    (c)           No

    3.  Representations, Warranties
and Covenants of Guarantor.

     

    (a)           The
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof:

     

    (i)           Existence.  Guarantor
(a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Maryland, (b) has all requisite corporate or
other power, and has all governmental licenses, 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    authorizations,
consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as
now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is qualified to do business and is
in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business
conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to
qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate)
to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance in all material
respects with all Requirements of Law.

     

    (ii)           Financial
Condition.  Guarantor has heretofore furnished to Buyer and the
Purchasers a copy of its (A) consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income and
retained earnings and of cash flows for such fiscal year, setting forth in each
case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with the opinion
thereon of a nationally recognized public accounting firm and (2) consolidated
balance sheet for the quarterly fiscal period(s) ended March 31, 2008 and the
related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash
flows for it for such quarterly fiscal period(s), setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the previous year.  All such
financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects and
fairly present the consolidated financial condition of Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal
year ended on said date, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis.  Since December 31, 2007 there has been no development or event
nor any prospective development or event, including the developments and events
disclosed in (A) the public filings made by Guarantor with the Securities and
Exchange Commission since December 31, 2007 and (B) the diligence materials
previously provided to Buyer or the applicable Purchaser by Seller and
Guarantor, which has had or should reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     

    (iii)           Representations and
Warranties Incorporated by Reference.  Each of the
representations and warranties made by Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower (as
such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) set forth in Section 3
of the Revolving Credit Agreement are true and correct and Guarantor hereby
makes each such representation and warranty to, and for the benefit of, Buyer
and the Purchasers as if the same were set forth herein in full.

     

    (b)           The
Guarantor covenants and agrees with Buyer and each Purchaser that until payment
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations:

     

    (i)           Financial
Statements and Other Information; Financial Covenants.

    Guarantor
shall deliver to Buyer and each Purchaser:

     

    (A)  As soon
as available and in any event within 60 days after the end of each of the first
three quarterly fiscal periods of each fiscal year of Guarantor, a certification
in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the Repurchase Agreement together with the
consolidated balance sheets of Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at
the end of such period and the related unaudited consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Guarantor and the
consolidated Subsidiaries of Guarantor for such period and the portion of the
fiscal year through the end of such period, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the previous year, accompanied by a certificate
of a Responsible Officer of Guarantor, which certificate shall state that said
consolidated financial statements fairly present the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of Guarantor and the Subsidiaries of
Guarantor in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, as at the end of, and
for, such period (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments);

     

    (B)  As soon
as available and in any event within 100 days after the end of each fiscal year
of Guarantor, the consolidated balance sheets of Guarantor and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated
statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Guarantor and
its consolidated Subsidiaries for such year, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the figures for the previous year, accompanied by an opinion
thereon of independent certified public accountants of recognized national
standing, which opinion shall not be qualified as to scope of audit or going
concern and shall state that said consolidated financial statements fairly
present the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of
Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries at the end of, and for, such fiscal
year in accordance with GAAP;

     

    (C)  From time
to time such other information regarding the financial condition, operations, or
business of Guarantor as Buyer or the Purchasers may reasonably request;
and

     

    (D)  Guarantor
will furnish to Buyer and each Purchaser, at the time it furnishes each set of
financial statements pursuant to paragraphs (A) or (B) above, a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of Guarantor to the effect that, to the
best of such Responsible Officer’s knowledge, Guarantor during such fiscal
period or year has observed or performed all of its covenants and other
agreements, and satisfied every material condition, contained in this Guaranty
to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and that such Responsible Officer
has obtained no knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Event of
Termination except as specified in such certificate (and, if any Default, Event
of Default or Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, describing
the same in reasonable detail and describing the action Guarantor has taken or
proposes to take with respect thereto).

     

    (ii)           Covenants Incorporated by
Reference.  Guarantor is in compliance with each of the
covenants made by Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower (as such term is defined
in the Revolving Credit Agreement) set forth in Sections 5 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    and 6 of
the Revolving Credit Agreement and Guarantor hereby makes each such covenant to,
and for the benefit of Buyer as if the same were set forth herein in
full.  Guarantor, in its capacity as Borrower (as such term is defined
in the Revolving Credit Agreement) shall not agree to any amendment, supplement
or other modification to the Revolving Credit Agreement without Buyer’s written
consent.

