    November&#160;30, 2006 and 2005, was $0.7&#160;million and
    $0.6&#160;million, respectively. The estimated annual
    amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to
    amortization for the next five years will approximate
    $2.4&#160;million annually for the first three years,
    $2.2&#160;million for the fourth year and $1.8&#160;million for
    the following year.

    In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
    issued Interpretation No.&#160;48, &#147;Accounting for
    Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement
    No.&#160;109&#148; (FIN&#160;48). FIN&#160;48 clarifies the
    accounting for income taxes recognized in an enterprise&#146;s
    financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and
    measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
    and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
    in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on
    derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
    accounting in interim periods and disclosure. FIN&#160;48 is
    effective for fiscal years beginning after December&#160;15,
    2006, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating
    the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated
    financial statements.

    In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards (SFAS)&#160;No.&#160;158,

    Other Postretirement Plans&#148; (SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158).
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 requires that employers recognize on a
    prospective basis the funded status of their defined benefit
    pension and other postretirement plans on their consolidated
    balance sheet and recognize as a component of other

    Based on the funded status of our defined benefit pension and

    dates, we would be required to increase our net liabilities for
    pension and postretirement medical benefits upon adoption of
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158, which would result in a decrease to
    owners equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ultimate
    amounts recorded are highly dependent on a number of
    assumptions, including the discount rates in effect in 2007, the
    actual rate of return on pension assets for 2007 and the tax
    effects of the adjustment. Changes in these assumptions since
    our last measurement date could increase or decrease the
    expected impact of implementing SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 in our
    consolidated financial statements at August&#160;31, 2007.

    We aligned our business segments based on an assessment of how
    our businesses operate and the products and services they sell.
    Our three business segments: Energy, Ag Business and Processing,
    create vertical integration to link producers with consumers.
    Corporate and Other primarily represents our business solutions
    operations, which consists of commodities hedging, insurance and
    financial services related to crop production. Our Energy
    segment produces and provides for the wholesale distribution of
    petroleum products and transports many of those products. Our Ag
    Business segment purchases and resells grains and oilseeds
    originated by our country operations business, by our member
    cooperatives and by third parties, and also serves as wholesaler
    and retailer of crop inputs. Our Processing segment converts
    grains and oilseeds into value-added products.

    fluctuations. For example in our Ag Business segment, agronomy
    and country operations businesses experience higher volumes and
    income during the spring planting season and in the fall, which
    corresponds to harvest. Also in our Ag Business segment, our
    grain marketing operations are subject to fluctuations in volume

    and profitability in certain operating areas, such as refined
    products, in the summer and early fall when gasoline and diesel
    fuel usage is highest and is subject to global supply and demand
    forces. Other energy products, such as propane, may experience

    accounting, wherein we record our proportionate share of income
    or loss reported by the entity as equity income from
    investments, without consolidating the revenues and expenses of
    the entity in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These

    In the past, we made seasonal and term loans to member
    cooperatives, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fin-Ag, Inc.,
    made loans for agricultural purposes to individual producers.
    Some of these loans were sold to CoBank, ACB (CoBank), and we
    guaranteed a portion of the loans sold, some of which are still
    outstanding. Currently these loans are made by Cofina Financial,
    LLC (Cofina), in which we have a 49% ownership interest. We may,
    at our own discretion, choose to guarantee certain loans made by
    Cofina. In addition, we also guarantee certain debt and
    obligations under contracts for our subsidiaries and members.

    the classification of our cash flows received from our interest
    in joint ventures and distributions made to minority owners. We
    determined that a portion of the cash flows from our joint
    ventures should have been considered a return on our investment
    and classified as an operating activity as distributions from
    equity investments, instead of as an investing activity.
    Additionally, we previously reported distributions to minority
    owners as investing activities when they should have been
    classified as financing activities.

    revenues and earnings are affected by market prices for
    commodities such as crude oil, natural gas, grain, oilseeds,
    flour, and crude and refined vegetable oil. Commodity prices
    generally are affected by a wide range of factors beyond our
    control, including weather, disease, insect damage, drought, the
    availability and adequacy of supply, government regulation and
    policies, and general political and economic conditions. We are
    also exposed to fluctuating commodity prices as the result of
    our inventories of commodities, typically grain and petroleum
    products, and purchase and sale contracts at fixed or partially
    fixed prices. At any time, our inventory levels and unfulfilled
    fixed or partially fixed price contract obligations may be
    substantial. Increases in market prices for commodities that we
    purchase without a corresponding increase in the prices of our
    products or our sales volume or a decrease in our other
    operating expenses could reduce our revenues and net income.

