Until , 2004, all dealers that buy, sell or trade our IDSs, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This is in addition to the dealers' obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.
Prior to the completion of this offering, the equity holders of our predecessor, Prestige International Holdings, LLC, will contribute all of our predecessor's equity securities to us in exchange for shares of our senior preferred stock, Class B preferred stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock. Upon completion of this contribution, we will be the ultimate parent company of Prestige Personal Care, Inc., Prestige Brands, Inc., Prestige Household Brands, Inc. and each of their respective consolidated subsidiaries. On February 6, 2004, a newly formed company controlled by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C., a private equity firm, acquired Medtech Holdings, Inc. and The Denorex Company. Our predecessor acquired The Spic and Span Company on March 5, 2004.
i
On April 6, 2004, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Brands, Inc. acquired Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc.
We are the issuer of the IDSs and separate senior subordinated notes (not represented by IDSs).
In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms:
Medtech and Denorex operate on a 52-week fiscal year ending on March 31. Bonita Bay and Spic and Span historically operated on calendar fiscal years. Prestige International LLC and each of its consolidated subsidiaries, including Prestige International and Spic and Span, currently have fiscal years ending on March 31. Fiscal years are identified in this prospectus according to the calendar year that they most accurately represent. For Medtech and Denorex, the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 and for Bonita Bay and Spic and Span, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 are sometimes referred to herein as "fiscal 2003" and "fiscal year 2003."
Unless the context requires otherwise, all descriptions relating to business operations, business risks, strategies and management refer to the combined businesses of Medtech, Denorex, Spic and Span and Prestige International after consummation of the acquisitions described elsewhere in this prospectus under the heading "Summary." As described above, certain of the acquired businesses historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year. For purposes of sales and other financial data presented in the "Summary" and "Business" sections of this prospectus for the year ended March 31, 2004, a historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses.
Trademarks and tradenames used in this prospectus are the property of their respective owners. We have utilized the ® and symbols the first time each brand appears in this prospectus.
Market, Ranking and Other Data
Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this prospectus to:
ii
In addition, the data included in this prospectus regarding markets and ranking, including the size of product markets and our position and the position of our competitors within these markets, are based on independent industry publications, including Information Resources, Inc., or "IRI," and ACNielsen, reports from government agencies or other published industry sources and our estimates based on our management's knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate. IRI and ACNielsen data does not include Wal-Mart and dollar stores. Our estimates have been based on information obtained from our customers, distributors, suppliers, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. We believe these estimates to be accurate as of the date of this prospectus. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which we obtained some of the data for our estimates or because this information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in a survey of market size. In addition, consumption patterns and consumer preferences can and do change. As a result, you should be aware that market, ranking and other similar data included in this prospectus, and estimates and beliefs based on such data, may not be reliable.

The following is a summary of the principal features of this offering of IDSs and senior subordinated notes and should be read together with the more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus.
Our Business
We are a leading branded consumer products company with a diversified portfolio of well-recognized brands in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. Our core brands have established high levels of consumer awareness and strong retail distribution across all major channels. Approximately 65% of our combined sales for the most recent fiscal year are from products that have a number one market share position. The following table outlines the leadership position of our major brands:

We have grown our company by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. We believe that these brands were considered non-core under previous ownership and, in most cases, did not benefit from the focus of senior level management or strong brand support. Our management has taken advantage of this opportunity by providing each acquired brand with the marketing support and senior level attention necessary to enhance the brand's market position, expand its distribution and successfully launch line extensions and new products.
Our core competencies are marketing, sales, customer service and product development. We outsource manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and logistics to experienced, low-cost third-party providers. This outsourcing model enables us to:
Our products are sold by mass merchandisers and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. We have a well-balanced mix across all of our classes of trade and we have been expanding our sales in high-growth club and dollar stores by introducing customized packaging for those channels. Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, which accounted for approximately 83.3% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. After giving effect to the Acquisitions described below, we had net sales of $272.7 million and income from continuing operations of $17.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
Competitive Strengths
Strong Operating Margins and Stable Cash Flows. Our leading brands and efficient operating model enable us to generate strong operating margins and stable cash flows. Our operating model, which focuses on our core competencies and outsources non-core functions to third parties, enables us to benefit from third-party economies of scale in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. We are therefore able to maintain low overhead and a highly variable cost structure with low working capital investment and negligible capital expenditures. Our presence across three major categories and numerous smaller niche markets provides us with a favorable product mix and enhances the stability of our cash flows. In addition, we have available beneficial tax attributes that we intend to use to reduce future tax payments, increasing our cash flows. We believe our diversified portfolio of brands and our operating model will enable us to generate strong and consistent cash flows.
Diversified Portfolio of Leading Brands. We own and market leading brands that have high levels of consumer brand awareness and widespread retail distribution. Approximately 65% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004 are from number one brands, including Comet, Chloraseptic, Compound W, Cutex, New-Skin, Murine and Dermoplast®. On average, our major brands were established over 45 years ago and have strong brand equity. For example:
Stable and Attractive Industry Segments. We compete in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. We believe these categories to be growing and relatively resistant to economic downturn. Our core products are consumer staples and generally are not as subject to changing consumer preferences as other discretionary consumer products. We target brands in categories that generally receive less focus from large consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and are highly responsive to product innovations, which facilitates category expansion. We believe barriers to entry are high due to our leading market position and high consumer awareness of our brands. Finally, our products are important to retailers due to their ability to drive consumer traffic
2
and generate attractive margins. This enables us to maintain close and lasting relationships with all of our top customers.
Proven Sales Growth Capability. We capitalize on our brands' high consumer awareness by systematically introducing new products and line extensions in order to extend our brands and grow sales. New product introductions are important because they enhance overall brand awareness and broaden distribution. We have demonstrated the underlying strength of our brands and the effectiveness of this strategy through line extensions, which expand product usage by adding new delivery methods or introducing products in related categories. Recent examples of line extensions include:
Experienced Senior Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands. Led by chief executive officer, Peter Mann, we have an experienced senior management team averaging over 30 years of experience in marketing, sales, customer service and product development. Peter Mann and his management team have successfully managed the Medtech and Spic and Span businesses and have been responsible for integrating numerous brands into the portfolio. Unlike many large consumer products companies, which we believe often entrust their smaller brands to rotating junior employees, our experienced managers are dedicated to specific brands and remain with those brands as they grow and evolve.
Business Strategy
Our business strategy is to leverage our core competencies of marketing, sales, customer service and product development to drive growth and to continue to enhance brand equity. We plan to execute this strategy through:

New Credit Facility
Concurrently with the closing of this offering, our subsidiary, Prestige Brands, will either amend its existing credit facility or enter into a $ new senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, including Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. Throughout this prospectus, we refer to this new or amended credit facility as the "new credit facility." We expect that the new credit facility will be comprised of a senior secured revolving credit facility in a total principal amount of $ million, which we refer to as the "new revolver," and a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $ million, which we refer to as the "new term loan." We expect that the new revolver will have a -year maturity and the new term loan will have a -year maturity. We may use borrowings under the new credit facility to pay interest on the senior subordinated notes or dividends on our capital stock if we meet specified conditions. The closing of this offering is conditioned upon the closing of the new credit facility. See "Description of Certain IndebtednessThe New Credit Facility."
Purchase or Redemption of the 91/4% Notes
After the completion of this offering, Prestige Brands will purchase or redeem all of its outstanding $210 million aggregate principal amount of 91/4% senior subordinated notes due 2012, which we refer to as the "91/4% notes," for an expected aggregate consideration of $ million plus accrued interest. We will use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering and/or borrowings under the new credit facility to pay for the purchase or redemption of the 91/4% notes.
The Transactions
GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C., a private equity firm, through its affiliate GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. and its co-investors, and certain other persons listed in "Principal Stockholders" are the owners of our predecessor's equity interests prior to this offering. In this prospectus, we refer to these owners as the "existing equity investors."
Prior to the completion of this offering, the existing equity investors will contribute all of the equity interests in our predecessor to us in exchange for shares of our senior preferred stock, shares of our Class B preferred stock, shares of our Class B common stock and shares of our Class C common stock. We refer to this contribution as the "reorganization." In connection with the reorganization, we will also liquidate or combine a number of our subsidiaries in order to simplify our organizational structure.
4
We estimate that we will sell IDSs and $ aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes (not represented by IDSs) in this offering and receive net proceeds of approximately $ million after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses, assuming an initial public offering price of $ per IDS, which represents the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
We will use the net proceeds of this offering together with the $ million net proceeds from the new credit facility and cash on hand to:
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, we will use the additional net proceeds to repurchase additional shares of our Class C common stock issued to our existing equity investors in the reorganization.
For ease of reference, we use the term "Transactions" to collectively refer to this offering, the reorganization, Prestige Brands repaying the existing credit facility and entering into the new credit facility or amending the existing credit facility, the purchase or redemption of the 91/4% notes and the purchase of all of our senior preferred stock, all of our Class B preferred stock and shares of our Class C common stock.
After completion of the Transactions, the existing equity investors will own shares of our Class B common stock and shares of our Class C common stock, representing % of the voting power of our capital stock.
The following chart illustrates our organizational structure after giving effect to the Transactions.
5
All our domestic subsidiaries will guarantee our obligations under the senior subordinated notes indenture. We and each of our domestic subsidiaries will also guarantee the obligations of Prestige Brands under the new credit facility. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries comprise less than 1% of both our total assets and total revenues on a pro forma basis for the Acquisitions.

Summary of the IDSs
We are offering IDSs at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per IDS (comprised of $ allocated to each subordinated note and $ allocated to each share of Class A common stock), which represents the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. We are also offering $ million aggregate principal amount of our % senior subordinated notes separately (not represented by IDSs) at an initial public offering price equal to the stated principal amount for each note. As described below, assuming we make our scheduled interest payments and pay dividends in the amount contemplated by our initial dividend policy, holders of IDSs will receive approximately $ per year in dividends on the Class A common stock and $ per year in interest on the notes represented by each IDS, and holders of our notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) will receive $ per year in interest per note. Dividend payments, however, are not mandatory or guaranteed, and our board of directors may, in its discretion, amend or repeal or deviate from our initial dividend policy or otherwise decide not to declare one or more dividends or to declare dividends in different amounts. In addition, our ability to pay dividends will be restricted if we do not meet certain financial tests as set forth in the new credit facility and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes. See "Risk FactorsWe are subject to restrictive debt covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on our operations and could limit our ability to grow our business." Further, our ability to pay dividends is restricted by Delaware law. See "Initial Dividend Policy and Restrictions." Holders of our common stock do not have any legal right to receive or require the payment of dividends.
Our sale of IDSs will be conditioned upon the consummation of our separate offering of senior subordinated notes. The senior subordinated notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) are being offered to strengthen our position regarding the United States federal income tax treatment of the senior subordinated notes.
What are IDSs?
IDSs are securities comprised of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes.
Each IDS initially represents:
The ratio of Class A common stock to principal amount of senior subordinated notes represented by an IDS is subject to change in the event of a stock split, combination or reclassification of our Class A common stock. For example, if we effect a two-for-one stock split, from and after the effective date of the stock split, each IDS will represent two shares of Class A common stock and the same principal amount of senior subordinated notes as it previously represented. Likewise, if we effect a combination or reclassification of our Class A common stock, each IDS will thereafter represent the appropriate number of shares of Class A common stock on a combined or reclassified basis, as applicable, and the same principal amount of senior subordinated notes as it previously represented.
To our knowledge, no statutory, judicial or administrative authority, including the Internal Revenue Service, has directly addressed the tax consequences of an investment in IDSs or the subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes.
What payments can I expect to receive as a holder of IDSs?
Assuming we make our scheduled interest payments on the senior subordinated notes and pay dividends in the amount contemplated by our anticipated dividend policy, you will receive in the
8
aggregate approximately $ per year in interest on the senior subordinated notes and $ per year in dividends on the Class A common stock represented by each IDS. We expect to make interest and dividend payments on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year to holders of record on the last day of the preceding month, or, if such day is not a business day, the last business day immediately preceding such day.
Subject to certain restrictions, we may choose to defer interest payments on our senior subordinated notes. See "Description of Senior Subordinated NotesInterest Deferral." In addition, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, will decide whether we will pay dividends and will determine the amount of any such dividend payment on the shares of our common stock. Furthermore, our ability to pay dividends may be restricted by the terms of the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes, the terms of our new credit facility and applicable law. See "Initial Dividend Policy and Restrictions."
Will my rights as a holder of IDSs be any different than the rights of a beneficial owner of separately held Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes?
No. As a holder of IDSs you are the beneficial owner of the Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by your IDSs. As such, through your broker or other financial institution and The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, you will have exactly the same rights, privileges and preferences, including voting rights, rights to receive distributions, rights and preferences in the event of a default under the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes, ranking upon bankruptcy and rights to receive communications and notices as a beneficial owner of separately held Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes, as applicable, would have through its broker or other financial institution and DTC.
Will the IDSs be listed on an exchange?
We will apply to list the IDSs for trading on the under the trading symbol " ."
Will the terms of the senior subordinated notes represented by IDSs be the same as the notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs)?
Yes. The senior subordinated notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) will be identical in all respects to the senior subordinated notes represented by IDSs and will be part of the same series of notes issued under the same indenture. Accordingly, holders of senior subordinated notes sold separately and holders of senior subordinated notes represented by IDSs will vote together as a single class, in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes they hold, on all matters on which they were eligible to vote under the indenture.
May purchasers of the senior subordinated notes being offered separately (and not represented by IDSs) also purchase IDSs in this offering?
No. Prior to the closing of this offering, each person purchasing separate notes in this offering will be required to represent in writing that:
9
Will the shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs be separately listed on an exchange?
We currently do not expect an active trading market for our Class A common stock or senior subordinated notes to develop. However, we will use reasonable efforts to list our Class A common stock for separate trading on the if a sufficient number of shares of our Class A common stock are held separately to meet the minimum requirements for separate trading on the for at least 30 consecutive trading days. The shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes offered hereby will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless they are held by "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
In what form will IDSs and the shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs be issued?
The IDSs and the shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs will be issued in book-entry form only. This means that you will not be a registered holder of IDSs or the securities represented by the IDSs and you will not receive a certificate for your IDSs or the securities represented by your IDSs. You must rely on your broker or other financial institution that will maintain your book-entry position to receive the benefits and exercise the rights of a holder of IDSs. Holders of IDSs are the beneficial owners of the Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by such IDSs and will have exactly the same rights, privileges and preferences, including voting rights, rights to receive distributions, rights and preferences in the event of a default under the senior subordinated notes indenture, ranking upon bankruptcy and rights to receive communications and notices as a direct holder of the Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes.
Can I separate my IDSs into shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes or recombine shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes to form IDSs?
Yes. Holders of IDSs, whether purchased in this offering or in a subsequent offering of IDSs of the same series, may, at any time after the earlier of 45 days from the date of the closing of this offering or the occurrence of a change of control, through their broker, custodian or other financial institution, separate the IDSs into the shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby. Any holder of shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes, whether represented by IDSs purchased in this offering or a subsequent offering and separated, or purchased separately in the secondary market, may, at any time, through his or her broker, custodian or other financial institution, combine the applicable number of shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes to form IDSs unless the IDSs have previously been automatically separated as a result of the continuance of a payment default on the senior subordinated notes for 90 days, or the redemption, acceleration or maturity of any senior subordinated notes. Separation and combination of IDSs may involve transaction fees charged by your broker and/or financial intermediary. See "Description of IDSsBook-Entry Settlement and ClearanceSeparation and Combination."
Will my IDSs automatically separate into shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes upon the occurrence of certain events?
Yes. All IDSs will automatically separate 90 days following the acceleration of the maturity of the senior subordinated notes for any reason, upon the continuance of a payment default on the senior subordinated notes for 90 days, upon the occurrence of any redemption, whether in whole or in part, of
10
the senior subordinated notes or upon the maturity of the senior subordinated notes. Following any such automatic separation, shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes may no longer be combined to form IDSs.
What will happen if we issue additional IDSs or senior subordinated notes of the same series in the future?
We will only issue IDSs in the future pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may conduct future financings by selling additional IDSs or senior subordinated notes of the same series, which will have terms that are identical to those of the IDSs being sold in this offering and will represent the same proportion of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes as is represented by the then outstanding IDSs. In addition, we may in the future issue IDSs in exchange for shares of our Class B common stock or Class C common stock, see "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsInvestor Rights Agreement." Although the senior subordinated notes represented by such IDSs will have terms that are identical (except for the issuance date) to the senior subordinated notes being sold in this offering and will be part of the same series of senior subordinated notes for all purposes under the indenture, it is possible that the new senior subordinated notes will be sold, issued or deemed to be issued with original issue discount, or OID, for United States federal income tax purposes. If such senior subordinated notes are issued with OID, all IDSs of the same series (including the IDSs being offered hereby) and all senior subordinated notes, whether held directly or in the form of IDSs, will be automatically exchanged for senior subordinated notes or IDSs, respectively, with new CUSIP numbers. This automatic exchange should not impair any rights you might otherwise have to assert a claim, under applicable securities laws, against us or the underwriters, with respect to the full amount of senior subordinated notes purchased by you; however, as a result of such exchanges, the OID associated with the sale of the new senior subordinated notes effectively will be spread among all holders of senior subordinated notes on a pro rata basis, which may adversely affect your tax treatment. However, see "Risk FactorsA subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes or an allocation of the IDS purchase price that results in OID may reduce the amount you can recover upon an acceleration of the payment of principal due on the senior subordinated notes or in the event of our bankruptcy" below.
We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any other applicable form) to announce and quantify any changes in the ratio of IDS components or changes in OID attributable to the senior subordinated notes.
What will be the United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in the IDSs?
The United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of IDSs or senior subordinated notes in this offering are not entirely clear.
Treatment of Purchase of IDSs. The purchase of IDSs in this offering should be treated for United States federal tax purposes as the purchase of shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes, rather than as the purchase of a single integrated security, and, by purchasing IDSs, you will agree to such treatment. You must allocate the purchase price of the IDSs between those shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes in proportion to their respective initial fair market values, which will establish your initial tax basis in each component of the IDSs. The value attributed to the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs has been established based on the fair market value of such shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes at issuance. We will report the initial fair market value of each share of Class A common stock as $ and the initial fair market value of each $ principal amount of senior subordinated notes as $ , and by purchasing IDSs, you will agree to such allocation. If the purchase of IDSs in this offering is treated for United States federal income tax purposes as the purchase of a single integrated security, treated as stock for United States federal income tax purposes,
11
and not as the purchase of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes, then our after-tax cash flow would be reduced and our ability to make interest payments and dividend payments on the senior subordinated notes and common stock could be impacted materially and adversely.
Treatment of Senior Subordinated Notes. Our tax counsel, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, is of the opinion that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes and we intend to deduct interest on such senior subordinated notes for tax purposes. If the senior subordinated notes were treated as equity rather than debt for United States federal income tax purposes, then the stated interest on the senior subordinated notes could be treated as a dividend, and interest on the senior subordinated notes would not be deductible by us for United States federal income tax purposes. This would adversely affect our financial position, cash flow, and liquidity, and could affect our ability to make interest or dividend payments on the senior subordinated notes and the common stock and may affect our ability to continue as a going concern. Our tax deduction for interest may be put at risk in the future as a result of a future ruling by the IRS, including an adverse ruling for other IDSs or an adverse ruling for our own IDSs and in the event of any such ruling, we may need to consider the effect of such developments on the determination of our future tax provisions and obligations. In addition, payments on the senior subordinated notes to foreign holders would be subject to United States federal withholding tax at rates up to 30%. Payments to foreign holders would not be grossed-up on account of any such taxes.
Our tax counsel is unable to opine on the treatment of future issuances of senior subordinated notes, in the form of IDSs or otherwise, for United States federal income tax purposes because such treatment will depend on the facts and circumstances in existence at the time of such future issuance.
For a more complete discussion of the material United States federal income tax considerations in connection with an investment in IDSs or senior subordinated notes, see "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences."
What will be the United States federal income tax consequences of a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes?
The United States federal income tax consequences to you of the subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID (or any issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter) are not entirely clear.
Exchange of Senior Subordinated Notes. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes will provide that, in the event that there is a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with a new CUSIP number having terms that are otherwise identical (other than the issuance date) in all material respects to the senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs, including an issuance of senior subordinated notes upon an exchange of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, each holder of IDSs or separately held senior subordinated notes, as the case may be, agrees that a portion of such holder's senior subordinated notes will be exchanged for a portion of the senior subordinated notes acquired by the holders of such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes. Consequently, immediately following such subsequent issuance, each holder of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes, held either as part of IDSs or separately, and each holder of existing senior subordinated notes, held either as part of IDSs or separately, will own an inseparable unit composed of a proportionate percentage of both the old senior subordinated notes and the newly issued senior subordinated notes. The aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes owned by each holder will not change as a result of such subsequent issuance and exchange. Because a subsequent issuance will affect the senior subordinated notes in the same manner, regardless of whether these senior subordinated notes are held as part of IDSs or separately, the combination of senior subordinated notes and shares of Class A common stock to form IDSs, or the separation of IDSs, should not affect your tax treatment.
12
It is unclear whether the exchange of senior subordinated notes for subsequently issued senior subordinated notes will result in a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes, and, accordingly, our tax counsel is unable to opine on this issue. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, might successfully assert that such an exchange should be treated as a taxable exchange. If the IRS successfully asserts that such an exchange should be treated as a taxable event, a holder would recognize any gain realized on such exchange, but a loss realized might be disallowed. If the exchange of senior subordinated notes is treated as a taxable exchange, then your initial tax basis in the senior subordinated notes deemed to have been received in the exchange would be the fair market value of such senior subordinated notes on the date of the deemed exchange (adjusted to reflect any disallowed loss), and your holding period for such senior subordinated notes would begin on the day after the deemed exchange.
Reporting of OID. Regardless of whether the exchange of senior subordinated notes is treated as a taxable event, such exchange could result in holders having to include OID in taxable income prior to the receipt of cash. Following any subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID (or any issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter) and resulting exchange, we (and our agents) will report any OID on the subsequently issued senior subordinated notes ratably among all holders of IDSs and separately held senior subordinated notes, and each holder of IDSs and separately held senior subordinated notes will, by purchasing IDSs or senior subordinated notes, agree to report OID in a manner consistent with this approach. However, we cannot assure you that the IRS will not assert that any OID should be reported only by the persons that initially acquired such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes (and their transferees) and they may challenge a holder's reporting of OID on its tax returns.
Because there is no statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addressing the tax treatment of the IDSs or senior subordinated notes or instruments similar to the IDSs or senior subordinated notes, we urge you to consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the IDSs or senior subordinated notes. For additional information, see "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences."
What is the initial and prospective accounting treatment of the IDSs?
There is no explicit guidance under generally accepted accounting principles regarding the accounting and reporting for unit securities comprised of common stock and notes like the IDSs. Any accounting followed by us for the IDSs may be subject to future scrutiny and challenge. Authoritative accounting bodies such as the FASB, EITF or SEC may issue future guidance, rules or interpretations which may require us to adjust our accounting for our IDSs. For our interpretation of the accounting treatment based on existing guidance available, see "Management's Discussion and AnalysisCritical Accounting Policies (Income Taxes and IDSs, Class B common stock and Class C common stock)."

Furthermore, our bylaws provide that we may only issue additional shares of Class A common stock as part of IDSs and pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to our "common stock" throughout this prospectus refer to our Class A common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and Class D common stock. |
|
Exchange for IDSs |
We will enter into an agreement with our existing equity investors that provides that following the second anniversary of the consummation of this offering, at the option of the holder of such shares of Class B common stock, we will exchange with the purchasers of such shares, one IDS for each share of Class B common stock, subject to compliance with law and applicable agreements and provided that no such exchange can be made if at that time a default or event of default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing or during any interest deferral period or after the end of any interest deferral period until all deferred interest (including interest accrued thereon) has been paid in full. |
|
In addition, this agreement will provide that 181 days following the consummation of this offering, at the option of the holder of shares of Class C common stock, we will exchange with the purchasers of such shares, one IDS for each share of Class C common stock, subject to compliance with law and applicable agreements and provided that no such exchange can be made if at that time a default or event of default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing or during any interest deferral period or after the end of any interest deferral period until all deferred interest (including interest accrued thereon) has been paid in full. |

shares of Class A common stock (or shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), all of which will be represented by IDSs, shares of Class B common stock and shares of Class C common stock (or shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). No shares of Class D common stock or preferred stock will be outstanding following the completion of this offering. |
|
Voting rights |
Each outstanding share of our common stock will carry one vote per share and all classes of common stock will vote as a single class on all matters presented to the stockholders for a vote. Our existing equity investors, through their ownership of shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock, will own % of the voting power of our common stock outstanding immediately following this offering. |
|
Dividends |
Dividends on the shares of our Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D common stock will be paid if and to the extent dividends are declared by our board of directors and permitted by applicable law and the terms of our then outstanding indebtedness. Specifically, the senior subordinated notes indenture and the new credit facility both restrict our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common stock, as described in detail under "Initial Dividend Policy and Restrictions." |
|
Upon the completion of this offering, our board of directors is expected to adopt a dividend policy which contemplates that, subject to applicable law and the terms of our then existing indebtedness, initial dividends will be approximately $ per share per annum of our Class A common stock. The initial dividend rate on the Class B common stock is expected to be $ per share per annum and the initial dividend rate on the Class C common stock is expected to be $ per share per annum. The dividend rate on the Class B and Class C common stock will be adjusted so that, if any dividends are paid on Class A common stock, dividends will be paid on our Class B common stock at a rate per share equal to $ plus the rate per share of dividends paid on our Class A common stock and dividends will be paid on our Class C common stock at a rate per share equal to $ plus the rate per share of dividends paid on our Class A common stock. Dividends on our Class B and Class C common stock will not be paid at a rate in excess of $ per share and $ per share, respectively, above the dividend rate per annum on our Class A common stock. |
||
15
Following the completion of this offering, no shares of Class D common stock will be outstanding and we do not anticipate that we will issue any shares of Class D common stock or declare dividends thereon in the near future. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, modify or repeal this dividend policy. We cannot assure you that we will pay dividends at this level or at all in the future. |
||
Dividend payment dates |
If declared, dividends on our Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock will be paid quarterly on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year to holders of record on the last day of the preceding month, or, if such day is not a business day, the last business day immediately preceding such day. |

Listing |
We will apply to list the IDSs on the under the trading symbol " ." We do not anticipate that our common stock will trade on an exchange, and we currently do not expect an active trading market for our Class A common stock to develop. However, we will use reasonable efforts to list our Class A common stock for separate trading on the if a sufficient number of shares of our Class A common stock are held separately to meet the then applicable minimum requirements for separate trading on the for at least 30 consecutive trading days.

||||
Interest deferral |
Prior to , 2009, we may, subject to certain restrictions, defer interest payments on our senior subordinated notes on one or more occasions for up to eight quarters in the aggregate, meaning that the eight quarters of deferred interest must be paid no later than , 2009. In addition, after , 2009, we may, subject to certain restrictions, defer interest payments on our senior subordinated notes on up to four occasions for no more than two quarters on each occasion. |
||||
Deferred interest on the senior subordinated notes will bear interest at the same rate as the stated rate on the senior subordinated notes, compounded quarterly, until paid in full. After the end of any deferral period, we will resume paying interest (including interest on deferred interest). |
|||||
No later than , 2009, we must pay in full all interest previously deferred (together with accrued interest thereon). We will repay all interest deferred after , 2009 on or before maturity, provided that we must pay deferred interest and accrued interest on deferred interest in full prior to deferring interest for a second occasion. |
|||||
17
During any interest deferral period and so long as any deferred interest or interest on deferred interest remains outstanding, we will not be permitted to make any payment of dividends on our capital stock. For a detailed description of interest deferral provisions of the indenture, see "Description of Senior Subordinated NotesInterest Deferral." In the event that interest payments on the senior subordinated notes are deferred, you would be required to include accrued interest in your income for U.S. federal income tax purposes on an economic accrual basis even if you do not receive any cash interest payments. See "Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations." |
|||||
Maturity date |
The senior subordinated notes will mature on , 2019. |
||||
Optional redemption |
We may not redeem the notes prior to , 2011. |
||||
On and after , 2011 and prior to , 2016, we may redeem for cash all or part of the notes upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days' notice by mail to the owners of senior subordinated notes, at the redemption prices set forth under "Description of NotesOptional Redemption." After , 2016, we may redeem the notes upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice by mail to the holders of notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed. If we redeem the notes in whole or in part, the notes and common stock represented by each IDS will be automatically separated and cannot thereafter be combined. |
|||||
In addition, we may redeem the senior subordinated notes, in whole but not in part, at any time at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed if we receive an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel that all or a substantial portion of the interest on the notes will not be deductible by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |
|||||
Change of control |
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined under "Description of Senior Subordinated NotesChange of Control," each holder of senior subordinated notes will have the right to require us to repurchase that holder's senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes being repurchased, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to but not including the repurchase date. If senior subordinated notes are held in the form of IDSs, in order to exercise that right, a holder of IDSs must separate its IDSs into the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby and hold the senior subordinated notes separately. |
||||
18
Guarantees of subordinated notes |
The senior subordinated notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, by each of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries existing on the closing of this offering and each of our future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries other than any securitization subsidiaries that incur indebtedness or issue shares of preferred stock or certain capital stock that is redeemable at the option of the holder. The guarantees will be subordinated to the guarantees issued by the subsidiary guarantors under the new credit facility. |
||||
Subsequent issuances may affect tax treatment |
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes will provide that in the event we issue additional senior subordinated notes with a new CUSIP number having terms that are otherwise identical to the senior subordinated notes (except for the issuance date), including any issuance of IDSs in exchange for shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock in connection with the issuance by us of additional IDSs, each holder of IDSs or separately held senior subordinated notes, as the case may be, agrees that a portion of such holder's senior subordinated notes, whether held as part of IDSs or separately, will be exchanged for a portion of the senior subordinated notes acquired by the holders of such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes, and the records of any record holders of senior subordinated notes will be revised to reflect such exchanges. Consequently, following each such subsequent issuance and exchange, each holder of IDSs or separately held senior subordinated notes, as the case may be, will own senior subordinated notes of each separate issuance in the same proportion as each other holder. However, the aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes owned by each holder will not change as a result of such subsequent issuance and exchange. Any subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes by us may affect the tax treatment of the IDSs and senior subordinated notes. See "Material United States Federal Income Tax ConsequencesUnited States HoldersSenior Subordinated NotesAdditional Issuances." |

Ranking of senior subordinated notes and guarantees |
Prestige Holdings is a holding company and derives all of its operating income and cash flow from its subsidiaries. The senior subordinated notes will be our and any guarantor's unsecured senior subordinated indebtedness, will be subordinated in right of payment to all our and any guarantor's existing and future senior indebtedness, including our borrowings and all guarantees of the subsidiary guarantors under the new credit facility. The senior subordinated notes and guarantees will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our and any guarantor's existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and trade payables, except for the impact of the contractual subordination provided in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes which may have the effect of causing holders of senior subordinated notes to receive less, ratably, than other creditors that are not subject to contractual subordination, and except for statutory priorities provided under the United States federal bankruptcy code and other applicable laws dealing with creditors rights generally. The senior subordinated notes will also be effectively subordinated to any of our and any guarantor's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing the indebtedness. Because we are a holding company, the senior subordinated notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. |
||||
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes will permit Prestige Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors to incur additional indebtedness, including senior indebtedness, subject to specified limitations. On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2004: |
|||||
|
Prestige Holdings would have had no senior or pari passu indebtedness outstanding except for its guarantee under the new credit facility, as described below; and |
||||
|
Prestige Brands would have had $ million aggregate principal amount of senior secured indebtedness outstanding under the new credit facility, which would have been guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Prestige Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors. |
||||
Restrictive covenants |
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes will contain covenants with respect to us and our restricted subsidiaries that will restrict: |
||||
|
the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of preferred stock and certain redeemable capital stock; |
||||
|
the payment of dividends on, and redemption of, capital stock; |
||||
20
|
a number of other restricted payments, including investments; |
||||
|
specified sales of assets; |
||||
|
specified transactions with affiliates; |
||||
|
the creation of a number of liens; and |
||||
|
consolidations, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets. |
||||
The indenture will also prohibit certain restrictions on distributions from our restricted subsidiaries. All the limitations and prohibitions described above are subject to a number of other important qualifications and exceptions described under "Description of Senior Subordinated NotesCertain Covenants." |
|||||
Listing |
We do not currently anticipate that our senior subordinated notes will be listed separately on any exchange. |
||||
Restrictions on transfer |
The senior subordinated notes issued in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless held by "affiliates" as that term is defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act. |
||||
Representation Letter |
None of the senior subordinated notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) in this offering may be purchased, directly or indirectly, by persons who are also (1) purchasing IDSs in this offering or (2) holders of Class B common stock or Class C common stock following our reorganization. Furthermore, prior to the closing of this offering, each person purchasing separate senior subordinated notes in this offering will be asked to make certain representations to us in connection with these restrictions. See "Underwriting." |

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data
Prestige Holdings is a holding company and has no direct operations. Prestige Holdings was formed for the purpose of reorganizing our corporate structure and consummating this offering. Prestige Holdings' principal assets will be the direct and indirect equity interests of its subsidiaries. As a result, we have not provided separate historical financial results for Prestige Holdings and present only the historical consolidated results of Prestige Brands International, LLC. The following table sets forth summary unaudited pro forma combined financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
The summary unaudited pro forma income statement data for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the:
as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003. Certain of the acquired businesses historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year. For purposes of the year ended March 31, 2004 data presented herein, the historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses. The summary unaudited pro forma income statement data have also been prepared to illustrate the effects of:
as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003. The pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 gives effect to the Prestige Acquisition and the Transactions as if they had occurred on that date.
The summary unaudited pro forma financial data and accompanying notes are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred or our financial position had the Acquisitions and the Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated above, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or financial position.
Management believes that the summary unaudited pro forma financial data is a meaningful presentation because our ability to satisfy debt and other obligations and to pay dividends is dependent upon cash flow from the businesses acquired in the Acquisitions.
The following information is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data," "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA an important indicator to investors in IDSs because it provides information related to our ability to provide cash flows to service debt, pay dividends and fund capital expenditures. We present this discussion of Adjusted EBITDA because covenants in the

For example, our ability to incur additional debt requires a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of to 1.00, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments without regard to the ratio. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss), and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for the Company's various cash flow measures (e.g., operating, investing and financing cash flows), which are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
On a pro forma basis, we calculated Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Before you invest in the IDSs (including the shares of our Class A common stock and our senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs) or the senior subordinated notes, you should carefully consider the various risks of the investment, including those described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of the IDSs and the senior subordinated notes could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to the IDSs, the Shares of Class A Common Stock and Senior Subordinated Notes Represented by the IDSs and the Senior Subordinated Notes Offered Separately (not represented by IDSs)
We have substantial indebtedness that could restrict our ability to pay interest and principal on the senior subordinated notes and to pay dividends with respect to shares of our Class A common stock represented by the IDSs and impact our financing options and liquidity position.
Our ability to make distributions, pay dividends or make other payments will be subject to applicable law and contractual restrictions contained in the instruments governing our indebtedness, including the new credit facility which we guarantee on a senior secured basis. The degree to which we are leveraged on a consolidated basis could have important consequences to the holders of the IDSs and of separate senior subordinated notes (not represented by IDSs), including:
As of March 31, 2004, we had the following amount of indebtedness that ranks senior or pari passu with the senior subordinated notes, not including trade payables:

---|---|---|---|---|
|
(dollars in millions) |
|||
Indebtedness senior to the senior subordinated notes | $ | |||
Indebtedness pari passu with the senior subordinated notes | ||||
Total | $ | |||
Although the new credit facility will contain total leverage, senior leverage and cash interest coverage maintenance covenants that will restrict our ability to incur debt as described under "Description of Certain IndebtednessNew Credit Facility," the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes allows us to issue an unlimited amount of senior subordinated notes so long as we issue additional shares of Class A common stock in the appropriate proportionate amounts to represent additional IDSs.
30
We may amend the terms of the new credit facility, or we may enter into new agreements that govern our senior indebtedness and the amended new credit facility or the terms of the new agreements may significantly affect our ability to pay interest on our senior subordinated notes and dividends on shares of our common stock.
The new credit facility contains significant restrictions on our ability to pay interest on the senior subordinated notes and dividends on shares of common stock based on us meeting certain performance measures and compliance with other conditions. As a result of general economic conditions, conditions in the lending markets, the results of our business or for any other reason, we may elect or be required to amend or refinance the new credit facility, at or prior to maturity, or enter into additional agreements for senior indebtedness. Regardless of any protection you have in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, any such amendment, refinancing or additional indebtedness may contain covenants that could limit, in a significant manner, our ability to make interest payments and pay dividends to you.
We are subject to restrictive debt covenants that limit our business flexibility by imposing operating and financial restrictions on our operations and could limit our ability to grow our business.
The agreements governing our indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions prohibit or limit, among other things:
The terms of the new credit facility include other and more restrictive covenants and prohibit us from prepaying our other indebtedness, including the senior subordinated notes, while indebtedness under the new credit facility is outstanding. The new credit facility also requires us to maintain certain specified financial ratios and satisfy financial condition tests. Our ability to comply with the ratios or tests may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions.
A breach of any of these covenants, ratios or tests could result in a default under the new credit facility and/or the indenture. Events of default under the new credit facility would prohibit us from making payments on the senior subordinated notes in cash, including payment of interest when due. In addition, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the new credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the new credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the security granted to them to secure that indebtedness. If the lenders accelerate the payment of the indebtedness, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full this indebtedness and our other indebtedness, including the senior subordinated notes.
31
We are a holding company and rely on dividends and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our debt service and other obligations.
We are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries. We currently have no significant assets other than direct and indirect equity interests in our subsidiaries. All of our equity interests in our domestic subsidiaries will be pledged to the creditors under the new credit facility which we guarantee. As a result, we will rely on dividends and other payments or distributions from our subsidiaries to meet our debt service obligations and enable us to pay dividends. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to us will depend on their respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of their jurisdiction of organization (which may limit the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends), agreements of those subsidiaries, the terms of the new credit facility and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries incur.
Subject to restrictions set forth in the indenture, we may defer the payment of interest to you for a significant period of time.
Prior to , 2009, we may, subject to restrictions set forth in the indenture, defer interest payments on our senior subordinated notes on one or more occasions for up to an aggregate period of eight quarters. In addition, after , 2009, we may, subject to certain restrictions, defer interest payments on our senior subordinated notes on four occasions for up to two consecutive quarters on each occasion. Deferred interest will bear interest at the same rate as the senior subordinated notes. For any interest deferred during the first five years, we are not obligated to pay any deferred interest until , 2009, so you may be owed a substantial amount of deferred interest that will not be due and payable until such time. For any interest deferred after , 2009, we are not obligated to pay all of the deferred interest until , 2019, so you may be owed a substantial amount of deferred interest that will not be due and payable until such time.
Deferral of interest payments would have adverse tax consequences for you and may adversely affect the trading price of the senior subordinated notes.
If we defer interest payments on the senior subordinated notes, you will be required to recognize interest income for United States federal income tax purposes in respect of the senior subordinated notes before you receive any cash payment of this interest. In addition, we will not pay you this cash if you sell the IDSs or the senior subordinated notes, as the case may be, before the end of any deferral period or before the record date relating to interest payments that are to be paid.
The IDSs or the senior subordinated notes may trade at a price that does not fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest on the senior subordinated notes if we defer interest payments. In addition, the requirement that we defer payments of interest on the senior subordinated notes under certain circumstances may mean that the market price for the IDSs or the senior subordinated notes may be more volatile than other securities that do not have this requirement.
You may not receive the level of dividends provided for in the dividend policy our board of directors is expected to adopt upon the closing of this offering or any dividends at all.
Our board of directors may, in its discretion, amend or repeal the dividend policy it is expected to adopt upon the closing of this offering. Our board of directors may decrease the level of dividends provided for in this dividend policy or entirely discontinue the payment of dividends. Future dividends with respect to shares of our capital stock, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, business opportunities, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. The indenture governing our senior subordinated notes and the new credit facility contain significant
32
restrictions on our ability to make dividend payments, including, if we defer interest on the senior subordinated notes under the indenture, restrictions on the payment of dividends until we have paid all deferred interest.
In addition, our after-tax cash flow available for dividend and interest payments would be reduced if the senior subordinated notes were treated as equity rather than debt for United States federal income tax purposes. In that event, the stated interest on the senior subordinated notes could be treated as a dividend and interest on the senior subordinated notes would not be deductible by us for United States federal income tax purposes. Our inability to deduct interest on the senior subordinated notes could materially increase our taxable income and, thus, our United States federal and applicable state income tax liability. If this were to occur, our after-tax cash flow available for dividend and interest payments would be reduced.
Ownership change will limit our ability to use certain losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may increase our tax liability.
The transactions contemplated herein will result in an "ownership change" within the meaning of the U.S. federal income tax laws addressing net operating loss carryforwards, alternative minimum tax credits and other similar tax attributes. As a result of such ownership change, as well as any prior ownership changes, there will be specific limitations on our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes from periods prior to this offering. It is possible in the future that such limitations could limit our ability to utilize such tax attributes and, therefore, result in an increase in our U.S. federal income tax liability. Such an increase would reduce the funds available for the payments of dividends and might require us to reduce or eliminate the dividends on our IDSs and Class A common stock.
You will be immediately diluted by $ per share of Class A common stock if you purchase IDSs in this offering.
If you purchase IDSs in this offering, based on the book value of the assets and liabilities reflected on our balance sheet, you will experience an immediate dilution of $ per share of Class A common stock represented by the IDSs which exceeds the entire price allocated to each share of Class A common stock represented by the IDSs in this offering because there will be a net tangible book deficit for each share of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2004, after giving effect to this offering, was approximately $ million, or $ per share of Class A common stock.
Our interest expense may increase significantly and could cause our net income and distributable cash to decline significantly.
The new credit facility will be subject to periodic renewal or must otherwise be refinanced. We may not be able to renew or refinance the new credit facility, or if renewed or refinanced, the renewal or refinancing may occur on less favorable terms. Borrowings under the revolving facility will be made at a floating rate of interest. In the event of an increase in the base reference interest rates, our interest expense will increase and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to make cash dividend payments to our stockholders. Our ability to continue to expand our business will, to a large extent, be dependent upon our ability to borrow funds under our new credit facility and to obtain other third party financing, including through the sale of IDSs or other securities. We cannot assure you that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
33
We may not generate sufficient funds from operations to pay our indebtedness at maturity or upon the exercise by holders of their rights upon a change of control.
A significant portion of our cash flow from operations will be dedicated to servicing our debt requirements. In addition, we currently expect to distribute a significant portion of any remaining cash earnings to our stockholders in the form of quarterly dividends. Moreover, prior to the maturity of our senior subordinated notes, we will not be required to make any payments of principal on our senior subordinated notes. We may not generate sufficient funds from operations to repay the principal amount of our indebtedness at maturity or in case you exercise your right to require us to purchase your notes upon a change of control. We may therefore need to refinance our debt or raise additional capital. These alternatives may not be available to us when needed or on satisfactory terms due to prevailing market conditions, a decline in our business or restrictions contained in our senior debt obligations.
The indenture governing our senior subordinated notes and our new credit facility permit us to pay a significant portion of our cash flow to stockholders in the form of dividends, thereby reducing the amounts available to satisfy our obligations under the senior subordinated notes.
Although the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes and our new credit facility have some limitations on our payment of dividends, they permit us to pay a significant portion of our cash flow to stockholders in the form of dividends. Following completion of this offering, we intend to pay quarterly dividends. Specifically, the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes permits us to pay up to 100% of our excess cash (as defined in the indenture) subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage test as more fully described in "Description of Senior Subordinated NotesCertain Covenants." The new credit facility permits us to use up to 100% of the excess cashflow, as defined in the new credit facility plus certain other amounts under certain limited circumstances to fund dividends on our shares of common stock. Any amounts paid by us in the form of dividends will not be available in the future to satisfy our obligations under the senior subordinated notes.
Because we will use a significant portion of the proceeds of this offering to purchase equity interests from existing equity investors, we will have only the remaining portion of the proceeds of this offering to repay our existing debt and for corporate purposes and will have to incur more debt.
We will use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering to purchase equity interests from existing equity investors as part of our reorganization. Therefore, we will not have these funds available to us (1) to repay our existing debt, and will therefore have to borrow more under our new credit facility to repay the existing credit facility than we would have had we not undertaken these purchases, or (2) to fund our operations or to expand our business.
The realizable value of our assets upon liquidation may be insufficient to satisfy claims.
At March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis for the Acquisitions, our assets included intangible assets in the amount of $855.2 million, representing approximately 89.7% of our total consolidated assets and consisting primarily of value assigned to trademarks and brand names. The value of these intangible assets will continue to depend significantly upon the success of our business as a going concern and the growth in cash flows. As a result, in the event of a default under our new credit facility or on our senior subordinated notes or our bankruptcy or dissolution, the realizable value of these assets may be substantially lower and may be insufficient to satisfy the claims of our creditors.
34
Because of the subordinated nature of the senior subordinated notes, holders of our senior subordinated notes may not be entitled to be paid in full, or at all, in a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding.
As a result of the subordinated nature of our notes and related guarantees, upon any distribution to our creditors or the creditors of the subsidiary guarantors in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the subsidiary guarantors or our or their property, the holders of our senior indebtedness and senior indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors will be entitled to be paid in full in cash before any payment may be made with respect to our senior subordinated notes or the subsidiary guarantees.
In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or the subsidiary guarantors, holders of our senior subordinated notes will participate with all other holders of unsecured indebtedness of ours or the subsidiary guarantors that are similarly subordinated in the assets remaining after we and the subsidiary guarantors have paid all senior indebtedness. However, because of the existence of the subordination provisions, including the requirement that holders of the senior subordinated notes pay over distributions to holders of senior indebtedness, holders of the senior subordinated notes may receive less, ratably, than our other unsecured creditors, including trade creditors. In any of these cases, we and the subsidiary guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors. Holders of our senior subordinated notes may, therefore, receive less, ratably, than the holders of our senior indebtedness.
On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2004, our senior subordinated notes and the subsidiary guarantees would have ranked junior, on a consolidated basis, to $ million of outstanding senior secured indebtedness and the subsidiary guarantees would have ranked junior to no senior unsecured debt and pari passu with approximately $ million of outstanding indebtedness of ours and the subsidiary guarantors. In addition, as of March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis, we would have had the ability to borrow up to an additional amount of $ million under the new credit facility, which would have ranked senior in right of payment to our senior subordinated notes. If any of the 91/4% notes are not purchased or redeemed by us by the closing of this offering, such notes will rank pari passu to our senior subordinated notes and the subsidiary guarantees until such time as we purchase or redeem such notes.
In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, holders of their indebtedness, including their trade creditors, would generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any assets are made available for distribution to us for payment to you.
Holders of our senior subordinated notes will be structurally subordinated to the debt of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.
In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency, the senior subordinated notes and guarantees could be adversely affected by principles of equitable subordination or recharacterization.
In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency, a party in interest may seek to subordinate the senior subordinated notes or the guarantees under principles of equitable subordination or to recharacterize the senior subordinated notes as equity. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of such proceedings. In the event a court subordinates the senior subordinated notes or the guarantees, or recharacterizes the senior subordinated notes as equity, we cannot assure you that you would recover any amounts owed on the senior subordinated notes or the guarantees and you may be required to return any payments made to you within six years before the bankruptcy on account of the senior subordinated notes or the guarantees. In addition, should the court equitably subordinate the senior subordinated notes or the guarantees, or recharacterize the senior subordinated notes as equity you may not be able to enforce the guarantees.
35
The guarantees of the senior subordinated notes by our subsidiaries may be unenforceable because of fraudulent conveyance laws.
Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debt of the guarantor, if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time that it assumed the guarantee:
In addition, any payment by the guarantor under its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor or the guarantee could be subordinated to other debt of the guarantor.
What constitutes insolvency for the purposes of fraudulent transfer laws varies depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine if a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a person would be considered insolvent if, at the time such person incurred the debt:
We believe that immediately after the issuance of the senior subordinated notes and the guarantees, we and each of the guarantors will be solvent, have sufficient capital to carry on our respective businesses and be able to pay our respective debts as they mature. We cannot be sure, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would reach the same conclusions with regard to these issues. Regardless of the standard that the court uses, we cannot be sure that the issuance by the subsidiary guarantors of the subsidiary guarantees would not be voided or the subsidiary guarantees would not be subordinated to their other debt.
The guarantee of our senior subordinated notes by any subsidiary guarantor could be subject to the claim that since the guarantee was incurred for the benefit of Prestige Holdings and only indirectly for the benefit of the subsidiary guarantor, the obligations of the subsidiary guarantor were incurred for less than fair consideration. If such a claim were successful and it was proven that the subsidiary guarantor was insolvent at the time the guarantee was issued, a court could void the obligations of the subsidiary guarantor under the guarantee or subordinate these obligations to the subsidiary guarantor's other debt or take action detrimental to holders of the senior subordinated notes. If the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor were voided, our senior subordinated notes would be effectively subordinated to the indebtedness and other credit obligations of that subsidiary guarantor.
36
The United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of IDSs and senior subordinated notes are uncertain.
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the treatment of the IDSs or the senior subordinated notes, or instruments similar to the IDSs or the senior subordinated notes, for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of IDSs and the senior subordinated notes are uncertain. We will receive an opinion from our counsel, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, to the effect that an IDS should be treated as a unit representing a share of common stock and senior subordinated notes, and that the senior subordinated notes should be classified as debt for United States federal income tax purposes and we intend to deduct interest on such senior subordinated notes for tax purposes. However, the IRS or the courts may take the position that the IDSs are a single security classified as equity, or that the senior subordinated notes are properly classified as equity for United States federal income tax purposes, which could adversely affect the amount, timing and character of income, gain or loss in respect of your investment in IDSs or senior subordinated notes, and materially increase our taxable income and, thus, our United States federal and applicable state income tax liability. This would adversely affect our financial position, cash flow, and liquidity, and could affect our ability to make interest or dividend payments on the senior subordinated notes and the common stock and may affect our ability to continue as a going concern. Our tax deduction for interest may be put at risk in the future as a result of a future ruling by the IRS, including an adverse ruling for other IDSs or an adverse ruling for our own IDSs issued now or subsequently and in the event of any such ruling, we may need to consider the effect of such developments on the determination of our future tax provisions and obligations. Foreign holders could be subject to withholding or estate taxes with regard to the senior subordinated notes in the same manner as they will be with regard to the common stock. Payments to foreign holders would not be grossed-up for any such taxes. For discussion of these tax-related risks, see "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences."
The allocation of the purchase price of the IDSs may not be respected, which may require you to include original issue discount in your income even if you have not received the cash attributable to that income.
The purchase price of each IDS must be allocated for tax purposes between the share of common stock and senior subordinated notes comprising the IDS in proportion to their respective fair market values at the time of purchase. If our allocation is not respected, then it is possible that the senior subordinated notes will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount, or OID (if the allocation to the senior subordinated notes were determined to be too high) or amortizable bond premium (if the allocation to the senior subordinated notes were determined to be too low). You generally would be required to include OID in income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income and would be able to elect to amortize bond premium over the term of the senior subordinated notes.
Because of the deferral of interest provisions, the senior subordinated notes may be treated as issued with original issue discount.
Under applicable Treasury regulations, a "remote" contingency that stated interest will not be timely paid is disregarded in determining whether a debt instrument is issued with OID. Although there is no authority directly on point, based on our financial forecasts, we believe that the likelihood of deferral of interest payments on the senior subordinated notes is remote within the meaning of the Treasury regulations. Based on the foregoing determination made by us, although the matter is not free from doubt because of the lack of direct authority, our counsel is of the opinion that the possibility that interest payments on the senior subordinated notes may be deferred should not cause the senior subordinated notes to be considered to be issued with OID at the time of their original issuance. If
37
deferral of any payment of interest were determined not to be "remote," then the senior subordinated notes would be treated as issued with OID at the time of issuance. In such case, all stated interest on the senior subordinated notes would be treated as OID, with the consequence that all holders would be required to include the yield on the senior subordinated notes in income as it accrued on a constant yield basis, possibly in advance of their receipt of the associated cash and regardless of their method of tax accounting.
If we subsequently issue senior subordinated notes with significant OID, we may not be able to deduct all of the interest on the senior subordinated notes.
It is possible that senior subordinated notes we issue in a subsequent issuance will be issued at a discount to their face value and, accordingly, may have "significant OID" and thus be classified as "applicable high yield discount obligations." If any such senior subordinated notes were so treated, a portion of the OID on such notes would be nondeductible by us and the remainder would be deductible only when paid. It is also possible that senior subordinated notes we issue in a subsequent issuance will be treated as equity for tax purposes. If any such senior subordinated notes were so treated, the interest payable on such senior subordinated notes would be non-deductible by us. Any limit on our ability to deduct interest for tax purposes would have the effect of increasing our taxable income and may adversely affect our cash flow available for interest payments and distributions to our shareholders.
Subsequent issuances of senior subordinated notes may cause you to recognize taxable gain and/or original issue discount.
The United States federal income tax consequences to you of a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID (or any issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter) are unclear and our counsel is unable to opine on this issue. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and our agreements with DTC will provide that, in the event that there is a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID, and in connection with each issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter, including an issuance of senior subordinated notes upon an exchange of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, each holder of senior subordinated notes or IDSs, as the case may be, agrees that a portion of such holder's senior subordinated notes will be automatically exchanged for a portion of the senior subordinated notes acquired by the holders of such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes. Such subsequent issuance and exchange will not change the aggregate stated principal amount of senior subordinated notes owned by you and each other holder.
Due to the lack of applicable authority, it is unclear whether an exchange of senior subordinated notes for subsequently issued senior subordinated notes will result in a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. It is possible that the IRS might successfully assert that such an exchange should be treated as a taxable exchange. In such case, you would recognize any gain realized on the exchange, but a loss might be disallowed. For a more complete description of the tax consequences of a subsequent issuance, see "Material United States Federal Income Tax ConsequencesSenior Subordinated NotesAdditional Issuances."
Regardless of whether the exchange is treated as a taxable event, such exchange may result in an increase in the amount of OID, if any, that you are required to accrue with respect to the senior subordinated notes. Following any subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID or any issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter and resulting exchange, we and our agents will report any OID on any subsequently issued senior subordinated notes ratably among all holders of senior subordinated notes and IDSs. By purchasing senior subordinated notes or IDSs, as the case may be, each holder of senior subordinated notes and IDSs agrees to report OID in a manner consistent with this approach. As a result of a subsequent issuance, therefore, you may be required to report OID even though you purchased senior subordinated notes having no OID. This will generally result in you
38
reporting more interest income over the term of the senior subordinated notes than you would have reported had no such subsequent issuance and exchange occurred.
The IRS, however, may assert that OID should be reported only to the persons that initially acquired such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes and their transferees. In such case, the IRS might further assert that, unless a holder can establish that it is not an initial holder of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes or a transferee thereof, all senior subordinated notes held by such holder will have OID. Any of these assertions by the IRS could create significant uncertainties in the pricing of IDSs and senior subordinated notes and could adversely affect the market for IDSs and senior subordinated notes.
A subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes or an allocation of IDS purchase price that results in OID may reduce the amount you can recover upon an acceleration of the payment of principal due on the senior subordinated notes or in the event of our bankruptcy.
Under New York and federal bankruptcy law, holders of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes having original issue discount may not be able to collect the portion of the principal face amount of such senior subordinated notes that represents unamortized original issue discount as of the acceleration or filing date, as the case may be, in the event of an acceleration of the senior subordinated notes or in the event of our bankruptcy prior to the maturity date of the senior subordinated notes. As a result, a treatment of the senior subordinated notes as having been issued with OID or an automatic exchange that results in a holder receiving a senior subordinated note with original issue discount could have the effect of ultimately reducing the amount such holder can recover from us in the event of an acceleration or bankruptcy.
Before this offering, there has not been a public market for our IDSs, shares of our Class A common stock or senior subordinated notes. The price of the IDSs, shares of our Class A common stock or senior subordinated notes may fluctuate substantially, which could negatively affect the value of your investment.
None of the IDSs, the shares of our Class A common stock or the senior subordinated notes has a public market history. In addition, there has not been an established market in the United States for securities similar to the IDSs. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the IDSs will develop in the future, and we currently do not expect that an active trading market for the shares of our Class A common stock will develop until the senior subordinated notes are redeemed or mature. If the senior subordinated notes represented by your IDSs are redeemed or mature, the IDSs will automatically separate and you will then hold the shares of our Class A common stock. We will not apply to list our shares of Class A common stock for separate trading on the or any other exchange until the number of shares held separately and not represented by IDSs is sufficient to satisfy the then applicable requirements for separate trading on such exchange. The Class A common stock may not be approved for listing at such time. We do not intend to list our senior subordinated notes on any securities exchange.
The initial public offering price of the IDSs has been determined by negotiations among us, the existing equity investors and the representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of the market price of the IDSs after the offering. Factors such as quarterly variations in our financial results, announcements by us or others, developments affecting us, our clients and our suppliers, general interest rate levels and general market volatility could cause the market price of the IDSs to fluctuate significantly.
39
If the IDSs separate, the limited liquidity of the market for the senior subordinated notes and Class A common stock may adversely affect your ability to sell the senior subordinated notes and Class A common stock.
We do not intend to list the senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs on any exchange or quotation system. We will not apply to list our shares of Class A common stock for separate trading on the or any other exchange or quotation system until the number of shares held separately is sufficient to satisfy applicable requirements for separate trading on such exchange or quotation system. The Class A common stock may not be approved for listing at such time. Upon separation of the IDSs, no sizable market for the senior subordinated notes and the Class A common stock may ever develop and the liquidity of any trading market for the notes or the Class A common stock that does develop may be limited. As a result, your ability to sell your notes or Class A common stock, and the market price you can obtain, could be adversely affected.
The limited liquidity of the trading market for the senior subordinated notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) may adversely affect the trading price of the separate senior subordinated notes.
We are separately selling $ million aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes (not represented by IDSs), representing approximately 10% of the total outstanding senior subordinated notes (assuming the exchange of all outstanding Class B common stock and Class C common stock for IDSs). While the senior subordinated notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) are part of the same series of notes as, and identical to, the senior subordinated notes represented by IDSs at the time of the issuance of the separate senior subordinated notes, the senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs will not be separable for at least 45 days and will not be separately tradable until separated. As a result, the initial trading market for the senior subordinated notes sold separately (not represented by IDSs) will be very limited. Even after holders of the IDSs are permitted to separate their IDSs, a sufficient number of holders of IDSs may not separate their IDSs into shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes to create a sizable and more liquid trading market for the senior subordinated notes not represented by IDSs. Therefore, a liquid market for the senior subordinated notes may not develop, which may adversely affect the ability of the holders of the separate senior subordinate notes to sell any of their separate senior subordinated notes and the price at which these holders would be able to sell any of the senior subordinated notes sold separately.
Future sales or the possibility of future sales of a substantial amount of IDSs, shares of our Class A common stock or our senior subordinated notes may depress the price of the IDSs and the shares of our Class A common stock and our senior subordinated notes.
Future sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of IDSs or shares of our Class A common stock or a significant principal amount of our senior subordinated notes in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the IDSs and the shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our securities.
We may issue shares of our common stock and senior subordinated notes, which may be in the form of IDSs, or other securities from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions and investments. In the event any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of our common stock and the aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes, which may be in the form of IDSs, or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may issue may in turn be significant. In addition, we may also grant registration rights covering those IDSs, shares of our common stock, senior subordinated notes or other securities in connection with any such acquisitions and investments.

