              AUTHORIZATION
                OF NOTES.

            

    

    

    The
      Obligors will authorize the issue and sale of $215,000,000 aggregate principal
      amount of their 5.99% Senior Notes, Series 2006-A, due February 27,
      2016 (the “Series 2006-A

      The

      may from time to time be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2,
      are collectively referred to as the “Notes”
      (such
      term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to
      Section 13 of this Agreement or the Other Agreements (as hereinafter
      defined)). The Series 2006-A Notes shall be substantially in the form set
      out in Exhibit 1, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved
      by you and the Obligors. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are

              SALE

        Section 2.1.    Purchase
      and Sale of Notes.
      Subject
      to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Obligors will issue and
      sell
      to you and you will purchase from the Obligors, at the Closing provided for
      in
      Section 3, the Series 2006-A Notes in the principal amount specified
      opposite your name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the
      principal amount thereof. Contemporaneously with entering into this Agreement,
      the Obligors are entering into separate Note Purchase Agreements (the
“Other
      Agreements”)
      identical with this Agreement with each of the other purchasers named in
      Schedule A (the “Other
      Purchasers”),
      providing for the sale at such Closing to each of the Other Purchasers of the
      Series 2006-A Notes in the principal amount specified opposite its name in
      Schedule A. Your obligation hereunder, and the obligations of the Other
      Purchasers under the Other Agreements, are several and not joint obligations,
      and you shall have no obligation under any Other Agreement and no liability
      to
      any Person for the performance or nonperformance by any Other Purchaser
      thereunder.

    

        Section 2.2.    Additional
      Series of Notes. The
      Obligors may, from time to time, in their sole discretion, but subject to the
      terms hereof, issue and sell one or more additional series of their unsecured
      promissory notes under the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to a supplement
      (a “Supplement”)
      substantially in the form of Exhibit S (with such modifications, if any, in
      the names of the Obligors as may be necessary to properly identify the Obligors
      at the time of delivery of any such Supplement and the related Additional Notes
      (defined below)).

      series
      of Additional Notes, when so issued, shall be differentiated from all previous
      series by sequential numerical designation inscribed thereon;

    

        (ii)    Additional
      Notes of the same series may consist of more than one different and separate
      tranches and may differ with respect to outstanding principal amounts, maturity
      dates, interest rates and premiums, if any, and price and terms of redemption
      or
      payment prior to maturity, but all such different and separate tranches of
      the
      same series shall vote as a single class and constitute one series;

    

        (iii)    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 and
      optional prepayment on the dates and at the premiums, if any, have such
      additional or different conditions precedent to closing, such representations
      and warranties and such additional covenants as shall be specified in the
      Supplement under which such Additional Notes are issued and upon execution
      of
      any such Supplement, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect such additional
      covenants without further action on the part of the holders of the Notes
      outstanding under this Agreement, provided,
      that
      any such additional covenants shall inure to the benefit of all holders of
      Notes
      so long as any Additional Notes issued pursuant to such Supplement remain
      outstanding;

    

        (iv)    each
      series of Additional Notes issued under this Agreement shall be in substantially
      the form of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit S hereto with such variations,
      omissions and insertions as are necessary or permitted hereunder;

    

        (v)    the
      minimum principal amount of any Additional Note originally issued under a
      Supplement shall be $5,000,000; 

    

        (vi)    all
      Additional Notes shall mature more than one year after the issuance thereof
      and
      shall constitute Funded Debt of the Company and shall rank pari
      passu
      with all
      other outstanding Notes; and

    

        (vii)    no
      Additional
      Notes shall be issued hereunder if at the time of issuance thereof and after
      giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, any Default or Event
      of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

    Each
      Obligor, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to you
      that:

    

        Section 5.1.    Organization;
      Power and Authority.
      Each
      Obligor is a corporation or limited liability company or limited partnership
      duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
      jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and is duly qualified as a
      foreign corporation or limited liability company or limited partnership 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 Obligor has the corporate
      or
      limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority to own
      or
      hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to
      transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and
      deliver this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the Notes and to perform
      the
      provisions hereof and thereof.

