SECTION 3.           Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.  The Issuer represents and warrants to the Initial Purchaser that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(a)           (A) At 2:00 p.m. on May 3, 2011, the time of the first contract of sale by the Initial Purchaser for any notes (the “Time of Sale”), the Preliminary Offering Memorandum did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (B) the Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to information contained in or omitted from the Initial Purchaser Information (as defined in Section 13).

(b)           The statements in the Offering Memorandum under the captions “Description of the Management Agreement,” “Description of the Contribution and Sale Agreement,” “Description of the Series 2011-2 Notes and the Indenture” and “Description of the Transition Agent Agreement,” insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the principal terms of the Notes and the Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents conform in all material respects to the terms of the Notes and the Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents.

(c)           The Issuer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.  The Issuer is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Issuer or the ability of the Issuer to perform any of its obligations under any Series 2011-2 Transaction Document to which it is a party.

(d)           The Issuer has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Notes.  Each Note has been duly and validly authorized by the Issuer and, from and after the date on which such Note is executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Series 2011-2 Supplement and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be validly issued and outstanding and shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as 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.

(e)           The Issuer has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and the Issuer is and will continue to be authorized to perform its obligations under the Indenture, this Agreement and the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Agreement and the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transactions thereunder do not require any consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, stockholder or any other Person, other than any such consents or approvals that have been obtained on or prior to the 2011-2 Closing Date or

6

which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(f)            This Agreement is, and each Series 2011-2 Transaction Document to which the Issuer is a party, when duly executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto, will be, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

(g)           This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Issuer.

(h)           The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents by the Issuer and the execution, delivery and payment of the Notes by the Issuer will not: (a) contravene any provision of the Issuer’s certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement; or (b) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties hereto or thereto and the performance by those parties of their agreements and obligations herein or therein, contravene, conflict with or violate any Applicable Law or regulation, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Issuer; or (c) violate or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under the Indenture, the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents, any other indenture or other loan or credit agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer, or its property and assets may be bound or affected; except for, in the cases of clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, any such contravention, conflict, violation, breach or default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(i)            Except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Issuer, threatened against it before any court, regulatory body, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) that asserts the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Series 2011-2 Transaction Document, or (ii) if determined adversely to the Issuer would individually or in the aggregate have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer to perform any of its obligations under the Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(j)            The Issuer does not own any “margin security”, as that term is defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board. None of the proceeds to the Issuer of the Notes will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the loans under the Series 2011-2 Supplement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U and X.  The Issuer will not take or permit any agent acting on its behalf to take any action which might cause the Notes or any document or instrument delivered by the Issuer pursuant to the Series 2011-2 Supplement to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

(k)           The Issuer is not: an “investment company,” or an “affiliated person” of, or a “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined

7

in the Investment Company Act. The issuance of the Notes hereunder and the application of the proceeds thereof by the Issuer and the performance of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, the Series 2011-2 Supplement and the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents will not violate any provision of the Investment Company Act, or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

(l)            None of the Issuer, any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on its or their behalf has engaged in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in Regulation S) with respect to any Notes (provided that no representation is made as to the actions of the Initial Purchaser or any Person acting on its behalf).  The Issuer, its Affiliates and any Person acting on its or their behalf (provided that no representation is made as to the actions of the Initial Purchaser or any Person acting on its behalf) have complied with the offering restrictions and the requirements of Regulation S in connection with any offering of Notes outside the United States.

(m)          Assuming the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchaser in Section 9 are true and assuming the compliance by the Initial Purchaser with its covenants and agreements set forth herein, it is not necessary to register any of the Notes under the Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in connection with the initial sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement or for the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchaser in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

(n)           On the date hereof and the Closing Date, (i) each of the representations and warranties of the Issuer that is set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture or the other Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents is and shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that such representations or warranties specifically relate to an earlier date), and (ii) the Issuer is not and shall not be in breach, in any material respect, of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Series 2011-2 Transaction Document.

(o)           No Event of Default or Early Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing.  No event or condition that with notice or the passage of time (or both) could reasonably be expected to constitute an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event has occurred or is continuing.