Risks Relating to our Business and the Industry
The high level of competition in our industry could adversely affect our business.
The business of selling branded consumer products in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories is highly competitive. These markets include numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers' business both in the United States and abroad. Some of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do, and may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on advertising and marketing and to respond more flexibly to changing business and economic conditions than us.
We compete on the basis of numerous factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, price and product availability at the retail stores. Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging, the timing of new product introductions and line extensions also have a significant impact on customer's buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales. The structure and quality of the sales force, as well as consumer consumption of our products, affects in-store position, wall display space and inventory levels in retail outlets. Our markets also are highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. An increase in the amount of competition that we face could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by us. Competitive pricing may require price reductions by us and may result in lost sales. There can be no assurance that future price or product changes by our competitors will not have a material adverse effect on us or that we will be able to react with price or product changes of our own to maintain our current market position.
We are dependent on third parties for the manufacture of the products we sell.
All of our products are manufactured by third parties. Without adequate supplies of merchandise to sell to our customers, sales would decrease materially and our business would suffer. In the event that manufacturers are unable or unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner or continue to manufacture products for us, we would have to rely on other current manufacturing sources or identify and qualify new manufacturers. We might not be able to identify or qualify such manufacturers for existing or new products in a timely manner and such manufacturers might not allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, identifying alternative vendors without adequate lead times can compromise required product validation and stability work, which may involve additional manufacturing expense, delay in production or product disadvantage in the marketplace. The consequences of not securing adequate and timely supplies of merchandise would negatively impact inventory levels, sales and gross margin rates, and ultimately our results of operations.
In addition, even if our current manufacturers continue to manufacture our products, they may not maintain adequate controls with respect to product specifications and quality and may not continue to produce products that are consistent with our standards or applicable regulatory requirements. If we are forced to rely on products of inferior quality, then our brand recognition and customer satisfaction would likely suffer. These manufacturers may also increase the cost of the products we purchase from them. If our manufacturers increase our costs, our margins would be adversely affected if we cannot pass along these increased costs to our customers.
Should we experience significant unanticipated demand, we will be required to expand our access to manufacturing, both from current and new manufacturing sources. If such additional manufacturing capacity is not available or is not available on terms as favorable as those obtained from current sources, then our revenues or margins, or both, will suffer.
41
Furthermore, we do not have long-term contracts with many of our manufacturers. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing these products for us at any time and for any reason.
Finally, two of our products are produced and imported directly from China. If these products become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States due to tariffs, embargoes or other reasons and if we cannot obtain such merchandise from other sources at similar costs, then our sales and margins would decline. Moreover, in the event that commercial transportation is curtailed or substantially delayed, we may not be able to maintain adequate inventory levels of these products on a consistent basis, which would negatively impact our sales and potentially erode the confidence of our customer base, leading to further loss of sales and an adverse impact on our results of operations.
Failure to maintain our relationships with our main product distributors or disruption in our main distribution centers could adversely affect our business.
We manage our product distribution in the continental United States through a main distribution center in St. Louis, Missouri, and outsource the shipping and distribution of our products to customers to a single logistics company. We cannot assure you that this company will continue to ship and distribute our products on current pricing or terms. If there is any disruption in this company's ability to deliver our products, we may lose customers and our sales will be adversely affected. Further, should this company decide to terminate its contract with us, we may not be able to find an adequate replacement within a reasonable period of time and at a reasonable cost to us. To the extent that this company increases its prices, we are unable to find a replacement or are required to hire a replacement at additional cost, our financial performance could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, a serious disruption, such as a flood or fire, to our main distribution centers could damage our inventory and could materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. We could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our customers during the time that it takes for us to reopen or replace a distribution center. As a result, any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Difficulty in integrating the Prestige International business may adversely affect our operations.
In connection with the Prestige Acquisition completed on April 6, 2004, we acquired five additional brands. We are currently integrating the operations of this company and brands into our existing portfolio. The integration may proceed more slowly or be more difficult than we currently contemplate and, as a result, our financial position and results of operations may be adversely affected. Furthermore, we may encounter unanticipated difficulties with integrating Prestige International and its brands, including problems that may arise as we integrate our respective information technology systems, and the measures that we have taken to date or plan to take in the future may not adequately resolve these issues. Integration difficulties may adversely affect our future financial position and results of operations.
We may not realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Acquisitions, which may adversely affect our financial performance.
We cannot assure you that we will realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Acquisitions, which we discuss under "Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this prospectus. These are forward-looking estimates and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual cost savings or cash generated to be
42
materially different from our estimates or result in these savings not being realized in the time frame expected, or at all.
In addition to the general factors discussed above, such estimates are based on a variety of other factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions, including:
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, as a combined company, we will continue to maintain all of the manufacturer and customer relationships that the acquired companies enjoyed as separate companies. As a combined company, we may encounter difficulties managing relationships with our manufacturers due to our increased size and scope and to the increased number of relationships we will have with manufacturers.
We depend on a limited number of customers for a large portion of our gross sales and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce our gross sales.
Our core customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Albertson's. For the year ended March 31, 2004, our top five and ten customers accounted for approximately 42.1% and 57.1% of our gross sales, respectively, and Wal-Mart itself accounted for approximately 23.0% of our gross sales. We expect that for the year ended March 31, 2005 and future periods our top five and ten customers, including Wal-Mart, will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of our gross sales. The loss of one or more of our top customers that account for a significant portion of our gross sales, any significant decrease in sales to these customers, or any significant decrease in our retail display space in any of these customers' stores, could reduce our gross sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, our business is based primarily upon individual sales orders, and we typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers. Accordingly, our customers could cease buying our products from us at any time and for any reason. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our customers means that we have no recourse in the event a customer no longer wants to purchase products from us. If a significant number of our customers elect not to purchase products from us, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Regulatory matters governing our industry could have a significant negative effect on our business.
In both our U.S. and foreign markets, we are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. Such laws, regulations and other constraints may exist at the federal, state or local levels in the United States and at all levels of government in foreign jurisdictions.
The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") and by various agencies of the
43
states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed and sold. Failure by us or our manufacturers to comply with those regulations could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims and could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of sales revenues.
All of our over-the-counter drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA's monograph system. The monographs, both tentative and final, set out the active ingredients and labeling indications that are permitted for certain broad categories of over-the-counter drug products. Where the FDA has finalized a particular monograph, it has concluded that a properly labeled product formulation is generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. A tentative final monograph indicates that the FDA has not made a final determination about products in a category to establish safety and efficacy for a product and its uses. However, unless there is a serious safety or efficacy issue, the FDA will typically exercise enforcement discretion and permit companies to sell products conforming to a tentative final monograph until the final monograph is published. Products that comply with either final or tentative final monograph standards do not require pre-market approval from the FDA.
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or "FDC Act," and FDA regulations, the manufacturing processes of our third party manufacturers must also comply with the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practice, or "cGMPs." The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs. A history of past compliance is not a guarantee that future cGMPs will not mandate other compliance steps and associated expense.
If we or our third party manufacturers fail to comply with federal, state or foreign regulations, we could be required to:
Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our financial results.
In addition, our failure to comply with FTC or state regulations, or with regulations in foreign markets that cover our product claims and advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, may result in enforcement actions and imposition of penalties or otherwise materially and adversely affect the distribution and sale of our products.
Furthermore, we also are subject to a variety of other regulations in various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export regulations and antitrust issues. Our failure to comply, or assertions that we fail to comply, with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business in a particular market or in general. To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, government regulations in those countries may prevent or delay entry into or expansion of operations in those markets. In addition, our ability to sustain satisfactory levels of sales in our markets is dependent in significant part on our ability to introduce additional products into the markets. However, government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products.
44
Product liability claims could hurt our business.
We may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products. We have been and may again be subjected to various product liability claims. Claims could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, include inadequate instructions regarding their use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. For example, Denorex products contain coal tar which the State of California has determined causes cancer and our packaging contains a warning to this effect. In addition, any product liability claims may result in negative publicity that may adversely affect our net sales. Also, if one of our products is found to be defective we may be required to recall it, which may result in substantial expense and adverse publicity and adversely affect our net sales. Although we maintain, and require our material suppliers and manufacturers to maintain, product liability insurance coverage, potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or potential product liability claims may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could hurt our financial condition. In addition, we may also become required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles in order to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights our ability to compete could be negatively impacted.
The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademark and trade names. We own the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and sale of our products. Therefore, trademark and trade name protection is critical to our business. Although most of our trademarks are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or trade name protection. We could also incur substantial costs to defend legal actions relating to the use of our intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Other parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights and may thereby dilute our brands in the marketplace. Any such infringement of our intellectual property rights would also likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise. In addition, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert claims against any such intellectual property or that we will be able to successfully resolve all such claims.
We are dependent on third parties for intellectual property relating to some of the products we sell.
We have licenses or manufacturing agreements with third parties that own intellectual property (e.g., formulae, copyrights, trade dress, patents and other technology) used in the manufacture and sale of some of our products. In the event that any such license or manufacturing agreement is terminated, we may lose the right to use or have reduced rights to use the intellectual property covered by such agreement and may have either to develop or to obtain rights to use other intellectual property. In such event, we might not be able to develop or obtain replacement intellectual property in a timely manner and the products modified as a result of this development may not be well-received by customers. The consequences of losing the right to use or having reduced rights to such intellectual property could negatively impact the results of operations through the cost of developing or obtaining different intellectual property and possible reduction in sales of the affected products.
We depend on our key personnel and the loss of the services provided by any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business and results of operations.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management, many of whom would be difficult to replace. These employees may voluntarily terminate
45
their employment with us at any time. We may not be able to successfully retain existing personnel or identify, hire and integrate new personnel. While we believe we have developed depth and experience among our key personnel, there can be no assurance that our business would not be adversely affected if one or more of these key individuals left. We do not maintain any key-man or similar insurance policies covering any of our senior management or key personnel.
In connection with the Medtech Acquisition, Peter C. Mann and Peter J. Anderson became our president and chief executive officer, and chief financial officer, respectively. Although each of these individuals has significant experience in the business of marketing and distributing consumer products, there can be no assurance that this management transition will not adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and several other factors could limit another party's ability to acquire us and deprive our investors of the opportunity to obtain a takeover premium for their securities.
A number of provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws make it difficult for another company to acquire us and for you to receive any related takeover premium for your securities. For example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders generally may not act by written consent or call a special meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval and upon such terms as the board of directors may determine. The rights of the holders of shares of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any class or series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $ million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will use these net proceeds, together with $ million of borrowings under the new credit facility and cash and cash equivalents, which we refer to collectively as the "aggregate cash sources" as follows:
Based on account balances reflected on our March 31, 2004 balance sheet, we expect that such remaining aggregate cash sources would have been approximately $ million. Assuming this offering and all related transactions described in this prospectus had been consummated on March 31, 2004, such aggregate cash sources would have been $ million.
All net proceeds from the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option will be used to purchase additional shares of Class C common stock from our existing equity investors.
All borrowings under the existing credit facility bear interest, at our election, at either the "applicable margin" (as defined in the existing senior credit facility documents) plus the highest of the "base rate" (as defined in the existing senior credit facility documents) and the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, payable quarterly in arrears or the applicable margin plus the current "LIBO Rate" (as defined in the existing senior credit facility documents). The 91/4% notes bear interest at 91/4% per year and are due in 2012.
The table below sets forth our estimate of the sources and uses of funds required to effect the transactions described in this prospectus. The estimated sources and uses are based on an assumed closing date of March 31, 2004.

INITIAL DIVIDEND POLICY AND RESTRICTIONS
Upon the closing of this offering, our board of directors is expected to adopt a dividend policy pursuant to which, in the event and to the extent we have any available cash for distribution to the holders of our common stock as of the last day of December, March, June and September of each year, or the business day immediately preceding such day, subject to applicable law, as described below, and the terms of the new credit facility, the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes and any other then outstanding indebtedness of ours, our board of directors will declare cash dividends on our common stock. The initial dividend rate is expected to be equal to $ per share of Class A common stock per annum, subject to adjustment. We will pay those dividends on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Any time a dividend is paid to holders of Class A common stock, holders of Class B common stock and Class C common stock will also be paid a dividend, subject to specified conditions.
The expected initial dividend rate on the Class B common stock is expected to be $ per share per annum. The dividend rate will be adjusted so that, if any dividends are paid on Class A common stock, dividends will be paid on our Class B common stock at a rate per share equal to $ plus the rate per share of dividends paid on our Class A common stock. Dividends on our Class B common stock will not be paid at a rate in excess of $ per share above the dividend rate per annum paid on our Class A common stock. The expected initial dividend rate on the Class C common stock is expected to be $ per share per annum. The dividend rate will be adjusted so that, if any dividends are paid on Class A common stock, dividends will be paid on our Class C common stock at a rate per share equal to $ plus the rate per share of dividends paid on our Class A common stock. Dividends on our Class C common stock will not be paid at a rate in excess of $ per share above the dividend rate per annum paid on our Class A common stock.
Upon the closing of the offering no shares of our Class D common stock will be outstanding and we do not anticipate that we will issue shares of Class D common stock or declare dividends thereon in the near future.
If we have any remaining cash after the payment of dividends as contemplated above, our board of directors will, in its sole discretion, decide to use that cash to fund capital expenditures or acquisitions, repay indebtedness, pay additional dividends or for general corporate purposes.
The indenture governing our senior subordinated notes restricts our ability to declare and pay dividends on our capital stock as follows:
49
See "Description of NotesCertain CovenantsLimitation on Restricted Payments" for a complete description of these restrictions.
Our board of directors may, in its discretion, amend or repeal this dividend policy. Our board of directors may decrease the level of dividends provided for in this dividend policy or discontinue entirely the payment of dividends.
Future dividends with respect to shares of our capital stock, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Under Delaware law, our board of directors may declare dividends only to the extent of our "surplus" (which is defined as total assets at fair market value minus total liabilities, minus statutory capital), or if there is no surplus, out of our net profits for the then current and/or immediately preceding fiscal years.
We have not paid dividends in the past.
50
The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of March 31, 2004 on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Prestige Acquisition and on a pro forma, as adjusted basis as if the Transactions had occurred on that date. For purposes of this presentation, we have assumed that all of the 91/4% notes are purchased or redeemed for aggregate consideration of $ million.
You should read this table in conjunction with the "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data" included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Dilution is the amount by which the portion of the offering price paid by the purchasers of the IDSs to be sold in the offering that is allocated to our shares of Class A common stock represented by the IDSs exceeds the net tangible book value or deficiency per share of our Class A common stock after the offering. Net tangible book value or deficiency per share of our Class A common stock is determined at any date by subtracting our total liabilities from our total assets less our intangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of Class A common stock deemed to be outstanding at that date. For purposes of this section, references to "common stock" after the offering includes the shares of Class A common stock to be issued as part of the IDSs and the shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock to be held by our existing equity investors.
Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2004 was approximately $ million. After giving effect to our receipt and intended use of approximately $ million of estimated net proceeds (after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses) from our sale of IDSs and separate senior subordinated notes in this offering, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per IDS (the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) and % of the stated principal amount of the senior subordinated notes being sold separately, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2004 would have been approximately $ million, or $ per share of Class A common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share of our Class A common stock to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share of our Class A common stock to new investors purchasing IDSs in this offering.
The following table illustrates this substantial and immediate dilution to new investors:

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
Prestige Holdings is a holding company and has no direct operations. Prestige Holdings was formed for the purpose of reorganizing our corporate structure and consummating this offering. Prestige Holdings' principal assets will be the direct and indirect equity interests of its subsidiaries. As a result, we have not provided separate historical financial results for Prestige Holdings and present only the historical consolidated results of Prestige Brands International, LLC. The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma combined financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 gives effect to:
as if each had occurred on that date.
Prestige International LLC's historical balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 already reflects the Medtech Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 has been prepared to illustrate the effects of:
as if each had occurred on April 1, 2003.
Prestige International and Spic and Span historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year; for purposes of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 data presented herein, a historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses.
The unaudited pro forma financial data and accompanying notes are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the Acquisitions and Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated above, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or financial position.
54
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined financial data are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable and exclude certain non-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the Acquisitions and recognized in the 12 months following: (1) amortization of estimated inventory fair value step-up of $7.2 million expected to impact fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 cost of sales; (2) the estimated costs of $2.6 million related to the integration of Medtech, Spic and Span and Prestige International; (3) the write-off of deferred financing charges of $21.9 million; and (4) the write-off of the discount of the Medtech mezzanine facility of $4.8 million.
The following information is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the combined financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The selected financial data after such date includes the financial statement impact of recording fair value adjustments arising from such acquisition. The income statement and other financial data of Prestige International and its Predecessor for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004 and the balance sheet data at March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 are derived from audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The income statement and other financial data for the Predecessor for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 are derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included in this prospectus.
The selected historical financial data set forth below is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations and should be read in conjunction with the discussion under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the historical combined consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of Medtech's and Prestige International's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the "Selected Financial Data," "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data" and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Future results could differ materially from the discussion below for many reasons, including the factors described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Tables and other data in this section may not total due to rounding.
General
Overview. We are a leading branded consumer products company with a diversified portfolio of well-recognized brands in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. Our products are sold by mass merchandisers, and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, which accounted for approximately 83.3% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. Our principal customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Albertson's.
Medtech was formed in 1996 as a joint venture of Medtech Labs, a company that focused on over-the-counter drug brands, and The Shansby Group, a private equity firm, to acquire brands from American Home Products, including Compound W, Oxipor VHC®, Zincon®, Kerodex®, Freezone®, Outgro®, Momentum®, APF®, Heet®, Sleepeze® and Dermoplast. Medtech also acquired Percogesic from The Procter & Gamble Company in 1996. In 1998, Medtech acquired Cutex and, in 2002, The Shansby Group acquired Denorex. Since June 2001, Peter Mann and his management team have successfully managed the Medtech, Denorex and Spic and Span businesses and have been responsible for integrating numerous brands into the portfolio.
Prestige International was established in October 1999 to acquire leading brands being divested by major consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. Since that date, Prestige International has acquired Comet® (2001), Chloraseptic® (2000), and Prell® (1999) from Procter & Gamble. In December 2002, Prestige International purchased Clear eyes® and Murine® from Abbott Laboratories.
Since completing the Acquisitions, we conduct our operations through three principal business segments: Over-the-Counter Drug, Household Cleaning and Personal Care. The following table identifies and sets forth certain historical gross sales information with respect to the major brands within each of our segments:

Acquisition-Related Synergies. We have implemented a number of transaction-related cost reductions that are expected to result in a positive annualized effect on our operating results when compared to recent operating history of Medtech, Denorex, Spic and Span and Prestige International as separate companies. We believe these expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of such cost reduction measures. These adjustments are reflected in note 3 to "Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data." These cost savings include those items set forth in the table below. However, we cannot assure you that expected cost savings will be realized on time or at all. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessWe may not realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Acquisitions, which may adversely affect our financial performance." Also, the anticipated cost savings shown in the table below are given effect as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003 and have not been adjusted to reflect additional expenses that we expect also to incur in future periods, including interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other expenses, and $2.6 million of estimated integration costs. In addition, while we believe the following estimated expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of these cost saving measures, there can be no assurance that we will not incur other expenses similar to the expenses set forth below in future periods.

Purchase Accounting Effects. The acquisitions of Medtech, Spic and Span and Prestige International were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." As a result, these acquisitions will affect our future results of operations in certain significant respects. The aggregate acquisition consideration will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us based upon their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. For more information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Reorganization and Offering
Prior to and in connection with the completion of this offering, we will reorganize our corporate structure. Our existing equity investors will contribute all of their equity interests in our predecessor to us in exchange for shares of our senior preferred stock, shares of our Class B preferred stock, shares of our Class B common stock and shares of our Class C common stock. In connection with this reorganization, we will also liquidate or combine a number of our subsidiaries in order to simplify our organizational structure. Upon completion of this reorganization, we will be the ultimate parent company of The Denorex Company, Prestige Brands, Inc., Prestige Household Brands, Inc. and each of their respective consolidated subsidiaries. In addition, concurrently with the completion of this offering, Prestige Brands will enter into the new credit facility.
We will use the net proceeds of this offering together with the $ million net proceeds from the new credit facility and cash on hand to:
If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, we will use the additional net proceeds to repurchase additional shares of our Class C common stock issued to our existing equity investors in the reorganization.
For ease of reference, we use the term "Transactions" to collectively refer to this offering, the reorganization, Prestige Brands' entering into the new credit facility, the repayment in full of the Prestige Brands' existing credit facility, the purchase or redemption of the 91/4% notes, the purchase of all of our senior preferred stock, all of our Class B preferred stock and shares of our Class C common stock.
After completion of the Transactions, our existing equity investors will own shares of our Class B common stock and shares of our Class C common stock, representing % of the voting power of our capital stock.
Impact of Our Reorganization and this Offering on Our Results of Operations and Liquidity
Results of Operations. We will be required to record a substantial number of one-time expenses related to our reorganization and this offering, including the following:
69
We will incur higher expenses as a public company after the consummation of this offering. These expenses will include additional accounting and finance expenses, audit fees, legal fees and increased premiums for director and officer liability insurance coverage. We estimate that these additional expenses will be approximately $0.5 million annually.
We intend to implement an additional incentive plan for management that will be designed to align the interests of management with those of the IDS holders. The provisions of this plan will likely require us to record additional compensation expense.
Liquidity. We expect that upon the closing of this offering our board of directors will adopt a dividend policy which contemplates that, subject to applicable law and terms of our then existing indebtedness, initial annual dividends will be approximately $ per share of our Class A common stock per annum, $ per share of our Class B common stock per annum and $ per share of our Class C common stock per annum. We expect the aggregate annual impact of this dividend policy to be $ . The cash requirements of the expected dividend policy are in addition to our indebtedness and related debt service requirements discussed above in Results of Operations. We expect that the cash requirements discussed here and above in Results of Operations will be funded through cash flow generated from the operations of our business. We will also have access to the new revolving credit facility of $ million to supplement our liquidity position as needed.
Although we believe that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes in accordance with the opinion of our tax counsel, this conclusion cannot be assured. If all or a portion of the senior subordinated notes were treated as equity rather than debt for United States federal income tax purposes, then a corresponding portion of the interest on the senior subordinated notes would not be deductible by us for United States federal income tax purposes. In addition we would be subject to liability for United States withholding taxes on interest payments to non-United States holders if such payments were determined to be dividends. Our inability to deduct interest on the senior subordinated notes could materially increase our taxable income and, thus, our United States federal and applicable state income tax liability. Our liability for income taxes (and withholding taxes) if the senior subordinated notes were determined to be equity for income tax purposes would materially reduce our after-tax cash flow and would materially and adversely impact our ability to make interest and/or dividend payments.

The period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 (the predecessor period) and the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 (the successor period) compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.
The information presented above for net sales, gross profit and contribution margin for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 is derived from comparing (1) the historical financial statements of the predecessor company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to (2) the sum of the historical financial statements of the predecessor company for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 plus the results of the Company for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004.
Net Sales. Net sales increased by $11.5 million, or 15.0%, from $76.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $87.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net sales included a $12.3 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and the $2.1 million impact of Spic and Span (Household Cleaning Category) from the date of acquisition (March 5, 2004), partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in the Personal Care Category.
71
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Net sales increased by $12.3 million, or 28.5%, from $43.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $55.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net sales was primarily due to new products introduced during the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. New products, led by Compound W Freeze Off, contributed $10.6 million of the increase. The remainder of the increase was driven by increased domestic sales of: (i) Compound W of $0.7 million, or 5.2%, from $13.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $14.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to increasing market share; and (ii) New Skin of $0.8 million, or 9.2%, from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to continued category expansion driven by the high levels of advertising by Johnson & Johnson in support of their liquid bandage product. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Dermoplast sales of $0.6 million, or 6.9%, from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was due to lower demand in the beginning of fiscal 2004 for the hospital product following a very strong March 2003 due to wholesale accounts purchasing heavily in advance of a price increase.
Personal Care Category. Net sales decreased by $2.9 million, or 8.9%, from $32.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $29.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to Denorex, which experienced a sales decline of $2.7 million, or 17.4%, from $15.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $12.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The sales decline resulted from a decrease in market share.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $2.6 million, or 5.5%, from $49.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $51.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit included a $4.3 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and a $0.9 million increase due to the inclusion of Spic and Span within the new Household Cleaning Category effective March 5, 2004, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the Personal Care Category. Included in the cost of goods sold for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 was a $1.8 million charge related to the step-up of inventory at the time of the acquisition of the business by GTCR.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Gross profit increased by $4.3 million, or 14%, from $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $34.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the sales increase partially offset by the increased cost of goods related to the inventory step-up at the time of the acquisition. Excluding the acquisition related expenses of $1.2 million, gross profit as a percent of net sales declined from 70.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to 64.8% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The percentage decline is due to the very strong sales of Compound W Freeze Off, which has a higher cost of goods as a percent of sales than the other products in the category.
Personal Care Category. Gross profit decreased by $2.5 million, or 13.8%, from $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $15.5 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. Excluding the acquisition related expense of $0.6 million, gross profit as a percent of sales decreased slightly, from 54.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to 53.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decline is due to product mix as the Denorex line has a higher gross profit margin than the rest of the products in the Personal Care line.
Contribution Margin. Contribution margin increased by $2.7 million, or 7.7%, from $34.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $37.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The net increase in contribution margin included a $4.4 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and $0.7 million of contribution margin related to Spic and Span (Household Cleaning Category), partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in the Personal Care Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Contribution margin increased by $4.4 million, or 18.8%, from $23.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $27.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the gross profit increase discussed above.
72
Personal Care Category. Contribution margin decreased by $2.4 million, or 21.2%, from $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $8.7 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in contribution margin was due to the gross profit decrease discussed above.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $12.1 million (15.9% of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $9.4 million (13.7% of net sales) for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $1.6 million (8.8% of net sales) for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The overall decrease in gross general and administrative expenses in dollar terms and as a percentage of sales each period is due primarily to the Company's ability to add Spic and Span with virtually no general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.3 million (6.9% of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $4.5 million (6.5% of net sales) for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $0.9 million (5.0% of net sales) for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due primarily to amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net was $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $8.2 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $1.7 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The overall increase in interest expense, net, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 is due primarily to the increase in net indebtedness due to the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span acquisitions.
Other Expense (Income). Other expense was $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The other expense in fiscal year 2003 was comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt. Other expense was $0 for the year ended March 31, 2004.
Income Taxes. The tax provision for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 was $1.7 million with an effective rate of 41.3%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to changes in the valuation allowance, state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit) and the amortization of intangible assets. The tax provision for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 was $1.1 million with an effective rate of 37.1%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit).
Fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 compared to fiscal year ended March 31, 2002
Net Sales. Net sales increased by $30.2 million, or 65.4%, from $46.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $76.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales included a $12.2 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $18.2 million increase in the Personal Care Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Net sales increased by $12.2 million, or 39.2%, from $31.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 to $43.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales primarily relates to the impact of new products and management focus on the base business. Due to product enhancements such as Compound W One-Step pads and water proof pads combined with higher impact packaging and increased media and consumer promotion support, net sales for Compound W grew 29.2% from $11.5 million in fiscal year 2002 to $14.9 million in fiscal year 2003. New-Skin net sales more than doubled from $3.9 million in fiscal year 2002 to $9.2 million in fiscal year 2003. This increase was the result of increased levels of television advertising from previous years and heightened category awareness due to the introduction of Johnson & Johnson's Liquid Bandage. Dermoplast net sales increased 53.2% from $5.7 million in fiscal year 2002 to $8.7 million in fiscal year 2003. Of this increase $1.2 million resulted from a 5% price increase which was implemented for the hospital channel effective April 1, 2003. The anticipated price increase resulted in increased
73
sales in March 2003. The remaining $1.8 million increase in Dermoplast net sales resulted from increased distribution at retail.
Personal Care Category. Net sales increased by $18.2 million, or 125.0%, from $14.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $32.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales primarily relates to the acquisition of the Denorex brand in February 2002. Due to the timing of the acquisition, less than two months of sales activity was included in the fiscal year 2002 operating results, compared to a full year in 2003. Net sales attributable to Denorex increased $13.6 million, from $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $15.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The remaining net sales increase is due to moderate organic growth within all brands, primarily Cutex.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $21.5 million, or 78.0%, from $27.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $49.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit included a $9.0 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $12.6 million increase in the Personal Care Category. Gross margin increased from 59.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to 64.1% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This is due in part to the increase in sales for the Over-the-Counter Drug Category that has a higher gross margin.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Gross profit increased by $9.0 million, or 41.7%, from $21.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due to the significant net sales increase, as well as an improvement in gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin increased from 69.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to 70.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to favorable product mix as New-Skin has the highest profit margin of all products in the segment.
Personal Care Category. Gross profit increased by $12.6 million, or 236.1%, from $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due to the acquisition of the Denorex brand in February 2002. Denorex generated incremental gross profit of $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The remaining gross profit increase is due to an increase in Cutex sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit improved from 36.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 54.7% in fiscal year 2003. The improvement is due to favorable product mix in fiscal year 2003, primarily resulting from the acquisition of Denorex.
Contribution Margin. Contribution margin increased by $12.4 million, or 55.8%, from $22.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $34.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The net increase in contribution margin profit included a $5.9 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $6.7 million increase in the Personal Care Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Contribution margin increased by $5.9 million, or 34.3%, from $17.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $23.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in contribution margin was due to the improved gross profit discussed above, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in A&P expenses. The increased A&P expenses are due to higher levels of television advertising, primarily related to the Compound W and New-Skin brands, as well as increased levels of consumer promotion across all brands. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin decreased from 55.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 53.7% in fiscal year 2003.
Personal Care Category. Contribution margin increased by $6.7 million, or 149.8%, from $4.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in contribution margin is primarily due to the Denorex acquisition, which generated incremental contribution margin of $6.2 million in fiscal year 2003, as well as the reduced level of product returns at Cutex. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin increased from 30.4% in fiscal year 2002 to 33.8% in fiscal year 2003, which is due to favorable product mix, partially offset by increased A&P expenses associated with Denorex.
74
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 40.8%, from $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $12.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a full year of Denorex activity during 2003 compared to approximately two months in 2002.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.3 million, or 32.1%, from $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase relates to the acquisition of Denorex.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense increased by $0.9 million, or 11.2% from $8.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 21, 2002 to $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due to inclusion of a full year of Denorex debt interest expense, as compared to approximately two months in 2002.
Other Expense (Income), net. Other expenses of $0.7 million during fiscal year 2003 were comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt.
Income Taxes. The tax provision for fiscal year 2003 was $3.9 million with an effective tax rate of 56.5%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to changes in the valuation allowance, the federal benefit of deductible state taxes, a change in the effective state tax rate and the amortization of intangible assets. The tax provision for fiscal year 2002 was $0.3 million with an effective tax rate of 33.2%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% relates primarily to the change in the effective state tax rate and the impact of placing a valuation allowance on the usage of the Denorex net operating loss carryforward.
Discontinued Operations. Results of discontinued operations was a loss of $5.6 million (net of tax) in fiscal year 2003 compared to a loss of less than $0.1 million (net of tax) in fiscal year 2002. The loss in fiscal year 2003 was attributed to loss from the discontinued Pecos Pharmaceutical, Inc. reporting unit of $3.4 million (net of tax) coupled with a loss on disposal of Pecos Pharmaceutical, Inc. of $2.2 million (net of tax).

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003
Net Sales. Net sales declined by $0.9 million, or 2.5%, from $36.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net sales included decreases of $0.5 million in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, $0.3 million in the Personal Care Category and $0.1 million in the Household Cleaning Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Net sales decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.8%, from $17.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to Chloraseptic, which experienced a sales decline of $0.7 million, or 11.9%, from $5.8 million to $5.1 million. The decline in sales was attributable to the abrupt end of the cold and flu season in December 2003, resulting in declines for the sore throat category in the January to March 2004 period.
Partially offsetting the Chloraseptic decline was an increase in sales for the Clear Eyes and Murine brands. Sales increased by $0.2 million, or 1.7%, from $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Personal Care Category. Net sales declined by $0.3 million, or 15.6%, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of the discontinuation of the Prell Spa product line in late 2002.
Household Cleaning Category. Net sales decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from $16.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, due to an increase in allowances and coupon expenses related to new product introductions, partially offset by an increase in gross sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.9%, from $16.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The net decrease in
76
gross profit included an increase of $1.6 million in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and an increase of $0.1 million in the Personal Care Category, offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in the Household Cleaning Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Gross profit increased by $1.6 million, or 16.8%, from $9.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the increased costs of goods related to Clear Eyes and Murine in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 attributable to an inventory write up of $1.8 million at the time of the acquisition from Abbott in December of 2002. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was 66.4%. Excluding the $1.8 million of Clear Eyes and Murine inventory write up, the gross profit as a percent to sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was 65.6%. The improvement in the current quarter is due to product mix, as Clear Eyes/Murine generates a higher gross profit margin than Chloraseptic.
Personal Care Category. Gross profit increased by $0.1 million, or 14.9%, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 despite the sales decrease. The increase in gross profit resulted from the lack of close-out sales in 2004. Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 included a significant amount of the discontinued Prell Spa Shampoo and Conditioner which were sold at low margins.
Household Cleaning Category. Gross profit decreased by $2.2 million, or 34.5%, from $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in couponing and trade promotion expenses discussed in net sales and an increase in the reserve for obsolescence of $1.2 million over the reserve at the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Contribution Margin. Contribution margin decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.9%, from $12.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The net decrease in contribution margin included a $2.7 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and a $0.2 million increase in the Personal Care Category, offset by a $4.0 million decrease in the Household Cleaning Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Contribution margin increased by $2.7 million, or 42.5%, from $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution is attributed to the $1.6 million increase in gross profit plus a decrease in Chloraseptic advertising of $0.9 million from $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Personal Care Category. Contribution margin increased by $0.2 million, or 58.2%, from $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the gross margin increase plus a reduction of $0.1 million in consumer promotion due to a change in advertising programs.
Household Cleaning Category. Contribution margin decreased by $4.0 million, or 70.7%, from $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in margin was due to the gross profit decline of $2.2 million and an increase in advertising and coupon placement expenses of $1.8 million from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in advertising in 2004 was in support of the new products launched in the fall of 2003.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 20%, from $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the discontinuation of the Clear Eyes and Murine transition services agreement during the latter part of 2003. The transition services expense decreased from $0.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
77

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 23.5%, from $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was due to a reduction in depreciation expenses.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased by $0.6 million, or 14.6%, from $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in interest expense is a function of the outstanding debt, which decreased as a result of using excess cash flow to pay down debt since the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Income Taxes. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1.9 million with an effective rate of 38.9%.

The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $1.8 million with an effective rate of 36.3%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes (net of federal tax benefit).
Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to year ended December 31, 2002
Net Sales. Net sales increased by $56.5 million, or 51.1%, from $110.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $167.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Net sales increased by $56.5 million, or 210.5%, from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $83.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine, which was effective December 30, 2002 and contributed $47.8 million of net sales to the year ended December 31, 2003. New product introductions, which increased market share and a strong cold and flu season attributed to an increase in Chloraseptic net sales of $8.7 million, or 32.6% from 2002 to 2003. The introduction of Relief Strips and the Pocket Pump contributed $3.7 million and $1.2 million to net sales, respectively.
Personal Care Category. Net sales declined by $1.8 million, or 20.7% from $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of the 2002 discontinuation of the Prell Spa product line.
Household Cleaning Category. Net sales increased by $1.8 million, or 2.4%, from $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $77.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily the result of the introduction of Comet Clean and Flush in October 2003 representing $2.8 million of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003. Prestige International also introduced the Comet Orange Brite Bathroom Spray and Orange Oxygenated Soft Powder in 2003, which generated $0.7 million of net sales in the year ended December 31, 2003. The increases related to new products were partially offset by a decline in overall industry net sales for Comet's core category.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $32.3 million, or 62.0%, from $52.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $84.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The increase in gross profit was due, in part, to inclusion of a full fiscal year of Clear eyes and Murine sales in 2003. New product introductions contributed $2.4 million to 2003 gross profit with
78
Relief Strips and Pocket Pump contributing $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Increased gross profit of Chloraseptic contributed $3.2 million. Overall gross margin declined from 64.0% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 61.5% for 2003. This decline was due to lower margins on Chloraseptic as a result of higher than normal product liquidations, which generated lower margins as well as higher costs associated with the new Chloraseptic products.
Personal Care Category. Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million, or 4.8%, from $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

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

A&P expenses increased $7.1 million, or 144.9%, from $4.9 million to $12.0 million, which was attributable to $6.3 million for Clear eyes and Murine as well as $0.8 million for Chloraseptic. Overall contribution margin as a percentage of net sales increased from 45.7% to 47.1% for the year ended December 31, 2002 versus 2003. This increase was the result of adding the Clear eyes and Murine product line.
Personal Care Category. Contribution margin increased by $0.5 million, or 51.1%, from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The decrease in contribution margin was primarily due to an increase in A&P expenses of $2.9 million, or 84.6%, from $3.4 million to $6.3 million. Comet Clean and Flush product development and marketing costs totaling $1.2 million as well as a mid-year advertising campaign for Comet Spray contributed to the higher A&P expenses. Overall contribution margin as a percentage of net sales declined from 38.2% to 31.5% for these reasons.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 75.2%, from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily the result of the Clear eyes and Murine acquisition.

