None of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any Debt which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is currently a margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute the sale or purchase of any Notes a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U.  No Issuer is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.  Neither any Issuer nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any Note to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or any other regulation of the 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect.
1.9Paragraph 10A is amended to add the following new definition of “Applicable Reinvestment Yield Percentage” in proper sequence and to amend and restate the definition of “Reinvestment Yield” in its entirety as follows:
“Applicable Reinvestment Yield Percentage” shall mean 1.00% with respect to Series A Notes and Series B Notes, and 0.50% with respect to Series C Notes.
“Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the Applicable Reinvestment Yield Percentage with respect to such Note over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the ask-side yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City local time) on the Business Day next preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal for the most recent actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date on the display designated as “Page PX1” on Bloomberg Financial Markets (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets or, if Bloomberg Financial Markets shall cease to report such yields or shall cease to be Prudential Capital Group’s customary source of information for calculating yield-maintenance amounts on privately placed notes, then such source as is then Prudential Capital Group’s customary source of such information), or (ii) if such yields shall not be reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time shall not be ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields shall have been so reported as of the Business Day next preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release 11.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In the case of each determination under clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, such implied yield shall 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 applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to that number of decimal places as appears in the coupon of the applicable Note.
1.10Paragraph 10B is amended to add in proper sequence or to amend and restated, as applicable, the following definitions:
