THE ATTACHED SCHEDULE A:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

J.B. HUNT TRANSPORT
SERVICES, INC., an Arkansas corporation (the “Parent”), and J.B. HUNT
TRANSPORT, INC., a Georgia corporation and a Subsidiary of the Parent (the “Company”),
agree with you as follows:

1.             AUTHORIZATION
OF NOTES.

1.1          Description of Notes to

The Company has authorized the issue and sale of
$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.08% Senior Notes due July 26,
2014 (the “Series 2007 Notes”).  The
Series 2007 Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in
Exhibit 1.1, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by
the Purchasers 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.

1.2          Additional Series of
Notes.

In addition to the issuance and sale of the Series
2007 Notes, the Company may from time to time issue and sell one or more
additional series of notes (the “Additional Notes” and together with the Series
2007 Notes, the “Notes,” such term to include any such Notes issued in
substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement) pursuant to
this Agreement, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Notes
issued pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed $1,500,000,000.  Each series of Additional Notes will be
issued pursuant to a

supplement to this
Agreement (a “Supplement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit 1.2, and
will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)           the designation of each series of  Additional Notes shall distinguish such
series from the Notes of all other series;

(b)           each series of Additional Notes may consist
of different and separate tranches and may differ as to outstanding principal
amounts, maturity dates, interest rates and premiums or make-whole amounts, if
any, and price and terms of redemption or payment prior to maturity;

(c)           all Notes issued under this Agreement,
including pursuant to any Supplement, shall rank pari passu
with each other and shall constitute Senior Indebtedness;

(d)           each series of Additional Notes shall be
dated the date of issue, bear interest at such rate or rates, mature on such
date or dates, be subject to such mandatory or optional prepayments, if any, on
the dates and with the make-whole amounts, premiums or breakage amounts, if
any, as are provided in the Supplement under which such Additional Notes are
issued, and shall have such additional or different conditions precedent to
closing and such additional or different representations and warranties or,
subject to Section 1.2(e), other terms and provisions as shall be specified in
such Supplement;

(e)           any additional or more restrictive covenants,

Supplement shall apply to all outstanding Notes, whether or not the Supplement
so provides; and

(f)            except to the extent provided in foregoing
clause (d), all of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all
Additional Notes.

1.3          Parent Guaranty.

The payment by the Company of all amounts due with
respect to the Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations
under this Agreement will be guaranteed by the Parent pursuant to the Parent

may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Parent Guaranty”).

1.4          Floating Interest Rate
Provisions for Floating Rate Notes.

(a)           Adjusted LIBOR Rate.  “Adjusted
LIBOR Rate” means, for each Interest Period, the rate per annum equal
to LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the percentage applicable to a series or
tranche of floating rate Notes.  For
purposes of determining Adjusted LIBOR Rate, the following terms have the
following meanings:

“LIBOR” means,
for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to
the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage

 2
 

point) for deposits in
U.S. Dollars for a 3-month period (or such other period as is specified in the
applicable Supplement) that appears on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Service
Page BBAM-1 (or if such page is not available, the Reuters Screen LIBO Page) as
of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the date two Business Days before the
commencement of such Interest Period (or three Business Days before the
commencement of the first Interest Period).

“Reuters
Screen LIBO Page” means the display designated as the “LIBO”
page on the Reuters Monitory Money Rates Service (or such other page as may
replace the LIBO page on that service) or such other service as may be
nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the
purpose of displaying British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates
for U.S. Dollar deposits.

(b)           Determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.  The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined
by the Company, and notice thereof shall be given to the holders of the
applicable series or tranche of floating rate Notes, within two Business Days
after the beginning of each Interest Period, together with (i) a copy of the
relevant screen used for the determination of LIBOR, (ii) a calculation of the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, (iii) the number of days in
such Interest Period, (iv) the date on which interest for such Interest Period
will be paid and (v) the amount of interest to be paid to each holder of Notes
of such series or tranche on such date. 
If the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such
series or tranche outstanding do not concur with such determination by the
Company, as evidenced by a single written notice delivered to the Company
within 10 Business Days after receipt by such holders of the notice delivered
by the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the
determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be made by such holders of the
Notes, and any such determination made in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(c)           Interest Period.  “Interest
Period” means for any series or tranche of floating rate Notes and
for any period for which interest is to be calculated or paid, the period
commencing on an interest payment date for such series or tranche of floating
rate Notes, or on the date of Closing in the case of the first such period, and
continuing up to, but not including, the next interest payment date.

Authority.

Each of the Parent and the Company is a corporation
duly incorporated and 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.  Each of the Parent and 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 Notes (in the case of the Company) and the Parent Guaranty (in the case of
the Parent) and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

 6
 

5.2          Authorization, etc.

This Agreement 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 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, ,
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, 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).

This Agreement and the Parent Guaranty have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Parent, and
this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof the Parent
Guaranty will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent,
enforceable against the Parent in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, 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 Parent and the Company, through their agents,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., have delivered
to you and each Other Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum, dated
July 2007 (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 Parent and its Subsidiaries. 
This Agreement, the Memorandum (including the Parent’s SEC filings
referred to therein), the documents, certificates or other writings identified
in Schedule 5.3 by or on behalf of the Parent in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed in
Schedule 5.5, in each case, delivered to the Purchasers prior to July 17, 2007
(this Agreement, the Memorandum and such documents, certificates or other
writings and such financial statements being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure
Documents”), 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 Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2006, there has been no change in
the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Parent 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 Parent or the
Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

5.4          Organization and
Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.

(a)           Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted
therein) complete and correct lists of (i) the Parent’s Subsidiaries,

its organization and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital

 7
 

stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Parent and
each other Subsidiary, (ii) the Parent’s Affiliates, other than
Subsidiaries, and (iii) the Parent’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 Parent and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are
fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Parent or another Subsidiary
(except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4) 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 or equivalent status 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 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, regulatory, contractual or other restriction restricting
the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any
other similar distributions of profits to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of
such Subsidiary.

5.5          Financial Statements;
Material Liabilities.

The Parent has delivered to you and each Other
Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Parent 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 Parent 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).  The
Parent and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not
disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure
Documents.

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,

 8
 

(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.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Parent
of this Agreement and the Parent Guaranty 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 Parent 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
Parent or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Parent or any Subsidiary or
any of their respective properties may be bound, (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 Parent or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of
any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority
applicable to the Parent or any Subsidiary

5.7          Governmental
Authorizations, etc.

No consent, approval or authorization of, or
registration, filing (other than Form 8-K after the Closing pursuant to the
Exchange Act) or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in
connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this
Agreement or the Notes or the execution, delivery or performance by the Parent
of this Agreement or the Parent Guaranty.

5.8          Litigation; Observance
of Statutes and Orders.

(a)           Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.8, there
are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Parent threatened against or affecting the Parent or any
Subsidiary or any property of the Parent 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 Parent 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 Environmental Laws and the USA Patriot Act) 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 Parent 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

 9
 

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.  Neither the Parent nor the
Company know of any 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 Parent and its
Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods
are adequate in accordance with past practices. 
The Federal income tax liabilities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries
have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the
statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, as further described in Footnote 6 of the
notes to the most recent audited consolidated financial statements referred to
in Schedule 5.5.

5.10        Title to Property; Leases.

The Parent 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 Parent 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.

5.11        Licenses, Permits, etc.

(a)           The Parent and its Subsidiaries own or
possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights,
proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights
thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known
conflict with the rights of others.

(b)           To the best knowledge of the Parent, no
product of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any material
respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright,
proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned
by any other Person.

(c)           To the best knowledge of the Parent, there is
no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software,
service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.12        Compliance with ERISA.

(a)           The Parent and each ERISA Affiliate have
operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws
except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

 10
 

Adverse Effect.  Neither the
Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to
Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code
relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and
no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably
be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Parent or
any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights,
properties or assets of the Parent or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case
pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax
provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of
ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in
the aggregate Material.

(b)           The present value of the aggregate benefit
liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans),
determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the
basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s
most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current
value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by an
amount that, individually, or in the aggregate for all Plans, is Material.  The term “benefit liabilities” has the
meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value”
and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

(c)           The Parent and its ERISA Affiliates have not
incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal
liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of
Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material.

