SEVERANCE TERMS AGREEMENT

THIS SEVERANCE TERMS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), made this 26th day of February 2007, is entered into by Network Engines, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 25 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 (the "Company"), and Paul Butler, an individual residing at ________________________________  (the "Employee").

The Company has previously delivered, and the Employee has accepted, an Offer Letter dated February 16, 2007 (the "Offer Letter") setting forth the general terms of the Employee's employment with the Company.  The Company and the Employee each desire to replace the paragraph of the Offer Letter titled "Severance" with more thorough and specific terms regarding the effect of termination of the Employee's employment with the Company.  In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

1.Employment at Will.  The Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms set forth in the Offer Letter.  The Employee's employment with the Company shall be at-will, meaning that either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause or notice subject to the provisions set forth herein.

2.Effect of Termination.

2.1Termination By the Company for Cause or at the Election of the Employee Without Good Reason.  In the event the Employee's employment is terminated for Cause, as defined in Section 3, or at the election of the Employee for any reason other than Good Reason, as defined in Section 3, the Company shall pay to the Employee the compensation and benefits otherwise due and payable to him under the Offer Letter through the last day of his actual employment by the Company.

2.2Termination for Death or Disability.  If the Employee's employment is terminated by death or because of disability, as defined in Section 3, the Company shall pay to the estate of the Employee or to the Employee, as the case may be, the compensation that would otherwise be payable to the Employee up to the end of the month in which the termination of his employment because of death or disability occurs.

2.3Termination By the Company Without Cause or By the Employee for Good Reason.  If the Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason, the Company shall for a period of six (6) months following the termination date (i) pay the Employee, in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices, severance pay in the form of base salary continuation (exclusive of any bonus or incentive component) and (ii) continue to pay the Company's share of the premiums for health and dental coverage for the Employee (in accordance with the applicable benefit plans and COBRA) to the extent the Employee is, and continues to be, eligible and participating in such plans, subject in the each such case of clauses (i) and (ii) to the Employee's execution and, if applicable, non-revocation, of a severance agreement and release drafted by and satisfactory to counsel for the Company.  

3.Definitions.

3.1For the purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" for termination shall be deemed to exist upon: (i) a good faith finding by the Board (A) of willful failure of the Employee after written notice to perform his assigned duties for the Company, or (B) that the Employee has engaged in dishonesty, gross negligence or misconduct, which dishonesty, gross negligence or misconduct has had a material adverse effect on the Company; (ii) the conviction of the Employee of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by the Employee to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony; or (iii) a breach by the Employee of any material provision of any invention and non-disclosure agreement or non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with the Company, which breach is not cured within ten days after written notice thereof.

3.2For the purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall exist upon (i) mutual written agreement by the Employee and the Board that Good Reason exists; (ii) the relocation of the Company's offices such that the Employee's daily commute is increased by at least 50 miles without the written consent of the Employee; (iii) reduction of the Employee's annual base salary without the prior consent of the Employee (other than in connection with, and substantially proportionate to, reductions by the Company of the annual base salary of more than 75% of its officers); or (iv) any material breach by the Company or any successor thereto of any agreement to which the Employee and the Company are parties, which breach is not cured within ten days of written notice thereof.

3.3For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "disability" shall mean the inability of the Employee, with reasonable accommodation as may be required by state or federal law, due to a physical or mental disability, for a period of ninety (90) days, whether or not consecutive, during any 365-day period to perform the services contemplated under the Offer Letter.  A determination of disability shall be made by a physician satisfactory to both the Employee and the Company, provided that if the Employee and the Company do not agree on a physician, the Employee and the Company shall each select a physician and these two together shall select a third physician, whose determination as to disability shall be binding on all parties.

4.Notices.  All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party at the address shown above, or at such other address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this Section 4.

5.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Offer Letter, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

6.Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Employee.

7.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced as a sealed instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.  Any action, suit or other legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Massachusetts), and the Company and the Employee each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court.  

8.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which or into which the Company may be merged or which may succeed to its assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of the Employee are personal and shall not be assigned by him.

9.Acknowledgment.  The Employee states and represents that he has had an opportunity to fully discuss and review the terms of this Agreement with an attorney. The Employee further states and represents that he has carefully read this Agreement, understands the contents herein, freely and voluntarily assents to all of the terms and conditions hereof, and signs his name of his own free act.

10.Miscellaneous.

10.1No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right.  A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

10.2The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any section of this Agreement.

10.3In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Severance Terms Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.

    2.2.         
      Purchase
and
      Sale of Shelf Notes.

     

    (a)         
      Facility.
      Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits
      which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential Affiliates from time to
      time,
      the purchase of Shelf Notes by Prudential Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement.
      The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein
      called the “Facility”.
      At any
      time (i) $200,000,000, minus
      (ii) the
      aggregate principal amount of the Series C Notes purchased and sold pursuant
      to
      this Agreement, minus
      (iii)
      the
      aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this
      Agreement prior to such time, minus
      (iv) the
      aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes which have not yet been purchased
      and sold hereunder prior to such time is herein called the “Available
      Facility Amount”
at
      such
      time; provided
      that the
      aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Shelf Notes outstanding at any
      time
      shall not exceed $25,000,000 (the lesser of the Available Facility Amount or
      $25,000,000 being referred to herein as the “Floating
      Rate Available Facility Amount”).
      NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF
      NOTES BY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS
      UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE
      OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES,
      SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND
      THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR
      ANY
      PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE. 

     

    (b)         
      Issuance
      Period.
      Shelf
      Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement beginning on the First
      Closing Date until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the First Closing
      Date (or if such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next
      preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after Prudential shall
      have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential,
      written notice stating that it elects to terminate the subsequent issuance
      and
      sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is
      not
      a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period
      during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement
      is
      herein called the “Issuance
      Period”.

     

    (c)         
      Periodic
      Spread Information.
      Provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, not later than 9:30
      A.M. (New York City local time) on a Business Day during the Issuance Period
      if
      there is an Available Facility Amount on such Business Day, the Company may
      request by telecopier or telephone, and Prudential will, to the extent
      reasonably practicable, provide to the Company on such Business Day (or, if
      such
      request is received after 9:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on such Business
      Day, on the following Business Day), information (by telecopier or telephone)
      with respect to various spreads at which Prudential Affiliates might be
      interested in purchasing Shelf Notes of different average lives; provided,
      however,
      that
      the Company may not make such requests more frequently than once in every five
      Business Days or such other period as shall be mutually agreed to in writing
      by
      the Company and Prudential. In any request described in the immediately
      preceding sentence, the Company may request that Prudential provide information
      with respect to either or both fixed or floating rates of interest (based on
      either the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate, or both). The amount and content of
      information so provided shall be in the sole discretion of Prudential but it
      is
      the intent of Prudential to provide information which will be of use to the
      Company in determining whether to initiate procedures for use of the Facility.
      Information so provided shall not constitute an offer to purchase Shelf Notes,
      and neither Prudential nor any Prudential Affiliate shall be obligated to
      purchase Shelf Notes at the spreads specified. Information so provided shall
      be
      representative of potential interest only for the period commencing on the
      day
      such information is provided and ending on the earlier of the fifth Business
      Day
      after such day and the first day after such day on which further spread
      information is provided. Prudential may suspend or terminate providing
      information pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) for any reason, including its
      determination that the credit quality of the Company has declined since the
      First Closing Date.

