The Company has authorized the issue and sale of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.05% Senior Notes due June 18, 2020 (the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by you and the Company. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement. Subject to Section 22, the Notes will be guaranteed by each domestic Subsidiary that is now or in the future becomes a borrower under the Credit Agreement or a signatory to the Bank Guaranties (individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) pursuant to a guaranty substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”).

2.	SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to you and each of the other purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Other Purchasers”), and you and the Other Purchasers will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite your names in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. Your obligation hereunder and the obligations of the Other Purchasers are several and not joint obligations and you shall have no liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance by any Other Purchaser hereunder.

CLOSING.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by you and the Other Purchasers shall occur at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022 at 9:00 a.m., New York time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on June 18, 2010 or on such other Business Day thereafter on or prior to June 18, 2010 as may be agreed upon by the Company and you and the Other Purchasers. At the Closing the Company will deliver to you the Notes to be purchased by you in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as you may request) dated the date of the Closing and registered in your name (or in the name of your nominee), against delivery by you to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company to account number 9429 1585 49 at Bank of America, New York, New York, ABA No. 026-009-593. If at the Closing the Company fails to tender such Notes to you as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to your satisfaction, you shall, at your election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights you may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as disclosed under the caption “Business–Product Liability, Environmental and Other Litigation Matters” in the Form 10-K, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including Environmental Laws and the USA Patriot Act) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.9.

Taxes.

The Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for the filing of any tax returns of which the failure to file, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except for the payment of any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to

which the Company or a consolidated Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate.

(b) to the best knowledge of the Company, no product of the Company infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person; and

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

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

(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 would not reasonably be expected to result a Material Adverse Effect.

The representation by the Company in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of your representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by you.

5.14.

Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

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

Such list is complete and correct in all material respects. 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 Material Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Material Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.3.

5.16.

Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Anti-Terrorism Order, etc.

(a) Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, (ii) 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 or (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, the Anti-Terrorism Order. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (A) is a blocked Person described in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (B) engages in any dealings or transactions, or is otherwise associated, with any such Person.

(b) No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, assuming in all cases that such Act applies to the Company.

The Company and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof the Company has reasonably concluded that, except as disclosed in the Form 10-K, such Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation.

8.3.

Allocation of Partial Prepayments.

In the case of each partial prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

8.4.

Maturity; Surrender, etc.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, 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 canceled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Purchase of Notes.

The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, 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.

8.6.

Make-Whole Amount.

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

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

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

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as the “PX1 Screen” on the

Bloomberg Financial Market Service (or such other display as may replace the PX1 Screen 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 maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.

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

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

9.2.

Insurance.

The Company will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary 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.

9.5.

Corporate Existence, etc.

Acceleration.

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

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

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

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (y) any applicable Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. 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 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 holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and any Make-Whole Amount on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and any Make-Whole Amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes.

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.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. 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.

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

The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by you in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

20.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to you 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 you 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 you prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by you or any Person acting on your behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to you other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to you under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. You will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by you in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to you, provided that you may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) your directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by your Notes), (ii) your financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which you sell or offer to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you, (vi) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about your investment portfolio or (vii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to you, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which you are a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent you may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under your Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Holder and any transferee agrees that it will not trade any securities (other than the Notes) of the Company based on any material non-public information it receives in connection with this Agreement and the Notes.

21.	SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

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

22.	RELEASE OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR.

You and each subsequent holder of a Note agree to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty (i) if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be such as a result of a Disposition permitted by Section 10.4 or 10.5, or (ii) at such time as the banks party to the Credit Agreement release such Subsidiary as a borrower under the Credit Agreement and/or as a guarantor under the Bank Guaranties; provided, however, that you and each subsequent holder will not be required to release a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty upon such Subsidiary’s release from the Bank Guaranties if (A) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) such Subsidiary Guarantor is to become a borrower under the Credit Agreement, or (C) such release is part of a plan of financing that contemplates such Subsidiary Guarantor guaranteeing any other Debt of the Company. Such Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from the Subsidiary Guaranty upon the delivery to the holders of the Notes of a certificate from a Senior Financial Officer stating that the requirements of this Section 22 have been met. If any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Debt of the Company expressly for the purpose of such release, holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration.