    In our energy operations, profitability depends largely on the

    selling prices that we obtain for our refined products. Prices
    for both crude oil and for gasoline, diesel fuel and other
    refined petroleum products fluctuate widely. Factors influencing
    these prices, many of which are beyond our control, include:

    highest during the third fiscal quarter. Our business segments
    are subject to varying seasonal fluctuations. For example, in

    businesses generally experience higher volumes and income during
    the spring planting season and in the fall, which corresponds to

    Our Energy segment generated income from continuing operations
    before income taxes of $111.3&#160;million for the three months
    ended November&#160;30, 2006 compared to $146.0&#160;million in
    the three months ended November&#160;30, 2005. This decrease in
    earnings of $34.7&#160;million (24%) is primarily attributable
    to lower margins on refined fuels, which resulted mainly from
    changes in the refining capacity and global demand. With
    hurricane damage to gulf-coast refineries at the start of fiscal
    year 2006, the energy industry faced supply restrictions and
    distribution disruptions. This situation created wide margins
    for inland refineries not affected by the hurricanes during the
    fall of 2005. Earnings in our propane, renewable fuels
    marketing, transportation, and lubricants operations improved
    during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006 when
    compared to the same three-month period of the previous year.
    These improvements were partially offset by decreased earnings
    in our petroleum equipment businesses.

    Our Ag Business segment generated income from continuing

    three months ended November&#160;30, 2006 compared to
    $16.7&#160;million in the three months ended November&#160;30,
    2005, an increase in earnings of $11.4&#160;million (68%).
    Strong domestic grain movement, much of it driven by increased
    US ethanol production, contributed to improved performance by
    both grain marketing and country operations businesses. Our
    country operations earnings increased $9.1&#160;million,
    primarily as a result of overall improved product margins,
    including historically high margins on energy, sunflower,
    agronomy and grain transactions. Market expansion into Oklahoma
    and Kansas also increased country operations volumes. Our grain
    marketing operations improved earnings by $4.3&#160;million
    during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006 compared
    with the same period in 2005, primarily from increased grain
    volumes and improved margins on those grains. Volatility in the
    grain markets creates opportunities for increased grain margins,
    and additionally during the current year, increased interest in
    renewable fuels, and changes in transportation costs shifted
    marketing patterns and dynamics for our grain marketing
    business. Additionally, during the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006, we sold approximately 25% of our
    investment in CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF), a domestic
    fertilizer manufacturer in which we hold a minority interest,
    and we received cash of $10.9&#160;million and recorded a gain
    of $5.3&#160;million. These improvements in earnings in our
    country operations, grain marketing, partial sale of CF, and
    some of our agronomy businesses, were partially offset by
    reduced earnings generated by Agriliance, an agronomy joint
    venture in which we hold a 50% interest. Those results, net of

    $7.3&#160;million, primarily because of reduced wholesale crop
    nutrient margins, partially offset by improved retail and
    wholesale crop protection margins. Weather-interrupted supply
    patterns and resulting price fluctuations dramatically reduced
    crop nutrient use and sales during the year. High natural gas
    prices, increasing international demand for nitrogen, and
    hurricane damage to warehouse facilities and the resulting
    transportation grid, led to price increases early in fiscal
    2006. Coupled with high energy costs and lower grain prices in
    early plant planning of 2006 many crop producers elected to
    scale back nutrient applications for the 2006 growing year. As a
    result, larger remaining inventories later in the year drove
    significant decline in realizable value of inventories and

