Dear Sirs:
Allied Waste North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to
issue and sell to UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse
Securities (USA) LLC, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc., and the other financial institutions listed in
Schedule C hereto (each, an “Underwriter” and, collectively, the
“Underwriters”) $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due
2017 (the “Notes”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Notes are to
be issued pursuant to a Series Supplement (the “Supplement”), to be dated as of the Closing
Date (as defined below), to an indenture (together with the Supplement, the “Indenture”),
dated December 23, 1998, among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank
National Association (the “Trustee”).
The Notes will be guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Allied Waste Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Allied”), and each of the entities listed on Schedule A
hereto (each, including Allied, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”).
The Notes will be secured by a first priority lien on: (i) all of the capital stock of
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxx Industries, LLC’s (“BFI”) domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (the
“Domestic Pledged Stock”); (ii) 65% of the capital stock of BFI’s foreign Restricted
Subsidiaries (the “Foreign Pledged Stock”), (iii) all tangible and intangible assets (other
than real property) currently owned by BFI and substantially all of BFI’s domestic Restricted
Subsidiaries, and (iv) certain tangible and intangible assets of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Allied (collectively, the “Assets” and, along with the Domestic Pledged Stock and the
Foreign Pledged Stock, the “Collateral”). BFI and its subsidiaries that own the Collateral
(the “Grantor Subsidiaries”) entered into a Shared Collateral Pledge Agreement, dated July
30, 1999 and amended and restated as of April 29, 2003, among the Company, BFI, the Grantor Subsidiaries
and the Collateral Trustee (as amended, the “Shared Collateral Pledge Agreement”), a Shared
Collateral Security Agreement, dated July 30, 1999 and amended and restated as of April 29, 2003,
among the Company, BFI, the Grantor Subsidiaries and the Collateral Trustee (as amended, the
“Shared Collateral Security Agreement”) and a Collateral Trust Agreement, dated July 30,
1999 and amended and restated as of April 29, 2003, among the Company, BFI, the Grantor
Subsidiaries and the Collateral Trustee (as amended, the “Collateral Trust Agreement” and,
along with the Shared Collateral Pledge Agreement and Shared Collateral Security Agreement, the
“Shared Collateral Agreements”). The Shared Collateral Agreements provide for the grant by
BFI and its subsidiaries that own the Collateral to the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit
of the Holders of the Notes of a pledge of, or a security interest in, as the case may be, the
Collateral.
The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3,
as amended (File No. 333-135092), including a prospectus, relating to the Notes, which incorporates
by reference documents which the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has furnished to you, for use by the
Underwriters and by dealers in connection with the offering of the Notes, copies of the prospectus
included in the registration statement (the “Shelf Prospectus”) and copies of the
preliminary prospectus supplement, relating to the Notes, filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), in each
case as on file with the Commission when marketing efforts for the Notes began (the Shelf
Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement together, the “Basic Prospectus”).

or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, and (ii) any information contained or
incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
the Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430A, Rule 430B or Rule 430C
under the Act, to be part of the registration statement at the Effective Time.
Except where the context otherwise requires, “Prospectus Supplement,” as used herein,
means the final prospectus supplement, relating to the Notes, filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act on or before the second business day after the
date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required under the Act), in the form furnished by the
Company to you for use by the Underwriters and by dealers in connection with the offering of the
Notes.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the
Indenture.
1. Agreements to Sell and Purchase.
On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the
Underwriters, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company,
the principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule
C hereto at a purchase price equal to 98.50% of the principal amount thereof (the “Purchase
Price”). The Company is advised that each Underwriter intends (i) to make a public offering of
the Notes as soon after the date hereof as in your judgment is advisable and (ii) initially to
offer the Notes upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. Each Underwriter may from time to time
increase or decrease the public offering price after the initial public offering to such extent as
such Underwriter may determine without notice.
2. Delivery and Payment.
(a) Delivery of, and payment of the Purchase Price for, the Notes shall be made at the offices
of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 or such other
location as may be mutually acceptable. Such delivery and payment shall be made at 9:00 a.m., New
York City time, on March 12, 2007, or at such other time on the same date or such other date as
shall be agreed upon by the Underwriters and the Company in writing.
3
The time and date of such delivery and the payment for the Notes are herein called the
“Closing Date.”
(b) One or more of the Notes in definitive global form, registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), having an aggregate principal amount
corresponding to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (collectively, the “Global
Notes”), shall be delivered by the Company to the Underwriters (or as the Underwriters direct)
in each case with any transfer taxes thereon duly paid by the Company against payment by the
Underwriters of the Purchase Price thereof by wire transfer in same day funds to the order of the
Company. The Global Notes shall be made available to the Underwriters for inspection not later
than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.
3. Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors.
Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Underwriters as follows:
(a) To file the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act not later than the
Commission’s close of business on the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier
time as may be required under the Act), in the form furnished by the Company to the Underwriters
for use by the Underwriters and by dealers in connection with the offering of the Notes.
(b) To advise the Underwriters promptly and, if requested by the Underwriters, confirm such
advice in writing, (i) of the issuance by any state securities commission of any stop order
suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Notes for offering or sale in
any jurisdiction designated by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, or the initiation
of any proceeding by any state securities commission or any other federal or state regulatory
authority for such purpose and (ii) of the happening of any event within the period during which a
prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with
Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule) in connection with any sale of Notes, which event makes
any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the
Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus untrue or that requires any additions to or
changes in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free
Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company and the
Guarantors shall use their best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order
suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes under any state securities or Blue Sky laws
and, if at any time any state securities commission or other federal or state regulatory authority
shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes under any state
securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their best efforts to obtain
the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.
(c) To furnish the Underwriters, and those persons identified by the Underwriters to the
Company, as many copies of the Prospectus (or of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have made any amendments or supplements thereto after the effective date of the
Registration Statement) as the Underwriters may from time
4
to time reasonably request for the time period specified in Section 3(f); in case the
Underwriters are required to deliver (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under
the Act or any similar rule), in connection with the sale of the Notes, a prospectus after the
nine-month period referred to in Section 10(a)(3) of the Act, or after the time a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement is required pursuant to Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K under
the Act, the Company will prepare, at its expense, promptly upon request such amendment or
amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to permit
compliance with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K
under the Act. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus, and any amendments and
supplements thereto required pursuant hereto, by the Underwriters in connection with the offering
and sale of the Notes.
(d) If it is necessary for any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be
declared effective before the offering of the Notes may commence, the Company will endeavor to
cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible and the Company
will advise the Underwriters promptly and, if requested by the Underwriters, will confirm such
advice in writing, (i) when such post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has become
effective, and (ii) if Rule 430A under the Act is used, when the Prospectus is filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (which the Company agrees to file in a timely
manner in accordance with such Rules).
(e) To advise the Underwriters promptly and, if requested by the Underwriters, to confirm such
advice in writing, of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus or for additional information with respect thereto, or of notice of institution of
proceedings for, or the entry of a stop order, suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and, if the Commission should enter a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, to use its best efforts to obtain the lifting or removal of such order as
soon as possible.
(f) During such period as a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act (whether
physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule) in connection
with the offering and sale of the Notes by the Underwriters, (i) to advise the Underwriters
promptly, and if requested by the Underwriters, to confirm such advice in writing, of any proposal
to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including by filing any documents that would be incorporated
therein by reference, and to provide the Underwriters and Underwriters’ counsel copies of any such
documents for review and comment a reasonable amount of time prior to any proposed filing and to
file no such amendment or supplement to which the Underwriters shall reasonably object in writing
and (ii) to prepare promptly upon any Underwriter’s reasonable request any amendment or supplement
to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus which in the reasonable opinion of the counsel for the Underwriters is believed to be
necessary under the Act.
(g) To advise the Underwriters promptly, during the period referred to in Section 3(f) above,
if any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which, it becomes necessary to
amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the
5
Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, if it is
necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus
or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Act, and forthwith to prepare and file
with the Commission an appropriate amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, Basic
Prospectus, Prospectus, Permitted Free Writing Prospectus so that the statements therein, as so
amended or supplemented, will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be
misleading, or so that such Registration Statement, Basic Prospectus, Prospectus or Permitted Free
Writing Prospectus will comply with applicable law, and to furnish to the Underwriters and such
other persons as the Underwriters may designate such number of copies thereof as the Underwriters
may reasonably request.

necessary in order to effect such registration or qualification; provided, however, that neither
the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign

counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Notes by them and any advertising expenses

defined in Rule 405 under the Act; no stop order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use
of the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing

for such purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, are
threatened by the Commission.
(b) The Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time did not, and as of the Closing Date will
not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, as of the date thereof and as of the

the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to statements

or the Prospectus will conform, in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; the Registration Statement, as of the Effective

that such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus is so sent or given after the Registration Statement
was filed with the Commission (and after such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus was, if required
pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, filed with the Commission), the sending or giving, by the
Underwriters, of any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus will satisfy the provisions of Rule 164 or

in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder.
9
(f) Each of Allied and its subsidiaries has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the
corporate power and authority to carry on its business as described in the Registration Statement,
the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, and to
own, lease and operate its properties, and each is duly qualified and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its
business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except where the
failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects,
financial condition or results of operations of Allied and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a
“Material Adverse Effect”).
(g) All outstanding shares of capital stock of Allied and the Company have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive
or similar rights.
(h) The entities listed on Schedule B hereto are the only subsidiaries, direct or

each of the subsidiaries of Allied have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid

of any nature (each, a “Lien”), except for (i) Liens to be created in connection with the
issuance of the Notes, (ii) Liens as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Basic
Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and (iii) such other Liens that
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Subsidiary of the Company
(other than Saguaro National Insurance Company, Global Indemnity Assurance Company, Commercial
Reassurance Limited and Allied Receivables Funding Incorporated) will be a “Restricted
Subsidiary” within the meaning of the Indenture.
(i) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of
the Guarantors.
(j) The Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and each of the Guarantors and, on
the Closing Date, will have been validly executed and delivered by the Company and each of the
Guarantors. When the Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each of the
Guarantors, the Indenture will be a valid and binding agreement of the Company and each Guarantor,
enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to (i)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and (ii) general
principles of equity, including, without limitation, standards of materiality, good faith, fair
dealing and reasonableness, equitable defenses and limits as to the availability of equitable
remedies (whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or equity). On the Closing
Date, the Indenture will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust

to cause the Company or any Guarantor to register under the Act any securities of the Company or

franchises, authorizations and other approvals (each, an “Authorization”) of, and has made
all filings with and notices to, all governmental or regulatory authorities and self-regulatory
organizations and all courts and other tribunals, including without limitation, under any
applicable Environmental Laws, as are necessary to own, lease, license and operate its respective
properties and to conduct its business, except where the failure to have any such Authorization or

or governing body) which allows or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would allow, revocation,
suspension or termination of any such Authorization or results or, after notice or lapse of time or
both, would result in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Authorization;

applied throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed therein; the other financial and
statistical information and data contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration

Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

Guarantor’s retaining any rating assigned to the Company or any Guarantor, any securities of the
Company or any Guarantor.
(aa) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration

the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, (i) there

Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as being owned by any of them, free and clear of all Liens,
except for (i) Liens to be created in connection with the issuance of the Notes, (ii) Liens
disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Permitted
Free Writing Prospectus and (iii) such other Liens which could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; all the material property described in the Registration Statement, the
Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as being held under lease
by Allied or a subsidiary is held thereby under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Effect, (i) there is (A) no unfair labor practice complaint pending or, to Allied’s knowledge after

Relations Board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under collective
bargaining agreements is pending or threatened, (B) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage
pending or, to Allied’s knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against Allied or any of its

or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder concerning the employees of Allied or any of
its subsidiaries.
(dd) Allied maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
15
compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
respect to any differences.
(ee) Allied has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term
is defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) and “internal control over financial
reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act); such
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to
Allied, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Allied’s Chief Executive
Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities; Allied’s independent
auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have been advised of: (i) any
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely
affect Allied’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in
Allied’s internal controls; any material weaknesses in internal controls have been identified to
Allied’s independent auditors; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure
controls and procedures and internal controls, there have been no significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving Allied or any of its
subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of
Allied, threatened that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

officer, agent, employee or affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C of the Act) of Allied
or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).
(hh) Neither Allied nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to Allied’s knowledge after due inquiry,
any employee or agent of Allied or its subsidiaries has made any payment of funds of Allied or its
subsidiaries or received or retained any funds in violation of any law, rule or regulation, which
payment, receipt or retention of funds is of a character required to be disclosed in the
Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus.
(ii) To Allied’s knowledge after due inquiry, there are no affiliations or associations
between any member of the NASD and any of Allied’s officers, directors or 5% or greater security
holders, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement (excluding the exhibits thereto), the

