- To advise the Initial Purchasers promptly and, if requested by the Initial Purchasers, 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 or the related Guarantees for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority and (ii) of the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Offering Memorandum untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes or the related Guarantees under any state securities or Blue Sky laws and, if at any time any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes or the related Guarantees under any state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.

- If, during the period referred to in Section 4(c) above, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company and the Guarantors or in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors or counsel for the Initial Purchasers, it becomes necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when such Offering Memorandum is delivered to an Eligible Purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with applicable law, (i) to notify the Initial Purchasers and (ii) forthwith to prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum 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 the Offering Memorandum will comply with applicable law.

- For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company and the Guarantors are not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to make available to any holder or beneficial owner of Restricted Notes in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Restricted Notes from such holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act.

The Company has, as of the date hereof, and will have, as of the Closing Date an authorized and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, both on an historical basis and as adjusted to give effect to the offering of the Notes. The Company owns directly or indirectly such percentage of the outstanding capital stock (or similar interests) of each of its subsidiaries as is set forth opposite the name of such subsidiary in Schedule IV hereto, free and clear of all claims, liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, stockholders agreements and voting trusts, subject to such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
- The Company has no subsidiaries other than those listed in Schedule IV hereto. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation or other entity in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as the case may be. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for those failures to be so qualified or in good standing that will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate, or other, power and authority, and all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, filings, qualifications, licenses and permits of and from all public, regulatory or governmental agencies and bodies, to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as now being conducted and as described in the Offering Memorandum (except for those the absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of the Material Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to revocation or modification of any such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, filings, qualifications, licenses or permits.
- Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in violation or breach of, or in default under (nor has an event occurred that with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under) any Material Contract, and each Material Contract is in full force and effect, and is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company or such subsidiary, as the case may be, and (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally) is enforceable as to the Company or such subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, subject to such exceptions which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Material Subsidiary is in violation of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or similar governing instrument.
- There is no litigation, arbitration, claim, governmental or other proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing with respect to the Company or any Material Subsidiary, or any of its respective operations, businesses, properties or assets, except as described in the Offering Memorandum, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Material Subsidiary is, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would be, in violation of or non-compliance with the requirements of any Material Permit or the provisions of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree, including, but without limitation thereto, all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to (A) zoning, land use, protection of the environment, human health and safety or hazardous or toxic substances, wastes, pollutants or contaminants and (B) employee or occupational safety, discrimination in hiring, promotion or pay of employees, employee hours and wages or employee benefits, except for such violations or failures of compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
- Except as described in the Offering Memorandum, the Company and each Material Subsidiary have (A) good and marketable title to all real and personal properties owned by them, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, and mortgages, and (B) valid, subsisting and enforceable leases for all real and personal properties leased by them, in each case, subject to such exceptions as, individually or in the aggregate, do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, no real property owned, leased, licensed or used by the Company or by a Material Subsidiary lies in an area that is, or to the best knowledge of the Company will be, subject to zoning, use, or building code restrictions that would prohibit or prevent the continued effective ownership, leasing, licensing, or use of such real property in the business of the Company or such Material Subsidiary as presently conducted or as the Offering Memorandum indicates is contemplated to be conducted, subject to such exceptions which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
- The Company, directly or through one or more of the subsidiaries, owns or possesses all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), service marks and trade names (collectively, "Intellectual Property") necessary to conduct its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, except where the failure to own or possess such Intellectual Property, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received notice of infringement of or conflict with the asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property, except for those which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best actual knowledge of the Company's senior management (no duty of inquiry being implied), there is no infringement by others of any Intellectual Property of the Company or any subsidiary that has had or may in the future have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company or a predecessor has registered, and the Company or a subsidiary owns the rights to all registrations of the rights to the trademark and related logo for each of "Vail" and "Beaver Creek" in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so register or to so own such rights to such registrations would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
- To the Company's best knowledge, neither the Company nor any subsidiary, nor any director, officer or employee of the Company or any subsidiary has, directly or indirectly, used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment, or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, violated any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback, or other unlawful payment.
- There are no holders of securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who, by reason of the execution by the Company or any of the Guarantors of this Agreement or any other Operative Document to which it is a party or the consummation by the Company or any of the Guarantors of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have the right to request or demand that the Company or any of its subsidiaries register under the Act or analogous foreign laws and regulations securities held by them other than pursuant to the Registration Right Agreement.
- None of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
- Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and its subsidiaries and any other person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Initial Purchasers for a brokerage commission, finder's fee or like payment in connection with the issuance, purchase and sale of the Notes.
- Other than as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, no labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the best knowledge of the Company, is imminent that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
- (A) All United States Federal income tax returns of the Company and each subsidiary required by law to be filed have been filed and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed that are due and payable have been paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be promptly taken and (B) the Company and the subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to the applicable laws of all other jurisdictions, except, as to each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), insofar as the failure to file such returns, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company and the subsidiaries have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any subsidiary, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with US GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the consolidated books of the Company in respect of any tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
- The Company and each subsidiary is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the subsidiaries are engaged.
- Except as disclosed in, or incorporated by reference into, the Offering Memorandum, there are no business relationships or related party transactions of the nature described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the Commission involving the Company or any other persons referred to in such Item 404, except for such transactions that would be considered immaterial under such Item 404.
- No action has been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order has been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency that prevents the issuance of the Notes or the Guarantees or prevents or suspends the use of the Offering Memorandum; no injunction, restraining order or order of any nature by a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction has been issued that prevents the issuance of the Notes or the Guarantees or prevents or suspends the sale of the Notes or the Guarantees in any jurisdiction referred to in Section 4(e) hereof; and every request of any securities authority or agency of any jurisdiction for additional information has been complied with in all material respects.

- Neither the Company nor any Guarantor intends to, nor believes that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

- Indemnification.
- The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Initial Purchasers, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, provided that such settlement was effected with the Company's and the Guarantor's written consent in accordance with Section 6(c) hereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein), or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company and the Guarantors in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have, including under this Agreement.
- The Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company and the Guarantors, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Company and the Guarantors, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, provided that such settlement was effected with such Initial Purchaser's written consent in accordance with Section 6(c) hereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company and the Guarantors in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers expressly for use therein; provided, however, that in no case shall the Initial Purchasers be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have, including under this Agreement.
- Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may otherwise have). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying party or parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties with respect to such different defenses), in any of which events such fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above shall only be liable for the legal expenses of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction in which any claim or action is brought. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its prior written consent, provided that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.
- Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable from an indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses suffered by the Company or any Guarantor, any contribution received by the Company and the Guarantors from persons, other than the Initial Purchasers, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to which the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Restricted Notes or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law or indemnification is not available as a result of the indemnifying party not having received notice as provided in Section 6, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total proceeds from the offering of Restricted Notes (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors and (ii) the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchasers, 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, any Guarantor or the Initial Purchasers 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 Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above.
- Conditions of Initial Purchasers' Obligations. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Restricted Notes, as provided herein, shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

("BAS") may specify, to purchase the Restricted Notes which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers, 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 Restricted Notes which any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 3 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of the Restricted Notes without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase the Restricted Notes and the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes to be purchased by all Initial Purchasers and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for purchase of such the Restricted Notes are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser and the Company. In any such case which does not result in termination of this Agreement, either BAS 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 Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of any such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the Restricted Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (a) IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (A "QIB") OR (b) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (a) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (b) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QIB IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (d) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), OR (e) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company that the Initial Purchasers will make offers (the "Exempt Resales") of the Restricted Notes on the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, solely to (i) persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A under the Act ("QIBs") and (ii) non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Act (each, a "Reg S Investor"). The QIBs and the Reg S Investors are collectively referred to herein as the "Eligible Purchasers." The Initial Purchaser will offer the Restricted Notes to such Eligible Purchasers initially at a price equal to that set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum. Such price may be changed by the Initial Purchasers at any time without notice.
Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Restricted Notes will have the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement relating thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), to be dated the Closing Date (as defined), for so long as such Restricted Notes constitute "Transfer Restricted Securities" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will agree to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Act (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") relating to the Company's 6 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Exchange Notes") and Guarantees thereof to be offered in exchange for the Restricted Notes and Guarantees thereof (the "Exchange Offer") and (ii) a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (the "Shelf Registration Statement" and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the "Registration Statements") relating to the resale by certain holders of the Restricted Notes, and to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statements to be declared effective and to consummate the Exchange Offer. This Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Operative Documents."
"The Restricted Notes covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of your distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the Offering and the Closing Date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (or Rule 144A in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act), and in connection with any subsequent sale by you of the Restricted Notes covered hereby in reliance on Regulation S during the period referred to above to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration, you must deliver a notice to substantially the foregoing effect. Terms used above have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation S."
The Initial Purchasers acknowledge that the Company and the Guarantors and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 hereof, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors and counsel for the Initial Purchasers will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and hereby consent to such reliance.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, (i) in no case shall the Initial Purchasers be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Restricted Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Initial Purchasers has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) 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. For purposes of this Section 7, (A) each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and (B) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and (A) each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and (B) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Company and the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the failure to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 7 or otherwise. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its prior written consent, provided that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld. The Initial Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Restricted Notes purchased by each of the Initial Purchasers hereunder and not joint.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth the understanding among the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors please so indicate in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon this letter shall constitute a binding agreement among us.