        Section 5.2.    Authorization,
      etc.
      This
      Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes have been duly authorized by
      all
      necessary corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership action
      on the part of each Obligor, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution
      and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding
      obligation of each Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with
      its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
      affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general
      principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
      in
      a proceeding in equity or at law).

    

        Section 5.3.    Disclosure.
      The
      Company, through its agents, SPP Capital Partners, LLC, and US Bank, N.A.,
      has
      delivered to you and each Other Purchaser a copy of a Confidential Direct
      Placement Memorandum, dated December 2005 (the “Memorandum”),
      relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly
      describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and
      principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the
      Memorandum and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, taken as a
      whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
      any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
      light of the circumstances under which they were made. Since January 1,
      2005, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business,
      properties or prospects of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries 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 any Obligor that
      could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not
      been
      set forth herein or in the Memorandum.

    

        Section 5.4.    Organization
      and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.
      (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and
      correct lists (i) of each Obligor’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 each Obligor and each other Subsidiary,
      (ii) of each Obligor’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and
      (iii) of each Obligor’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 Obligors and their
      Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and,
      in
      all cases, are owned by the Obligors or another Subsidiary free and clear of
      any
      Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).

    

        (c)    Each
      Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal
      entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
      of
      its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
      or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
      such
      qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which
      the
      failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in
      the
      aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such
      Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under
      lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact
      the
      business it transacts and proposes to transact.

        (d)    No
      Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal restriction or
      any
      agreement (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4
      and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or limited liability company
      or limited partnership statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary
      to
      pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits
      to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of
      capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.

    

        Section 5.5.    Financial
      Statements.
      The
      Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements
      of
      the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said
      financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes)
      fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position
      of
      the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such
      Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for
      the
      respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
      consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in
      the
      notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to
      normal year-end adjustments).

    

        Section 5.6.    Compliance
      with Laws, Other Instruments, etc.
      The
      execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor 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 any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor under, any indenture, mortgage,
      deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter
      or
      by-laws, articles of organization or operating agreement, or any other agreement
      or instrument to which any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor is bound
      or
      by which any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor or any of their respective
      properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a
      breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment,
      decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable
      to any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor or (iii) violate any
      provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental
      Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any
      Obligor.

    

        Section 5.7.    Governmental
      Authorizations, etc.
      No
      consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration
      with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
      delivery or performance by any Obligor of this Agreement or the
      Notes.

    

        Section 5.8.    Litigation;
      Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.
      (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge
      of any Obligor, threatened against or affecting any Obligor or any Subsidiary
      of
      any Obligor or any property of any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor
      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)    No
      Obligor
      nor any Subsidiary of any Obligor is in default under any term of any agreement
      or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order,
      judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority
      or
      is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including
      without limitation Environmental Laws)

    of
      any
      Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the
      aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

    

        Section 5.9.    Taxes.
      Each
      Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are
      required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown
      to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied
      upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent
      such
      taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become
      delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is
      not individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount,
      applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith
      by
      appropriate proceedings and with respect to which such Obligor or such
      Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance
      with GAAP. No Obligor knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that
      could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges,
      accruals and reserves on the books of each Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries
      in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate.
      The Federal income tax liabilities of each Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries
      have been determined by the Internal Revenue Service and paid for all tax years
      up to and including the tax year ended September 29, 2004.

    

        Section 5.10.    Title
      to
      Property; Leases.
      Each
      Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their
      respective properties, 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 any Obligor 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.

    

        Section 5.11.    Licenses,
      Permits, etc.
      (a) Each Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses,
      permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, 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 each Obligor, no product of any Obligor infringes in any
      Material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent,
      copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any
      other
      Person; and

    

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

    

        Section 5.12.    Compliance
      with ERISA.
      (a) Each Obligor and each of its ERISA Affiliates has 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 Adverse Effect. No Obligor 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 any Obligor or
      any
      ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights,
      properties or assets of any Obligor 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, 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 more than $1,000,000 in the case of any single Plan and by more
      than $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all Plans. The term “benefit
      liabilities”
      has the
      meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current
      value”
      and
“present
      value”
      have the
      meanings specified in section 3 of ERISA.

    

        (c)    No
      Obligor nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred withdrawal liabilities
      (nor
      is 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
      post-retirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of each
      Obligor’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 each Obligor 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
      each Obligor 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.