the Underwriters or counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a
16
representation and warranty by the Company or such Guarantor to the Underwriters as to the
matters covered thereby.
(kk) All indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantors that will be repaid with the proceeds
of the issuance and sale of the Notes was incurred, and the indebtedness represented by the Notes
is being incurred, for proper purposes and in good faith and each of the Company and the Guarantors
was, at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness that will be repaid with the proceeds of
the issuance and sale of the Notes, and will be on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes) solvent, and had at the time of the
incurrence of such indebtedness that will be repaid with the proceeds of the issuance and sale of
the Notes and will have on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the application of the proceeds
from the issuance of the Notes) sufficient capital for carrying on their respective business and
were, at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness that will be repaid with the proceeds of
the issuance and sale of the Notes, and will be on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the
application of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes) able to pay their respective debts as
they mature.
(ll) No action has been taken and no law, statute, rule or regulation or order has been
enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency or body which prevents the execution,
delivery and performance of any of the Operative Documents, the issuance of the Notes or the
Guarantees, or suspends the sale of the Notes or the Guarantees in any jurisdiction referred to in
Section 3(h); and no injunction, restraining order or other order or relief of any nature by a
federal or state court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction has been issued with respect to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries which would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of the

(a) The Company and each Guarantor agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter, its directors, its officers, affiliates and each person, if any, who
controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including,
without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration
Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company becoming
17
effective after the date of this Agreement) or arises out of or is based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
judgment arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information
concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to the Company
expressly for use in, the Registration Statement or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact included in the Disclosure Package, any Prospectus (the term
Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 5 being deemed to include the Basic Prospectus, the
Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the
Act) of the Company or any Guarantor or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or
more of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or arises out of or is based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, with
respect to such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, insofar as any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or judgment arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with
information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to
the Company expressly for use in, such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.
(b) The Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and the Guarantors, and their respective directors and officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or the Guarantors from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including, without limitation, any
reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments) which, jointly or severally, the Company, the Guarantors or any such person may incur
under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or judgment arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such
Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to the Company expressly for
use in, the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any
post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with such
information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was
required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not
misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on
behalf of such Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in, the Disclosure Package, any
Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such
information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such
information, in the
18
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company and the
Guarantors acknowledge that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page
regarding delivery of the Notes and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (i) the fifth paragraph
related to overallotment, stabilization and syndicate covering transactions and (ii) the last
paragraph (describing the relationships between the Underwriters and the Company), in each of the
Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on
behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Registration Statement (or in the
Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), the
Disclosure Package, any Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.
(c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified
party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
“indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of
such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party
and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in
the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 5(a)
and 5(b), the Underwriters shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to
this Section 5(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the
Underwriters). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall
have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have
been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party 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 fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties
and all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm
shall be designated in writing by UBS, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section
5(a), and by the Company and the Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section
5(b). The indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified
party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of
any settlement of any action effected without the indemnifying party’s written consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment
with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by
the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the
19
subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 45 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid
request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance
with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have
given the indemnifying party at least 45 days prior notice of its intention to settle.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an
indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause 5(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 5(d)(i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters,
on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net
