GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

3. | Indexing: The Interest Rates, Payment Factors and corresponding Loan Payments are based on the Federal Reserves imputed 48- and 60-month Treasury Constant Maturities Rates (H.15/ Treasury Rates) of 5.05% and 5.07%, respectively, for 6/11/07 and will be adjusted effective as of the date of funding of any Financing to reflect any increase or decrease in the applicable Treasury Rate. |
Transaction Costs: By execution and return of this proposal letter, regardless of whether the Financing is approved or closes, the Company will be responsible for (i) all of its closing costs, (ii) all out of pocket fees and expenses incurred by GE Capital in connection with this Proposal Letter and the Financing (and the negotiation, documentation and closing thereof) under consideration including, without limitation, actual out-of-pocket expenses associated with engagement of outside counsel, UCC searches and filings costs, inspection and appraisal fees and similar costs, and (iii) the Company waives any right to a jury trial in any action or proceeding brought against GE Capital. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless GE Capital and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (each an Indemnified Person) against all claims, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (each a Claim) that may be incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with this Term Sheet and proposal or the matters contemplated herein, except to the extent arising from the negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct or failure to comply with applicable law by any Indemnified Person. The foregoing indemnification obligation is subject to the following: GE Capital will promptly notify the Company in writing of any Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Person intends to claim such indemnification. GE Capital will permit, and will cause each Indemnified Person seeking indemnification hereunder to permit, the Company at its discretion to settle any such Claim, and GE Capital agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Indemnified Person, to the complete control of such defense or settlement by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not enter into any settlement that would adversely affect such Indemnified Persons rights hereunder or impose any obligations on such Indemnified Person in addition to those set forth herein in order for it to exercise such rights without such Indemnified Persons prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No such action, claim or other matter will be settled without the prior written consent of the Company, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such Indemnified Person will cooperate fully with the Company and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or other matter covered by the indemnification obligations of this Section. The Indemnified Person will have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented in such defense by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.

In addition, none of such persons shall, except as required by law, use the name of, or refer to GE Capital in any correspondence, discussions, advertisement, press release or disclosure made in connection with the Financing without the prior written consent of GE Capital. |
7. | Expiration: This proposal will expire 8/31/07 if not accepted prior to that date. |
8. | Other Conditions: GE Capitals agreement to fund the proposed transaction remains subject to and would be preceded by completion of a legal and business due diligence, as well as collateral and credit review and analysis, all with results satisfactory to GE Capital and the closing of an initial funding under such transaction would be conditioned upon the prior execution and delivery of final Loan Documents and satisfaction of all conditions precedent acceptable to GE Capital and its counsel and no Material Adverse Change (to be defined in the definitive loan documentation) shall have occurred. For transactions that contemplate more than one funding, GE Capitals obligation to make each such subsequent funding would be subject to confirmation that no default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, that all representations and warranties of the Company in the Loan Documents continue to be true and correct and that no Material Adverse Change has occurred since the prior funding. GE Capital hereby agrees that solely for purposes of the event of default in Section 7 (a) (xiii) of the MSA (and not for purposes of closing or subsequent fundings), the term Material Adverse Change shall have the meaning set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the MSA, dated as of January 1, 2005. |
