any, as may be approved by you and the Obligors. Certain capitalized terms used
in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; references to a “Schedule” or an

to this Agreement.
SECTION
2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES.
Section 2.1. Purchase and Sale of

conditions of this Agreement, the Obligors will issue and sell to you and you
will purchase from the Obligors, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, the
Series 2006-A Notes in the principal amount specified opposite your name in
Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.
Contemporaneously with entering into this Agreement, the Obligors are entering
into separate Note

other purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Other Purchasers”), providing for the sale at such Closing to each of
the Other Purchasers of the Series 2006-A Notes in the principal amount
specified opposite its name in Schedule A. Your obligation hereunder, and the

not joint obligations, and you shall have no obligation under any Other
Agreement and no liability to any Person for the performance or nonperformance
by any Other Purchaser thereunder.
Section 2.2. Additional Series of
Notes. The Obligors may, from
time to time, in their sole discretion, but subject to the terms hereof, issue
and sell one or more additional series of their unsecured promissory notes under
the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to a supplement (a “Supplement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit S (with such
modifications, if any, in the names of the Obligors as may be necessary to
properly identify the Obligors at the time of delivery of any such Supplement
and the related Additional Notes (defined below)).
-2-
Each additional series of Notes (the “Additional Notes”) issued pursuant to a Supplement shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)
each series of Additional Notes, when so issued, shall be differentiated from
all previous series by sequential numerical designation inscribed
thereon;
(ii) Additional Notes of the same series
may consist of more than one different and separate tranches and may differ with
respect to outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates, interest rates and
premiums, if any, and price and terms of redemption or payment prior to
maturity, but all such different and separate tranches of the same series shall
vote as a single class and constitute one series;
(iii) each series of Additional Notes shall
be dated the date of issue, bear interest at such rate or rates, mature on such
date or dates, be subject to such mandatory and optional prepayment on the dates
and at the premiums, if any, have such additional or different conditions
precedent to closing, such representations and warranties and such additional
covenants as shall be specified in the Supplement under which such Additional
Notes are issued and upon execution of any such Supplement, this Agreement shall
be amended to reflect such additional covenants without further action on the
part of the holders of the Notes outstanding under this Agreement, provided, that any such additional covenants shall inure to
the benefit of all holders of Notes so long as any Additional Notes issued
pursuant to such Supplement remain outstanding;
(iv) each series of Additional Notes issued
under this Agreement shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit
S hereto with such variations, omissions and insertions as are necessary or
permitted hereunder;
(v)
the minimum principal amount of any Additional Note originally issued under a
Supplement shall be $5,000,000;
(vi) all Additional Notes shall mature more
than one year after the issuance thereof and shall constitute Funded Debt of the
Company and shall rank pari passu with all other
outstanding Notes; and
(vii) no Additional Notes shall be issued
hereunder if at the time of issuance thereof and after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds thereof, any Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

Obligors and you and the Other Purchasers. At the Closing the Obligors 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 $250,000 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 Obligors or their order of

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

nonfulfillment.

SECTION
5.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE OBLIGORS.
Each Obligor, jointly
and severally, represents and warrants to you that:
Section 5.1. Organization; Power and
Authority. Each Obligor is a
corporation or limited liability company or limited partnership duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or
limited liability company or limited partnership and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those
jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor has the corporate or limited liability
company or limited partnership power and authority to own or hold under lease
the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business
it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and
the Other Agreements and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and
thereof.
-6-
Section 5.2. Authorization,
etc. This Agreement, the Other
Agreements and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
limited liability company or limited partnership action on the part of each
Obligor, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof
each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor
enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 5.3.
Disclosure. The Company, through
its agents, SPP Capital Partners, LLC, and US Bank, N.A., has delivered to you
and each Other Purchaser a copy of a Confidential Direct Placement Memorandum,
dated December 2005 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of
the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This
Agreement, the Memorandum and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5,
taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Since
January 1, 2005, there has been no change in the financial condition,
operations, business, properties or prospects of the Obligors and their
respective Subsidiaries except changes that individually or in the aggregate
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no
fact known to any Obligor that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Memorandum.
Section 5.4. Organization and
Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein)
complete and correct lists (i) of each Obligor’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to
each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization,
and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar
equity interests outstanding owned by each Obligor and each other Subsidiary,
(ii) of each Obligor’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and (iii) of each

of the rights, properties or assets of any Obligor or any ERISA Affiliate, in
either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax
provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code, other than such

