5

(b)           The Company will give the Agents notice of its intention to file or prepare any additional registration statement with respect to the registration of additional Notes or any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates or maturity dates of Notes or similar changes) and will furnish the Agents with copies of any such registration statement or amendment or supplement proposed to be filed or prepared a reasonable time in advance of such proposed filing or preparation, as the case may be, and will give the Agents a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement.

(c)           The Company will deliver to the Agents without charge, a copy of (i) the Indenture, (ii) the Registration Statement (as originally filed) and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus) and (iii) a certified copy of the corporate authorization of the issuance and sale of the Notes.  The Company will furnish to the Agents as many copies of the Prospectus and the Statutory Prospectus (both as amended or supplemented) as the Agents shall reasonably request so long as the Agents are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales or solicitations of offers to purchase the Notes under the 1933 Act.

(d)           The Company will prepare, with respect to any Notes to be sold through or to an Agent pursuant to this Agreement (and any applicable Terms Agreement), a pricing supplement with respect to either fixed rate or floating rate Notes in substantially the applicable form attached as Exhibit G (a “Pricing Supplement”) and will file such Pricing Supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the 1933 Act (i) in preliminary form no later than the time at which the proposed pricing information is first used in connection with a public offering or sale and (ii) in final form not later than the close of business on the second business day following the earlier of the date of determination of the offering price or the date it is first used in connection with a public offering or sale (or such earlier time as may be required under the 1933 Act).

(e)           Except as otherwise provided in subsection (m) of this Section, if at any time during the term of this Agreement any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of your counsel or counsel for the Company, to further amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of either such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act, immediate notice shall be given, and confirmed in writing, to the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes and to cease sales of any Notes by the Purchasing Agent, and the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements.

(f)            Except as otherwise provided in subsection (m) of this Section, on or prior to the date on which there shall be released to the general public interim financial statement information related to the Company with respect to each of the first three quarters of any fiscal

6

year or preliminary financial statement information with respect to any fiscal year, the Company shall furnish promptly such information to the Agents and thereafter shall cause promptly the Prospectus to be amended or supplemented to include financial information with respect thereto, as well as such other information and explanations as shall be necessary for an understanding thereof, as may be required by the 1933 Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1940 Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1934 Act”) or otherwise.

(h)           As soon as practicable after furnishing with the Commission, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Agent an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158.

(i)            The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Notes for sale under the laws of such states and jurisdictions as the Agents may designate and the Company agrees to and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the distribution and sale of the Notes; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.  The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Notes have been qualified as above provided.  The Company will promptly advise the Agents of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any such state or jurisdiction or the initiating or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(j)            The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1940 Act and the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1940 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, respectively.

(k)           The Company has filed or will file each Statutory Prospectus and Prospectus pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 497 within the prescribed time period.

7

(l)            If by the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the Notes remain unsold by the Agents, the Company will file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new shelf registration statement relating to the Notes, in a form satisfactory to the Agents and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline.  The Company will take all other reasonable action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Notes to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Notes.  References in this Agreement to the “Registration Statement” shall include any such new registration statement after it has become effective.

(m)          The Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of subsections (e), (f) or (g) of this Section or the provisions of Sections VIII(b), (c) and (d) during any period from the time (i) the Agents have suspended solicitation of purchases of the Notes pursuant to a direction from the Company and (ii) the Agents shall not then hold any Notes as principal purchased from the Purchasing Agent to the time the Company shall determine that solicitation of purchases of the Notes should be resumed or shall subsequently agree for the Purchasing Agent to purchase Notes as principal.

(n)           The Company will use the Net Proceeds in the manner specified in each Prospectus and each Disclosure Package under “Use of Proceeds.”

(o)           The Company will use its best efforts to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Subchapter M of the Code” and the “Code,” respectively).

(p)           The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agents (or its counsel or other representatives), including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, as the Agents may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall be required to make available documents and senior corporate officers only (i) at the Company’s principal offices and (ii) during the Company’s ordinary business hours.  The parties acknowledge that the due diligence review contemplated by this subsection (q) will include, without limitation, during the term of this Agreement a quarterly diligence conference to occur within five Business Days after each filing by the Company of its Annual Report on Form 10-K and each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q whereby the Company will make its senior corporate officers available to address diligence inquiries of the Agents and will provide such additional information and documents as the Agents may reasonably request.