(d)           The expected postretirement benefit
obligation (determined as of the last day of the Parent’s most recently ended
fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage
mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is
not Material.

(e)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any
transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or
in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to
section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. 
The representation by the Parent and the Company in the first sentence of
this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of
your representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay
the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by you.

5.13        Private Offering by the
Company.

None of the Parent, the Company or anyone acting on
their behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or
solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or
negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than you, the Other
Purchasers and not more than [  ] other Institutional Investors, each
of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment.  None of the Parent, the Company or anyone
acting on their behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject
the issuance or sale of the Notes

 11
 

to the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration
requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

5.14        Use of Proceeds; Margin
Regulations.

Net proceeds from the sale
of the Notes will be used to refinance existing Indebtedness as described in
the Memorandum, for the acquisition of new equipment and for general corporate
purposes (including the repurchase of shares of the Parent’s outstanding
stock).  No part of the proceeds
from the sale of the Notes will be used, directly or indirectly, for the
purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation
U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for
the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such
circumstances as to involve the Company or the Parent in a violation of
Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a
violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220).  Margin stock does not constitute more than 1%
of the value of the consolidated assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and
the Parent does not have any present intention that margin stock will
constitute more than 1% of the value of such assets.  As used in this Section, the terms “margin
stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to
them in said Regulation U.

5.15        Existing Indebtedness;
Future Liens.

(a)           Except as described therein, Schedule 5.15
sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the
Parent and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 (including a description
of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral
therefor, if any, and guaranty thereof, if any), since which date there has
been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds,
installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Parent or its
Subsidiaries.  Neither the Parent nor any
Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in
the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Parent or
any Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any

the Series 2007 Notes is reduced as a result of such prepayment.

8.2          Optional Prepayments.

(a)           Fixed
Rate Notes.  The Company may, at its

series or tranche of fixed rate Notes being prepaid a certificate of a Senior
Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of

of Change of Control or Control Event — The Company will, within five
Business Days after any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of
any Change of Control or Control Event, give notice of such Change of Control
or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless notice in respect of such
Change of Control (or the Change of Control contemplated by such Control Event)
shall have been given pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 8.3.  If a Change of Control has occurred, such
notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in
paragraph (c) of this Section 8.3 and shall be accompanied by the certificate
described in paragraph (g) of this Section 8.3.

(b)           Condition
to Company Action — The Company will not take any action that consummates
or finalizes a Change of Control unless (i) at least 15 Business Days prior to
such action it shall have given to each holder of Notes written notice
containing and constituting an offer to prepay Notes accompanied by the
certificate described in paragraph (g) of this Section 8.3, and (ii) subject to
the provisions of paragraph (d) below, contemporaneously with such action,
it prepays all Notes required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section
8.3.

(c)           Offer
to Prepay Notes — The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by paragraphs (a)
and (b) of this Section 8.3 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and
subject to this Section 8.3, all, but not less than all, of the Notes held by
each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in
the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such
beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment
Date”).  If such Proposed Prepayment Date
is in connection with an offer contemplated by paragraph (a) of this Section
8.3, such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after
the date of such offer.

(d)           Acceptance;
Rejection — A holder of Notes may reject the offer to prepay made pursuant
to this Section 8.3 by causing a notice of such rejection to be delivered to
the Company on or before the date specified in the certificate described in
paragraph (g) of this Section 8.3. 
A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made
pursuant to this Section 8.3, or to reject an offer as to all of the Notes held
by the holder, within such time period shall be deemed to constitute acceptance
of such offer by such holder.

(e)           Prepayment
— Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be
at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such
Notes accrued to the date of prepayment and shall not require the payment of
any Make-Whole Amount, prepayment premium or LIBOR Breakage Amount.  The 

 21
 

prepayment
shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date except as provided in paragraph
(f) of this Section 8.3.

(f)            Deferral
Pending Change of Control — The obligation of the Company to prepay Notes
pursuant to the offers required by paragraphs (a) and (b) and accepted in
accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 8.3 is subject to the occurrence
of the Change of Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall
have been made.  In the event that such
Change of Control does not occur on or prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date in
respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until and shall be made on
the date on which such Change of Control occurs.  The Company shall keep each holder of Notes
reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date of
prepayment, (ii) the date on which such Change of Control and the
prepayment are expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the
Company that efforts to effect such Change of Control have ceased or been
abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this
Section 8.3 in respect of such Change of Control shall be deemed
rescinded).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the prepayment has not been made within 90 days
after such Proposed Prepayment Date by virtue of the deferral provided for in
this Section 8.3(f), the Company shall make a new offer to prepay in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section 8.3.

accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date, (v) that the conditions of this
Section 8.3 have been fulfilled, (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and

Section 8.3(b), the date of the action referred to in Section 8.3(b)(i).

8.4          Allocation of Partial
Prepayments.

In
the case of each partial prepayment of Notes of a series or tranche pursuant to
Section 8.2(a) or (b), the principal amount of the Notes of the series or
tranche to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of such series
or tranche at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for
prepayment.

8.5          Maturity; Surrender,
etc.

In
the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal
amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on
the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal
amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any,
prepayment premium, if any, and LIBOR Breakage 

 22
 

Amount, if any. 
From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such
principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, prepayment premium, if any, or LIBOR Breakage
Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to
accrue.  Any Note paid or prepaid in full,
after such payment and upon the written request of the Company, shall be
surrendered to the Company and canceled and shall not be reissued, and no Note
shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

8.6          Purchase of Notes.

The
Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay
or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes
except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the Notes.  The
Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant
to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such
Notes.

8.7          Make-Whole Amount.

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

“Called Principal” means, with
respect to any fixed rate Note, the principal of such Note that is to be
prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be
immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context
requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with
respect to the Called Principal of any fixed rate Note, the amount obtained by
discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called
Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with
respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice
and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which
interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect
to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with
respect to the Called Principal of any fixed rate Note, .50% over the yield to
maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1”  (or such other display as may replace Page
PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) or, if Page PX1 (or its
successor screen on Bloomberg) is unavailable, the Telerate Access Service
screen which corresponds most closely to Page PX1 for the most recently issued
actively traded on-the-run 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 (including by way of interpolation), the
Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which
such yields have 

 23
 

been so reported as of the second Business Day
preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal
Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor
publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant
maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of
such Settlement Date.  Such implied yield
will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill
quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S.
Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining
Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the
maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to
the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable
Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means,
with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (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 fixed rate 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 fixed rate Note, the date on which such
Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or
is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as
the context requires.

8.8          LIBOR Breakage Amount.

The
term “LIBOR Breakage Amount” means any loss,
cost or expense reasonably incurred by any holder of a floating rate Note as a
result of any payment or prepayment of such Note (whether voluntary, mandatory,
automatic, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) on a day other than an
interest payment date or at scheduled maturity thereof, and any loss or expense
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by such holder
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained.  Any such loss, cost or expense
shall be limited to the time period from the date of such prepayment through
the earlier of the next interest payment date or the maturity of such floating
rate Note.  Each holder of a floating
rate Note shall determine the LIBOR Breakage Amount with respect to the
principal amount of its floating rate Notes then being paid or prepaid (or
required to be paid or prepaid) by written notice to the Company setting forth
such determination in reasonable 

 24
 

detail not less
than two Business Days prior to the date of prepayment.  Each such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

9.             AFFIRMATIVE
COVENANTS.

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

9.1          Compliance with Law.

Without
limiting Section 10.10, the Parent and the Company will, and the Parent
will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental
rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including ERISA, the USA
Patriot Act and 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
Parent and the Company will, and the Parent will cause each Subsidiary to,
maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance (including
self-insurance with reserves and reinsurance, maintained in accordance with
current Parent practices) 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 and co-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
Parent and the Company will, and the Parent will cause each Subsidiary 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 Parent
or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any
of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its
business and the Parent 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
Parent and the Company will, and the Parent will cause each Subsidiary 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 

 25
 

extent such taxes and 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 Parent or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Parent nor
any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment or claims if (i) the
amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Parent or such
Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and
the Parent or such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in
accordance with GAAP on the books of the Parent or such Subsidiary or
(ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments and claims in the
aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.5          Corporate Existence,
etc.

