Ladies and Gentlemen:

Constellation Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), by this agreement (this “Agreement”) proposes to issue and sell to Banc of America Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Initial Purchasers”) $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.25% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). The Notes will initially be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) by each of the subsidiaries of the Company listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”). The Securities are to be issued under an indenture to be dated May 14, 2007 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company and the Guarantors have prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated May 8, 2007 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and have prepared a pricing supplement, dated May 9, 2007 (the “Pricing Supplement”) and attached as Exhibit A hereto, describing the terms of the Securities, each for the information of the Initial Purchasers and for delivery to prospective purchasers of the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are

herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package”. Promptly after the time this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Time of Execution”), the Company will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”). Any reference to the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any Rule 144A(d)(4) Information (as defined in Section 5(l) of this Agreement) furnished by the Issuers prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities.

The purchasers of the Securities and their direct and indirect transferees will be entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) and to be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex IV (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will file one or more registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) registering with the Commission the Securities or the Exchange Securities referred to (and as defined) in such Registration Rights Agreement.

The Issuers hereby agree with the Initial Purchasers as follows:

1. The Issuers hereby agree to issue and sell the Securities to the Initial Purchasers as hereinafter provided, and each Initial Purchaser, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees to purchase from the Issuers the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth across such Initial Purchaser’s name on Schedule I hereto at the purchase price set forth on such Schedule plus accrued interest, if any, from the date specified in Schedule I hereto to the date of payment and delivery.

2. The Issuers further understand that the Initial Purchasers intend to (i) privately offer the Securities as soon after this Agreement has become effective as in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers is advisable and (ii) initially offer the Securities upon the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(aa) No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

Any certificate signed by an officer of any of the Issuers and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or to counsel for the Initial Purchasers at or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to any section of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Issuer, to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters covered thereby.

5. Each of the Issuers covenants and agrees with the Initial Purchasers:

(a) to furnish copies of the Final Offering Memorandum to the Initial Purchasers and to such dealers as the Initial Purchasers shall specify in New York City as soon as practicable (but in any event in sufficient time as to allow the Initial Purchasers and such dealers to deliver such Final Offering Memorandum prior to or simultaneously with confirmations of sale) after the date of this Agreement in such quantities as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request;

(p) that none of the Issuers, any of their respective affiliates (as defined in Regulation 501(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Issuers or such affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities and the Company and each Guarantor will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that their offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the Securities Act with the offerings contemplated hereby;

6. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Issuers contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Issuers of their obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) XxXxxxxxx, Will & Xxxxx LLP, special counsel for the Company, shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers its written opinion addressed to the Initial Purchasers, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of Annex I hereto.

(b) Xxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Issuers, shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers its written opinion addressed to the Initial Purchasers, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of Annex II hereto.

(c) DLA Piper US LLP, local counsel for one of the Guarantors, shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers its written opinion addressed to the Initial Purchasers, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of Annex III hereto.

(d) The Initial Purchasers shall have received from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Indenture, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Issuers shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

-18-

(e) The Company shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers a certificate of the Company, signed by the Company’s Treasurer or another officer of the Company with specific knowledge about the Company’s financial and operational matters reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signer of such certificate has carefully examined the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum and any supplements or amendments thereto used in connection with the offering of the Securities, and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of each of the Issuers in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Issuers have complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and

(ii) since February 28, 2007, there shall not have occurred any event that would have a Material Adverse Effect or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(f) The Issuers shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP to have furnished to the Initial Purchasers, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to the Initial Purchasers), dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Issuers and their subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering

-19-

or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Issuers shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers such further information, certificates and documents as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, this Agreement and all obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Initial Purchasers. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, on the Closing Date.

7. The Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its officers and directors, each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser and each affiliate of any Initial Purchaser which assists such Initial Purchaser in the distribution of the Securities, within the meaning of either 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, the legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except with respect to the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication and the Final Offering Memorandum, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Initial Purchasers’ Information.

