Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Offer. If there is any conflict between capitalized terms defined in this Agreement and the Offer, such terms shall have the meaning provided in the Offer.

The Company hereby appoints Global Bondholder Services Corporation to act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent”) and information agent (the “Information Agent”) in connection with the Offer. References hereinafter to “you” or “your” shall refer to Global Bondholder Services Corporation.

1) Exchange of Notes. In your capacity as Exchange Agent, you will receive tenders of Old Notes and revocations of tenders of Old Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are authorized to accept such tenders of Old Notes and revocations of tenders of Old Notes in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and to act in accordance with the following instructions:

(a) Tenders of Old Notes may be made only as set forth in the section of the Offer to Exchange entitled “The Exchange Offer” and as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. Old Notes shall be considered validly tendered only if:

	(i)		you receive a Confirmation relating to such Old Notes prior to the Expiration Date; and

	(ii)		the Company has determined that the items received are adequate pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement.

(b) For the purpose of this Agreement: (i) a “Confirmation” means (A) an Agent’s Message confirming the book-entry transfer of Old Notes into a designated account at The Depository Trust Company (the “Book Entry Transfer Facility”), (B) the delivery of Old Notes in certificate form and either an Agent’s Message or a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) relating thereto, or (C) if expressly authorized by the Offer, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, in form and substance acceptable to the Company, from an Eligible Institution guaranteeing delivery of Old Notes prior to the time stated in the Offer for tendering Old Notes or at a time otherwise acceptable to the Company; (ii) an “Agent’s Message” means a message (including a printout generated by a computer terminal) transmitted by electronic means by the Book Entry Transfer Facility, in accordance with the normal procedures of the Book Entry Transfer Facility and the Exchange Agent, to and received by the Exchange Agent, which states that the Book Entry Transfer Facility has received an express and unconditional acknowledgment from a participant in the Book Entry Transfer Facility tendering Old Notes and agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Offer; (iii) an “Eligible Institution” means a firm that is a member in good standing of a recognized medallion program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, Inc., or is otherwise an “eligible guarantor institution” as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iv) a “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery” means a notice stating an unconditional commitment by an Eligible Institution to deliver securities within a specified time period.

(c) In connection with the Offer, you are expressly authorized to enter into agreements or arrangements with the Book Entry Transfer Facility or any other party which, among other things, provide that (i) delivery of a Confirmation will satisfy the terms of the Offer in accordance with the terms of the Offer, (ii) such agreements or arrangements are enforceable against the Company by the Book Entry Transfer Facility, such other party, or any other participant in the Offer, and (iii) you, as Exchange Agent and Information Agent, are authorized to make any necessary representations or warranties thereunder.

2) Procedure for Defective Items. (a) You will examine each Confirmation received by you to determine whether you believe such tender may be defective. In the event you have reason to believe of the existence of a defect in connection with a tender of Old Notes or a revocation of tender of Old Notes, you are authorized to notify the person tendering or withdrawing such Old Notes, its nominee, the Book Entry Transfer Facility, or, if applicable, the Eligible Institution, of the existence of such defect.

(b) The Company shall retain responsibility for final determinations whether any tender or revocation of tender is complete and proper. In the event the Company determines that any tender or revocation of tender is defective, you shall notify the person tendering or withdrawing such Old Notes, its nominee, the Book Entry Transfer Facility, or, if applicable, the Eligible Institution, of such determination.

(c) If less than all of the Old Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are to be accepted because the Offer is oversubscribed, the Company shall provide you with instructions regarding proration.