Subject
to Section 10.6, each of the Parent and the Company will at all times preserve
and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.  Subject, as to any Subsidiary other than the
Company, to Sections 10.6 and 10.7, the Parent will at all times preserve and
keep in full force and effect the corporate (or, as applicable, limited
liability company) existence of each Subsidiary (unless merged into the Parent
or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Parent and
its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Parent, 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, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.6          Books and Records.

The
Parent and the Company will, and the Parent will cause each Subsidiary to,
maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all
applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or
regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may
be.

9.7          Subsidiary Guaranty;
Release.

(a)
          Subsidiary
Guarantors.  The Parent will cause each Subsidiary other
than the Company that, on or after the date of the Closing, is or becomes a
borrower or guarantor of Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Agreement, on
the date of the Closing or within 10 Business Days of its thereafter becoming a
co-obligor, borrower or a guarantor of Indebtedness in respect of the Credit
Agreement to execute and deliver or become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty
in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit 9.7, as it hereafter may be
amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”), and shall
deliver to each holder of Notes:

(i)            an
executed counterpart of the Subsidiary Guaranty, or, if the Subsidiary Guaranty
has been previously executed and delivered, an executed counterpart of a Joinder
thereto;

(ii)           copies
of such directors’ or other authorizing resolutions, charter, bylaws and other
constitutive documents of such Subsidiary as the Required Holders may
reasonably request; and

 26
 

(iii)          an
opinion of independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders
covering the authorization, execution, delivery, compliance with law, no
conflict with other documents, no consents and enforceability of the Subsidiary
Guaranty against such Subsidiary in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Holders.

(b)           Release
of Subsidiary Guarantor.  Each holder
of a Note fully releases and discharges from the Subsidiary Guaranty a
Subsidiary Guarantor, immediately and without any further act, upon such
Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged as a co-obligor, borrower or
guarantor under and in respect of the Credit Agreement; provided that (i) no
Default or Event of Default exists or will exist immediately following such
release and discharge; (ii) if any fee or other consideration is paid or given
to any holder of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement in connection with
such release, other than the repayment of all or a portion of such Indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement, each holder of a Note receives equivalent
consideration on a pro rata basis; and (iii) at the time of such release and
discharge, the Company delivers to each holder of Notes a certificate of a
Responsible Officer certifying (x) that such Subsidiary Guarantor has been or
is being released and discharged as a co-obligor, borrower or guarantor under
and in respect of the Credit Agreement and (y) as to the matters set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii).  Any outstanding
Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to have been incurred by
such Subsidiary Guarantor as of the date it is released and discharged from the
Subsidiary Guaranty.

9.8          Pari Passu Ranking.

The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes will at all
times rank at least pari passu with
all unsecured Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

10.          NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

The
Parent covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

10.1        Ratio of Adjusted Debt to
Cash Flow.

The
Parent will not permit the ratio of Adjusted Debt to Cash Flow (for the four
Fiscal Quarters ended on such date) to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of any
Fiscal Quarter.

10.2        Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio.

The
Parent will not permit, as of the end of any Fiscal Quarter, the ratio of Cash
Flow Available for Fixed Charges (for the four Fiscal Quarters ended on such
date) to Fixed Charges (for the four Fiscal Quarters ended on such date) to be
less than 1.25 to 1.00.

10.3        Priority Debt.

The
Parent will not at any time permit Priority Debt to exceed the greater of
$100,000,000 or 20% of Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the most
recently completed Fiscal Quarter.

 27
 

10.4        Liens.

The
Parent and Company will not, and the Parent will not permit any Subsidiary to,
create, assume or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, any Lien on its
properties or assets, including capital stock, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, except:

for taxes, assessments, or governmental charges or levies not yet due or which
are being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, so long
as reserves have been established to the extent required by GAAP;

(b)           other
Liens incidental to the conduct of their business or the ownership of their
property and assets (such as common carrier’s Liens, producer’s Liens, mechanic’s
Liens, and other similar statutory and non-consensual Liens) which were not
incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances
or credit, and which do not in the aggregate materially detract from the value
of their property or assets or materially impair the use thereof in the operation
of their business;

(c)           any
Lien existing on any property of any Person at the time it becomes a Subsidiary
or existing prior to the time of acquisition upon any property acquired by the
Parent or any Subsidiary through purchase, merger or consolidation or
otherwise, whether or not assumed by the Parent or such Subsidiary, or placed
upon property at the time of its acquisition by the Parent or any Subsidiary to
secure a portion of the purchase price thereof, or placed upon property
hereafter acquired by the Parent or any Subsidiary at the time of the
acquisition thereof; provided that (i) at the time of creation of such Lien the
principal amount of Indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the amounts
otherwise permitted by paragraph (i) of this Section 10.4, and (ii) any such
Lien shall not encumber any other property of the Parent or such Subsidiary;

(d)           Liens
on any existing property or assets of the Parent or any Subsidiary, if any,
that are the subject of a Permitted Securitized Receivables Transaction;

Indebtedness secured thereby is permitted hereunder;

(f)            deposits,
bonding arrangements and Liens to secure the performance of (or to secure

existing on property or assets of the Parent or any Subsidiary as of the date
of this Agreement that are described in Schedule 10.4; and

 28
 

(i)            Liens
securing Indebtedness not otherwise permitted by paragraphs (a) through (h) of
this Section 10.4, provided that Priority Debt does not at any time exceed the
greater of $100,000,000 or 20% of Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the
most recently completed Fiscal Quarter.

10.5        Subsidiary Indebtedness

The
Parent will not at any time permit any Subsidiary other than the Company to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee, have outstanding, or
otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to, any
Indebtedness other than:

(a)           Indebtedness
of a Subsidiary that is a Guarantor of the Notes under the Subsidiary Guaranty;

(b)           Indebtedness
of a Subsidiary outstanding on the date of Closing that is listed and described
in Schedule 10.5 and any extension, refinancing, renewal or refunding thereof; provided that there is no increase in the
principal amount of such Indebtedness;

(c)           Indebtedness

of such Person becoming a Subsidiary and (ii) immediately after such Person
becomes a Subsidiary, no Default of Event of Default shall exist;

(f)            Indebtedness
of a Subsidiary not otherwise permitted by paragraphs (a) through (e) of this
Section 10.5, provided that immediately before and after giving effect thereto
and to the application of the proceeds thereof,

(i)            no
Default or Event of Default exists, and

(ii)           Priority
Debt does not at any time exceed the greater of $100,000,000 or 20% of
Consolidated Net Worth as of the end of the most recently completed Fiscal

10.6        Mergers, Consolidations,
etc.

The
Parent and the Company will not consolidate with or merge with any other Person
or convey, transfer, sell or lease all or substantially all of its assets in a
single transaction or series of transactions to any Person except that:

 29
 

(a)           the
Company may consolidate or merge with the Parent or convey, transfer, sell or
lease all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series
of transactions to the Parent, provided that the Parent is the successor or
survivor;

(b)           the
Parent may consolidate or merge with any other Person or convey, transfer, sell
or lease all or substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or
series of transactions to any Person, provided that

(i)            the
successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the
Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer, sale or lease all or
substantially all of the assets of the Parent as an entirety, as the case may
be, is a solvent corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), and,
if the Parent is not such successor or survivor, such corporation (1) 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 and the Parent Guaranty and (2) 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; and

(ii)           after
giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

No such conveyance, transfer, sale or lease of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Parent shall have the effect of releasing
the Parent or any successor corporation that shall theretofore have become such
in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.6 from its liability under
this Agreement or the Parent Guaranty.

10.7        Sale of Assets.

Except
as permitted by Section 10.6, the Parent will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, including by way
of merger (collectively a “Disposition”), any assets, in one or a series of
transactions, to any Person, other than:

(a)           Dispositions
in the ordinary course of business;

(b)           Dispositions
by a Subsidiary to the Parent or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or by the Parent to
a Wholly Owned Subsidiary;

(c)           Dispositions
of Receivables and rights related
thereto in a Permitted Securitized Receivables Transaction;

(d)           Dispositions
of Parent’s ownership interest in Transplace,
Inc.;

 30
 

(e)           Dispositions
not otherwise permitted by paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this
Section 10.7 provided that:

(i)            in
the good faith opinion of the Parent, the Disposition is in exchange for
consideration having a fair market value at least equal to that of the property
exchanged and is in the best interest of the Parent or such Subsidiary;

(ii)           after
giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;
and

(iii)          immediately
after giving effect to the Disposition, the aggregate net book value of all
assets that were the subject of any Disposition occurring in the then current
fiscal year would not exceed 15% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the last
day of the most recently ended fiscal year of the Parent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent may, or may
permit a Subsidiary to, make a Disposition and the assets subject to such
Disposition shall not be subject to or included in the foregoing limitation and
computation contained in paragraph (e)(iii) of the preceding sentence if,
within 365 days of such Disposition, an amount equal to the net proceeds from
such Disposition is:

(A)          reinvested in productive
assets to be used in the existing business of the Parent or a Subsidiary; or

(B)           the net proceeds from
such Disposition are applied to the payment or prepayment of the Notes or any
other outstanding Indebtedness of the Parent or any Subsidiary ranking pari
passu with or senior to the Notes.

For purposes of foregoing clause (B), the Company
shall offer to prepay (on a Business Day not less than 30 or more than 60 days
following such offer) the Notes on a pro rata basis with any such other
Indebtedness that the Company elects to include in such offer at a price of
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid (without any Make-Whole
Amount) together with interest accrued to the date of prepayment; provided that
if any holder of the Notes declines or rejects such offer, the proceeds that
would have been paid to such holder shall be offered pro rata to the other
holders of the Notes that have accepted the offer.  A failure by a holder of Notes to respond in
writing not later than 10 Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date
to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall be deemed to
constitute an acceptance of such offer by such holder.  Solely for the purposes of foregoing clause
(B), whether or not such offers are accepted by the holders, the entire
principal amount of the Notes subject thereto shall be deemed to have been
prepaid.

10.8        Nature of Business.

The
Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business
if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Parent and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially
changed from the general nature of the business in which the Parent and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement as
described in the Memorandum.

 31
 

10.9        Transactions with
Affiliates.

The
Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or
indirectly any Material transaction or Material group of related transactions
(including the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or
the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than the Parent or
another Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and pursuant to the
reasonable requirements of the Parent’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon
fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Parent or such Subsidiary
than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person
not an Affiliate.

10.10      Terrorism Sanctions
Regulations.

The
Parent will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to (a) become a Person
described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked
Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the
Anti Terrorism Order or (b) knowingly engage in any dealings or transactions
with any such Person.

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, Make-Whole Amount, if any,
prepayment premium, if any, or LIBOR Breakage 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 Note for more than five
Business Days after the same becomes due and payable; or

(c)           the
Parent or the Company defaults in the performance of or compliance with any
term contained in Section 7.1(d) or Sections 10.1 through 10.10; or

(d)           the
Parent or the Company defaults in the performance of or compliance
with any term contained herein (other than those referred to in
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 11) and such default is
not remedied within 30 days after the earlier of (i) a Responsible Officer
obtaining actual knowledge of such default and (ii) the Company receiving
written notice of such default from any holder of a Note (any such written
notice to be identified as a “notice of default” and to refer specifically to
this paragraph (d) of Section 11); or

(e)           any
representation or warranty made in writing by or on behalf of the Parent or the
Company or by any officer of the Parent or the Company in this Agreement or in
any writing furnished in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby proves to have been false or incorrect in any material respect on the
date as of which made; or

 32
 

(f)            (i)
the Parent or any Subsidiary is in default (as principal or as guarantor or
other surety) in the payment of any principal of or premium or make-whole
amount, libor breakage amount, or interest on any Indebtedness that is
outstanding in an aggregate principal amount of at least $50,000,000 beyond any
period of grace provided with respect thereto, or (ii) the Parent or any
Subsidiary is in default in the performance of or compliance with any term of
any evidence of any Indebtedness that is outstanding in an aggregate principal

12.          REMEDIES ON DEFAULT,
ETC.

12.1        Acceleration.

(a)           If
an Event of Default with respect to the Parent or the Company described in
paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default
described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or described in clause (vi)
of paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause
(i) of paragraph (g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall
automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b)           If
any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or
holders of at least 51% in principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the
Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and
payable.

 34
 

(c)           If
any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has
occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time
outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their
option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it
or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon
any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether
automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the
entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (w) all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at
the Default Rate), (x) any applicable Make-Whole Amount determined in respect
of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), (y)
any applicable prepayment premium (to the full extent permitted by applicable
law), and (z) any LIBOR Breakage Amount determined in respect of such principal
amount, 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, prepayment premium or LIBOR Breakage Amount by the Company,
if any, in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result
of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation
of such right under such circumstances.

12.2        Other Remedies.

If
any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and
irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately
due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time
outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an
action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the
specific performance of any agreement contained 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 holder or holders of at least 51% in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may
rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company
has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and any applicable
Make-Whole Amount, prepayment premium and LIBOR Breakage Amount 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 any Make-Whole
Amount, prepayment premium and LIBOR Breakage Amount and (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at
the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid
any amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) 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 (d) no judgment or decree has been entered
for the payment of any monies due 

 35
 

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 reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

13.          REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE;
SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

13.1        Registration of Notes.

The
Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the
registration and registration of transfers of Notes.  The name and address of each holder of one or
more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee
of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register.  Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed
and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the
Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.  The Company shall give to any holder of a
Note that is an Institutional Investor, promptly upon request therefor, a
complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders
of Notes.

13.2        Transfer and Exchange of
Notes.

Upon
surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the
designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)), for registration of
transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of
transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the
registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for
notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall
execute and deliver within 10 Business Days, at the Company’s expense (except
as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof)
in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of the surrendered Note. 
Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may
request and shall be substantially in the form of Note specified for the Notes
of such series and tranche, if any.  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 

 36
 

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 representations set forth in Section 6.2.

13.3        Replacement of Notes.

Upon
receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated
officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) 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 $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, 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 within 10 Business Days, in lieu thereof, of the same series and
tranche, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have
been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date
of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have
been paid thereon.

14.          PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

14.1        Place of Payment.

Subject
to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, prepayment
premium, if any, LIBOR Breakage Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and
payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal
office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. 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, prepayment premium, if any, LIBOR
Breakage 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 

 37
 

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 Parent or the
Company will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
of one special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders,
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, the Notes, the

in excess of $3,000, incurred in connection with the initial filing of this
Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the
SVO.  The Company will pay, and will save
you and each Other Purchaser or 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, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with
its purchase of the Notes).

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 

 38
 

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; provided, however that all representations and warranties
contained herein shall expire upon the indefeasible payment in full of all
amounts due in connection with this Agreement. 
All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument
delivered by or on behalf of the Parent or the Company pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Parent and 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 Parent 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, the Notes, the Parent Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranty may be
amended, and the observance of any term hereof or thereof 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to
the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, a specific
series of Notes (and the related provisions of this Agreement) may be amended
by the Company and the holders of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
such series of Notes if the effect of such amendment is solely to 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 or LIBOR Breakage Amount on the Notes of such series.

17.2        Solicitation of Holders of
Notes.

(a)           Solicitation.  The Parent and 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.

 39
 

(b)           Payment.  The Parent and 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 of 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 that also enters into any waiver or amendment of any of the terms
and provisions hereto.  If any such
remuneration is paid to any holder of Notes that for any reason does not enter
into any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof, such
remuneration shall also be paid to all other non-consenting holders.

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 Parent and 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 Parent or
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” or “the Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this
Note Purchase 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.

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:

(i)            if
to you or your nominee, to you or it at the address specified for such
communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as you or it shall have
specified to the Company in writing,

 40
 

(ii)           if

to the Company, the Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor, to the Company at its
address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of David Chelette,
or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of
each Note in writing.

Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given
only when actually received.

19.          REPRODUCTION OF
DOCUMENTS.

This
Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including (a) consents,
waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents
received by you at a 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, electronic, digital 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 any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent 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 Parent or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does 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
Parent 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 

 41
 

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 NAIC or the SVO or, in
each case, 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; provided; however, that you shall
pay any additional expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such
substitution, including expenses due to a delay in the Closing or any
requirement that the Company provide additional closing certificates.  Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the
word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word
shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of you.  In the event that such Affiliate is so
substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to
you all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company
of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), such word shall no longer be deemed to
refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to you, and you shall have all the
rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

22.          MISCELLANEOUS.

22.1        Successors and Assigns.

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

 42
 

22.2        Payments Due on
Non-Business Days.

Anything
in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without
limiting the requirement in Section 8.2 that the notice of any optional
prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any
payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount, LIBOR Breakage 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; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a
Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed
in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

22.3        Accounting Terms.

All
accounting terms used herein that are not expressly defined in this Agreement
have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.  Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in
accordance with GAAP and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

22.4        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 fullest extent permitted by law) not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

22.5        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.

