Such registration statement, which became effective upon filing with the Commission, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A or 430B under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”) plus the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated November 5, 2010, to the Base Prospectus relating to the Securities at the time it was filed that omits Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the Base Prospectus plus the final prospectus supplement that includes the Rule 430 Information in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities.

Parent and the Subsidiaries have (i) good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and except such as are described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or such as do not (individually or in the aggregate) materially affect the value of such property or materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by Parent and the Subsidiaries and (ii) peaceful and undisturbed possession of any material real property and buildings held under lease or sublease by Parent and the Subsidiaries and such leased or subleased real property and buildings are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases and no default exists thereunder (including, to Parent’s knowledge, defaults by the landlord), with such exceptions as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of any claim adverse to its ownership of any real or personal property or of any claim against the continued possession of any real property, whether owned or held under lease or sublease by Parent or any Subsidiary, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(z) Title to Intellectual Property. Parent and each Subsidiary (i) owns or possesses right to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, domain names, trade names, trademark registrations, service xxxx registrations, copyrights, licenses, formulae, customer lists, and know-how and other intellectual property (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures, the “Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as presently being conducted and as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, except where the failure to own or possess would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) have no reason to believe that the conduct of their respective businesses does or will conflict with, and have not received any notice of any claim of conflict with, any such right of others (except (x) for such right, or claimed right pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2007, among the Company, as borrower, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and syndication agent, X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, as sole lead arranger and joint book runner, Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, as joint book runner and Banc of America Securities LLC, as joint book runner, as amended by the Amendment and Restatement and Resignation and Appointment Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2010, among the Company, as borrower, Parent and certain of the Subsidiaries named therein as guarantors, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities listed on the signature pages thereto as lenders, Bear Xxxxxxx Corporate Lending, Inc., as resigning administrative agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as successor administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”), or as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or (y) where such conflict with any such right of others would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, to Parent’s knowledge, there is no infringement by third parties of any Intellectual Property of Parent or any Subsidiary; except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the rights in or to any Intellectual Property of Parent or any Subsidiary; and except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that Parent or any Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of others.

(aa) Taxes. Parent and each Subsidiary has, in all material respects, accurately prepared and timely filed all federal, and all material state, foreign and other tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid or made provision (to the extent required by U.S. GAAP) for the payment of all taxes, assessments, governmental or other similar charges, including without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all taxes which Parent or any Subsidiary is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, with respect to the periods covered by such tax returns (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on any tax return). No material deficiency, assessment or other claim with respect to a proposed adjustment of Parent or any Subsidiary’s federal, state, local or foreign taxes is pending or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened. The accruals and reserves on the books and records of Parent and the Subsidiaries in respect of tax liabilities for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate in all material respects (in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to meet any assessments and related liabilities for any such period and, since December 31, 2009, Parent and the Subsidiaries have not incurred any material liability for taxes other than in the ordinary course of its business. There is no tax lien, whether imposed by any federal, state, foreign or other taxing authority, outstanding against the assets, properties or business of Parent or any Subsidiary, except such liens as would not reasonably be expected (individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(bb) Accounting Controls. Parent and the Subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act, have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, are effective and have been designed to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to material assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Parent is not aware of any existing material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there has been no change in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect, Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.

(cc) Disclosure Controls. Parent maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that have been designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent and its Subsidiaries is disclosed to Parent’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities and, as of December 31, 2009, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(dd) Property and Casualty Insurance. Parent maintains property and casualty insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as Parent reasonably considers adequate for the conduct of Parent and each Subsidiary’s businesses and the value of Parent’s and each Subsidiary’s properties and as is customary for publicly held companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, all of which property and casualty insurance is in full force and effect, except where the failure to maintain such property and casualty insurance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material claims by Parent or any Subsidiary under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. Parent reasonably believes that Parent and each Subsidiary will be able to renew their respective existing property and casualty insurance as and when such coverage expires or will be able to obtain replacement property and casualty insurance adequate for the conduct of the business and the value of its properties at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such property and casualty insurance.