    

        Section 5.13.    Private
      Offering by the Obligors.
      No
      Obligor nor anyone acting on its 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 46 other Institutional
      Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for
      investment. No Obligor nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take,
      any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the
      registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

    

        Section 5.14.    Use
      of
      Proceeds; Margin Regulations.
      The
      Obligors will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes to re-finance existing
      Senior Debt and for general corporate or limited liability company or limited
      partnership purposes. No part of the proceeds from the sale 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -

    of
      the
      Notes hereunder 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 207), or for
      the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such
      circumstances as to involve the Obligors 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 1.00% of the value of the consolidated assets of the
      Obligors and their Subsidiaries and the Obligors do not have any present
      intention that margin stock will constitute more than 1.00% 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) Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of all
      outstanding Debt of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries as of December 31,
      2005 (unless a more recent date is indicated on the schedule), since which
      date
      there has been no Material change in the amounts (except for the outstanding
      amounts owed to the Banks under the Credit Agreement, described in
      Schedule 5.15), interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or
      maturities of the Debt of the Obligors or their Subsidiaries. No Obligor nor
      any
      of its Subsidiaries is in default and no waiver of default is currently in
      effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of any Obligor
      or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt
      of
      any Obligor 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 Debt
      to
      become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly
      scheduled dates of payment.

    

        (b)    Except
      as
      disclosed in Schedule 5.15, no Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries has
      agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of
      a
      contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter
      acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by
      Section 10.3.

    

        Section 5.16.    Foreign
      Assets Control Regulations, etc.
      Neither
      the sale of the Notes by the Obligors hereunder nor their use of the proceeds
      thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of
      the
      foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department
      (31
      CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive
      order relating thereto.

    

        Section 5.17.    Status
      under Certain Statutes.
      No
      Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” registered or
      required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
      or is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
      1935, as amended, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as amended, or the Federal
      Power Act, as amended. No Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries is a person or
      entity described by (i) Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or
      (ii) the Department of Treasury Rule, and no Obligor nor any of its
      subsidiaries is in violation of Executive Order 13224.

      Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any claim or has received
      any notice of any claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any
      claim
      against any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their

    respective
      real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or
      other assets, alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any
      Environmental Laws, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be
      expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed
      to you in writing:

    

        (a)    no
      Obligor
      nor any of its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any facts which would give rise
      to
      any claim, public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage
      to
      the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real
      properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other
      assets or their use, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be
      expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

    

        (b)    no
      Obligor
      nor any of its Subsidiaries has stored any Hazardous Materials on real

      Laws in each case in any manner that could reasonably be expected to result
      in a
      Material Adverse Effect; and

    

        (c)    all
      buildings
      on all real properties now owned, leased or operated by any Obligor or any
      of
      its Subsidiaries are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except
      where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
      Adverse Effect.

    

        Section 5.19.    Notes
      Rank
      Pari Passu.
      The
      obligations of each Obligor under this Agreement and the Notes rank at least
      pari
      passu
      in right
      of payment with all other senior unsecured Debt (actual or contingent) of such
      Obligor, including, without limitation, all senior unsecured Debt of such
      Obligor described in Schedule 5.15 hereto. Each Subsidiary which is a
      borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement as of the date of Closing

              PREPAYMENT
                OF THE NOTES.

            

    

    

        Section 8.1.    Required
      Prepayments.
      As
      provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Series 2006-A
      Notes
      shall be due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof.

    

        Section 8.2.    Optional
      Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount.
      The
      Obligors may, at their option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any
      time
      all, or from time to time any part of, the Series 2006-A Notes, in an
      amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the
      Series 2006-A Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment,
      at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued
      thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined
      for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company
      will
      give each holder of Series 2006-A Notes written notice of each optional
      prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than
      60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall
      specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2006-A
      Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each
      Series 2006-A Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in
      accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment
      date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be
      accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated
      Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if
      the
      date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details
      of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company
      shall deliver to each holder of Series 2006-A Notes a certificate of a
      Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount
      as
      of the specified prepayment date.