For
the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

22.6        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.

 43
 

22.7        Governing Law.

This
Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of
the parties shall be governed by, the law of the state of New York excluding
choice of law principles of the law of such state that would require the
application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.

22.8        Jurisdiction and Process;
Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)           Each
of the Parent and the Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parent Guaranty, the Subsidiary
Guaranty or the Notes.  To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Parent and the Company
irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or
otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the
venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any
claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)           Each
of the Parent and the Company consents to process being served by or on behalf
of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred
to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such
other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to
said Section.  Each of the Parent and the
Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or
proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to
it.  Notices hereunder shall be
conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by
the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c)           Nothing
in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to
serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the
holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company
in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful
manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d)           THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

 44

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

Company, the Parent and the purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed in the Note Purchase Agreement.  Reference is further made to Section 1.2 of
the Note Purchase Agreement, which provides that each series of Additional

The Company agrees with
the Purchaser[s] as follows:

1.                                       Authorization

principal amount of Notes to be designated as its [   %]

[    ] Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in
Exhibit 1 to this [    ] Supplement, with such changes

not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall,

Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason
of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

Schedule 4 to

[   ] Supplement

SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS

Each of the Parent and the Company represents and
warrants to each Purchaser that, except as hereinafter set forth in this
Schedule 4, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5
of the Note Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as
of the date hereof with respect to the Series             
Notes with the same force and effect as if each reference to “Series 2007 Notes”
set forth therein was modified to refer to the “Series             
Notes” and each reference to “this Agreement” therein was modified to refer to
the Note Purchase Agreement as supplemented by the               
Supplement.  The Section references
hereinafter set forth correspond to the similar sections of the Note Purchase
Agreement that are supplemented hereby:

Section 5.3.                                   Disclosure.  The Parent and the Company, through their
agents, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., have
delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum, dated
[     ] (the “Memorandum”), relating to
the transactions contemplated by the [            ]
Supplement.  The Memorandum fairly
describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and
principal properties of the Parent and its Subsidiaries.  The Note Purchase Agreement, the Memorandum
(including the Parent’s SEC filings referred to therein), the documents,
certificates or other writings identified in Schedule 5.3 by or on behalf of
the Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note
Purchase Agreement and the               
Supplement and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 to the           
Supplement (the Note Purchase Agreement, the               
Supplement, the Memorandum and such documents, certificates or other writings
and such financial statements being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure
Documents”), 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 Disclosure Documents, since                         ,
there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or
properties of the Parent 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
Parent or the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure
Documents.

Section 5.4.                                   Organization and
Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.  (a) Schedule 5.4 to the             
Supplement contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of
(i) the Parent’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 Parent and each other Subsidiary, (ii) the Parent’s
Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and (iii) the Parent’s directors and
senior officers.

 7
 

Section 5.13.                               Private Offering by
the Company.  None of the Parent, the
Company or anyone acting on their behalf has offered the Series     
Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any
of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof
with, any Person other than the Purchasers and not more than [  ]
other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Series             
Notes at a private sale for investment. 
None of the Parent, the Company or anyone acting on their behalf has
taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the
Series        Notes to the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration
requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

Section 5.14.                             Use of Proceeds; Margin
Regulations.  Net proceeds from the
sale of the Series             
Notes will be used for                               
and for general corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds from the sale of
the Series             
Notes pursuant to the           
Supplement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or
carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of
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 to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board
(12 CFR 220).  Margin stock does not
constitute more than 1% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Parent
and its Subsidiaries and the Parent does not have any present intention that
margin stock will constitute more than 1% of the value of such assets.  As used in this Section, the terms “margin
stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to
them in said Regulation U.

Section 5.15.                             Existing Debt; Future
Liens.  (a) Except as described
therein, Schedule 5.15 to the             
Supplement sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding
Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of [                  ]
(including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount
outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and guaranty thereof, if any),
since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest
rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of
the Parent or its Subsidiaries.  Neither
the Parent nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is
currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any
Indebtedness of the Parent or any Subsidiary and no event or condition exists
with respect to any Indebtedness of the Parent or any Subsidiary that would
permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or
more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its
stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

WHEREAS,
the Guarantor desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty to satisfy the

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other benefits to the

circumstance whatsoever.  If for any
reason whatsoever the Company shall fail or be unable duly, punctually and
fully to pay such amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable,
the Guarantor, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, will
forthwith pay or cause to be paid such amounts to the Holders under the terms
of such Note Documents, in lawful money of the United States, at the place
specified in the Note Purchase Agreement, or perform or comply with the same or
cause the same to be performed or complied with, together with interest (to the
extent provided for under such Note Documents) on any amount due and owing from
the Company.  The Guarantor, promptly
after demand, will pay to the Holders the reasonable costs and expenses of
collecting such amounts or otherwise enforcing this Guaranty, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.

SECTION

unconditional obligations of the Guarantor, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment,

or any other person may have against the Company or any other person, and to
the full extent permitted by applicable law shall remain in full force and
effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way
affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not the
Guarantor or the Company shall have any knowledge or notice thereof),
including:

trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding;

(g)           any discharge,
termination, cancellation, frustration, irregularity, invalidity or
unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any of the Note Documents or any
other agreement or instrument referred to in paragraph (a) above or any term
hereof;

(h)           any merger or
consolidation of the Company or the Guarantor into or with any other

or the Guarantor to any other person;

(i)            any change in the
ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any change in the
corporate relationship between the Company and the Guarantor, or any
termination of such relationship;

(j)            any release or
discharge, by operation of law, of any other guarantor from the performance or
observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in any other
guarantee of the Note Documents or the Obligations; or

(k)           any other occurrence,
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to
the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the
liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse
against the Guarantor.

SECTION
4.           Full
Recourse Obligations.  The
obligations of the Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse
obligations of the Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all
its assets and properties.

 3
 

SECTION
5.           Waiver.  The Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, (a) notice of any of the matters
referred to in Section 3, (b) notice to the Guarantor of the incurrence of
any of the Obligations, notice to the Guarantor or the Company of any breach or
default by the Company with respect to any of the Obligations or any other
notice that may be required, by statute, rule of law or otherwise, to preserve
any rights of the Holders against the Guarantor, (c) presentment to or
demand of payment from the Company or the Guarantor with respect to any amount
due under any Note Document or protest for nonpayment or dishonor, (d) any
right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by any of the Holders of any
right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in the Note Purchase Agreement or
any other Note Document or otherwise, (e) any requirement of diligence on
the part of any of the Holders, (f) any requirement to exhaust any
remedies or to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under any Note
Document, (g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by any
of the Holders of any right, title to or interest in the Note Purchase
Agreement or in any other Note Document and (h) any other circumstance
whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge,
release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit
recourse against the Guarantor.

SECTION
6.           Subrogation,
Contribution, Reimbursement or Indemnity. 
Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been paid in full,
the Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any rights which may
have arisen in connection with this Guaranty to be subrogated to any of the
rights (whether contractual, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as
amended, including section 509 thereof, under common law or otherwise) of any
of the Holders against the Company or against any collateral security or
guaranty or right of offset held by the Holders for the payment of the
Obligations. Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been paid in
full, the Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any contractual,
common law, statutory or other rights of reimbursement, contribution,
exoneration or indemnity (or any similar right) from or against the Company
which may have arisen in connection with this Guaranty.  So long as the Obligations remain, if any
amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Company to the Guarantor on account
of any of the rights waived in this paragraph, such amount shall be held by the
Guarantor in trust, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Holders (duly
endorsed by the Guarantor to the Holders, if required), to be applied against
the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Holders may
determine.  The provisions of this paragraph
shall survive the term of this Guaranty and the payment in full of the
Obligations.

SECTION
7.           Effect
of Bankruptcy Proceedings, etc.  This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums
due to any of the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement
or any other Note Document is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by the Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other person, or upon or as
a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer
with similar powers with respect to the Company or other person or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made.  If an event permitting
the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at 

 4
 

any time have
occurred and be continuing, and such acceleration shall at such time be
prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other person of
a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Guarantor agrees
that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the maturity
of the principal amount of the Notes and all other Obligations shall be deemed
to have been accelerated with the same effect as if any Holder had accelerated
the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement or other
applicable Note Document, and the Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal
amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, LIBOR Breakage Amount, if any, and interest
thereon and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or
demand.

SECTION
8.           Term
of Agreement.  This Guaranty and all
guaranties, covenants and agreements of the Guarantor contained herein shall
continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time
as all of the Obligations shall be paid and performed in full and all of the agreements
of the Guarantor hereunder shall be duly paid and performed in full.

SECTION 9.           Notices.  All notices and communications provided for
hereunder shall be in writing and sent 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 by registered or certified mail with return
receipt requested (postage prepaid), or by a recognized overnight delivery
service (with charges prepaid) (a) if to the Company or any Holder at the
address set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement or (b) if to the
Guarantor, in care of the Company at the Company’s address set forth in the
Note Purchase Agreement, or in each case at such other address as the Company,
any Holder or such Guarantor shall from time to time designate in writing to
the other parties.  Any notice so
addressed shall be deemed to be given when actually received.

SECTION
10.         Survival.  All warranties, representations and covenants
made by the Guarantor herein or in any certificate or other instrument
delivered by it or on its behalf hereunder shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the Holders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Guaranty, regardless of any investigation made by any of the Holders.  All statements in any such certificate or
other instrument shall constitute warranties and representations by such
Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION
11.         Jurisdiction
and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)           The Guarantor
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or
federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Parent
Guaranty, the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of
motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have
to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 5
 

(b)           The Guarantor agrees,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any
suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 11(a)
brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to
rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the
United States of America (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it
or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c)           The Guarantor consents
to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit,
action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 11(a) by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar
form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivering a copy
thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in Section 9, to
it.  The Guarantor agrees that such
service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of
process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid
personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Notices hereunder shall be conclusively
presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United
States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d)           Nothing in this
Section 11 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process
in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of
the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of
any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment
obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e)           THE GUARANTOR WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT
EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

SECTION
12.         Miscellaneous.  Any provision of this Guaranty 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 not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law that renders any provisions
hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.  The terms of this Guaranty shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Guarantor and the Holders and their
respective successors and assigns.  No
term or provision of this Guaranty may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Guarantor
and the Required Holders.  The section
and paragraph headings in this Guaranty and the table of contents are for
convenience of reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any
of the terms or provisions hereof, and all references herein to numbered
sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections in this Guaranty.  This Guaranty shall in all respects be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York excluding choice-of-law principles of the 

 6
 

law of such State
that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than
such State.

the part of the Company, have been duly executed and delivered by an authorized
officer of the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements
of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the
extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or similar laws of general
application relating to or affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors
or by equitable principles, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

3.                                       The
Agreement and the Parent Guaranty have been duly authorized by proper corporate

any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Agreement, the
Parent Guaranty and the Notes in any federal court sitting in the State of
Arkansas or any Arkansas state court, such court would recognize and give
effect to the governing law provisions of such documents choosing the laws of
the State of New York, except that matters concerning the enforcement of
remedies against personal property located in Arkansas shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Arkansas.

5.                                       Based on the representations set forth in the

qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended.

6.                                       No

issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company, the performance of the terms and
conditions of the Notes and the Agreement by
the Company and the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the
Company do not conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of any of
the provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on, the property of the Company pursuant to the
provisions of (i) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the
Company, (ii) any loan agreement known to such counsel to which the Company is
a party or by which the Company or its property is bound, (iii) any other

Subsidiary is (i) a “public utility” as defined in the Federal
Power Act, as amended, or (ii) an “investment company” or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

10.                                 Based on the representations set forth in the
Agreement, the issuance of the Notes and the intended use of the
proceeds of the sale of the Notes do not violate or conflict with Regulation U,

upon the representations set forth in the Agreement, the offering, sale and
delivery of the Notes and the execution and delivery of the Parent Guaranty do
not require the registration of the Notes or the Parent Guaranty under the

the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) dated as of [        ],
200[ ] is made by each of the undersigned (each being a “Guarantor”), in favor
of the holders from time to time of the Notes hereinafter referred to and their
respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Holders” and each
individually, a “Holder”).

W  I  T  N  E  S
S  E  T  H:

WHEREAS, J.B. HUNT TRANSPORT, INC., a Georgia
corporation (the “Company”), J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., an Arkansas
corporation, and the initial Holders have entered into a Master Note Purchase
Agreement dated as of July 15, 2007 (the Master Note Purchase Agreement as
amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in
accordance with its terms and in effect, the “Note Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Note Purchase Agreement contemplates the
issuance by the Company of Notes (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) in
one or more series and tranches, up to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal
amount;

WHEREAS, the Company directly or indirectly owns all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Guarantor and, by virtue of
such ownership and otherwise, such Guarantor has derived or will derive
substantial benefits from the purchase by the Holders of the Company’s Notes;

WHEREAS, it is a requirement of the Note Purchase
Agreement that each Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty to the Holders;
and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor desires to execute and deliver
this Guaranty to satisfy the requirement described in the preceding paragraph;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
other benefits to each Guarantor, and of the purchase of the Company’s Notes by
the Holders, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are acknowledged, each Guarantor makes this Guaranty as
follows:

SECTION
1            Definitions.  Any capitalized terms not otherwise herein
defined shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Note Purchase
Agreement.

SECTION
2            Guaranty.  Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with
each other Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holders
the due, prompt and complete payment by the Company of the principal of,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, LIBOR Breakage Amount, if any, and interest on (including interest accruing or becoming
owing subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding involving the Company), and each other amount due
under, the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, when and as the same shall
become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or 

 1
 

by required or
optional prepayment or by declaration or otherwise) in accordance with the
terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement (the Notes and the Note
Purchase Agreement being sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Note
Documents” and the amounts payable by the Company under the Note Documents
(including any attorneys’ fees and expenses), being sometimes collectively
hereinafter referred to as the “Obligations”). 
This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not just of collectibility
and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the
Company or upon any other event, contingency or circumstance whatsoever.  If for any reason whatsoever the Company
shall fail or be unable duly, punctually and fully to pay such amounts as and
when the same shall become due and payable, each Guarantor, without demand,
presentment, notice of
acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, protest or notice of any
kind, will forthwith pay or cause to be paid such amounts to the Holders under
the terms of such Note Documents, in lawful money of the United States, at the
place specified in the Note Purchase Agreement, or perform or comply with the
same or cause the same to be performed or complied with, together with interest
(to the extent provided for under such Note Documents) on any amount due and
owing from the Company.  Each Guarantor,
promptly after demand, will pay to the Holders the reasonable costs and
expenses of collecting such amounts or otherwise enforcing this Guaranty,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Guaranty is limited to
the extent it is judicially determined with respect to any Guarantor that
entering into this Guaranty would violate Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law, in which case
such Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty only for amounts aggregating
up to the largest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law.

SECTION
3.           Guarantor’s
Obligations Unconditional.  The
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute
and unconditional obligations of each Guarantor, shall not be subject to any
counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment,
suspension, deferment, reduction or defense based upon any claim each Guarantor
or any other Person may have against the Company or any other Person, and to
the full extent permitted by applicable law shall remain in full force and
effect without regard to, and except as provided in Section 9.7(b) of the Note
Purchase Agreement, shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected
by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not each Guarantor or
the Company shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including:

amendment or modification of or deletion from or addition or supplement to or
other change in any of the Note Documents or any other instrument or agreement

including, without limitation, failure to give notice to any Guarantor of the
occurrence of a “Default” or an “Event of Default” under any Note Document;

payment, performance or observance of any of the obligations, conditions,
covenants or agreements contained in any Note Document, or any other waiver,
consent, extension, indulgence, compromise, settlement, release or other action
or inaction under or in respect of any of the Note Documents or any other
instrument or agreement referred to in paragraph (a) above or any obligation or
liability of the Company, or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege under or in respect of any such instrument or agreement or
any such obligation or liability;

or delay on the part of any of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any

or to any other Person or any of their respective properties or creditors, or
any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such

other agreement or instrument referred to in paragraph (a) above or any term
hereof;

consolidation of the Company or any Guarantor into or with any other

or any Guarantor to any other Person;

(i)            any change in the
ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any change in the

(j)            any release or
discharge, by operation of law, of any Guarantor from the performance or

or

(k)           any other occurrence,

Guarantor.