The tax provision for fiscal year 2002 was $11.1 million with an effective tax rate of 40.1%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $23.6 million, or 83.0%, from $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $52.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The net increase in gross profit included a $0.2 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.8 million decrease in the Personal Care Category and a $24.2 million increase in the Household Cleaning Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Gross profit increased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, from $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit was due to a slight cost reduction in 2002, which resulted in a gross margin increase from 62.4% to 64.0%.
Personal Care Category. Gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 21.5%, from $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, declined from 37.8% in 2001 to 32.6% in 2002. The decline in gross margin was due to the discontinuation of the Prell Spa line and the liquidation of excess inventory.
Household Cleaning Category. Gross profit increased by $24.2 million, or 303.3%, from $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of a full year of Comet sales in 2002 compared to three months in 2001. Gross margin decreased slightly from 43.2% for the period ended December 31, 2001 to 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Contribution Margin. Contribution margin increased by $20.9 million, or 99.4%, from $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The net increase in gross profit was comprised of a $0.6 million decrease in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.5 million increase in the Personal Care Category and a $21.1 million increase in the Household Cleaning Category.
Over-the-Counter Drug Category. Contribution margin decreased by $0.6 million, or 5.2%, from $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decline in contribution margin was due to an increase in A&P expenses of $0.8 million, or
80
20.5%, from $4.1 million in 2001 to $4.9 million in 2002, which was due to increased spending for TV media and promotion. The remaining fluctuation in contribution margin was the result of factors previously discussed.
Personal Care Category. Contribution margin increased by $0.5 million, or 108.8%, from $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in contribution margin was due, in part, to a decline in A&P expenses of $1.3 million, or 40.0%, from $3.1 million in 2001 to $1.8 million in 2002, which was due to the elimination of the Prell Spa line A&P spending.
Household Cleaning Category. Contribution margin increased by $21.1 million, or 274.9%, from $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in A&P expenses related to a full year of expenses related to Comet as the seller funded Comet's A&P commitment for the three months that would have been included in 2001.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million, or 34.3%, from $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily due to the full year impact of the Comet acquisition in October 2001.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $3.4 million, or 82.1%, from $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decline was the result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the discontinuation of the amortization of goodwill.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased by $1.8 million, or 29.2%, from $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in interest expense is a function of the outstanding debt, which increased as a result of the Comet acquisition.
Other Expense (Income), net. Other expense of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 relates to loss on the extinguishment of debt.
Income Taxes. The tax provision for fiscal 2002 was $11.1 million with an effective tax rate of 40.1%. The tax provision for fiscal 2001 was $1.9 million with an effective tax rate of 37.8%. The difference in both instances between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes, net of the federal benefit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations with a combination of internally generated funds and borrowings. Our principal uses of cash are for operating expenses, servicing long-term debt, acquisitions, working capital, payment of income taxes and capital expenditures.
Medtech
Operating Activities
Period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 compared to the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $7.8 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $(1.7) million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 were primarily the result of net income of $2.4 million adjusted for non cash items of $7.9 million, partially offset by net changes in working capital of ($2.5) million. The $2.5 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to a
81
$3.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due primarily to reductions in the reserve for Pecos Pharmaceutical, Inc. returns, an increase of $2.3 million in inventory due primarily to new product launches and a decrease of $3.1 million in accounts receivable. The cash flows used in operating activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 were primarily the result of changes in working capital of ($5.3) million partially offset by net income of $1.8 million adjusted for non-cash items of $1.8 million. The $5.3 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.0 million, a $3.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the payment of $2.7 million of bonuses to management in connection with the acquisition of Medtech and a $1.1 million decrease in inventory.
Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, compared to $3.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year 2003 were primarily the result of a net loss of $14.4 million adjusted for non-cash items of $21.7 million, coupled with net changes in working capital of $5.2 million. The $5.2 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to a $3.9 million decrease in inventory due to better supply chain management and a $2.6 million increase in accrued expenses. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2002 were primarily the result of $0.6 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $6.7 million. The remaining net decrease of $3.3 million is due to an increase in inventory of $2.8 which is attributed to the acquisition of Denorex in February 2002.
Investing Activities
Period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 compared to the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.6 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $166.9 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. Net cash used in investing activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 is primarily the result of expenditures of $0.5 million related to payments for an option to purchase the rights to certain Medtech products. Net cash used in investing activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 is the result of the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span during the period partially offset by the release of $0.7 million of previously restricted cash related to the Pecos Pharmaceutical, Inc. divestiture in March 2003.
Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002. Net cash used in investing activities of Medtech was $2.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, compared to net cash used of $4.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2003 is primarily the result of restricted cash ($0.7 million) related to the Pecos divestiture in March 2003, capital expenditures of $0.4 million, expenditures of $0.2 million for an option to purchase the rights to certain Medtech products and expenditures of $0.8 million related to direct acquisition costs of Denorex. Net cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 is the result of property and equipment purchases ($0.1 million), intangible purchases ($0.2 million) and costs related to Denorex ($4.1 million).
Financing Activities
Period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 compared to the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($8.6) million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $172.0 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. Net cash used in financing activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 is primarily the result of a net paydown of Medtech's senior bank facilities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of capital contributions received of $100.4 million and a net
82
increase in indebtedness of $74.6 million directly as a result of the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span.
Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2003 was $(14.7) million compared to $5.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Cash flows used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003 were attributed to scheduled pay down of the Medtech's senior bank facilities. The cash flows provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2002 were attributed to a $13.0 million stock issuance in connection with the Denorex acquisition in February 2002 partially offset by scheduled payments on outstanding debt.
Prestige International
Operating Activities
Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were primarily the result of net income of $3.0 million adjusted for non cash items of $3.2 million and net changes in working capital of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to a decrease in accounts receivable of $8.5 million offset by increases in inventory, prepaid expenses and decreases in accrued expenses. The decrease in accounts receivable is attributable to stricter credit terms and lower sales. The cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were primarily the result of net income of $3.1 million adjusted for non cash items of $3.2 million and a net change in working capital of $2.1 million. The $2.1 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to an increase in accrued expenses and a decrease in inventories offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities of Prestige International was $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year 2003 were primarily the result of net income of $22.3 million adjusted for non-cash items of $12.1 million, coupled with net changes in working capital of $0.6 million. The $0.6 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to a $7.5 million increase in accounts receivable primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands. Offsetting the increase in receivables are decreases in inventory of $1.8 million and increases in accrued expenses of $2.1 million. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2002 were primarily the result of $16.6 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $6.1 million. The remaining net decrease of $0.7 million is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable ($5.5 million) and inventory ($3.6 million) offset by increases in accounts payable ($6.6 million) resulting from the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands.
Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities of Prestige International was $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2002 were the result of the factors described above. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2001 were primarily the result of $3.1 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $7.6 million. The remaining net decrease of $0.8 million is due to increases in accounts receivable ($1.5 million) and inventory ($2.1 million) offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.0 million resulting from the acquisition of the Comet brand from Procter & Gamble on October 2, 2001.

Investing Activities
Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of capital expenditures of $0.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is the result of capital expenditures of $0.1 million and the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands of $0.1 million.
Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002. Net cash used in investing activities of Prestige was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to net cash used of $110.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of the 2002 acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands.
Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001. Net cash used in investing activities of Prestige was $110.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to net cash used of $144.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of cash used for the 2002 acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine brands as compared to the 2001 acquisition of the Comet brand.
Financing Activities
Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in financing activities was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of payments on long-term debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is primarily the result of the repurchase and retirement of common stock for $13.3 million offset by net borrowings of $6.4 million.
Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $(34.4) million, compared to cash provided of $95.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cash flows used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003 were primarily attributable to a net pay down of the Prestige's senior bank facilities ($20.6 million) and repurchases of common stock ($13.3 million). The cash flows provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2002 were primarily attributable to debt and equity issuances associated with the 2002 Clear eyes and Murine brand acquisition.
Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $95.6 million, compared to $134.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were the result of the factors described above. This cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2001 is primarily attributable to debt and equity issuances associated with the October 2001 Comet brand acquisition.
Tax Attributes
We have significant tax attributes in the form of amortizable intangibles (with varying remaining lives of between 7 and 15 years), related to the structuring of certain of our brand acquisitions, and net operating loss carry-forwards (NOLs), subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These tax
84
attributes may be used to offset future taxable income. The individual companies had the following tax attributes:

Pro Forma Capital Resources After the Transactions
Existing Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the Prestige Acquisition, we entered into a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $50.0 million, of which $3.5 million was outstanding upon consummation of the Prestige Acquisition. The revolving credit facility is secured by first priority pledges of all of the equity interests owned by Prestige Brands and the guarantors in their respective domestic subsidiaries and 65% of all equity interests in their foreign subsidiaries, if any. The revolving credit facility is also secured by first priority interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of Prestige Brands and the guarantors. The revolving credit facility is available until March 2009.
The indenture governing the 91/4% notes and the revolving credit facility, among other things, (a) restrict the ability of Prestige Brands and the guarantors of the notes to incur additional indebtedness, issue shares of preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (b) prohibit certain restrictions on the ability of certain of Prestige Brand's subsidiaries, including certain of the guarantors of the notes, to pay dividends or make certain payments to Prestige Brands and (c) places restrictions on the ability of Prestige Brands and its subsidiaries, including certain of the guarantors of the notes, to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of Prestige Brands. The indenture related to these notes and the revolving credit facility also contain various covenants which limit our discretion in the operation of our businesses.
We intend to repay and replace the existing credit facility and purchase or redeem the 91/4% notes in connection with this offering.
New Senior Credit Facility. We expect that the new credit facility will be comprised of a senior secured revolving credit facility in a total principal amount of up to $ million, which we refer to as the "new revolver," and a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $ million, which we refer to as the "new term loan." We expect that the new revolver will have a -year maturity and the new term loan will have a -year maturity. We expect to use borrowings under the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, payment of dividends and letters of credit.
We expect that the new credit facility will require that we meet certain financial tests including, without limitation, a maximum senior and total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. We also expect that our new credit facility will contain customary covenants and restrictions including, among others, limitations or prohibitions on capital expenditures and acquisitions, declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing our other indebtedness, loans and investments, additional indebtedness, liens, guarantees, recapitalizations, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates.
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes offered hereby will contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of the guarantors of the notes to incur additional
85
indebtedness, issue shares of preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and place restrictions on our ability and the subsidiary guarantors ability to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets.
Our principal sources of funds following the Transactions are anticipated to be cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under the new credit facility. We believe that these funds will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our current and future financial obligations, as well as to provide funds for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for at least the next 12 months. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when required or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to us.
Pro Forma Commitments
On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Prestige Acquisition and the Transactions, we had ongoing commitments under various contractual and commercial obligations as of March 31, 2004, as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.
Inflation
Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations for the periods referred to above, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation in the future would not have an adverse effect on us and our operating results.
Pro Forma Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Prestige Acquisition and the Transactions, we estimate that we would have had approximately $ million outstanding under the new revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility is subject to a variable interest rate. Accordingly, our earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the pro forma level of borrowings of $ million at variable rates and assuming a percentage point increase in the average interest rate of these borrowings, we estimate that our interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2004 would have increased by approximately $ million.

Critical Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies are described in the notes of each of the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. All companies presented herein utilize the same critical accounting policies, except as otherwise stated. While all significant accounting policies are important to our consolidated financial statements, some of these policies may be viewed as being critical. Such policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based upon our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most critical accounting policies are as follows:
Accounts Receivable. Non-interest bearing trade credit is extended to customers in the ordinary course of business. We record accounts receivable at the invoice price and provide for estimated discounts, returns and allowances at the time of sale. Uncollectible accounts are charged against the allowance in the period management determines that they are uncollectible.
Inventories. Inventories, primarily comprised of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. Shipping and handling expenses are recognized as a component of cost of sales.
Goodwill. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142") became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2001. Through March 31, 2002 for Medtech and Denorex and January 1, 2002 for Prestige and Spic and Span, goodwill, the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition, was amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years (Medtech), 20 years (Prestige), and 30 years (Spic and Span). Effective upon adoption of SFAS 142 we ceased amortization of goodwill. The provisions of SFAS 142 also required us to discontinue the amortization of the cost of intangible assets with indefinite lives and perform certain fair-value-based tests of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets upon adoption and thereafter at least annually.
Revenue Recognition. Revenues are recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer discounts, returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical experience. Revenue is recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes and Murine brands under transition service agreements with the prior owner and prior to satisfaction of regulatory requirements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as Prestige was not the primary obligor under this arrangement.
Advertising. The cost of advertising is expensed in the fiscal year in which the related advertising takes place. Production and communication costs are expensed in the period in which the related advertising begins running.
Derivative Instruments. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") became effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 was adopted by Medtech on April 1, 2001 and by Prestige International and Spic and Span on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a
87
company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
Certain derivative financial instruments are designated as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) in our financial statements. For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately
Income Taxes. We intend to account for our issuance of the IDSs in this offering as representing an issuance of separate securities, shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes and to allocate the proceeds received for each IDS unit between the Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes in proportion to their respective fair market values at the time of issuance. Accordingly, we will account for the senior subordinated notes represented by the IDSs as long-term debt bearing a stated interest rate of % maturing on 2019. As discussed below, based on the opinion of tax counsel, we are of the view that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes and we intend to annually deduct interest expense of approximately $ on the senior subordinated notes from taxable income for United States federal and state income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that the classification of senior subordinated notes as debt (or the amount of interest expense deducted) will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained if challenged, although to date we have neither been informed by the IRS that they believe that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as equity rather than debt for United States federal and state income tax purposes, nor have we sought a ruling from the IRS that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as debt. If our treatment of the senior subordinated notes as debt is put at risk in the future as a result of a future ruling by the IRS, including an adverse ruling for other IDSs or an adverse ruling for our own IDSs such that the senior subordinated notes are required to be treated as equity for income tax purposes then in the event of any such ruling, we may need to consider the effect of such developments on the determination of our future tax provisions and obligations. In the event the senior subordinated notes are required to be treated as equity for income tax purposes, then the cumulative interest expense associated with the senior subordinated notes would not be deductible from taxable income and we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. The additional tax due to the federal and state authorities would be based on our taxable income or loss for each of the years that we claim the interest expense deduction and would adversely affect our financial position, cash flow, and liquidity, and could affect our ability to make interest or dividend payments on the senior subordinated notes and the shares of common stock represented by the IDSs and our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not currently intend to record a liability for a potential disallowance of this interest expense deduction. In addition, non-U.S. holders of our IDS units could be subject to withholding taxes on the payment of interest treated by the IRS or the courts as dividends on equity which could subject us to additional liability for the withholding taxes that we do not collect on such payments.
As discussed below under "Material United States Federal Income Tax ConsequencesUnited States HoldersSenior Subordinated NotesCharacterization," the determination as to whether an instrument is treated as debt or equity for United States federal income tax purposes is based on all the facts and circumstances. There is no clear statutory definition of debt, and the characterization of an instrument as debt or equity is governed by principles developed in the case law, which analyzes numerous factors that are intended to identify the formal characteristics of, and the economic substance of, the investor's interest in us. In light of the representations and determinations described in the section referred to above and their relevance to several of the factors analyzed in the case law, and taking into account the facts and circumstances relating to the issuance of the senior subordinated
88
notes (including the separate issuance of senior subordinated notes in this offering), we (and our counsel) are of the view that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes. We intend to take such position, and therefore our financial statements will not reflect a tax liability related to this position. However, there can be no assurance that this position would be sustained if challenged by the IRS.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination that the interest rate on the senior subordinated notes represents an arm's length rate. If the IRS were successful in such a challenge, then any excess of the interest paid on the senior subordinated notes over the deemed arm's length amount would not be deductible by us and could be characterized as a dividend payment instead of an interest payment for United States federal income tax purposes. In such case, our taxable income and, thus, our United States federal income tax liability could be materially increased. We intend to determine, upon consummation of this offering, the appropriate arm's length interest rate on the senior subordinated notes through the utilization of a third party valuation firm and through the sale of the separate senior subordinated notes with the same terms that are a part of this offering.
IDSs, Class B common stock and Class C common stock. Our IDSs represent common stock, senior subordinated notes. Upon completion of this offering, proceeds from the issuance of the IDSs will first be allocated, based upon relative fair value, as determined by an independent appraisal firm, to Class A common stock and the senior subordinated notes. We currently believe there are no embedded derivative features related to the IDS security that may require bifurcation under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). Potential embedded derivatives we considered included the following:
The Class A common stock portion of the IDS unit will be included in stockholders' equity, net of the related portion of the IDS transaction costs allocated to Class A common stock, and dividends paid on the Class A common stock will be recorded as a reduction to retained earnings when declared by us. The senior subordinated debt portion of the IDS unit will be included in long-term debt, and the related portion of the IDS transaction costs allocated to the notes will be capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Interest on the senior subordinated notes will be charged to expense as accrued by us. We intend to determine the fair value of the Class A common stock and the senior subordinated notes through the utilization of a third party valuation firm and the sale of the separate senior subordinated notes with the same terms that are part of this offering.
In connection with our reorganization, we will issue shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock to certain current equity holders. The Class B common stock and Class C common stock may, subject to certain conditions, be exchanged in the future for IDSs. Because we have three classes
89
of common stock, net income will be allocated between the three classes of common stock for purposes of computing earnings per share.
Following the second anniversary of the consummation of this offering with respect to the Class B common stock and following 181 days after consummation of this offering with respect to the Class C common stock, at the option of our existing equity investors, upon any subsequent sale of any of their shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, we will issue to the purchasers of such shares, one IDS in exchange for one share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable.
We will initially record the portion of Class B common stock or Class C common stock allocable to the potential debt issuance upon exchange in the mezzanine equity section of our consolidated balance sheet based upon the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes at original issuance. This obligation is labeled Allocated Portion of Retained Interest. For all periods subsequent to the date of the initial public offering, we will reflect this feature at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income. Upon any actual exchange of Class B common stock or Class C common stock for IDSs, that pro rata portion of the Allocated Portion of the Retained Interest of such exchange will be reduced and such amount added to debt. If the then fair value of the Allocated Portion of the Retained Interest is above or below the par value of the senior subordinated notes, we will amortize any premium or accrete any discount on a non-cash basis on our consolidated statements of operation from the date that the exchange is made through the maturity date of the senior subordinated notes. Following any exchange of a share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock for IDSs, the portion of such exchange into shares of Class A common stock will continue to be classified by us as permanent equity and no changes to accounting would be reflected on an ongoing basis.
If it is determined at the time of issuance that the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for, a portion of the proceeds from the original issuance of the Class B common stock or the Class C common stock will also be allocated to this derivative. If a portion of the initial proceeds is allocated to the derivative, the amount recorded as mezzanine equity will initially be recorded at a discount and accreted to the redemption value using the effective interest method. The bifurcated derivatives will be recorded as liabilities and will be marked to market with changes in fair value being recorded as a component of interest expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)," FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the Company will be required to apply FIN 46R as of the date it first becomes involved with the entity. FIN 46R is effective for the Company for entities created before December 31, 2003, for the period ending March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under SFAS No. 150, an issuer is required to classify financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares and financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation, as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2004. On November 7, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. This deferral is expected to remain in effect while these provisions are further evaluated by the FASB. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our core brands have established high levels of consumer awareness and strong retail distribution across all major channels. Approximately 65% of our sales for the most recent fiscal year are from products that have a number one market share position. The following table outlines the leadership position of our major brands:

We have grown our company by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. We believe that these brands were considered non-core under previous ownership and, in most cases, did not benefit from the focus of senior level management or strong brand support. Our management has taken advantage of this opportunity by providing each acquired brand with the marketing support and senior level attention necessary to enhance the brand's market position, expand its distribution and successfully launch line extensions and new products.
Our core competencies are marketing, sales, customer service and product development. We outsource manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and logistics to experienced, low-cost third-party providers. This outsourcing model enables us to:
91
Our products are sold by mass merchandisers and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. We have a well-balanced mix across all of our classes of trade and we have been expanding our sales in high-growth club and dollar stores by introducing customized packaging for those channels. Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, which accounted for approximately 83.3% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. After giving effect to the Acquisitions, we had net sales of $272.7 million and $17.1 million of income from continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2004.
Competitive Strengths
Strong Operating Margins and Stable Cash Flows. Our leading brands and efficient operating model enable us to generate strong operating margins and stable cash flows. Our operating model, which focuses on our core competencies and outsources non-core functions to third parties, enables us to benefit from third-party economies of scale in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. We are therefore able to maintain low overhead and a highly variable cost structure with low working capital investment and negligible capital expenditures. Our presence across three major categories and numerous smaller niche markets provides us with a favorable product mix and enhances the stability of our cash flows. In addition, we have available beneficial tax attributes that we intend to use to reduce future tax payments, increasing our cash flows. We believe our diversified portfolio of brands and our operating model will enable us to generate strong and consistent cash flows.
Diversified Portfolio of Leading Brands. We own and market leading brands that have high levels of consumer brand awareness and widespread retail distribution. Approximately 65% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004 are from number one brands, including Comet, Chloraseptic, Compound W, Cutex, New-Skin, Murine and Dermoplast. On average, our major brands were established over 45 years ago and have strong brand equity. For example:
Stable and Attractive Industry Segments. We compete in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. We believe these categories to be growing and relatively resistant to economic downturn. Our core products are consumer staples and generally are not as subject to changing consumer preferences as other discretionary consumer products. We target brands in categories that generally receive less focus from large consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and are highly responsive to product innovations, which facilitates category expansion. We believe barriers to entry are high due to our leading market position and high consumer awareness of our brands. Finally, our products are important to retailers due to their ability to drive consumer traffic and generate attractive margins. This enables us to maintain close and lasting relationships with all of our top customers.
92
Proven Sales Growth Capability. We capitalize on our brands' high consumer awareness by systematically introducing new products and line extensions in order to extend our brands and grow sales. New product introductions are important because they enhance overall brand awareness and broaden distribution. We have demonstrated the underlying strength of our brands and the effectiveness of this strategy through line extensions, which expand product usage by adding new delivery methods or introducing products in related categories. Recent examples of line extensions include:
Experienced Senior Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands. Led by chief executive officer, Peter Mann, we have an experienced senior management team averaging over 30 years of experience in marketing, sales, customer service and product development. Peter Mann and his management team have successfully managed the Medtech and Spic and Span businesses and have been responsible for integrating numerous brands into the portfolio. Unlike many large consumer products companies, which we believe often entrust their smaller brands to rotating junior employees, our experienced managers are dedicated to specific brands and remain with those brands as they grow and evolve.
Business Strategy
Our business strategy is to leverage our core competencies of marketing, sales, customer service and product development to drive growth and to continue to enhance brand equity. We plan to execute this strategy through:
93
most recent fiscal year increased 29.2% from the previous fiscal year. We intend to continue to focus our efforts and resources on these key growth channels to drive growth in our business.
Products
Over-the Counter Drug Category.
Our portfolio of over-the-counter drugs consists of Clear eyes, Murine, Chloraseptic, the Compound W wart removal products and first aid products such as New-Skin and Dermoplast. Other niche brands in this category include Percogesic and Momentum, Freezone, Mosco and Outgro, Sleepeze, Compoz® and Heet. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the over-the-counter drugs category accounted for 50.9% of our net sales.
Clear eyes and Murine. Prestige International purchased the Clear eyes and Murine brands from Abbott Laboratories in December 2002. Since its introduction in 1968, the Clear eyes brand has been marketed as an effective eye care product that helps take redness away and helps moisturize the eye. Clear eyes has a brand awareness of 89% and an ACV of 93%. The Murine brand is over 100 years old. Murine products consist of both lubricating and soothing eye drops and ear wax removal aids. Murine products have an ACV of 61.2%.
Clear eyes, Murine Tears and Murine Ear Care are leading brands in the over-the-counter personal eye and ear care categories. The global eye care category had $1.2 billion in sales in 2002, according to Nicholas Hall 2003 Research, with the United States generating 29% of the total. Clear eyes has the number one selling SKU in redness relief eye drops and is the number two brand in that category with 19.2% volume share. The United States ear drop category had approximately $44 million in sales in 2003 and is composed of products that loosen earwax and products that treat trapped water (swimmer's ear). Murine is the number one United States ear care brand with 18% dollar share as of March 31, 2004. Additionally, Murine Tears is well positioned in the fast-growing artificial tears segment.
Chloraseptic. Prestige International acquired Chloraseptic in March 2000 from Procter & Gamble. Chloraseptic was originally developed by a dentist in 1957 to relieve sore throats and mouth pain. Chloraseptic is the number one doctor and pharmacist recommended branded in the store throat relief category. Chloraseptic has an 79% brand awareness and an ACV of 81%.
The sore throat remedy category is divided into two segments: liquids/sprays and lozenges. The liquids/sprays subcategory is a $47.1 million market (as of September 7, 2003) and the lozenges segment is believed to be a $39.2 million market. Chloraseptic products are the number one SKU in the sore throat liquids/sprays segment and the number two SKU in the sore throat lozenges segment. The Chloraseptic brand is number one in sore throat liquids/sprays with 57% dollar share and number four in sore throat lozenges with 6% dollar share.
Historically, Chloraseptic products were limited to sore throat lozenges and traditional sore throat sprays that were stored and used at home. Since its acquisition by Prestige International, the Chloraseptic product line has been expanded to also include portable sprays, gargle, mouth pain sprays and relief strips introduced in July 2003 that combine popular dissolvable strips with Chloraseptic's professionally recommended medicine. These product introductions enable us to market Chloraseptic products as a system, encourage consumers to buy multiple SKUs and increase volume for the entire product line.
94
Compound W. Medtech acquired Compound W from American Home Products in 1996. The Compound W brand has a long heritage; its wart removal products having been introduced almost 50 years ago. Compound W products are specially designed to provide relief of common and plantar warts and is sold in multiple forms of treatment depending on the consumer's need, including Fast-Acting Liquid, Fast-Acting Gel, One Step Pads for Kids, One Step Pads for Adults and Freeze Off. We believe that Compound W is one of the most trusted names in wart removal, as evidenced by "the pharmacist recommended solution for removing common skin warts" recognition to its Fast-Acting Liquid product. The Compound W products have a brand awareness of 81% and a strong ACV of 84%.
Compound W competes in what we believe to be the $75 million wart remover category. Compound W is the number one wart removal brand in the United States with a 33% dollar share of the category for the four week period ended April 18, 2004.
Since Compound W's acquisition, we have successfully expanded the wart remover category and enhanced the Compound W brand equity by introducing several new products. On July 1, 2003, we introduced a cryogenic wart removal product, Compound W Freeze Off, which allows consumers to use a wart freezing treatment similar to that used by doctors. To date, Compound W Freeze Off has achieved high trade acceptance and achieved $11.3 million in sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. We have also extended the Compound W brand by introducing Fast Acting Liquid, One Step Pads for Kids and Waterproof One Step Pads.
New-Skin. The brand has a long heritage, with the core product believed by management to be over 100 years old. New-Skin products consist of liquid bandages for small cuts and scrapes that are designed to replace traditional bandages in an effective and easy to use form. The New-Skin line has three products: New-Skin Liquid Bandage, New-Skin Burn Relief and New-Skin Wound and Blister Dressing. Each product works by drying and creating a thin, clear, protective covering when applied to the skin. The New-Skin products have an 87% ACV rating.
New-Skin competes in what we believe to be the approximately $30 million liquid bandage segment of the first aid bandage category. Within this segment, New-Skin has a 45% unit share with a number one ranking, ahead of Johnson & Johnson's Band Aid® Liquid Bandage product.
Dermoplast. Medtech acquired Dermoplast from American Home Products in 1996. Dermoplast is an aerosol spray anesthetic for minor topical pain that was traditionally a "hospital-only" brand dispensed to mothers after giving birth. The primary use in hospitals is for post episiotomy pain, post-partum hemorrhoidal pain, and for the relief of female genital itching. Dermoplast enjoys broad distribution across the drug and mass merchandise channels, with an ACV level of 64%.
Dermoplast competes in what we estimate to be the $25 million spray segment of the $375 million first aid ointment category. Dermoplast is currently the number one brand in hospital pain relieving spray in the United States.
Since Dermoplast's acquisition, Medtech introduced retail versions of the products, a move that effectively doubled the size of the business. In addition to the traditional hospital uses mentioned above, Dermoplast offers sanitary, convenient first aid relief for pain and itching from minor skin irritations, sunburn, insect bites, minor cuts, scrapes and burns. The products are currently offered in two formulas: regular strength and antibacterial strength.
Household Cleaning Category.
Our portfolio of household cleaning brands includes the Comet and Spic and Span brands. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the household cleaning category accounted for 35.7% of our net sales.
Comet. Prestige International acquired Comet from Procter & Gamble in October 2001. Comet was originally introduced in 1956 and is one of the most widely recognized household cleaning brands, with approximately 97% brand awareness and an ACV of 96%. Comet products include different
95
varieties of cleaning powders, sprays, gels, creams and toilet cleaners and are found in approximately 61% of all United States homes, each of which have at least one Comet product.
Comet competes in what we believe to be the $370 million abrasive and non-abrasive tub/tile cleaner sub-category of the $1.7 billion household cleaning category (including sales to Wal-Mart and dollar stores). Comet is the number one powder cleanser in the household cleaner category with an estimated 50% volume share. The abrasive tub/tile cleaner sub-category is Comet's primary market. The top three brands in this market are Comet, Clorox's Soft Scrub and Colgate Palmolive's Ajax®. Comet is the number one brand in this category with 42% unit volume share at April 18, 2004 and maintains a number two position behind Clorox's Soft Scrub® in dollar share. The non-abrasive tub and tile cleaner segment is more fragmented and competitive than the abrasive segment. Comet ranks fifth by volume share in this segment behind the Scrubbing Bubbles®, Tilex®, Lysol® and Scrub Free® brands. Comet has been attempting to build momentum in its efforts to increase its share in the fragmented non-abrasive tub and tile cleaner segment through focused advertising and promotions, including free-standing insert coupons, hang collar coupons and television advertising.
Since Comet's acquisition, Prestige International has expanded the brand's distribution, increased advertising and promotion and implemented focused marketing initiatives. Further, under Prestige International's ownership, Comet has seen multiple new product introductions to extend the brand into new categories and increase usage. Some of the significant recent product launches include Comet Clean and Flush introduced in October 2003 to extend the Comet brand into toilet cleaning category, and Comet Orange Brite Bathroom Spray and Orange Oxygenated Soft Powder products introduced in June 2003 as line extensions for existing Comet sprays and powders. These and other new products are aimed at extending Comet's brand equity by promoting Comet as a comprehensive cleaning system of powders, sprays, creams and toilet cleaners.
Spic and Span. Spic and Span was introduced to the market in 1925 and is marketed as the complete home cleaner with four product lines consisting of dilutables, hard surface sprays, soft powder and disinfecting wipes, all of which can be use for multi-room and multi-surface cleaning. As of December 31, 2003, Spic and Span had an ACV of 86% and a 95% brand awareness. Since its acquisition from Procter & Gamble in January 2001, the product line has grown from eight SKUs to 34 SKUs and we have increased advertising and promotional efforts supporting the products.
Personal Care Category
Our portfolio of personal care brands includes the brands of Denorex dandruff shampoo, Cutex nail products and Prell shampoo. Other brands in this category include Ezo denture cushion, Oxipor VHC skin-care lotion, Cloverine® skin salve, Zincon shampoo and Kerodex barrier cream. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the personal care category accounted for 13.4% of our net sales.
Denorex. Denorex was acquired by Medtech from American Home Products in February 2002. The Denorex brand was originally launched in 1971 by American Home Products to compete in the then new "therapeutic" segment of the medicated shampoo category. The Denorex brand has strong consumer awareness as an effective solution to scalp problems, as illustrated by its 81% brand awareness and an ACV of 76%. The current lineup of Denorex products includes Extra Strength and Extra Strength with Conditioner, Therapeutic Strength and Therapeutic Strength with Conditioner, and the Advanced Formula that was recently renamed as the Everyday Formula to attract moderate dandruff sufferers.
The medicated shampoo market in the United States is large, consisting of what we believe to be approximately 50 million people, or 18% of the population, suffering from dandruff. Denorex competes in what we believe to be the $160 million therapeutic segment of what management estimates to be the $350 million dandruff shampoo category. Within the therapeutic shampoo segment Denorex has a 12% dollar share competing with McNeil-PPC's Nizoral®, Chattem's Selsun Blue® and Neutrogena's T-Gel.
96
Cutex. Cutex is an old and, we believe, trusted brand, synonymous with its core products' key function: nail polish removal. Cutex has an ACV rating of 94%. Cutex has four product lines: Quick and Gentle Liquid Nail Polish Remover, Cutex Essential Care Advanced Liquid, Essential Care Advanced Nail Polish Remover Pads and Quick and Gentle Instant Jar Nail Polish Removers.
Cutex is the number one brand in the $54 million nail polish remover category. Cutex has a leading 20% dollar share of the category. The main competition is private label.
Cutex is currently introducing a nail treatment line with a variety of new and innovative products, designed to meet consumer needs. The nail treatment category is similar to that of nail polish remover and is estimated by management to be approximately $70 million. The category offers a higher retail selling price and profitability compared to the nail polish remover category.
Prell. Prestige International acquired Prell from Procter & Gamble in November 1999. Prell was launched in 1947 and is a highly recognized shampoo brand with approximately 88% brand awareness and an ACV of 73%. We believe Prell has a loyal base of consumers seeking shampoo at the mid-price point segment.
Prell competes in the $1.3 billion shampoo segment in the United States. The shampoo category is fragmented and populated by hundreds of brands. The fragmented nature of the shampoo segment places a premium on distribution and brand recognition and positioning.
Marketing and Sales
Our marketing approach is based upon the acquisition and rebuilding of established, mass market brands that possess what we believe to be significant brand equity and unrealized potential. Our marketing objective is to increase sales and market share by developing and executing professionally designed, creative and cost-effective advertising and promotional programs. Once we acquire a brand, we implement a brand building strategy that leverages the brand's existing equity to maximize sales of current products and grows the brand through product innovation. This brand building process involves the evaluation and enhancement of the existing brand name, the development and introduction of innovative new products and the professional execution of support programs. All new product concepts are thoroughly researched before launch. To ensure consistent growth, the brands are supported by an integrated trade, consumer and advertising effort, although advertising is used selectively. Recognizing that financial resources are limited, we allocate our resources to focus on those brands that show the greatest opportunities for growth and financial success. Brand priorities vary from year to year and generally revolve around the introduction of new items.
Customers
Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, accounting for approximately 83.3% of our combined gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. Our sales force consists of 10 people and is also complemented by third-party sales management organizations who focus on key client relationships by interfacing directly with the remaining accounts and report directly to members of management.
We enjoy broad distribution across each of the major retail channels and have successfully increased penetration in the traditional mass merchandiser, drug and food channels since 2001. Our products are sold by mass merchandisers and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. We have expanded our sales in high-growth clubs and dollar stores by introducing packaging and sizes customized for these channels. We have a well-balanced channel mix: food, drug and mass merchandise channels account for 27.2%, 19.1% and 35.9% of sales to our top 50 customers, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2004. Due to the diversity of our product line, we believe that these channels are of equal importance and we continue to seek opportunities for growth in each sector.
Our principal customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Albertson's. For the year ended March 31, 2004, after giving effect to the Acquisitions, our top five and ten
97
customers accounted for approximately 42.1% and 57.1% of our overall gross sales and Wal-Mart itself accounted for approximately 23.0% of our gross sales. Our top fifteen customers each purchase products from virtually every major product line.
Our strong customer relationships provide us with a number of important benefits including minimizing slotting fees and shortening payment time after invoicing. In addition, these relationships help us by facilitating new product introductions and ensuring prominent shelf space. Management's emphasis on strong personal and professional relationships, speed and flexibility, leading sales technology capabilities, including electronic data interchange, e-mail, the internet, integrated retail coverage, consistent marketing support programs and ongoing product innovation we believe will continue to maximize our competitiveness in the increasingly complex retail environment.
The following table sets forth a list of our primary distribution channels and our principal customers for each channel.

Outsourcing and Manufacturing
In order to maximize our competitiveness and efficiently allocate our resources, third-party manufacturers provide us with all of our manufacturing needs. We have found that contract manufacturing maximizes our flexibility and responsiveness to industry and consumer trends while minimizing the need for capital expenditures. We select contract manufacturers based on what we believe to be the best overall value, and we take into account factors such as depth of services, the management team, manufacturing flexibility, regulatory compliance and competitive pricing. We also conduct thorough reviews of each potential manufacturer's facilities, quality standards, capacity and financial stability. We generally only purchase finished products from our manufacturers, and none of those products require unique raw materials.
Our primary contract manufacturers provide comprehensive services from product development through manufacturing of finished goods and are responsible for such matters as production planning, product research and development, procurement, production and quality testing through product release. The manufacturer is responsible for all capital expenditures and works with us to develop
98
improved packaging and promotional offers. In most instances, we provide our contract manufacturers with guidance and management in the form of product development, performance criteria, regulatory guidance, sourcing of packaging materials, overall project management and monthly master production schedules. This management approach results in minimal capital expenditures and maximizes our cash flow.
We have relationships with over 20 third-party manufacturers. Our largest suppliers of manufactured goods for the year ended March 31, 2004 included Vijon Laboratories, Abbott Laboratories, Kolmar Canada, Procter & Gamble, OraSure Technologies and Humco Holdings. We enter into manufacturing agreements for a majority of our products, each of which vary based on the third-party producer and the types of products being supplied. These agreements explicitly outline the manufacturer's obligations and product specifications with respect to the brand or brands being produced. The manufacturing agreements are typically one to seven years in duration and prices under these agreements generally are established annually and subject to quarterly adjustments for actual raw material and packaging cost changes. Labor cost increases are generally limited to increases in the consumer price index. All of our other products are manufactured on a purchase order basis. Orders are generally based on batch sizes and result in no long-term obligations or commitments.
Warehousing and Distribution
We receive orders from retailers and/or brokers primarily by electronic data interchange ("EDI"), which automatically enters each order into our systems and then routes the order to our distribution center. The distribution center will, in turn, send a confirmation that the order was received, fill the order, and ship the order to the customers, while sending a shipment confirmation to us. Upon receipt of the confirmation, we send an invoice to the customer.
We manage product distribution in the mainland United States through one facility located in St. Louis, which is leased and operated by Ozburn-Hessey Logistics. Ozburn-Hessey Logistics handles all finished goods storage and all customer shipments, as well as counting and disposition of customer returns. For the Over-the-Counter Drug and Personal Care product lines, freight and warehousing costs are a relatively small portion of our expenses (5% of sales) due to the high value and low weight of the product line. For the Household category, the freight costs were approximately 7% due to the products' higher weight. We pay a fixed lease on the warehouse space, and a handling fee per case of product shipped from the facility. Canadian brands are warehoused and distributed by Canadian-based distribution companies.
Regulation
Product Regulations. The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the FDA, the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the EPA and by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed and sold. Regulatory issues are handled internally by management and an experienced FDA consultant. Our operations team works closely with our co-packers on quality and makes frequent site visits. When and if the FDA chooses to audit a particular facility that is manufacturing one of our products, we are notified immediately and updated on the process of the audit as it proceeds. To prepare manufacturers for audits, we perform "mock" FDA inspections at least biannually. Our management intends to continue this procedure across all of our brands. This continual evaluation process ensures that our manufacturing processes and products are of the highest quality and in compliance with all regulatory needs.
All of our over-the-counter drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA's monograph system. The monographs, both tentative and final, set out the active ingredients and labeling indications that are permitted for certain broad categories of over-the-counter drug products. Where the FDA has finalized a particular monograph, it has concluded that a properly labeled product formulation is
99
generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. A tentative final monograph indicates that the FDA has not made a final determination about products in a category to establish safety and efficacy for a product and its uses. However, unless there is a serious safety or efficacy issue, the FDA will typically exercise enforcement discretion and permit companies to sell products conforming to a tentative final monograph until the final monograph is published. Products that comply with either final or tentative final monograph standards do not require pre-market approval from the FDA.
In accordance with the FDC Act and FDA regulations, the manufacturing processes of our third party manufacturers must also comply with the FDA's cGMPs. The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs.
Other Regulations. We are also subject to a variety of other regulations in various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export regulations and antitrust issues. To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, we may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the country's ministry of health or comparable agency. We must also comply with product labeling and packaging regulations that vary from country to country. Government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products. Our failure to comply with these regulations can result in a product being removed from sale in a particular market, either temporarily or permanently.
Intellectual Property
We own a number of trademark registrations and applications in the United States, Canada and certain other foreign countries. The following are some of the most important trademarks registered in the United States: APF, Blistergard, Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Cinch, Cloverine, Comet, Compound W, Compoz, Cutex, Denorex, Dermoplast, Essential Care, Freezone, Heet, Iodex, Kerodex, Meds, Momentum, Mosco, Murine, Nail-a-Clean, New Skin, Outgro, Oxipor VHC, Percogesic, Prell, Simple Pad, Simplegel, Sleep-Eze, Spic and Span, Vacuum Grip and Zincon. In addition, we have an exclusive royalty bearing license to use the EZO trademark in the United States for a term of 10 years from January 1, 2003 at the end of which we shall have the right to purchase the trademark for $1,000. While we own the U.S. trademark registration for Kerodex, we have an obligation to pay royalties to Unilever/Scientific with respect to the manufacture and sale of barrier creams sold in the United States under the Kerodex trademark. This royalty obligation will continue so long as we make, use or sell these products in the United States.
As part of our acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine product lines from Abbott Laboratories in 2002, certain country closings were scheduled to take place after 2003 in order for the parties to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in those countries. While a number of those closings have occurred and the trademark registrations and applications in such countries have been assigned to us, we and Abbott are still in the process of executing separate agreements to effect assignments of trademark registrations and applications for the Clear eyes and Murine trademarks in some countries that represent smaller markets for us.
We acquired certain other intellectual property rights from Procter & Gamble and Abbott Laboratories when we acquired the trademarks related to the Comet, Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Murine and Prell product lines; however, we did not in each case obtain title to all of the intellectual property used to manufacture and sell those products. Therefore, we are dependent upon Procter & Gamble, Abbott Laboratories and other third parties for certain intellectual property used in the manufacture and sale of certain of our products (e.g., Comet products, Clean and Flush disposable toilet brush products, Chloraseptic strips, Prell shampoo, Spic and Span dilutables, Cinch spray, Spic and Span soft powder). We have licenses for such intellectual property or manufacturing agreements with the owners of such intellectual property.
100
We have granted MF Distributions, Inc. an exclusive license (with an option to purchase) to sell Spic and Span and Cinch products in Canada for a royalty. In 2003, we assigned our Italian trademark applications and registrations for Spic and Span and Cinch to Conter, S.p.A., and entered into a concurrent use agreement with Conter with respect to such marks.
We have granted Procter & Gamble the right to use the Comet trademark in the commercial/institutional/industrial segment in the United States and Canada until 2010 and in all of its segments in certain Eastern European countries until 2006. In addition, we have granted to Procter & Gamble the right to use the Spic and Span trademark in connection with cleaning products for use primarily outside the home and in a business or institution until 2009.
Information Technology
We use ACCPAC (Computer Associates) as our business management system. The system handles our accounts receivables, accounts payable, inventory control, purchase orders, order entry and general ledger transactions. We are currently running three separate entities on the system and plan to integrate other entities on the system in connection with the Prestige acquisition. Because this system gives us the ability to manage several different companies at the same time, we anticipate that such integration will be completed without disruption to our daily operations.
For EDI transactions, we use Gentran, a software from Sterling Commerce which is one of the most widely used packages for EDI in the United States. The above systems, along with our highly experienced staff located in Jackson, Wyoming, gives us the capability to add brands or entire companies to the portfolio in a seamless fashion.
Employees
We employed 68 individuals at June 30, 2004. None of our employees are party to collective bargaining agreements. Management believes that its relations with its employees are good.
Properties
Our corporate headquarters are located in Irvington, New York, a suburb of New York City. Primary functions undertaken at the Irvington facility include senior management, marketing, sales, operations and finance. We also have a secondary administrative center in Jackson, Wyoming. Primary functions undertaken at the Jackson facility include back office functions such as invoicing, credit and collection, general ledger and customer service. Each of these facilities are leased with expiration dates ranging from 2004 to 2005.
Legal Proceedings
In June 2003, a lawsuit, Theodosakis v. Walgreens, et al, was filed in Federal District Court in Arizona, in which the plaintiff alleged that Medtech Products and others infringed the dress trade of a book titled "The Arthritis Cure" in connection with the sale of dietary supplement products under the core trademark ARTHx. In addition, the complaint alleged that Medtech Products and others made false endorsements, engaged in unfair competition, made false designations of origin and invaded the privacy rights of the plaintiff. The ARTHx trademarks, goodwill and inventory were sold by us to a third party, Contract Pharmacal Corporation, in March 2003. In May 2004, we filed a motion for summary judgment requesting that the court dismiss all claims against us. We intend to defend this matter vigorously. Because of the inherent uncertainties related to this type of lawsuit, however, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, or the likelihood or amount of its potential liability, if any.
We are also involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business. When it appears probable in management's judgment that we will incur monetary damages or other costs in connection with such claims and proceedings, and such costs can be reasonably estimated, liabilities are recorded in the financial statements and charges are recorded against earnings. We believe the resolution of such routine matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The compensation arrangements for our Chief Executive Officer and each of our Named Executive Officers were established pursuant to the terms of the respective employment agreements between us and each executive officer (with the exception of Richard Thome who does not have an employment agreement). The terms of the employment agreements were established pursuant to arms-length negotiations between a representative of the existing equity investors or the Chief Executive Officer and each executive officer.
Compensation of Directors
We will reimburse members of our board of directors for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with services provided in such capacity. In addition, we may compensate directors for services provided in such capacity.
Senior Management Agreements
In connection with the Medtech acquisition, Peter C. Mann entered into a senior management agreement with our predecessor, Prestige International Holdings, LLC, which we refer to as "Prestige LLC." Pursuant to the senior management agreement, Mr. Mann (1) acquired a strip of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units, which are referred to as "Co-Invest Units"; and (2) acquired additional Common Units, which are available only for issuance to management investors and which are referred to as "Carried Units." In connection with our reorganization, we expect that this agreement will be terminated and that we will enter into a new senior management agreement with Mr. Mann with substantially similar terms.
Co-Invest Units were fully vested when purchased; however, Carried Units are subject to vesting. Fifteen percent of the Carried Units were vested when purchased and 17% will vest annually over a period of five years, subject to acceleration in the event of a sale of Prestige LLC. As occurred in the Prestige Acquisition, investments made under the unit purchase agreement (as described below in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions") may dilute the Carried Units.
105
Prestige LLC may be required to purchase Mr. Mann's vested units in the event of his termination of employment (1) due to death or disability, (2) by us without cause, provided that, at such time, certain financial targets are being met and certain defaults are not existing under our financing arrangements or (3) by Mr. Mann for good reason, provided that, at such time, certain financial targets are being met and certain defaults are not existing under our financing arrangements. In addition, Prestige LLC may be required to purchase a portion of Mr. Mann's Class B Preferred Units at the fair market value of such securities if the investors that are a party to the unit purchase agreement elect not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units contemplated to be purchased by them under such agreement, or, all of such Class B Preferred Units have not been purchased by them under the unit purchase agreement prior to a sale of Prestige LLC or an initial public offering of the equity of Prestige LLC or any corporate successor thereto.
In addition, Prestige LLC and the investors that are a party to the unit purchase agreement will have the right to purchase all or any portion of Mr. Mann's unvested units if his employment is terminated and all or any portion of Mr. Mann's vested units in the event of his termination of employment (1) due to death or disability, (2) by us with cause, (3) by Mr. Mann without good reason or (4) at a time when certain financial targets are not being met or certain defaults are existing under our financing arrangements. If Prestige LLC elects to purchase any units pursuant to the call option described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price of any such units may, among other options, be paid by issuing Class A Preferred Units to Mr. Mann. The aggregate capital contributions deemed made to Prestige LLC in respect of such Class A Preferred Units will be equal to the aggregate repurchase price of the units being repurchased with such Class A Preferred Units. The purchase price for securities purchased pursuant to the call option shall be (1) in the case of unvested Carried Units, the lesser of the original cost and the fair market value of such units; (2) in the case of vested Carried Units and Common Units, the purchase price shall be the fair market value of such units, provided that, if Mr. Mann's employment is terminated with cause, then the purchase price shall be the lesser of the original cost and the fair market value of such units; and (3) in the case of the Class B Preferred Units, the purchase price shall be the fair market value of such units, provided that, if Mr. Mann's employment is terminated with cause, then the purchase price shall be the lesser of the original cost and the fair market value of such units.
Repurchases by Prestige LLC under the put and call options described above are subject to (i) Prestige LLC's ability to pay the purchase price from its readily available cash resources, (ii) restrictions contained in laws applicable to Prestige LLC or its subsidiaries and (iii) restrictions contained in Prestige LLC's and its subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements, including the existing credit facility and the indenture governing the 91/4% notes. Prestige LLC may therefore defer repurchases while such restrictions apply.
Mr. Mann's senior management agreement also prohibits him from transferring any of his Co-Invest Units or Carried Units, subject to certain exceptions. The transfer restrictions terminate with respect to particular securities upon such securities being transferred in a public sale and with respect to all securities upon the sale of Prestige LLC.
Each of Peter J. Anderson, Gerard F. Butler and Michael A. Fink is also a party to a senior management agreement pursuant to which he acquired Co-Invest Units and Carried Units at the same price and under terms generally no less favorable to us than Mr. Mann's terms. In addition, each senior management agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. We expect that these agreements will be terminated in connection with our reorganization and that we will enter into substantially similar agreements with these members of our senior management team.
Furthermore, in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, each of the executives listed in the table below sold (i) the number of shares of Medtech common stock indicated below to us in exchange for $4.93 per share and (ii) the number of shares of Denorex common stock indicated below to Prestige
106
Personal Care, Inc. in exchange for $128.75 per share. In addition, each of Messrs. Mann, Anderson, Butler and Fink contributed the remainder of their respective Medtech common stock and Denorex common stock to Prestige LLC in exchange for a number of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units of Prestige LLC based on a $1,000 per unit and $0.10 per unit price, respectively. Certain of the Common Units received by such executives are subject to vesting terms, as discussed above.

In his senior management agreement, Mr. Mann agrees to serve as chief executive officer until he resigns or we terminate his employment. While employed, Mr. Mann will receive an annual base salary of $425,000, subject to increase by the board of managers. For each fiscal year of employment, Mr. Mann will be eligible for an annual bonus and will be entitled to any other benefits approved by the board of managers of Prestige LLC and made available to other senior management.
Mr. Mann's employment will continue until (1) his resignation without good reason, or his disability or death, (2) our termination of his employment with cause, (3) our termination of his employment without cause or (4) his resignation with good reason. If his employment is terminated by Prestige LLC without cause or by Mr. Mann for good reason, then during the one-year period following the termination Mr. Mann will be entitled to receive, in equal installments on regular payroll dates, an aggregate amount equal to his annual base salary and his prior annual bonus.
Mr. Mann agrees to limitations on his ability to disclose confidential information relating to us and acknowledges that all discoveries, inventions, methods and other work product relating to his employment belong to us. Also, during the one-year period following the termination of Mr. Mann's employment, he agrees not to engage in any manner in any business in the United States that competes with one of our significant revenue-producing brands or with respect to which we conducted discussions relating to the acquisition of such business during the year preceding the termination of Mr. Mann's employment and during his receipt of any severance payments. Furthermore, during the non-compete period, Mr. Mann agrees not to solicit our employees or customers or hire our key employees.
Each of the senior management agreements of Messrs. Anderson, Butler and Fink provide that such individuals will be employed by us under terms generally no less favorable to us than Mr. Mann's terms. Under their respective senior management agreements, each of Messrs. Anderson, Butler and Fink will serve in the following positions and receive the following annual base salary, subject to increase by the board of managers:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Repurchase of Class B Preferred Stock and Class C Common Stock
We intend to use approximately $ million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase the following shares of our outstanding Class B preferred stock and a portion of our Class C common stock held by certain of our directors, executive officers and security holders who beneficially own more than five percent of any class of our voting securities.

The per share purchase price for each share of Class B preferred stock to be repurchased by us will be equal to the liquidation value of the Class B preferred stock of $1,000 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends through the repurchase date. The per share purchase price for each share of Class C common stock to be repurchased by us will be equal to $ per share. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option, all of the net proceeds from the over-allotment will be used to repurchase additional shares of Class C common stock. All of the shares of Class B preferred stock and Class C common stock repurchased by us will be issued in connection with our reorganization.
In addition, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering together with the $ million net proceeds from the new credit facility and cash on hand to repay all outstanding borrowings under Prestige Brands' existing credit facility, repurchase all of our outstanding senior preferred stock and purchase or redeem all of the 91/4% notes. See "Use of Proceeds."
In the aggregate, we expect that GTCR and its affiliates will receive approximately $ million of the net proceeds from this offering and TCW/Crescent and its affiliates will receive approximately $ million of the net proceeds from this offering.
Unit Purchase Agreement
Pursuant to the unit purchase agreement entered into among Prestige LLC, the GTCR investors and the co-investors, in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, the GTCR investors and the co-investors acquired a strip of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units of Prestige LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $102,220,951 and $3,000,000, respectively. In addition, the GTCR investors committed to purchase up to an aggregate of 144,779.049 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit and, in any such case, the co-investors will have the option to purchase their proportionate share of such Class B Preferred Units. The co-investors, however, will forfeit their rights to purchase additional Class B Preferred Units should they on any occasion elect not to purchase their proportionate share of the additional Class B Preferred Units being purchased by the GTCR investors. In connection with the Prestige Acquisition, the GTCR investors and the co-investors purchased 58,179.250 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit. The discretionary investment of the remaining $86,599,799 is conditioned upon the GTCR investors and the board of managers of Prestige LLC approving the proposed use of the proceeds from the investment, as well as the satisfaction of certain other conditions.
109
Limited Liability Company Agreement
Prestige LLC has issued Senior Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units and Common Units under the terms of its limited liability company agreement. Prestige LLC also has the authority to create and issue Class A Preferred Units in connection with certain repurchases by Prestige LLC of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units held by our executives in the event that they cease to be employed by us.
Senior Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred yield of 8.0% per annum (or 0% per annum if certain sales targets for such year are not met), compounded annually. On any liquidation or other distribution by Prestige LLC, holders of Senior Preferred Units are entitled to an amount equal to the original investment in such preferred units, net of any prior returns of capital with respect to such preferred units, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred yield, which we refer to as the "Senior Preference Amount," before any payments may be made to holders of Class A Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units or Common Units. Class A Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred yield of 8.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. On any liquidation or other distribution by Prestige LLC, holders of Class A Preferred Units are entitled to an amount equal to the original investment in such preferred units, net of any prior returns of capital with respect to such preferred units, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred yield, which we refer to as the "Class A Preference Amount," before any payments may be made to holders of Class B Preferred Units or Common Units.

The Common Units represent the common equity of Prestige LLC. After payment of the Senior Preference Amount, the Class A Preference Amount and the Class B Preference Amount, holders of Common Units are entitled to any remaining proceeds of any liquidation or other distribution by Prestige LLC pro rata according to the number of Common Units held by such holder.
Prestige LLC's limited liability company agreement will be terminated upon the consummation of our reorganization.

112
Investor Rights Agreement
We will enter into an investor rights agreement with the existing equity investors and certain members of management pursuant to which upon any sale by the existing equity investors or certain members of management of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock to a purchaser of such shares in a registered offering under the Securities Act following the second anniversary of the consummation of this offering with respect to the Class B common stock and 181 days after the consummation of this offering with respect to the Class C common stock, at the option of the existing equity investor or certain members of management, we will exchange with the purchaser of such shares one IDS for each share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable (as may be adjusted for stock splits, dividends, combinations or reclassifications).
As a condition to any sale by the existing equity investors or certain members of management of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock involving an election to require us to issue IDSs in exchange for such shares:
This exchange feature is designed to increase the marketability of the shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock by allowing them to be exchanged upon transfer for a security, the IDSs, that trade in the open market. Any such exchange shall be for IDSs that are registered with the SEC and will only be made pursuant to an effective registration statement.
In the event that the IDSs are automatically separated as a result of the partial redemption of any senior subordinated notes, at such time we will amend our bylaws to delete the restriction that we may only issue shares of Class A common stock in offerings registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and each share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, will automatically be exchanged for one share of Class A common stock and one senior subordinated note.
113
In addition, the investor rights agreement will contain the following registration rights:
If the existing equity investors exercise their demand registration rights, we will file a registration statement or prospectus and undertake an offering in the United States, as requested by the existing equity investors. The registration rights are transferable by the existing equity investors.
We have agreed to pay all costs and expenses in connection with each such registration, except underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the securities sold, and to indemnify the existing equity investors that have included securities in such offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Furthermore, we have agreed not to repurchase any shares of Class B common stock prior to the second anniversary of the consummation of this offering.
114
DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
The Existing Prestige Brands Credit Facility
The existing Prestige Brands credit facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $505.0 million and is comprised of:
As of March 31, 2004, $458.5 million was outstanding under the existing credit facility. We will repay all amounts outstanding under the existing credit facility with the proceeds that we receive from this offering and/or the new credit facility.
The 91/4% Notes
On April 6, 2004, Prestige Brands issued $210 million of its 91/4% senior subordinated notes due in 2012. In conjunction with this offering, we intend to purchase or redeem all of the 91/4% notes with the proceeds that we receive from this offering and/or the new credit facility.
The New Credit Facility
Prestige Brands' intends to enter into a $ new secured credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, including Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as joint lead arrangers.
We expect that the new credit facility will be comprised of a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $ million, which we refer to as the "new revolver," and a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $ million, which we refer to as the "new term loan."
We expect that the new revolver will have a -year maturity and the new term loan will have a -year maturity.
We expect that the new credit facility will have several features similar to credit facilities of this nature, including but not limited to:
Interest Rate and Fees. We expect that borrowings under the new credit facility will bear interest at the LIBO Rate plus an applicable margin. We also expect the new revolver will provide payment to the lenders of a commitment fee on any unused commitments equal to % per annum.
Voluntary Prepayments. We expect that the new credit facility will provide for voluntary commitment reductions and prepayments of the new revolver and new senior notes, respectively, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.
Mandatory Prepayments. We expect that the new credit facility will provide for mandatory prepayments in specified in connection with specified equity or debt issuances, asset sales and excess cash flow.
Covenants. We expect that the new credit facility will require that we meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation, a maximum senior and total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. We also expect that our new credit facility will contain customary covenants and restrictions, including, among others, limitations or prohibitions on capital expenditures and
115
acquisitions, declaring and paying dividends and other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing our other indebtedness, loans and investments, additional indebtedness, liens, guarantees, recapitalizations, mergers, asset sales and transactions with affiliates.
Guarantees. We expect that the new credit facility will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us and by all of our direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
Collateral. We expect to give to the administrative agent on behalf of each lender a security interest in collateral consisting of, without limitation, a pledge of our intercompany debt, 100% of the capital stock of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and a security interest in substantially all our other personal property, in each case subject to customary exceptions for transactions of this type.
Events of Default. We expect that the new credit facility will specify certain customary events of default, including but not limited to, failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due (after grace periods, if any), and material inaccuracy of any representation of warranty, material cross default, insolvency, bankruptcy and dissolution events, material judgments, ERISA events, change of control, change in nature of the business, failure to maintain first priority perfected security interest, invalidity of guarantee, mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions.
116
General
We are offering IDSs. Each IDS represents:
The ratio of Class A common stock to principal amount of senior subordinated notes represented by an IDS is subject to change in the event of a stock split, recombination or reclassification of our Class A common stock. Immediately following the occurrence of any such event, we will file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K or any other applicable form, disclosing the changes in the ratio of Class A common stock to principal amount of senior subordinated notes as a result of such event.
Holders of IDSs are the beneficial owners of the Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented by such IDSs and will have exactly the same rights, privileges and preferences, including voting rights, rights to receive distributions, rights and preferences in the event of a default under the senior subordinated notes indenture, ranking upon bankruptcy and rights to receive communications and notices as a direct holder of the Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes, as applicable.
The IDSs will be available in book-entry form only. As discussed below under "Book-Entry Settlement and Clearance," Cede & Co., a nominee of the book-entry clearing system will be the sole registered holder of the IDSs. That means you will not be a registered holder of IDSs or be entitled to receive a certificate evidencing your IDSs.
You must rely on the procedures used by your broker or other financial institution that will maintain your book-entry position to receive the benefits and exercise the rights of a holder of IDSs that are described below. We urge you to consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are. However, a holder of Class A common stock, including a holder of an IDS that requests that the IDS be separated, has a legal right under Delaware law to request that we issue a certificate for such common stock.
All IDSs issuances will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Voluntary Separation and Combination
Holders of IDSs, whether purchased in this offering or in subsequent offerings of IDSs of the same series, may, at any time after the earlier of 45 days from the closing of this offering or the occurrence of a change of control under the indenture, through their broker or other financial institution, separate their IDSs into the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby. Unless the IDSs have been previously automatically separated as a result of redemption or maturity of the senior subordinated notes or otherwise, any holder of shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes may, at any time, through their broker or other financial institution, combine the applicable number of shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes to form IDSs. See "Book-Entry Settlement and Clearance" below for more information on the method by which delivery and surrender of IDSs and delivery of shares of Class A common stock and our senior subordinated notes will be effected.
117
Automatic Separation
Upon the occurrence of any of the following, all outstanding IDSs will be automatically separated into the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby:
In addition, upon the exercise by us of our right to redeem shares of the Class A common stock in order to comply with regulatory foreign ownership limitations, the IDSs that represent such shares subject to redemption will automatically separate.
Following the automatic separation of the IDSs as a result of the redemption or maturity of any notes, shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes may no longer be combined to form IDSs.
Book-Entry Settlement and Clearance
The Depository Trust Company, known as DTC, will act as securities depository for the IDSs. The Transfer Agent for the Class A Common Stock and the senior subordinated notes (together with the Class A Common Stock, the "components"), represented by the IDSs will act as custodian for the components on behalf of the owners of the IDSs. The components and the IDSs will be issued in fully-registered form and will be represented by one or more global notes and global stock certificates. The IDSs will be registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co. and the components will be registered in the name of the custodian for the owners of the IDSs.
Book-entry procedures. If you intend to purchase IDSs in the manner provided by this prospectus you must do so through the DTC system or through direct and indirect participants. The participant that you purchase through will receive a credit for the applicable security on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of the applicable security, who we refer to as a "beneficial owner," is to be recorded on the participant's records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the DTC participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction.
All interests in the securities will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC. The operations and procedures of DTC's settlement system may be changed at any time.
DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, including the underwriters, banks and trust companies, clearing corporations and other
118
organizations. Indirect access to DTC's system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies. These indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules that apply to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all IDSs deposited by direct participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The components will be registered in the name of the custodian for the owners of the IDSs. The deposit of IDSs with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or the custodians effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC's records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants and custodians will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants or custodians acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the applicable security except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued.
Separation and recombination. Holders of IDSs, whether purchased in this offering or in subsequent offerings of IDSs of the same series, may, at any time after 45 days from the closing of this offering or such earlier date upon a Change of Control, as defined in the indenture, through their broker or other financial institution, separate their IDSs into the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby. Similarly, any holder of shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes may, at any time, through their broker, custodian or other financial institution, combine the applicable number of shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes to form IDSs. Any such separation or recombination will be effective as of the close of business on the trading day that DTC receives such instructions from a participant or custodians, provided that such instructions are received by 3:00 p.m., New York time, on that trading day. Any instructions received after 3:00 p.m. will be effective the next business day, if permitted by the custodian or participant delivering the instructions.
All outstanding IDSs will be automatically separated into the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby upon the occurrence of the following:
In addition, upon the exercise by us of our right to redeem shares of its Class A common stock in order to comply with regulatory foreign ownership limitations, the IDSs that represent such shares subject to redemption will automatically separate.
Any voluntary separation of IDSs and any subsequent voluntary re-combination of IDSs from components will be accomplished by entries made by DTC participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners.
119
Voluntary separation or re-combination of IDSs will be accomplished via the use of DTC's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian, or DWAC, transaction. Participants or custodians seeking to separate or re-combine IDSs will be required to enter a DWAC transaction in each of the IDS and its underlying components.
Separation will require submission of a Withdrawal-DWAC in the IDS in conjunction with a Deposit-DWAC in each of the underlying components. Upon receipt of DWAC instructions in good order, the Transfer Agent for the IDSs and its components will cause the IDSs to be debited from Cede & Co.'s account in the IDS and credited to a separation/re-combination reserve account in the IDS, and will cause an appropriate number of the components to be debited from the custodian's account in the components and credited to Cede & Co.'s account.
Re-combination of IDSs from underlying components will require submission of a Deposit-DWAC in the IDS in conjunction with a Withdrawal-DWAC in each of the underlying components. Upon receipt of DWAC instructions in good order, the Transfer Agent for the IDS and its components will cause an appropriate number of components to be debited from Cede & Co.'s account in the components and credited to the account of the custodian, and will cause an appropriate number of IDSs to be debited from the separation/re-combination reserve account and credited to Cede & Co.'s account in the IDS.
There may be certain transactional fees imposed upon you by brokers and other financial intermediaries in connection with separation or recombination of IDSs and you are urged to consult your broker regarding any such transactional fees. Any transactional fees charged by the transfer agent in connection with separation and or recombination of IDSs will be borne by us. We have been informed by DTC that the current fee per transaction per participant account for any separation or recombination is $4.50.
Conveyance of notices and other communications, including notices relating to separation and combination of IDSs, between DTC and direct participants, between direct participants and indirect participants, and between participants and beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the IDSs or the underlying components and the custodian will not consent or vote with respect to the Class A common stock and notes. Under its usual procedures, DTC would mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
We and the trustee will make any payments on the notes to DTC and we will make all payments on the Class A Common Stock to the transfer agent for the benefit of the record holders. The transfer agent will deliver these payments to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit direct participants' accounts on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the payment date. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, us or the trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
We or the trustee will be responsible for the payment of all amounts to DTC and the transfer agent. The transfer agent will be responsible for the disbursement of those payments to DTC. DTC will be responsible for the disbursement of those payments to its participants, and the participants will be responsible for disbursements of those payments to beneficial owners. We will remain responsible for any actions DTC and participants take in accordance with instructions we provide.
120
DTC may discontinue providing its service as securities depository with respect to the IDSs, the shares of our Class A common stock or our senior subordinated notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or the trustee. If DTC discontinues providing its service as securities depository with respect to the IDSs and we are unable to obtain a successor securities depository, you will automatically take a position in the component securities. If the custodian discontinues providing its service as the custodian with respect to the shares of our Class A common stock or our senior subordinated notes and we are unable to obtain a successor custodian, we will print and deliver to you certificates for those securities and you will automatically take a position in the component securities.
Also, in case we decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository) we will print and deliver to you certificates for the various certificates of Class A common stock and notes you may own.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, including DTC.
Except for actions taken by DTC in accordance with our instructions, neither we nor any trustee nor the underwriters will have any responsibility or obligation to participants, or the persons for whom they act as nominees, with respect to:
Procedures relating to subsequent issuances. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and the agreements with DTC will provide that, in the event there is a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes which are substantially identical to the senior subordinated notes offered hereby but having a different CUSIP number, each holder of senior subordinated notes or IDSs (as the case may be) agrees that a portion of such holder's senior subordinated notes (whether held directly in book-entry form, or held as part of IDSs) will be exchanged for a portion of the senior subordinated notes acquired by the holders of such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes. Consequently, following each such subsequent issuance and exchange, each holder of senior subordinated notes or IDSs (as the case may be) will own senior subordinated notes of each separate issuance in the same proportion as each other holder. Immediately following any exchange resulting from a subsequent offering, a new CUSIP number will be assigned to represent an inseparable unit consisting of the senior subordinated notes outstanding prior to the subsequent issuance and the senior subordinated notes issued in the subsequent issuance. Accordingly, the senior subordinated notes issued in the original offering cannot be separated from the senior subordinated notes issued in any subsequent offering. In addition, immediately following any exchange resulting from a subsequent offering, the IDSs will consist of the inseparable unit described above representing the proportionate principal amounts of each issuance of senior subordinated notes (but with the same aggregate principal amount as the senior subordinated note (or inseparable unit) represented by the IDSs immediately prior to such subsequent issuance and exchange) and the Class A common stock. All accounts of DTC participants or custodians with a position in the securities will be automatically revised to reflect the new CUSIP numbers. In the event of any voluntary or automatic separation of IDSs following any such automatic exchange, holders will receive the then existing components which are the Class A common stock and the inseparable senior subordinated notes unit. The automatic exchange of senior subordinated notes described above should not impair the rights any holder would otherwise have to assert a claim under applicable securities laws against us or any of our agents, including the underwriters, with respect to the full amount of senior subordinated notes purchased by such holder. However, if such senior subordinated notes are issued with OID, holders of such senior subordinated notes may not be able to recover the portion of their principal amount treated as unaccrued OID in the event of an acceleration of the senior subordinated notes or a bankruptcy of the issuer prior to the
121
maturity of the senior subordinated notes. See "Risk FactorsHolders of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes may not be able to collect their full stated principal amount prior to maturity." Immediately following any subsequent issuance we will file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K or any other applicable form disclosing the changes, if any, to the OID attributable to your senior subordinated notes as a result of such subsequent issuance.

123

Moreover, in addition to the conditions above, we will only be required to effect conversions of the Class C common stock at intervals of six months beginning with the date 181 days after the consummation of this offering, unless % of the holders of the Class C common stock request a conversion with respect to % of their shares of Class C common stock. In the event of such request, we will provide notice to all the holders of the Class C common stock of our receipt of such request through a release to any appropriate and customary news agency and, subject to the conditions above, effect the conversion within days of such request. See "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsInvestor Rights Agreement."

We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this offering and/or borrowings under the new credit facility to purchase all of the shares of senior preferred stock and Class B preferred stock received by our existing equity investors in our reorganization. Accordingly, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding after the completion of this offering.
Our board of directors has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time on terms that it may determine, to divide shares of preferred stock into one or more series and to fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights of each series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each series, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the IDSs and our shares of common stock, impeding or delaying a possible takeover and adversely affecting the voting and other rights of the holders of shares of our common stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the "business combination" or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own) 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting.
No Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Calling of Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our organizational documents prohibit stockholder action by written consent. Our amended and restated
125
certificate of incorporation will provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our bylaws will provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to the corporate secretary. To be timely, a stockholder's notice regarding (1) a stockholder's proposal must be delivered or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting or (2) a director nomination must be delivered or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not less than 60 nor more than 90 days in advance of the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided that if less than 70 days notice or prior public announcement of the date of the meeting is given, notice regarding stockholder nominations for the election of directors or notice of other stockholder proposals must be received by our corporate secretary by the later of 10 days following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made. Our bylaws will also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These provisions may impede stockholders' ability to bring matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or make nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors. The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties as directors. Our organizational documents include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as the case may be. Our organizational documents also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We will also be expressly authorized to carry directors' and officers' insurance for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.
Removal of Directors. Our organizational documents provide that no director may be removed from office without cause and without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on such matters.
Authorized but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without your approval. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Supermajority Provisions. The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is required to amend a corporation's certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater percentage. Our
126
organizational documents provide that the following provisions in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may be amended only by a vote of two-thirds or more in voting power of all the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote:
In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors the authority to amend and repeal our bylaws without a stockholder vote in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be amended only by a vote of two-thirds or more in voting power of all the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote.

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
The following is a description of the material terms of the Indenture under which our senior subordinated notes will be issued, a copy of the form of which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. It does not purport to be complete and we urge you to read the Indenture, a copy of which will be available upon request from the Company. This description is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions of certain terms therein and those terms made a part thereof by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We refer to Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. as the "Company" in this "Description of Senior Subordinated Notes" section. Capitalized terms used in this "Description of Senior Subordinated Notes" section and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in "Certain Definitions" hereafter.
General
The Notes are to be issued under an indenture, to be dated as of , 2004 (the "Indenture"), among us, the subsidiary guarantors and , as Trustee (the "Trustee").
The Notes will be issued only in fully-registered form, without coupons, represented by one or more global notes which will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. See "Description of IDSsBook-Entry Settlement and Clearance."
None of the Notes sold separately (not in the form of IDSs) in the offering may be purchased, directly or indirectly, by persons who are also (1) purchasing IDSs in this offering or (2) holders of Class B common stock or Class C common stock following our recapitalization. Furthermore, prior to the closing of the offering, each person purchasing separate Notes in the offering will be asked to make certain representations to the Company in connection with these restrictions. See "Underwriting."
Maturity and Interest
Maturity
The Notes will be unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company and will mature on , 2019.
Within 30 days prior to the maturity or redemption of the Notes, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to list or quote the outstanding shares of its Class A common stock on the securities exchange(s) or automated securities quotation system(s), if any, on which the IDSs then are listed or quoted, in addition to any other securities exchange on which the Class A common stock is then listed.
Interest
The Notes will bear interest at a rate per year of % from , 2004 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, to Holders of record at the close of business on the 5th day of each such month or the immediately preceding Business Day commencing , 2004, provided that if any such day is not a Business Day, interest shall be paid on the next Business Day.
128
Interest Deferral
Prior to , 2009, the Company will be permitted, at its election, to defer interest payments on the Notes on one or more occasions for not more than eight quarters in the aggregate; provided that:
After , 2009 the Company will be permitted, at its election, to defer interest payments on the Notes on up to four occasions with respect to up to two quarters per occasion; provided that:
On each occasion that the Company elects to defer interest, it will be required to deliver to the Trustee a copy of a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors to the effect that, based upon a good-faith determination of the Company's Board of Directors, such interest deferral is reasonably necessary for bona-fide cash management purposes, or to reduce the likelihood of or avoid a default under any Designated Senior Indebtedness. However, no interest deferral may be commenced, and any on-going deferral shall cease, if:
Deferred interest on the Notes will bear interest at the same rate as the stated rate of interest applicable to the Notes, compounded quarterly, until paid in full.
During any period that interest is being deferred and so long as any deferred interest or interest on deferred interest remains outstanding, the Company generally will not be permitted to make any payment of dividends on its capital stock or make any distribution to holders of capital stock, or make certain other Restricted Payments. See "Certain CovenantsLimitation on Restricted PaymentsDividend Suspension."
Additional Notes
The Indenture will permit issuances of additional senior subordinated notes having identical terms and conditions to the Notes offered hereby (other than issuance date) (the "Additional Notes"):
129
Any Additional Notes will vote on all matters with the Notes offered hereby. The Additional Notes will be deemed to have the same accrued current period interest, deferred interest and defaults as the Notes issued in this offering and will be deemed to have expended Payment Blockage Periods and interest deferral periods to the same extent as the Notes issued in this offering.
The Indenture will provide that, in the event there is a subsequent issuance of Additional Notes that requires a new CUSIP number, which would be required if such Additional Notes were issued with OID, each Holder of the Notes or the IDSs (as the case may be) agrees that a portion of such Holder's Notes (whether held directly in book-entry form or held as part of IDSs) will be exchanged, without any further action of such Holder, for a portion of the Additional Notes purchased by the Holders of such Additional Notes, such that, following any such additional issuance and exchange, each Holder of the Notes or the IDSs (as the case may be) owns an indivisible unit composed of the Notes and Additional Notes of each issuance in the same proportion as each other Holder, and the records of DTC and the Trustee will be revised to reflect each such exchange without any further action of such Holder. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes owned by each Holder will not change as a result of such exchange. Any Additional Notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantors on the same basis as the Notes. A subsequent issuance of Additional Notes following a prior issuance of Additional Notes which have a new CUSIP number, shall also be treated as such an exchange. See "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to United States HoldersSenior Subordinated NotesAdditional Issuances."
There is a possibility that holders of Additional Notes having original issue discount may not be able to collect the unamortized portion of the original issue discount in the event of an acceleration of the senior subordinated notes or bankruptcy of the Company as described under "Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the IDSs, the Shares of Class A Common Stock and Senior Subordinated Notes Represented by the IDSs and the Senior Subordinated Notes Offered Separately (and not in the Form of IDS),Subsequent issuances of senior subordinated notes may cause you to recognize taxable gain and/or original issue discount and may reduce your recovery in the event of bankruptcy." Any such automatic exchange should not impair the rights any holder would otherwise have to assert a claim against us or the underwriters, with respect to the full amount of Notes purchased by such holder.
As a condition to the Company's issuance of Additional Notes (other than pursuant to the over-allotment option), the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith that the Additional Notes should be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Company shall not issue Additional Notes unless it delivers to the Trustee prior to or simultaneously with such issuance an opinion of an independent advisor to the effect that, after giving effect to the Incurrence of the Indebtedness evidenced by such Additional Notes and related Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors are solvent.
Optional Redemption
The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option prior to , 2011.
On or after , 2011 and before , 2016, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, at any time in whole and from time to time in part, for cash at the redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest,
130
on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on of the years indicated below:
Year |
Percentage |
||
---|---|---|---|
2011 | % | ||
2012 | % | ||
2013 | % | ||
2014 | % | ||
2015 | % | ||
2016 and thereafter | 100.000 | % |
In addition, the Company may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, if for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Company is not, or would not be, in the opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, permitted to deduct all or a substantial portion of the interest payable on the Notes from its income.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or the portions called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Trustee funds (in U.S. Dollars) sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on, the Notes to be redeemed.
In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements). If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, so long as the Company has deposited with the depositary funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest and accrued interest thereon) on, the Notes to be redeemed.
A full or partial redemption of the Notes will result in an automatic separation of the IDSs. See "Description of IDSsAutomatic Separation."
Ranking
The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes will:
131
The Notes will also be effectively subordinated to any Secured Indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. However, payment from the money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in any defeasance trust described under "Defeasance" below is not subordinated to any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions described herein.
The indebtedness evidenced by each Guarantee will:
As of , 2004, on a pro forma basis:
Although the Indenture will contain limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness which the Company, the Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries may Incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be substantial and, in any case, such Indebtedness may be Senior Indebtedness or Secured Indebtedness. See "Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock" below.
As a holding company, the Company has no operations and, therefore, is dependent on the cash flow of its subsidiaries and other entities to meet its own obligations, including the payment of interest and principal obligations on the Notes when due. As of , 2004, on a pro forma basis, the total liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries were approximately $ million, including trade payables. Although the Indenture will limit the Incurrence of Indebtedness by and the issuance of Preferred Stock of certain of the Company's subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant qualifications.
Only Senior Indebtedness or Secured Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor will rank senior to the Notes or the relevant Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The
132
Notes and each Guarantee will in all respects rank pari passu with all other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company and the relevant Guarantor, respectively.
The Company may not pay principal of, premium (if any) or interest on, the Notes or make any deposit pursuant to the provisions described under "Defeasance" below and may not otherwise purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes (collectively, "pay the Notes") if:
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in the second preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or upon the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not pay the Notes for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee, with a copy to the Company, of written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of such defaulted Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending on the earliest to occur of the following events:
Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this paragraph and in the succeeding paragraph), unless the holders of such defaulted Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders have accelerated the maturity of such defaulted Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the Notes after the end of such Payment Blockage Period. In no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect: exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this provision, no default or event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment
133
Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company upon a total or partial liquidation or dissolution or bankruptcy reorganization of, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property or an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or any marshalling of the Company's assets or liabilities, the holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all the Senior Indebtedness before the Noteholders are entitled to receive any payment. Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Noteholders would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of the Indenture will be made to holders of the Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear. However, the Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities, and payments made from the trust described under "Defeasance" so long as, on the date or dates the respective amounts were paid into the trust, such payments were made with respect to the Notes without violating the subordination provisions described herein or any other material agreement binding on the Company, including the Credit Agreement. If a distribution is made to Noteholders that due to the subordination provisions of the Indenture should not have been made to them, such Noteholders are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.
During any period in which payments to you are prohibited or blocked in the manner described above, you may exercise any and all remedies under the Notes and the Guarantees; however, any amounts received by you with respect to the Guarantees, including any amount you may receive in any legal action to enforce the Guarantees, would be required to be turned over to the holders of the Guarantor's Senior Indebtedness.
After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of each series of Designated Senior Indebtedness (or their respective Representative) of such occurrence. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, the Company may not make any payments then due on the Notes until five Business Days after the holders or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such occurrence and, thereafter, may pay the Notes only if the subordination provisions of the Indenture otherwise permit payment at that time.
By reason of such subordination provisions contained in the Indenture, in the event of insolvency, creditors of the Company who are holders of Senior Indebtedness may recover more, ratably, than the Noteholders and, because of the obligation on the part of the Noteholders to turn over distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent required to pay Senior Indebtedness in full, trade creditors of the Company and Guarantors may recover more, ratably, than the Noteholders.
The Indenture will contain identical subordination provisions relating to each Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee.
Guarantees
Each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness under any Senior Credit Document on the Issue Date and certain future Restricted Subsidiaries (as described below), will jointly and severally irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guarantee on an unsecured senior subordinated basis (as described under "Ranking" above) the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Guarantors being herein called the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Such Guarantors will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under the Guarantees. Each Guarantee will be
134
limited in amount to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor after giving effect to all of its other contingent and fixed liabilities (including without limitation all of its obligations under or with respect to the Credit Agreement) without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness under any Senior Credit Document (other than any Restricted Subsidiary organized outside of the United States of America or that has Tangible Assets of less than $ million) to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee, payment of the Notes on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. See "Certain CovenantsFuture Guarantors" below.
Each Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall, until released in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph:
The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:
Change of Control
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Notes of any series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). In order to exercise this repurchase right, a Holder must separate its IDSs into the shares of Class A common stock and Notes represented thereby.
In the event that at the time of such Change of Control the terms of any Senior Lender Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant, then prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders provided for in the immediately following paragraph but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall:
135
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described under "Optional Redemption," the Company shall mail a notice (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.
The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture by virtue thereof.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease or transfer of "all or substantially all" the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of Notes to require the Company to repurchase such Notes as a result of a sale, lease or transfer of less than all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
Covenants Relating to IDSs
Combination of Notes and Class A Common Stock into IDSs. The Indenture will provide that as long as any Notes are outstanding, any Holder of Notes and shares of Class A common stock may, at any time and from time to time, combine these securities to form IDSs unless the IDSs have previously been automatically separated as a result of the continuance of a payment default on the Notes for 90 days, or the redemption or maturity of any Notes.
136
Certain Covenants
The Indenture will contain the following material covenants:
Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock. The Indenture will provide that (i) the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and (ii) the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and any Guarantor may issue shares of Preferred Stock if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least to 1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
The foregoing limitations will not apply to:
137
Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, other than guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition;
138
Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of the Indenture; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee of any Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantor's Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable;
and provided further that subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) of this clause (n) will not apply to any refunding or refinancing of any Senior Indebtedness;
139
For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through (s) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant and such item of Indebtedness will be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof. In addition, the Company may, at any time, change the classification of an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) to any other clause or to the first paragraph hereof; provided that the Company or Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to incur such item of Indebtedness (or portion thereof) pursuant to such other clause or the first paragraph hereof, as the case may be, at such time of reclassification. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant. As of , 2004, on a pro forma basis giving effect to this offering and the other transactions contemplated by this prospectus, as if these transactions occurred on , 2003, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would have been to 1.0.
Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
140
unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:
141
The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:
142
of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries subordinated to the Notes that is required to be repurchased or redeemed pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of such Change of Control, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any);
provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (3), (4), (5), (7), and (9), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.
For the twelve-month period ended , 2004 on a pro forma basis giving effect to this offering and the other transactions contemplated by this prospectus, as if such transactions occurred on , 2003, the Company's Interest Coverage Ratio would have been to 1.0 and the Company's Excess Cash would have been $ million.
As of the Issue Date, all of the Company's Subsidiaries other than will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of "Unrestricted Subsidiary." For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of "Investments." Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
Dividend Suspension. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture to the contrary, except as expressly permitted by clause (1) under "Limitation on Restricted Payments," the Company may not pay any dividend or distribution on its Capital Stock during a Dividend Suspension Period.
Anti-Layering. The Company will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor will incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and senior in right of payment to such Guarantor's Guarantee. This does not apply to distinctions between categories of Indebtedness that exist by reason of any Liens or Guarantees securing or in favor of some but not all of such Indebtedness or securing such Indebtedness with greater or lesser priority or with different collateral or by reason of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.
143
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
144

145
of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value),
shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this provision.
Within 365 days after the Company's or any Restricted Subsidiary's receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option to:
Pending the application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may invest such Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities. The Indenture will provide that any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph will be deemed to constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $ million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 30 Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $ million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described below. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.
If more Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements).
146
Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder's registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.
A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in part will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date unless the Company defaults in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased.
Transactions with Affiliates. The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an "Affiliate Transaction") involving aggregate consideration in excess of $ million, unless:
The foregoing provisions will not apply to the following:
147

Liens. The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset or property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, that secures any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Senior Indebtedness) unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) the Indebtedness so secured or until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien. The preceding sentence will not require the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to secure the Notes if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien.
The Indenture will provide that no Guarantor will directly or indirectly create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset or property of such Guarantor or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, that secures any Indebtedness of such Guarantor (other than Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor) unless the Guarantee of such Guarantor is equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Indebtedness subordinated on right of payment to such Guarantor's Guarantee) the Indebtedness so secured or until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien. The preceding sentence will not require any Guarantor to secure its Guarantee if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien.
Reports and Other Information. The Indenture will provide that notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, the Company will file with the Commission, documents and reports that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods specified therein; provided, however, the Company shall not be so obligated
148
to file such documents and other reports with the Commission if the Commission does not permit such filing, in which event the Company will make available such information to prospective purchasers of Notes, in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders, in each case within 15 days after the time the Company would be required to file such information with the Commission if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Future Guarantors. The Indenture will provide that the Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state or territory thereof that has total assets of more than $ , is not a Securitization Subsidiary and that guarantees any indebtedness under any Senior Credit Document to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes. Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets
The Indenture will provide that the Company may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:
149
The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under the Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the clauses contained in the third and fourth bullet points of the immediately preceding sentence:
The Indenture will further provide that, subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a Guarantor, each Guarantor will not, and the Company will not permit a Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:
Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor's Guarantee. Notwithstanding the clause contained in the third bullet point of the immediately preceding sentence, a Guarantor may merge with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Guarantor in another state of the United States or changing the form of organization of the Guarantor to a corporation, partnership or limited liability company so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Guarantor is not increased thereby.
150
Defaults
An Event of Default will be defined in the Indenture as:
The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
151
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
However, a default under clauses (iv) or (v) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (iv) or (v) hereof, as applicable, after receipt of such notice.
If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in the cross acceleration provision, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders of all Indebtedness described in the cross acceleration provision have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 Business Days of the date of such declaration, and if the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:
Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled
152
to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
The Indenture will provide that if a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Noteholders. In addition, the Company is required to deliver, to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Event of Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.
Amendments and Waivers
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding of all series affected by such amendment and any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of all series affected by such amendment then outstanding. However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no amendment may, among other things:
153
Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and Trustee may amend the Indenture to:
However, no amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of the Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.
The consent of the Noteholders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.
After an amendment under the Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to mail to Noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Noteholders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we will not be permitted to effect any amendment or modification if the effect would be to:
154
Defeasance
The Company at any time may terminate all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture and all of the obligations of the Guarantors ("legal defeasance"), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the Notes. In addition, the Company at any time may terminate its and the Restricted Subsidiaries' obligations under the covenants described under "Certain Covenants" and "Change of Control," the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Subsidiaries and the judgment default provision described under "Defaults" above and the limitations contained in the fourth bullet point of the first paragraph under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets" above ("covenant defeasance"). If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Guarantee.
The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (iv), (vi), (vii) with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or (viii) with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries under "Defaults" above or because of the failure of the Company to comply with the fourth bullet point of the first paragraph under "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets" above.
In order to exercise either defeasance option, the Company must irrevocably deposit in trust (the "defeasance trust") with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including:
Satisfaction and Discharge
The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder, when:

"Incur" means issue, assume, guarantee, incur or otherwise become liable for; provided, however, that any Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person existing at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by merger, consolidation, acquisition or otherwise) shall be deemed to be Incurred by such person at the time it becomes a Subsidiary. Solely for purposes of determining compliance with the covenant described under "Certain CovenantsLimitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock," the amortization of Indebtedness discount shall not be deemed to be the Incurrence of Indebtedness; provided that in the case of Indebtedness sold at a discount, the amount of such Indebtedness Incurred shall at all times be the accreted value of such Indebtedness.
"Indebtedness" means, with respect to any Person:

IDSs ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE RESALE
Future sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of IDSs or shares of our common stock or a significant principal amount of our senior subordinated notes in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our securities. Upon completion of this offering, we will have IDSs outstanding, in respect of shares of our Class A common stock in the aggregate and $ million aggregate principal amount of our senior subordinated notes. All of these IDSs and securities represented thereby will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, unless the IDSs or securities represented thereby are owned by "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon completion of this offering, the existing equity investors will own:
The existing equity investors will have demand and piggyback registration rights for their shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock and the IDSs for which they may be exchanged. See "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsInvestor Rights Agreement." Registration rights may not be exercised during the lock-up period. Furthermore, all subsequent issuances of IDSs shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement.
We may issue shares of our common stock or senior subordinated notes, which may be in the form of IDSs, or other securities from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions and investments.

In addition, we may also grant registration rights covering those shares of our common stock or senior subordinated notes and IDSs, if applicable, or other securities in connection with any such acquisitions and investments.
177
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion, insofar as it relates to matters of United States federal income tax law (and, to the extent specified, United States federal estate tax law) or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitutes the opinion of our counsel, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, as to the material United States federal income tax considerations to a United States holder or, as the case may be, a non-United States holder, in each case as defined below, arising from the purchase, ownership and disposition of IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock. That opinion is based in part on facts described in this prospectus and on various other factual assumptions, representations and determinations. Any alteration of such facts could adversely affect such opinion. This discussion is based on the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority, published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis. No statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of IDSs or instruments similar to IDSs for United States federal income tax purposes, and we have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following discussion. As a result, we cannot assure you that the IRS or the courts will agree with the tax consequences described herein. A different treatment from that discussed below could adversely affect the amount, timing and character of income and gain realized by a holder in respect of an investment in IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock. In the case of non-United States holders, a different treatment could subject such holders to the same United States federal withholding tax or estate tax consequences with respect to the senior subordinated notes as they will be subject to with respect to the Class A common stock. Payments to non-United States holders will not be grossed up for or in respect of any such tax. In addition, a different treatment could result in our losing all or part of the deduction for interest that we pay on the senior subordinated notes.
This discussion deals only with holders that purchase IDSs or senior subordinated notes at their original issuance at their original issue price and that will hold IDSs, senior subordinated notes and Class A common stock as "capital assets" (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code). This discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of United States federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular holders, in light of their personal investment circumstances or status, such as banks, insurance companies, certain other financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, and taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax. This discussion also does not address IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock held as part of a hedge, straddle, integrated, synthetic security or conversion transaction, or situations in which the "functional currency" of a United States holder (as defined below) is not the United States dollar. This discussion does not address the tax treatment of senior subordinated notes that we may issue in any subsequent issuance, including in connection with an exchange of Class B common stock or Class C common stock for IDSs; the classification of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes as debt or equity for United States federal income tax purposes will depend on the facts and circumstances at the time of the subsequent issuance and thereafter. Moreover, except to the extent specified with respect to United States federal estate tax, the effect of any applicable United States federal estate or gift, state, local or non-United States tax laws is not discussed.
The following discussion is not a substitute for careful tax planning and advice. Investors considering the purchase of IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax consequences arising under the estate or gift tax laws or the laws of any state, local or non-United States taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.
178
The term "United States holder" means a holder of IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock that is, for United States federal income tax purposes:
The term "non-United States holder" means a holder of IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock that is, for United States federal income tax purposes:
In the case of a holder of IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock that is classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of the IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock to a partner of the partnership generally will depend upon the tax status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock, then you should consult your own tax advisors.
United States Holders
IDSs
Allocation of Purchase Price
It is the opinion of our counsel, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, that the acquisition of an IDS in this offering should be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as an acquisition of separate securities, the share of our Class A common stock and the senior subordinated note represented by the IDS, rather than as a purchase of a single integrated security, and, by purchasing the IDS, you will agree to that treatment. However, there is no authority that directly addresses the tax treatment of securities with terms substantially similar to the terms of the IDSs (that is, securities structured as a unit consisting of senior subordinated notes and common stock). In light of the absence of direct authority, neither we nor our counsel can conclude with certainty that the IDSs should be so treated. If that treatment is not respected, then the acquisition of IDSs may be treated as an acquisition only of our stock, in which case the senior subordinated notes would be treated in effect as stock rather than as debt for United States federal income tax purposes. See "Senior Subordinated NotesCharacterization." The remainder of this discussion assumes that the acquisition of IDSs will be treated as an acquisition of shares of our Class A common stock and the senior subordinated notes, rather than as a purchase of a single integrated security.
The purchase price of each IDS will be allocated between the share of Class A common stock and the senior subordinated note comprising the IDS in proportion to their respective fair market values at the time of purchase. This allocation will establish your initial tax basis in each of the share of Class A common stock and the senior subordinated note. We will report the initial fair market value of each share of Class A common stock as $ and the initial fair market value of each $ principal amount of senior subordinated notes as $ , and by purchasing an IDS, you will agree to that allocation. If this allocation is not respected by the IRS or the courts, then it is possible that the senior subordinated notes will be treated as having been issued with original issue discount or amortizable
179
bond premium. You generally would have to include original issue discount in income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income, and would be able to elect to amortize bond premium over the remaining term of the senior subordinated notes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the allocation of the purchase price of the IDSs described above will be respected.
Separation and Combination
If you separate your IDSs into the shares of Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes represented thereby or combine the applicable number of shares of Class A common stock and principal amount of senior subordinated notes to form IDSs, then you will not recognize gain or loss upon the separation or combination. You will continue to take into account items of income or deduction otherwise includible or deductible with respect to the shares of Class A common stock and the senior subordinated notes, and your tax basis in and holding period with respect to the shares of Class A common stock and the senior subordinated notes will not be affected by the separation or combination.
Senior Subordinated Notes
Characterization
Our counsel, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, is of the opinion that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as separate from the Class A common stock and as debt for United States federal income tax purposes, and based upon that opinion, we believe that the senior subordinated notes should be so treated. These opinions are based on certain representations and determinations, which are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. These opinions are not binding on the IRS or the courts, which could disagree. We will treat the senior subordinated notes as debt for United States federal income tax purposes, and, by acquiring senior subordinated notes, directly or in the form of an IDS, you agree likewise to treat the senior subordinated notes as our indebtedness for all purposes.
The determination as to whether an instrument is treated as debt or as equity for United States federal income tax purposes is based on all of the facts and circumstances. There is no clear statutory definition of debt and the characterization of an instrument as debt or as equity is governed by principles developed in decided court cases, which analyzes numerous factors that are intended to identify the formal characteristics of, and the economic substance of, the holder's interest in the issuer. Our determination that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as separate from the Class A common stock and as debt for United States federal income tax purposes, and the opinions of counsel to this effect referred to above, rely upon certain factual representations and determinations made by us and an independent appraisal firm. The representations and determinations by us and/or the independent appraisal firm will include representations and determinations substantially to the effect that:
180
commercially reasonable under the circumstances and is comparable to similarly situated debt issuers in similar industries;
In light of the representations and determinations described above and their relevance to several of the factors analyzed in the case law, and taking into account the facts and circumstances relating to the issuance of the senior subordinated notes (including the separate issuance of senior subordinated notes in this offering), we (and our counsel) are of the view that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as separate from the Class A common stock and as debt for United States federal income tax purposes. As indicated above, there is no authority that directly addresses the tax treatment of instruments with terms substantially similar to the senior subordinated notes or offered under circumstances such as this offering (that is, senior subordinated notes offered as a unit with common stock). In light of this absence of direct authority, neither we nor our counsel can conclude with certainty that the senior subordinated notes will be treated as debt for United States federal income tax purposes. The consequences to United States holders and non-United States holders described below assume that the senior subordinated notes will be respected as debt. However, no ruling on this issue has been requested from the IRS and, thus, there can be no assurance that the classifications of the senior subordinated notes as debt will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained if challenged.
If the senior subordinated notes were treated as equity rather than as debt for United States federal income tax purposes, then stated interest paid on the senior subordinated notes generally would be treated as a dividend to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, but those dividends likely would not qualify for the special 15% rate described below. We would not be permitted to deduct interest on the senior subordinated notes for United States federal income tax purposes. In addition, as discussed below under "Non-United States HoldersClass A Common Stock," non-United States holders could be subject to withholding or estate taxes with respect to the senior subordinated notes in the same manner as they will be with respect to the Class A common stock. Our inability to deduct interest on the senior subordinated notes could materially increase our taxable income and, thus, our United States federal income tax liability. This would reduce our after-tax cash flow and could materially and adversely impact our ability to make interest and dividend payments on the senior subordinated notes and the Class A common stock.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the determination that the interest rate on the senior subordinated notes represents an arm's length interest rate. If the IRS were successful in such a challenge, then any excess of the interest paid on the senior subordinated notes over the deemed arm's length amount would not be deductible by us and could be recharacterized as a dividend payment instead of an interest payment for United States federal income tax purposes. In such case, our taxable income and, thus, our United States federal income tax liability could be materially increased. In addition, as discussed below under "Non-United States HoldersClass A Common Stock," non-United States holders could be subject to withholding taxes with respect to the excess amount paid on the senior subordinated notes in the same manner as they will be with respect to dividends paid on the Class A common stock. If the interest rate paid on the senior subordinated notes were determined to be less than the arm's length rate, then the senior subordinated notes could
181
be treated as issued with original issue discount, which original issue discount you would be required to include in income over the term of the senior subordinated notes.
Payments of Interest; Deferral of Interest
Subject to the discussion of deferred interest immediately below, stated interest on the senior subordinated notes will be taxable to you as ordinary income, at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.
Under applicable Treasury regulations, a "remote" contingency that stated interest will not be timely paid will be ignored in determining whether a debt instrument is issued with original issue discount, referred to as OID. Although there is no authority that directly describes when a contingency such as the interest deferral option described in "Description of the Senior Subordinated NotesTerms of the NotesInterest Deferral" should be considered "remote", based on our financial forecasts, we believe that the likelihood of deferral of interest payments on the senior subordinated notes is remote within the meaning of the Treasury regulations relating to OID. Based on the foregoing determination made by us, our counsel is of the opinion that, although the matter is not free from doubt because of the lack of direct authority, the option to defer interest should not cause the senior subordinated notes to be considered to be issued with OID at the time of their original issuance.
Under the Treasury regulations, if the option to defer any payment of interest on the senior subordinated notes were determined not to be a "remote" contingency, or if, as discussed above, the interest rate on the senior subordinated note was determined to be less than the arm's length interest rate by more than a de minimus amount, or if any payment of interest actually were deferred, then the senior subordinated notes would be treated as issued with OID at the time of issuance or at the time of such occurrence, as the case may be. At such time, all stated interest on the senior subordinated notes thereafter would be treated as OID as long as the senior subordinated notes remained outstanding. In such event:
Consequently, during a deferral period, a United States holder would be required to continue to include OID in gross income as it accrued, even though we would not make any actual cash payments on the senior subordinated notes.
No rulings or other interpretations have been issued by the IRS that address the meaning of the term "remote" as used in the Treasury regulations relating to OID, and it is possible that the IRS could take a position contrary to our position. Accordingly, our counsel is unable to opine with certainty to this issue.
Sale, Exchange or Retirement
Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of an IDS, you will be treated as having sold, exchanged, retired or disposed of the senior subordinated note that constitutes a portion of
182
the IDS. Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a senior subordinated note, you will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the portion of the proceeds allocable to, or received for, the senior subordinated note (less amounts received in respect of accrued and unpaid interest, which will be treated as a payment of interest for United States federal income tax purposes) and your adjusted tax basis in the senior subordinated note. As described above under "United States HoldersIDSsAllocation of Purchase Price," your tax basis in the senior subordinated note generally will be the portion of the purchase price of your IDS allocable to the senior subordinated note or your purchase price of the note, as the case may be. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long term capital gain or loss if you have held the IDSs for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes will permit us, from time to time, to issue additional senior subordinated notes having terms that are substantially identical to those of the senior subordinated notes offered hereby. Such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes may be issued with OID (for example, as a result of changes in prevailing interest rates) if they are issued at a discount to their face value. The United States federal income tax consequences to you of the subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID (or any issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter) are unclear. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and the agreements with DTC will provide that, in the event that there is a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes having terms substantially identical to the senior subordinated notes offered hereby, each holder of senior subordinated notes or IDSs, as the case may be, agrees that a portion of such holder's senior subordinated notes will be automatically exchanged for a portion of the senior subordinated notes acquired by the holders of such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes. Consequently, immediately following each such subsequent issuance and exchange, each holder of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes, held either as part of IDSs or separately, and each holder of existing senior subordinated notes or IDSs, as the case may be, will own an inseparable unit composed of notes of each separate issuance in the same proportion as each other holder. Because a subsequent issuance will affect the senior subordinated notes in the same manner, regardless of whether those senior subordinated notes are held as part of IDSs or separately, the combination of senior subordinated notes and shares of Class A common stock to form IDSs, or the separation of IDSs, should not affect your tax treatment.
The aggregate stated principal amount of senior subordinated notes owned by each holder will not change as a result of such subsequent issuance and exchange. However, under applicable law, it is possible that the holders of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes (to the extent issued with OID) will not be entitled to a claim for the portion of their principal amount that represents unaccrued OID in the event of an acceleration of the senior subordinated notes or a bankruptcy proceeding occurring prior to the maturity of the senior subordinated notes. Whether the receipt of subsequently issued senior subordinated notes in exchange for previously issued senior subordinated notes in this automatic exchange constitutes a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes depends on whether the subsequently issued senior subordinated notes are viewed as differing materially from the senior subordinated notes exchanged. Due to a lack of applicable guidance, it is unclear whether the subsequently issued senior subordinated notes would be viewed as differing materially from the previously issued senior subordinated notes for this purpose and, accordingly, our counsel is unable to opine as to this issue. Consequently, it is unclear whether an exchange of senior subordinated notes for subsequently issued senior subordinated notes results in a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes, and it is possible that the IRS might successfully assert that such an exchange should be treated as a taxable exchange.
183
If the IRS successfully asserted that an automatic exchange following a subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes is a taxable exchange, then an exchanging holder generally would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the subsequently issued senior subordinated notes received and such holder's adjusted tax basis in the senior subordinated notes exchanged. See "Senior Subordinated NotesSale, Exchange or Retirement." It is also possible that the IRS might successfully assert that any such loss should be disallowed under the wash sale rules, in which case the holder's basis in the subsequently issued senior subordinated notes would be increased to reflect the amount of the disallowed loss. In the case of a taxable exchange, a holder's initial tax basis in the subsequently issued senior subordinated notes received in the exchange would be the fair market value of such senior subordinated notes on the date of exchange (adjusted to reflect any disallowed loss) and a holder's holding period in such senior subordinated notes would begin on the day after such exchange.
Regardless of whether the exchange is treated as a taxable event, such exchange may result in an increase in the amount of OID, if any, that you are required to accrue with respect to senior subordinated notes. Following any subsequent issuance of senior subordinated notes with OID (or any issuance of senior subordinated notes thereafter) and resulting exchange, we (and our agents) will report any OID on any subsequently issued senior subordinated notes ratably among all holders of senior subordinated notes and IDSs, and each holder of senior subordinated notes and IDSs will, by purchasing senior subordinated notes or IDSs, as the case may be, agree to report OID in a manner consistent with this approach. Consequently, holders that acquire senior subordinated notes in this offering may be required to report OID as a result of a subsequent issuance (even though they purchased senior subordinated notes having no OID). This will generally result in such holders reporting more interest income over the term of the senior subordinated notes than they would have reported had no such subsequent issuance and exchange occurred, and any such additional interest income will be reflected as an increase in the tax basis of the senior subordinated notes, which will generally result in a capital loss (or reduced capital gain) upon a sale, exchange or retirement of the senior subordinated notes. However, the IRS may assert that any OID should be reported only to the persons that initially acquired such subsequently issued senior subordinated notes (and their transferees). In such case, the IRS might further assert that, unless a holder can establish that it is not such a person (or a transferee thereof), all of the senior subordinated notes held by such holder will have OID. Any of these assertions by the IRS could create significant uncertainties in the pricing of IDSs and senior subordinated notes and could adversely affect the market for IDSs and senior subordinated notes.
It is possible that senior subordinated notes that we issue in a subsequent issuance will be issued at a discount to their face value and, accordingly, may have "significant OID" and thus be classified as "applicable high yield discount obligations." If any senior subordinated notes were so classified, then a portion of the OID on those senior subordinated notes could be nondeductible by us and the remainder would be deductible only when paid. This treatment would have the effect of increasing our taxable income and may adversely affect our cash flow available for interest payments and distributions to our equityholders.
Due to the complexity and uncertainty surrounding the United States federal income tax treatment of subsequent issuances and exchanges of senior subordinated notes, prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax consequences to them in light of their particular circumstances.
184
Class A Common Stock
Dividends
The gross amount of dividends paid to you on our Class A common stock will be treated as dividend income to you, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). To the extent, if any, that the amounts of dividends paid to you on a share of our Class A common stock exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of your tax basis in the shares of Class A common stock and thereafter as capital gain. Pursuant to recently enacted legislation, if you are an individual, then dividends that we pay to you through 2008 will be subject to tax at long-term capital gain rates (up to 15%), provided that certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied.
Sale or Exchange
Upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of an IDS, you will be treated as having sold, exchanged or disposed of the share of Class A common stock constituting a portion of the IDS. Upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a share of our Class A common stock (other than, in some circumstances, a sale of shares to us), you will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the portion of the proceeds allocable to your share of Class A common stock and your tax basis in the share of Class A common stock. As described above under "United States HoldersIDSsAllocation of Purchase Price," your tax basis in the share of Class A common stock generally will be the portion of the purchase price of your IDS allocable to the share of Class A common stock. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Class A common stock for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax
In general, we, our paying agents and certain other intermediaries must report certain information to the IRS with respect to payments of principal and interest on the senior subordinated notes, payments of dividends on the Class A common stock, and payments of the proceeds of the sale of senior subordinated notes, Class A common stock or IDSs to certain non-corporate United States holders. The payor (which may be us or an intermediary) will be required to impose backup withholding tax, currently at a rate of 28%, if (i) the payee fails to furnish a taxpayer identification number ("TIN") to the payor or otherwise to establish an exemption from backup withholding tax, (ii) the IRS notices the payor that the TIN furnished by the payee is incorrect, (iii) there has been a notified payee underreporting described in Section 3406(c) of the Code or (iv) the payee has not certified under penalties of perjury that it has furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified the payee that it is subject to backup withholding tax under the Code. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding tax rules from a payment to a United States holder will be allowed as a credit against that holder's United States federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.
Non-United States Holders
The following discussion applies only to non-United States holders, and assumes that no item of income, gain, deduction or loss derived by the non-United States holder in respect of the senior subordinated notes, Class A common stock or IDSs at any time is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business. Special rules may apply to certain non-United States holders, such as:
185
Such non-United States holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the United States federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.
Senior Subordinated Notes
Characterization
As discussed above under "United States HoldersSenior Subordinated NotesCharacterization," we believe that the senior subordinated notes should be treated as separate from the Class A common stock and as debt for United States federal income tax purposes. However, no ruling on this issue has been requested from the IRS and thus there can be no assurance that this position will be sustained if challenged by the IRS. If the senior subordinated notes were treated as equity rather than as debt for United States federal income tax purposes, then the senior subordinated notes would be treated in the same manner as shares of Class A common stock are treated, as described below under "Non-United States HoldersClass A Common StockDividends," and, in particular, payments of interest on the senior subordinated notes would be subject to United States federal withholding tax at rates up to 30%. Payments to non-United States holders will not be grossed-up on account of any such taxes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the senior subordinated notes as debt for United States federal income tax purposes will be respected.
Stated Interest
Generally, subject to the discussion of backup withholding tax below, interest paid on the senior subordinated notes to a non-United States holder will be exempt from United States withholding tax under the "portfolio interest exemption"; provided that (i) the holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote, (ii) the holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related to us actually or constructively through stock ownership, (iii) the holder is not a bank that acquired the senior subordinated notes in consideration for an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and (iv) either (a) the holder provides an applicable IRS Form W-8 (or a suitable substitute form) signed under penalties of perjury that includes its name and address and certifies as to its non-United States status in compliance with applicable law and regulations or (b) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business holds the senior subordinated notes and provides a statement to us or our agent under penalties of perjury in which it certifies that an applicable Form W-8 (or a suitable substitute) has been received by it from the non- United States holder or qualifying intermediary and furnishes a copy to us or our agent. The statement requirement referred to in the preceding sentence may be satisfied with other documentary evidence in the case of a senior subordinated note held in an offshore account or through certain foreign intermediaries.
Sale, Exchange or Retirement
Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of an IDS, you will be treated as having sold, exchanged, retired or disposed of the senior subordinated note that constitutes a portion of
186
the IDS. Any gain realized upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of senior subordinated notes generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax, unless you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition and certain other conditions are met.
United States Federal Estate Tax
Senior subordinated notes beneficially owned by an individual who at the time of death is a non-United States holder should not be subject to United States federal estate tax, provided that any payment of interest to such individual on the notes would be eligible for exemption from the United States federal withholding tax under the rules described above under "ÌNon-United States Holders Senior Subordinated Notes Stated Interest" without regard to the statement requirement described therein.
Class A Common Stock
Dividends
Dividends paid to you generally will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you wish to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate for dividends (and to avoid backup withholding tax as discussed below), you will be required to:
Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-United States holders that are entities rather than individuals. If you are eligible for a reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty, you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
Sale or Exchange
Upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of an IDS, you will be treated as having sold, exchanged or disposed of the share of Class A common stock constituting a portion of the IDS. You generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax with respect to gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of shares of our Class A common stock, unless:
We believe that we are not, and we do not anticipate becoming, a United States real property holding corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.
United States Federal Estate Tax
Shares of our Class A common stock held by an individual non-United States holder at the time of death will be included in such holder's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
187
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax
The amount of interest and dividends paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to such payments will be reported annually to the IRS. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest, dividends and withholding of tax may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Backup withholding tax may be required with respect to payments made by us or any paying agent to you, unless the statement described in "Non-United States HoldersSenior Subordinated NotesStated Interest" has been received (and we or the paying agent do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person).
Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding tax will apply to the proceeds of a sale of IDSs, senior subordinated notes or Class A common stock within the United States or conducted through United States-related financial intermediaries unless the statement described in "Non-United States HoldersSenior Subordinated NotesStated Interest" has been received (and we or the paying agent do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person) or you otherwise establish an exemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.
188
The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of the IDSs by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, "Similar Laws"), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of such plans, accounts and arrangements (each, a "Plan").
General Fiduciary Matters
ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries or other interested parties of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of a Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such a Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such a Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such a Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the Plan.
In considering an investment in the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary's duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.
Prohibited Transaction Issues
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are "parties in interest," within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code.
Whether or not our underlying assets are deemed to include "plan assets," as described below, the acquisition and/or holding of the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes by a Plan with respect to which we, the underwriter, the trustee or the guarantor is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor (the "DOL") has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or "PTCEs," that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers, although there can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.
189
Because of the foregoing, the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing "plan assets" of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.
Representation
Accordingly, by acceptance of the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes, as applicable, will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire and hold the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the purchase and holding of the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.
The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase and holding of the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes.
Plan Asset Issues
ERISA and the Code do not define "plan assets." However, regulations (the "Plan Asset Regulations") promulgated under ERISA by the DOL generally provide that when a Plan acquires an equity interest in an entity that is an "operating company", or the equity interest is a "publicly-offered security" (in each case as defined in the Plan Asset Regulations), such equity interest will be deemed a "plan asset," but the underlying assets of the entity will not be deemed "plan assets." The Plan Asset Regulations define an "equity interest" as any interest in an entity, other than an instrument that is treated as indebtedness under applicable local law and which has no substantial equity features. Therefore, we anticipate that shares of our common stock would be considered an equity interest and our notes should be treated as indebtedness. Under the Plan Asset Regulations, an "operating company" is defined as "an entity that is primarily engaged, directly or through a majority owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in the production or sale of a product or service other than the investment of capital." We believe that we are an "operating company" for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
Alternatively, under the Plan Asset Regulations, a "publicly offered security" is a security that is (a) "freely transferable", (b) part of a class of securities that is "widely held," and (c)(i) sold to the Plan as part of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an executive registration statement under the Securities Act, as amended, and the class of securities to which such security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act, as amended, within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering of such securities to the public has occurred, or (ii) is part of a class of securities that is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act. In connection with this offering, we are effecting such a registration of the IDSs and the separate senior subordinated notes under the Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Plan Asset Regulations provide that a security is "widely held" only if it is part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and one another. A security will not fail to be "widely held" because the number of independent investors falls below 100 subsequent to the initial offering thereof as a result of events beyond the control of the issuer. It is anticipated that the IDSs and the separate senior
190
subordinated notes will be "widely held" within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, although no assurance can be given in this regard. The Plan Asset Regulations provide that whether a security is "freely transferable" is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all the relevant facts and circumstances. It is anticipated that the IDSs and the separate senior subordinated notes will be "freely transferable" within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
Plan Asset Consequences
If we cease to be an operating company for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations and the IDSs or the separate senior subordinated notes cease to be publicly-offered securities within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, our assets could be deemed to be "plan assets" under ERISA, unless, at such time, another exemption is available under the Plan Asset Regulations. This would result, among other things, in (i) the application of the prudence and other fiduciary responsibility standards of ERISA to investments made by us, and (ii) the possibility that certain transactions in which we might seek to engage could constitute "prohibited transactions" under ERISA and the Code.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Banc of America Securities LLC are acting as joint book-running managers of the offering and as representatives of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, each underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to that underwriter, the number of IDSs and the principal amount of separate notes set forth opposite the underwriter's name.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the IDSs and the separate notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the IDSs (other than those covered by the overallotment option described below) if they purchase any of the IDSs and they are obligated to purchase all of the separate notes if any separate notes are purchased.
The purchase by the underwriters of the IDSs is conditioned on the concurrent purchase by the underwriters of the separate notes and vice versa, and the purchase by the underwriters of both the IDSs and the notes is conditioned on the completion of the reorganization.
The underwriters propose to offer some of the IDSs directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and some of the IDSs to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed $ per IDS. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed $ per IDS on sales to other dealers. If all of the IDSs are not sold at the initial offering price, the representatives may change the public offering price and the other selling terms.
The underwriters propose to offer the separate notes at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
We have granted to the underwriters an option, until the 12th day following the closing of this offering, to purchase up to additional IDSs at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise the option solely for the purpose of covering overallotments, if any, in connection with the IDS offering. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional IDSs approximately proportionate to that underwriter's initial purchase commitment.
We, all our executive officers and directors and all of our existing stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, we and they will not dispose of or hedge any IDSs, our Class A common stock, or the notes, including the separate notes, our Class B common stock, our Class C common stock, or any securities convertible into IDSs, our Class A common stock, our Class B common stock, our Class C common stock, or the notes, including the separate notes, or securities exchangeable for IDSs, our Class A common stock, our Class B common stock, our Class C common stock or the notes, including the separate notes. All the
192
representatives of the underwriters may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.
We have been advised by the representatives that the representatives currently intend to make a market in the separate notes and, upon any separation of the IDSs, the notes and the Class A common stock. However, the representatives are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market-making, if commenced, at any time and without notice. Moreover, if and to the extent that the representatives make a market in any such securities, there can be no assurance that such market would provide sufficient liquidity for any holder of any such securities.
Each underwriter has represented, warranted and agreed that:
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the IDSs or the separate notes. Consequently, the initial public offering price for the IDSs and the separate notes was determined by negotiations among us and the representatives of the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price were our record of operations, our current financial condition, our future prospects, our markets, the economic conditions in and future prospects for the industry in which we compete, our management and currently prevailing general conditions in the equity securities markets, including current market valuations of publicly traded companies considered comparable to our company. We cannot assure you, however, that the prices at which the IDSs or the separate notes will sell in the public market after this offering will not be lower than the initial public offering price or that an active trading market in the IDSs or the separate notes will develop and continue after this offering.
We have applied to list our IDSs listed on the under the symbol " ."

Each investor purchasing separate notes in this offering must not purchase IDSs in this offering and must not concurrently enter into any plan or pre-arrangement whereby it would (1) acquire any IDSs or shares of our capital stock or (2) transfer the separate notes to any holder of IDSs or shares of our capital stock. In addition, each person receiving IDSs or shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock in connection with the Transactions must not purchase separate notes in this offering.
Furthermore, prior to the closing of this offering, each person purchasing separate notes in this offering will be required to represent to us that:
In connection with the offering, the representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell IDSs in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of IDSs in excess of the number of IDSs to be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate short position. "Covered" short sales are sales of IDSs made in an amount up to the number of IDSs represented by the underwriters' overallotment option. In determining the source of IDSs to close out the covered syndicate short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of IDSs available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase IDSs through the overallotment option. Transactions to close out the covered syndicate short position involve either purchases of the IDSs in the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of the overallotment option. The underwriters may also make "naked" short sales of shares in excess of the overallotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing IDSs in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the IDSs in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids for or purchases of IDSs in the open market while the offering is in progress.
194
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the representatives repurchase IDSs originally sold by that syndicate member in order to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases.
Any of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the IDSs. They may also cause the price of the IDSs to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.
We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, not including the underwriting discount, will be $ .
Because affiliates of each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Banc of America Securities LLC are lenders under our credit facility, and will receive more than 10% of the net proceeds of this offering when we repay that facility, they may be deemed to have a "conflict of interest" with us under Rule 2710(c)(8) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. When a NASD member with a conflict of interest participates as an underwriter in a public offering, that rule requires that the initial public offering price may be no higher than that recommended by a "qualified independent underwriter," as defined by the NASD. In accordance with this rule, has assumed the responsibilities of acting as a qualified independent underwriter. In its role as a qualified independent underwriter, has performed a due diligence investigation and participated in the preparation of this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. will not receive any additional fees for serving as qualified independent underwriter in connection with this offering. We have agreed to indemnify against liabilities incurred in connection with acting as a qualified independent underwriter, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The underwriters have performed investment banking and advisory services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The underwriters may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business. Affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Banc of America Securities LLC are lenders under our existing credit facility and as such will receive a portion of the proceeds of this offering, which will be used to repay amounts outstanding under the existing credit facility, and affiliates of each of the underwriters have also provided commitments under our new revolving credit facility.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The representatives will allocate IDSs to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, IDSs may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell IDSs to online brokerage account holders.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
On February 6, 2004, Prestige Brands International, LLC (the "Company"), a newly formed entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige International Holdings, LLC ("Prestige Holdings"), through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Medtech Holdings, Inc. ("Medtech") and The Denorex Company ("Denorex") (collectively the "Predecessor Company") (the "Medtech Acquisition"). Prestige Holdings is controlled by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC ("GTCR"). On March 5, 2004, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of The Spic and Span Company ("Spic and Span") (the "Spic and Span Acquisition"). On April 6, 2004, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. ("Bonita Bay") (the "Bonita Bay Acquisition"). The Medtech, Spic and Span and Bonita Bay Acquisitions are further discussed in Note 2.
The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter, personal care brands and household cleaning brands to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and hospitals primarily in the United States.
Basis of Presentation
The Medtech Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. As a result, the combined Medtech and Denorex assets and liabilities have been adjusted to fair value as of February 6, 2004, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". For financial reporting purposes, Medtech and Denorex, which were under common control and management, are considered the predecessor entities. Accordingly, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, represent the combined historical financial statements of Medtech and its subsidiaries and Denorex ("predecessor basis"). The balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect those purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Medtech Acquisition ("successor basis") and the Spic and Span Acquisition. The Bonita Bay Acquisition was also accounted for as a purchase transaction subsequent to March 31, 2004. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Substantially all of the Company's cash is held by two banks located in Wyoming and California, respectively. The Company does not believe that, as a result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
F-9
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To minimize credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained; however collateral is not required.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Machinery | 5 years | |
Computer equipment | 3 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill
The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition transactions is classified as goodwill. Through March 31, 2002, goodwill was amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years. Effective April 1, 2002, the Predecessor Company ceased amortization of goodwill as described in Note 7. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but performs certain fair value tests of the carrying value at least annually.
Other Long-Term Assets
Other long-term assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For amortizable intangible assets, amortization is computed on the straight-line method as follows:
Trademarks | 15 - 30 years | (predecessor basis) | ||
Trademarks | 5 - 30 years | (successor basis) |
F-10
The Company and Predecessor Company have incurred debt issuance costs in connection with their long-term debt. These costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.
Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually.
Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer discounts and returns at the time of sale.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Slotting fees associated with products are recognized as a reduction of sales. Under slotting arrangements, the retailers allow the Company's products to be placed on the stores' shelves in exchange for slotting fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock or units and the exercise price of the option.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The tax effects of the Company's operations are passed directly to the members. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for income or loss generated by Prestige Brands International, LLC. Medtech, Denorex and Spic and Span are taxed as corporations. The Company and Predecessor Company account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
F-11
Derivative Instruments
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), requires companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in an international operation.
The Company and Predecessor Company have designated their derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)," FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the Company will be required to apply FIN 46R as of the date it first becomes involved with the entity. FIN 46R is effective for the Company for entities created before December 31, 2003, for the period ending March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under SFAS No. 150, an issuer is required to classify financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares and financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation, as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2004. On November 7, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. This deferral is expected to remain in effect while these provisions are further evaluated by the FASB. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Effective March 28, 2003, the Predecessor Company sold substantially all of the assets of Pecos Pharmaceutical, Inc.

7. GOODWILL
Effective April 1, 2002, the Predecessor Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 requires that companies perform periodic evaluations of potential impairment of goodwill, with the initial assessment to be completed during the first six months of the year in which SFAS 142 is first applied. The Predecessor Company performed an evaluation of its goodwill, and determined that an impairment charge equal to the goodwill carrying amount of $18,252 ($11,785 net of tax benefit of $6,467) should be recorded as of April 1, 2002 related to the Predecessor Company's Pecos reporting unit. As provided in SFAS 142, this impairment charge was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The change in carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:
Predecessor Basis | ||||
Balance as of March 31, 2002 | $ | 18,252 | ||
Transition impairment adjustment recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of April 1, 2002 | (18,252 | ) | ||

Goodwill acquired in the Medtech Acquisition | 55,594 | |||

As a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, no amortization of goodwill has been recorded since April 1, 2002. For the year ended March 31, 2002, the Predecessor Company recorded amortization of goodwill of $962, net of income tax benefit of $518.

On March 1, 2001, the Predecessor Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank to provide $55,000 in debt ("Term Commitments A and B") and a $10,000 revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line", or together with Term Commitments A and B, the "Senior Debt"). Simultaneously, the Predecessor Company issued $21,500 of subordinated notes payable (the "Senior Subordinated Notes").
F-22
The Senior Debt was collateralized by substantially all the Predecessor Company's assets. Term Commitments A and B bore interest at the Predecessor Company's option of either prime (4.25% at March 31, 2003) plus a variable margin or LIBOR (1.38% at March 31, 2003) plus a variable margin and were scheduled to mature on March 1, 2006 and March 1, 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2003, the applicable interest rates on Term Commitments A and B were 4.88% and 5.38%, respectively. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.
The Revolving Line was available until March 1, 2006, with the available borrowing amount based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories. At March 31, 2003, the Predecessor Company was eligible to borrow $6,400 on the Revolving Line, of which there was $1,500 outstanding. The Revolving Line bore interest at the Predecessor Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranged from 1.75% to 3.5% based on the level of outstanding debt. The Predecessor Company was also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Line. At March 31, 2003, the applicable rate was 0.50%. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.
The Senior Subordinated Notes were scheduled to mature on August 31, 2008, and originally bore interest at 15%. On September 11, 2002, the note agreement was amended to require interest at 17%. In accordance with the terms of the notes, the Predecessor Company has made quarterly interest payments at 15% and has accrued the remaining 2% interest, increasing the principal balance of the notes by $627 and $251 as of February 5, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The Predecessor Company accounted for this modification as an extinguishment and reissuance of debt in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments." Accordingly, the Predecessor Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $685 for the year ended March 31, 2003. In conjunction with the purchase of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Predecessor Company issued 1,048,798 warrants to purchase Class A-1 Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expire on March 1, 2013. The Predecessor Company initially recorded a discount of $442 on the Senior Subordinated Notes. The unamortized discount was expensed during the year ended March 31, 2003. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.
The Senior Debt and Senior Subordinated Notes included various restrictive covenants that required the Predecessor Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Predecessor Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2003.
The Predecessor Company was subject to an excess cash calculation in connection with the Senior Debt. In the event the Predecessor Company had excess cash as defined in the credit agreement, the Predecessor Company was required to remit a payment to the lender within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year. The excess cash payment was applied pro rata to the last payments due on Term Commitments A and B. The calculation indicated that an excess cash payment of $1,211 was required for the year ended March 31, 2003; accordingly, the required excess cash payment has been included in the current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2003.
F-23
In connection with the acquisition of the Denorex assets (Note 2), on February 7, 2002, the Predecessor Company issued $21,000 of notes payable to American Home Products Corporation. The notes were payable in three equal installments of $7,000 on December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The amounts payable were non-interest bearing, which required the Predecessor Company to determine the fair value of the notes at the date of the transaction by discounting future payments using an imputed interest rate of 9%. The resulting difference between the future payments and their present value was recorded as a discount and amortized as interest expense using the interest method over the term of the note.
On January 29, 2003, the terms of the note were modified, requiring the Predecessor Company to pay $623 on March 31, 2003, $616 on June 30, 2003, $607 on September 30, 2003, $12,598 on December 31, 2003 and $7,000 on December 31, 2004. As a result of the modification, in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments," the Predecessor Company calculated a new effective interest rate of 8.7% based on the carrying amount of the original notes and the revised cash flows. The remaining discount was being amortized as interest expense using the interest method over the remaining term of the note. The outstanding borrowings on the facility were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Prestige Acquisition financing discussed above.
Estimated future principal payments associated with long-term debt at April 6, 2004 are as follows:

The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of leading household cleaning brands sold primarily through supermarkets and mass merchandise outlets in the United States.
On March 5, 2004 the Company was acquired (Note 18) by Prestige Household Brands, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Brands International, LLC (the "Acquiring Company").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Substantially all of the Company's cash is held by two banks, located in Wyoming and California, respectively. The Company does not believe that, as a result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To minimize credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained; however collateral is not required
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Machinery | 7 years | |
Computer equipment | 3 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
F-41
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 or the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.
Goodwill
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 142 applies to all goodwill and identified intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Under this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, the Company ceased amortization of its goodwill January 1, 2002. The Company evaluated the remaining $1,433 of unamortized goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002 and 2003, and determined that no impairment charge should be recorded.
The following table reflects what the Company's net income (loss) would have been for the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001, exclusive of amortization expense related to goodwill:
|
Period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001 |
||
---|---|---|---|
Net income | $ | 1,778 | |
Add back: goodwill amortization | 45 | ||
Adjusted net income (loss) | $ | 1,823 | |
Other Long-Term Assets
Other long-term assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis as follows:
Trademarks | 30 years | |
Artwork cylinders | 2 years | |
Deferred financing costs | 1-3 years |
Other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds fair value. No impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 or the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.
F-42
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer returns, discounts and allowances at the time of sale.
Advertising and Promotion Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Slotting fees associated with products are recognized as a reduction of sales. Under slotting arrangements, the retailers allow the Company's products to be placed on the stores' shelves in exchange for slotting fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock and the exercise price of the option. Through December 31, 2003, no stock options have been granted.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001, have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, shareholders' equity or net income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosure about guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity's product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The
F-43
disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN 46. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for the Company for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after December 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to December 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

The Company incurred net losses of $(577) and $(1,471) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and as discussed in Note 8 has significant debt payments due in 2004. As discussed in Note 1, the Company was acquired on March 5, 2004. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Acquiring Company paid off the Company's long term debt (Note 8). As a result of the acquisition, there will be a significant reduction in interest and general administrative expenses. As a result, the Company expects to generate positive cash flow from operations during 2004 and future years. The Company will have no required principal payments on the debt related to the acquisition until 2009.
3. ACQUISITION
On January 24, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets from The Procter and Gamble Company (the "Acquisition"). Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired the assets in exchange for $20,000 in cash, $15,000 of notes payable and 7,647 shares of Class A common stock valued at $7. Direct acquisition costs were $1,024. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $36,031.

On July 1, 2002, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank to obtain a $4,000 revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line"). The Revolving Line expired on December 31, 2003. The Company paid $175 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving line during the year ended December 31, 2002.
In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), on January 24, 2001, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with The Procter and Gamble Company to provide $15,000 in debt, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9%. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to make voluntary prepayments of the note, which originally matured on January 24, 2004.
F-47
On December 17, 2003, the terms of the Credit Agreement were modified, to require principal payments of $650 on January 31, 2004, $1,500 on June 15, 2004, $1,500 on January 31, 2005, $1,500 on June 15, 2005, $1,500 on January 31, 2006, and $2,981 on June 15, 2006. However, if the Company pays $7,631 of the principal balance and all accrued interest prior to June 30, 2004, the Credit Agreement provides that no additional payments will be required. The Company accounted for this modification of the Credit Agreement as an extinguishment and re-issuance of debt in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments." Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt $23 which is included in other expense on the statement of operations. The Company also recorded $68 of deferred financing costs incurred as a result of the modification.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 6,647 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to The Procter and Gamble Company. The warrant was originally exercisable over a three-year period ending February 15, 2004. In connection with the modification of the Credit Agreement, the warrant became fully vested on December 17, 2003. The warrant expires on June 15, 2010.
In connection with the modification of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued The Procter and Gamble Company a warrant to purchase 1,500 shares of Class L Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If the scheduled payments under the Credit Agreement are not made, the warrant becomes exercisable on a pro-rata basis over the term of the Credit Agreement. No value was assigned to the warrant because the Company determined that the likelihood of the warrant becoming exercisable was remote.
9. SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS
In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), on January 24, 2001, the Company issued $10,000 of subordinated notes payable to certain of the Company's shareholders. These subordinated notes payable bore interest at a fixed rate of 8% and were originally due January 24, 2004. In accordance with the terms of the subordination agreement, no payments of principal or interest could be made on these notes until the borrowings under the Credit Agreement with The Procter and Gamble Company have been paid in full. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company had accrued $1,548 and $748 of interest on these notes.
On December 17, 2003, the Company issued 12,503 shares of Class L-1 Common Stock in exchange for the subordinated notes payable to shareholders of $10,000 and accrued interest of $2,502, along with 12,503 shares of Class A Common Stock.
On January 24, 2001, the Company issued a $500 short-term note payable to the Company's principal shareholder to finance working capital. This note was repaid during the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Reverse Stock Split
On December 17, 2003, the Company's articles of incorporation were amended to create a new class of stock (Class L-1 Common Stock) and to affect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. As a result, the Company has authorized 20,000 Class L-1 Common Shares, 23,000 Class L Common Shares and 275,000 Class A Common Shares (together the "Common Stock"). Prior to the reverse stock split, the Company had authorized 2,500,000 Class L Common Shares and 27,500,000 Class A Common Shares. All share data reflected in these financial statements is shown after giving retroactive effect to the 1-for-100 reverse stock split.
Voting
The holders of the Class L-1, Class L and Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each holder of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which each share of Class L-1 or Class L Common Stock is convertible at the time of such vote.
Dividends and Liquidation Preference
The Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock has a liquidation and distribution preference of $1,000 per share plus amounts sufficient to generate an internal rate of return of 8% per year (aggregate Class L-1 liquidation value of $12,544 at December 31, 2003; aggregate Class L liquidation value of $13,882 at December 31, 2003). The holders of Class L-1 Common Stock are entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference has been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Class L or Class A Common Stock. The holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference has been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Class A Common Stock.
F-51
Subsequently, the remaining distributions will be divided among the shareholders of the Class L-1, Class L and Class A Common Stock pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that for distribution purposes, each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is convertible at the time of such distribution.
Conversion
Each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is convertible to Class A Common Stock by a vote of the Board of Directors upon a sale of the Common Stock. In addition, the outstanding shares of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock automatically convert to Class A Common Stock immediately prior to an underwritten public offering.
Each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock converts to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the remaining unpaid liquidation and distribution preference per share by the sale price (or public offering price) per Class A Common Share.
14. EMPLOYEE STOCK AWARDS
During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company sold its employees 20,760 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2003
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) market and manufacture branded over-the-counter consumer products. The Company's products are sold through mass merchandisers, independent and chain drug stores, drug wholesalers and food stores in the United States and in various markets throughout the world. The Company acquired all of the assets related to the Prell, Chloraseptic and Comet brands from The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") effective November 1, 1999, March 30, 2000 and October 2, 2001, respectively. Additionally, the Company acquired all of the assets related to the Clear eyes/Murine brands from Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") on December 30, 2002 (see Note 3). The results of operations of the acquired products have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income from the dates of acquisition.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the customer. The Company has recorded revenue generated under the Comet and the Clear eyes/Murine domestic transitional services agreements (see Note 3) on a gross basis, as the Company was the primary obligor under these agreements. In addition, sales of Chloraseptic to certain customers still serviced by P&G are recorded on a gross basis, as the Company is the primary obligor.
Revenue has been recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes/Murine brands under the marketing transition period and prior to satisfaction of regulatory requirements (see Note 3) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as the Company was not the primary obligor under this arrangement.
It is the Company's policy across all classes of customers that all sales are final. As is common in the consumer products industry, products are returned by the customer due to a number of reasons. Examples include products damaged in transit, discontinuance of a particular size or form of product, shipping error, etc. The Company maintains and evaluates an allowance for damages since all other types of returns are not significant. Actual returns are charged against the allowance upon the receipt of the product or deduction from remittance by the customer.
F-60
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect on customer trade receivables. The Company establishes a general allowance of approximately 1% of gross trade receivables in conjunction with a specific allowance for receivables with known collection problems due to circumstances such as liquidity or bankruptcy. Collection problems are identified using an aging of receivables analysis based on invoice due dates. Items that are deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables.
Inventories
Inventories, comprised of finished goods, are priced at the lower of cost (purchased cost for finished goods purchased from outsourced manufacturers) or market. The Company's method for determining inventory cost approximates the first-in, first-out method. In addition, the Company recognizes shipping and handling expenses as a component of cost of sales.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Trademarks and Other Purchased Product Rights
The cost of a Chloraseptic noncompete agreement was capitalized and amortized over its useful life, estimated at 3 years. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, trademarks were amortized over 20 years. All intangible assets subject to amortization have been fully amortized as of December 31, 2003.
The provisions of SFAS No. 142, which were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002, required the Company to discontinue the amortization of the cost of intangible assets with indefinite lives and to perform certain fair value-based tests of the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company discontinued the amortization of the cost of these intangible assets.
F-61
The discontinuation of this amortization favorably affected net income in fiscal 2002 by $6,687,155, net of income tax benefit. In addition, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are now tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company obtained independent appraisals to determine the fair value of the intangible assets at December 31, 2002 and compared their fair values with the carrying values, noting that no impairment had occurred.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluated whether events and circumstances had occurred that indicated the remaining useful life of intangible assets might warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicated that intangible assets should have been evaluated for possible impairment, the Company used an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets over the remaining lives of the assets in measuring whether long-lived assets were recoverable. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performed annual impairment tests and determined no reevaluation was warranted using fair values as determined by product brand contribution margin.
The changes in the carrying amount of the Clear eyes/Murine Brand's trademark are as follows for 2003 and 2002:

While the full purchase price for the Clear eyes/Murine worldwide business was paid at the December 30, 2002 closing, transfer of the international assets could not occur until the appropriate infrastructure and regulatory filings were completed. Inventory purchased in connection with these international closings required adjustment to the original purchase price allocation based on the inventory net realizable value less costs of disposal and a reasonable profit thereon. Since there was no additional purchase price to allocate to the inventory, an allocation reducing trademarks resulted for the international closings occurring in 2003. The adjustment to the trademark was $743,956.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company has incurred debt issuance costs in connection with its long-term debt. These costs are capitalized and amortized using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The yearly amortization of debt issuance cost is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs was $2,039,300, $1,003,209 and $1,504,738 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $3,433,598 and $1,394,297 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Advertising Expenses
The cost of advertising is expensed in the fiscal year in which the related advertising takes place. Production and communication costs are expensed in the period in which the related advertising begins running. Advertising expense for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $11,216,236, $4,732,800 and $4,610,613, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company's international subsidiaries are translated at rates of exchange in effect on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the year. The resulting translation adjustment was not material to the Company's consolidated balance sheets or income statements.
Stock Option Plan
At December 31, 2003, the company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 11. The Company accounts for this plan under the intrinsic value method, as defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based

Derivative Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), requires companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in an international operation.
The Company has designated its derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Company's cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value due to the variable rates associated with this financial instrument. For the interest rate swap and collar agreements, the carrying amount was determined using fair value estimates from third parties.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment of accounts receivable is affected by conditions or occurrences within the retail industry. As a result, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial position but generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company's largest customer accounted for 25.2%, 19.4%, and 20.2% of sales in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
F-64
No other customer exceeded 10% of the Company's sales in the respective years. Short-term cash investments are placed with high credit-quality financial institutions or in low-risk, liquid instruments. No losses have been experienced on such investments.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Impact of Recently Issued Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") finalized EITF Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products (EITF 00-25). Under the provisions of EITF 00-25, the Company is required to classify certain marketing and selling expenses as reductions of net sales. The results of operations and the financial position of the Company, therefore, are not affected. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-25 during the year ended December 31, 2001. EITF Issue Nos. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives (EITF 00-14) and EITF 00-25 have been codified in EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.
On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for their employee stock-based awards using the fair value method. However, the disclosure provisions are required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they utilize the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB 25. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 during the year ended December 31, 2002.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS No. 145). The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 145 requires the Company to include gains and losses on extinguishment of debt as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt. The Company is also required to reclassify any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented. SFAS No. 145 also provides accounting standards for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions and various other technical corrections.
F-65
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for derivative instruments embedded in certain contracts, entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS No. 150). The statement modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. The new statement requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in a company's statement of financial position. This statement is effective for the year-end period beginning after December 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows other than classification of warrants in the accompanying balance sheet.
3. ACQUISITION OF BRANDS
Clear eyes/Murine brands
On December 30, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of the Clear eyes/Murine eye and ear-care product lines from Abbott for approximately $110,700,000, including acquisition costs of approximately $1,097,000. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statements of income includes the results of operations of the Clear eyes/Murine brands since the date of acquisition. This acquisition included the worldwide rights to manufacture, sell and market the Clear eyes/Murine products plus related intellectual property and certain manufacturing equipment. The purchase price of $110,700,000 was allocated $3,816,000 to inventory, $4,088,000 to property and equipment and $102,796,000 to the Clear eyes/Murine Brands trademark, which was assigned an indefinite life. This was a preliminary allocation which is adjusted as additional international country regulatory requirements are met (See Note 2) and international assets are transferred.
Under a domestic transitional services agreement, Abbott continued to receive and process customer orders, ship products to customers, and collect and process accounts receivable through March 31, 2003. Revenue has been recorded on a gross basis under the domestic transitional services agreement for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Abbott continued to manufacture the product for the Company under a manufacturing agreement that extends through December 31, 2005.
The Company will also continue to rely on Abbott to market, sell and distribute the Clear eyes/ Murine products in the remaining international countries until the Company satisfies various international regulatory requirements, new distributors are in place and any applicable marketing permits are transferred. During the marketing transition period, Abbott paid the Company a net royalty equal to 38% of international sales of Clear eyes/Murine products in these countries through December 31, 2003, with the net royalty to be reduced to 19% of international sales from January 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004. Revenue has been recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes/Murine brands during the marketing transition period for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Abbott will pay all costs and expenses related to the manufacture, marketing and sales of the Clear eyes/Murine products in these countries. As the regulatory requirements are met and the
F-66
Company assumes responsibility for the sales and marketing effort in a country, the royalty arrangement with respect to such country will terminate and the Company will record these international sales directly on a gross basis, as well as the costs and expenses associated with these sales. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company satisfied regulatory requirements in seven additional countries.
Comet Brand
Effective October 2, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Comet brand from P&G for approximately $144,800,000, including acquisition costs of $2,800,000. This acquisition included the worldwide rights (except in certain Eastern European countries and Russia) to manufacture, sell and market Comet products plus related intellectual property. The entire purchase price was allocated to trademark, which was assigned an indefinite useful life. Under a transitional services agreement, P&G continued to receive and process customer orders, ship products to customers, and collect and process accounts receivable through April 30, 2002. Revenue has been recorded on a gross basis under the transitional services agreement for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Since April 30, 2002, P&G has continued to manufacture Comet products under a standard contract manufacturing agreement.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Effective July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $16,500,000 of the balance under the Tranche A note payable. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.8% in exchange for variable rate payments based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreement expires on July 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the swap was ineffective and $330,402 was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company redesignated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Therefore, the change in fair value of this hedge is no longer recorded through earnings but through other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders equity.
Effective March 29, 2002, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar agreement with a bank covering $41,237,500 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreement requires the Company to pay a variable rate based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR with a floor of 2.83% and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate collar agreement expires on July 31, 2004.
Effective March 14, 2003, the Company entered into two zero-cost collar agreements with two different banks covering $44,230,000 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreements require the Company to pay a variable rate based on the US three month LIBOR with a floor of 1.33% on $17,692,000 and 1.35% on $26,538,000 and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate collar agreements expire on March 31, 2006.
The fair value of all these hedges is $590,654 and $1,238,360 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Because the hedges qualify as effective for financial reporting purposes, the change in fair value of the hedges of $393,472 and $547,085, net of income taxes of $254,224, and $360,873 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is recorded as a reduction of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
9. WARRANTS
In connection with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes payable on December 30, 2002, the Company issued warrants to the holders of the subordinated notes for 1,489,999 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 and expire on December 30, 2012. On December 30, 2002, the amount allocated to the warrants of $2,684,569 was recorded as a discount to the senior subordinated notes payable and a credit to common stock warrants. On February 25, 2003, in connection with a partial repayment of the senior subordinated notes, the number of warrants was reduced to 1,307,261, resulting in the value of the warrants being reduced to $2,355,330. These warrants contain certain "put" rights that allow the holder to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the warrants or shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants at a price equal to the higher of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense per share or the fair market value per share of common stock on such date less the cost to exercise the warrants. The "put" repurchase period commences June 30, 2009 and terminates on December 30, 2012. The "put" repurchase period may be accelerated upon the occurrence, not prior to December 30, 2003, of giving notice by the Company of an optional prepayment of the senior subordinated notes payable. In accordance with the debt agreement, all
F-70
prepayments must be done on a pro-rata basis to all note holders. The Company has certain "call" rights during the period from December 30, 2009 to December 30, 2012 to repurchase all of the warrants or shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants from the holders of such warrants for the repurchase price defined above. The Company accretes the value of the warrants up to the highest "put" repurchase price through June 30, 2009.
In connection with the issuance of bridge loans on October 2, 2001, the Company issued warrants to the loanholders for 900,000 shares of the Company's Class A or Class B common stock. The warrants were assigned a value of $1,662,000 as of the date of issuance, which was recorded as an increase in common stock in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. The Bridge Loan contained provisions to issue additional warrants if certain repayment dates were not met. Under these provisions, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 328,000 shares of Class A or Class B common stock. The warrants were assigned a value of $418,000 as of the date of issuance, which was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2001. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.01 and were to expire on October 2, 2008. The total value assigned to the warrants was $2,080,000, of which $1,662,000 was charged to debt discount and $418,000 was charged to interest expense. The Bridge Loan was repaid on December 17, 2001, and accordingly, the difference between the net carrying amount of the debt (including the unamortized debt discount), and the cost of extinguishment was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,604,300 in the accompanying consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2001. The warrants remain outstanding after extinguishment of the debt.
10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During November and December 2001, the Company repurchased 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock from a stockholder that were issued in connection with the Comet acquisition. These shares were repurchased at the original issuance price of $1.40 per share for a total purchase price of $14,000,000. The Company subsequently resold 8,937,500 of shares to new stockholders for total proceeds of $14,000,000.

12. STOCK OPTION PLAN
Effective December 3, 1999, the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), under which 5 million shares of Class A common stock are authorized and reserved for use in the Plan. The Plan allows the issuance of nonqualified or incentive stock options at an exercise price determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Options covering one-half of the authorized number of shares are subject to Pool A Agreements, and options covering the remaining half are subject to Pool B Agreements. Options granted under Pool A Agreements become exercisable over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under Pool B Agreements become exercisable on the eighth anniversary of the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Accelerated vesting may occur under Pool B Agreements due to a change in control and based on attainment of certain return on investment levels during the year in which the change of control takes place.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan under APB 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized.

The Company has elected SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the grant date using the Minimum Value method, with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants during the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001: weighted average risk-free interest rates of 2.01%, 4.80%, and 5.24%; expected life of eight years; and no expected dividends.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In Thousands)
1. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in the registration statement. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain amounts for 2003 have been reclassified to be consistent with the 2004 presentation.
Based upon the Company's review of new accounting standards released during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company did not identify any standard requiring adoption that would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements for the periods reported.
Stock Option Plan
At March 31, 2004, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for this plan under the intrinsic value method, as defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), to stock-based employee compensation for the three months ended March 31:

147,630 | |||
The outstanding borrowings under Tranche A, Tranche B and the senior subordinated notes payable were repaid on April 6, 2004 in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company (Note 8).
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
Effective July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $16,500 of the balance under Tranche A note payable. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.8% in exchange for variable rate payments based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreement expires on July 31, 2004.
Effective March 29, 2002, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar agreement with a bank covering $41,240 of the combined balance under Tranche A and B notes payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates.

F-83
collar agreement expires on March 31, 2006. The liability for the interest rate collar agreement covering $26,540 of the debt balance was paid in March 2004.
The fair value of the open hedges was $133 at March 31, 2004 and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Because the hedges qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the hedges is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In connection with the acquisition of the Company on April 6, 2004 (Note 8), the liability for the remaining derivative instrument was paid.
5. Related-Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a receivable of $1,000 plus accrued interest of $202 due from a certain stockholder related to the stockholder's purchase of the Company's Class A common stock.

The remaining $770 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.45% and is due and payable on March 30, 2004, or upon termination of employment with the Company. The amount was treated as a reduction of stockholders' equity. On April 6, 2004, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company, the receivable balance was paid in full.
As part of the Company's Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement, certain investors are entitled to an annual management fee for advisor services rendered. Management fees totaled $173 and $160 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

While it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, the eventual resolution of these claims and actions outstanding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware General Corporation Law. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties. The certificates of incorporation of the Delaware registrants include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for liability for breach of duty of loyalty; for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful dividends and stock repurchases); or for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit.
The certificates of incorporation of the Delaware registrants provide that these registrants must indemnify their directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.
The other registrants are organized in Virginia and California. Indemnification of such registrants' directors and officers provided by applicable law, the registrants' organizational documents, by contract or otherwise are substantially similar to that provided to the directors and officers of the Delaware registrants.
The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The registrants maintain insurance to protect themselves and their directors and officers against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not they would have the power to indemnify them against such expense, liability or loss under applicable law.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The registrant was formed in June 2004 and has not issued any securities. Prior to the completion of the offering of the securities being registered hereby, the registrant will issue an aggregate of shares of the registrant's senior preferred stock, shares of the registrant's Class B preferred stock, shares of the registrant's Class B common stock and shares of the registrant's Class C common stock in connection with its reorganization. This issuance will be made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and will not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. The persons and entities who will receive such securities have represented that each of them is an "accredited investor" (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) to acquire these securities for investment only and not with a view for sale or in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends will be affixed to any share certificates issued. All recipients have adequate access through their relationship with the registrant to information about the registrant.
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
Reference is made to the attached Exhibit Index, which is incorporated by reference herein.
None.
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that
1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
2. For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by the registrant against such liabilities, other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

If a majority in number representing at least three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the corporation. NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter enacted that further limits the liability of a director. TENTH: The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advance is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise. The Corporation may also indemnify any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. As used herein, the term "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit , or proceeding. ELEVENTH: No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders or between the Corporation and any person (as used herein, "person" means other corporation, partnership, association, firm, trust, joint venture, political subdivision, or instrumentality) or other organization in which one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders are directors, officers, or stockholders, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her, or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this certificate of incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation. I, the undersigned, being the incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, do make this certificate, hereby declaring that this is my act and deed and that the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of December, 2003. /S/ KATHRYN TRUETT ---------------------------------- Kathryn Truett, Incorporator

Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. ARTICLE II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof. SECTION 2. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request therefor, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (l0%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE.

If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. 2 A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. 3 SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting.

SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced.

SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

The officer having charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 6. QUORUM. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, and entitled to vote at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place. SECTION 7. ADJOURNED MEETINGS. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. SECTION 8. VOTE REQUIRED. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. SECTION 9. VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by the certificate of incorporation of the corporation or any - 2 - amendments thereto and subject to Section 3 of Article VI hereof, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held by such stockholder. SECTION 10. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of stockholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the secretary or a person designated by the secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular. SECTION 11. ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation's principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested provided, however, that no consent or consents delivered by certified or registered mail shall be deemed delivered until such consent or consents are actually received at the registered office. All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof. - 3 - ARTICLE III DIRECTORS SECTION 1.

Such right to dissent shall not apply to any member who voted in favor of such action. SECTION 12. ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. - 5 - ARTICLE IV OFFICERS SECTION 1.

ARTICLE V INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS SECTION 1. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation - 8 - denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 3. ARTICLE NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 4. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V. SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. SECTION 6. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors. - 9 - SECTION 7. CONTRACT RIGHTS. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. SECTION 8. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE VI CERTIFICATES OF STOCK SECTION 1. FORM. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares of a specific class or series owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or - 10 - registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation. SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. SECTION 3. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 4. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. - 11 - SECTION 5. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. SECTION 6. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof. SECTION 7. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR STOCK. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 1. DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. SECTION 2. CHECKS, DRAFTS OR ORDERS. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. SECTION 3. CONTRACTS. The board of directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, of the corporation to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver any - 12 - instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. SECTION 4. LOANS. The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation.

A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

ARTICLE V INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS SECTION 1. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation - 8 - denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 3. ARTICLE NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 4. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V. SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. SECTION 6. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors. - 9 - SECTION 7. CONTRACT RIGHTS. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. SECTION 8. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE VI CERTIFICATES OF STOCK SECTION 1. FORM. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares of a specific class or series owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or - 10 - registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation. SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. SECTION 3. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.

If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. - 11 - SECTION 5.

If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. SECTION 6. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof. SECTION 7. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR STOCK. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series.

FRACTIONAL SHARES, ETC.

SPECIAL MEETINGS. A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, if any, the president or the board of directors. A special meeting of the stockholders shall be called by the secretary, or in the case of the death, absence, incapacity or refusal of the secretary, by an assistant secretary or some other officer, upon application of a majority of the directors. Any such application shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Any such call shall state the place, date, hour, and purposes of the meeting. c. PLACE OF MEETING. All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at such place within or without the State of Delaware as may be determined from time to time by the chairman of the board, if any, the president or the board of directors.

Except as otherwise provided by law, a written notice of each meeting of stockholders stating the place, day and hour thereof and, in the case of a special meeting, the purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less then ten nor more than sixty days before the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat, and to each stockholder who, by law, by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws, is entitled to notice, by leaving such notice with him or at his residence or usual place of business, or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to such stockholder at his address as it appears in the records of the corporation. Such notice shall be given by the secretary, or by an officer or person designated by the board of directors, or in the case of a special meeting by the officer calling the meeting. As to any adjourned session of any meeting of stockholders, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment was taken except that if the adjournment is for more than thirty days or if after the adjournment a new record date is set for the adjourned session, notice of any such adjourned session of the meeting shall be given in the manner heretofore described. No notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjourned session thereof need be given to a stockholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting or such adjourned session by such stockholder, is filed with the records of the meeting or if the stockholder attends such meeting without objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders or any adjourned session thereof need be specified in any written waiver of notice. e. QUORUM OF STOCKHOLDERS. At any meeting of the stockholders a quorum as to any matter shall consist of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except where a larger quorum is required by law, by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present. If a quorum is present at an original meeting, a quorum need not be present at an adjourned session of that meeting. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of any corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. f. ACTION BY VOTE. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to any office shall elect to such office and a majority of the votes properly cast upon any question other than an election to an office shall decide the question, except when a larger vote is required by law, by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws. No ballot shall be required -2- for any election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election. g. ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders for or in connection with any corporate action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Each such written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless written consents signed by a number of stockholders sufficient to take such action are delivered to the corporation in the manner specified in this paragraph within sixty days of the earliest dated consent so delivered. If action is taken by consent of stockholders and in accordance with the foregoing, there shall be filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders the writing or writings comprising such consent. If action is taken by less than unanimous consent of stockholders, prompt notice of the taking of such action without a meeting shall be given to those who have not consented in writing and a certificate signed and attested to by the secretary that such notice was given shall be filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders. In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, if such action had been voted upon by the stockholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning a vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given under Section 228 of said General Corporation Law and that written notice has been given as provided in such Section 228. h. PROXY REPRESENTATION. Every stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a stockholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, objecting to or voting or participating at a meeting, or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder or by his attorney-in-fact. No -3- proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. The authorization of a proxy may but need not be limited to specified action, provided, however, that if a proxy limits its authorization to a meeting or meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise specifically provided such proxy shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any adjourned session but shall not be valid after the final adjournment thereof. i. INSPECTORS. The directors or the person presiding at the meeting may, and shall if required by applicable law, appoint one or more inspectors of election and any substitute inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

A regular meeting of the directors may be held without call or notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders. g. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the board of directors may be held at any time and at any place within or without the State of Delaware designated in the notice of the meeting, when called by the chairman of the board, if any, the president, or by one-third or more in number of the directors, reasonable notice thereof being given to each director by the secretary or by the chairman of the board, if any, the president or any one of the directors calling the meeting. h.

NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law hereafter enacted that further limits the liability of a director. TENTH: The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this certificate of incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation.

No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES.

REGISTERED OFFICE. The registered office of the Corporation required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to be maintained in the State of Delaware, shall be the registered office named in the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, or such other office as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law. Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. Article II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof. SECTION 2. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request therefor, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be -2- given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such -3- provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order. Unless the chairman of the meeting of stockholders shall otherwise determine, the order of business shall be as follows: (a) Calling of meeting to order. (b) Election of a chairman and the appointment of a secretary if necessary. (c) Presentation of proof of the due calling of the meeting. (d) Presentation and examination of proxies and determination of a quorum. (e) Reading and settlement of the minutes of the previous meeting. (f) Reports of officers and committees.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Article III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (provided that no decrease in the number of directors which would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board of Directors). If the Board of Directors makes no such determination, the number of directors shall be the number set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board of Directors and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS; ORDER OF BUSINESS. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board of Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by the President, or by resolution of the Board of Directors. -5- SECTION 4. FIRST MEETING. Each newly elected Board of Directors may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders. Notice of such meeting shall not be required. At the first meeting of the Board of Directors in each year at which a quorum shall be present, held next after the annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall proceed to the election of the officers of the Corporation. SECTION 5. REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Notice of such regular meetings shall not be required. SECTION 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS.

Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VIII, Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. SECTION 7. REMOVAL. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If the directors of the Corporation are divided into classes, any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify. SECTION 9. COMPENSATION. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. -6- SECTION 10. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING; TELEPHONE CONFERENCE MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. Article IV COMMITTEES SECTION 1. DESIGNATION; POWERS. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.

Any such designated committee may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. In addition to the above such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE; MEETINGS; QUORUM. Any committee designated pursuant to Section 1 of this Article shall choose its own chairman, shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when requested, shall fix its own rules or procedures, and shall meet at such times and at such place or places as may be provided by such rules, or by resolution of such committee or resolution of the Board of Directors. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption by it of any resolution. SECTION 3. SUBSTITUTION OF MEMBERS. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member. Article V OFFICERS SECTION 1. NUMBER, TITLES AND TERM OF OFFICE.

Article VI INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, -10- criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation -11- to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. SECTION 6. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. SECTION 7. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. -12- Article VII CAPITAL STOCK SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President shall cause to be issued to each stockholder one or more certificates, under the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof if the Board of Directors shall have provided for such seal, and signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by such stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. SECTION 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. SECTION 3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. SECTION 4. REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. -13- SECTION 5. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, Stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. CORPORATE SEAL. The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal, containing the name of the Corporation. The Secretary shall have charge of the seal (if any). If and when so directed by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, duplicates of the seal may be kept and used by the Treasurer or by the Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. SECTION 3. NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of these bylaws, said notice shall be deemed to be sufficient if given (i) by telegraphic, cable or wireless transmission or (ii) by deposit of the same in a post office box in a sealed prepaid wrapper addressed to the person entitled thereto at his post office address, as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such transmission or mailing, as the case may be. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. -14- SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors. SECTION 6. RELIANCE UPON BOOKS, REPORTS AND RECORDS. Each director and each member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of account or reports made to the Corporation by any of its officers, or by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by any such committee, or in relying in good faith upon other records of the Corporation. Article IX AMENDMENTS If provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend and repeal from time to time bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to amend or repeal such bylaws as adopted or amended by the Board of Directors. -15-

Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. Article II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof. SECTION 2. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request there-for, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. -2- SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock -3- entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order. Unless the chairman of the meeting of stockholders shall otherwise determine, the order of business shall be as follows: (a) Calling of meeting to order. (b) Election of a chairman and the appointment of a secretary if necessary. (c) Presentation of proof of the due calling of the meeting. (d) Presentation and examination of proxies and determination of a quorum. (e) Reading and settlement of the minutes of the previous meeting. (f) Reports of officers and committees.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Article III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (provided that no decrease in the number of directors which would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board of Directors). If the Board of Directors makes no such determination, the number of directors shall be the number set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS.

SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. Article IV COMMITTEES SECTION 1. DESIGNATION; POWERS. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so -7- determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.

Article VI INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, -11- individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. SECTION 6. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. -12- SECTION 7. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Article VII CAPITAL STOCK SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President shall cause to be issued to each stockholder one or more certificates, under the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof if the Board of Directors shall have provided for such seal, and signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by such stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or ail the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. SECTION 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. -13- SECTION 3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. SECTION 4. REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. SECTION 5. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. CORPORATE SEAL. The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal, containing the name of the Corporation. The Secretary shall have charge of the seal (if any). If and when so directed by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, duplicates of the seal may be kept and used by the Treasurer or by the Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. SECTION 3. NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of these bylaws, said notice shall be deemed to be sufficient if given (i) by telegraphic, cable or wireless transmission or (ii) by deposit of the same in a post office box in a sealed prepaid wrapper addressed to the person entitled thereto at his post office address, as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such transmission or mailing, as the case may be. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. -14- Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors. SECTION 6. RELIANCE UPON BOOKS, REPORTS AND RECORDS. Each director and each member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of account or reports made to the Corporation by any of its officers, or by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by any such committee, or in relying in good faith upon other records of the Corporation. Article IX AMENDMENTS If provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend and repeal from time to time bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to amend or repeal such bylaws as adopted or amended by the Board of Directors. -15-

Neither the business to be conducted nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting must be set forth in any waiver of notice, except as provided by Corp. C. Sec. 601(f).

SECOND: The amendment to the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation set forth in the following resolution was approved by a majority of the Corporation's Board of Directors and was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 241 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: "RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended by striking Article FOURTH in its entirety and replacing therefor: 'FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is, 3,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of two classes: (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, par value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). The designations and the respective powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions of the Preferred Stock are as follows: 1. Provisions Relating to the Common Stock. (a) DIVIDENDS. Subject to the prior rights and preferences, if any, applicable to shares of the Preferred Stock or any class or series thereof, each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder of record thereof to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Corporation with respect to any of such class of stock. (b) LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in the net assets of the Corporation remaining after any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after payment or provision for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and payment of the liquidation preference of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation having such a preference (specifically including the Preferred Stock), distributing such proceeds pro-rata among the holders of Common Stock. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation, a sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets as an entirety, or any purchase or redemption of capital stock of the Corporation of any class, shall not be regarded as "liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation" within the meaning of this Section l(b). (c) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as may otherwise be expressly required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, each share of Series A Common Stock shall entitle the registered holder thereof to one vote on all matters brought before the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote. 2. Provisions Relating to the Preferred Stock. (a) DIVIDENDS. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), each January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 1999, on which any Preferred Stock shall be outstanding shall be deemed to be a "Dividend Date." The holders of shares of Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") shall be entitled to receive from and after the date of issuance, if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative semi-annual dividends at the rate of 8% per annum (for purposes of this Paragraph (a), the "Preferred Dividend Rate") on each Preferred Share and no more, calculated on the Liquidation Preference (as hereinafter defined) on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months plus actual number of days elapsed. Dividends on each Preferred Share shall accumulate, without interest, and be cumulative from and after the date of original issuance of such share. The initial Liquidation Preference per share of Preferred Stock shall be $12.580 per share. On each Dividend Date, the Liquidation Preference shall be increased by adding to the then existing Liquidation Preference the amount of dividends (whether or not declared) accumulated and unpaid since the immediately preceding Dividend Date. To the extent that such accumulated and unpaid dividends have been taken into account to increase the amount of Liquidation Preference on a Dividend Date, such accumulated dividends shall cease to be considered accumulated and unpaid dividends from and after such Dividend Date. When dividends are not paid in full upon all shares of Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Preferred Stock will be declared pro rata so that in all cases the amount of dividends declared per share on the Preferred Stock bear to each other the same ratio that the accumulated dividends per share on the shares of Preferred Stock bear to each other. As long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, then: (i) no dividends in cash, stock or other property may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or any other distribution made upon any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (other than dividends or distributions in Common Stock); and (ii) no shares of Common Stock may be acquired for consideration except by conversion into or exchange for, Common Stock. (b) PREFERENCE ON LIQUIDATION DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. During any proceedings for the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution of the assets of the Corporation shall be made in respect of the outstanding Common Stock, an amount in cash for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference, or funds -2- necessary for such payment shall have been set aside in trust for the account of the holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock so as to be and continue available therefor. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets distributable to the holders of the Preferred Stock as aforesaid shall be insufficient to permit the payment to them of a per share amount equal to the Liquidation Preference, the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock ratably until they shall have received the full amount to which they would otherwise be entitled. If the assets of the Corporation are sufficient to permit the payment of such amounts to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the remainder of the assets of the Corporation, if any, after the distributions as aforesaid shall be distributed and divided ratably among the holders of the Common Stock then outstanding. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation, a sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets as an entirety, or any purchase or redemption of capital stock of the Corporation of any class, shall not be regarded as a "liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation" within the meaning of this Section 2(b). (c) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. On the date that either (i) an Initial Public Offering (as defined below) shall have been consummated or (ii) a Major Transaction (as defined below) has occurred, each holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option, to cause the Corporation to redeem on such date all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder, at a per share redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends through the effective date of redemption. "Major Transaction" means a single transaction involving, or a series of transactions having the cumulative effect of, the sale to a third party not affiliated with or related to either TSG2 L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TSG2"), or TSG3 L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TSG3"), of all or substantially all of the assets or at least a majority of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation or other entity (in each case only if not affiliated with or related to either TSG2 or TSG3) in which the Corporation is not the survivor, or any combination of the foregoing involving the Corporation. If and to the extent that the holders of such Preferred Shares so elect, in connection with any such Major Transaction (collectively, the "Electing Holders"), the Electing Holders shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution of the assets of the Corporation or other payment from a third party in connection with such transaction ("Major Transaction Payments") shall be made in respect of the outstanding Common Stock, an amount in cash for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference in connection with the redemption of the Preferred Shares held by the Electing Holders. If the Major Transaction Payments payable with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Electing Holders shall be insufficient to permit the payment to them of a per share amount equal to the Liquidation Preference, such Major Transaction Payments shall be distributed to such holders ratably until they shall have received the full amount to which they would otherwise be entitled. After the payments required to be made to the Preferred Stock have been made in the manner described in this paragraph, the distributions as aforesaid shall be distributed and divided ratably among the holders of Common Stock then outstanding. The term "Initial Public Offering" shall mean the first underwritten public offering (other than an offering of securities to employees of the Corporation) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock which results in the -3- Corporation becoming (or being obligated to become) an entity with a class of equity securities that is the subject of a then effective registration statement pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (d) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as any otherwise be expressly required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, shares of Preferred Stock shall not entitle the registered holder thereof to vote on any matters brought before the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote." IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Cutex Company has caused this Certificate to be signed and attested by all of its Initial Directors, this 9th day of December, 1998. THE CUTEX COMPANY /s/ Charles H.

Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. Article II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof. SECTION 2. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request therefor, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. -2- SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock -3- entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Article III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE.

The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (provided that no decrease in the number of directors which would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board of Directors). If the Board of Directors makes no such determination, the number of directors shall be the number set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM.

The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by -5- which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify.

Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. Article IV COMMITTEES SECTION 1. DESIGNATION; POWERS. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so -7- determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.

Article VI INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, -11- individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. SECTION 6. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. -12- SECTION 7. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Article VII CAPITAL STOCK SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors.

The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. SECTION 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. -13- SECTION 3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. SECTION 4. REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. SECTION 5. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. CORPORATE SEAL.

Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. -14- Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors.

Article IX AMENDMENTS If provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend and repeal from time to time bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to amend or repeal such bylaws as adopted or amended by the Board of Directors. -15-

Any repeal or modification of this Section 1 of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing prior to such repeal or modification. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including without limitation any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was or had agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not for profit, including without limitation service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or -15- may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; any advance payments to be paid by the Corporation shall be paid within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in such person's capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including without limitation service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 2 or otherwise. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in -16- advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation. (b) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section 2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including without limitation its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including without limitation its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. (c) The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent shall not, in itself, create a presumption that the -17- person seeking indemnification (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful or (iii) otherwise did not meet the statutory requirements entitling such person to indemnification. (d) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 2 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of this Article shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. (b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent's receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to SECTION 2.14(a) (DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE). Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in SECTION 11.8 (NOTICES, ETC.), in immediately available funds, such Lender's Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with SECTION 11.1 (AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.)) (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in SECTION 3.1 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT) and (ii) at any time (including the Closing Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in SECTION 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT), and after the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower. (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this SECTION 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (and, in the case of the Borrower, within three Business Days after receipt of such demand) such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative 51 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower. (d) The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender being a "NON-FUNDING LENDER"), including any payment in respect of its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement. SECTION 2.3 SWING LOANS (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, make, in Dollars, loans (each a "SWING LOAN") otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding (together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any other Loan made by the Swing Loan Lender hereunder in its capacity as a Lender or the Swing Loan Lender) not to exceed the Swing Loan Sublimit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that at no time shall the Swing Loan Lender make any Swing Loan in excess of the Available Credit. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be paid in full upon any Revolving Credit Borrowing hereunder and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this CLAUSE (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this CLAUSE (a). (b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower shall telecopy (or forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Administrative Agent a duly completed request in substantially the form of EXHIBIT D (FORM OF SWING LOAN REQUEST), setting forth the requested amount and date of such Swing Loan (a "SWING LOAN REQUEST"), to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the proposed borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swing Loan Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such amounts available to the Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. The Swing Loan Lender shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in SECTION 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT) have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan. (c) The Swing Loan Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail) weekly, by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day of each week, of the aggregate principal amount of its Swing Loans then outstanding. (d) The Swing Loan Lender may demand at any time that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, in the 52 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. manner provided in CLAUSE (e) below, such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans demanded to be paid. (e) The Administrative Agent shall forward each notice referred to in CLAUSE (c) above and each demand referred to in CLAUSE (d) above to each Revolving Credit Lender on the day such notice or such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such notice or demand received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or any such demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the Revolving Credit Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of each Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans stated to be outstanding in such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in SECTIONS 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT) and 2.1(a) (THE COMMITMENTS) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Revolving Credit Lender's receipt of such notice or demand, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except as provided in CLAUSE (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand. (f) Upon the occurrence of a Default under CLAUSE (ii) or (iii) of SECTION 9.1(f) (EVENTS OF DEFAULT), each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to CLAUSE (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to CLAUSE (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Revolving Credit Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans. (g) From and after the date on which any Revolving Credit Lender (i) is deemed to have made a Revolving Loan pursuant to CLAUSE (e) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to CLAUSE (f) above, the Swing Loan Lender shall promptly distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received 53 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. by the Swing Loan Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to CLAUSE (e) or (f) above. SECTION 2.4 LETTERS OF CREDIT (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Issuer agrees to Issue at the request of the Borrower and for the account of the Borrower one or more Letters of Credit from time to time on any Business Day during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and 30 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Issuer shall be under any obligation to Issue (and, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in CLAUSES (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), AND (vi)(A) below, shall not Issue) any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date of this Agreement or result in any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuer as of the date of this Agreement and that such Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (ii) such Issuer shall have received any written notice of the type described in CLAUSE (d) below; (iii) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time; (iv) after giving effect to the Issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of (i) the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time and (ii) the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit; (v) such Letter of Credit is requested to be denominated in any currency other than Dollars; or (vi) (A) any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer or (C) the Issuer for such Letter of Credit shall not have received, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and, if applicable, duly executed by such Borrower, applications, agreements and other documentation (collectively, a "LETTER OF CREDIT REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT") such Issuer generally employs in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit. 54 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. None of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit. (b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to one year may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, the Borrower and the Issuer of such Letter or Credit shall have the option to prevent such renewal and (y) the Borrower shall not permit any such renewal to extend the expiration date of any Letter beyond the date set forth in CLAUSE (ii) above. (c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior written notice, in substantially the form of EXHIBIT E (FORM OF LETTER OF CREDIT REQUEST) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a "LETTER OF CREDIT REQUEST").

No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in SECTION 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT) or CLAUSE (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in CLAUSES (a)(i), (a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates, CLAUSE (a)(vi)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit. (e) The Borrower agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. (f) Each Issuer shall comply with the following: (i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by 55 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Revolving Credit Lender); (ii) upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and (iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto. (g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto. (h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the "REIMBURSEMENT DATE"), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this CLAUSE (h) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of payment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of such payment in immediately available Dollars.

Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under SECTION 9.1(f) (EVENTS OF DEFAULT) 56 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3.2 (CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EACH LOAN AND LETTER OF CREDIT) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this CLAUSE (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. (i) If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by CLAUSE (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. (j) The Borrower's obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 57 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this SECTION 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.14 SPECIAL PROVISIONS GOVERNING EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS (a) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of "EURODOLLAR RATE." The Administrative Agent's determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower. (b) INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE, INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (c) INCREASED COSTS If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) (collectively, a "CHANGE OF LAW"), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender for any increased cost incurred more than 180 days prior to the delivery of such certificate (such period to be extended in the case of increased costs caused by a Change of Law with retroactive effect to include the period of retroactive effect of such Change of Law). (d) ILLEGALITY Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or 70 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Prior to any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Tranche C Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Administrative Agent (or, as the case may be Tranche C Agent) under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this ARTICLE X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent (or, as the case may be Tranche C Agent) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender's Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in SECTION 11.8 (NOTICES, ETC.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted 133 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this SECTION 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B-1 (FORM OF REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE) or EXHIBIT B-2 (FORM OF TERM NOTE), as applicable. (e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this SECTION 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following: (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, shall retain all voting rights and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender's Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to CLAUSE (i) above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in CLAUSE (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this SECTION 11.2 other than this CLAUSE (e) or CLAUSE (f) 134 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. below.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans of any Tranche, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant's consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with SECTION 5.1 (RELEASES; ENFORCEMENT BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Parent, the Agents, the Issuers, the other Lenders and the other Secured Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from any Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that is not prohibited from giving such instruction pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly provided hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to such Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5.5 REGISTRATION RIGHTS (a) If any Collateral Agent shall determine (and be permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its rights to sell any the Pledged Collateral pursuant to SECTION 5.1 (CODE AND OTHER REMEDIES), and if in the opinion of such Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of such Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto or to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of such Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that each Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. No Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. (c) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this SECTION 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this SECTION 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to each Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agents and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this SECTION 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such 22 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement or that the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or that such covenants have been fully performed. SECTION 5.6 DEFICIENCY Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of any attorney employed by either Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency. ARTICLE VI THE COLLATERAL AGENTS SECTION 6.1 COLLATERAL AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (a) Until such time as all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of either of them, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives each Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following: (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by such Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any agreement, instrument, document or paper as such Collateral Agent may request to evidence such Collateral Agent's security interests in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof); (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in SECTION 5.1 (CODE AND OTHER REMEDIES) or 5.5 (REGISTRATION RIGHTS), any endorsement, assignment or other instrument of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; or (v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to such Collateral 23 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.

All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. SECTION 6.2 DUTY OF COLLATERAL AGENTS Each Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No such Collateral 24 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. Agent and no other Secured Party, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on any Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect such Collateral Agent's interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agents and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any of their own officers, directors, employees or agents.

SECTION 6.4 AUTHORITY OF COLLATERAL AGENTS Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by either of them or the exercise or non-exercise by such Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between such Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between such Collateral Agent and the Grantors, such Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the other Secured Parties it represents as collateral agent with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control, and no right, power, or remedy granted to any Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be exercised by such Collateral Agent in contravention of the Intercreditor Agreement. 25 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

PAYMENTS OVER Unless and until all First-Priority Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, any Collateral or proceeds thereof or any payment received by any Tranche C Party from proceeds of the Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in the priority set forth in SECTION 3.2 (APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS) in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) To the extent the Tranche C Agent is required to release any Lien pursuant to CLAUSE (a) above, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release such Liens for, and in the name of, the Tranche C Agent until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full. 5.2 EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN COLLATERAL (a) As between the First-Priority Parties and the Tranche C Parties, to the extent any of the following rights is granted under the Loan Documents: (i) Unless and until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full, the First-Priority Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents as if the Liens of or for the benefit of any Tranche C Party under any applicable Loan Documents did not exist.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the aggregate principal amount of such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. (i) GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES. (i) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.12, 4.18 and 9.05 hereof). (ii) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 41 (iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the date of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date (including a Regular Record Date) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT NOTES. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note. If required by the Trustee or the Company, the Holder of such Note shall provide indemnity that is sufficient, in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement. If required by the Company, such Holder shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable expenses in connection with such replacement. Every replacement Note issued in accordance with this Section 2.07 shall be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the destroyed, lost or stolen Note, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING NOTES. (a) The Notes outstanding at any time shall be the entire principal amount of Notes represented by all of the Global Notes and Definitive Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those subject to reductions in beneficial interests effected by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note shall not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof. (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced note is held by a bona fide purchaser. (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue. (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date, a Purchase Date (as defined in Section 3.09) or a maturity date, funds sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 42 SECTION 2.09. TREASURY NOTES. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes or Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes, as applicable. After preparation of Definitive Notes, the Temporary Note will be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the Temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon sole direction of the Company, the Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act or other applicable laws) unless by written order, signed by an Officer of the Company, the Company directs them to be returned to it. Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company from time to time upon request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.12. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Holders thereof. If the Company pays the defaulted interest prior to 30 days of the default in payment of interest, payment shall be paid to the record Holder of the Notes as of the original record date. If such default in payment of interest continues for 30 days, the Company will, in the case of Definitive Notes, establish a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest. If no special record date is required to be established pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) in the case of Definitive Notes, Holders of record on the original record date shall be entitled to such payment of defaulted interest and any such interest payable on the defaulted interest and (ii) in the case of Global Notes, Holders on the Defaulted Interest Payment Date (as defined in the next sentence) shall be entitled to such defaulted interest and any such interest payable on the defaulted interest. The Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of the defaulted interest proposed to be paid on the Notes and the date of the proposed payment (a "DEFAULTED INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee or Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment. SECTION 2.13. CUSIP OR ISIN NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers in notices of redemption or Offers to 43 Purchase as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or notice of an Offer to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers. SECTION 2.14. SPECIAL INTEREST If Special Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement and paragraph 1 of the Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such interest is payable pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate or instruction or direction from the Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Special Interest is payable. The foregoing shall not prejudice the rights of the Holders with respect to their entitlement to Special Interest as otherwise set forth in this Indenture or the Notes and pursuing any action against the Company directly or otherwise directing the Trustee to take any such action in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. If the Company has paid Special Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the details of such payment. SECTION 2.15. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and rights under a related Registration Rights Agreement, if any. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents, redemptions and Offers to Purchase. With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers' Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; (b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP and/or ISIN number of such Additional Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have "original issue discount" within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, other than a DE MINIMIS original issue discount within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code; and (c) whether such Additional Notes shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.06 hereof relating to Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. SECTION 2.16. RECORD DATE. The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as provided for in TIA Section 316(c). ARTICLE 3. REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 44 SECTION 3.01. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (or such shorter period as allowed by the Trustee), an Officers' Certificate setting forth (a) the applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the redemption date, (c) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a PRO RATA basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not an integral multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. SECTION 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address appearing in the Security Register. The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: (a) the redemption date; (b) the appropriate method for calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price itself; the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the redemption date unless clause (2) of the definition of "Comparable Treasury Price" is applicable, in which case such Officers' Certificate should be delivered on the redemption date; (c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, if applicable, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; (g) the applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 45 (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at its expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or such shorter period allowed by the Trustee), prior to the redemption date, an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice (in the name and at the expense of the Company) and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03. SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the Business Day prior to any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the redemption date, return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for purchase or redemption in accordance with Section 2.08(d) hereof, whether or note such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. SECTION 3.06. NOTES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

(e) Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash or that is not segregated from the general funds of the Company for investment in identified Additional Assets in respect of a project that shall have been commenced, and for which binding contractual commitments have been entered into, prior to the end of such 365-day period and that shall not have been completed or abandoned shall constitute "Excess Proceeds;" PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that ceases to be so segregated as contemplated above and any Net Available Cash that is segregated in respect of a project that is abandoned or completed shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds" at the time any such Net Available Cash ceases to be so segregated or at the time the relevant project is so abandoned or completed, as applicable; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that continues to be segregated for investment in identified Additional Assets and that is not actually so invested within twelve months from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million (taking into account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase (the "Prepayment Offer") the Notes within five Business Days after the Company becomes obligated to do so, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds (rounded to the nearest $1,000), on a PRO RATA basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to the repurchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in Section 3.09. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and PROVIDED that all holders of Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for repurchase in accordance with this Indenture, the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by this Indenture, and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 58 The term "Allocable Excess Proceeds" shall mean the product of: (a) the Excess Proceeds and (b) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, and (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is PARI PASSU in right of payment with the Notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to this Section 4.12 and requiring the Company to make an offer to repurchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer. (f) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.12, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof. SECTION 4.13. RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS FROM RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. (a) The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to any Restricted Subsidiary or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not owned, directly or indirectly by the Company or any Guarantor, to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) make any loans or advances to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (iii) transfer any of its Property to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary. (b) The foregoing limitations will not apply: (i) with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to restrictions: (A) in effect on the Issue Date (including, without limitation, restrictions pursuant to the Notes, this Indenture and the Senior Credit Facility), (B) relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary and existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Parent or the Company, or (C) that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (i)(A) or (B) above or in clause (i)(G), (ii)(A) or (B) below; PROVIDED such restrictions are not more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreement evidencing the Debt so Refinanced, 59 (D) contained in any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or other disposition; (E) relating to Debt or other contractual requirements or restrictions of a Securitization Subsidiary in connection with a Permitted Receivables Financing; PROVIDED that such restrictions only apply to such Securitization Subsidiary; (F) contained in any agreement governing Debt incurred by a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary permitted under Section 4.09; PROVIDED that such restrictions only apply to such Foreign Restricted Subsidiary; PROVIDED, FURTHER that such Debt is not guaranteed by the Parent or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries; (G) contained in any other agreement, instrument or document relating to Senior Debt in effect after the Issue Date; PROVIDED that the terms and conditions of such restrictions are not materially more restrictive taken as a whole than those restrictions imposed in connection with the Senior Credit Facility as in effect on the Issue Date (which may result in restrictions upon a Restricted Subsidiary so long as such restrictions are not materially more restrictive taken as a whole than the comparable restriction that is applicable to the Parent or the Company); and (ii) with respect to clause (iii) only, to restrictions: (A) relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the Notes or the applicable Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.09 and Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such Debt, (B) encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restrictions relate solely to the Property so acquired and were not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition, (C) resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements that restrict assignment of such agreements or rights thereunder, (D) customary restrictions contained in asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements limiting the transfer of such Property pending the closing of such sale; (E) customary restrictions contained in joint venture and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and otherwise permitted by this Indenture; (F) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; and (G) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business. 60 SECTION 4.14.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following: (i) any transaction or series of transactions between the Parent and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (ii) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10 or any Permitted Investment; (iii) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as the Board of Directors in good faith shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to be performed for such compensation to be fair consideration therefor; (iv) loans and advances to non-executive employees made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practices of the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; PROVIDED that such loans and advances do not exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; (v) agreements in effect on the Issue Date and described in the offering memorandum and any modifications, extensions or renewals thereto that are no less favorable to the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary than such agreements as in effect on the Issue Date; (vi) customary indemnification agreements with officers and directors of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries or of any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent; (vii) transactions effected on the Issue Date in connection with the Transactions, including the payment of all fees and expenses described in the Offering Memorandum under the heading "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions;" 61 (viii) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent) that is an Affiliate of the Parent solely because the Parent owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock in or controls such Person; (ix) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax sharing agreement between Parent and any other Person with which Parent files a consolidated tax return or with which Parent is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes; (x) transactions pursuant to the Management Agreement, as in effect on the Issue Date, as such agreement may be amended, modified, or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreement, taken as a whole, is no less favorable to the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the Management Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; (xi) the issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Parent to any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent; and (xii) transactions between a Securitization Subsidiary and the Parent or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a Permitted Receivables Financing.

SECTION 4.16. LIMITATION ON LAYERED DEBT. The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt unless such Debt is Senior Debt incurred under the Senior Credit Facility, Senior Subordinated Debt or is expressly subordinated in right of payment to Senior Subordinated Debt. In addition, no Guarantor shall Guarantee, directly or indirectly, any Debt of the Company that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt unless such Guarantee is expressly subordinate in right of payment to, or ranks PARI PASSU with, the Guarantee of such Guarantor. No Debt of the Parent, the Company or any Guarantor will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Parent, the Company or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the 62 holders of such Debt have entered into intercreditor agreements or arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them. SECTION 4.17. DESIGNATION OF RESTRICTED AND UNRESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES. (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any of its Subsidiaries to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is permitted to make such Investment in such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary: (i) does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) has no Debt other than Non-Recourse Debt; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary may loan, advance, extend credit to, or guarantee the Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time at or after such Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.10; (iii) except as would be permitted by Section 4.14, is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Parent or the Company; (iv) is a Person with respect to which neither the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (A) to subscribe for additional Capital Stock or (B) to maintain or preserve such Person's financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results; and (v) has not Guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support in the form of Debt for any Debt of the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(c) Except as provided in the first sentence of clause (b), no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and neither the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary). Upon designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this Section 4.17, such Restricted Subsidiary shall, by execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, be released from any Guarantee previously made by such Restricted Subsidiary. (d) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation, (i) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a); and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom. 63 Any such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers' Certificate that: (a) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the foregoing provisions, and (b) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation; such filing with the Trustee to occur within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Company in which such designation or redesignation is made (or, in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal quarter of the Company's fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year). SECTION 4.18. REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall, within 30 days of a Change of Control, make an offer (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3.09. Each Holder shall have the right to accept such offer and require the Company to repurchase all or any portion (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer at a purchase price, in cash (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL AMOUNT"), equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, to the Purchase Date.

The Parent and the Company shall cause each Person that becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Securitization Subsidiary) following the Issue Date to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee at the time such Person becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary. In addition, the Parent and the Company will cause each of its respective existing non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and each of its respective Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries created or acquired after the Issue Date which has guaranteed or which guarantees any Debt of the Parent or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee pursuant to which such non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Company's obligations under the Notes on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the guarantee of such other Debt of the Parent or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary given by such non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary; PROVIDED that if such Debt is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, any such guarantee of such non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Debt will be subordinated in right of payment to such non-Guarantor Subsidiary's or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the Notes; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that any such Guarantee shall also provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released upon the release or discharge of such guarantee of payment of such other Debt (except a discharge by or as a result of payment under such guarantee).

In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i), all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without any further declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the registered holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium or interest, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(e) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default shall be remedied or cured by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes have been cured or waived. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture. SECTION 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies shall be cumulative to the extent permitted by law. SECTION 6.04. WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. (a) The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default, and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment. Upon any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of 68 Default arising therefrom shall be deemed cured for every purpose of this Indenture but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. Subject to Section 7.01, Section 7.02(f) (including the Trustee's receipt of the security or indemnification described therein) and Section 7.07 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless: (a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives the notice from the Company, (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and (c) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. The preceding limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, a Note on or after the respective due dates for such payments set forth in such Note. A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest) and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. SECTION 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. The Trustee shall be authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders 69 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, moneys, securities and any other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and THIRD: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. ARTICLE 7. TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs. (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 70 (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

(c) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. (d) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company. (e) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in 71 fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture. (f) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its power and duties hereunder.

SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee shall also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof. 72 SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) or any predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (for purposes of this Article, "LOSSES") incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent such losses may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.07, to the extent the Company has been prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel if the Trustee has been reasonably advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes through the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days' prior notice to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 73 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder shall have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. In the case of an appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any such other Trustee. SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee. SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million) as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 74 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b). SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. ARTICLE 8. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SECTION 8.01. OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8. SECTION 8.02. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "LEGAL DEFEASANCE") and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Sections 4.01 and 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. SECTION 8.03. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.09 through 4.16, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof, and the operation of Sections 5.01(a)(v) and (b)(v), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "COVENANT DEFEASANCE") and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee with respect to such covenants in connection with such outstanding Notes and the 75 Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (d) (with respect to the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.09 through 4.16, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) (but in the case of (h) and (i) of Section 6.01, with respect to Significant Restricted Subsidiaries only) or because of the Company's or the Parent's failure to comply with clauses (a)(v) and (b)(v) of Section 5.01. SECTION 8.04. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes. The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if: (a) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust (the "DEFEASANCE TRUST"), for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the next redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company shall specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to such particular redemption date; (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) subsequent to the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of deposit and after giving effect thereto (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound; (f) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 76 (g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of the Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and (h) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. SECTION 8.05. DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 8.06, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the "TRUSTEE") pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. SECTION 8.06. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. The Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess money held with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Company's Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes. Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. SECTION 8.07. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's 77 obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash and securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER SECTION 9.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without the consent of any Holder to: (a) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in any manner that is not adverse in any material respect to any Holder of the Notes; (b) provide for the assumption by a Surviving Person of the obligations of the Parent or the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; (c) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (PROVIDED that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (d) add additional Guarantees or additional obligors with respect to the Notes or release, terminate or discharge Guarantors from Guarantees as permitted by the terms of this Indenture; (e) secure the Notes; (f) add to the covenants of the Parent and the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Parent or the Company; (g) make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; (h) make any change to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Debt under such provisions; (i) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or (j) add a co-issuer of the Notes as contemplated under Section 5.01(a)(i); (k) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with this Indenture; or (l) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the "Description of the Notes" section of the offering memorandum, dated as of March 30, 2004, relating to the sale of the Initial Notes, to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes. No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or their Representative) consent to such change. 78 SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, may waive any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in (i) the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. Without the consent of each Holder, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (a) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver; (b) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest, if any, on, any Note; (c) reduce the principal of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any Note; (d) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; (e) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, such Holder's Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Notes or any Guarantee; (f) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed, as described under Section 3.07; (g) reduce the premium payable upon a Change of Control or, at any time after a Change of Control has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; (h) at any time after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, change the time at which such Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto; (i) make any change to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes; or (j) make any change in any Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; PROVIDED that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 79 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected thereby to such Holder's address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. SECTION 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. SECTION 9.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder. SECTION 9.05. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. SECTION 9.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its board of directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). ARTICLE 10. GUARANTEES SECTION 10.01. GUARANTEE. Subject to this Article 10, the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns: (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest, and the due 80 and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement with or for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02, redemption or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to its Guarantee shall be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (a) any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a "BENEFITED PARTY"), as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Benefited Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Guarantees; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Benefited Party's errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the Guarantees, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)(1) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (4) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of the Guarantees, notices of Default under the Notes or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Company and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any "One Action" rule and (h) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Guarantees. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, including Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 10.05, each Guarantor hereby covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Guarantee and this Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such 81 acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. The other Guarantors' shares of such contribution payment will be computed based on the proportion that the net worth of the relevant Guarantor represents relative to the aggregate net worth of all of the Guarantors combined. SECTION 10.02. LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY. (a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that each Guarantor's liability shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under the guarantee, but shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or (b) the amount, if any, which would not have (1) rendered the Guarantor "insolvent" (as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Law and in the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York) or (2) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time its guarantee with respect to the Notes was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Debt immediately before such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or proceeding in which a Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed pursuant to the guarantee with respect to the Notes is the amount described in clause (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of the Guarantor, or debtor in possession or Trustee in bankruptcy of the Guarantor, otherwise proves in a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of the Guarantor is limited to the amount described in clause (b). (b) In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with this Section 10.02, the right of each Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account. SECTION 10.03. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit E attached hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. The Company hereby agrees that it shall cause each Person that becomes obligated to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.19 to execute a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Person provides the guarantee set forth in this Article 10 and otherwise assumes the obligations and accepts the rights of a Guarantor under this Indenture, in each case with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor. The Company also hereby agrees to cause each such new Guarantor to evidence its guarantee by endorsing a notation of such guarantee on each Note as provided in this Section 10.03. 82 SECTION 10.04. GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the Surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: (a) subject to Section 10.05, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under this Indenture, the Guarantee and any Registration Rights Agreements on the terms set forth herein or therein; and (b) the Guarantor complies with the requirements of Article 5 hereof. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. SECTION 10.05. RELEASES FOLLOWING MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS, ETC.. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Subsidiary of the Parent, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee; PROVIDED that the net proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.12. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.17, such Subsidiary shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company or Parent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.12, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. ARTICLE 11. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 83 SECTION 11.01. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect, except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: (a) either: (i) all Notes that have been previously authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has previously been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and is thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from the trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes that have not been previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by their terms within one year or have been called for redemption, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Debt on the Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or redemption for principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit, in the case of Notes that have become due and payable, or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be. (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; (c) the Company has paid all other sums payable by the Company with respect to the Notes under this Indenture; and (d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated Maturity or on the redemption date. In addition, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied. SECTION 11.02. DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 11.03, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 11.02, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. SECTION 11.03. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, 84 and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. ARTICLE 12. SUBORDINATION SECTION 12.01. AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable in respect of, the Notes and payment under any Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12 and subject to the provisions of Article 8 hereof, to the payment when due in cash of all Senior Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Debt. The Notes and Guarantees shall in all respects rank pari passu with any future Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, and senior to all existing and future Subordinated Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, and only Senior Debt shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 12 shall be subject to Section 12.12. All references to "Senior Debt" in this Article 12 are to Senior Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be. SECTION 12.02. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, BANKRUPTCY (a) Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company or the relevant Guarantor to creditors upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or the relevant Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or the relevant Guarantor or its or their property or upon an assignment for the benefit of the Company's or the relevant Guarantor's creditors or the marshaling of its or their assets and liabilities, the holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before the Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including on, the Notes, except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain such payments made in Permitted Junior Securities and payments from the trust described in Article 8 hereof. (b) Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which Holders of the Notes would be entitled but for this Article 12 will be made to holders of the Senior Debt as their interests may appear (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain payments made in Permitted Junior Securities and payments and other distributions made from the trust described in Article 8 hereof; provided that (i) no Holder of the Notes shall have the right to receive and retain any such Permitted Junior Securities if the existence of such right would have the effect of causing the Notes to be treated in the same class of claims as the Senior Debt of the Company or any class of claims which is pari passu with such Senior Debt and (ii) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive any cash payments made to any Holder of Notes on the account of Permitted Junior Securities until all Obligations in respect of Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash). SECTION 12.03. DEFAULT ON SENIOR DEBT The Company may not pay (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Article 8 hereof) principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, or make any deposit in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.04, and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes (collectively, "PAY THE NOTES") if (a) any principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of any Senior Debt is not paid within any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (1) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (2) such Senior Debt has been paid in full in 85 cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of the holders of such Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, from the holders of such Senior Debt. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except any notice required to effect the acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace period, the Company may not pay the Notes for a period (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE PERIOD") commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, from the holders of such Designated Senior Debt, specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE NOTICE") and ending 179 days thereafter (unless such Payment Blockage Period is earlier terminated by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, from the holders of such Designated Senior Debt that gave such Payment Blockage Notice because (a) such default is no longer continuing or (b) because such Designated Senior Debt has been repaid in full in cash). Not more than one Payment Blockage Notice with respect to all issues of Designated Senior Debt may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to one or more issues of Designated Senior Debt during such period. No non-payment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. Following the expiration of any Payment Blockage Period, the Company shall (unless otherwise prohibited as described in the first two sentences of this paragraph) resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Notes, including, without limitation, any missed payments, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated, and such acceleration remains in full force and effect. If any Payment Blockage Notice is delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior Debt (other than the holders of Debt under the Senior Credit Facility), a Representative of holders of Debt under the Senior Credit Facility may still give another Payment Blockage Notice within the same period. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default in the payment of any Senior Debt or any acceleration under any Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued. Failure to give such notice shall not effect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt or the application of the other provisions provided in this Article 12. SECTION 12.04. ACCELERATION OF PAYMENT OF SECURITIES. If payment of the Notes is accelerated when Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, the Company may not pay the Notes until three Business Days after the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, the holders of such Designated Senior Debt receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the Notes only if this Indenture otherwise permits payment at that time. SECTION 12.05. WHEN DISTRIBUTION MUST BE PAID OVER. If a payment or distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article 12 should not have been made to them, the Trustee or the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt (pro rata as to each of such holders of Senior Debt on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt paid to them) and pay it over to them or their Representative as their interests may appear. SECTION 12.06. SUBROGATION After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Debt that is pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on such Senior Debt. 86 SECTION 12.07. RELATIVE RIGHTS This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: (a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes in accordance with their terms; (b) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other then their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders. SECTION 12.08. SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED BY COMPANY No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Debt evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture. SECTION 12.09. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT Notwithstanding Section 12.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article 12. The Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt may give the notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if an issue of Senior Debt has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07. SECTION 12.10. DISTRIBUTION OR NOTICE TO REPRESENTATIVE Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any). SECTION 12.11. ARTICLE 12 NOT TO PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT OR LIMIT RIGHT TO ACCELERATE Nothing in this Article 12 shall prevent an Event of Default in accordance with Article 6 or have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes or to exercise the rights and remedies in Article 6. SECTION 12.12. TRUST MONEYS NOT SUBORDINATED Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from cash or the proceeds of non-callable U.S. Government Securities held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 12, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Debt or any other creditor of the Company. 87 SECTION 12.13. TRUSTEE ENTITLED TO RELY Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon a certificate of the Representative of the holders of Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, the holders of Senior Debt for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other Debt of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12. SECTION 12.14. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Debt as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. SECTION 12.15. TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise, except if such mistake was the result of the Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. SECTION 12.16. RELIANCE BY HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT ON SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt and such holder of such Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other PARI PASSU Indebtedness surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a PRO RATA basis.

(d) The Company and each Guarantor shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company and each Guarantor, signed by (x) the Chairman of the Board or the President and (y) the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company and each Guarantor, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Final Memorandum, any amendment or supplement to the Final Memorandum and this Agreement and that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company and each Guarantor in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and the Company and each Guarantor has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary 16 course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). (e) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to the Representatives letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants with regard to Medtech and Denorex and The Spic and Span Company within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating, as of the Execution Time (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the Final Memorandum, as of a date not more than five days prior to the Execution Time), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants' "comfort letters" to Representatives. References to the Final Memorandum in this Section 6(e) include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of the applicable letter. (f) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused Ernst & Young LLP to furnish to the Representatives letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants with regard to Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating, as of the Execution Time (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the Final Memorandum, as of a date not more than five days prior to the Execution Time), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants' "comfort letters" to Representatives.

(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section 6; or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed 17 with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). (i) The Securities shall have been designated as PORTAL-eligible securities in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD and the Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company. (j) Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall have entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. The Initial Purchasers shall have received counterparts, conformed as executed, thereof. (k) Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall have entered into the Senior Credit Facilities and any Credit Documents to which it is a party thereto. The Initial Purchasers shall have received counterparts, conformed as executed, thereof.

(l) Each condition to the closing of the Acquisition contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement shall have been satisfied or, with the written consent of the Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, waived.

(n) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request. If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, this Agreement and all obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing. The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 will be delivered at the office of counsel for the Initial Purchasers, at c/o Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153, on the Closing Date. 7. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in 18 Section 6 hereof is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any of the Guarantors to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through Citigroup on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 8. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any Preliminary Memorandum, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Initial Purchaser from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Initial Purchaser occurs under the circumstance where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Final Memorandum to the Representatives, (x) delivery of the Final Memorandum was required by the Act to be made to such person, (y) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum was corrected in the Final Memorandum and (z) there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such person, a copy of the Final Memorandum. (b) Each Initial Purchaser severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, each of their directors, each of their officers, and each person who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to 19 such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that (i) the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii), under the heading "Plan of Distribution", (A) the 4th and 5th sentences of the 9th paragraph and (B) the 8th and 9th sentences of the 10th paragraph in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure would materially prejudice the indemnifying party and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel to the extent necessary), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Initial Purchasers and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by Citigroup. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder 20 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively "LOSSES") to which the Company or any Guarantor and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or a Guarantor, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company or a Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company and any Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 9. DEFAULT BY AN INITIAL PURCHASER. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set 21 forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 10. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 11. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors or their officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Company, the Guarantors or any of the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 12. NOTICES. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup General Counsel (fax no.: (212) 816-7912) and confirmed to Citigroup at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: General Counsel; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (914) 524-6802 and confirmed to it at 90 North Broadway, Irvington, New York 10533, attention of the Legal Department. 13. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the indemnified persons referred to in 22 Section 8 hereof and their respective successors, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 14. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 15. COUNTERPARTS.

(b) (i) The Company and the Guarantors shall as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 90 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 3), file with the Commission and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Act within 90 days after so required or requested, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Securities or the New Securities, as applicable, by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 3(b) shall require the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement prior to the deadline for filing an Exchange Offer Registration Statement as set forth in Section 2(a); PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that with respect to New Securities received by an Initial Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Company and the Guarantors may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission's staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement.

The Company and the Guarantors shall not be obligated to amend or supplement any Shelf Registration Statement more than once per calendar quarter to reflect additional Holders. The Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed not to have used their respective best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if they voluntarily take any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, unless such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise undertaken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company's obligations hereunder), including the 7 acquisition or divestiture of assets, and (y) permitted pursuant to Section 4(k)(ii) hereof. (iii) The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (A) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act; and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 4.

