(f) The nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm whose report appears in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, are independent registered public accountants as required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. In the event that a report of a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm regarding historical financial information with respect to any entity acquired by the Company is required to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, such independent registered public accountants were independent public accountants, as required by the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, during the period of their engagement to examine the financial statements being reported on and at the date of their report.

(g) The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Prospectus and the Registration Statement present, and will present, as of the applicable Representation Date and during each period during which solicitations of offers to purchase Securities have not been suspended or during which, in the opinion of counsel to the Agent, a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations) (each a “Marketing Period”), fairly on a consolidated basis the financial position, the results of operations, changes in common stock and stockholder’s equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the respective dates and for the respective periods indicated, all in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, if any, included in the Prospectus and the Registration Statement and the related notes are, and will be, as of the applicable Representation Date and during each Marketing Period, true, complete and correct, subject to normally recurring changes resulting from year-end audit adjustments, and prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations.

(h) Except as described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there has not been any material adverse change in, or any adverse development which materially affects, the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole from the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(i) The Securities conform to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus, are duly and validly authorized, and, when validly authenticated, issued and delivered in

accordance with the Indenture and sold as provided in this Agreement, will be validly issued and outstanding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(j) The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Indenture (i) has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), (ii) complies as to form with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and (iii) conforms to the description thereof in the Prospectus.

(k) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of any related transactions described in the Registration Statement will not (i) conflict with, result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, indenture or instrument, (ii) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or (iii) result in the violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or their property, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above for such conflict or violation that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the business, condition or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”). Except as set forth in the Prospectus or as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act and applicable state securities laws, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. “Significant Subsidiary” means any subsidiary of the Company with assets greater than or equal to 7.5% of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP (the “Consolidated Assets”). For the purposes of this definition, the Consolidated Assets at any time shall be determined on the basis of the financial statements in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the Commission.

(l) Each of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries have been duly organized, are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of formation, are duly qualified to do business and in good standing as foreign corporations and are duly registered as a broker-dealer, broker, dealer or investment advisor, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction in which their respective ownership of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification or registration, except for such jurisdictions in which the failure to qualify, to be in good standing or to register would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each

of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries holds all licenses, permits, and certificates from governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its business and owns, or possesses adequate rights to use, all rights necessary for the conduct of such business and has not, to the Company’s knowledge, received any notice of conflict with the asserted rights of others in respect thereof, except in each case where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and each of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries has the power and authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged. Neither the Company nor any of the Significant Subsidiaries is in violation of its organizational documents or in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument, the effect of which violation or default would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as may be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Significant Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and, except for directors’ qualifying shares, are owned by the Company, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, free and clear of any lien, pledge and encumbrance or any claim of any third party.

(m) Except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which might reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(n) The Company is not, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

(o) The certificates delivered pursuant to paragraph (d) of Section 5 hereof and all other documents delivered by the Company or its representatives in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities were on the dates on which they were delivered, or will be on the dates on which they are to be delivered, in all material respects true and complete.

(p) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to one or more Purchasers (as hereinafter defined) or to counsel for the Purchasers in connection with an offering of the Securities to one or more Purchasers as principal or through the Agent or an Additional Agent as agent shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to such Purchasers, Agent or Additional Agents (as the case may be) as to the matters covered thereby on the date of such certificate and, unless subsequently amended or supplemented, at each Representation Date subsequent thereto.

SECTION 2 Solicitations as Agent. (a) On the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Agent agrees, as exclusive agent of the Company, to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus. The Agent shall not otherwise employ, pay or compensate any other person to solicit offers to purchase the Securities or to perform any of its functions as agent without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities commencing at any time for any period of time or

The Agent is authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Securities only in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, or such other denominations or purchase price as shall be specified by the Company. The Agent shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Securities received by it as Agent. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase the Securities and may reject any such offer in whole or in part. The Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised without advising the Company, to reject any offer to purchase the Securities received by it in whole in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreement contained herein.

(b) Promptly upon the closing of the sale of any Securities sold by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by the Agent, the Company agrees to pay the Agent a commission agreed to between the Company and the Agent.

(c) The Agent represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that it has not made, and will not make, any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405), without the prior written consent of the Company, other than one or more free writing prospectuses relating to the Securities containing customary information not inconsistent with the Term Sheet (as defined in Section 3(a) below) prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof.

(d) Administrative procedures respecting the sale of each of the Securities shall be agreed upon from time to time by the Agent and the Company (the “Procedures”).

SECTION 3 Covenants of the Company.

(d) If, during any Marketing Period, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary 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 time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will notify the Agent promptly to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Securities; and if the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, it will promptly advise the Agent by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any amendment of the Registration Statement containing an amended Prospectus to be made effective as soon as possible.

(i) The Company will furnish such information, execute such instruments and take such actions as may be required to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Agent may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the sale of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(viii) To such counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of the Domestic Significant Subsidiaries is in violation of its corporate charter or by-laws, nor in default under any agreement, indenture or instrument known to such counsel, which violation or default might reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ix) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company; the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company will not conflict with, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company or the Domestic Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel and to which the Company or the Domestic Significant Subsidiaries is a party or bound, or result in a violation of the corporate charter or by-laws of the Company or the Domestic Significant Subsidiaries or any statute, rule, regulation or any order known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company, the Domestic Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, the effect of which conflict, violation or default might reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(x) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission, and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations has been received by the Company.

(xi) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except that no opinion need be expressed as to the financial statements and notes thereto or the schedules or other financial or statistical data or the Form T-1 included or incorporated by reference therein), comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations.

Such counsel shall also have furnished a statement that although such counsel is not passing upon and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except as to those matters stated in paragraph (iii) of this subsection (b)), such counsel has no reason to believe that (A) the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) the Prospectus as of its date and as of the Closing Date contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (except, with respect to (A) or (B) above, that no statement need be made as to the financial statements and notes thereto or the schedules or other financial or statistical data or the Form T-1 included or incorporated by reference therein). In rendering such opinion and statement, such counsel may rely upon opinions of local counsel satisfactory to the Agent for matters not governed by New York law and may rely as to matters of fact, to the extent he or she deems proper, upon certificates or affidavits of officers of the Company, the Trustee

and public officials. Such counsel may rely on a certificate of the Trustee with respect to the execution of the Securities by the Company and the authentication thereof by the Trustee.

(c) At the Closing Date, the Agent shall have received from counsel to the Agent such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other related matters as the Agent may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(d) The Company shall have furnished to the Agent on the Closing Date a certificate of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, any Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President or Vice President, and its Chief Financial Officer, its Treasurer, its Financial Controller or its Global Head of Asset Liability Management (or other officer performing substantially the same function), dated the day of the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and this Agreement, and that, to the best of their knowledge, after due inquiry:

(i) The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date.

(ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations has been received by the Company.

(iii) (i) the Registration Statement does not contain 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 not misleading, (ii) the Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) since the effective date of the Registration Statement there has not occurred any event required to be set forth in an amended or supplemented Prospectus which has not been so set forth.

(e) At the Closing Date, a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm shall have furnished to the Agent a letter, dated the day of the Closing Date, confirming that they are independent auditors with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, stating in effect that:

(i) In their opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the supporting schedules, included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and audited by them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and regulations thereunder.

(ii) On the basis of a reading of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and of the latest unaudited consolidated financial statements made available by the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc., carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards), a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the directors of the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc., and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its subsidiaries, as to transactions and events subsequent to the date of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that:

(A) any material modifications should be made to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles; and such financial statements do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the published instructions, rules and regulations thereunder;

(B) the unaudited capsule information of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus does not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company from which it was derived or was not determined on a basis substantially consistent with that of the corresponding financial information in the latest audited financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus;

(C) (I) as of the latest date as of which the Company and its subsidiaries have monthly financial statements, as compared to amounts shown in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there was any change in the capital stock (other than issuances of common stock upon the exercise of options or employee awards and the repurchase of common stock in the ordinary course of business to provide for common stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options or employee awards), or increase in long-term indebtedness, or decrease in net assets or stockholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries and (II) from the date of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus to the latest date as of which the Company and its subsidiaries have monthly financial statements, there was any consolidated loss from operations before taxes or consolidated net loss of the Company and its subsidiaries; or

(D) as of a specified date no more than three business days prior to the date of the letter, as compared to the date of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there was any change in capital stock (other than issuances of common stock upon the exercise of options or employee awards and the repurchase of common stock in the ordinary course of business to provide for common stock to

be issued pursuant to the exercise of options or employee awards), or increase in long-term indebtedness, or decrease in net assets or stockholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries;

except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof, unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Agent.

(iii) If pro forma financial statements are included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (x) they have read such pro forma financial statements, (y) they have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company as to the basis for their determination of the pro forma adjustments and whether such pro forma financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X and (z) they have proved the arithmetic accuracy of the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical amounts; and as a result thereof, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that such pro forma financial statements do not so comply with Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X and that such pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements.

(iv) They have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is expressed in dollars, or percentages derived from dollar amounts, and has been obtained from the general accounting records of the Company) set forth in the Registration Statement, as amended, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, and in Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including specified information, if any, included or incorporated from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated therein or specified information, if any, included or incorporated from any of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or its Current Reports on Form 8-K incorporated therein, agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries or computations made therefrom, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

(f) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities.

(g) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Prospectus there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which is, in the judgment of the Agent, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the

delivery of the Securities being delivered on such Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in any Prospectus.

(h) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Agent such further information, certificates and documents as the Agent or counsel to the Agent may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or if any of the certificates or opinions furnished to the Agent or to counsel to the Agent pursuant to this Section 5 shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent and to counsel to the Agent, this Agreement and all obligations of the Agent hereunder may be cancelled by the Agent. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing, or by telegraph confirmed in writing.

SECTION 6 Additional Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that:

(a) Each acceptance by it of an offer for the purchase of Securities shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at the time of such acceptance and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct in all material respects at the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Securities relating to such acceptance 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 and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to each such time).