     

    4. 
Right of
Set-off.  The Guarantor
hereby irrevocably authorizes RBS, GCFP and each of their respective Affiliates
at any time and from time to time without notice to the Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all property and
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by RBS, GCFP or any of their respective
Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor or any of its
Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any part thereof in such amounts as RBS, GCFP or
any of their respective Affiliates may elect, against and on account of the
Guaranteed Obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor to RBS or GCFP hereunder
and claims of every nature and description of RBS or GCFP or any of their
respective Affiliates against the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates or
Subsidiaries, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Agreements
or under any other agreement between the parties hereto or between Guarantor or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and RBS, GCFP or any of their respective
Affiliates (other than the Bishop’s Gate Facility and the Chesapeake Facility),
or otherwise, as RBS or GCFP may elect, whether or not RBS or GCFP has made any
demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be
contingent or unmatured.  RBS or GCFP shall notify the Guarantor
promptly of any such set-off and the application made by RBS or GCFP, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.  The rights of RBS and GCFP under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which RBS or GCFP may have.

     

    5. 
No
Subrogation.  Notwithstanding
any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or
application of funds of the Guarantor by RBS or GCFP, the Guarantor shall not be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of RBS and GCFP against the
Seller or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right
of offset held by RBS and GCFP or any of their respective Affiliates for the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Seller or any other
guarantor in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to RBS or GCFP by the Seller on account of the Guaranteed
Obligations are paid in full.  If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be
held by the Guarantor in trust for RBS or GCFP, as applicable, segregated from
other funds of the Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the
Guarantor, be turned over to RBS or GCFP, as applicable, in the exact form
received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Guarantor to RBS or GCFP, as
applicable, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as RBS or GCFP, as applicable, may
determine.

    6. 
Amendments,
Etc. with Respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Guarantor
shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation
of rights against the Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by the
Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by
RBS or GCFP, as applicable, may be rescinded by RBS or GCFP, as applicable, and
any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or
the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by RBS or GCFP, as
applicable, and the Agreements may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as RBS or GCFP may deem advisable from time to
time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held
by RBS or GCFP for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither RBS nor GCFP
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any
time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Guaranty
or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the
Guarantor, RBS and GCFP may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar
demand on the Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by RBS or GCFP to
make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Seller or any such
other guarantor or any release of the Seller or such other guarantor shall not
relieve the Guarantor of its Guaranteed Obligations or liabilities hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or
as a matter of law, of RBS and GCFP against the Guarantor.  For the
purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.  RBS or GCFP may release any Purchased Items
purchased by it in its sole discretion.  The Guarantor hereby further
consents to any renewal or modification of any Guaranteed Obligation or MLPSA
Obligation or any extension of the time within which such is to be performed and
to any other indulgences, whether before or after the date of this Guaranty, and
waives notice with respect thereto.

     

    7. 
Waiver of
Rights.  The Guarantor
waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by RBS or
GCFP, as applicable, upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; the
Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them shall conclusively be deemed to have
been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived,
in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings pursuant to the Agreements
between the Seller and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and RBS or GCFP, on the
other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  The Guarantor waives
diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon the Seller or the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations.  The Guarantor hereby waives diligence; presentment;
demand for payment or performance; filing of claims with any court in case of
the insolvency, reorganization or bankruptcy of the Seller; protest or notice
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or the amounts payable by the Seller
thereunder; and all demands whatsoever; any fact, event or circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the
Guarantor, including (but without typifying or limiting this waiver), failure by
Buyer or the applicable Purchaser to perfect a security interest in any
collateral securing performance of any Guaranteed Obligation or MLPSA Obligation
or to realize the value of any collateral or other assets which may be available
to satisfy any

    Guaranteed
Obligation or MLPSA Obligation and any delay by Buyer or the Purchaser in
exercising any of its rights hereunder or against the Seller.