    (d)         
      Request
      for Purchase.
      The
      Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for
      purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being herein called a “Request
      for Purchase”).
      Each

    (i)
      specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which
      shall not be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 or (y) the entire amount
      of
      the Available Facility Amount, if the Available Facility Amount shall be less
      than $10,000,000 at the time such Request for Purchase is made, and shall not
      be
      greater than the Available Facility Amount or, if such Request for Purchase
      is
      for Floating Rate Shelf Notes, the Floating Rate Available Facility Amount
      at
      such time,

     

    (ii)
      specify the principal amounts, final maturities (which shall be no more than
      10
      years from the date of issuance in the case of the Fixed Rate Shelf Notes and
      no
      more than 5 years from the date of issuance in the case of the Floating Rate
      Shelf Notes), installment payment dates, amounts and interest payment periods
      (which may be quarterly or semi-annually in arrears in the case of a Fixed
      Rate
      Shelf Note and quarterly or, if more frequent, on the last day of the applicable
      Interest Period in arrears in the case of a Floating Rate Shelf Note),

     

    (iii)
      specify whether the rate quotes are to contain fixed rates of interest, floating
      rates of interest or both fixed and floating rates of interest and if Floating
      Rate Shelf Notes, whether such Notes bear interest at the LIBOR Rate or Prime
      Rate, the Interest Period of such Notes and the other information required
      by
      Section 8.9, 

     

    (iv)
      specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes and certify that such proceeds
      shall not be used to finance a Hostile Tender Offer, 

     

    (v)
      specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf
      Notes, which, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not
      less
      than ten days and not more than 20 days after the delivery of such Request
      for
      Purchase, 

     

    (vi)
      specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository
      institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to be
      transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale,

    (vii)
      certify that, exclusive of those exceptions noted on Annex 1 thereto, the
      representations and warranties contained in Section 5 are true on and as of
      the
      date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such
      Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, 

     

    (viii)
      specify the amount of the Issuance Fee due pursuant to Section 2.2(i)(i), which
      will be paid by the Company on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale and
      

     

    (ix)
      be
      substantially in the form of Exhibit
      2.2(d)
      attached
      hereto. 

     

    Each
      Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received
      by Prudential.

     

    (e)         
      Rate
      Quotes.
      Not
      later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given Prudential
      a
      Request for Purchase pursuant to Section 2.2(d), Prudential may, but shall
      be
      under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone or telecopier,
      in
      each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. New York City local time (or such
      later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate quotes (any interest rate
      quotes so provided shall be (i) fixed rate quotes if the Company requested
      fixed
      rate quotes pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(iii) and/or (ii) floating rate quotes
      if
      the Company requested floating rate quotes pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(iii))
      for
      the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules,
      and
      interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase.
      Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable (or in the case
      of Floating Rate Shelf Notes, the spread over the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate,
      as
      applicable) on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which
      a
      Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100%
      of
      the principal amount thereof.

     

    (f)         
      Acceptance.
      Within
      30 minutes after Prudential shall have provided any interest rate quotes
      pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or such shorter period as Prudential may specify
      to
      the Company (such period herein called the “Acceptance
      Window”),
      the
      Company may, subject to Section 2.2(g), elect to accept such interest rate
      quotes as to not less than a $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is equal
      to
      the Available Facility Amount if the Available Facility Amount is less than
      $10,000,000 at such time) aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes
      specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made
      by a
      Responsible Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone or
      telecopier within the Acceptance Window that the Company elects to accept such
      interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being
      herein called an “Accepted
      Note”)
      as to
      which such acceptance (herein called an “Acceptance”)
      relates. The day the Company notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect
      to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance
      Day”
for
      such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not
      receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase
      or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest
      rate quotes. Subject to Section 2.2(g) and the other terms and conditions
      hereof, the Company agrees to sell to a Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential
      agrees to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes
      at
      100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following
      the
      Acceptance Day, the Company and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase
      any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance
      substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(f) attached hereto (herein called
      a
“Confirmation
      of Acceptance”).
      If
      the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three
      Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with
      respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential or any Prudential Affiliate may at
      its
      election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel the Closing with
      respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in
      writing.

    (g)         
      Market
      Disruption.
      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(f), if Prudential shall have
      provided interest rate quotes pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and thereafter prior
      to
      the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been provided
      to
      Prudential in accordance with Section 2.2(f) the domestic market for U.S.
      Treasury securities or other financial instruments shall have closed or there
      shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant
      disruption of trading in United States securities generally on the New York
      Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or other
      financial instruments, or in the market for U.S. Treasury securities and other
      financial instruments, or in the case of quotes with respect to Floating Rate
      Shelf Notes bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate, a general suspension, material
      limitation or significant disruption in the London interbank market, then such
      interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes
      hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the
      Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest
      rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this
      Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions
      of this Section 2.2(g) are applicable with respect to such
      Acceptance.

     

    (h)         
      Facility
      Closings.
      Not
      later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any
      Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the
      Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of The Prudential
      Insurance Company of America, 1170 Peachtree Street, Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia
      30309 (or such other place as designated by Prudential), the Accepted Notes
      to
      be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized
      denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes
      to
      be purchased on such Closing Day, dated such Closing Day and registered in
      such
      Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the
      purchase price therefor by transfer of immediately available funds for credit
      to
      the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If
      the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased
      by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as
      provided above in this Section 2.2(h), or any of the conditions specified in
      Section 4.2 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled
      Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time,
      on
      such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed
      received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such Closing is to be
      rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance
      Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after
      such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled
      Closing Day”))
      and
      certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each
      Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply
      with the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 on such Rescheduled Closing Day
      and
      that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with Section
      2.2(i)(ii) or (ii) such Closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company
      shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential
      (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 1:00 P.M.,
      New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company
      in
      writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may elect to reschedule a
      Closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on not more than one occasion,
      unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing.

    (i)         
      Issuance
      Fee.
      The
      Company will pay to each Purchaser in immediately available funds a fee (herein
      called the “Issuance
      Fee”)
      on
      each Closing Day in an amount equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount
      of Notes sold to such Purchaser on such Closing Day.

     

    (ii)         
      Fixed
      Rate Delayed Delivery Fee.
      If (x)
      the rate of interest specified in a Confirmation of Acceptance in respect of
      any
      Accepted Note is a fixed rate of interest and (y) the closing of the purchase
      and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original
      Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to the Purchaser of
      such Accepted Note (a) on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such
      purchase and sale and (b) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days
      after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note and on each Business Day
      following 90 days after the prior payment hereunder, a fee (herein called the
      “Delayed
      Delivery Fee”)
      calculated as follows:

     

    (BEY
      -
      MMY) x DTS/360 X PA

     

    where
      “BEY”
means
      Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such
      Accepted Note; “MMY”
means
      Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment
      of the highest quality selected by Prudential on the date Prudential receives
      notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Note having a maturity
      date
      or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled
      Closing Days (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each
      time such closing is delayed); “DTS”
means
      Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including
      the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Note (in the case of
      the
      first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including
      the
      date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent Delayed
      Delivery Fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the
      date of such payment; and “PA”
means
      Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which
      such
      calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less
      than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase
      any
      Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note,
      as
      the same may be rescheduled in compliance with Section 2.2(h).