(p)           The Notes meet the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) of the Act.

(q)           Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates has purchased, or is purchasing, any Notes.

(r)            The Issuer has not engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Act).

(s)           As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties made by the Issuer in the Transaction Documents or made by the Issuer in any certificate delivered pursuant to the Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects unless such representation or warranty relates solely to an earlier date in which case such information shall be true and correct on such earlier date.

8

(t)            Except for the Initial Purchaser, neither the Issuer nor the Manager has employed or retained a broker, finder, commission agent or other person in connection with the sale of the Notes, and neither the Issuer nor the Manager is under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with such sale.

(u)           The Issuer agrees that it and each of its Affiliates will not offer or sell the Notes in the United States by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Act, including, but not limited to (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.  The Issuer agrees, with respect to resales made in reliance on Rule 144A of any of the Notes, to deliver either with the confirmation of such resale or otherwise prior to settlement of such resale a notice to the effect that the resale of such Notes has been made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

SECTION 3A.             Representations and Warranties of the Manager.  The Manager represents and warrants to the Initial Purchaser that as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date: (i) each of the representations and warranties of the Manager that is set forth in the Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents to which it is a party is and shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation or warranty specifically relates to an earlier date in which case it will be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), and (ii) the Manager is not and shall not be in breach, in any material respect, of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any other Series 2011-2 Transaction Document to which it is a party.

SECTION 4.           Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Notes.  On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, Issuer agrees to sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Issuer, on the Closing Date, the principal amount of the Notes set forth on Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such respective Initial Purchaser.  The Notes are to be purchased by the Initial Purchaser at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.  Except for any Notes issued to Institutional Accredited Investors which Notes shall be issued as Definitive Notes, the Notes shall be Book-Entry Notes, and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company.  The delivery of and payment for the Notes shall be made at the offices of SNR ▇▇▇▇▇▇ US LLP, at 10:00 a.m., New York time on May 13, 2011 or at such other place, time or date as the Initial Purchaser and the Issuer may agree upon, such time and date of delivery against payment being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”. The Issuer shall make copies of the Notes available for checking by the Initial Purchaser at the offices of the Initial Purchaser at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date. The purchase price of the Notes paid by the Initial Purchaser shall be remitted by wire transfer to the Indenture Trustee.

SECTION 5.           Offering by the Initial Purchaser.

(a)           The Initial Purchaser proposes to make an offering of the Notes, upon the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum, as soon as practicable after this Agreement is entered into

and as in its judgment is advisable. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Initial Purchaser shall have completed the initial resale of all of the Notes and (ii) 90 days after the date of this Agreement, the Issuer agrees to reasonably assist the Initial Purchaser in any marketing of the Notes and (promptly upon request) to provide all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Initial Purchaser in such marketing. In addition, during such period the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate officers and representatives of the Issuer available to participate in information meetings for potential investors at such times and places as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably request.

(b)           The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuer with respect to the offering of the Notes contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Issuer or any other Person.  Additionally, the Initial Purchaser is not advising the Issuer or any other Person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction.  The Issuer shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Initial Purchaser shall have no responsibility or liability to the Issuer with respect thereto.  Any review by the Initial Purchaser of the Issuer, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchaser and shall not be on behalf of the Issuer.

(c)           The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that:

(i)            the Issuer has been advised that the Initial Purchaser and its Affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Issuer and that the Initial Purchaser has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Issuer by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(ii)           the Issuer waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Initial Purchaser for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Initial Purchaser shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Issuer in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any Person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Issuer, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Issuer.

SECTION 6.           Covenants of the Issuer.  The Issuer covenants and agrees with the Initial Purchaser that:

(a)           The Issuer shall not amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto unless the Initial Purchaser previously shall have been advised thereof and been furnished a copy thereof prior to the proposed amendment or supplement and shall not have reasonably objected in writing within five (5) Business Days after being furnished a copy thereof.  If, at any time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which Initial Purchaser shall have completed the

10

initial resale of all of the Notes and (ii) 90 days after the date of this Agreement, any event occurs as a result of which the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any such time to amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum to comply with any Applicable Law, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Initial Purchaser thereof and shall prepare and deliver to the Initial Purchaser, at the expense of the Issuer, an amendment of or supplement to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

In the event that the Initial Purchaser shall incur any costs in connection with the reformation of a contract of sale with any investor that received a Preliminary Offering Memorandum that contains or contained any untrue statement of material fact or failed to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Issuer and the Manager jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchaser for such costs, provided that the untrue statement or omission in such Preliminary Offering Memorandum did not relate solely to Initial Purchaser Information (as defined in Section 13 hereof).

(b)           The Issuer will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for qualification or exemption of the Notes for sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any state that the Initial Purchaser shall reasonably request and shall pay all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the qualification or exemption and in connection with the determination of the eligibility of the Notes for investment under the laws of the jurisdictions that the Initial Purchaser may reasonably designate and will continue such qualifications or exemptions in effect in such jurisdictions until the earlier of (x) the date on which Initial Purchaser shall have completed the initial resale of all of the Notes and (y) 90 days after the date of this Agreement, provided that the Issuer will not be required to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction it is not now so qualified, (ii) take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits (other than those suits arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes) in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject or (iii) subject it to taxation in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(c)           The Issuer shall, without charge, provide to the Initial Purchaser as many copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably request.

(d)           The Issuer (or any of its “affiliates” as defined in Regulation D under the Act), directly or through any agent, shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Act) that is integrated with the sale of the Notes hereunder in a manner that would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act or the safe harbor of Regulation S thereunder to cease to be applicable to the offer and sale of the Notes hereunder.

(e)           Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates shall contact or solicit potential investors to purchase any Note, engage any Person to assist in the placement or sale of the Notes

11

or sell any Notes to any Person, in the case of each of the foregoing, other than the Initial Purchaser except as consented to in writing by the Initial Purchaser.

(f)            The Issuer shall cause the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(g)           Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates shall sell or otherwise transfer any Notes that have been acquired by any of them.

(h)           Except with respect to the Notes to be issued on the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall not issue any U.S. dollar denominated debt securities similar to the Notes which are either placed or syndicated by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates in the international or U.S. capital markets, directly or on their behalf, in any manner which could in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchaser have a detrimental effect on the successful offering, sale or resale of the Notes unless mutually agreed to in writing by the Initial Purchaser and the Issuer.

(i)            During the period of two years after the Closing Date, the Issuer will not be or become an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.

(j)            If the rating assigned to the Notes is dependent upon the delivery to the Rating Agency of the executed Series 2011-2 Transaction Documents, the Issuer shall deliver such documents to the Rating Agency within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(k)           The Issuer agrees that, in order to render the Notes eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, while any of the Notes remain outstanding, to make available, upon request, to any Noteholder or prospective purchasers of Notes the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) (unless the Issuer is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act).

(l)            Neither the Issuer nor the Manager will take or permit, or cause any of their Affiliates to take, any action whatsoever which would have the effect of requiring the registration under the Act of the offering or sale of the Notes contemplated by the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum.

(m)          So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will furnish to the Initial Purchaser, by first-class mail, as soon as practicable:  (i) copies of all documents required to be distributed to the Noteholders; and (ii) from time to time, such other information concerning the Issuer or the Manager as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably request.

(i)            any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing, or

(ii)           the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

18

and in each case shall reimburse, as incurred, each Initial Purchaser Indemnitee for any legal or other out-of-pocket fees, charges or expenses, in each case, reasonably incurred by any Initial Purchaser Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any Loss, litigation, claim, suit, proceeding or action, whether commenced or threatened (any such litigation, claims, suits, proceedings, and actions being referred to collectively as “Proceedings” and individually as a “Proceeding”); provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Manager shall be liable in any case under this Section 10 to the extent that any Loss (or claims, actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto that, in the case of each of the foregoing, is made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information (as such term is defined in Section 13(a)); provided, further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any Loss (or claims, actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof) shall not inure to the benefit of the Initial Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to any Loss (or claims, actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing, or (y) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if: (1) the Issuer furnished sufficient copies of the Offering Memorandum or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto on a timely basis to permit delivery of the Offering Memorandum or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto to all Persons purchasing notes from the Initial Purchaser in the initial resale of such notes (such Persons “Initial Resale Purchasers”) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Notes to such Person; (2) the Initial Resale Purchaser asserting such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Notes in the initial resale from the Initial Purchaser and a copy of the Offering Memorandum or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser to such Initial Resale Purchaser; and (3) the Offering Memorandum or such amendment thereof or supplement thereto would have cured the defect giving rise to such Loss (or claims, actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof).

(b)           The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuer, the Manager, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act) the Issuer or the Manager against any reasonable and documented Losses to which the Issuer, the Manager or any other such indemnified party may become subject, insofar as the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

(i)            any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information provided by the Initial Purchaser, or

19

(ii)           the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment of or supplement to any of the foregoing, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information provided by the Initial Purchaser,

and in each case shall reimburse, as incurred, each indemnified party for any legal or other out-of-pocket fees, charges or expenses, in each case, reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any Loss or Proceeding, whether commenced or threatened.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Initial Purchaser’s indemnification obligations shall be limited in amount to the aggregate of total compensation received by it in connection with its duties as the Initial Purchaser of the Notes, excluding any amounts received by the Initial Purchaser pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.

(d)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 10 (as applicable) unless and except to the extent that the failure to notify results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses. If any Proceeding is brought that involves any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable and documented costs of investigation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an indemnifying party, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties, together with any necessary local counsel.  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Proceeding, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel therein, and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of its counsel shall be borne exclusively by the indemnified party without any right or entitlement to reimbursement by an indemnifying party except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence and in the preceding paragraph.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such

20

indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e)           In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding subsections is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses or Proceedings, each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of Losses or Proceedings in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by Applicable Law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in Losses or Proceedings.  It is the parties’ intention that, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, (A) the relative benefits received by the Issuer on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) of the Notes bear to the total compensation received by the Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering, and (B) the relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer on the one hand, or the Initial Purchaser on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

The Issuer and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of contribution pursuant to this section were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total compensation received by them in connection with its duties as Initial Purchaser of the Notes, less the aggregate amount of any damages that they otherwise have been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements, or the omissions or alleged omissions to state, a material fact.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this subsection, each Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent and representative of the Initial Purchaser and the Person who controls the Initial Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act) shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchaser, and each Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent and representative of the Issuer and each Person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act), shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer.

SECTION 11.         Survival; Scope of Liability.  The respective representations (as of the date made), warranties (as of the date made), agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Issuer, the Initial Purchaser and their respective officers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of any of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the

21

Initial Purchaser or any of their respective officers or directors, or any controlling Person referred to in Section 10 and (b) delivery of and payment for the Notes or resale thereof. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in this Section 11 and in Sections 7, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 25 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.         Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Initial Purchaser by notice to the Issuer given on or prior to the Closing Date in the event that (A) any TAL Person shall have, in any material respect, failed, refused or been unable to perform, all obligations on its part to be performed hereunder at or prior thereto or (B) if, on or prior to the Closing Date, there shall have occurred any of the events or conditions set forth in Section 8(f) hereof.

Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the Initial Purchaser shall be entitled to any fees, costs and expenses payable, in each case in accordance with Section 7.

SECTION 13.         Supplied Information.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the information described in Schedule II hereto constitutes the only information furnished by the Initial Purchaser to the Issuer for purposes of inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement of or to any of the foregoing. “Initial Purchaser Information” means the information described in Schedule II hereto, but only to the extent that such information relates to the respective Initial Purchaser.

SECTION 15.         Successors.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchaser, the Issuer, the Manager and their respective successors and legal representatives.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and the controlling Persons, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives referred to in Section 10 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.  This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and such controlling Persons, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other Person.  No purchaser of a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note from the Initial Purchaser shall be deemed a successor because of such purchase.

SECTION 16.         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts (which may include facsimile), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 17.         Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE
