OF THE PURCHASERS
As a material inducement to the Seller to enter into and perform
its obligations under this Agreement, each of the Purchasers hereby severally
(as to such Purchaser only) represents and warrants to the Seller as set forth
in Sections 3.1 through 3.3 below.
3.1 AUTHORITY; ACTIONS; ENFORCEABILITY.
If such Purchaser is not a natural Person, such Purchaser has the
requisite corporate or limited partnership power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and the
execution and delivery by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the performance
by such Purchaser of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or limited partnership action on the part of such Purchaser
and no other corporate or limited partnership proceedings on the part of such
Purchaser are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to perform its
obligations hereunder. Such Purchaser has duly executed and delivered this
Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general equitable
principles.
3.2 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.
(a) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Units set forth
opposite its or his name on Annex I for its or his own account, for investment
only and not with a view to effecting a distribution thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Such Purchaser understands
that the Purchased Units to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities
laws of any state or other jurisdiction and cannot be disposed of unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state laws
or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that such
Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Purchased Units to be acquired by such Purchaser hereunder and making an
informed investment decision with respect thereto and that such Purchaser has
consulted with and relied exclusively upon the advice of such Purchaser's own
counsel and tax and financial advisors in connection with such Purchaser's
investment decision to acquire such Purchased Units.
(b) Such Purchaser qualifies as an "accredited investor" (as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), provided, that, in the case of
DJC, Inc. ("DJC"), in lieu of such representation and warranty as to the
qualification of DJC as an "accredited investor," DJC represents and warrants
that all investment decisions with respect to DJC's investment in the Purchased
Units to be acquired by DJC hereunder were made on behalf of DJC by TCW/Crescent
Mezzanine Partners II, L.P. and TWC Leverage Income Trust II, L.P., the holders,
collectively, of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of DJC.
(c) Such Purchaser further understands that the exemption from
registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to such
Purchaser) under the Securities
4
5
Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if
applicable, Rule 144 may only afford the basis for sales of the Purchased Units
to be acquired by such Purchaser hereunder only in limited amounts.
3.3 BROKERS.
No Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder or
financial advisor of such Purchaser in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No Person is entitled to receive any broker's,
finder's or similar fee or commission from such Person in connection with this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, based in
any way on any Contract made by or on behalf of such Purchaser.
ARTICLE IV

In case any one or more of the covenants set forth in this Agreement
shall have been breached by any party hereto, each other party hereto may
proceed to protect and enforce its or his rights either by suit in equity and/or
by action at law, including an action for damages as a result of any such breach
and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant. In the event
that any dispute between the Seller and any of the Purchasers should result in
litigation, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover

right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement,

and accountants (which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and

Except as set forth in the next sentence, each party hereto will pay its
own costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this
Agreement and to its performance of its obligations hereunder, including the

agrees that it will pay, and will hold each Purchaser harmless from, any and all

4.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

each of the Purchasers and the respective successors, assigns, heirs and

4.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous arrangements or understandings with respect thereto.

number) set forth below, or such other address (or facsimile number) as shall
have been specified by like notice by such party:
(i) if to the Seller, to

(ii) if to any Purchaser, to such Purchaser at the address

such Purchaser.
Each such notice, demand, consent or other communication shall be effective upon
receipt in the case of physical delivery or overnight courier, upon confirmation
of receipt by or on behalf of the addressee in the case of transmission by
facsimile if received prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, and, if received
after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next Business Day
6

immediately after the date of such receipt, and five Business Days after deposit
in the U.S. mails in the case of mailing. As used herein, the term "Business
Day" means any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking
institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.
4.7 AMENDMENTS.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended,
or any of the provisions hereof waived, temporarily or permanently, pursuant to
the written consent of the Seller and the Purchasers.
4.8 GOVERNING LAW, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; JURISDICTION.
(a) All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and
validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal law of the State of Delaware, without giving effect
to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of
Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware will control the
interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such
jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the internal law of
some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.
(b) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND
EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN
ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A
JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION
OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO
ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS
RELATED HERETO.
4.9 SEVERABILITY.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted
in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision
or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and
this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.
4.10 INTERPRETATION.
The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only
and shall not control or affect the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.
Annex I hereto is hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if
set forth on full herein. Where specific
7
8
language (such as the word "including") is used to clarify by example a general
statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to
modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general
statement to which it relates.
4.11 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
The Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to any
projections, forecasts or forward-looking information provided to the
Purchasers. There is no assurance that any projected or forecasted results will
be achieved. EXCEPT AS TO THOSE MATTERS EXPRESSLY COVERED BY THE REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PURCHASED UNITS (AND THE BUSINESS AND
ASSETS OF THE COMPANY REPRESENTED THEREBY) ARE BEING SOLD TO THE PURCHASERS ON
AN "AS IS, WHERE IS" BASIS AND THE SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
REPRESENTATIONS AND GUARANTEES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE SELLER MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE AND NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. THE PURCHASE PRICE WITH RESPECT TO
THE PURCHASED UNITS WAS NEGOTIATED PRIVATELY BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THE SELLER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SUCH KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS
MATTERS THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF EVALUATING THE MERITS OF A SALE OF THE PURCHASED
UNITS ON THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN, HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS
REGARDING THE BUSINESS, PROPERTIES, PROSPECTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE
COMPANY AND THE ADEQUACY OF THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE PURCHASED UNITS AND

that neither the Seller nor any of its representatives nor any other Person has
made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or
completeness of any memoranda, charts, summaries or schedules heretofore made
available by the Seller or its representatives to such Purchaser or any other
information which is not included in this Agreement, and neither the Seller nor
any of its representatives nor any other Person will have or be subject to any
liability to any Purchaser, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person resulting
from the distribution of any such information to, or use of any such information
by, any Purchaser, any Affiliate thereof or any of their agents, consultants,
accountants, counsel or other representatives.
4.12 COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and
each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. This Agreement, and
any amendments, modifications or waivers hereof, to the extent signed and
delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and
respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have
the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof
delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such
amendment, modification or waiver, each other party hereto or thereto shall
reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties.