(other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most
recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for
funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not
exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such
benefit liabilities by more than $1,000,000 in the case of any single Plan and
by more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all Plans. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA

Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities
attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of
each Obligor and its Subsidiaries is not Material.
(e)
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the
Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the
prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be

Offering by the Obligors. No
Obligor nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar
securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or
otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other

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

Section 5.14. Use of
Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The
Obligors will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Notes to re-finance existing
Senior Debt and for general corporate or limited liability company or limited
partnership purposes. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes
hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or
carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 207), or for the purpose of
buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to
involve the Obligors in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224)
or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board
(12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 1.00% of the value of
the consolidated assets of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and the Obligors
do not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than
1.00% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said
Regulation U.
Section 5.15. Existing Debt;
Future Liens. (a) Schedule 5.15
sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt of the Obligors
and their Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 (unless a more recent date is
indicated on the schedule), since which date there has been no Material change
in the amounts (except for the outstanding amounts owed to the Banks under the
Credit Agreement, described in Schedule 5.15), interest rates, sinking funds,
installment payments or maturities of the Debt of the Obligors or their
Subsidiaries. No Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default and no waiver
of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest
on any Debt of any Obligor or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists
with respect to any Debt of any Obligor or any Subsidiary that would permit (or
that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more
Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity
or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
(b)
Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, no Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries has
agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a
contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.3.
Section 5.16. Foreign Assets
Control Regulations, etc. Neither
the sale of the Notes by the Obligors hereunder nor their use of the proceeds
thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the
foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31
CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive
order relating thereto.

its Subsidiaries has knowledge of any claim or has received any notice of any
claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against any
Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties
now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets,

Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed to you in

give rise to any claim, public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or

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

SECTION
8. PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.
Section 8.1. Required
Prepayments. As provided therein,
the entire unpaid principal balance of the Series 2006-A Notes shall be due and
payable on the stated maturity date thereof.
Section 8.2. Optional
Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Obligors may, at their option, upon notice as
provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the
Series 2006-A Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Series 2006-A Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial
prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest
accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount
determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The
Company will give each holder of Series 2006-A Notes written notice of each
optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall
specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2006-A Notes to
be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Series 2006-A Note held by
such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the
interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount
being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial
Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such
prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the
prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days
prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Series
2006-A Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the
calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.
Section 8.3. Allocation of
Partial Prepayments. In the case
of each partial prepayment of the Series 2006-A Notes pursuant to Section 8.2,
the principal amount of the Series 2006-A Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated
among all of the Series 2006-A Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

Section 8.4. Maturity;
Surrender, etc. In the case of
each prepayment of Series 2006-A Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal
amount of each Series 2006-A Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and
payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such
principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if
any. From and after such date, unless the Obligors shall fail to pay such
principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall
cease to accrue. Any Series 2006-A Note paid or prepaid in full shall be
surrendered to the Obligors and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no
Series 2006-A Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of
any Series 2006-A Note.
Section 8.5. Purchase of
Notes. The Obligors will not and
will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire,
directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or
prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Notes. The Obligors will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by them or any
Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or
exchange for any such Notes.
Section 8.6. Make-Whole
Amount. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Series 2006-A Note, an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Series 2006-A
Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less
than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following
terms have the following meanings:
“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Series 2006-A Note, the
principal of such Series 2006-A Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section
8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 12.1, as the context requires.
“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any
Series 2006-A Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled
Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled
due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in
accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on
the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Series 2006-A Notes is
payable) based upon the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called
Principal.
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any
Series 2006-A Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields
reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day
preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the
display designated as “Page PX1” on the Bloomberg Financial Services Screen (or
such other display as may replace Page PX1 on the Bloomberg Financial Services
Screen) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to
the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date,
or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported
as of such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series
Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported
as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any
comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities
having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if
necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond-equivalent
yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating
linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the
maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and (2) the
actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less
than the Remaining Average Life.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the
number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by
dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by
multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with
respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with
respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining
Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any
Series 2006-A Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon
that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its
scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which
interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series 2006-A Notes,
then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be
reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required
to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section
12.1.
“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any
Series 2006-A Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid
pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
SECTION
9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