     

    8. 
Guaranty
Absolute and Unconditional.  The Guarantor
understands and agrees that this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute and unconditional guarantee of the full and punctual payment and
performance by the Seller of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of
collectibility only and in no way conditioned upon any requirement that RBS or
GCFP, as applicable, first attempt to collect any of the obligations from the
Seller without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Agreements, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other collateral security
therefor the Guaranteed Obligations or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by RBS or GCFP, as applicable,
(ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Seller
against RBS or GCFP, as applicable, (iii) any defense by the Seller to the
Guaranteed Obligations or the ownership of RBS or GCFP, as applicable, in the
Participation Certificates or Purchased Items, as applicable, or any
subordination of any Lien on the Participation Certificates or Purchased Items,
as applicable, or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice
to or knowledge of the Seller or the Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Seller from the
Guaranteed Obligations, or of the Guarantor from this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or
in any other instance.  The Guarantor understands and agrees that this
Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional
guarantee without regard to waiver, forbearance, compromise, release,
settlement, the dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or other change
regarding the Seller, or the Seller being the subject of any case or proceeding
under any bankruptcy or other law for the protection of debtors or creditors, or
any other action or matter that would release a guarantor.  When
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, RBS and GCFP,
as applicable, may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and
remedies as it may have against the Seller or any other Person or against any
collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by RBS or GCFP, as applicable, to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Seller
or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Seller
or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall
not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of RBS or GCFP, as applicable, against the
Guarantor.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be
binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor and
the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of RBS, GCFP
and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all
the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall have been satisfied by payment in full and each Agreement shall
be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the
Repurchase Agreement or the MLPSA the Seller may be free from any Guaranteed
Obligations and subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof.

     

    9. 
Reinstatement.  This Guaranty
shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored, or returned by RBS or GCFP upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Seller
or the Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for the Seller or

Event of Default (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement; such Event of
Default, a “Revolver Event of Default”) under the Revolving Credit Agreement

    REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER AND OWNER

     

    

    The
Seller and Owner hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the
Purchaser that:

     

    4.1.           Organization and Good
Standing of the Seller.  The Seller is a limited liability
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation as set forth above. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Seller is not required to be qualified to transact business
in any other jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on the business or operations of the Seller (“Material Adverse
Effect”).

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    4.2.           Authority.

    

    (a)           The
Seller has full power and authority (corporate and otherwise) to carry on its
business and has all permits and licenses that are necessary to the conduct of
its business or to the ownership, lease or operation of its properties and
assets, except where the failure to have such permits and licenses would not
have a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    (b)           The
execution of this Agreement and the delivery hereof to the Purchaser and the
sale contemplated herein have been, or will be prior to Closing, duly authorized
by the Seller’s sole Manager and by the Seller’s sole member having full power
and authority to authorize such actions.

    

    (c)           Subject
to any consents required under Section 4.7 below, the Seller and the Owner have
the full legal right, power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the
terms and provisions of this Agreement; and this Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered on behalf of Seller and the Owner and constitutes
a valid and binding obligation of each of the Seller and the Owner enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

    

    (d)           Except
as set forth in Schedule 4.2, neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor
compliance with the terms of this Agreement will violate, conflict with, result
in a breach of, or constitute a default under any statute, regulation,
indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which
the Seller or the Owner  is a party or by which it or any of them is
bound, any charter, regulation, or bylaw provision of the Seller, or any decree,
order, or rule of any court or governmental authority or arbitrator that is
binding on the Seller or the owner in any way, except where such would not have
a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    4.3.           Ownership and Transfer of
Assets.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3, Seller has good
and marketable title to all of the Assets free and clear of all mortgages,
pledges, security interests, charges, liens, restrictions and encumbrances of
any kind (collectively, “Liens”) whatsoever.  Upon the sale,
assignment, transfer and delivery of the Assets to the Purchaser hereunder and
under the Seller Documents, there will be vested in the Purchaser good,
marketable and indefeasible title to the Assets, free and clear of all
Liens.  The Assets include certain intangible assets and properties
held for use by Seller in connection with the Business as presently
conducted.  All of the intangible assets which Purchaser is acquiring
pursuant to this Agreement comply in all material respects with applicable laws,
ordinances and regulations.

    

