DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - General:
Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
single segment industry company engaged in the business of manufacturing and
distributing premium ice cream and other frozen dairy products to grocery and
convenience stores, foodservice accounts and independent distributors in the
United States.
The consolidated financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995, have not been audited by
independent public accountants, but include all adjustments, such as normal
recurring accruals, that management considers necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated operating results for the periods. The statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. The
aforementioned statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended December 30, 1995, appearing in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 2 - Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in,
first-out method) or market. Inventories at June 29, 1996 and December 30, 1995
consisted of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>
NOTE 3 - Net Income Per Share:
Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period which were 13,335,000
and 13,155,000 shares for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended June 29,
1996 and 13,387,000 and 13,679,000 shares for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six
weeks ended July 1, 1995. The potentially dilutive effect of the Company's
redeemable convertible Series B preferred stock, convertible subordinated
debentures and other common stock equivalents was anti-dilutive for the thirteen
and twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995. Accordingly,
fully diluted net income per share is not presented.

<PAGE> 8
NOTE 4 -Insurance Settlement:
In March 1996, the Company settled an insurance claim relating to the
malfunction of a refrigeration system at one of its plants. The malfunction
caused the accidental release of ammonia (refrigerant) into the plant which
contaminated the finished goods inventory. In accordance with the settlement,
the Company received the value of the finished goods inventory at its normal
selling price, plus expenses incurred recovering from the accident. This
resulted in a gain of $2,100,000, which was recorded as a reduction in cost of
goods sold during the first quarter of 1996.
NOTE 5 - Purchase of M-K-D Distributors Inc.:
On March 27, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 50.3% of the
outstanding common stock of M-K-D Distributors, Inc. (M-K-D) for 320,000 newly
issued shares of the Company's common stock having a value of $10,800,000. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the amount by which the purchase
price exceeded the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired of
$5,400,000 has been recorded as goodwill and distribution rights. The Company
has consolidated the results of operations of M-K-D since the beginning of
fiscal 1996. That portion of M-K-D's pre-acquisition earnings before income
taxes which was attributable to the former shareholders' interest, approximately
$148,000, was recorded as a charge to selling, general and administrative
expenses.
NOTE 6 - Lease Transaction:
On March 29, 1996, the Company entered into a lease transaction involving
a large majority of its direct-store-delivery truck fleet. The $26,000,000
proceeds received by the Company from the lease transaction were used to repay a
portion of existing bank borrowings and to fund capital expenditures. The four
year lease has been classified as a capital lease and is recorded in property,
plant and equipment.
NOTE 7 - Senior Notes:
On June 6, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of $50,000,000
of senior notes, due 2002 through 2006. Proceeds from the senior notes were used
to repay a portion of existing bank borrowings and to fund capital expenditures.
Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually.
NOTE 8 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:
As of the beginning of fiscal 1996, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which established accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based compensation plans. This standard encourages the adoption of the
fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar
equity instruments, but continues to allow the Company to measure compensation
cost for those equity instruments using the intrinsic value-based method of
accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the fair value-based method, compensation
cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award. Under the
intrinsic value-based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or other measurement date
over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company
continues to use the intrinsic value-based method. The adoption of this standard
did not have any effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Company will disclose the pro-forma effect on net income of using the fair
value-based method of accounting in the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Strategic Plan
The Company embarked on a five year plan (the Strategic Plan) during the
second quarter of 1994 to accelerate the sales of its brand throughout the
country. This plan includes three primary strategies: 1) a quadrupling of
advertising and consumer promotion spending, 2) rapid expansion and development
of the Company's direct-store-delivery system, and 3) introduction of innovative
new products. The potential benefits of the Strategic Plan are increased market
share and future earnings above those levels that would be attained in the
absence of the Strategic Plan. As originally announced, the Company anticipated
that the cost of implementing the Strategic Plan would materially reduce
earnings during 1994 and 1995.
Under the Strategic Plan, the Company increased the amount of its spending for
advertising and consumer promotion from 1993 levels to approximately $40,000,000
in 1994 and 1995, and plans to continue this level of marketing spending during
a period of increasing sales. Since the inception of the Strategic Plan, the
Company expanded its direct-store-delivery system into 34 new markets and the
Company's products are presently available to grocery stores serving
approximately 85% of the consumers in the United States. This distribution
system is considerably larger than any other direct-store-delivery system for
ice cream products currently operating in the United States. The Company
anticipates an improvement in earnings during 1996, and that the earnings
benefits expected under the Strategic Plan will be achieved in 1997 and future
years. However, no assurance can be given that the Company's expectations
relative to future market share and earnings benefits of the strategy will be