SECTION
4.           Full
Recourse Obligations.  The
obligations of each Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse
obligations of such Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all
its assets and properties.

SECTION
5.           Waiver.  Each Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, (a) notice of any of the matters
referred to in Section 3, (b) notice to such Guarantor of the incurrence
of any of the Obligations, notice to such Guarantor or the Company of any
breach or default by such Company with respect to any of the Obligations or any
other notice that may be required, by statute, rule of law or otherwise, to
preserve any rights of the Holders against such Guarantor, (c) presentment
to, notice of acceleration of, notice
of intent to accelerate or demand of payment from the Company or the
Guarantor with respect to any amount due under any Note Document or protest for
nonpayment or dishonor, (d) any right to the enforcement, assertion or
exercise by any of the Holders of any right, power, privilege or remedy
conferred in the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document or
otherwise, (e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any of the
Holders, (f) any requirement to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate the
damages resulting from any default under any Note Document, (g) any notice
of any sale, transfer or other disposition by any of the Holders of any right,
title to or interest in the Note Purchase Agreement or in any other Note
Document and (h) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or
surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against such Guarantor.

SECTION
6.           Subrogation,
Contribution, Reimbursement or Indemnity. 
Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full, each Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any
rights which may have arisen in connection with this Guaranty to be subrogated
to any of the rights (whether contractual, under the United States Bankruptcy
Code, as amended, including Section 509 thereof, under common law or otherwise)
of any of the Holders against the Company or against any collateral security or
guaranty or right of offset held by the Holders for the payment of the
Obligations. Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor agrees not to take any action
pursuant to any contractual, common law, statutory or other rights of
reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or indemnity (or any similar right)
from or against the Company which may have arisen in connection with this
Guaranty.  So long as the Obligations
remain, if any amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Company to any
Guarantor on account of any of the rights waived in this paragraph, such amount
shall be held by such Guarantor in trust, segregated from other funds of such
Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over
to the Holders (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Holders, if required),
to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such
order as the Holders may determine.  The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the term of this Guaranty and the
payment in full of the Obligations.

SECTION
7.           Effect
of Bankruptcy Proceedings, etc.  This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums
due to any of the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement
or any other Note Document is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned 

 4
 

by such Holder
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of
the Company or any other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect
to the Company or other person or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.  If an event permitting the acceleration of
the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have
occurred and be continuing and
one or more Holders shall have attempted to accelerate the maturity of the
principal amount of the Notes pursuant to and in compliance with Section 12.1
of the Note Purchase Agreement, or an event shall have occurred that pursuant
to Section 12.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement purportedly results in the
automatic acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes,
and in either such case such acceleration shall at such time be
prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other Person of
a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor
agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the
maturity of the principal amount of the Notes and all other Obligations shall be
deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if any Holder had
accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase
Agreement or other applicable Note Document, and such Guarantor shall forthwith
pay such principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, LIBOR Breakage Amount, if
any, and interest thereon and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without
further notice or demand.

SECTION
8.           Term
of Agreement.  Subject to Section
9.7(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty and all guaranties,
covenants and agreements of each Guarantor contained herein shall continue in
full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the
Obligations shall be irrevocably paid and performed in full in cash and all of the
agreements of such Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocably duly paid and
performed in full in cash.

constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable

the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable
principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law);

 5
 

(d)           the execution, delivery
and performance of this Guaranty will not violate any provision of any
requirement of law or material contractual obligation of such Guarantor and,

assets of the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of any material contractual
obligation of such Guarantor or any requirement of law;

(e)           except as provided in

or of any securities issued by such Guarantor; and

(h)           after giving effect to

equivalent value for executing and delivering this Guaranty, (iii) the
property remaining in the hands of such Guarantor is not an unreasonably small

federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, 

 6
 

the Agreement or the Notes.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, each Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of
motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have
to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)           Each Guarantor agrees,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any
suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 11(a)
brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to
rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the
United States of America (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it
or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c)           Each Guarantor consents
to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding solely of the nature
referred to in Section 11(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified or priority mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or
delivering a copy thereof in the manner for delivery of notices specified in
Section 10, to it.  Each Guarantor agrees
that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective
service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii)
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to
be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Notices hereunder shall be conclusively
presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United
States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

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

(e)           EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

SECTION
12.         Miscellaneous.  Any provision of this Guaranty which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
each Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law that renders any provisions
hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.  The terms of this Guaranty shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, each Guarantor and the Holders and their

form of Exhibit A  

 7
 

attached hereto
and delivering the same to the Holders. 
Any such Person shall thereafter be a “Guarantor” for all purposes under
this Guaranty.  No term or provision of
this Guaranty may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only
by an instrument in writing signed by each Guarantor and the Holders; provided,
however, that a Guarantor may be fully released and discharged from this
Guaranty pursuant to the terms of Section 9.7(b) of the Note Purchase
Agreement.  The section and paragraph
headings in this Guaranty and the table of contents are for convenience of
reference only and shall not modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms
or provisions hereof, and all references herein to numbered sections, unless

governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New
York, including all matters of construction, validity and performance.

LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES I

WEDDING CAKE CRUDE OIL-LINKED NOTE
 DUE JULY 28, 2008

This
Note is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter
referred to and is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the
Depository.  Unless this certificate is
presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company (55
Water Street, New York, New York) to the Company (as defined below) or its
agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as
requested by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company and
any payment is made to Cede & Co., any transfer, pledge or other use hereof
for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful since the registered
owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

Unless
and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in certificated form (a
“Certificated Note”), this Global Security may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the
Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the
Depository or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such
successor depository.

LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS
INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, on
the Maturity Date, an amount
equal to the Redemption Amount.

The
“Maturity Date” is July 28, 2008, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the
next following Business Day.

The “Redemption Amount”
is the amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Notes plus the
Supplemental Redemption Amount, if any.

The “Supplemental
Redemption Amount” is a single U.S. Dollar payment calculated by the
Calculation Agent equal to the principal amount of the Notes multiplied by:

(A) 11.00%, if Crude OilREF is strictly within the First Barrier Range on
each Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period;

(B) 7.00%, if Crude OilREF is outside the First Barrier Range on any
Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period, but strictly within the
Second Barrier Range on each Exchange Business Day during the Observation
Period;

(C) 4.0%, if Crude OilREF is outside the First Barrier Range and the
Second Barrier Range on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation
Period, but strictly within the Third Barrier Range on each Exchange Business
Day during the Observation Period; or

(D) 1.50%, if Crude OilREF is outside the First Barrier Range, the Second
Barrier and the Third Barrier Range on any Exchange Business Day during the
Observation Period.

The “Observation Period”
is the period from and including the Trade Date to and including the Valuation
Date.

The “Trade Date” is July
19, 2007.

The “Issue Date” is July
26, 2007.

The “Valuation Date” is
July 21, 2008.

“Crude
OilREF” is, for any Exchange Business Day within
the Observation Period, the Crude Oil Price on such Exchange Business Day.

“Crude
Oil” is light sweet crude oil.

The
“Crude Oil Price” is the official settlement price of the Crude Oil Contract,
expressed as the U.S. dollar price per barrel of Crude Oil, as made public by the
Relevant Exchange (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption Event).

 2
 

The
“Crude Oil Contract” is the first nearby month futures contract (or, in the
case of the last trading day of the first nearby month contract, the second
nearby month contract) for Crude Oil traded on the Relevant Exchange.

For each “Barrier Range,” from (but not including) the
Lower Barrier to (but not including) the Upper Barrier as follows:

	
  Barrier Range

  	
   

  	
  Lower Barrier

  	
   

  	
  Upper Barrier

  
	
  First

  	
   

  	
  $63.0136 (equal
  to Crude Oil Strike * 83.0%)

  	
   

  	
  $88.8264 (equal to Crude Oil Strike * 117.0%)

  
	
  Second

  	
   

  	
  $60.7360 (equal
  to Crude Oil Strike * 80.0%)

  	
   

  	
  $91.1040 (equal to Crude Oil Strike * 120.0%)

  
	
  Third

  	
   

  	
  $56.9400 (equal
  to Crude Oil Strike * 75.0%)

  	
   

  	
  $94.9000 (equal to Crude Oil Strike * 125.0%)

  

 

The “Crude Oil Strike” is $75.92, equal to the Crude Oil
Price on the Trade Date.

