(the "Company") hereby agrees with you as follows: 1. AUTHORIZATION OF ISSUE OF NOTES. The Company has authorized the issue of its senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each Note so issued, no more than twelve years from the date of original issuance, to have an average life, in the case of each Note so issued, of no more than ten years, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Note delivered pursuant to paragraph 2B(5), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The terms "NOTE" --------- and "NOTES" as used herein shall include each Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note's ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a "SERIES" of Notes. 2A. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 2B. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES. 2B(1). FACILITY. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential and Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of Notes is herein called the "FACILITY". At any time, the aggregate principal amount of Notes stated in paragraph 1, minus the aggregate principal amount of ----- Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, and minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) ----- which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, is herein called the "AVAILABLE FACILITY AMOUNT" at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE. 2B(2). ISSUANCE PERIOD. Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if such anniversary is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential, a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period during which Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the "ISSUANCE PERIOD". 2B(3). REQUEST FOR PURCHASE. The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Notes (each such request being herein called a "REQUEST FOR PURCHASE"). Each Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telefacsimile or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 and not be greater than the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities, principal prepayment dates and amounts and interest payment periods (monthly, quarterly or semiannual in arrears) of the Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Notes, (iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 5 Business Days and not more than 30 Business Days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase price of such Notes is to be transferred on the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in paragraph 8 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, (vii) specify the Designated Spread for such Notes and (viii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing and shall be deemed made when received by Prudential. 2B(4). RATE QUOTES. Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to paragraph 2B(3), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone between 9:30 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Notes specified in such Request for Purchase. Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Notes at which Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof. 2B(5). ACCEPTANCE. Within five minutes after Prudential shall have provided any interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4), or such shorter period as Prudential may specify to the Company (such period herein called the "ACCEPTANCE WINDOW"), the Company may, subject to paragraph 2B(6), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone or telefacsimile within the Acceptance Window that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Notes (each such Note being herein called an "ACCEPTED NOTE") as to which such acceptance (herein called an "ACCEPTANCE") relates. The day the Company notifies an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the "ACCEPTANCE DAY" for such Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to paragraph 2B(6) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, Prudential and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (herein called a "CONFIRMATION OF ACCEPTANCE"). If the Company should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to its receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing. 2B(6). MARKET DISRUPTION. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2B(5), if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to paragraph 2B(4) and thereafter prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have been notified to Prudential in accordance with paragraph 2B(5) the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this paragraph 2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance. 2B(7). FACILITY CLOSINGS. Not later than 1:30 P.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Prudential Capital Group the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser's name (or in the name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the account specified by the Company in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in this paragraph 2B(7), or any of the conditions specified in paragraph 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company shall, prior to 2:30 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the "RESCHEDULED CLOSING DAY") and certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with paragraph 2B(8)(iii) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election, at any time after 2:30 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing. 2B(8). FEES. 2B(8)(i). STRUCTURING FEE. In consideration for the time, effort and expense involved in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Prudential, the Company shall pay to Prudential in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the "Structuring Fee") in the amount of $50,000. 2B(8)(ii). ISSUANCE FEE. The Company agrees to pay to each Purchaser in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the "ISSUANCE FEE") on each Closing Day in an amount equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold to such Purchaser on such Closing Day; provided that (a) no Issuance Fee shall be due on any Closing Day occurring in 2001 and (b) if at least $20,000,000 in principal amount of Notes have been issued on or before September 30, 2001, no Issuance Fee will be due on any Closing Day occurring prior to March 31, 2002. 2B(8)(iii). DELAYED DELIVERY FEE. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company agrees to pay to Prudential (a) on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale and (b) if earlier, the next Business Day following 90 days after the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note and on each Business Day following 90 days after the prior payment hereunder, a fee (herein called the "DELAYED DELIVERY FEE") calculated as follows: (BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA where "BEY" means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such Accepted Note, "MMY" means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential on the date Prudential receives notice of the delay in the closing for such Accepted Note having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is delayed); "DTS" means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent delayed delivery fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and "PA" means Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with paragraph 2B(7). 2B(8)(iv). CANCELLATION FEE. If the Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of paragraph 2B(5) or the penultimate sentence of paragraph 2B(7) that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being herein called the "CANCELLATION DATE"), the Company agrees to pay to Prudential in immediately available funds an amount (the "CANCELLATION FEE") calculated as follows: PI X PA where "PI" means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and "PA" has the meaning ascribed to it in paragraph 2B(8)(iii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall be as reported by Bridge\Telerate (or, if such data for any reason ceases to be available through Bridge\Telerate, any publicly available source of similar market data). Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par value of $100.00 and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero. 3. CONDITIONS OF CLOSING. On or before the date on which this Agreement is executed and delivered the Company shall (a) pay to Prudential the Structuring Fee referenced in paragraph 2B(8)(i) and (b) deliver to Prudential an amendment to the Note Agreement dated as of July 17, 1992, and the Guaranty dated as of March 19, 1999, in each case in form and content satisfactory to Prudential. The obligation of any Purchaser to purchase and pay for any Notes is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Day for such Notes, of the following conditions: 3A. CERTAIN DOCUMENTS.