(b) During each Marketing Period, each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented or the Company shall file with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (other than by filing with the Commission of an exhibit to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that does not relate to the Securities, a prospectus supplement not relating to the Securities or an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedule or maturities of the Securities or a change in the principal amount of Securities remaining to be sold or other information contemplated by the Prospectus to be filed in a pricing supplement related to the Securities or similar changes, or any other change that the Agent reasonably deems immaterial), the Company shall, (i) within two (2) business days after such amendment, supplement or filing or (ii) if such amendment, supplement or filing was not filed during a Marketing Period, within two (2) business days after the first day of the next succeeding Marketing Period, furnish the Agent with a certificate of the Chairman of the Board, any Vice Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, any Executive Vice President or any Vice President and the Treasurer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Senior Vice President and Director of Global Asset and Liability Management of the Company in form satisfactory to the Agent to the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in Section 5(d) hereof which was last furnished to the Agent are true and correct at the time of such amendment or supplement or filing, 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 and the Prospectus 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 5(d), modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery

of such certificate. If requested by the Lead Manager (which term shall have the meaning specified in the Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or, if there is only a single Purchaser, shall mean such Purchaser), in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement in connection with the purchase of Securities from the Company by the Agent or one or more other Purchasers as principal, the Company shall deliver to the Lead Manager on behalf of the Purchasers on the Settlement Date (as defined in the applicable Purchase Agreement) a certificate of the type described in the previous sentence.

(c) During each Marketing Period, each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented or the Company shall file with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (other than by filing with the Commission of an exhibit to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that does not relate to the Securities, an amendment or supplement to or document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or Prospectus setting forth only financial statements or other financial information (including any press release announcing earnings), a prospectus supplement not relating to the Securities or an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedule or maturities of the Securities or a change in the principal amount of Securities remaining to be sold or other information contemplated by the Prospectus to be filed in a pricing supplement related to the Securities or similar changes, or any other change that the Agent reasonably deems immaterial), the Company shall, (i) within two (2) business days after such amendment, supplement or filing or (ii) if such amendment, supplement or filing was not filed during a Marketing Period, within two (2) business days after the first day of the next succeeding Marketing Period, furnish the Agent with the written opinion of an Associate General Counsel to the Company, addressed to the Agent and dated the date of delivery of such opinion, in form satisfactory to the Agent, of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 5(b) hereof, but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion, such counsel may furnish the Agent with a letter to the effect that the Agent may rely on a prior opinion delivered under Section 5(b) or this Section 6(c) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance). If requested by the Lead Manager, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement in connection with the purchase of Securities from the Company by the Agent or one or more other Purchasers as principal, the Company shall deliver to the Lead Manager on behalf of the Purchasers on the Settlement Date an opinion of counsel of the type described in the previous sentence.

(d) During each Marketing Period, each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented to include additional financial information or the Company files with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus which contains additional financial information (other than information that the Agent reasonably deems immaterial), the Company shall cause the Company’s auditors to furnish the Agent, (i) within two (2) business days after such amendment, supplement or filing or (ii) if such amendment, supplement or filing was not filed during a Marketing Period, within two (2) business days after the first day of the next succeeding marketing Period, a letter, addressed to the Agent and dated the date of delivery of such letter, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(e) hereof but modified to relate

to the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter, with such changes as may be necessary to reflect changes in the financial statements and other information derived from the accounting records of the Company; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented solely to include financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, the Company’s auditor may limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in such amendment or supplement unless there is contained therein any other accounting, financial or statistical information that, in the Agent’s reasonable judgment, should be covered by such letter, in which event such letter shall also cover such other information. If requested by the Lead Manager, in its sole discretion, pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement in connection with the purchase of Securities from the Company by the Agent or one or more other Purchasers as principal, the Company shall deliver to the Lead Manager on behalf of the Purchasers on the Settlement Date a letter of the type described in the previous sentence.

SECTION 7 Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action or pending action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Securities), to which the Agent, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or pending action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement, as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (C) any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) with the consent of the Company and used or referred to by the Agent, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse the Agent and each such officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or pending action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or pending action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Agent furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have to the Agent or to any officer, employee or controlling person of the Agent.

(b) The Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, employees, each of its directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action or pending action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or pending action arises out of, or is based

upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Registration Statement, as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Agent furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Agent specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company and any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or pending action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Agent may otherwise have to the Company or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and either (i) the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties mutually agree or (ii) representation of both the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties by the same counsel is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the Agent in the case of subparagraph (a) representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a), as the case may be, who are parties to such action), (ii) 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 commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written

consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action or pending action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or pending action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or pending action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Agent with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased by it exceeds the amount of any damages which the Agent has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent

misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The Agent confirms and the Company acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any issue of Securities, the names of the Agents on the cover of the Prospectus, the concession and reallowance figures in the Pricing Supplement for such Securities and the paragraphs relating to stabilization by the Agent appearing under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Base Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning the Agent furnished in writing to the Company specifically for inclusion therein.

SECTION 8 Status of the Agent. In soliciting offers to purchase the Securities from the Company pursuant to this Agreement (other than offers to purchase pursuant to Section 11(a)), the Agent is acting solely as agent for the Company and not as principal. The Agent will make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities from the Company has been solicited by the Agent and accepted by the Company but the Agent shall have no liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Securities to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall (i) hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii), in particular, pay to the Agent any commission to which it would be entitled in connection with such sale.