The “Relevant Exchange” is the NYMEX Division, or its
successor, of the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., or its successor; or, if
NYMEX is no longer the principal exchange or trading market for Crude Oil
options or futures contracts, such other exchange or principal trading market
for Crude Oil as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent which serves
as the source of prices for Crude Oil, and any principal exchanges where
options or futures contracts on Crude Oil are traded.

An “Exchange Business Day” is a day, as determined by the
Calculation Agent, on which the Relevant Exchange is scheduled to be (or, but
for the occurrence of a Disruption Event, would have been) open for trading
during its regular trading session (notwithstanding the Relevant Exchange
closing prior to its scheduled closing time).

If a Disruption Event identified in clauses (A), (B) or (C)
below is in effect on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period
to but excluding the earlier of the earlier of (i) the Valuation Date and (ii)
the Exchange Business Day on which Crude OilREF was first outside the Third Barrier Range, the
Crude Oil Price for such Exchange Business Day will be the Crude Oil Price on
the immediately preceding Exchange Business Day on which such Disruption Event
was not in effect; provided that, if the Disruption Event is continuing for any
consecutive period of five or more Exchange Business Days (measured from and
including the first Exchange Business Day on which the Disruption Event was in
effect), the Calculation Agent will determine the Crude Oil Price on the sixth
consecutive Exchange Business Day, and for each consecutive Exchange Business Day
thereafter, in its sole and absolute discretion taking into account the latest
available quotation for the Crude Oil Price, and any other information that in
good faith it deems relevant.

If a Disruption Event identified in clauses (D) or (E)
below is in effect on any Exchange Business Day during the Observation Period
to but excluding the earlier of the earlier of (i) the Valuation Date and (ii)
the Exchange Business Day on which Crude OilREF was first outside the Third Barrier Range, the
Calculation Agent will determine Crude OilREF applicable to

 3
 

such
Exchange Business Day in its sole and absolute discretion taking into account
the latest available quotation for the Crude Oil Price and any other
information that in good faith it deems relevant.

A “Disruption Event” means any of the following events as
determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:

(A)          the
suspension of or material limitation on trading in the Crude Oil Contract or
Crude Oil, or futures contracts or options related to the Crude Oil Contract or
Crude Oil, on the Relevant Exchange;

(B)           either
(i) the failure of trading to commence, or permanent discontinuance of trading,
in the Crude Oil Contract or Crude Oil, or futures contracts or options related
to the Crude Oil Contract or Crude Oil, on the Relevant Exchange, or (ii) the
disappearance of, or of trading in, Crude Oil;

(C)           the
failure of the Relevant Exchange to publish the official daily settlement price
for that day for the Crude Oil Contract (or the information necessary for determining
the settlement price);

(D)          the
occurrence since the Trade Date of a material change in the content,
composition, or constitution of Crude Oil or the Crude Oil Contract; or

(E)           the
occurrence since the Trade Date of a material change in the formula for or the
method of calculating the settlement price of the Crude Oil Contract.

For the purpose of determining whether a Disruption Event
has occurred:

(1)           a
limitation on the hours in a trading day and/or number of days of trading will
not constitute a Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the
regular business hours of the Relevant Exchange;

(2)           a
suspension in trading on the Relevant Exchange (without taking into account any
extended or after-hours trading session), in the Crude Oil Contract, by reason
of a price change reflecting the maximum permitted price change from the
previous trading day’s settlement price will constitute a Disruption Event; and

(3)           a
suspension of or material limitation on trading on the Relevant Exchange will not
include any time when the Relevant Exchange is closed for trading under
ordinary circumstances.

A “Business
Day”, notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture, is any day that is not is
not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in
New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law or executive order
to be closed.

The “Calculation
Agent” means Lehman Brothers Commodity Services Inc.

 4
 

Except as provided below,
the Redemption Amount may, at the option of the Company, be made by check
mailed to the person entitled thereto at such person’s address as it appears on
the registry books of the Company.

Payment of any Redemption
Amount will be made in immediately available funds in accordance with the
normal procedures of the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent).

The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately
available funds, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon
payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be

MEDIUM-TERM NOTES,
SERIES I

WEDDING CAKE CRUDE OIL-LINKED NOTE
 DUE JULY 28, 2008

Section
1.  General.  This Note
is one of a duly authorized series of Notes of the Company designated as the
Medium-Term Notes, Series I, Wedding Cake Crude Oil-Linked Note (herein called
the “Notes”).  The Notes are one of an indefinite
number of series of debt securities of the Company (collectively, the “Securities”)
issued or issuable under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 1,
1987, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), duly executed and
delivered by the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of
the Securities.  The separate series of
Securities may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject
to different redemption provisions or repurchase rights (if any), may be
subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be
subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as
in the Indenture provided.

Section
2.  Principal Amount for Indenture Purposes.  For the purpose of determining whether
Holders of the requisite amount of Notes of this series outstanding under the
Indenture have made a demand, given a notice or waiver or taken any other
action, the principal amount of this Note will be deemed to be the principal
amount of this Note then outstanding.

Section
3.  Modification and Waivers. 
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of each series of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be
affected, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or
modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of all such
series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among
other things, (i) change the fixed maturity of any Security, or reduce the
Redemption Amount or the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium or other amount
payable on redemption, or make the Redemption Amount or the principal amount
thereof, premium or other amount payable, if any, or interest thereon payable
in any coin or currency other than that herein above provided, without the
consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change the place of
payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on
any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of
which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the
consent of the holders of each Security so affected.  It is also provided in the Indenture that,
prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of Securities,
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series

Outstanding may on
behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past
default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and
its consequences, except a default in the payment of interest, if any, on the
Redemption Amount or the principal amount, or premium, if any, on any of the
Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or
analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
holders and owners of this Note and any Notes of this series which may be issued
in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any
notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes of this series.

Section
4.  Obligations Unconditional. 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the Supplemental Redemption Amount or the
principal amount on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the
rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

Section
5.  Defeasance.  The
Indenture contains provisions for the discharge of the Indenture and defeasance
at any time of the indebtedness on this Note upon compliance by the Company
with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

Section
6.  Authorized Form and Denominations.  The Notes of this series are issuable in
registered form, without coupons.  Each
Note will be issued initially as either a Global Security or a Certificated
Note, at the option of the Company, in denominations of $1,000 or whole
multiples of $1,000, either at the office or agency to be designated and
maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New
York City, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture or at any of such other
offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such
purpose pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, and in the manner and
subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment
of any service charge, except for any tax or other governmental charges imposed
in connection therewith.  Notes of this
series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this
series of a different authorized denomination, except that Global Securities
will not be exchangeable for Certificated Notes of this series.

Section
7.  Registration of Transfer. 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations as
therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the
Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this Note, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Company and the Security Registrar requiring such written instrument of
transfer duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.

If at
any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depository or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be
eligible under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor
Depository.  If a successor Depository
for the Notes of this series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days
after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility,
the Company will issue, and the Trustee will

authenticate and
deliver, Notes of this series in definitive form in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of this Note.

No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

Prior
to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in
whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section
8.  Events of Default.  
If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur
and be continuing, the amount that may be declared due and payable upon any
acceleration of the notes will be determined by the Calculation Agent for the
period from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the date of early
repayment and will equal, for each note, the Supplemental Redemption Amount,
calculated as the date of early repayment were the Maturity Date. If a
bankruptcy proceeding is commenced in respect of the Company, the claim of the
beneficial owner of a note for the period from and including the Issue Date to
but excluding the date of early repayment will be capped at the Supplemental
Redemption Amount, calculated as though the date of the commencement of the
proceeding were the Maturity Date.

Section
9.  No Recourse Against Certain Persons.  No recourse for the payment of the Redemption
Amount or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no
recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in
the Indenture or any Indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because
of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

Section
10.  Defined Terms.  All
terms used but not defined in this Note are used herein as defined in the
Indenture.

Section
11.  GOVERNING LAW. 
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
