Purchase and Sale Agreement

THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of March 23, 2007 is entered into among the VARIOUS ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (each, an “Originator”; and collectively, “Originators”), CINCINNATI XXXX FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and CINCINNATI XXXX INC., an Ohio corporation (“CB”), as Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and as sole member of the Company.

DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, as Seller, CB, as initial Servicer, the various Purchasers and Purchaser Agents from time to time party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator. All references herein to months are to calendar months unless otherwise expressly indicated.

BACKGROUND:

1. The Company is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of which are owned by CB or an entity directly or indirectly owned by CB;

2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses;

3. The Originators wish to sell Receivables to the Company, and the Company is willing to purchase Receivables from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

4. Each of the Originators and CB (each a “Transferor”) and the Company intend this transaction to be a true sale or true contribution, as the case may be, of Receivables by each Transferor to the Company, providing the Company with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Transferors and the Company do not intend the transactions hereunder to be a loan from the Company to any Transferor.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator, severally and for itself, agrees to sell to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4) with respect to such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:

Purchase and Sale Agreement

(a) each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originator’s business on February 28, 2007 (the “Cut-off Date”) other than those Receivables originated by CBW that have been, prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, assigned by CBW to Cincinnati Xxxx Wireless Company, and then assigned by Cincinnati Xxxx Wireless Company to CB and will be contributed by CB on the date hereof to the Company (such assigned Receivables being herein referred to as, the “Contributed Receivables”);

(b) each Receivable generated by such Originator after the Cut-off Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to such Originator;

(c) all rights to, but not the obligations of, such Originator under all Related Security with respect to any of the foregoing Receivables;

(d) all monies due or to become due to such Originator with respect to any of the foregoing;

(e) all books and records of such Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing;

(f) all Collections and other proceeds and products (as such terms are defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Originator on or after the Cut-off Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Company or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any of the above Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including, without limitation, any insurance payments that such Originator, the Company or the Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any of the above Receivables, and net proceeds of sale or other disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of any of the above Receivables or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables); and

(g) all right, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to the Lock-Box Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC).

All purchases and contributions, as the case may be, hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Transferors set forth in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Company hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The Company’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) with respect to such Receivables (collectively, the “Related Rights”) is herein called the “Purchase Facility.” For the avoidance of doubt, the “Related Rights” with respect to

Purchase and Sale Agreement

the Contributed Receivables, shall include the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) above.

SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.

(a) Closing Date Purchases. Each Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-off Date (other than Contributed Receivables), (ii) all Receivables created by such Originator after the Cut-off Date, to and including the Closing Date (other than Contributed Receivables), and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto automatically shall be deemed to have been sold by such Originator to the Company on the Closing Date.

(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to an Originator, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by such Originator shall be deemed to have been sold by such Originator to the Company immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.

SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases and Contributions. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators in accordance with Article III and to reflect all contributions in accordance with Section 3.1.

SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall mean with respect to a Transferor, the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated (or deemed terminated) with respect to such Transferor pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date immediately following the day on which such Transferor, if such Transferor is an Originator, shall have given written notice to the Company, the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) that such Transferor desires to terminate the Purchase Facility with respect to such Transferor and terminate its rights, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement (other than those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Transferor and the Company (a) that each conveyance by such Transferor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables and Related Rights, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale or contribution, as applicable, and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Transferor to the Company (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Transferor) without recourse to such Transferor; provided, that each Transferor shall be liable to the Company for all representations, warranties and covenants made by such Transferor pursuant hereto, and (ii) such sale or contribution, as applicable, does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Company or any assignee thereof of any obligation of any Transferor or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables and Related Rights or any other obligations of any Transferor and (b) that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Company be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders,

Purchase and Sale Agreement

purchasers and any Person claiming through such Transferor. Each Transferor hereby authorizes the Company (and the Administrator, as assignee of the Company) to file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments to financing statements in connection with the sales and contributions, as applicable, contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement is an authenticated record for purposes of the UCC.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on the 20^th day of each calendar month thereafter (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next occurring Business Day) (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Company and each Transferor a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:

(a) Receivables purchased (or, in the case of Contributed Receivables, received) by the Company from each Transferor on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);

(b) Receivables purchased by the Company from each Originator during the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Monthly Purchase Report Date occurs (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report) other than Receivables reflected in the Purchase Report delivered on the Closing Date; and

(c) the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price or Contributed Value for any Receivables as provided in Sections 3.3 (a) and (b).

SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator for the Receivables that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:


PP	=	OB x FMVD

where:

PP	=	Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.

OB	=	The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.

FMVD	=	97.5%.

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.

“Prime Rate” means the rate determined under clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate” (as such term is defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement).

Purchase and Sale Agreement

ARTICLE III

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 3.1 Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment.

(a) On the Closing Date, CB shall, and hereby does, contribute to the capital of the Company, Contributed Receivables having an aggregate principal amount at least equal to $4,325,682, together with the associated Related Rights, and the Company does hereby accept such contribution.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Company and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and partially by issuing a promissory note (it being understood that the Company may pay such Purchase Price on the Closing Date solely by issuing such a promissory note) in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator with an initial principal balance equal to the remaining Purchase Price (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Company Note”).

SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables generated by such Originator on such Payment Date:

(i) First, in cash to the extent the Company has cash available therefor and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement; and

(ii) Second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Company Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price in accordance with the applicable Company Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts paid by the Company to any Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Company Note of such Originator and second to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Company Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Company Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, reductions on account of repayments of the principal amount of the Company Notes and accrued interest on the Company Notes and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Company Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to xxxx the Company Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Company Notes to the Company upon the final payment

Purchase and Sale Agreement

thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to such Originator.

SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a) If, on the day of purchase or contribution, as the case may be, of any Receivable from a Transferor hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.10, 5.15 and 5.17 was untrue with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price (or in the case of a Contributed Receivable, the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable (the “Contributed Value”)), with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Transferor as provided in paragraph (c) or (d), as applicable, below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to such Transferor.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable (including any Contributed Receivable) purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made by a Transferor or any Affiliate of such Transferor (other than the Company), or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer (other than the Company), or any setoff or dispute between a Transferor or any Affiliate of such Transferor (other than the Company), or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer (other than the Company) and an Obligor (except any such revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made in settlement of such Pool Receivable resulting from the financial inability of the applicable Obligor to pay such Pool Receivable and, in the case of all Pool Receivables (other than Lebanon Receivables), made in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies), then the Purchase Price or Contributed Value, as the case may be, with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to such Transferor as provided in paragraph (c) or (d), as applicable, below.

(c) In the case of any Receivable sold by an Originator to the Company hereunder, any reduction in the Purchase Price of such Receivable pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Company from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(i) to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Company Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Company Note payable to such Originator; and

(ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Company by such Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;

Purchase and Sale Agreement

provided, further, that at any time (y) when a Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to such Originator, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into a Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

(d) In the case of any Receivable contributed by CB to the Company hereunder, the amount of any reduction in the Contributed Value of such Receivable pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, shall be paid by CB in cash, in immediately available funds, into a Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that a Transferor has paid to the Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to such Transferor, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Company.

SECTION 5.3 Binding Effect of Agreement. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Transferor enforceable against such Transferor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 5.4 Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished in writing by such Transferor to the Company, the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Transferor to the Company, the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent in writing pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date such information is stated or certified.

SECTION 5.5 Actions, Suits.

SECTION 5.6 Taxes. Such Transferor has filed or caused to be filed all U.S. federal income tax returns and all other returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes, domestic or foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes payable by it which have become due or any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except (a) any taxes, fees, assessments and other charges that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Transferor has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of the Transferors. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) Collection Procedures. Within 90 days of the date hereof, each Transferor will instruct all Persons who are its respective Obligors on the date such instruction is given (and who have not otherwise been so instructed) to make payments of Receivables (other than Lebanon Receivables) sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder directly to a Lock-Box Account, except in the case of any cash-on-delivery transaction or payments made by Obligors at retail locations, payment centers or distributors. Each Transferor will instruct all Persons who thereafter become its respective Obligors to make payments of Receivables (other than Lebanon Receivables) sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder directly to a Lock-Box Account, except in the case of any cash-on-delivery transaction or payments made by Obligors at retail locations, payment centers or distributors.

(d) Each Transferor hereby agrees that at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Termination Event set forth in clause (a)(ii), (f) or clause (i) of Exhibit V of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee. The exercise of this right will be subject to any applicable regulatory restrictions. CB agrees that, if the Administrator is unable to exercise the rights in this clause (d) due to any applicable regulatory restrictions, it will, subject to any applicable regulatory restrictions, follow the instructions of the Administrator in connection therewith.

SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases.

SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Transferor shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by contract or applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrator) or the Administrator, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

Without limiting any other rights which the Company may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Transferor, severally and for itself alone, hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them to the extent arising out of or as a result of (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by such Transferor herein or in any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or (b) the failure of such Transferor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; excluding, however, (x) Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (y) any indemnification which has the effect of recourse for non-payment or uncollectibility of the Receivables due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor and (z) any net income or franchise tax imposed on such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or any other taxes imposed against such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the extent such taxes are measured by or against the gross income or net income or receipts of such Person.

If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each Transferor agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

(b) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than as permitted by the Purchase and Sale Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before Originator shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Company Note.

Exhibit B-3

to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii) Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrator (acting on behalf of the Purchasers) may, in the name of Holder or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of Holder relating to this Company Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(c) In the event that Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Company or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Company Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Company Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by Holder to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith. All payments and distributions received by the Administrator in respect of this Company Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Company Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between Originator and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Administrator (in the order of application set forth in Section 1.4(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Company and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand.

Purchase and Sale Agreement
(Cincinnati Xxxx)

Exhibit B-4

(f) Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Company Note or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Company Note into an equity interest in the Company, unless Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrator;

(g) Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrator and Purchaser, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

(j) Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

(l) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate

Purchase and Sale Agreement
(Cincinnati Xxxx)

Exhibit B-5

and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(m) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this Company Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrator may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Company Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to Originator on any date shall be computed at Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to Originator computed at Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be

Purchase and Sale Agreement
(Cincinnati Xxxx)

Exhibit B-6

computed at Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. Governing Law. THIS COMPANY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

13. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Company Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Company Note.