(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer and each person who controls any such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have. The Company and the Guarantors also, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify as provided in this Section 6(a) or contribute as provided in Section 6(d) hereof to Losses of each underwriter, if any, of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of 15 the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(p) hereof. (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser that is a Holder, in such capacity) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, each of their directors, each of their officers who signs such Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company or any of the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any such Holder may otherwise have. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 or notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel (which shall be one firm and any necessary local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which 16 firm, if the indemnifying parties include the Initial Purchasers, shall be designated in writing by Citigroup. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, liability, damage or action) (collectively "Losses") to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such Security, or in the case of a New Security, applicable to the Security that was exchangeable into such New Security, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Final Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or New Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) 17 shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or any of the Guarantors who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). (e) The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company and the Guarantors or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 6, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement. 7. UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) If any of the Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority Holders. (b) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 8. SPECIAL INTEREST. If (a) on or prior to the 90th day following the original issue date of the Securities, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, (b) on or prior to the 180th day following the original issue date of the Securities, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective or on or prior to the 90th day following the Company's obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed, (c) on or prior to the 45th day following the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is first declared effective, the Registered Exchange Offer has not been consummated, or (d) after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Securities or New Securities in accordance with and during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (d), a ("REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), interest ("SPECIAL INTEREST") will accrue on the principal amount of the Securities and the New Securities (in addition to the stated interest on the Securities and New Securities) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. Special Interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such rate exceed 1.00% per annum. 18 All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Security at the time such Security is exchanged for a New Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Security have been satisfied in full. 9. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company has not entered into, and agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 10. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities outstanding; PROVIDED that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 8 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registered Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the provisions of this Article 10 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing provisos), a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement. 11. NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the Registrar under the Indenture; (b) if to you, initially at the respective addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (c) if to the Company or the Guarantors, initially at their address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. 19 The Initial Purchasers, the Company or the Guarantors by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 12. REMEDIES. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein, in the Indenture or in the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 13. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the New Securities, and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Securities and the New Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. 14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 15. HEADINGS. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 16. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 17. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one of more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 18. SECURITIES HELD BY THE COMPANY, ETC. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities or New Securities is required hereunder, Securities or New Securities, as applicable, held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities or New Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities or New Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 20 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof, whereupon this Agreement and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement among the Company, the Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers.

The term of the LLC commenced upon the filing of the Certificate in accordance with the Delaware Act and shall continue in existence until termination and dissolution thereof in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE XIII. 2.9 NO STATE-LAW PARTNERSHIP. The Unitholders intend that the LLC not be a partnership (including, without limitation, a limited partnership) or joint venture, and that no Unitholder be a partner or joint venturer of any other Unitholder by virtue of this Agreement (except for tax purposes as set forth in the next succeeding sentence of this SECTION 2.9), and 13 neither this Agreement nor any other document entered into by the LLC or any Unitholder relating to the subject matter hereof shall be construed to suggest otherwise. The Unitholders intend that the LLC shall be treated as a partnership for federal and, if applicable, state or local income tax purposes, and that each Unitholder and the LLC shall file all tax returns and shall otherwise take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such treatment. Without the consent of the holders of the Required Interest, the LLC shall not make an election to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation 301.7701-3 (or any successor regulation or provision) and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes. 2.10 NO UBTI; EFFECTIVELY CONNECTED INCOME. The LLC shall not engage in any transaction which is reasonably likely to cause GTCR, GTCR Capital Partners, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, the TCW/Crescent Lenders, TSG3 L.P. or any of their respective limited partners which are exempt from income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code to recognize unrelated business taxable income as defined in Section 512 and Section 514 of the Code. The LLC will use reasonable best efforts not to engage in, or invest in any Person that is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that engages in, (a) any "COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY" as defined in Section 892(a)(2)(i) of the Code or (b) transactions which will cause the LLC to incur income that is effectively connected with a "trade or business within the United States" as defined in Section 864(b) of the Code. ARTICLE III UNITS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 3.1 UNITHOLDERS. (a) GENERAL. Each Person named on SCHEDULE A attached hereto has made Capital Contributions to the LLC as set forth on SCHEDULE A in exchange for the Units or Warrants specified thereon, and each Person's initial Capital Account established pursuant to such Capital Contributions is set forth on SCHEDULE A. Any reference in this Agreement to SCHEDULE A shall be deemed to be a reference to SCHEDULE A as amended and in effect from time to time. The LLC and each such Person shall file all tax returns, including any schedules thereto, in a manner consistent with such initial Capital Accounts. Each Unitholder listed on SCHEDULE A upon (i) his, her or its execution of this Agreement or a counterpart hereto (or any predecessor agreement thereof then in effect or counterpart thereto) and (ii) receipt (or deemed receipt) by the LLC of such Person's Capital Contribution as set forth on SCHEDULE A, shall be hereby admitted to the LLC as a Unitholder of the LLC. Each Unitholder's interest in the LLC, including such Unitholder's interest in Profits, Losses and Distributions of the LLC and the right to vote on certain matters as provided in this Agreement, shall be represented by the Units owned by such Unitholder. The ownership of Units shall entitle each Unitholder to allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and distributions of cash and other property as set forth in ARTICLE IV hereof. The Board may in its discretion issue certificates to the Unitholders representing the Units held by each Unitholder. (b) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UNITHOLDERS. Each Unitholder hereby represents and warrants to the LLC and acknowledges that: (i) such Unitholder has knowledge 14 and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the LLC and making an informed investment decision with respect thereto; (ii) such Unitholder has reviewed and evaluated all information necessary to assess the merits and risks of his, her or its investment in the LLC and has had answered to such Unitholder's satisfaction any and all questions regarding such information; (iii) such Unitholder is able to bear the economic and financial risk of an investment in the LLC for an indefinite period of time; (iv) such Unitholder is acquiring interests in the LLC for investment only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution to the public or public offering thereof; (v) the interests in the LLC have not been registered under the securities laws of any jurisdiction and cannot be disposed of unless they are subsequently registered and/or qualified under applicable securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement have been complied with; (vi) to the extent applicable, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by such Unitholder and do not require such Unitholder to obtain any consent or approval that has not been obtained and do not contravene or result in a default under any provision of any law or regulation applicable to such Unitholder or other governing documents or any agreement or instrument to which such Unitholder is a party or by which such Unitholder is bound; (vii) the determination of such Unitholder to purchase interests in the LLC has been made by such Unitholder independent of any other Unitholder and independent of any statements or opinions as to the advisability of such purchase, which may have been made or given by any other Unitholder or by any agent or employee of any other Unitholder; (viii) the interests in the LLC were not offered to such Unitholder by means of general solicitation or general advertising; and (ix) this Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against such Unitholder in accordance with its terms. (c) NO LIABILITY OF UNITHOLDERS. (i) NO LIABILITY. Except as otherwise required by applicable law and as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Unitholder shall have any personal liability whatsoever in such Unitholder's capacity as a Unitholder, whether to the LLC, to any of the other Unitholders, to the creditors of the LLC or to any other third party, for the debts, liabilities, commitments or any other obligations of the LLC or for any losses of the LLC. Each Unitholder shall be liable only to make such Unitholder's Capital Contribution to the LLC and the other payments provided expressly herein. (ii) DISTRIBUTION. In accordance with the Delaware Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Unitholder of a limited liability company may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Unitholder. It is the intent of the Unitholders that no distribution to any Unitholder pursuant to ARTICLE IV hereof shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Delaware Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Unitholder shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of the Delaware Act, and the Unitholder receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or property. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Unitholder is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Unitholder and not of any other Unitholder. 15 3.2 UNITHOLDER MEETINGS. (a) VOTING OF UNITHOLDERS. A quorum shall be present at a meeting of Unitholders if the Unitholders holding the Required Interest are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate or this Agreement, the chairman of the meeting or the Unitholders holding the Required Interest shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If such meeting is adjourned by the Unitholders, such time and place shall be determined by a vote of the Unitholders holding the Required Interest. Upon the resumption of such adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. (d) ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of the Unitholders, for the transaction of such business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as the Board shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen months subsequent to the date of organization of the LLC or the last annual meeting of Unitholders, whichever most recently occurred. (e) SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Unitholders for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board or the Unitholders holding the Required Interest. If not otherwise stated in or fixed in accordance with the remaining provisions hereof, the record date for determining Unitholders entitled to call a special meeting is the date any Unitholder first signs the notice of that meeting. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the notice (or waiver thereof) required by this Agreement may be conducted at a special meeting of the Unitholders. (f) NOTICE.

(h) REQUIRED INTEREST. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all matters to be voted on pursuant to this Agreement shall require the vote of Unitholders holding the Required Interest, which vote shall only be valid and binding if a notice of the meeting at which such vote is taken is given to all Unitholders in accordance with SECTION 3.2(f). (i) PROXIES. A Unitholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Unitholder. A telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by the Unitholder, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Unitholder shall be treated as an execution in writing for purposes of this SECTION 3.2(i). Proxies for use at any meeting of Unitholders or in connection with the taking of any action by written consent pursuant to SECTION 3.3 shall be filed with the Secretary of the LLC, before or at the time of the meeting or execution of the written consent as the case may be. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Secretary of the LLC, who shall decide all questions concerning the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the LLC shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the Units that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue. (j) CONDUCT OF UNITHOLDER MEETINGS. All meetings of the Unitholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the meeting, who shall be one of the Chairman or Vice Chairman (or a representative thereof).

(a) WRITTEN CONSENT IN LIEU OF MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of Unitholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Unitholder or Unitholders holding not less than the minimum percentages of Units that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all Unitholders entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Unitholder who signs the consent. No written consent shall be effective to take the action that is the subject to the consent unless, within 60 days after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the LLC in the manner required by this SECTION 3.3(a), a consent or consents signed by the Unitholder or Unitholders holding not less than the minimum Units that would be necessary to take the action that is the subject of the consent are delivered to the LLC by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business or the chief executive officer.

A telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by a Unitholder, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing signed by a Unitholder, shall be regarded as signed by the Unitholder for purposes of this SECTION 3.3(a). Prompt notice of the taking of any action by Unitholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Unitholders who did not consent in writing to the action. (b) RECORD DATE FOR WRITTEN CONSENT IN LIEU OF MEETING. The record date for determining Unitholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the LLC by delivery to its registered office, its principal place of business, or the chief executive officer. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Delivery to the LLC's principal place of business shall be addressed to the chief executive officer. (c) FILINGS. If any action by Unitholders is taken by written consent, any certificate or documents filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware as a result of the taking of the action shall state, in lieu of any statement required by the Delaware Act concerning any vote of Unitholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Act and that any written notice required by the Delaware Act has been given. (d) TELEPHONE CONFERENCE. Unitholders may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person at such meeting, except where a Person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 18 3.4 ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL UNITS AND INTERESTS. Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the GTCR Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement, the Board shall have the right to cause the LLC to issue or sell to any Person (including Unitholders and Affiliates) any of the following (which for purposes of this Agreement shall be "ADDITIONAL SECURITIES"): (i) additional Units or other interests in the LLC (including other classes or series thereof having different rights), (ii) obligations, evidences of indebtedness, or other securities or interests convertible or exchangeable into Units or other interests in the LLC, and (iii) warrants, options, or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Units or other interests in the LLC. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions governing the issuance of such Additional Securities, including the number and designation of such Additional Securities, the preference (with respect to distributions, liquidations, or otherwise) over any other Units and any required contributions in connection therewith. Any Person who acquires Units may be admitted to the LLC as a Unitholder pursuant to the terms of SECTION 11.2 hereof. If any Person acquires additional Units or other interests in the LLC or is admitted to the LLC as an additional Unitholder, SCHEDULE A shall be amended to reflect such additional issuance and/or Unitholder, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) except with respect to Distributions in respect of the GTCR Threshold, no additional Units or other equity interests in the LLC (including securities convertible or exchangeable into Units or other equity interests in the LLC or warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire Units or other equity interests in the LLC) having a preference with respect to distributions or liquidations that is senior or pari passu to the Senior Preferred Units may be issued by the LLC without the consent of the Board and the holders of a majority of the Senior Preferred Units and (B) Class A Preferred Units shall be reserved for issuance in exchange for other Units pursuant to the terms of the Senior Management Agreements, and such Class A Preferred Units may be issued only in exchange for other Units pursuant to the terms of the Senior Management Agreements and under no other circumstances. 3.5 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. (a) The LLC shall maintain a separate Capital Account for each Unitholder according to the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). For this purpose, the LLC may (in the discretion of the Board), upon the occurrence of the events specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), increase or decrease the Capital Accounts in accordance with the rules of such regulation and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) to reflect a revaluation of LLC property. Without limiting the foregoing, each Unitholder's Capital Account shall be adjusted: (i) by adding any additional Capital Contributions made by such Unitholder in consideration for the issuance of Units; (ii) by deducting any amounts paid to such Unitholder in connection with the redemption or other repurchase by the LLC of Units; (iii) by adding any Profits allocated in favor of such Unitholder and subtracting any Losses allocated in favor of such Unitholder; and 19 (iv) by deducting any distributions paid in cash or other assets to such Unitholder by the LLC. (b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of LLC income, gain, loss, or deduction to be allocated pursuant to ARTICLE IV and to be reflected in the Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition, and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition, and classification for federal income tax purposes (including any method of depreciation, cost recovery, or amortization used for this purpose); provided that: (i) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall include those items described in Code Section 705(a)(l)(B) or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. (ii) If the Book Value of any LLC property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property. (iii) Items of income, gain, loss, or deduction attributable to the disposition of LLC property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property. (iv) Items of depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions with respect to LLC property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property's Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). (v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any LLC asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis). 3.6 NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. No Unitholder shall be required to pay to any other Unitholder or the LLC any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Unitholder's Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the LLC). 3.7 NO WITHDRAWAL. No Person shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Person's Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any Distribution from the LLC, except as expressly provided herein or in the other agreements referred to herein. 3.8 LOANS FROM UNITHOLDERS. Loans by Unitholders to the LLC shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Unitholder shall loan funds to the LLC, the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Unitholder. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the LLC to such Unitholder and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made. 20 ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 4.1 DISTRIBUTIONS. (a) DISTRIBUTIONS GENERALLY. Except as otherwise set forth in this SECTION 4.1, and subject to the provisions of Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act, the Board may in its sole discretion make Distributions at any time or from time to time. All Distributions shall be made only in the following order and priority: (i) FIRST, (subject to the right to Distributions in respect of the GTCR Threshold), to the Unitholders holding Senior Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield bears to the aggregate Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Senior Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield on such Unitholder's outstanding Senior Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(II) through (VII) below until the entire amount of the Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield on the outstanding Senior Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (ii) SECOND, (subject to the right to Distributions in respect of the GTCR Threshold), to the Unitholders holding Senior Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital with respect to such Units (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital with respect to such Senior Preferred Units bears to the aggregate amount of Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital with respect to all Senior Preferred Units) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Senior Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital with respect to such Unitholder's Senior Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(III) through (VII) below until the entire amount of Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital with respect to the outstanding Senior Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (iii) THIRD, to the Unitholders holding Class A Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unpaid Yield (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class A Unpaid Yield bears to the aggregate Class A Unpaid Yield) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class A Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unpaid Yield on such Unitholder's outstanding Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(IV) through (VII) below until the entire amount of the Class A Unpaid Yield on the outstanding Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. 21 (iv) FOURTH, to the Unitholders holding Class A Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to such Units (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to such Class A Preferred Units bears to the aggregate amount of Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class A Preferred Units) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class A Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to such Unitholder's Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(v) through (VII) below until the entire amount of Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to the outstanding Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (v) FIFTH, to the Unitholders holding Class B Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unpaid Yield (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class B Unpaid Yield bears to the aggregate Class B Unpaid Yield) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class B Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unpaid Yield on such Unitholder's outstanding Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(VI) or (VII) below until the entire amount of the Class B Unpaid Yield on the outstanding Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (vi) SIXTH, to the Unitholders holding Class B Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to such Units (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to such Class B Preferred Units bears to the aggregate amount of Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class B Preferred Units) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class B Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to such Unitholder's Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTION 4.1(a)(VII) below until the entire amount of Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to the outstanding Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (vii) SEVENTH, all remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Unitholders holding Common Units, pro-rata according to such holders' ownership of Common Units immediately prior to such Distribution. (b) GTCR THRESHOLD. Notwithstanding the distribution rights set forth in SECTIONS 4.1(a)(i) and (II) above, Distributions may be made at the discretion of the Board pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(III) through (VII) above prior to Distributions under SECTIONS 4.1(a)(i) and (II) above in an aggregate amount up to the GTCR Threshold. (c) TAX DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, so long as the LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, the LLC shall use its best efforts to distribute within 15 days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter of the LLC, to the extent that funds are legally available therefor and would not be prohibited under any credit facility or other debt instrument to which the LLC or any Subsidiary is a party, 22 an amount of cash (a "TAX DISTRIBUTION") which in the good faith judgment of the Board equals the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (x) the amount of taxable income allocable to the Unitholders in respect of the period beginning on the date hereof and ending at the close of such Fiscal Quarter, multiplied by (y) the combined maximum federal, state, and local income tax rate to be applied with respect to such taxable income (calculated by using the highest maximum combined marginal federal, state, and local income tax rates to which any Unitholder may be subject and taking into account the deductibility of state income tax for federal income tax purposes) for such period (making an appropriate adjustment for any rate changes that take place during such period) over (ii) all prior distributions made pursuant to this subsection (c) and subsections(a) and (b) above. All Tax Distributions shall be treated as an advance of Distributions for purposes of SECTION 4.1(a). (d) PERSONS RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS. Each Distribution shall be made to the Persons shown on the LLC's books and records as Unitholders as of the date of such Distribution; provided, however, that any transferor and transferee of Units may mutually agree as to which of them should receive payment of any Distribution under SECTION 4.1. 4.2 ALLOCATIONS. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 4.3, Profits and Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Unitholders in such a manner that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Unitholder, (ii) such Unitholder's share of Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)), and (iii) such Unitholder's partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to them, determined as if the LLC were to (i) liquidate the assets of the LLC for an amount equal to their Book Value, and (ii) distribute the proceeds of liquidation pursuant to SECTION 13.2. 4.3 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. (a) Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Fiscal Year in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Profits for such Fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) shall be allocated to the Unitholders in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Unitholder shall be allocated Profits for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This SECTION 4.3(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. (c) If any Unitholder that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the 23 application of SECTIONS 4.3(c) and 4.3(d) but before the application of any other provision of this ARTICLE IV, then Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Unitholder in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This SECTION 4.3(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. (d) Profits and Losses shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), (k), and (m). (e) The allocations set forth in SECTIONS 4.3(a)-(d) (the "REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Unitholders intend to allocate Profit and Loss of the LLC or make LLC distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE IV, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction, and loss shall be reallocated among the Unitholders so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Unitholders to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction, and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Unitholders anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction, and loss) among the Unitholders so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Unitholder is zero. 4.4 TAX ALLOCATIONS. (a) The income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits of the LLC will be allocated, for federal, state, and local income tax purposes, among the Unitholders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits among the Unitholders for computing their Capital Accounts; except that, if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, then the LLC's subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits will be allocated among the Unitholders so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. (b) Items of LLC taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the LLC shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the LLC for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value. (c) If the Book Value of any LLC asset is adjusted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f) subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). 24 (d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Unitholders according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). (e) Allocations pursuant to this SECTION 4.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder's Capital Account or Unit of Profits, Losses, Distributions, or other LLC items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 4.5 INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF A UNITHOLDER. If the LLC is required by law to make any payment that is specifically attributable to a Unitholder or a Unitholder's status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes, and state unincorporated business taxes), then such Unitholder shall indemnify the LLC in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The LLC may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Unitholder under this SECTION 4.5, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification and contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to 10% per annum, compounded as of the last day of each year (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law). 4.6 TRANSFER OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. If a Unitholder transfers an interest in the LLC to a new or existing Unitholder, the transferee Unitholder shall succeed to that portion of the transferor's Capital Account that is attributable to the transferred interest. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of, or Distribution to, a Unitholder that has succeeded any other Unitholder shall include any Capital Contributions or Distributions previously made by or to the former Unitholder on account of the interest of such former Unitholder transferred to such Unitholder.

A member of the Board may resign as such by delivering his, her or its written resignation to the LLC at the LLC's principal office addressed to the Board.

Any Person dealing with the LLC, other than a Unitholder, may rely on the authority of the Board (or any Officer authorized by the Board) in taking any action in the name of the LLC without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance herewith, regardless of whether that action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Every agreement, instrument or document executed by the Board (or any Officer authorized by the Board) in the name of the LLC with respect to any business or property of the LLC shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution or delivery thereof, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) such agreement, instrument or document was duly executed according to this Agreement and is binding upon the LLC and (iii) the Board or such Officer was duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver such agreement, instrument or document for and on behalf of the LLC.

The LLC shall at all times, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, cause the board of managers or board of directors of each of the LLC's Subsidiaries to be comprised of the same persons who are then Managers of the Board pursuant to SECTION 5.2(a) above. (i) BOARD OBSERVATION. For so long as TCW/Crescent Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Lenders collectively hold no less than 4% of the Common Units (calculated by including any securities of the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Lenders exercisable or convertible into Common Units), the LLC shall allow the TCW Representative to be present (whether in person or by telephone) at all meetings of the Board and all meetings of the Executive Committee of such Board, if any; PROVIDED THAT, the TCW Representative shall not be entitled to vote at such meetings; and FURTHER PROVIDED THAT, the TCW Representative shall not be entitled to attend such meetings if the Board determines that the attendance of the TCW Representative would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or if information is being discussed 28 at such meeting relating to any of the LLC's or its Subsidiaries' strategy, negotiating positions or similar matters relating to any of the TCW/Crescent Purchasers or TCW/Crescent Lenders. The LLC shall send to the TCW Representative all of the notices, information and other materials that are distributed to the members of the Board including copies of the minutes of all meetings of the Board and all notices, information and other materials that are distributed by or to the members of the Board with respect to the meetings of the Executive Committee of the Board; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT, upon the request of the TCW Representative, the LLC shall refrain from sending such notices, information and other materials to the TCW Representative for so long as the TCW Representative shall request. If the LLC proposes to take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Board, the LLC shall give notice thereof to the TCW Representative at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the members of the Board. The TCW/Crescent Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Lenders shall provide to the LLC the identity and address of, or any change with respect to the identity or address of, the TCW Representative.

A majority of the total number of Managers then serving on the Board (i.e., excluding any vacancies on the Board) must be present (including pursuant to SECTION 5.3(h)) in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board (provided that a quorum must at all times include at least either the GTCR Fund VIII Manager or the GTCR Fund VIII/B Manager), and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Managers present at a meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. A Manager who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall deliver such dissent to the LLC immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Manager who voted in favor of such action. (b) PLACE; ATTENDANCE. Meetings of the Board may be held at such place or places as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. At all meetings of the Board, business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the Board. Attendance of a Manager at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. (c) MEETING IN CONNECTION WITH UNITHOLDER MEETING. In connection with any meeting of Unitholders, the Managers may, if a quorum is present, hold a meeting for the transaction of business immediately after and at the same place as such meeting of the Unitholders. Notice of such meeting at such time and place shall not be required. (d) TIME, PLACE AND NOTICE.

(f) CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN. The Board shall designate one of the Managers to serve as Chairman and a different Manager to serve as Vice Chairman. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board. If the Chairman is absent at any meeting of the Board, the Vice Chairman shall preside over such Board meeting.

Neither the Chairman nor Vice Chairman, except in their capacity as an Officer, shall have the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the LLC, to do any act that would be binding on the LLC or to make any expenditure or incur any obligation on behalf of the LLC or authorize any of the foregoing. (g) BOARD MEETINGS. There shall be meetings of the Board from time to time as requested by holders of the Required Interest. (h) ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT OR TELEPHONE CONFERENCE. Any action permitted or required by the Delaware Act, the Certificate or this Agreement to be taken at a meeting of the Board or any committee designated by the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed by all the Managers or members of such committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and the execution of such consent shall constitute attendance or presence in person at a meeting of the Board or any such committee, as the case may be. Subject to the requirements of the Delaware Act, the Certificate or this Agreement for notice of meetings, unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate, the Managers or members of any committee designated by the Board may participate in and hold a meeting of the Board or any committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 5.4 COMMITTEES; DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY AND DUTIES. (a) COMMITTEES; GENERALLY. The Board may, from time to time, designate one or more committees, each of which shall include at least two (2) Managers designated by any combination of GTCR Fund VIII, GTCR Fund VIII/B or GTCR LLC. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the enabling resolution or in the Certificate or this Agreement, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption of any resolution. The Board may dissolve any committee at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate or this Agreement. 30 (b) AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Board may establish an audit committee to select the LLC's independent accountants and to review the annual audit of the LLC's financial statements conducted by such accountants. (c) DELEGATION; GENERALLY. The Board may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons (including any Manager or Officer) such authority and duties as the Board may deem advisable in addition to those powers and duties set forth in SECTION 5.1(b) hereof. The Board also may assign titles (including chairman, chief executive officer, president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer) to any Manager, Unitholder or other individual and may delegate to such Manager, Unitholder or other individual certain authority and duties. Any number of titles may be held by the same Manager, Unitholder or other individual. Any delegation pursuant to this SECTION 5.4(c) may be revoked at any time by the Board. (d) THIRD-PARTY RELIANCE. Any Person dealing with the LLC, other than a Unitholder, may rely on the authority of any Officer in taking any action in the name of the LLC without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance herewith, regardless of whether that action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 5.5 OFFICERS. (a) DESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT. The Board may (but need not), from time to time, designate and appoint one or more persons as an Officer of the LLC. No Officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware, a Unitholder or a Manager. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. Unless the Board otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to (i) any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the Board pursuant to the third sentence of this SECTION 5.5(a) or (ii) any delegation of authority and duties made to one or more Officers pursuant to the terms of SECTIONS 5.4(c) and 5.5(c). Each Officer shall hold office until such Officer's successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until such Officer's death or until such Officer shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any number of offices may be held by the same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers and agents of the LLC shall be fixed from time to time by the Board. (b) RESIGNATION; REMOVAL. Any Officer (subject to any contract rights available to the LLC, if applicable) may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, by the Board in its discretion at any time; provided, however, that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the individual so removed. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create contract rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the LLC may be filled by the Board. 31 (c) DUTIES OF OFFICERS; GENERALLY. The Officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Unitholders duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware.

He or she shall be responsible for the employment of employees, agents and Officers (other than the chief executive officer) as may be required for the conduct of the business and the attainment of the objectives of the LLC. He or she shall have authority to suspend or to remove any employee, agent or Officer (other than the chief executive officer) of the LLC and, in the case of the suspension for cause of any such Officer, to recommend to the Board what further action should be taken. In the absence of the president, his or her duties shall be performed and his or her authority may be exercised by the chief executive officer. In the absence of the president and the chief executive officer, the duties of the president shall be performed and his or her authority may be exercised by such Officer as may have been designated as the most senior officer of the LLC. The president shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the chief executive officer or the Board. (iii) CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. The chief financial officer shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, adequate and correct books and records of accounts of the properties and business transactions of the LLC, including accounts of its assets, liabilities, receipts, disbursements, gains, losses, capital and Units.

(C) If the Board chooses to appoint an assistant secretary or assistant secretaries, the assistant secretaries, in the order of their seniority, in the absence, disability or inability to act of the secretary, shall perform the duties and exercise the powers of the secretary, and shall perform such other duties as the Board may from time to time prescribe. ARTICLE VI GENERAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF UNITHOLDERS 6.1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the LLC, and no Unitholder shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation, or liability of the LLC solely by reason of being a Unitholder of the LLC; provided that a Unitholder shall be required to return to the LLC any Distribution made to it in clear and manifest accounting or similar error. The immediately preceding sentence shall constitute a compromise to which all Unitholders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Unitholders for liabilities of the LLC. 6.2 LACK OF AUTHORITY. No Unitholder in his, her, or its capacity as such (other than the members of the Board acting as the Board or an authorized Officer of the LLC) has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the LLC in any manner, to do any act that would be (or could be construed as) binding on the LLC or to make any expenditures on behalf of the LLC, and the Unitholders hereby consent to the exercise by the Board of the powers conferred on it by law and this Agreement. 6.3 NO RIGHT OF PARTITION. No Unitholder shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any LLC property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the LLC. 6.4 UNITHOLDERS RIGHT TO ACT. For situations which the approval of any Unitholders or class thereof (rather than the approval of the Board on behalf of the Unitholders) is required, the Unitholders shall act through meetings and written consents as described in SECTION 3.2. 33 6.5 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A Unitholder, its Affiliates and each of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, controlling persons, partners and employees (collectively, the "UNITHOLDER GROUP") may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the LLC and its Subsidiaries, except as any such Person may have otherwise agreed with the LLC or any of its Subsidiaries in writing. Neither the LLC nor any Unitholder shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any such Person except for any business interests or activities which any such Person has agreed in writing with the LLC or any of its Subsidiaries to not pursue or consummate (whether directly or indirectly), in which case all of such Person's direct and indirect interest in such business interests or activities shall become an asset of the LLC and the LLC shall be entitled to all rights in such business interests or activities and to all income or profits derived therefrom. 6.6 TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE LLC AND THE UNITHOLDERS. Notwithstanding that it may constitute a conflict of interest, the Unitholders or their Affiliates may engage in any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or rendering of any service or the establishment of any salary, other compensation or other terms of employment) with the LLC so long as such transaction is approved by the Board. ARTICLE VII EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 7.1 EXCULPATION. No Officer or Manager shall be liable to any other Officer, Manager, the LLC or to any Unitholder for any loss suffered by the LLC unless such loss is caused by such Person's gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or material breach of this Agreement. The Officers and Managers shall not be liable for errors in judgment or for any acts or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or material breach of this Agreement. Any Officer or Manager may consult with counsel and accountants in respect of LLC affairs, and provided such Person acts in good faith reliance upon the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants, such Person shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the LLC in reliance thereon. 7.2 RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this ARTICLE VII, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative (hereinafter a "PROCEEDING"), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Unitholder, Manager or Officer, or while a Unitholder, Manager or Officer is or was serving at the request of the LLC as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the LLC to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the LLC to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the LLC to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable 34 expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this ARTICLE VII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this ARTICLE VII shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VII could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability. 7.3 ADVANCE PAYMENT. Reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under SECTION 7.2 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding shall be paid by the LLC in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding unless otherwise determined by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the LLC. 7.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The LLC, by adoption of a resolution of the Board, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the LLC to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to Persons who are not or were not Managers or Officers but who are or were serving at the request of the LLC as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a Person to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to Managers and Officers under this ARTICLE VII. 7.5 APPEARANCE AS A WITNESS.

The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which a Manager, Officer or other Person indemnified pursuant to SECTION 7.2 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate or this Agreement, agreement, vote of Unitholders or disinterested Managers or otherwise. 7.7 INSURANCE. The LLC may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Person who is or was serving as a Manager, Officer or agent of the LLC or is or was serving at the request of the LLC as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the LLC would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under this ARTICLE VII. 35 7.8 SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this ARTICLE VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the LLC shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, Officer or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VII as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this ARTICLE VII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. ARTICLE VIII BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS 8.1 RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING. The LLC shall keep, or cause to be kept, appropriate books and records with respect to the LLC's business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists, and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to SECTION 8.3 or pursuant to applicable laws. All matters concerning (i) the determination of the relative amount of allocations and distributions among the Unitholders pursuant to ARTICLES III and IV and (ii) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Unitholders absent manifest clerical error. 8.2 FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year (the "FISCAL YEAR") of the LLC shall constitute the 12-month period ending on March 31 of each calendar year, or such other annual accounting period as may be established by the Board. 8.3 TAX INFORMATION. The LLC shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, within 75 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, to each Person who was a Unitholder at any time during such Fiscal Year all information necessary for the preparation of such Person's United States federal and state income tax returns. 8.4 TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS. Each Person that owns or controls Units on behalf of, or for the benefit of, another Person or Persons shall be responsible for conveying any report, notice, or other communication received from the Board to such other Person or Persons. 8.5 LLC FUNDS.

Each Unitholder shall furnish to the LLC all pertinent information in its possession relating to LLC operations that is necessary to enable the LLC's income tax returns to be prepared and filed. 36 9.2 TAX ELECTIONS. The LLC shall make any election the LLC may deem appropriate and in the best interests of the Unitholders. 9.3 TAX MATTERS PARTNER. GTCR Fund VIII (or an Affiliate so designated by GTCR Fund VIII) shall be the "tax matters partner" of the LLC pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the "TAX MATTERS PARTNER"). The Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Unitholder to become a "notice partner" within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code. The Tax Matters Partner shall inform each other Unitholder of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth business day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Unitholder copies of all significant written communications he may receive in that capacity. The Tax Matters Partner may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code without the consent of the Board, but this sentence does not authorize the Tax Matters Partner (or any Manager) to take any action left to the determination of an individual Unitholder under Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code. ARTICLE X TRANSFER OF LLC INTERESTS 10.1 TRANSFERS BY UNITHOLDERS. (a) Except for Transfers made in compliance with the Securityholders Agreement, the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement, the Senior Management Agreements and the Registration Agreement, no Unitholder shall Transfer any interest in any Units except to Permitted Transferees and in compliance with this ARTICLE X. Except for Transfers made in compliance with the Securityholders Agreement, the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement, the Senior Management Agreements and the Registration Agreement, no Unitholder shall Transfer, or offer or agree to Transfer, all or any part of any interest of such Person's Units without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be withheld in the Board's sole discretion. With the Board's consent, a Unitholder may Transfer all or any part of such Person's Units, subject to compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, SECTION 10.1(b)). (b) Each transferee of Units or other interest in the LLC shall, as a condition precedent to such Transfer, execute a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 10.2 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. (a) Any Unitholder who shall assign any Units or other interest in the LLC shall cease to be a Unitholder of the LLC with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Unitholder with respect to such Units or other interest. (b) Any Person who acquires in any manner whatsoever any Units or other interest in the LLC, irrespective of whether such Person has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to have agreed to be subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions 37 of this Agreement that any predecessor in such Units or other interest in the LLC of such Person was subject to or by which such predecessor was bound. 10.3 RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. In order to permit the LLC to qualify for the benefit of a "safe harbor" under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Unit or economic interest shall be permitted or recognized by the LLC or the Board (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) if and to the extent that such Transfer would cause the LLC to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)). 10.4 TRANSFER FEES AND EXPENSES. The transferor and transferee of any Units or other interest in the LLC shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the LLC for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) of any Transfer or proposed Transfer, whether or not consummated. 10.5 VOID TRANSFERS. Any Transfer by any Unitholder of any Units or other interest in the LLC in contravention of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure of the transferee to execute a counterpart in accordance with SECTION 10.1(b)) or which would cause the LLC to not be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the LLC or any other party. No purported assignee shall have any right to any profits, losses or distributions of the LLC. ARTICLE XI ADMISSION OF UNITHOLDERS 11.1 SUBSTITUTED UNITHOLDERS. In connection with the transfer of an LLC Interest of a Unitholder permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the transferee shall become a Substituted Unitholder on the effective date of such Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance with or waiver of the conditions to such Transfer (unless one of the conditions to such Transfer is that Board or Unitholder consent is required for the admission of such transferee, in which case such consent must first be obtained), including executing counterparts of, and become a party to, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the transferor Unitholder was a party, and such admission shall be shown on the books and records of the LLC. 11.2 ADDITIONAL UNITHOLDERS. A Person may be admitted to the LLC as an Additional Unitholder only as contemplated under, and in compliance with, the terms of this Agreement, including furnishing to the Board (a) a letter of acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Board, of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the power of attorney granted in SECTION 15.1, and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person's admission as a Unitholder (including counterparts or joinders to all applicable Transaction Documents). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the Board determines in its sole discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the LLC. 38 11.3 OPTIONHOLDERS. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no Person that holds securities (including options, warrants, or rights) exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible into Units shall have any rights with respect to such Units until such Person is actually issued Units upon such exercise, exchange, or conversion and, if such Person is not then a Unitholder, is admitted as a Unitholder pursuant to SECTION 11.2. ARTICLE XII WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION OF UNITHOLDERS 12.1 WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION OF UNITHOLDERS. No Unitholder shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign or be expelled from the LLC prior to the dissolution and winding up of the LLC pursuant to ARTICLE XII, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or any of the other agreements contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding that payment on account of a withdrawal may be made after the effective time of such withdrawal, any completely withdrawing Unitholder will not be considered a Unitholder for any purpose after the effective time of such complete withdrawal, and, in the case of a partial withdrawal, such Unitholder's Capital Account (and corresponding voting and other rights) shall be reduced for all other purposes hereunder upon the effective time of such partial withdrawal. 12.2 WITHDRAWAL OF A UNITHOLDER. No Unitholder shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign from the LLC except simultaneous with the Transfer of all of a Unitholder's Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement and, if such Transfer is to a person or entity that is not a Unitholder, the admission of such person or entity as a Unitholder pursuant to SECTION 11.1. ARTICLE XIII DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION 13.1 DISSOLUTION. The LLC shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Unitholders or Substituted Unitholders, or by the death, retirement, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Unitholder. The LLC shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (a) at any time by the Board; or (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the LLC under Section 35-5 of the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article XIII, the LLC is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the LLC and the LLC shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 13.2 LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION. On dissolution of the LLC, the Board shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more representatives or Unitholders as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the LLC, sell all or any portion of the LLC assets for cash or cash equivalents as they deem appropriate, and make final 39 distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as an LLC expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the LLC properties with all of the power and authority of the Board. The liquidators shall pay, satisfy, or discharge from LLC funds all of the debts, liabilities, and obligations of the LLC (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine) and shall promptly distribute the remaining assets to the holders of Units in accordance with SECTION 4.1(a). Any non-cash assets will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with SECTIONS 4.2 and 4.3. In making such distributions, the liquidators shall allocate each type of asset (i.e., cash, cash equivalents, securities, etc.) among the Unitholders ratably based upon the aggregate amounts to be distributed with respect to the Units held by each such holder. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to (x) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (y) the terms and conditions of any agreement governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Unitholder in accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 13.2 constitutes a complete return to the Unitholder of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Unitholder of its interest in the LLC and all the LLC's property and constitutes a compromise to which all Unitholders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Unitholder returns funds to the LLC, it has no claim against any other Unitholder for those funds. 13.3 CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATE. On completion of the distribution of LLC assets as provided herein, the LLC shall be terminated (and the LLC shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Board (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the LLC. The LLC shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this SECTION 13.3. 13.4 REASONABLE TIME FOR WINDING UP. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the LLC and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to SECTION 13.2 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. 13.5 RETURN OF CAPITAL. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Unitholders (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from LLC assets). 13.6 RESERVES AGAINST DISTRIBUTIONS. The Board shall have the right to withhold from Distributions payable to any Unitholder under this Agreement amounts sufficient to pay and discharge any reasonably anticipated contingent liabilities of the LLC. Any amounts remaining after payment and discharge of any such contingent liabilities of the LLC will be paid to the Unitholders from whom the Distributions were withheld. 40 ARTICLE XIV VALUATION 14.1 DETERMINATION. Subject to SECTION 14.2, the Fair Market Value of the assets of the LLC or of a LLC Interest will be determined by the Board (or, if pursuant to SECTION 13.2, the liquidators) in its good faith judgment in such manner as its deems reasonable and using all factors, information and data deemed to be pertinent. 14.2 FAIR MARKET VALUE. "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of (i) a specific LLC asset will mean the amount which the LLC would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset (free and clear of all Liens and after payment of all liabilities secured only by such asset) in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale); and (ii) the LLC will mean the amount which the LLC would receive in an all-cash sale of all of its assets and businesses as a going concern (free and clear of all Liens and after payment of indebtedness for borrowed money) in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (assuming that all of the proceeds from such sale were paid directly to the LLC other than an amount of such proceeds necessary to pay transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale, which amount will not be received or deemed received by the LLC). After a determination of the Fair Market Value of the LLC is made as provided above, the Fair Market Value of a Unit will be determined by making a calculation reflecting the cash distributions which would be made to the Unitholders in accordance with this Agreement in respect of such Unit if the LLC were deemed to have received such Fair Market Value in cash and then distributed the same to the Unitholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement incident to the liquidation of the LLC after payment to all of the LLC's creditors from such cash receipts other than payments to creditors who hold evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money, the payment of which is already reflected in the calculation of the Fair Market Value of the LLC and assuming that all of the convertible debt and other convertible securities were repaid or converted (whichever yields more cash to the holders of such convertible securities) and all options to acquire Units (whether or not currently exercisable) that have an exercise price below the Fair Market Value of such Units were exercised and the exercise price therefor paid. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, any amount to be paid under this Agreement by reference to the Fair Market Value shall be paid in full in cash, and any Unit being transferred in exchange therefor will be transferred free and clear of all Liens. ARTICLE XV GENERAL PROVISIONS 15.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY. (a) Each Unitholder hereby constitutes and appoints each member of the Board and the liquidators, with full power of substitution, as his or its true and lawful agent and 41 attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in his or its name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record in the appropriate public offices (i) this Agreement, all certificates, and other instruments and all amendments (in the manner set forth herein) thereof in accordance with the terms hereof which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the LLC as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and in all other jurisdictions in which the LLC may conduct business or own property; (ii) all instruments which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification, or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (iii) all conveyances and other instruments or documents which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the LLC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a certificate of cancellation; and (iv) all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal, or substitution of any Unitholder pursuant to ARTICLE XI and XII. (b) The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, or termination of any Unitholder and the Transfer of all or any portion of his or its LLC Interest and shall extend to such Unitholder's heirs, successors, assigns, and personal representatives. 15.2 AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended from time to time pursuant to a written instrument executed by the holders of the Required Interest; PROVIDED that: (a) no amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 15.2 that by its terms would adversely and disproportionately affect any Unitholder (or group of Unitholders) of a particular class of Units in a manner different from the other Unitholders of such class of Units shall be effective against such Unitholder (or particular group of Unitholders) without the prior written consent of such Unitholder (or, in the case of a group, the holders of a majority of the Units held by such group) so affected thereby; (b) no amendment or modification pursuant to this SECTION 15.2 that by its terms expressly amends in an adverse manner any right specifically granted to a particular Unitholder (or a particular group of Unitholders) hereunder shall be effective without the prior written consent of such Unitholder(s) (e.g., no amendment or modification of SECTION 2.10 or 5.2(i) (or any defined term used directly or indirectly therein) that would expressly modify in an adverse manner any of the rights specifically granted to TCW/Crescent Purchasers thereunder shall be effective without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Units held by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers); and (c) no amendment or modification of this clause (c), SECTION 4.1(a)(i), 4.1(a)(II), 4.1(b), 15.7(b), clause (A) of the last sentence of SECTION 3.4, or SCHEDULE 1 attached hereto (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in any such Section, provision or schedule), that would expressly modify in an adverse manner any right specifically granted to the holders of Senior Preferred Units thereunder shall be effective without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Senior Preferred Units then outstanding. 15.3 TITLE TO LLC ASSETS. LLC assets shall be deemed to be owned by the LLC as an entity, and no Unitholder, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such LLC assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to any or all LLC assets may be held in the name of the LLC or one or more nominees, as the Board may determine. The Board hereby declares and warrants that any LLC assets for which legal title is held in its name or the name of any nominee shall be held in trust by the Board or such nominee for the use and benefit of the LLC in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All LLC assets shall be recorded as the 42 property of the LLC on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such LLC assets is held. 15.4 REMEDIES. Each Unitholder and the LLC shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. 15.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not. 15.6 SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 15.7 INCORPORATION OF THE LLC; CONVERSION OF SENIOR PREFERRED UNITS. (a) The Board may, in order to facilitate a public offering of securities, or for other reasons that the Board deems in the best interests of the LLC or the Unitholders, cause the LLC to incorporate its business, or any portion thereof, including by (i) the transfer of all of the assets of the LLC, subject to the LLC's liabilities, or the transfer of any portion of such assets and liabilities, to one or more corporations in exchange for shares of such corporation(s) and the subsequent distribution of such shares, at such time as the Board may determine, to the Unitholders on a pro rata basis, (ii) conversion of the LLC into a corporation pursuant to 6 Del. C. Section 18-216 (or any successor section thereto) or (iii) Transfer by each Unitholder of Units held by such Unitholder to one or more corporations in exchange for shares of such corporation(s) (including by merger of the LLC into a corporation) and, in connection therewith, each Unitholder agrees to the Transfer of its Units in accordance with the terms of exchange as provided by the Board and further agrees that as of the effective date of such exchange any Unit outstanding thereafter which shall not have been tendered for exchange shall represent only the right to receive a certificate representing the number of shares of such corporation(s) as provided in the terms of such exchange. In connection with any such reorganization or exchange as provided above, each Unitholder of a particular class shall receive the same form of securities and the same amount of securities per Unit of such class and if any holders of a class of Units are given an option as to the form and amount of securities to be received, each holder of such class of Units shall be given the same option. The LLC shall pay any and all organizational, legal and accounting expenses and filing fees incurred in connection with such incorporation transaction, 43 including, without limitation, any fees related to a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Anti-Trust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if applicable. (b) Notwithstanding any implication herein to the contrary, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Senior Preferred Units may elect, by delivering written notice to the LLC within 10 days after being notified that the LLC (or any successor of the LLC) plans to consummate its initial Public Offering (an "IPO CONVERSION NOTICE"), to cause each Senior Preferred Unit then outstanding (or each security exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) to be converted immediately prior to the consummation of such initial Public Offering into a number of the same class of securities being offered in such Public Offering equal to the result of (i) the sum of the Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital and the Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield of such Senior Preferred Unit, in each case as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the consummation of such Public Offering, divided by (ii) the per unit price at which such securities will initially be offered to the public in such offering (excluding all underwriter's and similar discounts); PROVIDED that, if an IPO Conversion Notice is delivered to the LLC within the time period provided above, then (i) each holder of Senior Preferred Units (or any security exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) shall be obligated to convert all (but not less than all) of such holder's then outstanding Senior Preferred Units (or securities exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) immediately prior to consummation of such initial Public Offering and (ii) the LLC (or successor thereto) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the underwriter(s) managing such offering to include such conversion securities in such offering after inclusion of all securities to be registered for the account of the Company or other initiating holder(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any conversion securities are not included in the offering, such securities and the holder(s) thereof shall be subject to the holdback restrictions contained in Section 5 of the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement. If an IPO Conversion Notice is not delivered to the LLC within the time period provided above and if such initial Public Offering is subsequently consummated, then the holders of Senior Preferred Units (or securities exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) shall no longer have any rights of conversion hereunder. 15.8 REPURCHASE OF UNITS BY THE LLC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Senior Management Agreement, the LLC may exercise (or fulfill) its repurchase rights (or obligations) with respect to a holder of Units subject to such rights (or obligations) pursuant to a Senior Management Agreement, in whole or in part, in each case, by distributing to such holder securities issued by a Subsidiary of the LLC with a value equal to the sum of (a) the repurchase price of the Class B Preferred Units of such holder to be repurchased and (b) the repurchase price of the Common Units of such holder to be repurchased and following such distribution the Subsidiary that issued the distributed securities redeems or repurchases such securities from such holder for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (a) the repurchase price of the Class B Preferred Units of such holder to be repurchased and (b) the repurchase price of the Common Units of such holder to be repurchased. The LLC and the holder agree to treat such distribution as a distribution of securities of the Subsidiary under Code Section 731(a). 15.9 OPT-IN TO ARTICLE 8 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. The Unitholders hereby agree that the Units shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code 44 of the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction). 15.10 NOTICE TO UNITHOLDER OF PROVISIONS. By executing this Agreement, each Unitholder acknowledges that it has actual notice of (a) all of the provisions hereof (including the restrictions on the transfer set forth herein), and (b) all of the provisions of the Certificate. 15.11 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. 15.12 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Each Unitholder irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware and the state courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Unitholder further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States certified or registered mail to such Unitholder's respective address set forth in the LLC's books and records or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Unitholder irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the State of Delaware or the state courts of the State of Delaware and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 15.13 DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS; INTERPRETATION. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document, or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words "or," "either," and "any" shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this 45 Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict. 15.14 APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard in the state or federal courts of Delaware, and the parties agree to jurisdiction and venue therein. 15.15 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE LLC) HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. 15.16 ADDRESSES AND NOTICES. All notices, demands, or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when (a) delivered personally to the recipient, (b) telecopied to the recipient (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on a business day, and otherwise on the next business day, or (c) one business day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid). Such notices, demands, and other communications shall be sent to the address for such recipient set forth in the LLC's books and records, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein are defined in SECTION 6 hereof. The parties hereto agree as follows: Section 1. AUTHORIZATION AND CLOSING. A. AUTHORIZATION OF THE SECURITIES. The Company shall authorize the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of up to 245,000 of its Class B Preferred Units (the "CLASS B PREFERRED UNITS"), and up to 50,000,000 of its Common Units (the "COMMON UNITS"), each having the rights and preferences set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto. The Class B Preferred Units and the Common Units are collectively referred to herein as the "SECURITIES." B. PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Securities which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers are collectively purchasing hereunder shall be allocated among the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Purchaser's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Purchaser Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto. (c) The initial closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (the "INITIAL CLOSING") shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 200 E. Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois at 10:00 a.m. on the date hereof. (d) The Company has been organized for the purpose of owning a company or companies in the consumer products industry. In addition to the $102,220,951 invested by the GTCR Purchasers on the Initial Closing Date pursuant to SECTION 1.B(a) above, the GTCR Purchasers intend to provide up to $144,779,049 in equity financing to the Company as the equity portion of the debt and equity financing necessary to fund such business(es), in each case as approved by the Board of Managers of the Company (the "BOARD") and the GTCR Purchasers (an "APPROVED USE"). The GTCR Purchasers' obligation to purchase any Securities pursuant to this SECTION 1.B will be conditioned on the Company's not being in default under any of its material agreements, adequate debt financing being available to fund any proposed acquisition or other Approved Use on terms satisfactory to the GTCR Purchasers, and the Company's operations and the acquisition or other Approved Use being satisfactory to the GTCR Purchasers. In order to implement the foregoing, the GTCR Purchasers may purchase from time to time after the Initial Closing, upon the written request of the Board in connection with an Approved Use, up to an aggregate of 144,779.049 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit (as adjusted from time to time as a result of unit dividends, unit splits, recapitalizations and similar events) (each such purchase, a "SUBSEQUENT CLOSING"). For any Subsequent Closing, each GTCR Purchaser shall purchase the percentage of such Securities set forth next to such GTCR Purchaser's name on the signature page attached hereto by payment of the aggregate purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is designated by the Company.