      If the
      Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling
      the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note that is specified
      to
      bear interest at a fixed rate of interest in the applicable Confirmation of
      Acceptance, or if Prudential or any Prudential Affiliate notifies the Company
      in
      writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.2(f)
      or the penultimate sentence of Section 2.2(h) that the closing of the purchase
      and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the
      purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the
      last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the
      last
      day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the
“Cancellation
      Date”),
      the
      Company will pay the Purchasers in immediately available funds an amount (the
      “Cancellation
      Fee”)
      calculated as follows:

     

    PI
      x
      PA

     

    where
      “PI”
means
      Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing
      (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge
      Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined
      by
      Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such
      Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA”
has
      the
      meaning ascribed to it in Section 2.2(i)(ii). The foregoing bid and ask prices
      shall be as reported by TradeWeb LLC (or, if such data for any reason ceases
      to
      be available through TradeWeb LLC, any publicly available source of similar
      market data). Each price shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no
      case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero.

      First
Closing.

     

    The
      closing of the sale and purchase of Series C Notes to be purchased by the
      Purchasers shall occur at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park Avenue,
      New York, New York 10022, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at a closing (the
“First
      Closing”)
      on
      December 22, 2006 (the “First
      Closing Date”),
      or
      such other date and place as agreed in writing by Prudential and the Company.
      At
      the First Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Series C Notes
      to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note of such Series
      (or such greater number of such Notes in denominations of at least $100,000,
      as
      the Purchasers may request), dated the First Closing Date and registered in
      such
      Purchaser’s name (or in the name of such Purchaser’s nominee), as indicated in
      Schedule A, against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order
      of
      immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor as
      directed by the Company in Schedule 3. The obligations of Prudential to enter
      into this Agreement and to make the Facility available to the Company, and
      of
      the Purchasers of the Series C Notes to purchase the Series C Notes are subject
      to the satisfaction, on or before the First Closing Date, of the conditions
      set
      forth in Section 4.1 below. If, on the First Closing Date the Company fails
      to
      tender to the Purchasers the Series C Notes to be acquired by such Purchasers
      on
      the First Closing Date, or if the conditions specified in Section 4.1 have
      not
      been fulfilled to Prudential’s or each Purchaser’s satisfaction, Prudential or
      such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations
      under this Agreement without thereby waiving any rights Prudential or each
      such
      Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such
      nonfulfillment.

      Subsequent

    The
      closing of the sale and purchase of any Series of Shelf Notes to be purchased
      by
      the Purchasers shall occur at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park
      Avenue, New York, New York 10022, (or such other place as designated by
      Prudential) at 10:00 a.m., local time, at a closing (the “Closing”)
      on the
      Closing Day specified for such sale and purchase in the Confirmation of
      Acceptance delivered by the Purchasers in connection with such Series. At such
      Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes of the Series
      to be
      purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note of such Series (or
      such
      greater number of such Notes in denominations of at least $100,000, as the
      Purchasers may request), dated the Closing Day and registered in such
      Purchaser’s name (or in the name of such Purchaser’s nominee), as indicated in
      the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance, against delivery by such Purchaser
      to
      the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the
      purchase price therefor as directed by the Company in the applicable Request
      for
      Purchase. The obligation of each Purchaser to purchase the Notes to be sold
      to
      it on any Closing Day after the First Closing Date, is subject to the
      satisfaction, on or before each such Closing Day, of the conditions set forth
      in
      Section 4.2 below. If, on such
      Closing Day,
      the
      Company fails to tender to the Purchasers the Notes to be acquired by such
      Purchasers on such Closing Day, or if the conditions specified in Section 4.2
      have not been fulfilled to each Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall,
      at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement
      without thereby waiving any rights each such Purchaser may have by reason of
      such failure or such nonfulfillment.

      free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule

      charter or by-laws, or any other Material agreement or instrument to which

      provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental

      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, would reasonably be expected to
      have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    5.8.         
      Taxes.

     

    The
      Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all income 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 payable by
      them,
      to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before
      they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount
      of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount,
      applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith
      by
      appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary,
      as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
      Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has entered into any agreement with
      the
      Internal Revenue Service tolling the statute of limitations that is currently
      in
      effect with respect to any tax returns or any taxes due in respect
      thereof.

    The

      audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.3 or purported to have been
      acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or
      otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free
      and
      clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement, except for those defects in title
      and Liens that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
      Adverse Effect. All Material leases are valid and subsisting and are in full
      force and effect in all material respects.

     

    5.10.         
      Licenses,
      Permits, etc.

      all
      licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, service
      marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that are Material, without
      known conflict with the rights of others, except for those conflicts that,
      individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse
      Effect.

    5.11.         
      Compliance
with
      ERISA.

     

    (a)         
      The
      Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in
      compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance
      as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a
      Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company 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 would reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any
      such
      liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any
      Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company 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 section 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 $3,000,000 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
      meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

     

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

     

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

     

    (e)         
      The
      execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes
      hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions
      of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed
      pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation by the
      Company in the first sentence of this Section 5.11(e) is made in reliance upon
      and subject to the accuracy of each Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as
      to the Sources of the funds to be used to pay the purchase price of the Notes
      to
      be purchased by such Purchaser.

    (f)         
      Schedule
      5.11 sets forth all ERISA Affiliates and all “employee benefit plans” maintained
      by the Company (or an “affiliate” thereof) or in respect of which the Notes
      could constitute an “employer security” (“employee benefit plan” has the meaning
      specified in section 3 of ERISA, “affiliate” has the meaning specified in
      section 407(d) of ERISA and section V of the Department of Labor Prohibited
      Transaction Exemption 95-60 (60 FR 35925, July 12, 1995) and “employer security”
has the meaning specified in section 407(d) of ERISA).

     

    5.12.         
      Private
Offering
      by the Company.

     

    At
      the
      time of the sale of the Notes, neither the Company nor any agent acting on
      its
      behalf has, directly or indirectly, offered the Notes or any similar security
      of
      the Company for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy the Notes or any similar
      security of the Company from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect
      thereto with, any Person other than Prudential and Prudential Affiliates, and
      neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take
      any action which would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the
      registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

     

    5.13.         
      Use
of
      Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

     

    The
      Company will apply the proceeds of the sale (i) of the Series C Notes as set
      forth in Schedule 5.13 and (ii) of any other Notes as set forth in any
      Request for Purchase delivered to Prudential in respect such Notes. None of
      the
      proceeds of the sale of any Notes will be used to finance a Hostile Tender
      Offer. 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 221), or for the purpose of buying or
      carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve
      the
      Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or
      to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said
      Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value
      of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company
      does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more
      than
      5% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin
      stock”
and
      “purpose
      of buying or carrying”
shall
      have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

     

    5.14.         
      Existing
Indebtedness.

     

    Except
      as
      described therein, Schedule 5.14 sets forth a complete and correct list of
      all
      outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the First
      Closing Date. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver
      of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest
      on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition
      exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary the
      outstanding principal amount of which exceeds $1,000,000 that would permit
      (or
      that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more
      Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated
      maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

    5.15.         
      Foreign
Assets
      Control Regulations, etc.

     

    Neither
      the sale of any Notes by the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds
      thereof will violate (a) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or (b)
      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. Without limiting the foregoing,
      (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or will become a blocked Person
      described by Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 24, 2001, Blocking
      Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to
      Commit, or Support Terrorism (31 CFR Part 595 et seq.) and (ii) the Company
      and
      its Subsidiaries shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to refrain from
      engaging in any dealings or transactions, or is otherwise associated, with
      any
      such Person.