    $0.17&#160;per gallon (8%) and volumes increased 2% when

    quarter of this fiscal year compared to the same three-month

    effects of the hurricanes in the United States during the fall
    of 2005. Primarily as a result of the hurricanes, we saw the
    affects of strong global demand and limited refining capacity,
    which contributed to the increases in refined fuels selling
    prices during fiscal 2006. Propane revenues decreased by
    $57.0&#160;million (27%), of which $56.6&#160;million was
    related to decreased volumes and $0.4&#160;million was related

    months ended November&#160;30, 2005. Interest expense for the
    three months ended November&#160;30, 2006 and 2005 was
    $11.3&#160;million and $11.7&#160;million, respectively.
    Interest income, generated primarily from marketable securities,
    was $3.6&#160;million and $4.3&#160;million, for the three
    months ended November&#160;30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The
    interest expense decrease of $0.4&#160;million (3%) includes an
    increase in capitalized interest of $0.2&#160;million, partially
    offset by an increase in short-term borrowings primarily created
    by higher working capital needs and an increase in the average
    short-term interest rate. For the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006 and 2005, we capitalized interest of
    $1.8&#160;million and $1.6&#160;million, respectively, related
    to capitalized construction projects. The increase in
    capitalized interest relates to the financing interest on our
    coker project partially offset by the final stages of the
    ultra-low sulfur upgrades at our energy refineries during fiscal
    2006. The average level of short-term borrowings increased
    $24.3&#160;million during the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006 compared to the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2005, and the average short-term interest rate
    increased 1.42%. The interest income decrease of
    $0.7&#160;million (17%) was primarily in our Energy segment
    related to a decrease in interest income from short term
    investments, primarily at NCRA.

    Our Ag Business segment generated reduced earnings of
    $8.3&#160;million from equity investments. Our investment in a
    Canadian agronomy joint venture contributed improved earnings of
    $0.3&#160;million. Our share of equity investment earnings in
    Agriliance decreased $7.8&#160;million and primarily relates to
    reduced crop nutrient margins. Weather-interrupted supply
    patterns and resulting wide price fluctuations dramatically
    reduced crop nutrient use and sales during fiscal 2006. High
    natural gas prices, increasing international demand for
    nitrogen, and hurricane damage to warehouse facilities and the
    related transportation grid led to price increases during fiscal
    2006. Coupled with high energy costs and low grain prices, many
    crop producers elected to scale back nutrient applications for
    the 2006 growing year. As a result, larger remaining inventories
    later in the year drove significant declines in realizable value
    of inventories and reduced revenues. The Agriliance retail
    operations and crop protection margins showed slight
    improvements over the three months ended November&#160;30, 2005.
    Our wheat exporting investment in United Harvest contributed
    slightly reduced earnings of $0.2&#160;million, and our equity

    Milling, our domestic and Canadian wheat milling joint ventures,
    recorded slightly reduced earnings of $0.1&#160;million compared

    2006 and 2007, we invested $105.0&#160;million in US BioEnergy,
    an ethanol manufacturing company, and recorded earnings of
    $0.6&#160;million during the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006. A shifting demand balance for soybeans
    for both food and renewable fuels meant addressing supply and
    price challenges for both CHS and our joint venture with Ventura
    Foods. Horizon Milling&#146;s results are primarily affected by
    US dietary habits. Although the preference for a low
    carbohydrate diet appears to have reached the bottom of its
    cycle, milling capacity, which had been idled over the past few
    years because of lack of demand for flour products, can easily
    be put back in production as consumption of flour products
    increases, which will continue to depress gross margins in the

    months ended November&#160;30, 2006 compared to the same period

    due to increases in grain prices on November&#160;30, 2006 when

    inventories on November&#160;30, 2006 to August&#160;31, 2006,

    increase in net operating assets and liabilities was that our
    country operations locations had prepayments of product
    inventory to suppliers in anticipation of the spring planting
    season, primarily to secure product pricing discounts. Product

    Our operating activities provided net cash of
    $163.7&#160;million during the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2005. Net income of $154.2&#160;million and
    net non-cash expenses and cash distributions from equity
    investments of $92.3&#160;million, were partially offset by an
    increase in net operating assets and liabilities of
    $82.8&#160;million. The primary components of net non-cash
    expenses and cash distributions from equity investments included
    depreciation and amortization of $28.0&#160;million, minority
    interests of $32.2&#160;million and deferred tax expense of
    $37.5&#160;million, which were partially offset by income from
    equity investments net of distributions of $5.6&#160;million.
    The increase in net operating assets and liabilities was
    comprised of several components. One of the primary components
    was an increase in grain inventories. While there were only
    slight changes (5% to 6%) in the market prices of our three
    primary grain commodities (spring wheat, soybeans and corn) on
    November&#160;30, 2005 compared to August&#160;31, 2005, our
    grain inventory quantities increased 26.6&#160;million bushels
    (29%) due to harvest. Another primary factor affecting operating
    assets and liabilities was a decrease in crude oil prices on
    November&#160;30, 2005 compared to August&#160;31, 2005, which
    had offsetting impacts of decreasing receivables, derivative
    liabilities and accounts payable in our Energy segment. In
    general, crude oil prices decreased $11.62&#160;per barrel (17%)
    on November&#160;30, 2005 compared to August&#160;31, 2005.

    Crude oil prices are expected to be volatile in the foreseeable
    future, but our related inventories and receivables are turned
    in a relatively short period, thus somewhat mitigating the
    effect on our operating assets and liabilities. Grain prices are
    influenced significantly by global projections of grain stocks
    available until the next harvest. We anticipate that demand for
    corn in ethanol production will continue to create relatively
    high prices and price volatility for that commodity in fiscal
    2007. With higher corn prices, we also anticipate an increase in
    corn acres planted in 2007, with some of those acres displacing
    acres previously planted for soybeans and wheat. That trend may
    also increase the prices for those commodities as supply is
    decreased.

    We expect our net operating assets and liabilities to increase
    through our second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the

    nutrient and crop protection product inventories and prepayments
    to suppliers of these products at our country operations
    locations during our second quarter of fiscal 2007. At the same
    time, we expect this increase in net operating assets and
    liabilities to be partially offset by the collection of
    prepayments from our own customers for these products.
    Prepayments are frequently used for agronomy products to assure

    the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. Included in
    our projected capital spending through fiscal year 2008 is the
    installation of a coker unit at our Laurel, Montana refinery,
    along with other refinery improvements, which will allow us to
    extract a greater volume of high value gasoline and diesel fuel
    from a barrel of crude oil and less relatively low value
    asphalt. The coker unit is anticipated to increase yields by
    approximately 14&#160;percent. The total cost for this project
    is expected to be approximately $325.0&#160;million, of which

    $47.1&#160;million were incurred during the three months ended

    In October 2003, we and NCRA reached agreements with the EPA and
    the State of Montana&#146;s Department of Environmental Quality
    and the State of Kansas Department of Health and Environment
    regarding the terms of settlements with respect to reducing air
    emissions at our Laurel, Montana and NCRA&#146;s McPherson,
    Kansas refineries. These settlements are part of a series of
    similar settlements that the EPA has negotiated with major
    refiners under the EPA&#146;s Petroleum Refinery Initiative. The
    settlements, which resulted from nearly three years of
    discussions, take the form of consent decrees filed with the
    U.S.&#160;District Court for the District of Montana (Billings
    Division) and the U.S.&#160;District Court for the District of
    Kansas. Each consent decree details potential capital
    improvements, supplemental environmental projects and
    operational changes that we and NCRA have agreed to implement at
    the relevant refinery over the next several years. The consent
    decrees also require us, and NCRA, to pay approximately
    $0.5&#160;million in aggregate civil cash penalties. As of
    November&#160;30, 2006, the aggregate capital expenditures for
    us and NCRA related to these settlements was approximately
    $15&#160;million, and we anticipate spending an additional
    $8&#160;million over the next five years. We do not believe that
    the settlements will have a material adverse effect on us, or
    NCRA.