proceeds from the offering of the Notes (after discounts and commissions, but before deducting
expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by
the Underwriters bear to the total price to investors of the Notes, in each case, as set forth in
this Agreement. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one
hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company, the Guarantors, and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation even
if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
matter, including any action, that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, the Underwriters shall
not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
20
the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters exceeds the amount of any
damages which the Underwriters has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to
the respective principal amount of Notes purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not
joint.
(e) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any
rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
6. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations.
The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Notes under this Agreement are subject to
the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) All the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this
Agreement shall be true and correct on the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made
on and as of the Closing Date.
(b) On or after the Applicable Time, (i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading,
suspension or withdrawal of, nor shall any notice have been given of any potential or intended
downgrading, suspension or withdrawal of, or of any review (or of any potential or intended review)
for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in, any rating of
the Company or any Guarantor or any securities of the Company or any Guarantor (including, without
limitation, the placing of any of the foregoing ratings on credit watch with negative or developing
implications or under review with an uncertain direction) by any “nationally recognized statistical
rating organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, (ii)
there shall not have occurred any change, nor shall any notice have been given of any potential or
intended negative change, in the outlook for any rating of the Company or any Guarantor or any
securities of the Company or any Guarantor by any such rating organization and (iii) no such rating
organization shall have given notice that it has assigned (or is considering assigning) a lower
rating to the Notes than that on which the Notes were marketed.
(c) The Registration Statement shall have remained effective under the Act. The Prospectus
Supplement shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act in
accordance with Section 3(a) of this Agreement and no Prospectus or amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including documents deemed to be incorporated by
reference therein, shall have been filed to which you object in writing.
(d) Prior to the Closing Date, (i) no stop order with respect to the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement shall have been issued under the Act or proceedings initiated under Section
8(d) or 8(e) of the Act; (ii) the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto shall
21
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iii) none of the
Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus, and no amendment or supplement thereto, shall include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;
(iv) the Disclosure Package, and no amendment or supplement thereto, shall include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;
(v) none of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, shall include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; (vi) there shall not
have occurred any change or any development involving a prospective change in the condition,
financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business, management or operations of Allied and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (vii) there shall not have been any change or any development
involving a prospective change in the capital stock or in the long-term debt of Allied or any of
its subsidiaries; and (viii) neither Allied nor any of its subsidiaries shall have incurred any
liability or obligation, direct or contingent, the effect of which, in any such case described in
clause 6(d)(vi), 6(d)(vii) or 6(d)(viii), in your reasonable judgment, is material and adverse and,
in your reasonable judgment, makes it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery
of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Basic
Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any.
(e) You shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate dated the Closing Date, signed
by the Chief Financial Officer and the Treasurer of the Company and each of the Guarantors,
confirming the matters set forth in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) of this Agreement and stating that (i)
they have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus and the
Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, and (ii) each of the Company and the Guarantors has
complied with all the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions herein contained and required
to be complied with or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.
(f) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, including a 10b-5 statement (in
each case reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date,
of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, to the effect set forth on
Exhibit A attached hereto and an opinion (reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for
the Underwriters) of Xx Xxxx Xxxxx, Esq., Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Assistant
Corporate Secretary of the Company to the effect set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
In addition, you shall have received opinions (reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for the
Underwriters), dated the Closing Date, of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (reasonably
satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters) as to such matters as you may reasonably
request with respect to Guarantors organized outside the states of New York and Delaware which are
identified as Significant Subsidiaries (within the meaning of Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the
Act) in an officer’s certificate addressed to you and dated the Closing Date.
The opinions of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP and Xx Xxxx Xxxxx, Esq. described in Section 6(f) above
shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company and the Guarantors and shall so state
therein.
22
(g) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, dated the Closing
Date, of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters.
(h) The Underwriters shall have received, at the time this Agreement is executed and at the
Closing Date, letters dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Underwriters from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent
registered public accounting firm of the Company, containing the information and statements of the
type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to the Underwriters with respect to the
financial statements and certain financial information contained and incorporated by reference in
each of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free
Writing Prospectus.