SECTION 9 Representations and Warranties to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of the termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or any person controlling the Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Securities.

SECTION 10 Termination. (a) This Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time, by either party hereto upon the giving of one day’s written notice of such termination to the other party hereto. The provisions of Sections 3(h), 3(i), 4, 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) The obligations of the Agent hereunder or under any Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Agent by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for any issue of Securities if, prior to that time, (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or the settlement of such trading generally shall have been materially disrupted or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or state authorities, (iii) the United States shall have become engaged in hostilities, there shall have been an escalation in hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (iv) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions, including without limitation as a result of terrorist activities after the date hereof, or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such as to make it,

in the judgment of the Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Securities being delivered on such date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. The provisions of Sections 3(h), 3(i), 4, 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive any termination of a Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 11 (a) Purchases as Principal. From time to time the Agent or one or more additional financial institutions experienced in the distribution of securities similar to the Securities (each a “Purchaser”), may agree with the Company to purchase Securities from the Company as principal. Such agreement (a “Purchase Agreement”), if with the Agent only, may be oral (in which case a written confirmation of terms shall be delivered by the Agent to the Company) or may be made in accordance with the terms of a separate written agreement to be entered into between the Agent and/or the other Purchasers and the Company, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or in such other form as the company and the Agent and/or the other Purchasers may agree. Each Purchaser executing a written Purchase Agreement shall become a party to this Agreement, vested with all the authority, rights and powers and subject to all the duties and obligations of the Agent when purchasing Securities as a principal, as if originally named as an Agent hereunder, but solely in connection with and for the purposes of the issue of Securities identified in such Purchase Agreement. At the time of each purchase of Securities from the Company by the Agent or one or more other Purchasers as principal, the Lead Manager, in its sole discretion, shall specify the requirements for the officers’ certificate, opinion of counsel and comfort letter pursuant to Sections 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e) hereof.

(b) Additional Agents.

EXHIBIT A

▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Holdings Inc.

Medium-Term Notes, Series I

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

I. General Procedures

Medium-Term Notes, Series I (the “Notes”) are to be offered on a continuing basis by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Holdings Inc. (the “Company”). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc., as agent (the “Agent”), has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Notes. The Notes are being sold pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Company and the Agent dated May [ ], 2006 (the “Distribution Agreement”) to which these administrative procedures are attached as an exhibit. Terms defined in the Distribution Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in this exhibit.

Administrative responsibilities, document control and record-keeping functions to be performed by the Company will be performed by its Treasury Department. Administrative procedures for the offering are explained below.

Each Note will be represented by a Global Security (as defined hereinafter) delivered to the Trustee, as agent for the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC (a “Book-Entry Note”). An owner of a Book-Entry Note will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing such Note. In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, the Trustee will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representation from the Company and the Trustee to DTC dated as of the date hereof and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between the Trustee and DTC dated October 31, 1988, and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Exhibit B, Book-Entry Notes will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth below.

Price to Public

Each Note will be issued at 100% of principal amount, unless otherwise determined by the Company.

Date of Issuance

Each Note will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

B-1

Maturities

Each Note will mature on a Business Day (as defined below) selected by the purchaser and agreed upon by the Company, such date generally being more than three months from the date of issuance.

“Business Day” shall have the meaning as set forth in the prospectus supplement unless otherwise indicated in the pricing supplement.

Denominations

The Notes will be issued in the denomination of $1,000 and any larger denomination which is an integral multiple of $1,000, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

Registration

Notes will be issued only in fully registered form.

Interest Payments

Each Note bearing interest at a fixed rate will bear interest from its issue date at the annual rate stated on the face thereof. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest will be payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year (the “Interest Payment Dates”) and at maturity. Interest will be calculated and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months or, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed. Interest will be payable to the person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1, or such other dates as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement (the “Record Dates”), next preceding the respective Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable on a maturity date will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. The first payment of interest on any Note originally issued between a Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Record Date. All interest payments (excluding interest payments made at maturity) will be made by wire transfer by the Trustee or by check mailed by the Trustee to the person entitled thereto as provided above.

On the fifth Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee will notify the Company as to the total amount of the interest payments to be made on such Interest Payment Date. The Trustee (or any duly selected paying agent) will provide monthly to the Company’s Treasury Department a list of the principal and interest to be paid on Notes maturing in the next succeeding month. The Company will provide to the Trustee not later than the payment date sufficient moneys to pay in full all principal and interest payments due on such payment date. The Trustee will assume responsibility for withholding taxes on interest paid as required by law.

For special provisions relating to Floating Rate Notes, see Appendix A hereto.

B-2

Acceptance and Rejection of Offers

The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any such offer in whole or in part. The Agent shall promptly communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer to purchase Notes from the Company received by it other than those rejected by the Agent. The Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, without notifying the Company, to reject any offers in whole or in part.

Settlement

The receipt of immediately available funds by the Company in payment for a Note (less the applicable commission) and the authentication and issuance of such Note shall, with respect to such Note, constitute “Settlement”. All offers accepted by the Company will be settled from one to five Business Days from the date of acceptance by the Company pursuant to the timetable for Settlement set forth below unless the Company and the purchaser agree to Settlement on a later date; provided, however, that the Company will notify the Trustee of any such later date on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the Settlement date. Except as otherwise may be agreed to by the Company and the Agent, no Settlement of a Note will occur between a Record Date and an Interest Payment Date for that Note.

B-4

Settlement Procedure		Time (New York City)

B		3 PM on date of sale
C		3 PM on the Settlement date

Fails

In the event that a purchaser of a Note shall either fail to accept delivery of or make payment for a Note on the date fixed by the Company for Settlement, the Agent will immediately notify the Trustee and the Company’s Treasurer by telephone, confirmed in writing, of such failure and return the Note to the Trustee. Upon the Trustee’s receipt of the Note from the Agent, the Company will promptly return to the Agent an amount of immediately available funds equal to any amount previously transferred to the Company in respect of the Note pursuant to advances made by the Agent. Such returns will be made on the Settlement date, if possible, and in any event not later than 12 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Settlement date. The Company will reimburse the Agent on an equitable basis for its loss of the use of the funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Company. Upon receipt of the Note in respect of which the default occurred, the Trustee will ▇▇▇▇ the Note “cancelled”, make appropriate entries in its records and deliver the Note to the Company with an appropriate debit advice. The Agent will not be entitled to any commission with respect to any Note which the purchaser does not accept or make payment for.

Maturity

Upon presentation of each Note at maturity the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent) will pay the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest due at maturity. Such payment shall be made in immediately available funds, provided that the Note is presented to the Trustee (or any such Paying Agent) in time for the Trustee (or such Paying Agent) to make payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. The Company will provide the Trustee (and any such Paying Agent) with funds available for immediate use for such purpose. Notes presented at maturity will be cancelled by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture.

Procedure for Rate Changes

The Company will establish interest rates from time to time for the Notes then being offered and when a decision has been reached to change the interest rates of the Notes being sold by the Company, the Company will promptly advise the Agent, which will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers. The Agent will telephone the Company with recommendations as to the changed interest rates.

Suspension of Solicitation; Amendment or Supplement

If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

B-5

misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will notify the Agent promptly to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Securities and the Agent shall suspend its solicitations of purchases of securities; and if the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, it will promptly advise the Agent by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any amendment of the Registration Statement containing an amended Prospectus to be made effective as soon as possible. Upon the Agent’s receipt of such amendment or supplement and advice from the Company that solicitations may be resumed, the Agent will resume solicitations of purchases of the Securities.

In addition, subject to its representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Distribution Agreement, the Company may instruct the Agent to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase at any time for a period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of such instructions the Agent will forthwith (but in any event within one Business Day) suspend solicitation of offers to purchase from the Company until such time as the Company has advised it that solicitation of offers to purchase may be resumed. If the Company decides to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Notes (other than to change interest rates), it will promptly advise the Agent and the Trustee and will furnish the Agent and the Trustee with copies of the proposed amendment or supplement.

In the event that at the time the Agent, at the direction of the Company, suspends solicitation of offers to purchase from the Company there shall be any orders outstanding which have not been settled, the Company will promptly advise the Agent and the Trustee whether such orders may be settled and whether copies of the Prospectus as theretofore amended or supplemented as in effect at the time of the suspension may be delivered in connection with the Settlement of such orders. The Company will have the sole responsibility for such decision and for any arrangements which may be made in the event that the Company determines that such orders may not be settled or that copies of such Prospectus may not be so delivered.

Delivery of Prospectus

The Agent will, to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations), provide a copy of the relevant Prospectus, appropriately amended or supplemented, which must accompany or precede each written offer of a Note, if any, by the Agent, each written confirmation of a sale sent to a purchaser or his agent by the Agent and each Note delivered to a purchaser or his agent.

Authenticity of Signatures

The Company will cause the Trustee to furnish the Agent from time to time with the specimen signatures of each of the Trustee’s officers, employees and agents who have been authorized by the Trustee to authenticate Notes, but the Agent will have no obligation or liability to the Company or the Trustee in respect of the authenticity of the signature of any officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Trustee on any Note.

B-6

Advertising Costs

The Company will determine with the Agent the amount and nature of advertising that may be appropriate in offering the Notes. Advertising expenses in connection with solicitation of offers to purchase Notes from the Company will be paid by the Company.

II. Special Administrative Procedures for Book-Entry Notes Issuance

On any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for one or more Fixed Rate Book-Entry Notes, the Company will issue a single global security in fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Security”) representing up to each $500,000,000 principal amount of all of such Notes that have the same original issuance date, interest rate, optional redemption dates and Stated Maturity. Similarly, on any settlement date for one or more Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes, the Company will issue a single Global security representing up to each $500,000,000 principal amount of all of such Notes that have the same interest rate basis, original issuance date, Initial Interest Rate, Interest Payment Dates, Index Maturity, Spread, Spread Multiplier, minimum interest rate (if any), maximum interest rate (if any), optional redemption dates (if any), Stated Maturity and other terms. Each Global Security will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee. No Global Security will represent both Fixed Rate and Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes.

Identification Numbers

The Company will arrange, on or prior to commencement of a program for the offering of Book-Entry Notes, with the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services (the “CUSIP Service Bureau”) for the reservation of a series of CUSIP numbers (including tranche numbers), consisting of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers and relating to Global Securities representing the Book-Entry Notes. The Company has or will obtain from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of such series of reserved CUSIP numbers and will deliver to the Trustee and DTC such written list of 900 CUSIP numbers of such series. The Trustee will assign CUSIP numbers to Global Securities as described below under Settlement Procedure “B”. The Company will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that the Trustee has assigned to Global Securities. The Trustee will notify the Company at any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers remain unassigned to Global Securities, and if it deems necessary, the Company will reserve additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Global Securities representing Book-Entry Notes. Upon obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers the Company shall deliver such additional CUSIP numbers to the Trustee and DTC.

Registration

Each Global Security will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, on the Securities Register maintained under the Indenture. The

B-7

beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Note (or one or more indirect participants in DTC designated by such owner) will designate one or more participants in DTC (with respect to such Note, the “Participants”) to act as agent or agents for such owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by DTC, and DTC will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions provided by such Participants, a credit balance with respect to such Note in the account of such Participants. The ownership interest of such beneficial owner in such Note will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in DTC.

Transfers

Transfers of a Book-Entry Note will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect participants in DTC) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees of such Note.

Consolidation and Exchange

The Trustee may deliver to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice of consolidation specifying (i) the CUSIP number of two or more Outstanding Global Securities that represent (A) Fixed Rate Book-Entry Notes having the same interest rate, optional redemption dates (if any) and Stated Maturity and with respect to which interest has been paid to the same date or (B) Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes having the same interest rate basis, optional redemption dates (if any), Initial Interest Rate, Interest Payment Dates, Index Maturity, Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, minimum interest rate (if any), maximum interest rate (if any) and with respect to which interest has been paid to the same date, (ii) a date, occurring at least 30 days after such written notice is delivered and at least 30 days before the next Interest Payment Date for such Book-Entry Notes, on which such Global Securities shall be exchanged for a single replacement Global Security and (iii) a new CUSIP number, obtained from the Trustee, to be assigned to such replacement Global Security. Upon receipt of such a notice, DTC will send to its participants (including the Trustee) a written reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date, the Trustee will deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau a written notice setting forth such exchange date and the new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Global Securities to be exchanged will no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, the Trustee will exchange such Global Securities for a single Global Security bearing a new CUSIP number and dated the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the exchanged Global Securities, and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Global Securities will, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Global Securities to be exchanged exceed $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, one Global Security will be authenticated and issued to represent each $500,000,000 of

B-8

principal amount of the exchanged Global Securities and an additional Global Security will be authenticated and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Global Securities (see “Denominations” below).

Maturities

Each Book-Entry Note generally will mature on a date not less than three months after the settlement date for such Note. A Floating Rate Book Entry Note will mature only on an Interest Payment Date for such Note.

Denominations

Book-Entry Notes will be issued in principal amounts of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Global Securities will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of $500,000,000. If one or more Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000,000 would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global Security, then one Global security will be issued to represent each $500,000,000 principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes and an additional Global Security will be issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes. In such a case, each of the Global Securities representing such Book-Entry Note or Notes shall be assigned the same CUSIP number.

Interest

General. Interest on each Book-Entry Note will accrue from and including the last Interest Payment Date, except in the case of Floating Rate Notes which reset daily or weekly. Each payment of interest on a Book-Entry Note will include interest accrued through the day preceding, as the case may be, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity, except in the case of Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes which reset daily or weekly. In the case of Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes which reset daily or weekly, interest payments will include accrued interest from and including the original issuance date or from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, and including the Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, provided that at Maturity the interest payable will include interest accrued from and including the original issuance date or from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid through the day preceding Maturity. Interest payable at the Maturity of a Book-Entry Note will be payable to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable. Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services will use the information received in the pending deposit message described under Settlement Procedure “C” below in order to include the amount of any interest payable and certain other information regarding the related Global Security in the appropriate weekly bond report published by Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services.

B-9

Promptly after each Interest Determination Date (as defined in Appendix A hereto) for Floating Rate Notes, the Calculation Agent will notify the Trustee after confirmation with the Company, and the Trustee in turn will notify Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services, of the interest rates determined on such Interest Determination Date.

Payments of Principal and Interest

Payments of Interest Only. Promptly after each Regular Record Date, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written notice specifying by CUSIP number the amount of interest to be paid on each Global Security on the following Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date coinciding with maturity) and the total of such amounts. DTC will confirm the amount payable on each Global Security on such Interest Payment Date by reference to the daily bond reports published by Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services. The Company will pay to the Trustee, as paying agent, the total amount of interest due on such Interest Payment Date (other than at Maturity), and the Trustee will pay such amount to DTC at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment”.

Payments at Maturity. On or about the first Business Day of each month, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and DTC a written list of principal and interest to be paid on each Global Security maturing in the following month. The Company, the Trustee and DTC will confirm the amounts of such principal and interest payments with respect to each such Global Security on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity of such Global Security, except for Notes with a daily reset period in which case the Company, the Trustee and DTC will confirm the amount of the principal payable with respect to each such Global Security on or about the fifth Business Day preceding Maturity and the amount of interest payable with respect to such Global Security two Business Days preceding the maturity of such Global Security. The Company will pay to the Trustee, as the paying agent, the principal amount of such Global Security, together with interest due at such Maturity. The Trustee will pay such amount to DTC at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner of Payment”.

Promptly after payment to DTC of the principal and interest due at the Maturity of such Global Security, the Trustee will cancel such Global Security and deliver it to the Company with an appropriate debit advice.

Manner of Payment. The total amount of any principal and interest due on Global Securities on any Interest Payment Date or at Maturity shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee in funds available for use by the Trustee as of 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on such date. The Company will make such payment on such Global Securities by instructing the Trustee to withdraw funds from an account maintained by the Company at the Trustee. The Company will confirm such instructions in writing to the Trustee. For maturity, redemption or any other principal payments: prior to 10 A.M. (New York City time) on such date or as

B-10

soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will make such payments to DTC in same day funds in accordance with DTC’s Same Day Funds Settlement Paying Agent Operating Procedures. For interest payments: the Trustee will make such payments to DTC in accordance with existing arrangements between DTC and the Trustee. DTC will allocate such payments to its participants in accordance with its existing operating procedures. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any direct responsibility or liability for the payment by DTC to such Participants of the principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes.

Withholding Taxes. The amount of any taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Book-Entry Note will be determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in DTC or other Person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the beneficial owner of such Note.

Acceptance and Rejection of Offers

Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agent will advise the Company promptly by telephone of all offers to purchase Book-Entry Notes received by the Agent, other than those rejected by it in whole or in part in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and each of the Agent, the Company has the sole right to accept offers to purchase Book-Entry Notes and may reject any such offer in whole or in part.

The receipt by the Company of immediately available funds in payment for a Book-Entry Note and the authentication and issuance of the Global Security representing such Note shall constitute “settlement” with respect to such Note.

deliver order shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Trustee to DTC that (i) the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Note has been issued and authenticated and (ii) the Trustee is holding such Global Security pursuant to the Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between the Trustee and DTC (the “Certificate Agreement”).

J. The Agent will enter an SDFS deliver order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System instructing DTC (i) to debit such Note to the Agent’s participant account and credit such Note to the participant accounts of the Participants with respect to such Note and (ii) to debit the settlement accounts of such Participants and credit the settlement account of the Agent for an amount equal to the price of such Note.

K. Transfers of funds in accordance with SDFS deliver orders described in Settlement Procedures “I” and “J” will be settled in accordance with SDFS operating procedures in effect on the settlement date.

L. The Trustee will credit to an account of the Company maintained at the Trustee funds available for immediate use in the amount transferred to the Trustee in accordance with Settlement Procedure “I”.

M. Monthly, the Trustee will send to the Company a statement setting forth the principal amount of Book-Entry Notes Outstanding as of that date under the Indenture and setting forth a brief description of any sales of which Company has advised the Trustee but which have not yet been settled.

N. The Agent will, to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations), deliver to the purchaser a copy of the most recent Prospectus applicable to the Note with or prior to any written offer of Notes and the confirmation and payment by the purchaser of the Note.

O. The Agent will confirm the purchase of such Note to the purchaser either by transmitting to the Participants with respect to such Note a confirmation order or orders through DTC’s institutional delivery system or by mailing a written confirmation to such purchaser.

Settlement Procedures Timetable

For orders of Book-Entry Notes solicited by the Agent, as agent, and accepted by the Company for settlement on the first Business Day after the sale date, Settlement Procedures “A” through “N” set forth above shall be completed as soon as possible but not later than the respective times (New York City time) set forth below:

Settlement Procedure Time

A-C		11:00 A.M. on the sale date
D, E		2:00 P.M. on the sale date
F		9:00 A.M. on settlement date

B-14

G, H		10:00 A.M. on settlement date
I,J		2:00 P.M. on settlement date
K		4:45 P.M. on settlement date
L,N		5:00 P.M. on settlement date (or earlier to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation)

If a sale is to be settled more than one Business Day after the sale date, Settlement Procedures “A” “B” “C” “D” and “E” shall be completed as soon as practicable but no later than the times specified above on the first Business Day after the sale date. If the initial interest rate for a Floating Rate Book-Entry Note has not been determined at the time that Settlement Procedure “A” is completed, Settlement Procedures “B” “C”, “D” and “E” shall be completed as soon as such rate has been determined but no later than the times specified above on the second Business Day before the settlement date. Settlement Procedure “K” is subject to extension in accordance with any extension of Fedwire closing deadlines and in the other events specified in the SDFS operating procedures in effect on the settlement date.

If settlement of a Book-Entry Note is rescheduled or cancelled, the Trustee will deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, a cancellation message to such effect by no later than 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled settlement date.

Failure to Settle

If the Trustee has not entered an SDFS delivery order with respect to a Book-Entry Note pursuant to Settlement Procedure “I”, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Company thereof. Thereafter, upon written request of the Company (which may be evidenced by facsimile transmission), the Trustee shall deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such Note to the Trustee’s participant account. DTC will process the withdrawal message, provided that the Trustee’s participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Security representing such Note that is at least equal to the principal amount to be debited. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to all the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will ▇▇▇▇ such Global Security “cancelled”, make appropriate entries in the Trustee’s records and send such cancelled Global Security to the Company. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Security shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will exchange such Global Security for two Global Securities, one of which shall represent such Book-Entry Note or Notes and shall be cancelled immediately after issuance and the other of which shall represent the

B-15

other Book-Entry Notes previously represented by the surrendered Global Security and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Security.

If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to any Participant with respect to such Note by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a Person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such Participant may enter a deliver order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System debiting such Note to such Participant’s participant account and crediting such Note free to the participant account of the Trustee and shall notify the Trustee and the Company thereof. Thereafter, the Trustee, (i) will immediately notify the Company thereof, once the Trustee has confirmed that such Note has been credited to its participant account, and the Company shall immediately transfer by Fedwire (immediately available funds) to such Participant an amount equal to the price of such Note which was previously credited to the account of the Company maintained at the Trustee in accordance with Settlement Procedure “L” and (ii) the Trustee will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry Note, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect. In the event of a failure to settle with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes to have been represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures “F” and “G”, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Security representing the other Book-Entry Notes to have been represented by such Global Security and will make appropriate entries in its records.

APPENDIX A

Special Provisions Relating to Floating Rate Notes

Interest Rate

Interest on Floating Rate Notes will be determined by reference to an “Interest Rate Basis”, which shall be the “CD Rate” (“CD Rate Notes”), the “Commercial Paper Rate” (“Commercial Paper Rate Notes”), the “Federal Funds (Effective) Rate” (“Federal Funds (Effective) Rate Notes”), the “Federal Funds (Open) Rate” (“Federal Funds Open Rate”), “LIBOR” (“LIBOR Notes”), “EURIBOR” (“EURIBOR Notes”) the “Treasury Rate” (“Treasury Rate Notes”), the “Prime Rate” (“Prime Rate Notes”), the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate (“Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate”), the CMS Rate (“CMS Rate”) or such other interest rate formula as may be designated in a Pricing Supplement, based upon the Index Maturity and adjusted by a Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement setting forth the terms of each issuance of Notes (the “Pricing Supplement”). The “Index Maturity” is the particular maturity of the type of instrument or obligation from which the Interest Rate Basis is calculated (e.g., in the case of commercial paper, 30-day rather than 90-day commercial paper). The “Spread” is the number of basis points (100 basis points equals one percent) above or below the Interest Rate Basis applicable to such Floating Rate Note, and the “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage of the Interest Rate Basis applicable to the interest rate for such Floating Rate Note. The Spread, Spread Multiplier, Index Maturity and other variable terms as described below are subject to change by the Company from time to time, but no such change will affect any Floating Rate Note theretofore issued or as to which an offer has been accepted by the Company.

A Floating Rate Note may also have either or both of the following: (i) a maximum limit, or ceiling (“Maximum Interest Rate”), on the rate of interest which may apply during any Interest Period (as defined below) and (ii) a minimum limit, or floor (“Minimum Interest Rate”), on the rate of interest which may apply during any Interest Period. In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate which may be applicable to any Floating Rate Note pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

The applicable Pricing Supplement will specify for each Floating Rate Note the following terms: Interest Rate Basis, optional redemption dates (if any), rate of interest for the initial Interest Period (the “Initial Interest Rate”), Issue Date, Interest Determination Dates (as defined below), Interest Reset Dates (as defined below), Interest Payment Dates (as defined below), Index Maturity, Maturity Date, Maximum Interest Rate and Minimum Interest Rate, if any, and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any.

(B) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 9.09% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be so purchased hereunder on the Settlement Date, this agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser.

No action taken pursuant to this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Purchaser from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of

▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has previously entered into a Distribution Agreement dated May [ ], 2006 (the “Distribution Agreement”), between the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc. (the “Existing Agent”), with respect to the issue and sale by the Company of its Medium Term Notes, Series I pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 1, 1987, as amended between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee. The Distribution Agreement permits the Company to appoint one or more additional persons to act as agent with respect to the Securities, on terms substantially the same as those contained in the Distribution Agreement. A copy of the Distribution Agreement, including the Procedures with respect to the issuance of the Securities attached thereto as Exhibit B, is attached hereto.

In accordance with Section 11(b) of the Distribution Agreement we hereby confirm that, with effect from the date hereof, solely in respect of the issue of Notes due (the “Issue”), you shall become a party to, and an Agent under, the Distribution Agreement, vested with all the authority, rights and powers, and subject to all duties and obligations of an Agent in relation to the Issue as if originally named as such under the Distribution Agreement. The undersigned agrees that it is acting as agent (not as principal) in connection with the Issue.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms used herein which are defined in the Distribution Agreement shall have the same meanings as in the Distribution Agreement, except that (i) the terms “Agent,” “Agents” and “Additional Agents” as used in the Distribution Agreement, shall be deemed to refer, where applicable and for purposes of this Agreement, only to you, (ii) your obligation to act as Agent hereunder shall subject to you having received copies of the most recent documents (including any prior documents referred to therein) previously delivered to the Existing Agent pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 of the Distribution Agreement, and (iii) any reference to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to such documents as amended or supplemented as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Settlement Date, including any supplement relating to the Securities and/or containing the name of the Agent and/or Additional Agents.