(ee) Director and Officer Insurance. Parent has in effect insurance covering its directors and officers as is customary for similarly-sized publicly held companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries for liabilities or losses arising in connection with the Offering and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except where the failure to have such coverage would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ff) No Undisclosed Relationships. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, no relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among Parent, any Subsidiary or, to the Company’s knowledge, any affiliate of the Company, on the one hand, and any director, executive officer or, to the Company’s knowledge, security holder (or any immediate family member of such director, executive officer or security holder), of Parent, any Subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company, on the other hand, which is required by the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and that is not so described. There are no outstanding loans, advances (except normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness by the Company or Parent to or for the benefit of any of the executive officers or directors of the Company or Parent or any of their respective family members. Parent has not, in violation of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), directly or indirectly, including through a Subsidiary, extended or maintained credit, arranged for the extension of credit, or renewed an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of Parent.

(gg) Investment Company Act. Parent and each Subsidiary are not now and, after sale of the Notes as contemplated hereunder and application of the net proceeds of such sale as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” will not be, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and are not and will not be an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

(hh) No Registration Rights. Except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, no holder of any Relevant Security of Parent or any Subsidiary has any rights to require registration of any Relevant Security by reason of the execution by the Company or any of the Guarantors of this Agreement or any other Transaction 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, or as part or on account of, or otherwise in connection with the Offering and any of the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and any such rights so disclosed have been effectively waived by the holders thereof, and any such waivers remain in full force and effect.

(ii) No Stabilization or Manipulation. None of Parent, any Subsidiary, or any affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) has (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action which constitutes or is designed to cause or result in, or which could reasonably be expected to constitute, cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Parent or any Subsidiary to facilitate the sale or distribution of the Notes or (ii) since the date of the Preliminary Prospectus (A) sold, bid for, purchased or paid any person any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Notes or (B) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of Parent or any Subsidiary.

(jj) Financial Statements. The financial information and statements, including the notes thereto, and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus conform in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and present fairly the financial position as of the dates indicated and the cash flows and results of operations for the periods specified of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries in all material respects; except as otherwise stated in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved in all material respects; and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus present fairly the information required to be stated therein in all material respects.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, who have certified or will certify the financial statements and supporting schedules and information of Parent and its Subsidiaries included or to be included as part of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, is an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(ll) Statistical and Market Data. The statistical, industry-related and market-related data included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus are based on, or derived from, sources which the Company and the Guarantors reasonably and in good faith believe are reliable and accurate in all material respects, and such data agree with the sources from which they are derived in all material respects.

(oo) No Broker’s Fees. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between or among Parent and the Subsidiaries, and any other person that would give rise to a valid claim against Parent or any Subsidiary or the Underwriter for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the Offering.

None of Parent or any of the Subsidiaries is in default under any of the Transaction Documents or any of the contracts described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, has received a notice or claim of any such default or has knowledge of any breach of such contracts by the other party or parties thereto, except such defaults or breaches as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriter. The Company and each of the Guarantors agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and actual out-of-pocket legal fees and other reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use therein.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company and each of the Guarantors, (ii) each of their respective directors and officer who signed the Registration Statement and (iii) each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: the third and tenth paragraphs in the section entitled “Underwriting” in the Prospectus.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraphs (a) and (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraphs (a) and (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them, in which case in this clause (iv), the Indemnifying Person’s obligations shall be for reasonable and actual outside counsel fees and expenses. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of the Underwriter shall be designated in writing by X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, each of the Guarantors, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the Offering and also to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other 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, the Guarantors or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 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 paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall the Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Offering exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by written notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by Parent or any Subsidiaries shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States; or (v) other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, the occurrence of any change in the financial condition, business, properties, assets, prospects or results of operations of Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

10. [RESERVED].

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriter); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any outside counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the Offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 (other than clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of Section 9), (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriter or (iii) the Underwriter declines to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Underwriter for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its outside counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and the Offering.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriter contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriter. The respective representations, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 7 and 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

14. Certain Defined Terms.

(5) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of each Subsidiary are owned of record and beneficially, directly or indirectly, by Parent, free and clear of all Liens, other than as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and other than under the Credit Agreement, and are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid (in the case of limited partnership or limited liability company interests, to the extent required under the respective partnership or limited liability company agreements) and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be limited by the limited partnership or limited liability company statute of the jurisdiction of formation of such entity), and have not been issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights under (a) the applicable Subsidiary’s organizational documents or (b) the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

To such counsel’s knowledge, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of Parent or any Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of any Subsidiary.

Annex A-1-1

(6) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Guarantors, and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee) is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company and each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(7) The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company for issuance and sale to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and, when authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to the Underwriter against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Notes will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(8) The Guarantees of the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors for issuance to the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and, when the Notes have been issued by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to the Underwriter against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Guarantees of the Notes will be valid and legally binding obligations of each Guarantor, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, and enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(9) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Guarantors.