     

    5.16.        
      Status
under
      Certain
      Statutes.

     

    Neither
      the Company nor any Subsidiary is (a) subject to regulation under the Investment
      Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
      2005,
      as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended or (b) in violation of the
      USA
      Patriot Act.

      pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from
      registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such
      registration nor such an exemption is required by law, and that the Company
      is
      not required to register the Notes.

      liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with

      date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the
      Transfer Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, such offered
      prepayment (equal to not less than such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net
      Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable
      on the Transfer Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at one
      hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid,
      together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued
      to
      the Transfer Prepayment Date and, in respect of all Floating Rate Shelf Notes,
      if any, to be so prepaid, any Breakage Cost Obligation to be paid in accordance
      with the provisions of Section 8.9(b).

     

    (c)

      Each
      Transfer Prepayment Offer pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be accompanied
      by a
      certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated
      the
      date of such offer, specifying (i) the Transfer Prepayment Date, (ii) the Net
      Proceeds in respect of the applicable Debt Prepayment Transfer, (iii) that
      such
      offer is being made pursuant to Section 8.4 and Section 10.3 of this Agreement,
      (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (v) the interest
      that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Transfer
      Prepayment Date, (vi) the calculation of the Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds
      in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer and (vii) in reasonable detail,
      the
      nature of the Transfer giving rise to such Debt Prepayment Transfer and
      certifying that no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after
      giving effect to the prepayment contemplated by such offer.

    (d)         
      Notice
      Concerning Status of Holders of Notes.
      Promptly after each Transfer Prepayment Date and the making of all prepayments
      contemplated on such Transfer Prepayment Date under this Section 8.4 (and,
      in
      any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter), the Company shall deliver to
      each holder of Notes a certificate signed by a Senior Financial Officer of
      the
      Company containing a list of the then current holders of Notes (together with
      their addresses) and setting forth as to each such holder the outstanding
      principal amount of Notes held by such holder at such time.

     

    8.5.         
      Allocation
of
      Partial Prepayments.

     

    In
      the
      case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the
      principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of
      the
      Notes of each Series in respect of which a prepayment is to be made at the
      time
      outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
      principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

     

    8.6.         
      Maturity;
      Surrender, etc.

     

    In
      the
      case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal
      amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on
      the
      date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount
      accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, Optional Floating
      Rate Prepayment Amount and Breakage Cost Obligation, if any. From and after
      such
      date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due
      and
      payable, together with the interest and applicable Make-Whole Amount, Optional
      Floating Rate Prepayment Amount and Breakage Cost Obligation, if any, as
      aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note
      paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and
      shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid
      principal amount of any Note.

     

    8.7.         
      Purchase
of
      Notes.

     

    The
      Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay
      or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes
      except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the
      terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase
      made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata (without regard to Series) to
      the
      holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon substantially the same terms
      and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient
      information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such
      offer, and shall remain open for at least 14 Business Days. If the holders
      of
      more than 15% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding timely
      accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders
      of
      such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of
      such
      offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such
      remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice
      to
      accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it
      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.

    8.8.         
      Make-Whole
      Amount.

     

    The
      term
“Make-Whole
      Amount”
      means,
      with respect to any Fixed Rate Note of any Series, 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 Fixed Rate Note of such Series over
      the
      amount of such Called Principal, provided
      that the
      Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of
      determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following
      meanings:

     

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

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              “Discounted
                Value”
                means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note
                of any
                Series, 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 such Series of Fixed Rate Notes is payable) equal to
                the
                Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called
                Principal.

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              “Reinvestment
                Yield”
                means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note
                of any
                Series, 0.50% 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 Market
                Service (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg
                Financial Market Service) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities
                having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
                Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are
                not
                reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are
                not
                ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported,
                for
                the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of
                the
                second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date 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 duration closest to and greater than
                the
                Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury
                security
                with the duration closest to and less than the Remaining Average
                Life. The
                Reinvestment Yield will be rounded to the number of decimals as appears
                in
                the coupon for the applicable Series of Fixed Rate
                Notes.

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

            

    

     

    
      	 	
              “Remaining
                Scheduled Payments”
                means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Fixed Rate Note
                of any
                Series, 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 Fixed Rate Notes of such Series,
                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

                to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due
                and

      Floating
Rate
      Note Shelf Provisions
      .

     

    (a)        
      Interest. Floating
      Rate Shelf Notes shall bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof, during
      each
      Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate,
      as
      applicable, in respect of such Interest Period. The LIBOR Rate in respect of
      any
      such Interest Period shall be determined (a) by Prudential so long as Prudential
      Affiliates hold at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Shelf
      Notes outstanding at such time, and (b) in all other circumstances, by the
      holder(s) of the largest aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Shelf
      Notes
      outstanding at such time. Interest on the Floating Rate Shelf Notes shall (1)
      be
      payable (w) on the last day of each Interest Period or if such Interest Period
      is longer than three (3) months, on the date which occurs three (3) months
      after
      the first day of such Interest Period, (x) on the date of any prepayment (on
      the
      amount prepaid), (y) at maturity (whether accelerated or otherwise) and (z)
      after such maturity, on demand; and (2) be computed on the actual number of
      days
      elapsed over, in the case of any Floating Rate Shelf Note bearing interest
      at
      the LIBOR Rate, a year of 360 days and, in the case of any Floating Rate Shelf
      Note bearing interest at the Prime Rate, a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
      case
      may be.

    (i)         
      The
      initial Interest Period for each Series of Floating Rate Shelf Notes shall
      be as
      provided in the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance in respect of such Series.
      Thereafter, in an irrevocable written notice received from the Company by each
      holder of a Floating Rate Shelf Note of such Series no later than 12:00 noon
      New
      York City time on the third Business Day prior to the end of an Interest Period
      with respect to any outstanding Floating Rate Shelf Note, the Company shall
      elect the next applicable Interest Period for such Shelf Note; provided,
      that
      (a) at no time may more than one Interest Period be in effect with respect
      to
      each Series of Floating Rate Shelf Notes and (b) the Company may not select
      any
      Interest Period for any Series of Floating Rate Shelf Notes that would extend
      beyond the maturity date of such Series of Shelf Notes. Such change in Interest
      Period shall be effective as of the end of the then current Interest
      Period.

     

    (ii)         
      If
      the
      Company fails to properly give any notice with respect to any outstanding
      Floating Rate Shelf Note pursuant to Section 8.9(a)(i) in a timely manner,
      the
      Company shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period of equivalent
      duration to the immediately preceding Interest Period. Promptly after the
      beginning of each Interest Period, at the written request of the Company,
      Prudential or the holder of the greatest aggregate principal amount of the
      applicable Series of Floating Rate Shelf Notes, as provided in clause (i) of
      this Section 8,9, shall notify the Company of the LIBOR Rate or Prime Rate
      for
      such Interest Period. Failure to give any such notice shall not affect the
      obligations of the Company hereunder nor create any liability on any holder
      of
      such Shelf Note. Each determination of the applicable interest rate on any
      portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Series of Floating Rate
      Shelf Notes for any Interest Period by such holder of the Shelf Notes of the
      applicable Series in accordance with this Section 8.9(a)(ii) shall be conclusive
      and binding upon the Company and all holders of such Shelf Notes absent manifest
      error.

     

    (b)         
      Breakage
      Cost Obligation.