to perform or comply with any of the agreements herein contained and required to be performed or
complied with by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, at or prior to the Closing
Date.
7. Effectiveness of Agreement and Termination.
This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
parties hereto.
The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the
absolute discretion of the Representatives of the Underwriters, since the time of the execution of
this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration
Statement, the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements
thereto) and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, (x) there has been any material
adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the business,
properties, management, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operation of Allied and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole, which would, in UBS’s judgment, make it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in
the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectuses and the Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto) and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses,
if any, or (y) there shall have occurred: (i) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities
or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other
national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of a majority in interest of
the Underwriters, including UBS, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act,
declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public
offering or the delivery of the Notes, (ii) the suspension or
23
material limitation of trading in securities or other instruments on the New York Stock
Exchange, (iii) the suspension of trading of any securities of the Company or any Guarantor on any
exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other
promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other
governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects, or will materially
and adversely affect, the business, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of
operations of Allied and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (v) the declaration of a banking
moratorium by either federal or New York State authorities, (vi) any change in United States or
international financial, political or economic conditions as would, in the judgment or a majority
in interest of the Underwriters, including UBS, be likely to prejudice materially the success of
the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Notes, whether in the primary market or in respect
of dealings in the secondary market or (vii) any major disruption of settlements of securities or
clearance services in the United States.
If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
the Notes which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, other than as a result
of a failure by the Company and the Guarantors to meet the conditions set forth in Section 6 or the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to the immediately prior paragraph of this Section 7, and
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, as
the case may be, agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each
non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the principal
amount of the Notes set forth opposite its name in Schedule C bears to the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes which all the non-defaulting Underwriters, as the case may be, have
agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as the non-defaulting Underwriters may specify, to
purchase the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, as the case may be, agreed
but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes which any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 1
hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 7 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such
principal amount of the Notes without the written consent of such Underwriter. If on the Closing
Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Notes and the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased by all Underwriters and arrangements
satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Company for purchase of such the Notes are not made within
48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company. In any such case which does not result in termination
of this Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but
in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the
Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Free Writing Prospectuses, if
any, or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph
shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of any such
Underwriter under this Agreement.
24
8. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
No proceeding related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be
commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York
located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters,
and the Company hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect
thereto. The Company hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any proceeding (whether based
upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The
Company agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding brought in any such court shall be
conclusive and binding upon itself and may be enforced in any other courts in the jurisdiction of
which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
9. Miscellaneous.
Notices given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be addressed as follows: (i)
if to the Company or any Guarantor, to 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, (000) 000-0000,
Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and (ii) if to the Underwriters, c/o UBS Securities LLC, 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Syndicate Department, or in any case to such other address
as the person to be notified may have requested in writing.
The respective indemnities, contribution agreements, representations and warranties of the
Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive delivery of and payment for the
Notes, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on
behalf of the Underwriters, the officers, directors or affiliates of the Underwriters, any person
controlling the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, any Guarantor, the officers who have signed the
Registration Statement, directors of the Company or any Guarantor, or any person controlling the
Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, (ii) acceptance of the Notes and payment for them hereunder and (iii) termination of this
Agreement.
If for any reason the Notes are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided
herein (other than as a result of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7), the
Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse the Underwriters for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by them. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall be liable for all expenses which they have agreed to pay pursuant to Section 3(i)
hereof. The Company and each Guarantor also agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the
Underwriters and their officers, directors and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriters
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act for any and all
reasonable fees and expenses (including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel) incurred by them in connection with enforcing their rights under this Agreement (including
without limitation its rights under Section 5).
25
Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of
and shall be binding upon the Company, the Guarantors, the Underwriters, the Underwriters’
respective directors and officers, any controlling persons referred to herein, the directors of the
Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, all as and to the extent
provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue
of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser of any of the
Notes from the Underwriters merely because of such purchase.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York.
This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.
10. No Fiduciary Relationship.
The Company and each Guarantor each hereby acknowledge that each Underwriter is acting solely
as underwriter in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities. The Company
and each Guarantor each further acknowledge that each Underwriter is acting pursuant to a
contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis,
and in no event do the parties intend that any Underwriter acts or be responsible as a fiduciary to
the Company or any Guarantor, their respective management, stockholders or creditors or any other
person in connection with any activity that such Underwriter may undertake or have undertaken in
furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities, either before or after the date
hereof. Each Underwriter hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to the
Company or any Guarantor, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company and each Guarantor each hereby
confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The Company, each Guarantor and each
Underwriter agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with
respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by any Underwriter to the
Company or any Guarantor regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions
or views with respect to the price or market for the Company’s securities, do not constitute advice
or recommendations to the Company or any Guarantor.
11. Additional Information.
Each of the Underwriters is not a bank and is separate from any bank that may be affiliated
thereto. Because each of the Underwriters is a separately incorporated entity, it is solely
responsible for its own contractual obligations and commitments, including obligations with respect
to sales and purchases of securities. Securities sold, offered or recommended by each of the
Underwriters are not deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are
not guaranteed by a branch or agency, and are not otherwise an obligation or responsibility of a
branch or agency.
Lending affiliates of any of the Underwriters may have lending relationships with issuers of
securities underwritten or privately placed by such Underwriter. To the extent
26
required under the securities laws, prospectuses and other disclosure documents for securities
underwritten or privately placed by such Underwriter will disclose the existence of any such
lending relationships and whether the proceeds of the issue will be used to repay debts owed to
affiliates of such Underwriters.
27
Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Underwriters.

authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive
or similar rights;
(iii) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of Allied’s Significant
Subsidiaries (including the Company) (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Act) have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned by

both, would result in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Authorization;
except where such failure to be valid and in full force and effect or to be in compliance, the
occurrence of any such event or the presence of any such restriction would not, singly or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect;