(vi) A good standing certificate for the Company from the secretaries of state of Hawaii and California, in each case dated as of a recent date and such other evidence of the status of each Company as such Purchaser may reasonably request.

PURCHASE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS. The purchase of and payment for the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the terms and conditions herein provided (including the use of the proceeds of such Notes by each Company) shall not violate any applicable law or governmental regulation (including, without limitation, Section 5 of the Securities Act or Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and shall not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty, liability or other onerous condition under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation, and such Purchaser shall have received such certificates or other evidence as it may request to establish compliance with this condition. This paragraph 3D is a closing condition and shall not be construed as a tax indemnity. 3D. PAYMENT OF FEES. The Company shall have paid to Prudential or any other Purchaser any fees due it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including the Structuring Fee due pursuant to paragraph 2B(8)(i), any Issuance Fee due pursuant to paragraph 2B(8)(ii) and any Delayed Delivery Fee due pursuant to paragraph 2B(8)(iii). 4. PREPAYMENTS. The Notes shall be subject to required prepayment as and to the extent provided in paragraph 4A. The Notes shall also be subject to prepayment under the circumstances set forth in paragraph 4B. Any prepayment made by the Company pursuant to any other provision of this paragraph 4 shall not reduce or otherwise affect its obligation to make any required prepayment as specified in paragraph 4A. 4A. REQUIRED PREPAYMENTS OF NOTES. Each Series of Notes shall be subject to the required prepayments, if any, set forth in the Notes of such Series. 4B. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT WITH YIELD-MAINTENANCE AMOUNT. The Notes of each Series shall be subject to prepayment, in whole at any time or from time to time in part (in integral multiples of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000), at the option of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus interest thereon to the prepayment date and the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to each such Note. Any partial prepayment of a Series of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4B shall be applied in satisfaction of required payments of principal in inverse order of their scheduled due dates. 4C. NOTICE OF OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT. The Company shall give the holder of each Note of a Series to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than five Business Days prior to the prepayment date, specifying such prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series held by such holder to be prepaid on that date and that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4B. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, herein provided, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4B, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each Significant Holder which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the purchaser schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance or by notice in writing to the Company. 4D. APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS. In the case of each prepayment of less than the entire unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes of any Series pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B, the amount to be prepaid shall be applied pro rata to all outstanding Notes of such Series (including, for the purpose of this paragraph 4D only, all Notes prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B) according to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof. 4E. RETIREMENT OF NOTES. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire in whole or in part prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraphs 4A or 4B, or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, Notes of any Series held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Series held by each other holder of Notes of such Series at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 4D. 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. During the Issuance Period and so long thereafter as any Note is outstanding and unpaid, the Company covenants as follows: 5A. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company covenants that it will deliver to each holder of the Notes in duplicate: (i) as soon as practicable and in any event within 60 days after the end of each quarterly period (other than the last quarterly period) in each fiscal year, consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period from the beginning of the current fiscal year to the end of such quarterly period, and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such quarterly period, setting forth in each case in comparative form figures for the corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and certified by an authorized financial officer of the Company, subject only to changes resulting from year-end adjustments; (ii) as soon as practicable and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such year and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form corresponding figures from the preceding annual audit, all in reasonable detail and reasonably satisfactory in scope to the Required Holder(s) and certified by independent public accountants of recognized national standing whose opinion shall be unqualified and otherwise satisfactory in scope and substance to the Required Holder(s); (iii) promptly upon transmission thereof, copies of all such financial, proxy and information statements, notices and other reports as are sent to the Company's public