     

    (i)         
      The
      Company agrees to indemnify each holder of any Floating Rate Shelf Notes which
      bear interest at the LIBOR Rate for, and to pay promptly to such holder upon
      written request, any amounts required to compensate such holder for any losses,
      costs or expenses sustained or incurred by such holder (including, without
      limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits and punitive
      damages), cost or expense sustained or incurred by reason of the liquidation
      or
      reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired to fund or maintain any loan
      evidenced by a Floating Rate Shelf Note) as a consequence of (a) any event
      (including any prepayment of Floating Rate Shelf Notes pursuant to Sections
      8.2,
      8.3 or 8.4 or any acceleration of Floating Rate Shelf Notes in accordance with
      Section 12.1) which results in (x) such holder receiving any amount on account
      of the principal of a Floating Rate Shelf Note prior to the end of the Interest
      Period in effect therefor or (y) the conversion of the interest rate applicable
      to any Floating Rate Shelf Note from the LIBOR Rate to the Prime Rate pursuant
      to any provision of this Section 8.9 other than on the last day of the Interest
      Period in effect therefor, (b) any default in the making of any payment or
      prepayment required to be made in respect of the Floating Rate Shelf Notes,
      or
      (c) the closing of the purchase and sale of any Floating Rate Shelf Note being
      delayed for any reason beyond the date which is ten (10) days following the
      Acceptance Day in respect of such Floating Rate Shelf Note (such amount being
      the “Breakage
      Cost Obligation”).

    (ii)         
      A
      certificate of any holder of Floating Rate Shelf Notes setting forth any amount
      or amounts which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section
      8.9(b), together with calculations in reasonable detail reflecting the basis
      for
      such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be
      conclusive absent manifest error. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Company
      agrees to pay such holder the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
      five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certificate and accompanying
      calculation.

      change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or
      administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
      interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of
      law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any holder of a Floating
      Rate Shelf Note which bears interest at the LIBOR Rate of the principal of
      or
      interest on any such Floating Rate Shelf Note or any fees, expenses or
      indemnities payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of franchise or
      other taxes imposed on the overall net income of such holder or any participant
      by the United States or the jurisdiction in which such holder or such
      participant has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing
      authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
      special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
      for
      the account of or credit extended by any holder of Floating Rate Shelf Notes
      which bear interest at the LIBOR Rate or shall impose on such holder or the
      London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or such
      Floating Rate Shelf Notes held by such holder and the result of any of the
      foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such holder of making or maintaining
      any loan at the LIBOR Rate or to reduce the amount of any payment received
      or
      receivable by such holder hereunder or under any of such Floating Rate Shelf
      Notes (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount reasonably
      deemed by such holder to be material, then, subject to Section 8.9(d) hereof,
      the Company will pay to such holder such additional amount or amounts as will
      compensate such holder for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
      

     

    (ii)         
      If
      any
      holder of a Floating Rate Shelf Note which bears interest at the LIBOR Rate
      shall have reasonably determined that the adoption after the date hereof of
      any
      law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or
      any
      change after the date hereof in any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or
      guideline (whether such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has been
      adopted before or after the date hereof) or in the interpretation or
      administration thereof, or compliance by such holder with any request or
      directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
      of
      any Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
      of
      return on such holder’s capital as a consequence of extending credit with
      respect to such Floating Rate Shelf Note to a level below that which such holder
      could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance
      (taking into consideration such holder’s policies with respect to capital
      adequacy) by an amount deemed by such holder to be material, then from time
      to
      time the Company agrees to pay to such holder, subject to Section 8.9(d) hereof
      and the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.8(c)(ii), such additional amount
      or amounts as will compensate such holder for any such reduction
      suffered.

    (iii)         
      A
      holder
      of Floating Rate Shelf Notes shall deliver to the Company, promptly after it
      has
      made a determination that any of the circumstances specified in the foregoing
      clauses (i) or (ii) apply, a certificate setting forth (a) the amount or amounts
      necessary to compensate such holder as specified in clause (i) or (ii) above,
      which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error and (b) the Prime
      Rate that would be applicable to any such Floating Rate Shelf Notes if the
      Company converts such Floating Rate Shelf Notes from the LIBOR Rate to the
      Prime
      Rate pursuant to Section 8.9(d) hereof. Subject to Section 8.9(d) hereof and
      the
      foregoing provisions of this Section 8.9(c)(iii), the Company agrees to pay
      such
      holder the amount shown as due, referred to in clause (a) of this Section
      8.9(c)(iii), on any such certificate within five (5) Business Days after its
      receipt of the same.

     

    (iv)         
      Subject
      to Section 8.9(c)(v), failure or delay on the part of any holder of Floating
      Rate Shelf Notes to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction
      in
      amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not
      constitute a waiver of such holder’s right to demand such compensation with
      respect to any period. The protection of this paragraph shall be available
      to
      any such holder regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
      inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, guideline or other
      change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.

     

    (v)         
      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.9(c) and subject to Section
      8.9(d) hereof, the Company shall only be obligated to compensate a holder of
      Floating Rate Shelf Notes for any amount described in such clauses (i) or (ii)
      arising or accruing during (a) any time period commencing not more than three
      months prior to the date on which such holder shall have notified the Company
      that such holder proposes to demand such compensation and shall have identified
      to the Company the statute, regulation or other basis upon which the claimed
      compensation is or will be based and (b) any time or period during which,
      because of the retroactive application of the statute, regulation or other
      basis, such holder did not know that such amount would arise or
      accrue.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        34

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (d)         
      Illegality. Notwithstanding
      any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change
      in
      any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental
      Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make
      it unlawful for any holder of the Floating Rate Shelf Notes to extend credit
      at
      the LIBOR Rate or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby
      with
      respect to any extension of credit at the LIBOR Rate, then (i) such holder
      shall
      promptly deliver to the Company a certificate notifying the Company of such
      circumstances and setting forth the Prime Rate that would be applicable to
      any
      such Floating Rate Shelf Notes and (ii) the obligation of such holder to extend
      credit with respect to the Floating Rate Shelf Notes at the LIBOR Rate or to
      continue extending credit at the LIBOR Rate shall forthwith be cancelled and,
      until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such holder to extend
      credit at the LIBOR Rate, such holder shall then be obligated only to extend
      credit at the Prime Rate.

     

    (e)         
      Inability
      to Determine Interest Rate.
      If one
      (1) Business Day prior to the first day of any Interest Period, any holder
      of
      Floating Rate Shelf Notes shall have determined in good faith (which
      determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that, by reason
      of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable
      means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period
      in
      accordance with the definition of “LIBOR Rate”, such holder shall give facsimile
      or telephonic notice followed by written notice thereof to the Company as soon
      as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, any outstanding Floating
      Rate Shelf Notes bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate shall be converted, at
      the
      end of the then applicable Interest Period, to bear interest at the Prime Rate.
      Each such Floating Rate Shelf Note shall continue to bear interest at the Prime
      Rate until such time as such holder has determined in good faith that adequate
      and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate. Upon any such
      determination by such holder, such holder shall promptly deliver to the Company
      written notice that circumstances causing such conversion from the LIBOR Rate
      to
      the Prime Rate have ceased, and on the first day of the next succeeding Interest
      Period (deemed to be the Interest Period of equivalent duration to the Interest
      Period elected by the Company in the most recent written notice received from
      the Company to each holder of a Floating Rate Shelf Note pursuant to Section
      8.9(a)(i)), each Floating Rate Shelf Note may, at the option of the Company,
      bear interest at the LIBOR Rate determined as originally defined
      hereby.