    Investments made during the three months ended November&#160;30,
    2006 and 2005, totaled $77.4&#160;million and
    $37.0&#160;million, respectively. During the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006, investments include two new ventures. We
    invested $22.2&#160;million for an equity position in a
    Brazil-based grain handling and merchandising company,
    Multigrain S.A., which is owned jointly (50/50) with Multigrain
    Comercio, an agricultural commodities business headquartered in
    Sao Paulo, Brazil, and is included in our Ag Business segment.
    This venture which includes grain storage and export facilities,
    builds on our South American soybean origination, and helps meet
    customer needs year-round. Our grain marketing operations
    continue to explore other opportunities to establish a presence
    in other emerging grain origination and export markets. We have
    also invested $15.6&#160;million in a new Horizon Milling
    venture (24% CHS ownership) during the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006, that acquired the Canadian grain-based
    foodservice and industrial businesses of Smucker Foods of
    Canada, which includes three flour milling operations and two
    dry baking mixing facilities in Canada. During the three months
    ended November&#160;30, 2006, we made an additional investment
    of $35.0&#160;million in US BioEnergy, bringing our total cash
    investments for Class&#160;A Common Stock in the company to
    $105.0&#160;million. Prior investments in US BioEnergy included
    an investment of $35.0&#160;million during the three months
    ended November&#160;30, 2005 and another investment of
    $35.0&#160;million during the three months ended May&#160;31,
    2006. In August 2006, US BioEnergy filed a registration
    statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to
    register shares of common stock for sale in an initial public
    offering, and in December 2006, US BioEnergy went public,
    bringing our current ownership in the company to approximately
    22%. Based upon the per share price of $14.00 at the initial
    public offering in December 2006, our investment had a market
    value of approximately $201&#160;million. We are recognizing
    earnings of US&#160;BioEnergy to the extent of our ownership
    interest using the equity method of accounting.

    Effective September&#160;1, 2004, redemptions of capital equity
    certificates approved by the Board of Directors are divided into
    two pools, one for non-individuals (primarily member
    cooperatives) who participate in an annual pro-rata program for
    equities older than 10&#160;years held by them, and another for
    individuals who are eligible for equity redemptions at
    age&#160;72 or upon death. Effective September&#160;1, 2006, the

    fiscal year 2007. The amount that each non-individual member
    receives under the pro-rata program in any year is determined by
    multiplying the dollars available for pro-rata redemptions, if
    any that year, as determined by the Board of Directors, by a
    fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of patronage
    certificates eligible for redemption held by them, and the
    denominator of which is the sum of the patronage certificates
    eligible for redemption held by all eligible holders of
    patronage certificates that are not individuals. In addition to
    the annual pro-rata program, the Board of Directors approved an
    additional $50.0&#160;million of redemptions to be paid in
    fiscal year 2007, targeting older capital equity certificates.
    In accordance with authorization from the Board of Directors, we
    expect total redemptions related to the year ended
    August&#160;31, 2006, that will be distributed in fiscal year
    2007, to be approximately $112.4&#160;million, of which $47.1
    was redeemed in cash during the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006, compared to $6.3&#160;million during the
    three months ended November&#160;30, 2005. Included in our
    redemptions during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we intend
    to redeem approximately $36.0&#160;million by issuing shares of
    our 8% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock)
    pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities
    and Exchange Commission on December&#160;13, 2006.

    In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)

    Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement
    No.&#160;109&#148; (FIN&#160;48). FIN&#160;48 clarifies the
    accounting for income taxes recognized in an enterprise&#146;s
    financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and
    measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
    and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
    in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on
    derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
    accounting in interim periods and disclosure. FIN&#160;48 is
    effective for fiscal years beginning after December&#160;15,
    2006, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating
    the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated
    financial statements.

    In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards (SFAS)&#160;No.&#160;158,
    &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
    Other Postretirement Plans&#148; (SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158).
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 requires that employers recognize on a
    prospective basis the funded status of their defined benefit
    pension and other postretirement plans on their consolidated
    balance sheet and recognize as a component of other
    comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior
    service costs or credits that arise during the period but are
    not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost.
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 also requires additional disclosures in
    the notes to financial statements. SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 is
    effective as of the end of fiscal years ending after
    December&#160;15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact of
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 on our consolidated financial statements.