23.	MISCELLANEOUS.

23.1.

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.

23.2.

Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

23.3.

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.

23.4.

Construction.

(a) 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.

(b) All accounting terms which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in this Agreement, and the Required Holders or the Company shall so request, the Required Holders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Holders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Required Holders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants, or the determination of financial terms, contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Debt using fair value (as permitted by “the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure topic of the Financial Standards Board Standards Codification (Topic 820)” or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made instead using the par value of such Debt.

23.5.

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.

23.6.

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 Commonwealth of Massachusetts excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such Commonwealth that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such Commonwealth.

* * * * *

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

McCartney, Chief Financial Officer of the Company as to certain other matters (the “Officer’s Certificate” and together with the Investment Company Act Certificate, the “Officer’s Certificates”).

The documents referred to in clauses (a)-(c) above are referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents.” Watts Regulator, Dormont, Webster and WWQCP are referred to individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors.” The Company and the Guarantors are referred to individually as an “Obligor” and collectively as the “Obligors.” The Company, Watts Regulator and WWQCP are referred to individually as a “DE/MA Obligor” and collectively as the “DE/MA Obligors.”

In our examination of the documents described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competence of all individuals, the completeness and accuracy of all corporate records provided to us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all copies of documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have not reviewed the corporate minute books of any of the Obligors.

In rendering this opinion, we have relied, as to all questions of fact material to this opinion, upon certificates of public officials and officers of the Obligors, upon the representations made to us

by one or more officers or employees of the Obligors, upon the representations and warranties of the Obligors and the Purchasers in the Transaction Documents and upon the Officer’s Certificates of the Company referred to in clause (k) above. We have not conducted any independent investigation of, or attempted to verify independently, such factual matters. We have not conducted a search of any electronic databases or the dockets of any court, administrative or regulatory body or agency in any jurisdiction.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the Transaction Documents and all other instruments executed and delivered in connection therewith have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto other than the DE/MA Obligors, and that all such other parties have all requisite power and authority, and have taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver, and to perform their obligations under, the Transaction Documents and all other instruments executed and delivered in connection therewith, and (ii) no consent, approval, authorization, declaration or filing by or with any governmental commission, board or agency is required by any party to the Transaction Documents other than the DE/MA Obligors for the valid execution and delivery of, and performance of their obligations under, such documents. We have also assumed that each of the Transaction Documents and all other instruments executed and delivered in connection therewith is the valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other than the Obligors and is enforceable against such other parties in accordance with its respective terms. We do not render any opinion as to the application of or compliance with any federal or state law or regulation to the power, authority or competence of any party to the Transaction Documents other than the DE/MA Obligors.

We are opining herein solely as to the state laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the statute codified as 8 Del. C. §§ 101-398 and known as the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL Statute”), and the federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent that any other laws govern any of the matters as to which we are opining herein, we have assumed for the purposes of this opinion, with your permission and without investigation, that such laws are identical to the state laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and we express no opinion as to whether such assumption is reasonable or correct. We express no opinion herein with respect to compliance by the Obligors with state securities or "blue sky" laws or with any state or federal anti-fraud laws. We have also assumed that in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes, none of the Obligors nor any person acting on their behalf has engaged in any form of “general solicitation or general advertising” within the meaning contemplated by Rule 502(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below, insofar as they relate to the legal existence and good standing of the Obligors, are based solely upon the certificates referred to in clause (j) above, are rendered as of the respective dates of such certificates, and are limited accordingly. We express no opinion as to the tax good standing of any of the Obligors in any jurisdiction.