    4.4.           Subsidiaries and
Affiliates.  Any and all businesses, entities, enterprises and
organizations in which the Seller has any ownership, voting or profit and loss
sharing percentage interest (the “Subsidiaries”) are identified in Schedule 4.4
hereto, together with the Seller’s interest therein.  Unless the
context requires otherwise or specifically designated to the contrary on
Schedule 4.6 hereto, “Seller” as used in this Agreement shall include all such
Subsidiaries.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, (i) the Seller has
made no advances to, or investments in, nor owns beneficially or of record, any
securities of or other interest in, any business, entity, enterprise or
organization, (ii) there are no arrangements through which the Company has
acquired from, or provided to, the Seller or their affiliates any goods,
properties or services, (iii) there are no rights, privileges or advantages
now enjoyed by the Seller as a result of the ownership of the Company by the
Seller which, to the knowledge of the Owner or the Seller, might be lost as a
result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.  Each entity shown on Schedule 4.4 is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, and has full corporate power to own all of its property and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted.  Also set forth on
Schedule 4.4 is a list of jurisdictions in which each Subsidiary is qualified as
a foreign corporation.  Such jurisdictions are the only jurisdictions
in which the ownership or leasing of property by each Subsidiary or the conduct
of its business requires it to be so qualified.  All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized
and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as set forth
on Schedule 4.4, are owned, of record and beneficially, by the Seller, and on
the Closing Date will be owned by the Seller, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, equities, options or claims whatsoever.  No Subsidiary
has outstanding any other equity securities or securities options, warrants or
rights of any kind that are convertible into equity securities of such
Subsidiary, except as set forth on Schedule 4.4.

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    4.5.           Consents.  Except
as set forth in Schedule 4.5, no consents or approvals of any public body or
authority and no consents or waivers from other parties to leases, licenses,
franchises, permits, indentures, agreements or other instruments are
(i) required for the lawful consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, or (ii) necessary in order that the business currently conducted by
the Seller can be conducted by the Purchaser in the same manner after the
Closing as heretofore conducted by the Seller, nor will the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby result in creating, accelerating or increasing
any liability of the Seller, except where the failure of any of the foregoing
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    4.6.           Financial
Statements.  The Seller has delivered, or will deliver prior to
Closing, to the Purchaser copies of the following financial statements (which
include all notes and schedules attached thereto), all of which are true,
complete and correct, have been prepared from the books and records of the
Seller in accordance with a cash basis method of accounting consistently applied
with past practice and fairly present the financial condition, assets,
liabilities and results of operations of the Seller as of the dates thereof and
for the periods covered thereby:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              the
      compiled balance sheet of the Seller at December 31, 2006 and 2007, and
      the related statements of operations, of the Seller for the period then
      ended and  the compiled balance sheet at April 30, 2008 (such
      statements, , are referred to herein as the “Financial
      Statements.”)

            

    

    

    In such Financial Statements, the
statements of operations do not contain any items of special or nonrecurring
income or any other income not earned in the ordinary course of business except
as set forth in Schedule 4.6, and the financial statements for the interim
periods indicated include all adjustments, which consist of only normal
recurring accruals, necessary for such fair presentation.  There are
no facts, to the best of Seller’s or Owner’s knowledge, that under a cash basis
method of accounting  would alter the information contained in the
foregoing Financial Statements in any material way.

    

    For the purposes hereof, the balance
sheet of the Seller as of April 30, 2008 is referred to as the “Balance Sheet”
and April 30, 2008 is referred to as the “Balance Sheet Date”.

    

    

    4.7.           Records and Books of
Account.  The records and books of account of the Seller
reflect all material items of income and expense and all material assets,
liabilities and accruals, have been, and to the Closing Date will be, regularly
kept and maintained in conformity with a cash basis method of accounting applied
on a consistent basis with preceding years.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
 

    4.8.           Absence of Undisclosed
Liabilities.  Except as and to the extent reflected or reserved
against in the Seller’s Financial Statements or disclosed in Schedule 4.8, there
are no liabilities or obligations of the Seller of any kind whatsoever, whether
accrued, fixed, absolute, contingent, determined or determinable, and including
without limitation (i) liabilities to former, retired or active employees
of the Seller under any pension, health and welfare benefit plan, vacation plan
or other plan of the Seller, (ii) tax liabilities incurred in respect of or
measured by income for any period prior to the close of business on the Balance
Sheet Date, or arising out of transactions entered into, or any state of facts
existing, on or prior to said date, and (iii) contingent liabilities in the
nature of an endorsement, guarantee, indemnity or warranty, and there is no
condition, situation or circumstance existing or which has existed that could
reasonably be expected to result in any liability of the Seller which is of a
nature that would be required to be disclosed on its Financial Statements in
accordance with a cash basis method of accounting, other than liabilities and
contingent liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business since the
Balance Sheet Date consistent with the Seller’s recent customary business
practice, none of which is materially adverse to the Seller.