without limitation, Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect
all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental
authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to
the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary
to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules
or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses,
certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, the
Obligors will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, be a Person
described in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or described in the
Department of the Treasury Rule, and will not engage in any dealings or

Section 9.2.
Insurance. Each Obligor will, and
each Obligor will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their
respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies,
of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles,
co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with
respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established
reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.
Section 9.3. Maintenance of
Properties. Each Obligor will,
and each Obligor will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain and
keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good
repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that
the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all
times, provided that this Section shall not prevent any Obligor or
any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance
of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of
its business and such Obligor has concluded that such discontinuance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 9.4. Payment of
Taxes and Claims. Each Obligor
will, and each Obligor will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax
returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all
taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes,
assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their
properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and
assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent
and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might
become a Lien on properties or assets of such Obligor or any Subsidiary,
provided that no Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries need pay
any such tax or assessment or claims if (i) the amount, applicability or
validity thereof is contested by such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a timely
basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and such Obligor or such
Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Obligor or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such
taxes and assessments in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 9.5. Corporate or
Limited Liability Company or Limited Partnership Existence,
etc. Each Obligor will at all
times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate or limited
liability company or limited partnership existence. Subject to Sections 10.2 and
10.8, each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect
the corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership existence of
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of such
Obligor and its Restricted Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of
such Obligor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force
and effect such corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership
existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have
a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Nature of
Business. The Obligors and each
of their Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any business if, as a
result, the general nature of the business, taken on a combined basis, which
would then be engaged in by the Obligors and their Restricted Subsidiaries would
be substantially changed from the general nature of the business engaged in by
such Obligors and their Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.
Section 9.7. Notes to Rank
Pari Passu. The Notes and all
other obligations under this Agreement of each Obligor are and at all times

among themselves and pari passu with all other present and future unsecured Debt
(actual or contingent) of such Obligor which is not expressed to be subordinate
or junior in rank to any other unsecured Debt of such Obligor.
Section 9.8. Designation,
Joinder and Release of Subsidiaries. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, each Subsidiary which is an Obligor under this Agreement shall be and
remain a “Restricted Subsidiary” for as long as such Subsidiary is an Obligor under
this Agreement.
(b)
WFB, as of the date of the Closing, shall be designated as a “Restricted Subsidiary”. The Company shall have the right, after the date of
Closing, on not more than three occasions (in the aggregate for such
re-designations) to re-designate the status of WFB as a “Restricted Subsidiary” or an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” by giving notice in reasonable detail of any such
re-designation to the holders, subject, however, to the requirement that at the time of any
re-designation to the holders and after giving effect thereto, no Default or
Event of Default shall exist hereunder (such requirement being referred to as
the “No Default Requirement”). Any such notice of re-designation to the holders
shall be given within five (5) Business Days of the election of the Company to
so re-designate any such Subsidiary and shall contain a certification by a
Responsible Officer of the Company certifying as to the No Default Requirement.
(c)
With respect to each Person which becomes a Subsidiary after the date of the
Closing and is not required to be an Obligor hereunder, the Company shall, by
written notice to each of the holders (delivered not less than 10 days prior to
such Person becoming a Subsidiary), initially designate each such Subsidiary as
a “Restricted Subsidiary” or an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” hereunder. In the absence of the Company giving any
such notice of initial designation pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), each such
Person initially becoming a Subsidiary subsequent to the date of the Closing
shall be deemed to be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, the
Company shall have the right, with respect to each Subsidiary referred to in
this Section 9.8(c), on not more than three occasions (in the aggregate for such
re-designations) for each such Subsidiary, to re-designate the status of each
such Subsidiary as a “Restricted Subsidiary” or an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” by giving notice in reasonable detail of any such
re-designation to the holders, subject, however, to the No Default Requirement. Any such notice of
re-designation shall be given within five (5) Business Days of the election of
the Company to so re-designate any such Subsidiary and shall contain a
certification by a Responsible Officer certifying as to the No Default
Requirement.