For the purposes of the opinions contained in paragraph 9 below, we are relying solely on the facts set forth in the Investment Company Act Certificate referred to in clause (k) above. For the purposes of the opinions contained in paragraph 10 below, we have assumed that the Company shall at all times be in compliance with Section 5.14 of the Agreement.

Our opinions below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) statutory or decisional law concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice or hearing, (iii) duties and standards imposed on creditors and parties to contracts, including, without limitation, requirements of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and (iv) general principles of equity, including the availability of any equitable or specific remedy, or the successful assertion of any equitable defense. We assume that (i) there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, or fraud, duress or undue influence in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Transaction Documents, and (ii) there are and have been no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is and has been no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, vary, supplement or qualify the terms of the Transaction Documents. We also express no opinion herein as to any provision of any Transaction Document (a) which may be deemed or construed to waive any right of any Obligor, (b) to the effect that rights and remedies are not exclusive, and to the effect that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy and does not preclude recourse to one or more other rights or remedies, (c) relating to the effect of invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of a Transaction Document on the validity or enforceability of any other provision thereof, (d) requiring the payment of penalties, consequential damages or liquidated damages, (e) which is in violation of public policy, (f) which provides that the terms of any Transaction Document may not be waived or modified except in writing, (g) relating to choice of law or consent to jurisdiction, (h) purporting to establish evidentiary standards, or (i) purporting to charge interest on interest.

We have assumed for the purposes of our opinion that each Purchaser is subject to control, regulation or examination by a state or federal regulatory agency within the meaning of Section 49(e) of Chapter 271 of the Massachusetts General Laws or is in compliance with Section 49(d) of Chapter 271 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The opinions expressed below are qualified to the extent that a Purchaser could be barred from maintaining an action or obtaining a recovery in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts if such Purchaser is transacting business therein (within the meaning of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 156D) without complying with the requirements of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 156D.

For purposes of our opinions rendered below, and without limiting any other comments and qualifications set forth herein, insofar as they relate to the enforceability against the Guarantors, we have assumed that each Guarantor has received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration in exchange for its obligations or undertakings in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and that prior to and after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each Guarantor is not insolvent, rendered insolvent or left with unreasonably small capital within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 548 and Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 109A, § 1 et seq. With respect to our opinions below, we have assumed that the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby is necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business and the carrying out of the business and affairs of the Company and of each Guarantor under the DGCL Statute § 122(13) or Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter. 156D §3.02(b), as applicable.

For purposes of our opinions rendered below, we have assumed that the facts and law governing the future performance by each of the Obligors of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents will be identical to the facts and law governing its performance on the date of this opinion.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

Each of the Company and WWQCP is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Delaware. Watts Regulator is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Dormont is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Webster is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Hampshire. Each of the DE/MA Obligors has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is, to our knowledge, currently conducted.

Each DE/MA Obligor has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

The execution, delivery and performance by each DE/MA Obligor of each Transaction Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such DE/MA Obligor.

Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by each Obligor party thereto, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its respective terms.

Based on the representations set forth in the Agreement, the offer, issuance and sale of the Notes and the delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and do not require qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

Except for the Company’s filing in a timely manner of a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Form D Filing”), no authorization, approval or consent of, and no designation, filing, declaration, registration and/or qualification with, any U.S. federal or Massachusetts state governmental or regulatory authority or agency is required on the part of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, or the offer, issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes, and, except for the Form D Filing, no authorization, approval or consent of, and no designation, filing, declaration, registration and/or qualification with, any U.S. federal or Massachusetts state governmental or regulatory authority or agency is required on the part of any Guarantor in connection with the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty by any Guarantor or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

The documents specified in clauses (i) through (iii) hereof, inclusive, are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Financing Documents.” This opinion is based entirely upon our examination of the documents listed in the preceding paragraph and we have made no other documentary review or investigation for purposes of this opinion. Based on such investigation as we have deemed appropriate, the opinions referred to in clauses (vii) and (viii) above are satisfactory in form and scope to us, and, in our opinion, you are justified in relying thereon.