stockholders and copies of all registration statements (without exhibits) and all reports which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange Commission); (iv) promptly upon receipt thereof, a copy of each other report submitted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by independent accountants in connection with any material annual, interim or special audit made by them of the books of such Company or such Subsidiary; and (v) with reasonable promptness, such other financial data as any holder of Notes may reasonably request. Together with each delivery of financial statements required by clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Company will deliver to each holder of Notes an Officers' Certificate (a) demonstrating (with computations in reasonable detail) compliance with the covenants in paragraphs [6A(1), 6A(3), 6B, 6C(2), 6C(4)] and (b) stating that there exists no Default or Event of Default, or if any such Default or Event of Default exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also covenants that forthwith upon the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer or controller obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default or Default, it will deliver to each holder of Notes an Officers' Certificate specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 5B. INSPECTION OF PROPERTY. The Company covenants that it will permit any Person designated by any Significant Holder in writing, at such Significant Holder's expense, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to examine their books and financial records and to make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and to discuss their affairs, finances and accounts with the principal officers and the Company's independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as such Significant Holder may reasonably request; provided that a principal financial officer of the Company shall have prior notice of, and may elect to be present during, discussions with the Company's independent public accountants. 5C. COVENANT TO SECURE NOTE EQUALLY. The Company covenants that, if it or any of its Subsidiaries shall create, assume or otherwise incur any Lien upon any of its property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Liens permitted by the provisions of paragraph 6C(1) (unless prior written consent to the creation or assumption thereof shall have been obtained pursuant to paragraph 11C), it will make or cause to be made effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any obligation thereby secured so long as any such other obligation shall be so secured. 5D. INFORMATION REQUIRED BY RULE 144A. The Company covenants that it will, upon the request of the holder of any Note, provide such holder, and any qualified institutional buyer designated by such holder, such financial and other information as such holder may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to permit compliance with the information requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of Notes, except at such times as the Company is subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. For the purpose of this paragraph 5D, the term "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" shall have the meaning specified in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 5E. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES; INSURANCE. The Company covenants that it and each Subsidiary will (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all properties used or useful at that time in its business and from time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof and (ii) maintain insurance with reputable and financially sound insurers in such amounts and against such liabilities and hazards as is customarily maintained by other companies operating similar businesses. 6.

All capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have, unless otherwise defined herein, the respective meanings specified in the Agreement. This letter is being delivered to you in satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (v) of paragraph 3A of the Agreement and with the understanding that you are purchasing the Notes in reliance on the opinions expressed herein. In this connection, I have examined such certificates of public officials, certificates of officers of the Company and copies certified to my satisfaction of documents and records of the Company, and have made such other investigations, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for my opinion hereinafter set forth. I have relied upon such certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters contained therein which I have not independently established. With respect to the opinion expressed in paragraph 6 below, I have also relied upon the representation made by [each of] you in paragraph 9A of the Agreement. Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that: 1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii, with the corporate power, authority and legal right to conduct its business as presently conducted. 2. The Company has the full corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Agreement and the Notes and to perform and observe its obligations thereunder. 3.

The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the Notes by the Company do not, and the performance and observance of the terms thereof will not, breach, conflict with or contravene any provisions in the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any provision of any material law or regulation applicable to the Company or its properties or other assets. 5.

The issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes to you is an exempt transaction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and does not require the registration of the Notes under such Act, nor is qualification of an indenture in respect thereof required under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. 7.
