Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Series E

Series E Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate, dated the
date of the Closing certifying that such condition has been
fulfilled.
(b)
Contemporaneously with the Closing, (i) the Company
shall sell to each Series E Purchaser, and each Series E Purchaser
shall purchase, the Series E Notes to be purchased by such
Series E Purchaser at the Closing as specified in Schedule A
and (ii) the Company shall sell to each purchaser and each
purchaser shall purchase the Series F Notes to be purchased by

5.
Maturity

6. Optional
Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount . The Company may, at its
option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or
from time to time any part of, the Series E Notes, in an
amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Series E Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial
prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus the
Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect
to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of
Series E Notes written notice of each optional prepayment
under this Section 6 of this Fourth Supplement not less than
30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such
prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date, the aggregate
principal amount of the Series E Notes to be prepaid on such
date, the principal amount of each Series E Note held by such
holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 7
of this Fourth Supplement), and the interest to be paid on the
prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being
prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior
Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in
connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such
notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details
of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment,
the Company shall deliver to each holder of Series E Notes a
certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the
calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified
prepayment date.
7. Allocation
of Partial Prepayments for Series E Notes . In the case
of each partial prepayment of the Series E Notes pursuant to
Section 6 of this Fourth Supplement, the principal amount of the
Series E Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of
the Series E Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts
thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.
8.
Maturity; Surrender, etc. for Series E Notes . In the
case of each prepayment of Series E Notes pursuant to Section
6 of this Fourth Supplement and Section 8.3 of the Note
Purchase Agreements, the principal amount of each Series E
Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the
date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such
principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole
Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall
fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together
with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid,
interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any
Series E Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to
the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no
Series E Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal
amount of any Series E Note.