(q)           The Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the1940 Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Notes as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package

(r)            The Company shall use its best efforts in cooperation with the Agents to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company.

8

(s)            Unless otherwise agreed upon in any Terms Agreement between the Purchasing Agent acting as principal and the Company, between the date of such Terms Agreement and the delivery of Notes to the Purchasing Agent as principal with respect to such Terms Agreement, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasing Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, offer, sell or issue, or enter into any agreement to sell or issue, any debt securities of the Company in the United States intended primarily for sale to retail investors (other than the Notes to which such Terms Agreement relates or another series of Notes) which have substantially similar maturities and other terms as such Notes and which are payable as to principal and interest in the currency in which such Notes are payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may enter into any agreement to sell or issue debt securities of the Company so long as such debt securities are expected to be listed on a national exchange and the Company provides the Purchasing Agent with three days prior written notice of the issuance of such securities.

(t)            The Company will notify the Purchasing Agent as soon as practicable, and confirm such notice in writing, of any change in the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, as such term is defined in Section 3 of the 1934 Act, to any debt securities of the Company (including the Notes) or the Company’s revolving credit facility, or the public announcement by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any such debt securities (including the Notes) or the Company’s revolving credit facility, or the withdrawal by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization of its rating of any such debt securities (including the Notes) or the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Purchasing Agent will, in turn, notify promptly the other Agents of any such change.

V.

(a)           The Agents propose to use their respective reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package and upon the terms communicated to the Agents from time to time by the Company or the Purchasing Agent, as the case may be.  For the purpose of such solicitation the Agents will use the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented which has been most recently distributed to the Agents by the Company, and the Agents will solicit offers to purchase only as permitted or contemplated thereby and herein and will solicit offers to purchase the Notes only as permitted by the 1933 Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction.  The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently.  Upon receipt of instructions (which may be given orally) from the Company, the Agents will suspend promptly solicitation of offers to purchase until such time as the Company has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed.

Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Notes only in denominations of $1,000 or more (in multiples of $1,000).  The Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes without the consent of the Company.  Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Purchasing Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Notes.  The Company shall have the sole

9

right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any proposed offers to purchase Notes as a whole or in part.  Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein.  The Company agrees to pay the Purchasing Agent, as consideration for soliciting offers to purchase Notes pursuant to a Terms Agreement, a concession in the form of a discount equal to the percentages of the initial offering price of each Note actually sold as set forth in Exhibit D hereto (the “Concession”); provided, however, that the Company and the Purchasing Agent may agree also to a Concession greater than or less than the percentages set forth on Exhibit D hereto.  The actual aggregate Concession with respect to each tranche of Notes will be set forth in the related Pricing Supplement.  The Purchasing Agent and the other Agents or Selected Dealers will share the above-mentioned Concession in such proportions as they may agree.

Unless otherwise authorized by the Company, all Notes shall be sold to the public at a purchase price not to exceed 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any.  Such purchase price shall be set forth in the confirmation statement of the Agent or Selected Dealer responsible for such sale and delivered to the purchaser along with a copy of the Prospectus (if not previously delivered) and Pricing Supplement.

(b) Procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of, and the solicitation of purchases and payment for, the Notes are set forth in the Administrative Procedures attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Procedures”), as amended from time to time.  Unless otherwise provided in a Terms Agreement, the provisions of the Procedures shall apply to all transactions contemplated hereunder.  The Agents and the Company each agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by each in the Procedures as amended from time to time.  The Procedures may only be amended by written agreement of the Company and the Agents.

(c) The Company, the Purchasing Agent and each Agent acknowledges and agrees, and each Selected Dealer will be required to acknowledge and agree, that the Notes are being offered for sale in the United States only.

VI.

Each sale of Notes shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a separate agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F (a “Terms Agreement”) to be entered into which will provide for the sale of such Notes to, and the purchase and reoffering thereof, by the Purchasing Agent as principal.  A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by the Purchasing Agent.  The offering of Notes by the Company hereunder and the Purchasing Agent’s agreement to purchase Notes pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.  Each Terms Agreement shall describe the Notes to be purchased pursuant thereto by the Purchasing Agent as principal, and may specify, among other things, the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, the interest rate or interest rate index or formula (and whether such interest rate shall be fixed or floating) and maturity date or dates of such Notes, the interest payment dates, if any, the net proceeds to the Company, the initial public

10

offering price at which the Notes are proposed to be reoffered, and the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes, whether the Notes provide for a Survivor’s Option, whether the Notes are redeemable or repayable and on what terms and conditions, and any other relevant terms.  In connection with the resale of the Notes purchased, without the consent of the Company, the Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the service of any other broker or dealer, nor may you reallow any portion of the Concession paid to you.  Terms Agreements, each of which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, or as otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchasing Agent, may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the Purchasing Agent and the Company.

(10)         The Adviser is not aware that (i) any executive, key employee or significant group of employees of the Company, if any, the Adviser or the Administrator, as applicable, plans to terminate employment with the Company, the Adviser or the Administrator or (ii) any such executive or key employee is subject to any non-compete, nondisclosure, confidentiality, employment, consulting or similar agreement that would be violated by the present or proposed business activities of the Company or the Adviser except where such termination or violation would not reasonably be expected to have an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

(c)           All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company, the Advisor or the Administrator submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any controlling person of any Agent, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Notes.

VIII.

(a)           Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes, and each delivery of Notes to the Purchasing Agent pursuant to a sale of Notes to the Purchasing Agent, shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties of the Company and the Adviser and Administrator made to the Agents in this Agreement and in any certificate theretofore delivered pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the time of delivery to the Purchasing Agent of the Note or Notes relating to such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of each such time (and it is understood that such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to each such time).

(b)           Except as otherwise provided in subsection (m) of Section IV, each time:

(1)           the applicable Terms Agreement so specifies (unless waived by the Purchasing Agent);

(2)           the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K required by Item 2 of Form 8-K with the Commission; or

(3)           if required by the Agents after the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package has been amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or

23

supplement providing solely for interest rates, maturity dates or other terms of Notes or similar changes or an amendment or supplement which relates exclusively to an offering of securities other than the Notes),

the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents (i) a certificate of the President, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any other authorized officer of each of the Company and the Adviser satisfactory to the Agents (an “Authorized Officer”) dated the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or dated the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or document or the date of effectiveness of such amendment, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agents to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section III(b) hereof which was last furnished to the Agents are true and correct as of the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or at the time of such filing, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section III(b), modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate and (ii) a certificate of the Secretary of each of the Company and the Adviser dated the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or dated the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or document or the date of effectiveness of such amendment, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agents to the effect that the statements contained in the certificates referred to in Section III(d) hereof which were last furnished to the Agents are true and correct as of the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or at the time of such filing, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in said Section III(d), modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.

(c)           Except as otherwise provided in subsection (m) of Section IV, each time:

(1)           the applicable Terms Agreement so specifies (unless waived by the Purchasing Agent);

(2)           the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K required by Item 2 of Form 8-K with the Commission; or

(3)           if required by the Agents after the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package has been amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for interest rates, maturity dates or other terms of the Notes or similar changes or an amendment or supplement which relates exclusively to an offering of securities other than the Notes),

24

the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agents and your counsel the written opinions of each Company Counsel, dated the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or dated the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or document or the date of effectiveness of such amendment, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Section III(a)(1), (2) and (3) hereof, but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinions; or, in lieu of such opinions, counsel last furnishing such opinions to the Agents shall furnish the Agents with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance).

(d)           Except as otherwise provided in subsection (m) of Section IV, each time:

(1)           the applicable Terms Agreement so specifies (unless waived by the Purchasing Agent);

(2)           the Company files an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K required by Item 2 of Form 8-K with the Commission; or

(3)           if required by the Agents after the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package has been amended or supplemented to include additional financial information required to be set forth therein under the terms of Form N-2 under the 1933 Act,

the Company shall cause BDO to furnish the Agents a letter, dated the date specified in the applicable Terms Agreement or dated the date of effectiveness of such amendment, supplement or document filed with the Commission, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agents, of the same tenor as the portions of the letter referred to in Section III(c) hereof but modified to relate to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package is amended or supplemented solely to include financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, BDO may limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in such amendment or supplement.

(e)           The Company hereby acknowledges that (1) the solicitation of purchases of the Notes and any purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents and any affiliate through which they may be acting, on the other, (2) the Underwriters (as defined in Exhibit H hereinafter) are acting as principal and not as an agent (except as provided herein) or fiduciary of the Company and (3) the Company’s engagement of the Agents in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity.  Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Agents has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters).  The Company agrees that it

25

will not claim that the Agents have rendered advisory services of any nature or in any respect, or owe an agency (except as provided herein), fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

IX.