acquisition or formation of any Subsidiary which notice will confirm that,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.8(e), such Subsidiary shall constitute an
Obligor and a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder subject to all of the obligations
of the Obligors hereunder as if such Subsidiary were an original Obligor
hereunder as of the date of Closing. Such notice shall be accompanied by an
executed copy of the joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit
9.8(d) hereto and such other reasonable and customary closing showings and legal

Obligor) will execute and deliver new Notes hereunder in replacement of the
outstanding Notes.
(e)
If any Subsidiary is released as a “Borrower” (as defined in the Credit
Agreement), under the Credit Agreement (and is not then designated as a borrower
or obligor under any other credit facility of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary), such Subsidiary shall be deemed released as an Obligor under this
Agreement concurrently with the Company providing you with an Officer’s
Certificate. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be accompanied by evidence of such
release under the Credit Agreement and shall certify that (i) at the time of
such release and immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of
Default existed or shall exist hereunder (ii) such Subsidiary then being
released is not then a borrower or obligor under any other credit facility, and
(iii) other than the payment of reasonable legal fees, no consideration was
granted to any agent or lender under the Credit Agreement, directly or
indirectly in connection with such release including, but not limited to, any
payment of any fees, any increase in pricing, any additional Guaranty, any
participation in other transactions or any other credit enhancement or other
benefit. In the event of such release, the Restricted Subsidiary being released
shall continue to be a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder subject to the rights of
the Company to re-designate the status of such Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 9.8(c). For the avoidance of doubt, in any event, any Subsidiary whether
now owned or hereafter formed or acquired which is a borrower or guarantor under
the Credit Agreement, will be required to be an Obligor hereunder.
Section 9.9. Release of
Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement. The holders agree to terminate the Amended and
Restated Intercreditor Agreement simultaneously with the termination of such
agreement by all other parties to such agreement provided that (i) no Default or
Event of Default exists immediately before and immediately after giving effect
to such termination and (ii) other than the payment of reasonable attorneys
fees, no consideration was or shall be granted to any agent or lender, directly
or indirectly in connection with the release of the Intercreditor Agreement
including but not limited to the payment of fees, any increase in pricing, any
additional Guaranty, any participation in other transactions or any other credit
enhancement (whether consisting of waiver, collateral, reduction of principal
(or commitment therefore), additional covenants or other benefit).

under this Agreement or the Notes.

SECTION
12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.
Section 12.1.
Acceleration. (a) If an Event of
Default with respect to any Obligor described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section
11 (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or
described in clause (vi) of paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact that such clause
encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (g)) has occurred, all the Notes then
outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.
(b)
If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or
holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the
Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and
payable.
(c)
If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has
occurred and is continuing, any holder of Notes at the time outstanding affected
by such Event of Default may at any time, at its option, by notice or notices to
the Company, declare all the Notes held by it to be immediately due and payable.
Upon any Note’s becoming due and payable under this
Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Note will forthwith
mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Note, plus (i) all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect
of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall
all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor
acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the
right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the
Obligors (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision
for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Obligors in the event that the Notes
are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended
to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such
circumstances.
Section 12.2. Other
Remedies. If any Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes
have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section
12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and
enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other
appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement
contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any
of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3.
Rescission. At any time after any
Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of
Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any
such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Obligors have paid all overdue
interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any
Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such
declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount,
if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in
respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and
Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by
reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to
Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of
any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment
under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default
or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 12.4. No Waivers or
Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of
any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as
a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or
remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note
upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy
referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity,
by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under
Section 15, the Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such
holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and
disbursements.
SECTION
13. REGISTRATION;
EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.
Section 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 Obligors shall not be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that
is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and
correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Purchase Agreement |
Section 13.2. Transfer and
Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender
of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company 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 Obligors shall execute and deliver, at the Obligors’
expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of the
appropriate series (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the
surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such
holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each
such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest
shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the
surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such Note is surrendered for a new Note in connection with
Section 9.8(d), such new Note shall be dated as of the date that the new Note is
issued, but the form of Note shall be modified to provide that notwithstanding
the date of the Note, interest will accrue from the date to which interest shall
have been paid on the surrendered Note or from the date of the surrendered Note
if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Obligors may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in
respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in
denominations of less than $250,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of
transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a
denomination of less than $250,000. Any transferee of a Note, or purchaser of a
participation therein, shall, by its acceptance of such Note be deemed to make
the same representations to the Obligors regarding the Note or participation as
you and the Other Purchasers have made pursuant to Section 6.2, provided that such entity may (in reliance upon information
provided by the Obligors, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) make a
representation to the effect that the purchase by such entity of any Note will
not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406(a) of
ERISA.
Section 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 $10,000,000, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity
shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or
(b)
in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,
the Obligors at their own
expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the
appropriate series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest
shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall
have been paid thereon.
SECTION
14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.
Section 14.1. Place of
Payment. Subject to Section 14.2,
payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and
payable on the Notes shall be made in Lincoln, Nebraska at the principal office

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.

Section 14.2. Home Office
Payment. So long as you or your
nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained
in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Obligors will pay all sums
becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest
by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below your name in
Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as you shall have
from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without
the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation

or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, you
shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such
request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of
payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior
to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by you or your nominee you
will, at your election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid
thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender
such Note to the Obligors in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to
Section 13.2. The Obligors will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any
Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note
purchased by you under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement
relating to such Note as you have made in this Section 14.2.

15. EXPENSES,
ETC.
Section 15.1. Transaction
Expenses. Whether or not the

and, if reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by you and each
Other Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in
connection with any supplements, additional series of Notes, amendments, waivers
or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not

harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of
brokers and finders (other than those retained by you).

Obligors under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note,

affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to
acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or

the Notes unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then
outstanding whether or not such holder consented to such waiver or amendment.

consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of

such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect
any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly
amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing
between the Obligors and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any
rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of
any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and
references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be
amended or supplemented.

the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This
Section 19 shall not prohibit the Obligors or any other holder of Notes from

of any Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in
nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified
when received by you as being confidential information of such Obligor or such
Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a)

by you or any Person acting on your behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to you
other than through disclosure by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or (d)

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 Obligors in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note
of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or
requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement

February 7, 2003, Second Amendment to Specific Venture Agreement dated May 25,
2004, and Third Amendment to Specific Venture Agreement dated July 1, 2005, in
connection with the development of the Kansas City retail store, the UG has a

owners. In addition, if at any time after seven (7) years and six (6) months of
the Grand Completion Date, CRI ceases to operate the Retail Store (as defined in
the Agreement) in a dignified quality manner or abandons the Retail Store, the
UG has the option to purchase the Retail Store for fair market value. Finally,
CRI must obtain the approval of the UG to transfer the Specific Venture (as
defined in the Agreement) unless the transfer is part of a sale of the assets of
CRI and its affiliates to a transferee that is a recognized high quality
retailer similar in size and ability to generate sales as CRI with a net worth
at least equal to CRI and its affiliates who unconditionally assumes CRI’s
obligations under the Agreement.

Cabela’s has agreed to advance PDC the sums necessary to pay any
shortfall.
3.
Cabela’s has agreed to convey certain industrial tracts in Prairie du Chien,
Wisconsin to the City if Cabela’s and the City fail to agree on a development

proposals from Cabela’s with respect to these tracts. To date, the City and
Cabela’s have not resolved negotiations with respect to these
tracts.
4.

municipality that issued bonds. During the time when the municipality owns the
museum, Cabela’s manages the museum in exchange for certain management fees that
accrue. Cabela’s generally has an obligation in each of these locations to
repurchase the museum back from the municipal owner after the bonds are paid off
or otherwise expire in accordance with their terms. The purchase price for the
museum is usually based upon fair market value at the time of the sale, and
Cabela’s is to receive a credit against the purchase price in the amount of any
accrued management fees. In the event that the accrued management fees do not
match or exceed the price of the museum at the time the repurchase occurs,
Cabela’s would be required to pay an amount equal to the difference between (i)
the purchase price for the museum and (ii) the accrued management fees. The
agreements were structured with the understanding that the accrued management
fees would accumulate and pay for the museum at the time of the repurchase, but
there is no way of knowing what the fair market value for the museums will be in
the future and whether the accrued management fees will be enough to cover the
costs for the museums.

CRI has entered into a Development Agreement with the city of Xxxxxx, Minnesota
dated February 10, 2005 for financial incentives in an amount not to exceed
$3,500,000 in the form of proceeds from an existing TIF district as well as real
estate tax abatement. In return for the incentives, CRI is obligated to create
and maintain 200 full time jobs at the project within two years of completion of
the retail store. In the event that the job creation goals are not met, CRI is
required to pro rata portion of the incentives.
14.
CRI has entered into a Development Agreement with Washington County, WI, dated
November 22, 2005 in which approximately $4,000,000 in bonds will be issued to
reimburse CRI for the cost of constructing and equipping public improvements
within the project. In return, CRI is obligated to construct and open the retail
store and operate the retail store continuously for at least five (5) years. In
addition, in the event that annual gross sales from the retail store are
insufficient to generate county sales tax revenues equal to the annual debt
service on the bonds, CRI will pay any such shortfall. Further, in return for a
grant in the amount of $750,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce for
infrastructure, CRI has agreed to create a total of 180 full time jobs within
one year of the date the retail store opens to the public. The grant would have
to be returned if the requisite jobs are not created.

CRI has entered into a Development Agreement dated September 1, 2005 and a
Ground Lease dated December 1, 2005, both with the City of Glendale, Arizona,
which provides for up to $10,000,000 in bond proceeds for the acquisition of the
property and completion of site work. In return, CRI has agreed to construct a
165,000 sq. ft. retail store and operate it at the site for a period of 20
years, as well as creating at least 375 full and part time jobs at the retail
store. The land has been sold to the City Glendale and will be leased back
pursuant to the Ground Lease. Should CRI Close the retail store prior to the end
of the 20 year period or otherwise default on its obligations, CRI will be
obligated to pay to the City an amount sufficient to defease the bonds.
16.
CRI has entered into two (2) separate purchase agreements, each dated as of
March 7, 2005, as amended (the “Real Estate Purchase Agreements”), whereby CRI has the right to purchase
approximately 30 acres of real estate in the City of Reno, County of Washoe,
Nevada. The total purchase price for the real estate is approximately
$5,150,000, and the purchase of said real estate is contingent upon CRI entering
into an agreement with the City of Reno, Nevada and the Redevelopment Agency of
the City of Reno, Nevada (the “Definitive Agreement”) with regard to certain bond financing in an amount
up to $54,000,000. The Definitive Agreement has been generally negotiated
between the parties, but is still subject to formal approval by the
municipalities, which is anticipated to be complete by early March 2006. After
the Definitive Agreement has been signed by all parties, CRI intends to close on
the purchase of the approximately 30 acres of real estate as set forth in the
Real Estate Purchase Agreements.

the negotiation, execution and delivery of those certain Note Purchase
Agreements, dated as of February 27, 2006 (the “Note Agreements”), by and among
Obligors and each of the purchasers listed on Schedule A to the Note Agreements.
This letter (the “Opinion”) is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of
the Note Agreements. All capitalized terms in this Opinion which are not
otherwise defined in this Opinion shall have the same meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Note Agreements.
1. For purposes of
this Opinion, we have reviewed such documents and made such other investigation
as we have deemed appropriate. Our review included, without limitation, the
following documents (the “Opinion Documents”):
a.
Note Agreements;
b. Notes; and
c. Form of Joinder Agreement.
EXHIBIT
4.4(a)
(to Note Purchase Agreement)
As to certain matters of
fact material to the opinions expressed in this Opinion, we have relied on the
representations made in the Opinion Documents and certificates of public
officials and officers of the Obligors. We have not independently established
the facts so relied on.
2. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the
other paragraphs of this Opinion, we express the following opinions:
a. Each Obligor is a corporation or limited
liability company or limited partnership (as appropriate) duly incorporated or
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State in which it was
formed and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now
conducted, to enter into the Opinion Documents and to perform all of its
obligations under each and all of the foregoing.
b. Each Obligor is duly licensed or qualified and
is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business
transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, other than
those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
c. Each of the Opinion Documents has been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company or limited
partnership action on the part of the Obligors which are parties thereto, has
been duly executed and delivered by said Obligors and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding contract of said Obligors enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
d. No approval, consent or withholding of
objection on the part of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any
governmental body, Federal or state, is necessary in connection with the
execution and delivery of the Opinion Documents.
e. Except as otherwise provided below, the
issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution, delivery and performance by
the Obligors of the Note Agreements do not conflict with or result in any breach
of any of the provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property of the Obligors
pursuant to the provisions of their respective (i) Articles/Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, (ii) Articles of Organization and Operating Agreements
or (iii) Certificate of Limited Partnership and Limited Partnership Agreements,
or, to our knowledge, any agreement or other instrument in which any of the
Obligors are a party or by which any of the Obligors may be bound. We advise
that (i) the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 15, 2005,
by and among certain Obligors and U.S. Bank, National Association, and the other
banks a party thereto from time to time, (ii) the Note Agreements dated
September 5, 2002 (the “2002 Note Agreements”), from certain Obligors to each of
the purchasers listed on Schedule A to the 2002 Note Agreements, as amended by
that certain First Amendment Agreement dated as of October 31, 2005, and as
amended by that certain Second Amendment Agreement dated as of February 27,
2006, and (iii) the Note Agreements dated January 1, 1995 (the “1995 Note
Agreements”), from certain Obligors to United of Omaha Life Insurance Company,
Companion Life Insurance Company and Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, as
amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of June
30, 1997, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to 1995 Note Agreements
dated as of September 1, 2000, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 3 to
1995 Note Agreements dated as of October 9, 2001, as amended by that certain
Amendment No. 4 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of September 5, 2002, as
amended by that certain Amendment No. 5 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of May
5, 2004, and as amended by that certain Amendment No. 6 to 1995 Note Agreements
dated as of February 27, 2006, contain covenants respecting leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge
coverage, none of which covenants prohibit the issuance of the Notes. We express
no opinion as to whether the execution, delivery and performance of the Note
Agreements and the funding of the Notes will cause or constitute a default under
any such provisions as a result of exceeding financial
ratios.
E-4.4(a)-2
f. To our knowledge, there is no litigation
pending, threatened against or affecting the Obligors or any Subsidiary, at law
or in equity, which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely effect,
individually or in the aggregate, the properties, business, prospects, profits
or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Obligors or their Subsidiaries or
which could impair the ability of the Obligors to carry on their respective
businesses as now conducted or impair the ability of the Obligors to comply with
the provisions of and perform their respective obligations under the Opinion
Documents.
g. Neither the issuance of the Notes, nor the use
of the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, will violate or conflict with
Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of
the United States of America.
h. The issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes
under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Agreements does not, under
existing law, require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939, as amended.
The opinions expressed in
this Opinion are based solely upon and limited to the federal law of the United
States, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the law of the State of
Nebraska.
We neither express nor imply
any opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in any of the Opinion
Documents that provide for the payment of attorneys’ fees by the Obligors or any
Subsidiary.
We neither express nor imply
any opinion as to the effect on the Obligors of litigation or claims by taxing
authorities or private parties relating to potential liabilities for sales, use
or related taxes on the Obligors’ direct marketing business.
This Opinion is rendered
solely to you in connection with the Opinion Documents. You may not rely upon
this Opinion for any other purpose. Without our prior written consent, this
Opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose
except that subsequent institutional transferees may rely upon this opinion, but
only as of the date of original delivery hereof.
Sincerely,
[See Attached]