    

    4.9           Taxes.

    

    (a)           For
purposes of this Agreement, “Tax” or “Taxes” refers to:  (i) any and
all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, assessments and other governmental
charges, duties, impositions and liabilities relating to taxes, including taxes
based upon or measured by gross receipts, income, profits, sales, use and
occupation, and value added, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, withholding,
payroll, recapture, employment, excise and property taxes and escheatment
payments, together with all interest, penalties and additions imposed with
respect to such amounts and any obligations under any agreements or arrangements
with any other person with respect to such amounts and including any liability
for taxes of a predecessor entity; (ii) any liability for the payment of any
amounts of the type described in clause (i) as a result of being or ceasing to
be a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group for any
period (including, without limitation, any liability under Treas. Reg.
Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provision of foreign, state or local
law); and (iii) any liability for the payment of any amounts of the type
described in clause (i) or (ii) as a result of any express or implied obligation
to indemnify any other person or as a result of any obligations under any
agreements or arrangements with any other person with respect to such amounts
and including any liability for taxes of a predecessor entity.

    

    (b)           (i)           The
Seller has timely filed all federal, state, local and foreign returns,
estimates, information statements and reports (“Returns”) relating to Taxes
required to be filed by the Seller with any Tax authority effective through the
Closing Date, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.9 hereto.  All such
Returns are true, correct and complete in all respects, except for immaterial
amounts where such would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  The
Seller has paid all Taxes shown to be due on such Returns.  Except as
listed on Schedule 4.9 hereto, the Seller is not currently the beneficiary of
any extensions of time within which to file any Returns. The Owner and the
Seller have furnished and made available to the Purchaser complete and accurate
copies of all income and other Tax Returns and any amendments thereto filed by
the Seller in the last three (3) years.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (ii) The
Seller, as of the Closing Date, will have withheld and accrued or paid to the
proper authority all Taxes required to have been withheld and accrued or paid,
except for immaterial amounts where such would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.9 hereto.

    

    (iii) The
Seller has not been delinquent in the payment of any Tax nor is there any Tax
deficiency outstanding or assessed against the Seller, except as disclosed on
Schedule 4.9 hereto.  The Seller has not executed any unexpired waiver
of any statute of limitations on or extending the period for the assessment or
collection of any Tax.

    

    (iv) Except as
disclosed on Schedule 4.9 hereto, there is no dispute, claim, or proposed
adjustment concerning any Tax liability of the Seller either (A) claimed or
raised by any Tax authority in writing or (B)  based upon personal contact
with any agent of such Tax authority, and there is no claim for assessment,
deficiency, or collection of Taxes, or proposed assessment, deficiency or
collection from the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority
against the Seller which has not been satisfied.  Except as disclosed
on Schedule 4.9 hereto, the Seller is not a party to nor has it been notified in
writing that it is the subject of any pending, proposed, or threatened action,
investigation, proceeding, audit, claim or assessment by or before the Internal
Revenue Service or any other governmental authority, nor does the Seller have
any reason to believe that any such notice will be received in the future.
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, neither the Internal Revenue Service nor
any state or local taxation authority has ever audited any income tax return of
the Seller.  The Seller has not filed any requests for rulings with
the Internal Revenue Service.  Except as provided to the Seller’s
accountants, no power of attorney has been granted by the Seller or its
Affiliates with respect to any matter relating to Taxes of the
Seller.  There are no Tax liens of any kind upon any property or
assets of the Seller, except for inchoate liens for Taxes not yet due and
payable.

    

    (v) Except as
disclosed on Schedule 4.9 hereto and except for immaterial amounts which would
not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Seller has no liability for any unpaid
Taxes which has not been paid or accrued for or reserved on the Financial
Statements in accordance with a cash basis method of accounting, whether
asserted or unasserted, contingent or otherwise.

    

    (vi) There is
no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to which the Seller is a party as of
the date of this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions of this
Agreement, covering any employee or former employee of the Seller that,
individually or collectively, would reasonably be expected to give rise to the
payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to
Sections 280G, 404 or 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement to

    (vii) The
Seller has not filed any consent agreement under Section 341(f) of the Code
or agreed to have Section 341(f)(2) of the Code apply to any disposition of a
subsection (f) asset (as defined in Section 341(f)(4) of the Code) owned by the

    (x) With
regard to the tax liability disclosed on Schedule 4.9 hereto, the liability is
attributable to a former owner of Seller.  Seller agrees to enter into
an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.9(x ), and escrow a
portion of the Purchase Price sufficient to cover the liability.