As to all matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied, with the Purchasers’ permission, entirely upon (1) the representations and warranties of the Obligors and the Purchasers set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, and (2) the correctness of all statements set forth in the certificates described in clauses (iv) through (vi) above and the Offeree Letter, and we have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of such representations, warranties and statements.

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by us in original or copy form, the legal competence of each individual executing any document and, except for such matters as are expressly provided in paragraph (h) as to which we render our opinions in paragraph 1 below, that each Person executing the Financing Documents validly exists, has the power, authority and legal right under its articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws or operating agreement and other governing organizational documents, and under applicable corporate or other enterprise legislation and other applicable laws, as the case may be, to enter into and perform its obligations under the Financing Documents, and is qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and each jurisdiction where such qualification is required generally or is necessary in order for such party to enforce its rights under such documents, and that such documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and, as to Persons other than the Obligors, are binding upon and enforceable against, such Persons.

For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary. This opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by courts located in Massachusetts without regard to choice of law, the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the federal laws of the United States of America (in each case, except for federal and state tax, energy, utilities, national security, anti-terrorism, anti-

money laundering or antitrust laws, as to which we express no opinion in this letter), and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. Our opinion in paragraph 5 below is based solely on a review of the Company’s Governing Documents. We have not made any analysis of the internal substantive law of Delaware, including statutes, rules or regulations or any interpretations thereof by any court, administrative body, or other Governmental Authority, and we express no opinion in paragraph 5 below as to the internal substantive law of Delaware. We note that the Financing Documents contain provisions stating they are to be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No opinion is given herein as to any choice of law provision, or otherwise as to the choice of law or internal substantive rules of law that any court or other tribunal may apply to the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents. Except as set forth in paragraph 4 below, we express no opinions as to any securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction.

Our opinion is further subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions, all of which we understand to be acceptable to the Purchasers:

(a) We have assumed without any independent investigation (i) that the execution, delivery and performance by each of the parties thereto of the Financing Documents do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or result in a violation of, or constitute a default or require any consent (other than such consents as have been duly obtained) under, any organizational document (other than the Company's Governing Documents) of the Company, any order, judgment, arbitration award or stipulation, or any agreement, to which any of such parties is a party or is subject or by which any of the properties or assets of any of such parties is bound, (ii) that the statements regarding delivery and receipt of documents and funds referred to in the Cross Receipt between the Purchasers and the Company are true and correct, and (iii) that the Financing Documents are valid and binding obligations of each party thereto to the extent that laws other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are relevant thereto (other than the laws of the United States of America, but only to the limited extent the same may be applicable to the Obligors and relevant to our opinions expressed below).

(b) The enforcement of any obligations of any Person under the Financing Documents or otherwise may be limited by or subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, marshaling or other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally of creditors’ rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers

of debtors’ or guarantors’ rights), and we express no opinion as to the status under any fraudulent conveyance laws or fraudulent transfer laws of any of the obligations of any Person, whether under the Financing Documents or otherwise.

(d) The enforcement of any of the Purchasers’ rights may in all cases be subject to an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and will be subject to a duty to act in a commercially reasonable manner.

(e) We express no opinion as to the effect of suretyship defenses, or defenses in the nature thereof, with respect to the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or any other applicable guarantor, joint obligor, surety, accommodation party or other secondary obligor.

(f) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any particular provision of any of the Financing Documents relating to or constituting (i) waivers of rights to object to jurisdiction or venue, consents to jurisdiction or venue, or waivers of rights to (or methods of) service of process, (ii) waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments, or counterclaims, (iii) waiver or variations of legal provisions or rights that are not capable of waiver or variation under applicable law, (iv) exculpation or exoneration clauses, clauses relating to rights of indemnity or contribution, and clauses relating to releases or waivers of unmatured claims or rights or (v) the imposition or collection of interest or overdue interest or providing for a penalty rate of interest or late charges on overdue or defaulted obligations, or the payment of any premium, liquidated damages, or other amounts which may be held by an court to be a “penalty” or “forfeiture.”