(10) Each Transaction Document conforms in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

Annex A-1-2

(11) The statements in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of notes,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of certain provisions of documents referred to therein and reviewed by such counsel, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects.

(12) The statements in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain United States federal income tax considerations,” insofar as such statements constitute matters of law or legal conclusions, accurately and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects.

(13) The (a) execution, delivery and performance by the Company and each of the Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which any of them is a party, and the performance by the Company and each of the Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder, (b) issuance and sale of the Notes and the issuance of the Guarantees and (c) consummation by the Company of the transactions described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of proceeds,” do not and will not (i) violate or result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, any of the agreements set forth on Exhibit A hereto, which agreements were identified to us in an officer’s certificate of the Company as all of the material agreements of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (ii) violate or conflict with the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, or operating agreement of Parent or any Subsidiary, any statute, rule or regulation applicable to Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, or, to such counsel’s knowledge, any of the judgments, orders or decrees of any court or judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body set forth on Exhibit B hereto, which judgments, orders or decrees were identified to us in an officer’s certificate of the Company as all of the material judgments, orders or decrees applicable to the Company and its Subsidiaries. No consent, approval, authorization or qualification of or with any federal or state court or governmental or administrative agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the Notes, the issue of the respective Guarantees, the execution and delivery by the Company and the Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which each is a party, the consummation by the Company and the Guarantors of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance by the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations thereunder, except for (x) such as have been or shall be obtained under the Securities Act or the Trust Indenture Act and (y) such as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities (as to which such counsel need express no opinion).

(14) To such counsel’s knowledge, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there is no judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental proceeding, action, suit, or investigation before or by any court, arbitrator or governmental agency, body or official, domestic or foreign, now pending to which Parent or any Subsidiary is a party or of which the business or property of Parent or any Subsidiary is the subject that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(15) Each of Parent and each of the Subsidiaries is not and, after giving effect to the Offering and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

Annex A-1-3

(16) The documents filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Parent prior to the Closing Date (other than the financial statements, financial statement footnotes and related schedules and other financial data included therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), each appears on its face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(17) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the Company as described in the Prospectus will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors.

In addition, such opinion shall also contain a statement that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and the Guarantors and the Underwriter and the Underwriter’s counsel at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed and that the purpose of such counsel’s professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus and that such counsel has not undertaken to verify independently any of the factual matters in such documents. Accordingly, such opinion shall state that such counsel is not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except as expressly provided above).

Form of Opinion of Paul, Hastings, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP

(1) The execution and delivery by the Company, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under and in accordance with the terms, of the Underwriting Agreement do not cause the Company to violate the Communications Laws and do not require any consent or approval of, or registration or filing with, or any other action by, the FCC.

(2) Each Subsidiary of the Company holds the FCC license or licenses identified on Attachment 1 hereto as being held by such Subsidiary (the “Licenses”). The Licenses are in full force and effect. The Licenses are not subject to any conditions other than those that: (a) appear on the Licenses; or (b) are imposed by the FCC in the ordinary course upon broadband PCS, Advanced Wireless Services, or 700 MHz band licenses of similar character.

(3) To our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, investigations, or other administrative proceedings pending or overtly threatened in writing by or before the FCC against the Company, its Subsidiaries, or the Licenses that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(4) To our knowledge, the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company have timely filed with the FCC all material applications and reports as are required under the Communications Laws where the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(5) The statements in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, as limited by the following documents which have been incorporated by reference: (1) the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, under the captions: “Regulation,” “Federal Regulation,” “Broadband Spectrum Allocations,” “License Term,” “Construction Obligations,” “Revocation of Licenses,” “Transfer and Assignment of FCC Licenses,” “Disaggregation, Partitioning and Spectrum Leasing,” “Spectrum and Market Concentration Limits,” “Foreign Ownership Restrictions,” “Designated Entity Requirements,” “General Regulatory Obligation,” “Other Federal Regulation,” “State, Local and Other Regulation,” and “Risks related to Legal and Regulatory Matters.”; (2) the Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010, under the caption: “Risk Factors”; (3) the Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2010, under the caption: “Risk Factors”; and (4) the Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2010, under the caption: “Risk Factors,” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of matters of law under the Communications Laws pertaining to the business of the Company, fairly summarize in all material respects such legal matters as of the date hereof.