    Based on the funded status of our defined benefit pension and

    dates, we would be required to increase our net liabilities for
    pension and postretirement medical benefits upon adoption of
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158, which would result in a decrease to
    owners equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ultimate
    amounts recorded are highly dependent on a number of
    assumptions, including the discount rates in effect in 2007, the
    actual rate of return on pension assets for 2007 and the tax
    effects of the adjustment. Changes in these assumptions since
    our last measurement date could increase or decrease the
    expected impact of implementing SFAS&#160;No.&#160;158 in our
    consolidated financial statements at August&#160;31, 2007.

    During the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006, we
    instituted two commercial paper programs totaling
    $125&#160;million with banks participating in our five-year
    revolving credit facility. Terms of our five-year revolving
    credit facility allow a maximum usage of commercial paper of
    $100&#160;million at any point in time. The commercial paper
    programs do not increase our committed borrowing capacity in
    that we are required to have at least an equal amount of undrawn
    capacity available on our five-year revolving facility as to the
    amount of commercial paper issued. We issued no commercial paper
    during the three-month period ended November&#160;30, 2006.

Issuer&#146;s Commercial Paper without recourse and solely upon the
order and for the account of Issuer. Agent will limit its
solicitation of prospective Purchasers of Issuer&#146;s Commercial
Paper to institutional investors or other sophisticated
investors who normally purchase commercial paper. Agent will
not make any general solicitation or advertisement to the
public with respect to a particular placement of Issuer&#146;s
Commercial Paper. Issuer&#146;s Commercial paper shall be issued in
reliance upon the commercial paper exemption from registration
contained in Section&nbsp;3(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (&#147;Section&nbsp;3(a)(3)&#148;), and the appropriate exemption from
registration contained in applicable state securities laws.
Agent will in no event purchase or repurchase Issuer&#146;s
Commercial Paper for Agent&#146;s own account, nor will Agent take
any ownership interest of any kind in any of the Issuer&#146;s
Commercial Paper placed hereunder. Issuer understands and
agrees that Agent may charge Purchasers agency fees in
connection with facilitating purchase transactions of Issuer&#146;s
Commercial Paper for their accounts.</TD>

Dealer has and shall have no obligation to purchase the Notes from the Issuer or to arrange any

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The Issuer agrees to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements of external counsel) as they are incurred by it in connection
with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which
indemnification may be sought under Section&nbsp;5 of the Agreement (whether or not it is a party to any

    <TD>Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the existence of a Claim, such
Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Issuer, notify the
Issuer in writing of the existence thereof; provided that (i)&nbsp;the omission so to notify the
Issuer will not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder unless and
except to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results in the
forfeiture by the Issuer of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii)&nbsp;the omission so to
notify the Issuer will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnitee
otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such Claim is made against
any Indemnitee and it notifies the Issuer of the existence thereof, the Issuer will be
entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice
delivered to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided that if the defendants in any such Claim include
both the Indemnitee and the Issuer, and the Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to
the Issuer, the Issuer shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Claim on behalf
of such Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assert such legal defenses on behalf of such Indemnitee. Upon receipt of notice from the
Issuer to such Indemnitee of the Issuer&#146;s election so to assume the defense of such Claim and
approval by the Indemnitee of counsel, the Issuer will not be liable to such Indemnitee for
expenses incurred thereafter by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof (other
than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i)&nbsp;the Indemnitee shall have employed separate
counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to
the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Issuer shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel in the
jurisdiction in which any Claim is brought), approved by the Dealer, for all the Indemnitees),
(ii)&nbsp;the Issuer shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to
represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of existence of the Claim or
(iii)&nbsp;the Issuer has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee. The
indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be in
addition to any other liability the Issuer may otherwise have to an Indemnitee and shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Issuer and any Indemnitee.</TD>