(g) Our opinion in paragraph 6 below is based solely on a review of generally applicable federal laws of the United States of America and on the opinion of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP referred to in clause (vii) above as to generally applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and not on any search with respect to, or review of, any orders, decrees, judgments or other determinations specifically applicable to any Obligor.

We assume each Purchaser (i) has not knowingly contracted for, charged, taken or received, directly or indirectly, interest and expenses (as such terms are used in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 271, Section 49) the aggregate of which exceeds twenty percent per annum or the equivalent rate for a longer or shorter period upon the applicable sum loaned by it to the Company and (ii) is subject to control, regulation or examination by a state or federal regulation authority within the meaning of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 271, Section 49.

(i) We express no opinion as to the effect of events, acts or omissions occurring, circumstances arising, or changes of law becoming effective or occurring after the date hereof on the matters addressed in this opinion letter, and we assume no responsibility to inform you of additional or changed facts, or changes in law, of which we may become aware.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to issue the Notes.

2. The Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes constitute the legal, valid and binding agreements of, the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

3. The Subsidiary Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of each Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

4. The offer, sale and delivery of the Notes and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty by the applicable Obligors each on the date hereof do not require the registration of the Notes or the Subsidiary Guaranty under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, nor the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

WHEREAS, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all or a substantial portion of the issued and outstanding capital stock or partnership interests of each Guarantor and, by virtue of such ownership and otherwise, each Guarantor will derive substantial benefits from the issuance and sale of the Company’s Notes;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Holders to purchase the Notes that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty to the Holders; and

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

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

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

SECTION 2. Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holders the due, prompt and complete payment by the Company of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on, and each other amount due under, the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by declaration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement (the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement being sometimes

Exhibit B-1 - 1

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

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

(a) any termination, amendment or modification of or deletion from or addition or supplement to or other change in any of the Note Documents or any other instrument or agreement applicable to any of the parties to any of the Note Documents;

(b) any furnishing or acceptance of any security, or any release of any security, for the Obligations, or the failure of any security or the failure of any person to perfect any interest in any collateral;

(c) any failure, omission or delay on the part of the Company to conform or comply with any term of any of the Note Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to in paragraph (a) above, including, without limitation, failure to give notice to any Guarantor of the occurrence of a “Default” or an “Event of Default” under any Note Document;

Exhibit B-1 - 2

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

(e) any failure, omission or delay on the part of any of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on such Holder in this Guaranty, or any such failure, omission or delay on the part of such Holder in connection with any Note Document, or any other action on the part of such Holder;

(f) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, receivership, conservatorship, custodianship, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings with respect to the Company, any Guarantor or to any other person or any of their respective properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding;

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

(h) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Guarantor into or with any other corporation, or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of the Company or any Guarantor to any other person;

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

(j) any release or discharge, by operation of law, of any Guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty; or

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

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

Exhibit B-1 - 3

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

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

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

Exhibit B-1 - 4

and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes and all other Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if any Holder had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement or other applicable Note Document, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest thereon and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

SECTION 8. Term of Agreement. This Guaranty and all guaranties, covenants and agreements of each Guarantor contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until the earlier to occur of (i) such time as all of the Obligations shall be paid and performed in full and all of the agreements of such Guarantor hereunder shall be duly paid and performed in full and (ii) such Guarantor is released by the Holders.

(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, credit agreement, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other agreement evidencing Debt, (ii) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor under, any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its properties may be bound or affected, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(g) such Guarantor (after giving due consideration to any rights of contribution) has received fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the incurrence of its obligations hereunder or as contemplated hereby and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein, (i) the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor (both at fair valuation and at present fair saleable value) exceeds its liabilities, (ii) such Guarantor is able to and expects to be able to pay its debts as they mature, and (iii) such Guarantor has capital sufficient to carry on its business as conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
