Solicitations as Agent Purchases as Principal In soliciting purchases of Notes on behalf of the Company and in performing its other obligations hereunder (other than with respect to any purchase by an Agent as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement), each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Company and not as principal. Each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase the Notes has been solicited by such Agent and accepted by the Company; provided, however, that such Agent shall not have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall pay to such Agent the commission it would have received had such sale been consummated and the Company shall hold such Agent harmless against any other loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company. Each purchase of Notes solicited by an Agent as agent shall be confirmed by such Agent and the Company in writing by facsimile transmission or otherwise at or about, or prior to, the Applicable Time. The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Notes from the Company as principal, but any Agent may agree, from time to time, to purchase Notes as principal. Any such purchase of Notes by an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with Section 3(b) of this Agreement.
Purchases as Principal Each sale of Notes to the Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Agent and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement that will provide for the sale of such Notes to and the purchase thereof by the Agent. Each "Terms Agreement" may take the form of an exchange of any form of written telecommunication or oral communication followed by written confirmation or telecommunication between the Agent and the Company and shall be with respect to such information (as applicable) as is specified in Exhibit A hereto. The Agent's commitment to purchase Notes as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each agreement by the Agent to purchase Notes as principal (whether or not set forth in a Terms Agreement) shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by the Agent pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such agreement shall also specify any requirements for officers' certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent public accountants of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by the Agent. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes. Each date of delivery of and payment for Notes to be purchased by the Agent as principal or as agent or by any other purchaser is referred to herein as a "Settlement Date." Upon the Company's request, the Agent will notify the Company either orally or in writing (as specified by the Company) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by the Agent as principal purchased pursuant to a Terms Agreement pursuant to this Agreement.

Subsequent Purchaser Notification Each Initial Purchaser will take reasonable steps to inform, and cause each of its U.S. Affiliates to take reasonable steps to inform, persons acquiring Securities from such Initial Purchaser or affiliate, as the case may be, in the United States that the Securities (A) have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act, (B) are being sold to them without registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Rule 144A or in accordance with another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, as the case may be, and (C) may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except (1) to the Company, (2) outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S, or (3) inside the United States in accordance with (x) Rule 144A to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer that is purchasing such Securities for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (y) pursuant to another available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer” means any person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity to which the Company or any of its affiliates sold or provided goods or services during the 24-month period prior to the time at which any determination is required to be made as to whether any such person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity is a Customer, or who or which was approached by or who or which has approached an employee of the Company for the purpose of soliciting business from the Company or the third party, as the case may be. Provided, however, the goods or services must be competitive in some respect to the Company’s business during such time.