“Obligors”) pursuant to the separate Note Purchase Agreements
each dated as of February 27, 2006 (the “Note Purchase Agreements”)
among the Obligors and each of

In that connection, we

certified and attached (i) an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on
February 3, 2006 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), (ii) Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company
(the “Bylaws”) and (iii) resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company on December 15, 2006 authorizing the execution of the
Note Purchase Agreements and the issuance of the Notes and (b) a certificate
dated February 3, 2006 of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
certifying that the Company is duly incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware and is in good standing (the “Good Standing Certificate”);
(e) a letter, dated
January 31, 2006, addressed to the Company and us from SPP Capital Partners, LLC
describing the manner of the offering of the Notes (the “Offeree Letter”); and
(f) such matters of law
as we have deemed necessary to give the opinions hereinafter expressed.
The documents referred to in clauses (a) and (b)
above are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Financing Documents” and individually as a “Financing Document.”
As to all matters of fact we have relied solely upon
(a) the representations and warranties of the Company and you set forth in the
Note Purchase Agreements, (b) the certificates of public officials and of the
officers of the Company, and (c) the Offeree Letter, and have assumed, without
independent inquiry, the accuracy of such representations, warranties and
certificates, and of the Offeree Letter.
Our opinion as to matters referred to in paragraph 1
below is based solely upon an examination of the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company, the By-laws of the Company and the Good Standing
Certificate.
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. Our opinion as to due authorization set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3
below is based solely upon an examination of the Secretary’s Certificate. In
addition, we have relied, to the extent of the matters set forth therein, upon
the Offeree Letter. We have also assumed that the execution, delivery and
performance of the Financing Documents does not violate or result in any breach
of any agreement to which the Company is subject or require any authorization,
consent, approval, exemption or other action by, or notice to or filing with,
any Governmental Authority (excluding the Federal laws of the United States)
which has not been obtained.
E-4.4(b)-3
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that:
1. The Company is a
corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware and has the corporate power and the corporate authority to execute
and deliver the Note Purchase Agreements and to issue the
Notes.
2. The Note Purchase
Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Company and has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company.
3. The Notes have been

and the Notes being delivered on the date hereof have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company.
4. The issuance, sale

Purchase Agreements do not, under existing law, require the registration of the
Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the qualification of an
indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
Our opinion is limited to Delaware General
Corporation Law and the Federal laws of the United States and we express no
opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction.
This opinion is being furnished only to you in
connection with the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreements, and is not to be used, quoted, relied upon or otherwise referred to
by any other person or for any other purposes without our prior written consent,
except that this opinion may be reviewed, but not relied upon, by legal and
regulatory authorities and may be relied upon as of the date hereof by
subsequent holders of the Notes who are Institutional Investors and who have
acquired the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreements
as if such subsequent holders were original addressees hereon. This opinion is
based on factual matters in existence as of the date hereof and laws and
regulations in effect on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise
or supplement this opinion should such factual matters change or should such
laws or regulations be changed by legislative or regulatory action, judicial
decision or otherwise.