-20-

Each Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers, its directors, its officers and each person who controls such Issuer within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities which are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Initial Purchasers’ Information (as defined below) provided by such Initial Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Initial Purchasers’ Information” consists of the following: in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Plan of Distribution”: (x) the list of Initial Purchasers and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities and (y) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum or any Issuer Written Communication.

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 indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person or persons against whom such indemnity may be sought (each an “Indemnifying Person”) in writing, and such Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified 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 counsel related to such proceeding. 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) such Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) such Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnifying Person and an Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that an Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings 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 any Initial Purchaser, each affiliate of any Initial Purchaser which assists such Initial Purchaser in the distribution of the Securities and such control persons of any Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing

-21-

by the Initial Purchasers, and any such separate firm for the Issuers, their respective directors, their respective officers and such control persons of any of the Issuers 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, such 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 prior 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 indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 7 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 (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers 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 Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering and sale of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total underwriting commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 Issuers, on the one hand, or by the Initial Purchasers on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

Each of the Issuers and each of the Initial Purchasers agrees 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 the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the

-22-

limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no case shall any Initial Purchaser (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Initial Purchasers relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. 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.

The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Issuers, their respective officers or directors or any other person controlling any of the Issuers and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

8. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Initial Purchasers, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Initial Purchasers, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

9. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Time of Execution.

10. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchasers, because of any failure or refusal on the part of any of the Issuers to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any of the Issuers shall be unable to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Initial Purchasers’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to promptly

-23-

reimburse the Initial Purchasers or such Initial Purchasers that have terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) incurred by such Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial Purchasers shall be given, c/o Banc of America Securities LLC (Facsimile: (000) 000-0000), Attention: Legal Department, with a copy to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (Facsimile: (000) 000-0000), Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Esq. Notices to the Company shall be given c/o the Company at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (Facsimile: (000) 000-0000), Attention: General Counsel, with a copy to XxXxxxxxx, Will & Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000 (Facsimile: (000) 000-0000), Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Esq.

12. The Issuers hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers and any affiliate through which any of them may be acting, on the other, (b) the Initial Purchasers are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Issuers and (c) the Issuers’ engagement of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Issuers agree that they are solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Initial Purchasers has advised or is currently advising the Issuers on related or other matters). The Issuers agree that they will not claim that the Initial Purchasers have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuers, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

13. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company, the Guarantors and any controlling person referred to herein and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Securities from the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

14. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

15. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF.

-24-

16. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority or agency or, to our knowledge, any court or similar body is required under the laws of the United States, the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents, the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes by the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, except such as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as to which no opinion is required).

(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes by the Company and the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities in the manner described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds” do not (A) violate the charter and by-laws of the Company, (B) violate, constitute a breach of or a default by the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument listed on Exhibit I hereto, (C) contravene the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any statute, rule or regulation under the laws of the United States and the State of New York applicable to the Company or any of its properties which in such counsel’s experience is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or (D) to the knowledge of such counsel, violate any judgment, decree or order of any court or governmental agency or court or body applicable to the Company or any of its properties.

(iv) The Transaction Documents, the Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes have been duly authorized by the Company. The Transaction Documents and the Guarantees have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Guarantors, as applicable. The sale and the issuance of the Notes, and the execution and delivery thereof, have been duly authorized by requisite corporate action of the Company. The Securities have been duly delivered to the Initial Purchasers by the Company and the Guarantors.

(v) The Indenture is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). When the Notes and the Guarantees have been authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees will be valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

The Registration Rights Agreement conforms in all material respects to the description thereof in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Exchange Offer; Registration Rights.”

(viii) Based upon the representations and warranties made by the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers in the Agreement, the offer and sale of the securities by the Issuers and the initial resale of such Securities by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with Section 2 of the Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to the Securities, the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the TIA, in each case assuming (i) that the purchasers who buy the Securities in the initial resales are qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or non-U.S. Persons (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) and (ii) the accuracy of the Initial Purchasers’ representations and agreements and those of the Company and the Guarantors contained in the Agreement regarding the absence of a general solicitation in