    

        Section 8.3.    Allocation
      of
      Partial Prepayments.
      In the
      case of each partial prepayment of the Series 2006-A Notes pursuant to
      Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Series 2006-A Notes to be
      prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Series 2006-A Notes at the time
      outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
      principal amounts thereof.

    

        Section 8.4.    Maturity;
      Surrender, etc.
      In the
      case of each prepayment of Series 2006-A Notes pursuant to this
      Section 8, the principal amount of each Series 2006-A Note to be
      prepaid

    shall
      mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment,
      together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the
      applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the
      Obligors shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable,
      together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest
      on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Series 2006-A Note paid
      or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Obligors and cancelled and shall
      not be reissued, and no Series 2006-A Note shall be issued in lieu of any
      prepaid principal amount of any Series 2006-A Note.

    

        Section 8.5.    Purchase
      of Notes.
      The
      Obligors will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay
      or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes
      except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement and the Notes. The Obligors will promptly cancel all Notes
      acquired by them or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or
      purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes
      may
      be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

    

        Section 8.6.    Make-Whole
      Amount.
      The
      term “Make-Whole
      Amount”
      means,
      with respect to any Series 2006-A 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 Series 2006-A 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 Series 2006-A Note, the principal of such
      Series 2006-A 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 Series 2006-A 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 Series 2006-A Notes is payable) based upon
      the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

    

    “Reinvestment
      Yield”
      means,
      with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A 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”
on the Bloomberg Financial Services Screen (or such other display as may replace
      Page PX1 on the Bloomberg Financial Services Screen) for actively traded U.S.
      Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of
      such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields
      are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are
      not
      ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the
      latest day for which such yields have been so

    reported
      as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date 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 the Remaining
      Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the
      maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.

    

    “Remaining
      Average Life”
      means,
      with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the
      nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal
      into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the
      principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such
      Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest
      one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect
      to
      such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled
      Payment.

    

    “Remaining
      Scheduled Payments”
      means,
      with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A 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 Series 2006-A 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 Section 12.1.

    

    “Settlement
      Date”
      means,
      with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A 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.

              AFFIRMATIVE
                COVENANTS.

            

    

    

    Each
      Obligor, jointly and severally, covenants that so long as any of the Notes
      are
      outstanding:

    

        Section 9.1.    Compliance
      with Law.
      Each
      Obligor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws,
      ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is
      subject, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and will obtain
      and
      maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other
      governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective
      properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to
      the
      extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or
      governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in

    effect
      such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental
      authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
      expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. In addition to, and not in
      limitation of, the foregoing, the Obligors will not, and will not permit any
      of
      their Subsidiaries to, be a Person described in Section 1 of the
      Anti-Terrorism Order or described in the Department of the Treasury Rule, and
      will not engage in any dealings or transactions, or otherwise be associated,
      with any such Persons.

    

        Section 9.2.    Insurance.
      Each
      Obligor will, and each Obligor will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries
      to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with
      respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties
      and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including
      deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are
      maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of
      established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly
      situated.

    

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

    

        Section 9.4.    Payment
      of
      Taxes and Claims.
      Each
      Obligor will, and each Obligor will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file
      all
      tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge
      all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes,
      assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their
      properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and
      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 such Obligor or any Subsidiary,
provided
      that no
      Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries need pay any such tax or assessment or
      claims if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by
      such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in
      appropriate proceedings, and such Obligor or such Subsidiary has established
      adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Obligor
      or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes and assessments
      in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

      or
      Limited Liability Company or Limited Partnership Existence, etc.
      Each
      Obligor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its

      to Sections 10.2 and 10.8, each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep
      in full force and effect the corporate or limited liability company or limited
      partnership existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and all rights
      and

      such corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership existence,
      right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
      Adverse Effect.

    

        Section 9.6.    Nature
      of
      Business.
      The
      Obligors and each of their Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any
      business if, as a result, the general nature of the business, taken on a
      combined basis, which would then be engaged in by the Obligors and their
      Restricted Subsidiaries would be substantially changed from the general nature
      of the business engaged in by such Obligors and their Restricted Subsidiaries
      on
      the date of this Agreement.

    

        Section 9.7.    Notes
      to Rank Pari Passu. The
      Notes
      and all other obligations under this Agreement of each Obligor are and at all
      times shall remain direct and unsecured obligations of such Obligor ranking
      pari
      passu
      as
      against the assets of such Obligor with all other Notes from time to time issued
      and outstanding hereunder without any preference among themselves and
pari
      passu
      with all
      other present and future unsecured Debt (actual or contingent) of such Obligor
      which is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other
      unsecured Debt of such Obligor.

    

        Section 9.8.    Designation,
      Joinder and Release of Subsidiaries.
      (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each
      Subsidiary which is an Obligor under this Agreement shall be and remain a
“Restricted
      Subsidiary”
      for as
      long as such Subsidiary is an Obligor under this Agreement. 

    

        (b)    WFB,
      as
      of the date of the Closing, shall be designated as a “Restricted
      Subsidiary”. The
      Company shall have the right, after the date of Closing, on not more than three
      occasions (in the aggregate for such re-designations) to re-designate the status
      of WFB as a “Restricted
      Subsidiary”
      or an
“Unrestricted
      Subsidiary”
      by
      giving notice in reasonable detail of any such re-designation to the holders,
      subject,
      however,
      to the
      requirement that at the time of any re-designation to the holders and after
      giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder
      (such requirement being referred to as the “No
      Default Requirement”).
      Any
      such notice of re-designation to the holders shall be given within five (5)
      Business Days of the election of the Company to so re-designate any such
      Subsidiary and shall contain a certification by a Responsible Officer of the
      Company certifying as to the No Default Requirement.

    

        (c)    With
      respect
      to each Person which becomes a Subsidiary after the date of the Closing and
      is
      not required to be an Obligor hereunder, the Company shall, by written notice
      to
      each of the holders (delivered not less than 10 days prior to such Person
      becoming a Subsidiary), initially designate each such Subsidiary as a
“Restricted
      Subsidiary”
      or an
“Unrestricted
      Subsidiary”
      hereunder. In the absence of the Company giving any such notice of initial
      designation pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), each such Person initially
      becoming a Subsidiary subsequent to the date of the Closing shall be deemed
      to
      be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, the Company shall have
      the
      right, with respect to each Subsidiary referred to in this Section 9.8(c),
      on not more than three occasions (in the aggregate for such re-designations)
      for
      each such Subsidiary, to re-designate the status of each such Subsidiary as
      a
“Restricted
      Subsidiary”
      or an
“Unrestricted
      Subsidiary”
      by
      giving notice in reasonable detail of any such re-designation to the holders,
      subject,
      however,
      to the
      No Default Requirement. Any

    such
      notice of re-designation shall be given within five (5) Business Days of
      the election of the Company to so re-designate any such Subsidiary and shall
      contain a certification by a Responsible Officer certifying as to the No Default
      Requirement.

    

        (d)    The
      Company
      will give not less than 10 days prior written notice of its acquisition or
      formation of any Subsidiary which notice will confirm that, subject to the
      provisions of Section 9.8(e), such Subsidiary shall constitute an Obligor
      and a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder subject to all of the obligations of
      the
      Obligors hereunder as if such Subsidiary were an original Obligor hereunder
      as
      of the date of Closing. Such notice shall be accompanied by an executed copy
      of
      the joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 9.8(d) hereto
      and such other reasonable and customary closing showings and legal opinions
      as
      may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to the Company.
      Substantially concurrently with (and within 10 days after) such Subsidiary
      becoming a new Obligor hereunder, the Obligors hereunder (including the new
      Obligor) will execute and deliver new Notes hereunder in replacement of the
      outstanding Notes.

    

        (e)    If
      any
      Subsidiary is released as a “Borrower” (as defined in the Credit Agreement),
      under the Credit Agreement (and is not then designated as a borrower or obligor
      under any other credit facility of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary),
      such Subsidiary shall be deemed released as an Obligor under this Agreement
      concurrently with the Company providing you with an Officer’s Certificate. Such
      Officer’s Certificate shall be accompanied by evidence of such release under the
      Credit Agreement and shall certify that (i) at the time of such release and
      immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default existed
      or shall exist hereunder (ii) such Subsidiary then being released is not
      then a borrower or obligor under any other credit facility, and (iii) other
      than the payment of reasonable legal fees, no consideration was granted to
      any
      agent or lender under the Credit Agreement, directly or indirectly in connection
      with such release including, but not limited to, any payment of any fees, any
      increase in pricing, any additional Guaranty, any participation in other
      transactions or any other credit enhancement or other benefit. In the event
      of
      such release, the Restricted Subsidiary being released shall continue to be
      a
      Restricted Subsidiary hereunder subject to the rights of the Company to
      re-designate the status of such Subsidiary in accordance with
      Section 9.8(c). For the avoidance of doubt, in any event, any Subsidiary
      whether now owned or hereafter formed or acquired which is a borrower or
      guarantor under the Credit Agreement, will be required to be an Obligor
      hereunder.

    

        Section 9.9.    Release
      of Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement.
      The
      holders agree to terminate the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement
      simultaneously with the termination of such agreement by all other parties
      to
      such agreement provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists
      immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such termination
      and
      (ii) other than the payment of reasonable attorneys fees, no consideration
      was or shall be granted to any agent or lender, directly or indirectly in
      connection with the release of the Intercreditor Agreement including but not
      limited to the payment of fees, any increase in pricing, any additional
      Guaranty, any participation in other transactions or any other credit
      enhancement (whether consisting of waiver, collateral, reduction of principal
      (or commitment therefore), additional covenants or other
      benefit).

    Each
      Obligor, jointly and severally, covenants that so long as any of the Notes
      are
      outstanding:

    

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

    

        (b)    No
      Obligor
      shall make an Investment in WFB if at the time thereof, or after giving effect
      thereto, a Default or Event of Default will exist under this
      Agreement.

    

        Section 10.2.    Merger,
      Consolidation, etc.
      No
      Obligor will, or will permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consolidate with
      or
      merge with any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially
      all
      of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person
      unless:

    

        (a)    in
      any
      such transaction involving the Company, the successor formed by such
      consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by
      conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of the Company
      as
      an entirety, as the case may be, shall be a solvent corporation organized and
      existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (including
      the
      District of Columbia), and, if the Company is not such corporation,
      (i) such corporation shall have executed and delivered to each holder of
      any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance
      of
      each covenant and condition of this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the
      Notes and (ii) 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;

    

        (b)    in
      any
      such transaction involving a Restricted Subsidiary and not the Company, the
      successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the
      Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of
      the
      assets of such Restricted Subsidiary as an entirety, shall be a Restricted
      Subsidiary of the Company; and

    

        (c)    immediately
      after giving effect to any such transaction no Default or Event of Default
      shall
      have occurred and be continuing.

    

    No
      such
      conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of an Obligor
      shall have the effect of releasing an Obligor or any successor corporation
      that
      shall theretofore have become

    such
      in
      the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under this
      Agreement or the Notes.

    

    The
      provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not prohibit (i) any Restricted
      Subsidiary from consolidating or merging with or conveying, transferring or
      leasing substantially all of its assets to, another Restricted Subsidiary or
      to
      an Obligor provided
      that in
      any consolidation or merger involving the Company, the Company shall be the
      surviving or continuing corporation, in any consolidation or merger involving
      an
      Obligor and not the Company, an Obligor shall be the surviving or continuing
      corporation, and in any conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all
      of
      its assets, the transferee or lessee shall be an Obligor, or (ii) any
      conveyance, transfer or lease of a Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or
      Subsidiary Stock in respect thereof if such transaction is permitted by
      Section 10.8 and does not constitute all or substantially all of the assets
      of such Obligor and, concurrently therewith, such Subsidiary has been released
      as an Obligor hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
      Section 9.8(e).