     

    (f)         
      Effectiveness
      of Provisions.
      The
      provisions of this Section 8.9 shall remain operative and in full force and
      effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any
      of
      the Floating Rate Shelf Notes, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term
      or
      provision of this Agreement or any Floating Rate Shelf Note, or any
      investigation made by or on behalf of any holder of Floating Rate Shelf
      Notes.

     

    (g)         
      Avoidance
      by holders of Notes.
      Each of
      the holders of the Notes agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving
      rise to the operation of Section 8.9(c) or Section 8.9(d) with respect to such
      holder it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject
      to
      overall policy considerations of such holder for any loans affected by such
      event), to avoid the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation
      of
      any such paragraph, provided
      that any
      action taken in connection with such efforts does not result in such holder
      suffering any material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Nothing
      in
      this Section 8.9(g) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the
      Company or the right of the holders of Note provided in Section 8.9(c) or
      Section 8.9(d).

              AFFIRMATIVE
                COVENANTS.

            

    

     

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

     

    9.1.         
      Compliance
with
      Law.

     

    The
      Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws,
      ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is
      subject, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and will obtain
      and
      maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other
      governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective
      properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to
      the
      extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or
      governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect
      such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental
      authorizations would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
      aggregate, to have a materially adverse effect on the business, operations,
      affairs, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company and its
      Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     

    9.2.         
      Insurance.

     

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

     

    9.3.         
      Maintenance
of
      Properties.

     

    The
      Company will, and will cause each of its 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 9.3 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
      discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if
      such
      discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company
      has
      concluded that such discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate,
      have a materially adverse effect on the business, operations, affairs, financial
      condition, properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
      a
      whole.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    9.4.         
      Payment
of
      Taxes.

     

    The
      Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all income tax
      or
      similar 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 payable by any of them,
      to
      the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before
      they have become delinquent, provided
      that
      neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment
      if
      (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company
      or
      such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings,
      and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor
      in
      accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (b)
      the
      nonpayment of all such taxes and assessments in the aggregate would not
      reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the business,
      operations, affairs, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company
      and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

     

    9.5.         
      Corporate
Existence,
      etc.

     

    The
      Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its
      corporate existence. Except as provided in Section 10.2 and Section 10.3, the
      Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the
      corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company
      or a Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company and its
      Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination
      of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate
      existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate,
      have
      a materially adverse effect on the business, operations, affairs, financial
      condition, properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
      a
      whole.

     

    9.6.         
      Subsidiary
Guarantors.

     

    (a)         
      If,
      at
      any time on or after January 31, 2007, any Subsidiary remains or becomes
      obligated under any Guaranty of Indebtedness of the Company, in an aggregate
      amount equal to or greater than $30,000,000, the Company shall cause each such
      Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor on a joint and several basis with
      all other Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guaranty as promptly as
      practicable (but in any event within 30 days) after such date, by causing each
      such Subsidiary (such Subsidiaries, collectively, the “Initial
      Subsidiary Guarantors”)
      to
      execute and deliver to the holders of the Notes a guaranty agreement (as may
      be
      amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Subsidiary
      Guaranty”),
      substantially in the form of Exhibit
      9.6(a),
      together with and such opinions of counsel, certificates accompanying
      authorizing resolutions and corporate or similar documents, and such other
      agreements, instruments and other documents as the Required Holders may
      reasonably request, each of the foregoing in form and substance reasonably
      satisfactory to the Required Holders; provided,
      however,
      that if the Company has delivered to the holders of the Notes issued under
      the
      2004 Note Purchase Agreement a request pursuant to Section 9.6(b) of the 2004
      Note Purchase Agreement, that any Subsidiary which has guaranteed the
      obligations in respect of such Notes be released from its obligations under
      such
      Guaranty (and is not subject to any other Guaranty which would require such
      Subsidiary to executed a Guaranty of the Notes issued hereunder), then the
      Company shall not be required to cause any such Subsidiary to provide a Guaranty
      pursuant to this Section 9.6(a) unless such Subsidiary remains obligated under
      such Guaranty on or after March 5, 2007, after which time the Company shall
      cause such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the terms
      of
      this Section 9.6(a) as promptly as practicable (but in any event within 30
      days)
      after March 5, 2007.

    (b)         
      At
      any
      time after any Subsidiary shall have executed and delivered the Subsidiary
      Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.6(a), the Company will cause each Subsidiary
      which has subsequently provided or does provide a Guaranty of the Indebtedness
      of the Company in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $30,000,000
      to
      become a Subsidiary Guarantor on a joint and several basis with all other
      Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guaranty as promptly as practicable
      after (but in any event within 30 days of) the date such Subsidiary first
      guaranties such Indebtedness, by causing such Subsidiary to execute and deliver
      to the holders of the Notes, (A) a
      joinder
      agreement to the Subsidiary Guaranty in accordance with the provisions
      thereof,
      and (B)
      such opinions of counsel, certificates accompanying authorizing resolutions
      and
      corporate or similar documents, and such other agreements, instruments and
      other
      documents as the Required Holders may reasonably request, each of the foregoing
      in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required
      Holders.

     

    (c)         
      At
      any
      time after any Subsidiary shall have executed and delivered the Subsidiary
      Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.6(a) or a joinder thereto pursuant to Section
      9.6(b), the holders of the Notes agree that if all of the obligations of any
      Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, whether direct or indirect, as a co-borrower,
      guarantor or otherwise, in respect of such Indebtedness of the Company as gave
      rise to obligation of such Subsidiary to deliver the Subsidiary Guaranty or
      such
      joinder shall, at any time after the First Closing Date, be terminated by the
      holders of such Indebtedness, the holders of the Notes shall, within 30 days
      of
      receipt of a written request of the Company, take such action and execute such
      documents as the Company or such Subsidiary shall reasonably request to give
      effect to the termination, release and discharge of such Subsidiary’s
      obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty so long as no Default or Event of
      Default is continuing; provided,
      however,
      that
      such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be released from its obligations as a
      Subsidiary Guarantor if in connection with the release of such Subsidiary
      Guarantor from its obligations under such Guaranty of the Indebtedness of the
      Company, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pays any consideration to the
      holders of such Indebtedness in consideration of such release, unless the
      holders of Notes are paid equivalent consideration for such release; and
provided,
      further,
      that in
      the event any such Subsidiary Guarantor shall at any time after the release
      provided for in this Section 9.6 enter into a Guaranty of, or otherwise become
      directly or indirectly liable for (whether by way of becoming a co-borrower,
      guarantor or otherwise), all or any part of the Indebtedness of the Company
      in
      an aggregate amount equal to or greater than $30,000,000, the Company will
      cause
      such Subsidiary Guarantor contemporaneously with entering into any such Guaranty
      or incurring such liability (and in any event within 30 days thereafter) to
      execute and deliver to the holders of the Notes, (A) if the Subsidiary Guaranty
      has been executed and delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 9.6(a) and
      remains in effect at such time, a
      joinder
      agreement to the Subsidiary Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of
      Section 9.6(b) above,
      and (B)
      if the Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be in effect at such time, the Subsidiary
      Guaranty in accordance with the terms of Section 9.6(a) above.

              NEGATIVE
                COVENANTS.

            

    

     

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

     

    10.1.       Transactions
with
      Affiliates.

     

    The
      Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to enter into directly
      or
      indirectly any Material 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 the Company or another Subsidiary), except pursuant to the
      reasonable requirements of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon
      fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary
      than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person
      not an Affiliate.