achieved. The success of the strategy will depend upon, among other things,
consumer purchase responsiveness to the increased marketing expenditures,
competitors' marketing responses, market conditions affecting the price of the
Company's products, commodity costs, and efficiencies achieved in manufacturing
and distribution operations.
Thirteen Weeks ended June 29, 1996 Compared with Thirteen Weeks ended July 1,
1995
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1996 increased 12% to
$211,568,000 compared with $188,083,000 for the same period last year. Sales of
the Company's branded products increased 6%. The increase in sales was led by
the recently introduced Starbucks(R) Ice Cream (developed in a joint venture
with the Starbucks Coffee Company), Dreyer's and Edy's Fat Free Ice Cream and
Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Ice Cream. The increase was offset in part by a
decrease in frozen yogurt sales, which reflects an industry-wide trend of lower
sales. Sales of products purchased from other manufacturers (partner brands)
increased 23%, led by Ben & Jerry's Homemade(R) superpremium products and frozen
novelty and ice cream products from Nestle Ice Cream Company. Sales of partner
brands represented 39% of consolidated net sales as compared with 36% in the
second quarter of 1995. The increase in partner brand sales was primarily a
result of the consolidation of M-K-D Distributors Inc. (M-K-D). (See Note 5 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The effect of price increases for
Company and partner brands was not significant.
Cost of goods sold increased $17,248,000, or 12%, over the second quarter of
1996, while the overall gross margin increased slightly from 22.9% in the second
quarter of 1995 to 23.3% in the second quarter of 1996. The increase in gross
margin was largely due to a decrease in distribution expenses relative to sales,
partially offset by an increase in dairy raw materials costs and expenses
associated with the Company's recently acquired Houston, Texas manufacturing
facility. The increase in dairy raw materials costs and the expenses associated
with the Houston facility are expected to negatively impact gross profit margins
for the remainder of 1996.
10
<PAGE> 11
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1996 were
$4,902,000, or 14%, higher than in the same period of 1995. This increase
related primarily to the consolidation of M-K-D. (See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). Selling, general and administrative expenses
remained relatively consistent as a percentage of net sales at 18.7% for the
second quarter of 1996 compared with 18.4% for the same period in 1995.
Interest expense decreased $727,000, or 24%, over the second quarter of 1995,
due primarily to the effect of the conversion of convertible subordinated
debentures into redeemable convertible Series B preferred stock in the third
quarter of 1995, offset in part by interest associated with higher borrowings
under the line of credit and the lease transaction. (See Note 6 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements).
Income taxes increased $708,000, reflecting a higher pre-tax income, while the
effective tax rate decreased from 39.3% for the second quarter of 1995 to 38.0%
for the second quarter of 1996.
Twenty-six Weeks ended June 29, 1996 Compared with Twenty-six Weeks ended July
1, 1995
Consolidated net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996
increased 15% to $378,538,000 compared with $329,338,000 for the same period
last year. Sales of the Company's branded products increased 9%. The products
that led this increase were Dreyer's and Edy's Fat Free Ice Cream and Dreyer's
and Edy's Grand Ice Cream. The increase was offset in part by a decrease in
frozen yogurt sales, which reflects an industry-wide trend of lower sales. Sales
of partner brands increased 26%, led by Ben and Jerry's Homemade(R) superpremium
products, frozen novelty and ice cream products from Nestle Ice Cream Company.
Sales of partner brands represented 39% of consolidated net sales as compared
with 36% in the same period last year. The increase in partner brand sales was
primarily a result of the consolidation of M-K-D. (See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). The effect of price increases for Company
and partner brands was not significant.
Cost of goods sold increased $37,549,000, or 15%, as compared with 1995, while
the overall gross margin increased slightly from 21.9% to 22.1% in 1996. During
the first quarter of 1996 the Company recorded an insurance gain of $2,100,000
as a reduction in costs of goods sold. (See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). The resulting margin when the gain is excluded is
relatively consistent with the same period in 1995 due to a decrease in
distribution expenses relative to sales, offset by an increase in dairy raw
materials costs and expenses associated with the Company's recently acquired
Houston, Texas manufacturing facility.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first two quarters of 1995
increased $8,819,000 or 14% as compared to the same period in 1995. This
increase related primarily to the consolidation of M-K-D. (See Note 5 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements). Selling, general and administrative
expenses remained consistent as a percentage of net sales at 18.5 % for the
second quarter of 1996 compared to 18.6% for the same period in 1995.
Interest expense in the first two quarters of 1996 was $1,257,000, or 24%, lower
than in the same period in the prior year due primarily to the effect of the
conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures into redeemable
convertible Series B preferred stock in the third quarter of 1995.
Income taxes increased $1,598,000 reflecting a higher pre-tax income, while the
effective tax rate decreased from 39.3% for the first two quarters of 1995 to
38.4% for the first two quarters of 1996.
11
<PAGE> 12
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at June 29, 1996 increased $19,615,000 from year-end 1995 due
primarily to the seasonal increase in trade accounts receivable and inventories
partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Cash was provided primarily from the completion of the $26,000,000 lease
transaction and the issuance of $50,000,000 of senior notes. (See Notes 6 & 7 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). These sources were used to fund the
$36,367,000 increase in property, plant and equipment and reduce the Company's
long term line of credit by $30,472,000.
At June 29, 1996, the Company had $2,886,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and
$88,400,000 available under its credit line. The Company believes that its
credit line, along with its liquid resources, internally generated cash and
financing capacity, are adequate to meet anticipated operating and capital

Senior Notes due June 1, 2008 (collectively the "NOTES", such term to include
any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13 of this
Agreement or the Other Agreements (as hereinafter defined) and each such series
of Notes being a "SERIES"). Each Series of Notes shall be substantially in the
form set out in Exhibit 1-A through Exhibit 1-C, respectively, with such changes
therefrom, if any, as may be approved by you and the Company. Certain
capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; references
to a "Schedule" or an "Exhibit" are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule
or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement.
2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Company will issue and sell to you and you will purchase from the Company, at
the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes of one or more Series in the
principal amount specified opposite your name in Schedule A at the purchase
price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. Contemporaneously with entering
into this Agreement, the Company is entering into separate Note Purchase
Agreements (the "OTHER AGREEMENTS") identical with this Agreement with each of
the other purchasers named in Schedule A (the "OTHER PURCHASERS"), providing for
the sale at such Closing to each of the Other Purchasers of Notes in the
principal amount specified opposite its name in Schedule A. Your obligation
hereunder and the obligations of the Other Purchasers under the Other Agreements
are several and not joint obligations and you shall have no obligation under any
Other Agreement and
1
<PAGE> 8
no liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance by any Other
Purchaser thereunder.
3. CLOSING.
The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by you and
the Other Purchasers shall occur at the offices of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, 400
South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071, at 9:00 a.m., Los Angeles
time, at a closing (the "CLOSING") on June 6, 1996 or on such other Business Day

request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in your name (or in the

Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to you as provided above in
this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have
been fulfilled to your satisfaction, you shall, at your election, be relieved of
all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights
you may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.
4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.
Your obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold
to you at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to your satisfaction, prior
to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:

Agreement shall be correct when made and at the time of the Closing.

issue and sale of the Notes (and the application of the proceeds thereof as
contemplated by Section 5.14) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have entered
into any transaction since the date of the Memorandum that would have been

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The Company represents and warrants to you that:
5.1. ORGANIZATION; POWER AND AUTHORITY.
The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those
jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to
own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease,
to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and
deliver this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the Notes and to perform the
provisions hereof and thereof.
5.2. AUTHORIZATION, ETC.
This Agreement and the Other Agreements and the Notes have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof
each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation
4
<PAGE> 11
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).
5.3. DISCLOSURE.
The Company, through its agent, BA Securities, Inc., has
delivered to you and each Other Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement
Memorandum, dated April 5, 1996 (the "Memorandum"), relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects,
the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and
its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum, the documents, certificates or
other writings delivered to you by or on behalf of the Company in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed in
Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they
were made. Except as disclosed in the Memorandum, or in one of the documents,
certificates or other writings identified therein, or in the financial
statements listed in Schedule 5.5, since December 31, 1995, there has been no
change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects
of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the
aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
There is no fact known to the Company that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the
Memorandum or in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered
to you by or on behalf of the Company specifically for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.4. ORGANIZATION AND OWNERSHIP OF SHARES OF SUBSIDIARIES; AFFILIATES.
(a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete
and correct lists (i) of the Company's Subsidiaries, showing, as to each
Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and
the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity
interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary, and (ii)
of the Company's directors and senior officers.
(b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar
equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the
Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear
of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).
(c) Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a
corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than
those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing could not, individually
5
<PAGE> 12
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or
hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to
transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.
(d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any
legal restriction or any agreement (other than this Agreement, the agreements
listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law
statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of
profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar
equity interests of such Subsidiary.
5.5. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the
financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5.
All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules
and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates
specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except
as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial
statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
5.6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, OTHER INSTRUMENTS, ETC.
The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and the Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of
any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or
by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any
Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in
a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment,
decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable
to the Company or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute
or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the
Company or any Subsidiary.
5.7. GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS, ETC.
No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration,
filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or

<PAGE> 13
5.8. LITIGATION; OBSERVANCE OF AGREEMENTS, STATUTES AND ORDERS.
(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any
Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or
before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under
any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or
Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule
or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws) of any
Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.9. TAXES.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns
that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all
taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and
assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises,
to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before
they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount
of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount,
applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary,
as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals
and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of
Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The Federal
income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been determined
by the Internal Revenue Service and paid for all fiscal years up to and
including the fiscal year ended December 28, 1991.
5.10. TITLE TO PROPERTY; LEASES.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient
title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are
Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited
balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by
the Company or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise
disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of
Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the
aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect
in all material respects.
7
<PAGE> 14

Securities Act.

buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to
involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or

CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value of the

permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or
more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated
maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither the Company

has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 12.1, as the context requires.

of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled
Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective
scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such
18
<PAGE> 25
Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at
a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which
interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with
respect to such Called Principal.
"REINVESTMENT YIELD" means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, 0.5% over the yield to maturity implied by (i)
the yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the

Called Principal, on the display designated as "Page 678" on the
Telerate Access Service (or such other display as may replace Page 678
on Telerate Access Service) for actively traded U.S. Treasury
securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of
such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such
yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of
such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series
Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so
reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date

Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for
actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity
equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such
Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary,
by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent
yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b)
interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury
security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining
Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with
the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.
"REMAINING AVERAGE LIFE" means, with respect to any Called
Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth
year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum
of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of
each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal
by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year)
that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled
Payment.
"REMAINING SCHEDULED PAYMENTS" means, with respect to the
Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and
interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with
respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal
were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such
Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be
made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next
succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on
such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.
"SETTLEMENT DATE" means, with respect to the Called Principal
of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid
pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become
19
<PAGE> 26
or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section
12.1, as the context requires.
9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are
outstanding:
9.1. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to
comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which
each of them is subject, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and
will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits,
franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of
their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in
each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws,
ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or
maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other
governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
9.2. INSURANCE.
The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to
maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect
to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and
contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including
deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are
maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of
established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly
situated.
9.3. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.
The Company will and will cause each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their
respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than
ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith
may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not
prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the
operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is
desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such
discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
9.4. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND CLAIMS.
The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to
file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and
discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other
taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of
their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and
20
<PAGE> 27
assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent
and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might
become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, provided
that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment
or claims if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by
the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in
appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established
adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company
or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes and assessments in
the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
9.5. CORPORATE EXISTENCE, ETC.
The Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force
and effect its corporate existence. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.7, the
Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the
corporate existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (unless merged into
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of
the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force
and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.
The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are
outstanding:
10.1. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
The Company will not and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to enter into directly or indirectly any transaction (including
without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any
kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Company
or another Restricted Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to
the reasonable requirements of the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's
business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm's-length
transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.
10.2. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ETC.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, consolidate with or merge with any other corporation or convey,
transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or
series of transactions to any Person unless:
(a) (i) in the case of consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer or lease of or by the Company, the successor formed by such
consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the Person that
acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the
assets of the Company as an entirety, as the case may be, shall be a
solvent corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof (including
21
<PAGE> 28
District of Columbia) having unsecured senior debt rated "investment
grade" by at least one National Rating Agency or is otherwise
acceptable to the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding, and, if the Company is not such
corporation, (x) such corporation shall have executed and delivered to
each holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this
Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes and (y) shall have caused
to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally
recognized independent counsel, or other independent counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that all agreements
or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance
with their terms and comply with the terms hereof, which opinion shall
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders, and (ii) in the case of consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer or lease of or by any Restricted Subsidiary, either such
Restricted Subsidiary shall be merging into the Company or a
Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary or such transaction shall constitute
a Transfer permitted under Section 10.7 of this Agreement; and
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of the
Company shall have the effect of releasing the Company or any successor
corporation that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in
this Section 10.2 from its liability under this Agreement or the Notes.
10.3. LIENS.
The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or incur, or suffer to be incurred
or to exist, any Lien on its or their property or assets, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, or upon any income or profits therefrom, or transfer any
property for the purpose of subjecting the same to the payment of obligations in
priority to the payment of its or their general creditors, or acquire or agree
to acquire or agree to acquire, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to acquire,
any property or assets upon conditional sales agreements or other title

22
<PAGE> 29

Liens to secure the performance of bids, tenders or trade contracts, or
to secure statutory obligations, surety or appeal bonds or other Liens
of like general nature incurred in the ordinary course of business and
not in connection with the borrowing of money, provided in each case,
the obligation secured is not overdue or, if overdue, is being
contested in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings;
(d) minor title exceptions or minor encumbrances, easements,
encroachments, covenants or reservations, or rights of others for
rights-of-way, utilities and other similar purposes, or zoning or other
restrictions as to the use of real properties, which are necessary for
the conduct of the activities of the Company and its Restricted

business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(e) Liens securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary to the
Company or to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary;
(f) Liens on trucks and related equipment securing Debt,

(g) (i) Liens existing as of the date of Closing and reflected
in Schedule 10.3 hereto, and (ii) any Lien existing as of the date of
Closing which secures obligations not in excess of $50,000, provided
that the aggregate amount of obligations secured by all such Liens does
not exceed $500,000;
(h) Liens incurred after the date of Closing given to secure
the payment of the purchase price incurred in connection with the
acquisition after the date of Closing of fixed assets useful and
intended to be used in carrying on the business of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary, including Liens existing on such fixed assets at
the time of acquisition thereof or at the time of acquisition by the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of any business entity then owning
such fixed assets, whether or not such existing Liens were given to
secure the payment of the purchase price of the fixed assets to which
they attach so long as they were not incurred, extended or renewed in
contemplation of such acquisition, provided that (i) the Lien shall
attach solely to the fixed assets acquired or purchased no later than
90 days after such acquisition or purchase, (ii) at the time of
acquisition of such fixed assets, the aggregate amount remaining unpaid
on all Debt secured by Liens on such fixed assets whether or not
assumed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall not exceed an
amount equal to the lesser of the total purchase price or fair market
value at the time of acquisition of such fixed assets (as determined in
good faith by the Company), (iii) all such Debt shall have been
incurred within the applicable limitations provided in Section 10.5,
and (iv) the aggregate amount of all such Debt shall not at any time

any of its property or assets, or the property or assets of any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or transfer
any property for the purpose of subjecting the same to the payment of
obligations in priority to the payment of its or their general creditors, or
acquire or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to acquire, any property or assets
upon conditional sales agreements or other title retention devices, other than
as permitted by the provisions of clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 10.3,
then at the request of the Required Holders, the Company shall make or cause to
be made effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured equally and
ratably with any and all other obligations thereby secured, such security to be
pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and, in
any such case, the Notes shall have the benefit, to the fullest extent that, and
with such priority as, the holders of the Notes may be entitled under applicable
law, of an equitable Lien on such property, and the holders of the Notes shall
receive an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel selected by the
Company reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders that the holders of the
Notes are so secured. Such violation of this Section 10.3 will constitute an
Event of Default, whether or not provision is made for an equal and ratable Lien
pursuant to this Section 10.3.
10.4. LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY DEBT AND SECURED DEBT.
The Company will not at any time permit the aggregate principal amount

evidenced by a Guaranty of indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or
any other Person) plus (ii) Debt incurred pursuant to clause (i) of Section
10.3, to exceed 7.5% of Consolidated Net Worth.
10.5. FINANCIAL COVENANTS.
(a) Limitation on Current Debt. The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur or assume or otherwise
become directly or indirectly liable with respect to Current Debt, unless there
shall have been during the immediately preceding 12 months a period of at least
28 consecutive days during which there shall have been no Current Debt of the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding in excess of the amount of
additional Consolidated Funded Debt that the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries would have been permitted to (but did not) incur on each such day
under clause (b) of this Section 10.5; provided that in no event will the
Company permit Current Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
(excluding Current Debt owing to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted
Subsidiary and including, without limitation, Current Debt evidenced by a
Guaranty of indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or any other
Person) to at any time exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Worth.
24
<PAGE> 31
(b) Limitation on Consolidated Funded Debt. The Company will
not, at any time, permit the ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt plus, without
duplication, Funded Debt of the Company owed to Restricted Subsidiaries, to
Total Capitalization to be more than .55 to 1.
(c) Minimum Consolidated Net Worth. The Company will not, at
any time, permit Consolidated Net Worth to be less than the sum of (a)
$170,000,000 plus (b) an aggregate amount equal to 25% of Consolidated Net
Income (but, in each case, only if a positive number) for each completed fiscal
year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.
(d) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company will not permit
the ratio of (i) Consolidated Income Available for Fixed Charges to (ii) Fixed

by the Company out of the immediately preceding five fiscal quarters.
10.6. LIMITATION ON CHANGE IN BUSINESS.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general
nature of the business in which the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the
business in which the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
are engaged on the date of the Closing. For the purposes of this paragraph,
"substantially changed" means that, on any date of determination, less than 75%
of the revenues of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are generated by
similar or related lines of business to those in which the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of the
Closing.
10.7. SALE OF ASSETS, ETC.
(a) Sale of Assets, etc. The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Transfer, provided that
the foregoing restriction does not apply to a Transfer if:
(i) the property that is the subject of such Transfer
constitutes either (x) inventory held for sale or lease, or (y)
equipment, fixtures, supplies or materials no longer required in the
operation of the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
or that is obsolete, and, in the case of any Transfer described in
clause (x) or clause (y), such Transfer is for Fair Market Value and is
in the ordinary course of business (an "ORDINARY COURSE TRANSFER");
(ii) such Transfer is from a Restricted Subsidiary to the
Company or to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary, so long as
immediately before and immediately after the consummation of such
transaction, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of
Default exists or would exist (each such Transfer, an "INTERGROUP
TRANSFER"); or
25
<PAGE> 32
(iii) such Transfer is not an Ordinary Course Transfer or an
Intergroup Transfer (such transfers collectively referred to as
"EXCLUDED TRANSFERS"), and all of the following conditions shall have
been satisfied with respect thereto (the date of the consummation of
such Transfer of property being referred to herein as the "PROPERTY
DISPOSITION DATE"):
(x) (A) the Disposition Value of such property, when
added to the Disposition Value of all other property
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that
was subject to a Transfer (other than an Excluded
Transfer) during the 365-day period ending on and
including the Property Disposition Date of such
property does not exceed an amount equal to 15% of
Consolidated Assets (or, if the Disposition Value was
determined on the basis of Fair Market Value rather
than book value, 15% of the Fair Market Value of the
assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries) determined as of the end of the then
most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company,
and
(B) the Disposition Value of such property,
when added to the Disposition Value of all other
property of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries that was subject to a Transfer (other
than an Excluded Transfer) during the period
beginning on the date of the Closing and ending on
and including the Property Disposition Date of such
property does not exceed an amount equal to 35% of
Consolidated Assets (or, if the Disposition Value was
determined on the basis of Fair Market Value rather
than book value, 35% of the Fair Market Value of the
assets of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries) determined as of the end of the then
most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company,
(y) in the good faith opinion of the Company, the
Transfer is in exchange for consideration with a Fair Market
Value at least equal to that of the property exchanged, and is
in the best interests of the Company, and
(z) immediately before and after giving effect to
such transaction no Default or Event of Default would exist.
(b) Debt Prepayment Transfers and Reinvested Transfers.
(i) Debt Prepayment Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 10.7(a), the Net Proceeds Amount with respect to any
Transfer shall be excluded for the purposes of calculating the
limitation on Transfers of property permitted under Section
10.7(a)(iii)(x) hereof (a "DEBT PREPAYMENT TRANSFER") if (A) the
Company shall (x) prior to, or contemporaneously with, such Transfer
deliver a certificate of an officer of the Company to each holder of a
Note certifying that the Company elects to treat such Transfer as a
Debt Prepayment Transfer and (y) apply the Net Proceeds Amount in
respect of such Transfer to a Debt Prepayment Application within 180
days after such Transfer and (B) no Default or Event of Default would
exist immediately after giving effect to such
26
<PAGE> 33
Transfer and the application of the Net Proceeds Amount of such
Transfer to the Property Reinvestment Application.
(ii) Reinvested Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 10.7(a), the Net Proceeds Amount with respect to any Transfer
shall be excluded for the purposes of calculating the limitation on
Transfers of property permitted under Section 10.7(a)(iii)(x) hereof (a
"REINVESTED TRANSFER") if (A) the Company shall (x) prior to, or
contemporaneously with, such Transfer deliver a certificate of an
officer of the Company to each holder of a Note certifying that the
Company elects to treat such Transfer as a Reinvested Transfer and (y)
apply the Net Proceeds Amount in respect of such Transfer to a Property
Reinvestment Application within 180 days after such Transfer and (B) no
Default or Event of Default would exist immediately after giving effect
to such Transfer and the application of the Net Proceeds Amount of such
Transfer to the Property Reinvestment Application.
If the Company shall elect to treat any Transfer as a Debt Prepayment
Transfer and shall fail to timely apply the Net Proceeds Amount thereof to a
Debt Prepayment Application, such failure shall be deemed to be a failure to pay
principal and, if applicable, Make-Whole Amount, when due and shall constitute
an Event of Default as of the scheduled prepayment date under Section 11(a) and,
if applicable, shall also be deemed to be a failure to pay interest when due and
shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 11(b) as of the scheduled
prepayment date. If the Company shall elect to treat any Transfer as a
Reinvested Transfer and shall fail to timely apply the Net Proceeds Amount in
respect thereof to a Property Reinvestment Application, such Transfer shall be
deemed to have been consummated on the date of such Transfer.
(c) Other Provisions.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.7(a) and
(b), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into
Sale-and-Leaseback Transactions with respect to property acquired or
constructed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of
this Agreement and the Net Proceeds Amount with respect to such
Transfers shall be excluded for the purposes of calculating the
limitation on Transfers of property permitted under Section
10.7(a)(iii)(x) hereof, provided that any such Sale-and-Leaseback
Transaction is consummated within 180 days of the acquisition or
completion of construction of the applicable property; and
(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries will (x) Transfer the "Dreyer's" or "Edy's" trademarks,
provided that the Company may license such trademarks on a
non-exclusive and arms-length basis in the ordinary course of its
business, or (y) Transfer any of its accounts receivable.
27

10.8. REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, at any time, redeem or acquire any Preferred Stock,
at a mandatory redemption date or otherwise, unless immediately after giving
effect to such action no Default or Event of Default would exist.
11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
An "EVENT OF DEFAULT" shall exist if any of the following
conditions or events shall occur and be continuing:
(a) the Company defaults in the payment of any principal or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Note when the same becomes due and
payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by
declaration or otherwise; or
(b) the Company defaults in the payment of any interest on any

entitled to declare such Debt to be), due and payable before its stated

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section
12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature
and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of
such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall
all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company
acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the
right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company
(except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment
of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid
or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide
compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
30
<PAGE> 37
12.2. OTHER REMEDIES.
If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been
declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note
at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such
holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any
Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or
thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by
law or otherwise.
12.3. RESCISSION.
At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable
pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 76%
in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a)
the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid
other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue
principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default
Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts
that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or
have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been
entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No
rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any
subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
12.4. NO WAIVERS OR ELECTION OF REMEDIES, EXPENSES, ETC.
No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of
any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder's rights, powers or remedies. No
right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any
holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred
to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute
or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15,
the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in
any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements.
13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.
13.1. REGISTRATION OF NOTES.
The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a
register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name
and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the
name and address of each transferee of one or more
31
<PAGE> 38
Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered
shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes
hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the
contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an
Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct
copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.
13.2. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES.
Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office
of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a
surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such
Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address
for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall
execute and deliver, at the Company's expense (except as provided below), one or
more (as requested by the holder thereof) new Notes of the same Series in
exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to
such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to
which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of
the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental
charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be
transferred in denominations of less than $500,000, provided that if necessary
to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of
Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $500,000. Any transferee,
by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee),
shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.
13.3. REPLACEMENT OF NOTES.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional
Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or
is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a
minimum net worth of at least $100,000,000, such Person's own unsecured
agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
thereof,
the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been
paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed
32
<PAGE> 39
or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.
14.1. PLACE OF PAYMENT.
Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made
in the State of California at the principal office of the Company in such
jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note,
change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall
be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the
principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.
14.2. HOME OFFICE PAYMENT.
So long as you or your nominee shall be the holder of any
Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to
the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for
principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the
address specified for such purpose below your name in Schedule A, or by such
other method or at such other address as you shall have from time to time
specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation
or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that
upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably
promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender
such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the
Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most
recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale
or other disposition of any Note held by you or your nominee you will, at your
election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the
last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the
Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The
Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional
Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by you
under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note
as you have made in this Section 14.2.
15. EXPENSES, ETC.
15.1. TRANSACTION EXPENSES.
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Company will pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required,
local or other counsel) incurred by you and each Other Purchaser or holder of a
Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments,
waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether
or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without
limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or
determining whether or how to enforce
33
<PAGE> 40
or defend) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any
subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in
connection with this Agreement or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of
any Note, and (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors' fees,
incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any
Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes. The Company will pay, and
will save you and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in
respect of any fees, costs or expenses if any, of brokers and finders (other
than those retained by you).
15.2. SURVIVAL.
The obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will
survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of
this Agreement.
16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE
AGREEMENT.
All representations and warranties contained herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase
or transfer by you of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the
payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note,
regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of you or any
other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this
Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes
embody the entire agreement and understanding between you and the Company and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof.
17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.
17.1. REQUIREMENTS.
This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the
observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either
retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the
Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any
of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term
(as it is used therein), will be effective as to you unless consented to by you
in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent
of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject
to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change
the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the
rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of
the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal
amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or
20.
34
<PAGE> 41
17.2. SOLICITATION OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.
(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the
Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient
information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to
enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to
any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions
hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct
copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the
date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or
approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.
(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay
or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or
additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any holder of
Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any
holder of Notes or any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions
hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then
outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.
17.3. BINDING EFFECT, ETC.
Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this
Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and
upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to
whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such
amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant,
agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair
any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the
holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any
Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used
herein, the term "THIS AGREEMENT" and references thereto shall mean this
Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
17.4. NOTES HELD BY COMPANY, ETC.
Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of
the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be
given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any
action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the
holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of
its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.
35
<PAGE> 42
18. NOTICES.
All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be
in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a
confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service
(charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt
requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service
(with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

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

19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.
This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including,
without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter
be executed, (b) documents received by you at the Closing (except the Notes
themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information
previously or hereafter furnished to you, may be reproduced by you by any
photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or other
similar process and you may destroy any original document so reproduced. The
Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in
any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by you in the regular
course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of
such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19
shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any
such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from
introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
For the purposes of this Section 20, "CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION" means information delivered to you by or on behalf of the Company
or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or
otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was
clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by
you as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary,
provided that such term does
36
<PAGE> 43
not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to you
prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known
through no act or omission by you or any person acting on your behalf, (c)
otherwise becomes known to you other than through disclosure by the Company or
any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to you under
Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. You will maintain the
confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures
adopted by you in good faith to protect confidential information of third
parties delivered to you, provided that you may deliver or disclose Confidential
Information to (i) your directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and
affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the
administration of the investment represented by your Notes), (ii) your financial
advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the
Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this
Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor
to which you sell or offer to sell such Note or any part thereof or any
participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt
of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section
20), (v) any Person from which you offer to purchase any security of the Company
(if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential
Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal
or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you, (vii) the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any
nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about
your investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or
disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any
law, rule, regulation or order applicable to you, (x) in response to any
subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which
you are a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
the extent you may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be
necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights
and remedies under your Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its
acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be
entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this
Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery
to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder
under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a
party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an
agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.
21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.
You shall have the right to substitute any one of your
Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that you have agreed to purchase
hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by
both you and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate's agreement to be
bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of
the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.
Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word "you" is used in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer to such
Affiliate in lieu of you. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as
a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to you all of the
Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such
transfer, wherever the word "you" is used in this Agreement (other than in this
Section 21), such word shall no longer be
37
<PAGE> 44
deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to you, and you shall have
all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.
22. MISCELLANEOUS.
22.1. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement
by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any
subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.
22.2. PAYMENTS DUE ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS.
Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-whole Amount or interest on
any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in
the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.
22.3. SEVERABILITY.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
22.4. CONSTRUCTION.
Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent
express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant
contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent
such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any
other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any
Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be
applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
22.5. COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each
signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
38
<PAGE> 45
22.6. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State
of California excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that
would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such
State.