    

        Section 10.3.    Liens.
       No
      Obligor will nor will any Obligor permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly
      or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist (upon the happening
      of a
      contingency or otherwise) any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset
      (including without limitation, any document or instrument in respect of goods
      or
      accounts receivable) of such Obligor or any such Restricted Subsidiary, whether
      now owned or held or hereafter acquired, or upon any income or profits
      therefrom, or assigns or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits
      (unless it makes, or causes to be made, effective provision whereby the Notes
      will be equally and ratably secured with any and all other obligations thereby
      secured, such security to be pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory
      to
      the Required Holders and, in any such case, the Notes shall have the benefit,
      to
      the fullest extent that, and with such priority as, the holders of the Notes
      may
      be entitled under applicable law, of an equitable Lien on such property),
      except:

    

        (a)    Liens
      for

      attachment or judgment Lien, unless the judgment it secures shall not, within
      60
      days after the entry thereof, have been discharged or execution thereof stayed
      pending appeal, or shall not have been discharged within 60 days after the
      expiration of any such stay or shall not be currently contested in good faith
      by
      appropriate proceedings;

    

        (c)    Liens

      Obligor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided
      that

      of
      such property and are not incurred in connection with the borrowing of
      money;

      of the instru-ment originally creating such Lien, other property (and/or
      improvement thereon) which is an improvement to or is acquired for speci-fic
      use
      in connection with such acquired or constructed property (and/or improvement
      thereon) or which is real property being improved by such ac-quired or

      by
      the board of directors of any Obligor or Restricted Subsidiary incurring such
      Lien) of such property (and/or improvement thereon) at the time of such
      acquisition or construction, and

      such Lien

      together with any other such event or events, could reasonably be expected
      to
      have a Material Adverse Effect.

    

        As
      used in
      Section 11(j), the terms “employee

                ON DEFAULT, ETC.

            

    

    

        Section 12.1.    Acceleration.
      (a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Obligor 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
      more than 50% 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.

    

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

    

    Upon
      any
      Note’s becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether
      automatically or by declaration, such Note will forthwith mature and the entire
      unpaid principal amount of such Note, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid
      interest thereon and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of
      such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall
      all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment,
      demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor
      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
      Obligors (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision
      for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Obligors in the event that the Notes
      are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended
      to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such
      circumstances.

    

        Section 12.2.    Other
      Remedies.
      If any
      Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective
      of
      whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable
      under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may
      proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law,
      suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific
      performance of any agreement contained

    herein
      or
      in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof
      or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby
      or
      by law or otherwise.

    

        Section 12.3.    Rescission.
      At any
      time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause
      (b)
      or (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 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
      Obligors have paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and
      Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid
      other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue
      principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by
      applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default
      Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of
      amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been
      cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment
      or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto
      or
      to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will
      extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any
      right consequent thereon.

    

        Section 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 Obligors under Section 15, the
      Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount
      as
      shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred
      in
      any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without
      limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

      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 Obligors 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.

      and Exchange of Notes.

      registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for
      registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
      of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or its attorney
      duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each
      transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Obligors shall execute and
      deliver, at the Obligors’ expense (except as

    provided
      below), one or more new Notes of the appropriate series (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 Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest
      from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note
      or
      dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid
      thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Note is surrendered for a new
      Note in connection with Section 9.8(d), such new Note shall be dated as of
      the
      date that the new Note is issued, but the form of Note shall be modified to
      provide that notwithstanding the date of the Note, interest will accrue from
      the
      date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or from
      the
      date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The
      Obligors 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 $250,000, provided
      that if
      necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire
      holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $250,000.
      Any
      transferee of a Note, or purchaser of a participation therein, shall, by its
      acceptance of such Note be deemed to make the same representations to the
      Obligors regarding the Note or participation as you and the Other Purchasers
      have made pursuant to Section 6.2, provided
      that
      such entity may (in reliance upon information provided by the Obligors, which
      shall not be unreasonably withheld) make a representation to the effect that
      the
      purchase by such entity of any Note will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited
      transaction under section 406(a) of ERISA.

      of Notes.
      Upon
      receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
      ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which
      evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such
      Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction
      or
      mutilation), and

    

        (a)    in
      the
      case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
      it
      (provided
      that if
      the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or
      another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $10,000,000,
      such
      Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
      satisfactory), or

    

        (b)    in
      the
      case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

    

    the
      Obligors at their own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
      new
      Note of the appropriate series, dated and bearing interest from the date to
      which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
      Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if
      no
      interest shall have been paid thereon.

      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
      Obligors will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole
      Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for
      such
      purpose below your name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such
      other address as you shall have from time to time specified to the Company
      in
      writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note
      or
      the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the
      Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or
      prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender such Note for cancellation,
      reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal
      executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the
      Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of
      any Note held by you or your nominee you will, at your election, either endorse
      thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest
      has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Obligors in exchange for
      a
      new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Obligors 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.