Each Subsequent Closing shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 200 E. Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois at 10:00 a.m. on such date as may be mutually agreeable to the Company and the GTCR Purchasers. At the time of any Subsequent Closing, the GTCR Purchasers shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall be obligated to deliver, satisfactory representations and warranties and all other information and documentation as the GTCR Purchasers may reasonably request. (e) TCW/CRESCENT SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by .02851 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; provided that if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers choose not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units 2 they are entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, they may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers do not purchase shares of Class B Preferred Units, the GTCR Purchasers shall have the right to purchase from the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that the TCW/Crescent Purchasers would have been entitled to invest had the TCW/Crescent Purchasers participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $7,127,858 (i.e., the TCW/Crescent Purchasers' total committed equity) (the "Ratio"). The Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such right to purchase in favor of the GTCR Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the GTCR Purchasers at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) Business Days after such Closing and (ii) shall not, under any circumstances, permit the GTCR Purchasers to purchase any Common Units held by TCW/Crescent Purchasers or their transferees as a result of the exercise of the TCW Warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Company, GTCR Capital Partners, L.P. and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (as defined therein)). "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this Section 1.B(e) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in Section 6 hereof. (iii) The purchase price for each Common Unit repurchased pursuant to this Section 1.B(e) will be $0.10 per unit (each as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent unit splits, unit dividends and other recapitalizations). (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to the this Section 1.B(e) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each GTCR Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The GTCR Purchasers will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. Section 2.

J. ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES. Upon the request of the GTCR Purchasers, the Company and its Subsidiaries will cause its accounting firm to conduct additional procedures with respect to, and monitor and evaluate, the Company's and any Subsidiary's executive compensation, expense reimbursement and related-party transactions policies and practices. 12 Section 4.

No other course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Securities or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Certificate of Formation shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any such holders. For purposes of this Agreement, Securities held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be outstanding. E. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by any party in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of any investigation made by a Purchaser or on its behalf. F. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement that are for each Purchaser's benefit as a purchaser 21 or holder of Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of such Securities.

H. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. I. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. J. DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

All other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. M. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Exhibit 10.9 [EXECUTION COPY] FIRST AMENDMENT, ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SUPPLEMENT TO UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT This First Amendment, Acknowledgment and Supplement to Unit Purchase Agreement (this "AMENDMENT AND SUPPLEMENT"), dated as of April 6, 2004, is made to the Unit Purchase Agreement (the "AGREEMENT"), dated as of February 6, 2004, by and among Medtech/Denorex, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (n/k/a Prestige International Holdings, LLC, the "COMPANY"), GTCR Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, GTCR Co-Invest II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (as defined therein). Each capitalized term used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Agreement. WHEREAS, the Company is indirectly acquiring all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc., a Virginia corporation and ultimate parent of Prestige Brands International, Inc. (the "ACQUISITION"); and WHEREAS, in connection with the Acquisition and in order to better reflect the intent of the parties, the undersigned desire to amend certain terms of the Agreement, add GTCR Capital Partners (as defined below) as a party to the Agreement, make certain acknowledgments with respect to the Agreement and reaffirm the other terms and provisions of the Agreement; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1.B of the Agreement (as amended hereby), the Purchasers (as defined in this Amendment and Supplement) desire to purchase, and the Company desires to sell to the Purchasers, 58,179.25 Class B Preferred Units for an aggregate purchase price of $58,179,250. NOW, THEREFORE, effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition (with respect to the amendments provided herein) or simultaneous to the consummation of the Acquisition (with respect to the purchase of Class B Preferred Units described herein), the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: AMENDMENT PROVISIONS 1. Each reference, if any, in the Agreement to any of the entities identified below shall be deemed a reference to such entity's new name, as indicated: (a) Medtech/Denorex, LLC n/k/a Prestige International Holdings, LLC; (b) SNS Household Holdings, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Household Holdings, Inc.; (c) SNS Household Brands, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Household Brands, Inc.; (d) Medtech Acquisition Holdings, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Products Holdings, Inc.; (e) Medtech Acquisition, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Brands, Inc.; (f) Medtech/Denorex Management, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Brands, Inc., as successor by merger; (g) Denorex Acquisition Holdings, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Personal Care Holdings, Inc.; and (h) Denorex Acquisition, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Personal Care, Inc. 2. The following defined terms (and related definitions) shall be added to the Agreement: (a) "GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS" means GTCR Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. (b) "PARTICIPATING PURCHASERS" means, with respect to any Subsequent Closing, the Purchasers who participate in such Subsequent Closing as provided herein. (c) "WARRANT AGREEMENT" means the Warrant Agreement dated as of February 6, 2004, by and among the Company, GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (as defined therein). 3. The definitions for each of the following defined terms in the Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and amended and restated as follows: (a) "PURCHASERS" means the GTCR Purchasers, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners (and each individually a "PURCHASER"). 4. The last sentence of Section 1.B(b) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and restated as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Securities which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers are collectively purchasing hereunder (or which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees) are collectively selling pursuant to the repurchase provisions hereunder) shall be allocated among the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Purchaser's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Purchaser Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto. 5. Sections 1.B(e)(i), (ii) and (iv) of the Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and amended and restated as follows: (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by 0.0278 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; PROVIDED THAT, if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers choose not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units they are entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, they may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. 2 (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers do not purchase Class B Preferred Units, the Participating Purchasers with respect to such Subsequent Closing shall have the right to purchase from the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that the TCW/Crescent Purchasers would have been entitled to invest had the TCW/Crescent Purchasers participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $6,945,918 (i.e., the TCW/Crescent Purchasers' total committed equity) (the "TCW/CRESCENT PURCHASERS' RATIO"). The TCW/Crescent Purchasers' Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such right to purchase in favor of the Participating Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the Purchasers at least three (3) business days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) business days after such Subsequent Closing, (ii) shall not, under any circumstances, permit the Participating Purchasers to purchase any Common Units held by TCW/Crescent Purchasers or their transferees as a result of the exercise of the TCW Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) and (iii) shall, if the Participating Purchasers elect to purchase an aggregate number of Common Units under this SECTION 1.B(e) greater than the number determined to be available for purchase in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 1.B(e), then the available Common Units shall be allocated among the Participating Purchasers on a pro rata basis consistent with each such Participating Purchaser's portion of the investment made pursuant to such Subsequent Closing. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this SECTION 1.B(e) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in SECTION 6 hereof. (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(e) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each Participating Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Participating Purchasers will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. 3 6. A new Section 1.B(f) shall be added to the Agreement as follows: (f) GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing, GTCR Capital Partners may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by 0.0255 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; PROVIDED THAT, if GTCR Capital Partners chooses not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units it is entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, it may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which GTCR Capital Partners does not purchase Class B Preferred Units, the Participating Purchasers with respect to such Subsequent Closing shall have the right to purchase from GTCR Capital Partners and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that GTCR Capital Partners would have been entitled to invest had GTCR Capital Partners participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $6,381,314 (i.e., GTCR Capital Partners' total committed equity) (the "GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS' RATIO"). The GTCR Capital Partners' Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by GTCR Capital Partners and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such right to purchase in favor of the Participating Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if GTCR Capital Partners (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the Purchasers at least three (3) business days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) business days after such Subsequent Closing and (ii) shall, if the Participating Purchasers elect to purchase an aggregate number of Common Units under this SECTION 1.B(f) greater than the number determined to be available for purchase in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 1.B(f), then the available Common Units shall be allocated among the Participating Purchasers on a pro rata basis consistent with each such Participating Purchaser's portion of the investment made pursuant to such Subsequent Closing. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this SECTION 1.B(f) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in SECTION 6 hereof. 4 (iii) The purchase price for each Common Unit repurchased pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(f) will be $0.10 per unit (each as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent unit splits, unit dividends and other recapitalizations). (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(f) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to GTCR Capital Partners in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each Participating Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Participating Purchasers will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. 7. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Transaction Documents shall be such document as amended from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof. 8.

Exhibit 10.10 [EXECUTION COPY] SECOND AMENDMENT, ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND SUPPLEMENT TO UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT This Second Amendment, Acknowledgment and Supplement to Unit Purchase Agreement (this "AMENDMENT AND SUPPLEMENT"), dated as of April 6, 2004, is made to the Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 6, 2004, by and among Medtech/Denorex, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (n/k/a Prestige International Holdings, LLC, the "COMPANY"), GTCR Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, GTCR Co-Invest II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (as defined therein), as amended by the First Amendment, Acknowledgment and Supplement to Unit Purchase Agreement (the "FIRST AMENDMENT"), dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, GTCR Fund VIII, GTCR Fund VIII/B, GTCR Co-Invest, GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (the "AGREEMENT").

The following defined terms (and related definitions) shall be added to the Agreement: (a) "TCW/CRESCENT LENDERS" means collectively, TCW/Crescent Mezzanine Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, TCW/Crescent Mezzanine Trust III, a Delaware business trust, and TCW/Crescent Mezzanine Partners III Netherlands, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, any of their Affiliates or any investment fund for whom Trust Company of the West or any Affiliate of Trust Company of the West acts as an account manager. 2. The definitions for each of the following defined terms in the Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and amended and restated as follows: (a) "PURCHASERS" means the GTCR Purchasers, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (and each individually a "PURCHASER"). 3. The last sentence of Section 1.B(b) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and restated as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Securities which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers or TCW/Crescent Lenders, as the case may be, are collectively purchasing hereunder (or which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees) or the TCW/Crescent Lenders (or their transferees), as the case may be, are collectively selling pursuant to the repurchase provisions hereunder) shall be allocated among the TCW/Crescent Purchasers or TCW/Crescent Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Purchaser's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Purchaser Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto or in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Lender's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Lender Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto, as the case may be. 4. The heading of Section 1.B(e) shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and restated as follows: (e) TCW/CRESCENT PURCHASERS SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. 5. In Section 1.B(e)(i) of the Agreement, the number "0.0278" shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the number "0.0537". 6. In Section 1.B(e)(ii) of the Agreement, the dollar amount of "$6,945,918" shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the dollar amount of "$13,435,226". 7. In Section 1.B(f)(i) of the Agreement, the number "0.0255" shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the number "0.0248". 8. In Section 1.B(f)(ii) of the Agreement, the dollar amount of "$6,381,314" shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the dollar amount of "$6,189,061". 9. A new Section 1.B(g) shall be added to the Agreement as follows: (g) TCW/CRESCENT LENDERS SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing occurring after the date of the Second Amendment, Acknowledgment and Supplement to Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2004 (the "SECOND AMENDMENT"), the TCW/Crescent Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being 2 purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by 0.0033 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; PROVIDED THAT, if the TCW/Crescent Lenders choose not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units it is entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, they may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which the TCW/Crescent Lenders do not purchase Class B Preferred Units, the Participating Purchasers with respect to such Subsequent Closing shall have the right to purchase from the TCW/Crescent Lenders and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that the TCW/Crescent Lenders would have been entitled to invest had the TCW/Crescent Lenders participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $833,286 (i.e., the TCW/Crescent Lenders' total committed equity) (the "TCW/CRESCENT LENDERS' RATIO"). The TCW/Crescent Lenders' Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Lenders and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such right to purchase in favor of the Participating Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if the TCW/Crescent Lenders (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the Purchasers at least three (3) business days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) business days after such Subsequent Closing, (ii) shall not, under any circumstances, permit the Participating Purchasers to purchase any Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Lenders or their transferees which were initially purchased hereunder by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers pursuant to SECTIONS 1.B(b) or 1.B(e) or the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions (as defined in the Second Amendment) and (iii) shall, if the Participating Purchasers elect to purchase an aggregate number of Common Units under this SECTION 1.B(g) greater than the number determined to be available for purchase in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 1.B(g), then the available Common Units shall be allocated among the Participating Purchasers on a pro rata basis consistent with each such Participating Purchaser's portion of the investment made pursuant to such Subsequent Closing. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this SECTION 1.B(g) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in SECTION 6 hereof. 3 (iii) The purchase price for each Common Unit repurchased pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(g) will be $0.10 per unit (each as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent unit splits, unit dividends and other recapitalizations). (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(g) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to the TCW/Crescent Lenders in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each Participating Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Participating Purchasers will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. 10. The PURCHASER NOTICE SCHEDULE attached to the Agreement shall be replaced and superseded in its entirety by the PURCHASER NOTICE SCHEDULE attached hereto. PURCHASE PROVISIONS 11. Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,380,787, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners, and the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, the following Securities: (i) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Fund VIII, and GTCR Fund VIII shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 3,454.338 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and 1,127,455 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit; (ii) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Fund VIII/B, and GTCR Fund VIII/B shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 606.220 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon and 197,863 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit; (iii) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Co-Invest, and GTCR Co-Invest shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 18.437 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon and 6,018 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit; and (iv) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Capital Partners, and GTCR Capital Partners shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 109.980 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon and 35,896 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit.

The transactions described in this Section 11 are referred to herein as the "TCW INCREMENTAL CO-INVEST TRANSACTIONS". 12. The closing of the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions (the "SUPPLEMENTAL CLOSING") shall occur immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition and 4 simultaneous with the effectiveness of the amendments described in this Amendment and Supplement. At the Supplemental Closing, the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners shall deliver to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers the unit certificates evidencing the Class B Preferred Units and Common Units to be purchased by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers upon payment of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as designated by the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners, as applicable. 13. As of the date of this Amendment and Supplement, each of the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units being sold by such Person to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers at the Supplemental Closing (such Person's "APPLICABLE SECURITIES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in the Transaction Documents, each of the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners owns its Applicable Securities free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, security interests, or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). Upon the consummation of the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers will receive good and valid title to such Person's Applicable Securities, free and clear of all Liens other than as provided pursuant to the Transaction Documents and applicable securities laws. 14. Each of the TCW/Crescent Purchasers hereby represents that it is acquiring the Class B Preferred Units and Common Units pursuant to the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions for its own account with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and that it has no intention of selling such securities in a public distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws.

MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 23.

Exhibit 10.13 [EXECUTION VERSION] REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of February 6, 2004, by and among (i) Medtech/Denorex, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "LLC"), (ii) GTCR Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII"), GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII/B"), GTCR Co-Invest II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CO-INVEST" and, together with GTCR Fund VIII and GTCR Fund VIII/B, the "GTCR PURCHASERS"), and GTCR Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS" and, together with the GTCR Purchasers and any investment fund managed by GTCR Golder Rauner, L.L.C. or GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C. that at any time acquires securities of the LLC or the Company, as the case may be, and executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement, the "GTCR INVESTORS"), (iii) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (each as defined herein), (iv) each executive on the attached SCHEDULE OF HOLDERS under the heading "Executives" and any other executive employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who, at any time, acquires securities of the LLC in accordance with SECTION 8 hereof and executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement (each, an "EXECUTIVE" and collectively, the "EXECUTIVES") and (v) each of the other entities and individuals set forth from time to time on the attached SCHEDULE OF HOLDERS under the heading "Other Securityholders" who, at any time, acquires securities of the LLC in accordance with SECTION 8 hereof and executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement (the "OTHER SECURITYHOLDERS"). Each of the GTCR Investors, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and the TCW/Crescent Lenders are sometimes individually referred to as an "INVESTOR" and collectively as the "INVESTORS." Investors, the Executives and the Other Securityholders are collectively referred to herein as the "SECURITYHOLDERS". The GTCR Purchasers and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers will purchase Common Units of the LLC (the "COMMON UNITS") pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement among such Persons and the LLC dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time pursuant to its terms, the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"). GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders will purchase Warrants pursuant to a Warrant Agreement among such Persons and the LLC dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time pursuant to its terms, the "WARRANT AGREEMENT"). Certain of the Executives will purchase Common Units pursuant to Senior Management Agreements among such Persons, the LLC and Medtech/Denorex Management, Inc. dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time pursuant to their terms, the "SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS"). In order to induce (i) the GTCR Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, (ii) GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders to enter into the Warrant Agreement and (iii) the Executives to enter into the Senior Management Agreements, the LLC has agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the closings under the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in SECTION 10 hereof. The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. DEMAND REGISTRATIONS. (a) REQUESTS FOR REGISTRATION. The Securityholders contemplate the organization of a corporation and reorganization or recapitalization of the LLC pursuant to SECTION 15.7 of the LLC Agreement. The corporate successor to the LLC shall be referred to herein as the "COMPANY." At any time after the organization of the Company, the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration ("LONG-FORM REGISTRATIONS"), or on Form S-2 or S-3 (including pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration ("SHORT-FORM REGISTRATIONS"), if available. In addition, subject to SECTION 1(c), no earlier than 180 days after the Company has completed its initial public offering, the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities in a Short-Form Registration, if available. All registrations requested pursuant to this SECTION 1(a) are referred to herein as "DEMAND REGISTRATIONS." Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the anticipated per share or per unit price range for such offering. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company's notice. (b) INVESTOR LONG-FORM REGISTRATIONS. The holders of Investor Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Long-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in SECTION 5). All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations. (c) INVESTOR SHORT-FORM REGISTRATIONS. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to SECTION 1(b), the holders of Investor Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses and the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request one (1) Short-Form Registration, if available, in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities. If the Company, pursuant to the request of the holder(s) of a majority of Investor Registrable Securities, is qualified to and has filed with the Securities Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the "REQUIRED REGISTRATION"), then the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Required Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, once effective, the Company shall cause such Required Registration to remain effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Investor Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Required Registration, or (ii) the date as of which the holder(s) of Investor Registrable Securities 2 (assuming such holder(s) are affiliates of the Company) are able to sell all of the Investor Registrable Securities then held by them within a ninety-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In the case of a Short-Form Registration requested by the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities pursuant to this SECTION 1(c), a registration shall count as the permitted Short-Form Registration only if the parties requesting such registration are able to register and sell at least 75% of their Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration OR if an aggregate amount of TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities equal to at least 75% of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities outstanding as of the date hereof has been registered and sold (whether under such Short-Form Registration or one or more prior registered offerings). (d) PRIORITY ON DEMAND REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities that are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder. (e) RESTRICTIONS ON LONG-FORM REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration or a previous registration in which the holders of Registrable Securities were given piggyback rights pursuant to SECTION 2 and in which there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may postpone for up to 180 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company and the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities agree that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to acquire financing, engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), or engage in any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization, or similar transaction; provided that, in such event, the holders of Investor Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any twelve-month period. (f) SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. The holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering. 3 (g) OTHER REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options, or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities. (h) OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. Subject to the Company's obligations under SECTION 4(e) hereof, each holder of Registrable Securities shall cease using any prospectus after receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening of any event as a result of which such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. 2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. (a) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities (including any proposed registration of the Company's securities by any third party) under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration, to which SECTION 1 is applicable, (ii) in connection with an initial public offering of the Company's equity securities (other than an initial public offering in which any holder of Registrable Securities is entitled to participate), or (iii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor or similar forms) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION"), the Company shall give prompt written notice (and in any event within three business days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand registration rights other than under this Agreement) to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company's notice. (b) PIGGYBACK EXPENSES. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations. (c) PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares or units owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included in such registration. (d) PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities other than holders of Registrable Securities (it being understood that secondary registrations on behalf of holders of Registrable Securities are addressed in SECTION 1 above rather than this SECTION 2(d)), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number 4 of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares or units owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included in such registration. (e) SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, then the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. (f) OTHER REGISTRATIONS. If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or pursuant to this Section 2, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then, unless such previous registration is a Required Registration, the Company shall not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least 180 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration. 3. HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS.

(b) The Company (i) shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities, options, or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and during the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the 5 registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, shall cause each holder of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree. 4.

(k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any equity securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, agents, and employees, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), whether joint and several or several, together with reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) to which any such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, "LOSSES") caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon, or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this SECTION 6, collectively called an "APPLICATION") executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the "BLUE SKY" or securities laws thereof or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer, and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same 9 extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities. (b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless the other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company, and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees, and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon, or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein, and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such other indemnified party for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed and diligently undertaken, then the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. (d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract, and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. 10 (e) If the indemnification provided for in this SECTION 6 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect to any Losses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative benefit of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (f) The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this SECTION 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in SECTION 6(e) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in SECTION 6(e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this SECTION 6, no seller of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute pursuant to this SECTION 6 any amount in excess of the sum of (i) any amounts paid pursuant to SECTION 6(b) above and (ii) the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement filed pursuant hereto. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 7. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or "GREEN SHOE" option requested by the managing underwriter(s), provided that no holder of Registrable Securities will 11 be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such holder has requested the Company to include in any registration) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof. (b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in SECTION 4(e) above, such Person will immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person's receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by SECTION 4(e). In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in SECTION 4(b) during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this SECTION 7(b) to and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by SECTION 4(e). 8. ADDITIONAL SECURITYHOLDERS. In connection with the issuance of any additional equity securities of the Company, the Company, with the consent of GTCR Fund VIII, may permit such Person to become a party to this Agreement and succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a holder of any particular category of Registrable Securities under this Agreement by obtaining an executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and, upon such execution, such Person shall for all purposes be a holder of such category of Registrable Securities and party to this Agreement. 9.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against the LLC, the Company or the holders of Registrable Securities unless such modification, amendment, or waiver is approved in writing by the LLC or the Company, as the case may be, and (x) holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities or (y) prior to the organization of a corporation and reorganization or recapitalization of the LLC pursuant to SECTION 15.7 of the LLC Agreement (a "REORGANIZATION"), holders of a majority of the Common Units (as defined in the LLC Agreement); PROVIDED THAT, no such amendment or modification that would materially and adversely affect holders of one class or group of Registrable Securities in a manner different than holders of any other class or group of Registrable Securities (other than amendments and modifications required to implement the provisions of SECTION 8) shall be effective against the holders of such class or group of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of holders of at least a majority of Registrable Securities of such class or group materially and adversely affected thereby. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. (e) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of purchasers or holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to obtain the benefit of this Agreement, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities must execute a counterpart to this Agreement, thereby agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof. (f) SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. (g) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. (h) DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. 16 Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word "INCLUDING" in this Agreement shall be, in each case, by way of example and without limitation. The use of the words "or," "either," and "any" shall not be exclusive. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. (i) GOVERNING LAW. The Delaware Limited Liability Act and/or the Delaware General Corporation Law, as applicable, shall govern all issues and questions concerning the relative rights of the LLC, the Company and its securityholders. All other issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (j) MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. (k) NOTICES. All notices, demands, or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally to the recipient, sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or telecopied to the recipient (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on a business day, and otherwise on the next business day. Such notices, demands, and other communications shall be sent to each Investor, each Executive, and each Other Securityholder at the addresses indicated on the Schedule of Holders and to the Company at the address of its corporate headquarters or to such other address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party. (l) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, 17 agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. (m) NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. * * * * * 18 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Registration Rights Agreement as of the date first written above.

Exhibit 10.15 EXECUTION COPY SENIOR PREFERRED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT THIS SENIOR PREFERRED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of March 5, 2004 by and among (i) Medtech/Denorex, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), (ii) GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. ("GTCR"), (iii) TSG3 L.P., J. Gary Shansby, Charles H. Esserman, Michael L. Mauze, and James L. O'Hara (each individually an "INITIAL SECURITYHOLDER" and, collectively, the "INITIAL SECURITYHOLDERS") and (iv) each other Person (other than the Company, GTCR or any of their respective designees) who, at any time after the date hereof, acquires Senior Preferred Units of the Company (the "Senior Preferred Units") in accordance with the terms hereof and executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement (each, a "SUBSEQUENT SECURITYHOLDER" and, collectively, the "SUBSEQUENT SECURITYHOLDERS"). Each of the Initial Securityholders and the Subsequent Securityholders are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "SECURITYHOLDER" and collectively as the "SECURITYHOLDERS." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in SECTION 8 hereof; PROVIDED THAT, if any term is not defined herein, then such term shall have the same meaning assigned to it in the LLC Agreement. The Initial Securityholders will acquire Senior Preferred Units pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2004 (the "STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), by and among the Company, the Initial Securityholders, The Spic and Span Company and the other parties named therein (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time pursuant to its terms). The Company, GTCR and the Securityholders desire to enter into this Agreement for the purposes, among others, of limiting the manner and terms by which the Senior Preferred Units may be transferred and providing the Company, GTCR and the holders of Senior Preferred Units with certain other rights and obligations related thereto. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement by the Initial Securityholders is a condition to the Company and its Subsidiary's obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: 1. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. (a) No Securityholder shall Transfer directly or indirectly any interest in Securityholder Securities except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement. (b) At least 30 days prior to making any Transfer of any Securityholder Securities, any Securityholder desiring to make such Transfer (the "TRANSFERRING SECURITYHOLDER") will give written notice (the "OFFER NOTICE") to the Company and GTCR. The Offer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number of Securityholder Securities to be Transferred, the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (if known). First, GTCR (and/or its designees) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering a written notice of such election to the Transferring Securityholder and the Company within 20 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If GTCR (and its designees) have not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice, the Company (and/or its designees) may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of such remaining Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Securityholder within 25 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If GTCR, the Company and/or any of their respective designees have elected to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice from the Transferring Securityholder, the Transfer of such Securityholder Securities shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Securityholder, but in any event within 45 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If GTCR, the Company and their respective designees have not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice, the Transferring Securityholder may, within 120 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice, Transfer such Securityholder Securities to any transferee(s) approved in writing by the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), at a price and on terms no more favorable to such transferee(s) than offered to GTCR and the Company in the Offer Notice; PROVIDED THAT the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Securityholder Securities after any Transfer pursuant to this sentence and each such transferee of such Securityholder Securities shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Subsequent Securityholder hereunder. Any Securityholder Securities not Transferred within such 120-day period shall be reoffered to GTCR and the Company under this SECTION 1(b) prior to any subsequent Transfer. The Company may pay all or any portion of the purchase price for such units by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by the Transferring Securityholder or any of its Affiliates to the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Transfer of Securityholder Securities pursuant to this SECTION 1(b) (other than a Transfer to GTCR, the Company and/or their respective designees) be made for any consideration other than cash payable upon consummation of such Transfer, without the prior written consent of GTCR and the Company. (c) Transfers of Securityholder Securities for which the restrictions of this SECTION 1 shall not apply and which shall be otherwise permitted are Transfers (i) by any Securityholder to or among its Affiliates or Family Group and (ii) pursuant to (A) a Public Sale, (B) Section 15.7 of the LLC Agreement in connection with the incorporation of the Company (to facilitate a Public Offering or otherwise) or (C) SECTIONS 2 or 3 hereof; PROVIDED THAT, the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Securityholder Securities after any Transfer pursuant to clause (i) above and each transferee of such Securityholder Securities shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Subsequent Securityholder hereunder. Upon the Transfer of Securityholder Securities pursuant to clause (i) of the previous sentence, the transferee will deliver a written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee. 2 (d) The restrictions set forth in this SECTION 1 shall continue with respect to each unit of Securityholder Securities until the date on which such unit of Securityholder Securities has been transferred in a Public Sale. 2. PUT RIGHT. (a) If a Liquidity Event is proposed to occur, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed Liquidity Event describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each Securityholder not more than 45 days nor less than 15 days prior to the anticipated consummation date of such Liquidity Event, and the Company shall give each Securityholder prompt written notice of any material change thereafter in the terms or timing of such Liquidity Event. The Securityholder(s) holding a majority of the Senior Preferred Units may elect (the "PUT ELECTION"), subject to and in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 2, to require all of the Securityholders to sell, and the Company to purchase from such Securityholders, all (but not less than all) of the Senior Preferred Units then held by the Securityholders by delivering written notice of such Put Election (a "PUT EXERCISE NOTICE") to the Company on or prior to the tenth day after the Company delivers notice of such proposed Liquidity Event to the Securityholders. Upon receipt of a Put Exercise Notice, the Securityholders shall be obligated to sell, and the Company shall be obligated to purchase, all of the Senior Preferred Units then held by the Securityholders immediately prior to the consummation of such Liquidity Event. If the proposed Liquidity Event does not occur, the Put Election relating thereto shall be deemed null and void. (b) For any Put Election, the purchase price for each Senior Preferred Unit will be the SUM of the Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and the Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement), in each case as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the consummation of the Liquidity Event. The Company will pay for the Senior Preferred Units to be purchased by it from each Securityholder pursuant to the Put Election by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by such Securityholder or any of its Affiliates to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by (i) a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) if such purchase is being made prior to the date that is thirty months after the date hereof, at the option of the Company, the issuance to such Securityholder of an unsecured subordinated promissory note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase price, bearing interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum (payable quarterly in cash), and having a maturity date no later than the third anniversary of the date of the applicable Liquidity Event; PROVIDED that, in the event that the issuance by the Company of the foregoing described promissory note would create adverse tax consequences for the Company or its members, the Company may in lieu thereof cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to issue such promissory note, together with unsecured subordinated guaranties in respect of such promissory note from each of the Company's other domestic Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foreoing, in the event any such purchase is being made upon consummation of an Approved Sale pursuant to which all or any portion of the consideration to be received by the Company's other equityholders in connection therewith consists of Liquid Securities (the percentage represented by such portion of the total consideration to be received is referred to herein as the "LIQUID SECURITIES PERCENTAGE"), the Company may pay the portion of the required purchase price for such Senior Preferred Units that is equal to the Liquid Securities Percentage by delivery of Liquid Securities having a value 3 (using the value ascribed to such Liquid Securities in such Approved Sale) equal to the Liquid Securities Percentage of such required purchase price. The Company will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the Securityholders regarding such sale and to require that all signatures be certified. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all repurchases of Senior Preferred Units pursuant to any Put Election shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law, such other applicable corporate or limited liability company laws, applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit (i) the repurchase of Senior Preferred Units hereunder which the Company is otherwise required to make or (ii) dividends, distributions or other transfers of funds from one or more Subsidiaries to the Company to enable such repurchase, then the Company shall make such repurchase as soon as it is permitted to make such repurchase (and receive the necessary funds from its Subsidiaries) under such restrictions. 3. SALE OF THE COMPANY. (a) If the holders of the Required Interest (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) approve a Sale of the Company to a Person that is not an Affiliate of GTCR in a bona fide arms-length transaction (an "APPROVED SALE") and a Put Exercise Notice has not been delivered to the Company in connection therewith, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall vote for, consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved Sale is structured as a (i) merger or consolidation, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall waive any dissenters' rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of Units, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall agree to sell all of his, her or its Securityholder Securities or rights to acquire Securityholder Securities on the terms and conditions approved by the Board and the holders of the Required Interest. Each holder of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Company. (b) The obligations under this Section 3 of the holders of Securityholder Securities with respect to an Approved Sale of the Company are subject to the condition that each Securityholder shall receive in exchange for the Securityholder Securities held by such Securityholder the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange that such Securityholder would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1 of the LLC Agreement. (c) If either the Company or the holders of any class of Securityholder Securities enter into a negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the holders of Securityholder Securities (other than those qualifying as "accredited investors" under such Rule) will, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of Securityholder Securities appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company, the Company will pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if any holder of Securityholder Securities 4 declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company such holder will, if required, appoint another purchaser representative, and such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed. 4. INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY; PUBLIC OFFERING. In the event that the Board or GTCR approves the incorporation of the Company or a recapitalization, reorganization or exchange involving the exchange of equity securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries into securities that the Board and GTCR find acceptable, whether to facilitate an initial Public Offering or for other reasons that the Board or GTCR deem in the best interest of the Company (including, without limitation a reorganization of the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 15.7 of the LLC Agreement) (a "REORGANIZATION"), the holders of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Board or GTCR in connection with the consummation of such Reorganization, including, without limitation, consenting to, voting for and waiving any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights and participating in any exchange or other transaction required in connection with such Reorganization; PROVIDED that each holder of a class of Units shall receive a security having, in the aggregate, substantially the same rights, benefits, privileges and value as the Units previously held (other than differences based upon differences in the amount of yield accrued on such Units since their respective dates of issuance). In the event that the Board or GTCR approves an initial Public Offering, the holders of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Board or GTCR in connection with the consummation of such Public Offering, including, without limitation, compliance with the requirements of all laws and regulatory bodies that are applicable or that have jurisdiction over such Public Offering; PROVIDED that all expenses reasonably incurred by such holders in taking such actions shall be the responsibility of the Company. 5. HOLDBACK AGREEMENT.

(b) In addition to the Executive Securities acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above, the Company will issue 27,667 Common Units to Executive in exchange for Executive's Distribution Offset and Contribution Obligation (as defined herein).

(ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested.

This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance 3 with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. This representation is subject to SECTION 1(g)(vi) below. (vi) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 1(g)(vi) attached hereto, Executive is neither party to, nor bound by, any other employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement. (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of New York. (viii) As of the date of this Agreement, Executive is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement (the "CONTRIBUTED SHARES").

There are no agreements, instruments or other arrangements restricting or otherwise affecting the transfer of the Contributed Shares or the other transactions contemplated by this SECTION 1. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (h) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 4 2.

(ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected 6 to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest 7 at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice.

(f) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units. (g) In connection with the acquisition and issuance of the Executive Securities, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) The Executive Securities to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Securities will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested.

This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance 3 with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. This representation is subject to SECTION 1(g)(vi) below.

Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (h) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 4 2. VESTING OF CARRIED COMMON UNITS. (a) The Co-Invest Units acquired by Executive shall be vested upon the acquisition thereof.

CUMULATIVE PERCENTAGE OF DATE CARRIED COMMON UNITS VESTED ------------------------------------ --------------------------- First Anniversary of Effective Date 20.00% Second Anniversary of Effective Date 40.00% Third Anniversary of Effective Date 60.00% Fourth Anniversary of Effective Date 80.00% Fifth Anniversary of Effective Date 100.00% have the right to repurchase (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (other than the Company and the Equity Investors) all or any portion of (A) the Unvested Common Units, in the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries for any reason, and (B) the Vested Carried Common Units and the Co-Invest Units, in the event of Executive's (I) death, (II) Disability, (III) resignation other than for Good Reason from Executive's employment with the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (IV) employment termination with Cause by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (V) employment termination when there is Substantial Underperformance (each a "SEPARATION REPURCHASE EVENT"). The Separation Repurchase Option with respect to Vested Units under SECTIONS 3(a)(i)(B)(I) and 3(a)(i)(B)(II) shall be valid only if Executive fails to exercise the Separation Put Right (if applicable) within the Put Election Period provided in SECTION 4(a)(i) below. The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this SECTION 3(a) to any Person. (ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities 6 under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, 7 not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice.

(iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option.

NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with Employer he will become familiar with the Company's, Employer's and their respective Subsidiaries' trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries and that his services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries.

During the Employment Period and also during the period commencing on the date of termination of the Employment Period and ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries within 180 days after such person ceased to be an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT such restriction shall not apply for a particular employee if the Company has provided its written consent to such hire, which consent, in the case of any person who was not a key employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company, Employer or any Subsidiary or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the business of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and with which the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries has conducted discussions or has requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the two year period immediately preceding a Separation. (c) ENFORCEMENT.

Because Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company, Employer, their respective Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance 20 and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the Company and Employer of the non-enforcement of SECTION 9 and this SECTION 10 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise.

Butler ("EXECUTIVE"). The Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to which Executive will acquire from the Company, and the Company will issue to Executive, Class B Preferred Units of the Company (the "CLASS B PREFERRED UNITS") and Common Units of the Company (the "COMMON UNITS"). Certain definitions are set forth in SECTION 11 of this Agreement. Employer desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to be employed by Employer upon the terms set forth herein. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Executive is a condition to (A) the purchase of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units by GTCR Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII"), GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII/B"), GTCR Co-Invest II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CO-INVEST") and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (as defined herein) pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement among the Company and such Persons dated as of the date hereof (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") and (B) the purchase of warrants to acquire Class B Preferred Units and Common Units by GTCR Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS") and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (as defined herein) pursuant to a Warrant Agreement between the Company and such Persons dated as of the date hereof. Each of GTCR Fund VIII, GTCR Fund VIII/B, GTCR Co-Invest and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers is sometimes individually referred to herein as an "EQUITY INVESTOR" and, collectively, as the "EQUITY INVESTORS." Each of GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders is sometimes individually referred to herein as a "DEBT INVESTOR" and, collectively, as the "DEBT INVESTORS." Each of the Equity Investors and the Debt Investors is sometimes individually referred to herein as an "INVESTOR" and, collectively, as the "INVESTORS." Certain provisions of this Agreement are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the Investors. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE SECURITIES 1. ACQUISITION AND ISSUANCE OF EXECUTIVE SECURITIES. (a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive will acquire, and the Company will issue, 907,367 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit and 125.520 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $216,257. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Executive copies of the certificates representing such Executive Securities (as defined below), and Executive will contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Company the following in full consideration for such Executive Securities: (i) that number of shares of Medtech Common Stock with an aggregate Medtech Common Stock Value, determined as of the Closing Date, of $172,696; and (ii) that number of shares of Denorex Common Stock with an aggregate Denorex Common Stock Value, determined as of the Closing Date, of $43,561. If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is increased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Company shall issue to Executive for no additional consideration (I) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to such increase (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit) and (II) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to the Class B Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that would have accrued on the Class B Preferred Units issued pursuant to the foregoing clause (I) had such units been issued as of the Closing Date (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is decreased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit to the Company at no cost the number (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (and the Class B Yield relating thereto) having an aggregate value equal to such decrease (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). (b) In addition to the Executive Securities acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above, the Company will issue 9,233 Common Units to Executive in exchange for Executive's Distribution Offset and Contribution Obligation (as defined herein). Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Executive copies of the certificates representing such Executive Securities. (c) 881,751 of the Common Units acquired pursuant to SECTIONS 1(a) AND (b) hereof are referred to herein as the "CARRIED COMMON UNITS." The remaining Common Units that are acquired pursuant to SECTIONS 1(a) AND (b) above are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST COMMON UNITS." All Class B Preferred Units 2 and the Co-Invest Common Units acquired by Executive hereunder are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST UNITS." (d) Within 30 days after the acquisition of the Carried Common Units hereunder, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto. (e) 293,917 of the Carried Common Units are referred to herein as the "STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS." (f) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units. (g) In connection with the acquisition and issuance of the Executive Securities, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) The Executive Securities to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Securities will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested. (v) Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance 3 with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. This representation is subject to SECTION 1(g)(vi) below. (vi) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 1(g)(vi) attached hereto, Executive is neither party to, nor bound by, any other employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement. (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of New York. (viii) As of the date of this Agreement, Executive is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement (the "CONTRIBUTED SHARES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Medtech Common Stock, the Medtech Stockholders Agreement, and, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Denorex Common Stock, the Denorex Stockholders Agreement, Executive owns the Contributed Shares free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, claims, security interests, restrictions, mortgages, deeds of trust, tenancies, and other possessory interests, conditional sale or other title retention agreements, assessments, easements, rights of way, covenants, restrictions, rights of first refusal, defects in title, encroachments, and other burdens, options or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). There are no agreements, instruments or other arrangements restricting or otherwise affecting the transfer of the Contributed Shares or the other transactions contemplated by this SECTION 1. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (h) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 4 2. VESTING OF CARRIED COMMON UNITS. (a) The Co-Invest Units acquired by Executive shall be vested upon the acquisition thereof. The Carried Common Units (including the Standard Carried Common Units which shall vest on a basis proportionate to the total number of Carried Common Units) shall be subject to vesting in the manner specified in this SECTION 2. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 2, the Carried Common Units shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if and only if as of each such date provided below, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date: (c) If Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries on any date other than an anniversary date specified in the schedule above, the cumulative percentage of Carried Common Units to become vested shall be determined on a PRO RATA basis according to the number of days elapsed since the Effective Date, or the most recent anniversary date, as the case may be. (d) Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, all Carried Common Units which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the time of the consummation of the Sale of the Company, if, as of such time, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date. (e) Carried Common Units that have become vested ("VESTED CARRIED COMMON UNITS") and the Co-Invest Common Units are referred to herein as "VESTED COMMON UNITS." The Vested Common Units and the Class B Preferred Units are collectively referred to herein as "VESTED UNITS." All Carried Common Units that have not vested are referred to herein as "UNVESTED COMMON UNITS." 3. REPURCHASE OPTIONS. (a) SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(a) and SECTION 5 below, the Company and the Equity Investors will 5
CUMULATIVE PERCENTAGE OF DATE CARRIED COMMON UNITS VESTED ------------------------------------ --------------------------- First Anniversary of Effective Date 20.00% Second Anniversary of Effective Date 40.00% Third Anniversary of Effective Date 60.00% Fourth Anniversary of Effective Date 80.00% Fifth Anniversary of Effective Date 100.00% have the right to repurchase (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (other than the Company and the Equity Investors) all or any portion of (A) the Unvested Common Units, in the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries for any reason, and (B) the Vested Carried Common Units and the Co-Invest Units, in the event of Executive's (I) death, (II) Disability, (III) resignation other than for Good Reason from Executive's employment with the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (IV) employment termination with Cause by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (V) employment termination when there is Substantial Underperformance (each a "SEPARATION REPURCHASE EVENT"). The Separation Repurchase Option with respect to Vested Units under SECTIONS 3(a)(i)(B)(I) and 3(a)(i)(B)(II) shall be valid only if Executive fails to exercise the Separation Put Right (if applicable) within the Put Election Period provided in SECTION 4(a)(i) below. The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this SECTION 3(a) to any Person. (ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities 6 under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, 7 not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice. (b) DILUTION REPURCHASE OPTION. (i) Capitalized terms used in this SECTION 3(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the following meanings: (A) "FOLLOW-ON PURCHASER EQUITY INVESTMENT" means an investment as equity financing in the Company by one or more 8 Purchasers after the Effective Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

(C) "FULLY-DILUTED EQUITY" means, at any time of determination, the then outstanding Equity Securities plus (without duplication) all shares or units (or other denominations) of Equity Securities issuable, whether at such time or upon the passage of time or the occurrence of future events, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all the then outstanding Equity Equivalents. (D) "MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REPURCHASABLE STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS" means with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the product of the Maximum Percentage of Repurchaseable Standard Carried Common Units MULTIPLIED BY the number of Standard Carried Common Units owned by Executive immediately prior to the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment. (E) "MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE OF REPURCHASEABLE STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the sum, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, of the Purchaser Equity Fund Dilution Percentage PLUS the Purchaser Mezzanine Fund Dilution Percentage. (F) "POST-MONEY EQUITY VALUE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the sum of the Pre-Money Equity Value PLUS the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment Amount. (G) "PRE-MONEY EQUITY VALUE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the Fair Market Value of the Fully-Diluted Equity of the Company immediately prior to the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment. (H) "PURCHASER EQUITY FUND DILUTION PERCENTAGE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the quotient, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, equal to the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment Amount divided by the Post-Money Equity Value. 9 (I) "PURCHASER MEZZANINE FUND DILUTION FACTOR" means 5.53%. (J) "PURCHASER MEZZANINE FUND DILUTION PERCENTAGE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the product, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, of the Purchaser Equity Fund Dilution Percentage MULTIPLIED BY the Purchaser Mezzanine Fund Dilution Factor. (ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(b), in the event of any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the Investors will have the right to repurchase (the "DILUTION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (including for this purpose the Company and, with respect to any Standard Carried Common Units acquired other than pursuant to the Dilution Repurchase Option, the Investors) all or any portion of Executive's Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units as of such Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment. (iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option. (iv) As soon as practicable after the Company has determined the Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units, the Company shall give written notice (the "DILUTION REPURCHASE OPTION NOTICE") to the Investors setting forth the Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units and the purchase price therefor. The Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Dilution Repurchase Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units, the Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units shall be allocated among the Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of the Standard Carried Common Units as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Investors, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction (the "DILUTION REPURCHASE NOTICE").

Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 8(c) or in the Employer's employee benefit plans or as otherwise required by applicable law, Executive shall not be entitled to any other salary, compensation or benefits after termination of Executive's employment with Employer. 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. (a) OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data (including trade secrets) obtained by him during the course of his performance under this Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates ("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION") are the property of the Company, Employer or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, including information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company's and Employer's business or industry of which Executive becomes aware during the Employment Period. Therefore, Executive agrees that he will not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for his own account (for his commercial advantage or otherwise) any Confidential Information without the Board's written consent, unless and to the extent that the Confidential Information, (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive's 17 acts or omissions to act, (ii) was known to Executive prior to Executive's employment with Employer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates or (iii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law, court order or other governmental decree.

(b) OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY. Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any Confidential Information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Company's, Employer's or any of their respective Subsidiaries' or Affiliates' actual or anticipated business, research and development, or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed, contributed to, made, or reduced to practice by Executive (either solely or jointly with others) while employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information or records) ("WORK PRODUCT") belong to the Company, Employer or such Subsidiary or Affiliate and Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the above Work Product to the Company, Employer or to such Subsidiary or Affiliate.

During the Employment Period and thereafter, 18 and without in any way limiting the provisions of SECTION 9(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Company, Employer or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with his work for the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board (other than himself if Executive is on the Board) in writing. (d) USE OF INFORMATION OF PRIOR EMPLOYERS.

Executive will use in the performance of his duties only information which is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive's and which is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) otherwise legally in the public domain, (ii) otherwise provided or developed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. 10. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with Employer he will become familiar with the Company's, Employer's and their respective Subsidiaries' trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries and that his services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries.

Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. (b) NONSOLICITATION. During the Employment Period and also during the period commencing on the date of termination of the Employment Period and ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries within 180 days after such person ceased to be an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT such restriction shall not apply for a particular employee if the Company has provided its written consent to such hire, which consent, in the case of any person who was not a key employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company, Employer or any Subsidiary or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the business of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and with which the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries has conducted discussions or has requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the two year period immediately preceding a Separation. (c) ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of SECTION 9 or this SECTION 10, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company, Employer, their respective Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance 20 and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the Company and Employer of the non-enforcement of SECTION 9 and this SECTION 10 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Company, Employer and their Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the future.

ACQUISITION AND ISSUANCE OF EXECUTIVE SECURITIES. (a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive will acquire, and the Company will issue, 609,746 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit and 107.368 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $168,343.

If the Medtech Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is increased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Company shall issue to Executive for no additional consideration (I) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to such increase (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit) and (II) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to the Class B Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that would have accrued on the Class B Preferred Units issued pursuant to the foregoing clause (I) had such units been issued as of the Closing Date (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). If the Medtech Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is decreased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit to the Company at no cost the number (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (and the Class B Yield relating thereto) having an aggregate value equal to such decrease (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). (b) 587,834 of the Common Units acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) hereof are referred to herein as the "CARRIED COMMON UNITS." The remaining Common Units that are acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST COMMON UNITS." All Class B Preferred Units and the Co-Invest Common Units acquired by Executive hereunder are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST UNITS." (c) Within 30 days after the acquisition of the Carried Common Units hereunder, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto. (d) 293,917 of the Carried Common Units are referred to herein as the "STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS." (e) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other 2 holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units. (f) In connection with the acquisition and issuance of the Executive Securities, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) The Executive Securities to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Securities will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested. (v) Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. (vi) Executive is neither party to, nor bound by, any other employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement. (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of New Jersey. (viii) As of the date of this Agreement, Executive is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of Medtech Common Stock 3 being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement (the "CONTRIBUTED SHARES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in the Medtech Stockholders Agreement, Executive owns the Contributed Shares free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, claims, security interests, restrictions, mortgages, deeds of trust, tenancies, and other possessory interests, conditional sale or other title retention agreements, assessments, easements, rights of way, covenants, restrictions, rights of first refusal, defects in title, encroachments, and other burdens, options or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). There are no agreements, instruments or other arrangements restricting or otherwise affecting the transfer of the Contributed Shares or the other transactions contemplated by this SECTION 1. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (g) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 2. VESTING OF CARRIED COMMON UNITS. (a) The Co-Invest Units acquired by Executive shall be vested upon the acquisition thereof. The Carried Common Units (including the Standard Carried Common Units which shall vest on a basis proportionate to the total number of Carried Common Units) shall be subject to vesting in the manner specified in this SECTION 2. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 2, the Carried Common Units shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if and only if as of each such date provided below, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date: 4

(d) Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, all Carried Common Units which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the time of the consummation of the Sale of the Company, if, as of such time, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date.

The Vested Common Units and the Class B Preferred Units are collectively referred to herein as "VESTED UNITS." All Carried Common Units that have not vested are referred to herein as "UNVESTED COMMON UNITS." 3. REPURCHASE OPTIONS. (a) SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(a) and SECTION 5 below, the Company and the Equity Investors will have the right to repurchase (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (other than the Company and the Equity Investors) all or any portion of (A) the Unvested Common Units, in the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries for any reason, and (B) the Vested Carried Common Units and the Co-Invest Units, in the event of Executive's (I) death, (II) Disability, (III) resignation other than for Good Reason from Executive's employment with the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (IV) employment termination with Cause by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (V) employment termination when there is Substantial Underperformance (each a "SEPARATION REPURCHASE EVENT"). The Separation Repurchase Option with respect to Vested Units under SECTIONS 3(a)(B)(I) and 3(a)(i)(B)(II) shall be valid only if Executive fails to exercise the Separation Put Right (if applicable) within the Put Election Period provided in SECTION 4(a)(i) below. The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this SECTION 3(a) to any Person. (ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the 5 Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available 6 Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital 7 Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice.

(iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such 9 unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option.