     

    10.2.       Merger,
      Consolidation, etc.

     

    The
      Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate
      with or merge with any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or
      substantially all of its assets or a controlling equity interest in a Subsidiary
      Guarantor in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person
      (except that a Subsidiary Guarantor may (x) consolidate with or merge with,
      or
      convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets in a single
      transaction or series of transactions to, the Company or another Subsidiary
      of
      the Company so long as in each case, the survivor of such merger or
      consolidation or the transferee of such assets shall have assumed such Guaranty
      and (y) convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets
      (including any such transaction effected by means of a merger or consolidation
      of such Subsidiary Guarantor with or into another Person) in compliance with
      the
      provisions of Section 10.3), provided
      that the
      foregoing restriction does not apply to the consolidation or merger of the
      Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor with the Company or another Subsidiary
      Guarantor, or the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all
      of
      the assets of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, or a controlling equity
      interest in a Subsidiary Guarantor, in a single transaction or series of
      transactions to any Person so long as:

     

    (a)         
      the
      successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the
      Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially
      all
      of the assets of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, or a controlling
      equity interest in a Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be (the “Successor
      Corporation”),
      shall
      be a solvent entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States
      or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia);

     

    (b)         
      if
      the
      Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor is party to such transaction and is not the
      Successor Corporation, such Person shall (i) have executed and delivered to
      each
      holder of Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and
      observance of each covenant and condition of such Obligor, as the case may
      be,
      under the applicable Financing Documents in form and substance satisfactory
      to
      the Required Holders and (ii) have caused to be delivered to each holder of
      any
      Notes an opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders 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
      respective terms and comply with the terms hereof;

    (c)         
      to
      the
      extent the Company is a party and is not the surviving Person of such
      transaction, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to
      each
      holder of Notes its reaffirmation of its obligations under the Subsidiary
      Guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders;
      and

     

    (d)         
      immediately
      after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall
      have occurred and be continuing, to be determined on a Pro Forma Basis with
      respect to compliance with Sections 10.5 and 10.6, and the Company shall have
      delivered to each holder of the Notes computations evidencing compliance with
      such Sections.

     

    No
      such
      conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of
      any
      Obligor shall have the effect of releasing such Obligor or any Successor
      Corporation that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed
      in
      this Section 10.2 from its liability under the applicable Financing
      Documents.

     

    10.3.      Sale
of
      Assets.

     

    Except
      as
      permitted under Section 10.2, the Company will not, and will not permit any
      Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

     

    (a)         
      in
      the
      good faith opinion of the Company, the Asset Disposition is in exchange for
      consideration having a Fair Market Value at least equal to that of the property
      exchanged and is in the best interest of the Company or such
      Subsidiary
      provided,
      however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to engage
      in
      Asset Dispositions that are in the best interest of the disposing Person,
      regardless of whether such Person receives Fair Market Value for the property
      subject thereto, so long as the aggregate Disposition Value of
      all property subject to any such Asset Disposition in any fiscal year
      is not in excess of the amount equal to 2% of Consolidated Total Assets
      (determined as of the end of the then most recently ended fiscal year of the
      Company);

     

    (b)         
      immediately
      after giving effect to the Asset Disposition, no Default or Event of Default
      would exist; and

     

    (c)         
      immediately
      after giving effect to the Asset Disposition, the Disposition Value of all
      property that was the subject of any Asset Disposition occurring in the then
      current fiscal year of the Company would not exceed the amount equal to 15%
      of
      Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the end of the then most recently
      ended fiscal year of the Company); provided,
      however
      that the
      Company shall at all times be in compliance with the provision of Section
      10.12.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    If
      an
      amount equal to the Net Proceeds arising from any Asset Disposition is applied
      by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary to a Debt Prepayment Application
      or
      a Property Reinvestment Application within 365 days after the date of such
      Asset
      Disposition, then such Asset Disposition, only for the purpose of determining
      compliance with subsection (c) of this Section 10.3 as of any date, shall be
      deemed not to be an Asset Disposition as of the date of such
      application.

      with the incurrence of Indebtedness and rights of set-off incurred in the
      ordinary course of business and which do not, in the aggregate, materially
      impair the use of such property in the operation of the business of the Company
      and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the value of such property for the
      purposes of such business (including without limitation, contingent liens
      arising in favor of insurance carriers under agency agreements with the Company
      or any Subsidiary;

      of
      the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries or which customarily exist

      materially impair their use in operations of the business of the Company and
      its
      Subsidiaries;

      into or consolidated with the Company or a Subsidiary or such asset is

      thereon) which is an improvement to or is acquired for specific use in
      connection with such acquired or constructed property (or improvement thereon);
      and

     

    (iii)         
      any
      such
      Lien shall be created contemporaneously with, or within 180 days after, the

                DEFAULT,
                ETC.

            

    

     

    12.1.       Acceleration.

     

    (a)         
      If
      an
      Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g) or
      11(h)
      (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 and the
      Facility shall be terminated.

     

    (b)         
      If
      any
      other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders
      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 and the
      Facility shall be terminated.

     

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

     

    Upon
      any
      Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically
      or
      by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal
      amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and
      (y)
      the applicable Make-Whole Amount or Breakage Cost Obligation, if any, determined
      in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable
      law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without
      presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived.
      The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of
      a
      Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment
      by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the
      provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount or Breakage Cost Obligation by
      the
      Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result
      of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation
      of such right under such circumstances.

     

    12.2.      Other
Remedies.

     

    If
      any
      Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective
      of
      whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable
      under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed
      to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit
      in
      equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance
      of
      any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against
      a
      violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise
      of
      any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

    12.3.      Rescission.

     

    At
      any
      time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause
      (b)
      or (c) of Section 12.1, the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company,
      may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the
      Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and
      Make-Whole Amount
      or
      Breakage Cost Obligation,
      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 applicable
      Make-Whole Amount or Breakage Cost Obligation, if any, and (to the extent
      permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of any Series
      of
      the Notes, at the Default Rate for such Series, (b) all Events of Default and
      Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by
      reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to
      Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment
      of
      any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment
      under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default
      or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     

    12.4.      No
      Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses,
      etc.

     

    No
      course
      of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising
      any
      right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice
      such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by
      this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of
      any
      other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter
      available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the
      obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder
      of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
      all
      costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection
      under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees, expenses and disbursements.

    13.1.      Registration
of
      Notes.

     

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

    13.2.      Transfer
and
      Exchange of Notes.

     

    The
      Notes
      are issuable as registered notes without coupons in denominations of at least
      $1,000,000, except as may be necessary to reflect any principal amount not
      evenly divisible by $1,000,000. The Company shall keep at its principal office
      a
      register in which the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and
      of
      transfers of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address
      and
      to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18)
      for
      registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for
      registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
      of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or its attorney
      duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each
      transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver,
      at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of an
      identical Series and of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the
      name of such transferee or transferees, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
      At the option of the holder of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other
      Notes of like tenor and of any authorized denominations (subject in each case
      to
      the first sentence of this Section 13.2) of a like aggregate principal amount,
      upon surrender of the Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the
      Company. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder
      may
      request and shall be substantially in the form of Notes for such Series set
      forth in the applicable Exhibit. Each installment of principal payable on each
      installment date upon each new Note issued upon any such transfer or exchange
      shall be in the same proportion to the unpaid principal amount of such new
      Note
      as the installment of principal payable on such date on the Note surrendered
      for
      registration of transfer or exchange bore to the unpaid principal amount of
      such
      Note. No reference need be made in any such new Note to any installment or
      installments of principal previously due and paid upon the Note surrendered
      for
      registration of transfer or exchange. Any Note or Notes issued in exchange
      for
      any Note or upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest
      and
      interest to accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred,
      so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer
      or
      exchange. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
      stamp
      tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes.
      Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000,
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 $100,000.
      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
      Company regarding the Note or participation as the Purchasers have made pursuant
      to Section 6.2, provided
      that
      such entity may (in reliance upon information provided by the Company, 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.