    4.10.                      Accounts
Receivable.  The accounts receivable of the Seller shown on the
Balance Sheet Date, and those to be shown in the Financial Statements, were, as
of the Balance Sheet Date, actual bona fide receivables from transactions in the
ordinary course of business representing valid and binding obligations of others
for the total dollar amount shown thereon, and as of the Balance Sheet Date were
not (and presently are not) subject to any recoupments, set-offs, or
counterclaims. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth on
Schedule 4.10, all such accounts receivable are, and will be collectible in
amounts not less than the amounts (net of reserves) carried on the books of the
Seller, including the  Financial Statements, and will be paid in
accordance with their terms.  Except as listed on Schedule 4.10
hereto, all such accounts receivable were, as of the Balance Sheet
Date,  actual bona fide receivables from transactions in the ordinary
course of business.

    

    4.11.                      Inventory.  The
inventories of the Seller are located at the locations listed on Schedule 4.11
attached hereto. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.11, the inventories of the
Seller shown on its Balance Sheet (net of reserves) are carried at values which
reflect the normal inventory valuation policy of the Seller of stating the items
of inventory at average cost in accordance with a cash basis method of
accounting.  Inventory acquired since the Balance Sheet Date has been
acquired in the ordinary course of business and valued as set forth
above.  The Seller will maintain the inventory in the normal and
ordinary course of business from the date hereof through the Closing
Date.

    

    4.12.                      Machinery and
Equipment.  Except for items disposed of in the ordinary course
of business, all machinery, tools, furniture, fixtures, equipment, vehicles,
leasehold improvements and all other tangible personal property (hereinafter
“Fixed Assets”) of the Seller currently being used in the conduct of its
business (the “Business”), or included in determining the net book value of the
Seller on the Balance Sheet Date, together with any machinery or equipment that
is leased or operated by the Seller, are in fully serviceable working condition
and repair.  Said Fixed Assets shall be maintained in such condition
from the date hereof through the Closing Date.  Except as described on
Schedule 4.12 hereto, all Fixed Assets owned, used or held by the Seller are
situated at its business premises and are currently used in its
Business.  Schedule 4.12 describes all Fixed Assets owned by or an
interest in which is claimed by any other person (whether a customer, supplier
or other person) for which the Seller is responsible (copies of all agreements
relating thereto being attached to said Schedule 4.12), and all such property is
in the Seller’s actual possession and is in such condition that upon the return
of such property in its present condition to its owner, the Seller will not be
liable in any amount to such owner.  There are no outstanding
requirements or recommendations by any insurance company that has issued a
policy covering either (i) such Fixed Assets or (ii) any liabilities
of the Seller relating to operation of the Business, or by any board of fire
underwriters or other body exercising similar functions, requiring or
recommending any repairs or work to be done on any Fixed Assets or any changes
in the operations of the Business, any equipment or machinery used therein, or
any procedures relating to such operations, equipment or
machinery.  All Fixed Assets of the Seller are set forth on Schedule
4.12 hereto.

    

    4.13.                      Real Property
Matters.  The Seller does not own any real property as of the
date hereof and has not owned any real property during the three years preceding
the date hereof.

    

    4.14.                      Leases.  All
leases of real and personal property of the Seller are described in Schedule
4.14, are in full force and effect and constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the respective parties thereto enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
creditor’s rights, and have not been assigned or encumbered.  The
Seller has performed in all material respects the obligations required to be
performed by it under all such leases to date and it is not in default in any
material respect under any of said leases, except as set forth in Schedule 4.14,
nor has it made any leasehold improvements required to be removed at the
termination of any lease, except signs.  No other party to any such
lease is in material default thereunder.  Except as noted on Schedule
4.14, none of the leases listed thereon require the consent of a third party in
connection with the transfer of the Assets.

    4.15.                      Patents, Software,
Trademarks, Etc.  The Seller does not own any registered
patents, software, trademarks, service marks, trade names and/or
copyrights.