(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Agent and each person who controls any Agent within the meaning of either the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or the 1940 Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent specifically for inclusion therein.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.  Any indemnification by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 17(i) of the 0000 Xxx.

(b)           Each Agent severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or the 1940 Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Agent, but only with reference to written information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Agent specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.  Each Agent agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action to which they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section IX(b).  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which each Agent may otherwise have.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section IX of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section IX, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under subsection (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided

26

in subsection (a) or (b) above.  The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.  An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d)           In the event that the indemnity provided in subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section IX is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and each Agent severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and any Agent may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by any Agent on the other from the offering of the Notes; provided, however, that in no case shall any Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of an amount represented by the percentage that the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Agent bears to the total sales price from the sale of the Notes sold to or through the Agents to the date of such liability.  If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and each Agent shall severally contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by each Agent shall be deemed to be equal to an amount represented by the percentage that the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Agent bears to the total sales price from the sale of the Notes sold to or through the Agents.  Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information

27

provided by the Company on the one hand or any Agent on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The Company and each Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section IX, each person who controls any Agent within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of any Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (d).

(e)           The Company acknowledges that the name of such Agent appearing on the front cover of the Prospectus, the name of such Agent appearing in the Summary section of the Prospectus on page S-3 and the second and third to last sentences of the first paragraph, the second and third sentences of the second paragraph, the third sentence of the fifth paragraph and with respect to the Purchasing Agent only, the entire sixth paragraph, all under the Section “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Agent for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.

X.

The Company may elect to suspend or terminate the offering of Notes under this Agreement at any time; the Company also (as to any one or more of the Agents) or any Agent (as to itself) may terminate the appointment and arrangements described in this Agreement.  Upon receipt of instructions from the Company, the Purchasing Agent shall suspend or terminate the participation of any Selected Dealer under the Master Selected Dealer Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H.  Such actions may be taken, in the case of the Company, by giving prompt written notice of suspension to all of the Agents and by giving not less than 5 days’ written notice of termination to the affected party and the other parties to this Agreement, or in the case of an Agent, by giving not less than 5 days’ written notice of termination to the Company and except that, if at the time of termination an offer for the purchase of Notes shall have been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Note or Notes relating thereto shall not yet have occurred, the Company shall have the obligations provided herein with respect to such Note or Notes.  The Company shall promptly notify the other parties in writing of any such termination.

The Purchasing Agent may, and, upon the request of an Agent with respect to any Notes being purchased by such Agent shall, terminate any agreement hereunder by the Purchasing Agent to purchase such Notes, immediately upon notice to the Company at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto, (i) if there has been, since the date of such agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto since the date of the applicable agreement), any change,

28

or any development involving an impending prospective change, in or affecting the business, financial position or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto since the date of the applicable agreement), or (ii) if there shall have occurred, since the date of such agreement, any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, financial or otherwise, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Purchasing Agent or such Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of the Notes, or (iii) if, since the date of such agreement, trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on either the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, (iv) if there shall have come to the Purchasing Agent’s or such Agent’s attention any facts that would cause the Purchasing Agent or such Agent to believe that the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, at the time it was required to be delivered to a purchaser of Notes, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading, (v) if there has been, since the date of such agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto since the date of the applicable agreement), a downgrading in the rating assigned to any of the Company’s debt securities (including the Notes) or the Company’s revolving credit facility by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, as such term is defined in Section 3 of the 1934 Act, and any such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its rating of  any of the Company’s debt securities (including the Notes) or the Company’s revolving credit facility or (vi) if, since the date of such agreement, a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

Any Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion on the terms set forth or incorporated by reference therein.  The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any agreement by the Purchasing Agent to purchase Notes as principal, and the termination of any such agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement.

If this Agreement is terminated, Section IV(c) and (e), Section IX and Section XIII hereof shall survive and shall remain in effect; provided that if at the time of termination of this Agreement an offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the Purchasing Agent of such Notes has not occurred, the provisions of all of Section IV, Section V(b) and Section VI shall also survive until time of delivery.

In the event a proposed offering is not completed according to the terms of this Agreement, an Agent will be reimbursed by the Company only for out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually incurred.

29
