Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and delivered to any Initial Purchaser or to counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a joint and several representation and warranty by the Company and each of its subsidiaries to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters covered thereby.

Section 3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and the Guarantors agree to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, and the Initial Purchasers, acting severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, the Securities in the respective amounts set forth on Schedule 2 hereto from the Company at 99.307% of their principal amount.

(a) The Company will not amend or supplement the Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto of which the Initial Purchasers shall not previously have been advised and furnished a copy for a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed amendment or supplement and as to which the Initial Purchasers shall not have given their consent.

(b) The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers in qualifying the Securities for offering and sale in each jurisdiction as the Initial Purchasers shall designate including, but not limited to, pursuant to applicable Blue Sky laws of certain states of the United States of America or other U.S. jurisdictions, and the Company shall maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be necessary in order to complete the placement of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obliged to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as

a foreign corporation or as a securities dealer in any jurisdiction or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(c) If, at any time prior to the completion of the distribution by the Initial Purchasers of the Securities or the Private Exchange Notes, any event occurs or information becomes known as a result of which the Memorandum as then amended or supplemented would include any 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, or if for any other reason it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Memorandum to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly notify the Initial Purchasers thereof and will promptly, at its own expense, prepare, an amendment or supplement to the Memorandum that corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance.

(d) The Company will, without charge, provide to the Initial Purchasers and to counsel for the Initial Purchasers as many copies of the Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.

(e) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as set forth under "Use of Proceeds" in the Memorandum.

(f) None of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any "security" (as defined in the Act) that could be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration under the Act of the Securities.

(g) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) in connection with the offering of the Securities or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act.

(h) For so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will make available at its expense, upon request, to any holder of such Securities and any prospective purchasers thereof the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act, unless the Company is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(i) The Company will use its best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(j) In connection with Securities offered and sold in an off shore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) the Company will not register any transfer of such Securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S and will not, except in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, if applicable, issue any such Securities in the form of definitive securities.

(k) During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Business Day immediately following the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors will not, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchasers, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, enter into any agreement to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any securities of the same class or series or ranking on a parity with any Securities (other than the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or the guarantees thereon) or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Securities.

(l) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates will engage in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in Regulation S) with respect to the Securities.

(m) For a period of two years (calculated in accordance with paragraphs (d) of Rule 144 under the Act) following the date any Securities are acquired from the Company or any of its Affiliates, none of the Company or any of its Affiliates will resell any such Securities acquired by any of them.

The Company shall bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11 or 12 hereof, including: (i) fees and expenses of preparation, issuance and delivery of the Offering Agreements; (ii) the fees and expenses of the counsel, accountants and any other experts or advisors retained by the Company or the Guarantors; (iii) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the printing and distribution of the Memorandum and any amendment or supplement thereto and the printing and production of all other documents with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including this Agreement and any other related agreements); (iv) expenses related to the qualification of the Securities under the state securities or Blue Sky laws, including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky memoranda; (v) all arrangements relating to the preparation, issuance and delivery to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities; (vi) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee; and (viii) the costs and expenses of the "roadshow" and any other meetings with prospective investors in the Securities (other than as shall have been specifically approved by the Initial Purchasers to be paid for by the Initial Purchasers).

Section 7. Conditions of the Initial Purchasers' Obligations. The obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Securities shall be subject, in the Initial Purchasers' sole discretion, to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained herein as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date, as if made on and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company's and the Guarantors' officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their covenants and agreements hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

Section 8. Representations and Warranties of the Initial Purchasers.

(a) Each of the Initial Purchasers agrees (as to itself only) with the Company and the Guarantors that (i) it has not solicited and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act; and (ii) it has solicited and will solicit offers for the Securities only from, and will offer the Securities only to (A) in the case of offers inside the United States, persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Act ("QIBs") or, if any such person is buying for one or more institutional accounts for which such person is acting as fiduciary or agent, only when such person has

represented to the Initial Purchasers that each such account is a QIB, to whom notice has been given that such sale or delivery is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and, in each case, in transactions under Rule 144A and (B) in the case of offers outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons ("non-U.S. purchasers," which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting on a discretionary basis for non-U.S. beneficial owners (other than an estate or trust)); provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (B), in purchasing such Securities such persons are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided under the caption "Notice to Investors" contained in the Final Memorandum (or, if the Final Memorandum is not in existence, in the most recent Memorandum).

(b) Each of the Initial Purchasers represents and warrants (as to itself only) with respect to offers and sales outside the United States that (i) it has and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes any Memorandum or any such other material, in all cases at its own expense; (ii) the Securities have not been and will not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act; and (iii) it has offered the Securities and will offer and sell the Securities (A) as part of its distribution at any time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S and, accordingly, neither it nor any persons acting on its behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and any such persons have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.

(c) Each Initial Purchaser represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that it is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Act.

Terms used in this Section 8 and not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given to them in Regulation S.

Section 9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers, their respective partners, directors and officers, and any person who controls each Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which any of the Initial Purchasers or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in such Memorandum or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information concerning the Initial Purchasers furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers to the Company expressly for use in such Memorandum or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such Memorandum or necessary to make such information not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made by the Company or the Guarantors in Section 2 hereof or the failure by the Company or the Guarantors to perform when and as required any agreement or covenant contained herein, or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any

material fact contained in any written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors in connection with the marketing of the Securities, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable to the Initial Purchasers with respect to any Memorandum to the extent that the Company and the Guarantors shall sustain the burden of proving that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from the fact that any Initial Purchaser, in contravention of a requirement of this Agreement or applicable law, sold Securities, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes to a person to whom such Initial Purchaser failed to send or give, at or prior to the time of purchase, a copy of the Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented if: (i) the Company has previously furnished copies thereof (sufficiently in advance of the time of purchase to allow for distribution by the time of purchase) to such Initial Purchaser and the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense of the Initial Purchaser resulted from an untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in or omitted from a prior version of such Memorandum which was corrected in the Memorandum as amended or supplemented prior to the time of purchase and such amended or supplemented Memorandum was required by law to be delivered at or prior to the written confirmation of sale to such person and (ii) delivery of such amended or supplemented Memorandum by the time of purchase to the party or parties asserting such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would have constituted the sole defense to the claim asserted by such person.

If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a "Proceeding") is brought against any Initial Purchaser or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Initial Purchaser or such person shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Company shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company with respect to any indemnity which may be sought hereunder to the extent the Company is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. The Initial Purchaser or such person 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 Initial Purchaser or of such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the Company shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with the written consent of the Company, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. 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 the second sentence of this paragraph, 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 60 Business Days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not

have fully 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 30 days' prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and their respective directors and officers and any person who controls the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which 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, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information concerning such Initial Purchaser furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in any Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in such Memorandum or necessary to make such information not misleading.

If any Proceeding is brought against the Company, the Guarantors or any such person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Initial Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Company, the Guarantors or such person shall promptly notify such Initial Purchaser in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and the Initial Purchaser shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify the Initial Purchaser shall not relieve the Initial Purchaser with respect to any indemnity which may be sought hereunder to the extent the Initial Purchaser is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. The Company, the Guarantors or such person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, the Guarantors or such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Initial Purchaser in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the Initial Purchaser shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or 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 or in conflict with those available to the Initial Purchaser (in which case the Initial Purchaser shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties, but the Initial Purchaser may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Initial Purchaser), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Initial Purchaser and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that the Initial Purchaser shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such

Proceeding). The Initial Purchaser shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without the written consent of the Initial Purchaser but if settled with the written consent of the Initial Purchaser, the Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and any such person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. 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 the second sentence of this paragraph, 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 60 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 30 days' prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (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 Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, 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 shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand or by any Initial Purchaser on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding. The Initial Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this paragraph (c) are several and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (c), each partner, director and officer of the Initial Purchasers and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

(d) The Company and the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total offering price of the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim, and 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.

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, agreements, warranties and representations of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors or officers, and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, their respective partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Securities. The Company and the Guarantors and each of the Initial Purchasers agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company or the Guarantors, against any of the Company's officers or directors, as the case may be, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, or in connection with any Memorandum.

Section 10. Termination.

(a) The obligations of the Initial Purchasers shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Initial Purchasers, if (i) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Memorandum, there has been any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operation of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which would, in the Initial Purchasers' judgment make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Memorandum, (ii) there shall have occurred: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market; (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company's securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (D) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (E) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E) in the Initial Purchasers' judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Memorandum, or (iii) there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of (x) any intended or potential downgrading or (y) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement, in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as that term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act.

If the Initial Purchasers elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10, the Company shall be notified promptly in writing.

If the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Initial Purchasers for any reason permitted under this Agreement or if such sale is not carried out because the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, to the extent applicable, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 6 and 12 hereof), and the Initial Purchasers shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company and the Guarantors under this Agreement or to one another hereunder.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 6 hereof, and provided further that Sections 2 and 9 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

Section 11. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchasers hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the total aggregate amount of Notes set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 12, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the nondefaulting Initial Purchasers shall determine in order that the required changes in the Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

Section 12. Reimbursement of Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Sections 7, 10(a)(i), 10(a)(ii)(B) and 10(a)(iii) hereof are not satisfied or because of any termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof (other than by reason of a default by the Initial Purchasers), the Company shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

Section 13. Information Supplied by Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the last paragraph on the front cover page and in the third sentence of the fifth paragraph and the sixth paragraph under the heading "Plan of Distribution" in any Memorandum (to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchasers) constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Company for the purposes of Section 2(a) and Section 9 hereof.

Section 14. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers, shall be mailed or delivered to Deutsche Bank Securities, 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxx, with a copy to General Counsel; UBS Securities LLC, 000 Xxxx

Section 15. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company, the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained; this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person except that (i) the indemnities of the Company and the Guarantors contained in Section 9 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of any partner, director or officer of the Initial Purchasers and any person or persons who control the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 9 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors of the Company, its officers and any person or persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No purchaser of Securities from the Initial Purchasers will be deemed a successor because of such purchase.

Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 18. Miscellaneous. The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect, the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 19. Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