    

    4.16.                      Insurance
Policies.  There is set forth in Schedule 4.16 a list and brief
description of all insurance policies on the date hereof held by the Seller or
on which it pays premiums, including, without limitation, life insurance and
title insurance policies, which description includes the premiums payable by it
thereunder.  Schedule 4.16 also sets forth, in the case of any life
insurance policy held by the Seller, the name of the insured under such policy,
the cash surrender value thereof and any loans thereunder.  All such
insurance premiums in respect of such coverage have been, and to the Closing
Date will be, paid in full, if due and owing.  All claims, if any,
made against the Seller which are covered by such policies have been, or are
being, settled or defended by the insurance companies that have issued such
policies.  Up to the Closing Date, such insurance coverage will be
maintained in full force and effect and will not be cancelled, modified or
changed without the express written consent of the Purchaser, except to the
extent the maturity dates of any such insurance policies expiring prior to the
Closing Date.  No such policy has been, or to the Closing Date will
be, cancelled by the issuer thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Owner and the
Seller, between the date hereof and the Closing Date, there shall be no increase
in the premiums with respect to any such insurance policy caused by any action
or omission of the Owner or of the Seller.  Upon the Closing Date, all
life insurance policies maintained by the Seller shall be assigned to each
respective Seller.

    

    4.17.                      Banking and Personnel

percentage compensation and other like benefits, if any, paid or payable to such
persons for the last full fiscal year completed, together with a schedule of

    (iii)           A

period, identification of all compensation and medical benefits paid to date on
each such claim and the estimated amount of compensation and medical benefits to

spouses, dependents, or beneficiaries);

    

    (iii)           An
entity is an “affiliate” of the Seller for purposes of this Section 4.22 if
it would have ever been considered a single employer with the Seller under ERISA
Section 4001(b) or part of the same “controlled group” as the Seller for
purposes of ERISA Section 302(d)(8)(C); and

    

    (iv)           “Multiemployer

exceed the average annual cost thereof for said past three year
period.

payments) or given any gifts to another business concern, to an agent or
employee of another business concern or of any governmental entity (domestic or
foreign) or to a political party or candidate for political office (domestic or
foreign), to obtain or retain business for the Seller or to receive favorable or
preferential treatment, except for gifts and entertainment given to
representatives of customers or potential customers of sufficiently limited
value and in a form (other than cash) that would not be construed as a bribe or
payoff.

order, qualification, waiver or other action of any kind (collectively, a
“Filing”) will be required as a result of the sale of the Assets by Seller in
accordance with this Agreement (a) to avoid the loss of any License or the
violation, breach or termination of, or any default under, or the creation of
any lien on any Asset of the Seller pursuant to the terms of, any law,
regulation, order or other requirement or any contract binding upon the Seller
or to which any such asset may be subject, or (b) to enable Purchaser
(directly or through any designee) to continue the operation of the Seller and

    (a) In the

reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses
indemnified against hereunder.  If the indemnifying party elects to
defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates
to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or
sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of
its intent to do so.  If the indemnifying party elects not to defend
against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any
Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of
its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the
indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party
may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such
Claim.  If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then the
indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of
defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills.  If the
indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party
may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim;
provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate
in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying
party if, (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or
potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided,
further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than
one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any
Claim.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in
connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such
Claim.

     

    (b) After any
final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board
or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the
time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated,
or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a
mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified
party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing
by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter
and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and
owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds
within 10 business days after the date of such notice.

     

    (c) The
failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim
shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party's
obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying
party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such
failure.

and Warranties.

     

    The
parties hereto hereby agree that the representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered in
connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
and the Closing hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by the parties
hereto; provided, however, that any claims or actions with respect thereto
(other than claims for indemnifications with respect to the representation and
warranties contained in Sections 4.9, 4.22 and 4.27, which shall survive for

and Owner under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Seller’s and
Owner’s obligation to sell the Assets to the Purchaser, shall be enforceable by
a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction,
and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection
therewith.  Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not
exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may
have under this Agreement or otherwise.

    (a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably
submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located
within the State of Texas over any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby
irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit,
action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such
courts.  The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have
to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense
of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.

    (c) If
any legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the
enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, or because of an alleged
dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with or related to

    10.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments
and Waivers.

     

    This Agreement (including the schedules
and exhibits hereto, together with the Confidentiality/Standstill Agreement
executed by the parties as of May 30, 2008) represents the entire understanding
and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can
be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this
Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment,
supplement, modification or waiver is sought.  No action taken
pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by
or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party
taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement contained herein.  The waiver by any party hereto of a
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a
further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right,
power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by
law.

     

    10.8 Governing
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