     

    13.3.      Replacement
of
      Notes.

     

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

     

    (a)         
      in
      the
      case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
      it
      (provided
      that if
      the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or
      another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $100,000,000,
      such
      Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be
      satisfactory), or

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

     

    the
      Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
      Note of the same 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.

    Subject
      to Section 14.2, payments of principal, applicable Make-Whole Amount or Breakage
      Cost Obligation, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes
      shall be made in Daytona Beach, Florida at the principal office of the Company
      in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder
      of a
      Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment
      shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or
      the
      principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

    So
      long
      as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and
      notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the
      contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal,
      applicable Make-Whole Amount or Breakage Cost Obligation, if any, and interest
      by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such
      Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address
      as such Purchaser 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, such Purchaser 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 any Purchaser or its nominee such Purchaser will, at its
      election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the
      last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to
      the
      Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The
      Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional
      Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by
      such
      Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating
      to
      such Note as such Purchaser has made in this Section 14.2.

    15.1.     Transaction
Expenses.

     

    Whether
      or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company will
      pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special
      counsel and, if reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by each
      Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in
      connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of
      this
      Agreement, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty (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, the Notes or any
      Subsidiary Guaranty or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process
      or
      informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the
      Notes or any Subsidiary Guaranty, or by reason of being a holder of any Note,
      and (b) the costs and expenses, including reasonable financial advisors’ fees,
      incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or
      any
      Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the
      transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes. The Company will pay, and
      will save each Purchaser 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 any Purchaser).

    15.2.     Survival.

     

    The
      obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will survive the payment or
      transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision
      of
      this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

              SURVIVAL
OF
                REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE
                AGREEMENT.

            

    

     

    All
      representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution
      and
      delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any
      Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment
      of
      any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless
      of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or
      any
      other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other
      instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement
      shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this
      Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes
      embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the
      Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the
      subject matter hereof.

              AMENDMENT
AND
                WAIVER.

            

    

     

    17.1.     Requirements.

     

    This
      Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof
      or
      of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and
      only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except
      that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 1, 2,
      3, 4,
      5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be
      effective as to any holder unless consented to by such holder 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
      Make-Whole Amount, Optional Floating Rate Prepayment Amount or Breakage Cost
      Obligation, as applicable, in respect of any Series of the Notes, (ii) change
      the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are
      required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of
      Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20.

    17.2.     Solicitation
of
      Holders of Notes.

     

    (a)         
      Solicitation.
      The
      Company will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of
      Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance
      of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed
      and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or
      consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Company
      will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver
      or
      consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder
      of
      outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and
      delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders
      of
      Notes.

     

    (b)         
      Payment.
      The
      Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any
      remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or
      otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder
      of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any
      holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions
      hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
      concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently provided, on the
      same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder
      did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

     

    17.3.    Binding
Effect,
      etc.

     

    Any
      amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally
      to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder
      of
      any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been
      marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will
      extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of
      Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.
      No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any
      delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as
      a
      waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term
“this
      Agreement”
      and
      references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be
      amended or supplemented.

     

    17.4.    Notes
held
      by Company, etc.

     

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

      registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid),

      specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as
      such Purchaser or its nominee shall have specified to the Company in

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

     

    (iii)         
      if
      to the
      Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to
      the
      attention of Cory T. Walker, with a copy to the attention of Laurel Grammig,

              REPRODUCTION
OF
                DOCUMENTS.

            

    

     

    This
      Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation,
      (a)
      consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b)
      documents received by any Purchaser at each Closing (except the Notes
      themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information
      previously or hereafter furnished to the holders of Notes, may be reproduced
      by
      the holders of the Notes by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard,
      miniature photographic or other similar process and the holders of Notes may
      destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates
      that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall
      be
      admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative
      proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not
      such
      reproduction was made by such holder in the regular course of business) and
      any
      enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall
      likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the
      Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction
      to
      the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence
      to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

              CONFIDENTIAL
                INFORMATION.

            

    

     

    For
      the
      purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential
      Information”
means
      information delivered to Prudential or any Purchaser by or on behalf of the
      Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated
      by or
      otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that
      was
      clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received
      by
      Prudential or such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company
      or
      such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that
      (a)
      was publicly known or otherwise known to Prudential or such Purchaser prior
      to
      the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through
      no
      act or omission by Prudential or such Purchaser or any Person acting on
      Prudential’s or such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to
      Prudential or such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or
      any
      Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser
      under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Prudential and each
      Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information
      in
      accordance with procedures adopted by such Person in good faith to protect
      confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided
      that Prudential and such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential
      Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
      attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates
      to
      the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its
      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 it sells or offers 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 it offers to purchase any security
      of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of
      such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section
      20),
      (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over
      Prudential or such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any
      similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires
      access to information about such Purchaser’s 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 Prudential or such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena
      or
      other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which Prudential
      or such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and
      is
      continuing, to the extent Prudential or such Purchaser 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 such Purchaser’s Notes
      and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will
      be
      deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of
      this
      Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request
      by
      the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of
      information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or
      requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement
      or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company
      embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

     

    
      	
              21.

            	
              SUBSTITUTION
OF
                PURCHASER.

            

    

     

    Each
      Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the
      purchaser of the Notes that such Purchaser has agreed to purchase hereunder,
      by
      written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such
      Purchaser 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 “Purchaser” is used in this
      Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer
      to
      such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such
      Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate
      thereafter transfers to such Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such
      Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever
      the
      word “Purchaser” 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
      such Purchaser, and such Purchaser shall have all the rights of an original
      holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

              22.

            	
              MISCELLANEOUS.

            

    

     

    22.1.    Successors
and
      Assigns.

     

    All
      covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf
      of
      any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
      successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder
      of
      a Note) whether so expressed or not.

     

    22.2.    Payments
Due
      on Non-Business Days.

     

    Anything
      in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without
      limiting any requirement in Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 that the notice of any
      prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), (a)
      any payment of principal of or applicable Make-Whole Amount or interest on
      any
      Fixed Rate Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made
      on
      the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed
      in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business
      Day;
      provided that if the maturity date of any Fixed Rate Note is a date other than
      a
      Business Day the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made
      on
      the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed
      in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day
      and
      (b) any payment of principal of or applicable Optional Floating Rate Prepayment
      Amount or Breakage Cost Obligation or interest on any Floating Rate Shelf Note
      that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next
      succeeding Business Day (or immediately preceding Business Day, with respect
      to
      any Note subject to a LIBOR Rate in certain instances described in Section
      8.9),
      and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest
      payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

     

    22.3.    Severability.

     

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

     

    22.4.    Construction.

     

    Each
      covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the
      contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so
      that
      compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary
      provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any
      provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such
      Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether
      such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

    22.5.    Counterparts.

     

    This
      Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each
      counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than
      all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

     

    22.6.    Governing
Law.

     

    THIS
      AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS
      OF
      THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING
      CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE
      APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.