      Expenses.
      Whether
      or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Obligors will
      pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special
      counsel and, if reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by you
      and
      each Other Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions
      and in connection with any supplements, additional series of Notes, amendments,
      waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether
      or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without
      limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending
      (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this
      Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process
      or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or
      the
      Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, and (b) the costs and
      expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the
      insolvency or bankruptcy of any Obligor or any Subsidiary or in connection
      with
      any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by
      the
      Notes. The Obligors will pay, and will save you and each other holder of a
      Note
      harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any,
      of
      brokers and finders (other than those retained by you).

    

        Section 15.2.    Survival.
      The
      obligations of the Obligors 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.

    All
      representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution

      delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by you of
      any
      Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and

      a
      Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered
      by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed
      representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement. Subject
      to
      the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement
      and understanding between you and the Obligors and supersede all prior
      agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
      hereof.

        Section 17.1.    Requirements.
      This
      Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof
      or
      of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and
      only with) the written consent of the Obligors 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, 9.8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or
      20.

    

        Section 17.2.    Solicitation
      of Holders of Notes.

    

        (a)    Solicitation.
      The
      Obligors 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 Obligors
      will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver
      or
      consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each
      holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed
      and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders
      of Notes.

    

        (b)    Payment.
      The
      Obligors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any
      remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or
      otherwise, or grant any security, 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 or of the Notes unless
      such
      remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on
      the
      same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding whether or not
      such
      holder consented to such waiver or amendment.

        Section 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 Obligors without regard to whether such Note
      has
      been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver
      will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event
      of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent
      thereon. No course of dealing between the Obligors and the holder of any Note
      nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate
      as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term
      “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from
      time to time be amended or supplemented.

    

        Section 17.4.    Notes
      Held by
      Obligors, etc.
      Solely
      for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage
      of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or
      consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement
      or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or
      in
      the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified
      percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes
      directly or indirectly owned by any Obligor or any of its Affiliates shall
      be
      deemed not to be outstanding.

      (a) by telefacsimile 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

      in Schedule A, or at such other address as you or it shall have specified

      process and you may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Obligor
      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 Obligors or any other holder of Notes from contesting
      any
      such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or
      from
      introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such
      reproduction.

    For
      the
      purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential
      Information”
      means
      information delivered to you by or on behalf of any Obligor 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 such Obligor 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 any Obligor 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,
      trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent
      such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment
      represented by your Notes), (ii) your financial advisors and other
      professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential
      Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20,
      (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to
      which you sell or offer to sell such Note or any part thereof or any
      participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt
      of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this
      Section 20), (v) any Person from which you offer to purchase any
      security of the Obligors (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its
      receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this
      Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
      jurisdiction over you, (vii) the National Association of Insurance
      Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating
      agency that requires access to information about your investment portfolio,
      or
      (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be
      necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule,
      regulation or order applicable to you, (x) in response to any subpoena or
      other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which you are
      a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
      the extent you may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be
      necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights
      and remedies under your Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by
      its
      acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be
      entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to

    Agreement.
      On reasonable request by the Obligors in connection with the delivery to any
      holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under
      this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party
      to this Agreement or its nominee or any other holder that shall have previously
      delivered such a confirmation), such holder will confirm in writing that it
      is
      bound by the provisions of this Section 20.

    You
      shall
      have the right to substitute any one of your Affiliates as the purchaser of
      the
      Notes that you have agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the
      Company, which notice shall be signed by both you and such Affiliate, shall
      contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall
      contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it
      of
      the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice,
      wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this
      Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu
      of you. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser
      hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to you all of the Notes then
      held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer,
      wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this
      Section 21), such word shall no longer be 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.

      of
      any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
      successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder
      of

        Section 22.2.    Payments
      Due on Non-Business Days.

      payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is
      due
      on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding
      Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation
      of
      the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

    

        Section 22.3.    Severability.
      Any
      provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
      jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
      such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
      provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
      jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or
      render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

      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.
