Dear Sirs:
          Allied Waste North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and the other financial institutions listed in Schedule C hereto (each, an “Underwriter” and, collectively, the “Underwriters”) $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Notes are to be issued pursuant to a Series Supplement (the “Supplement”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), to an indenture (together with the Supplement, the “Indenture”), dated December 23, 1998, among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”).
          The Notes will be guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Allied Waste Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Allied”), and each of the entities listed on Schedule A hereto (each, including Allied, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”).
          The Notes will be secured by a first priority lien on: (i) all of the capital stock of Browning-Ferris Industries, LLC’s (“BFI”) domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Domestic Pledged Stock”); (ii) 65% of the capital stock of BFI’s foreign Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Foreign Pledged Stock”), (iii) all tangible and intangible assets (other than real property) currently owned by BFI and substantially all of BFI’s domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, and (iv) certain tangible and intangible assets of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allied (collectively, the “Assets” and, along with the Domestic Pledged Stock and the Foreign Pledged Stock, the “Collateral”). BFI and its subsidiaries that own the Collateral (the “Grantor Subsidiaries”) entered into a Shared Collateral Pledge Agreement, dated July 30, 1999 and amended and restated as of April 29, 2003, among the Company, BFI, the Grantor Subsidiaries

The Shared Collateral Agreements provide for the grant by BFI and its subsidiaries that own the Collateral to the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes of a pledge of, or a security interest in, as the case may be, the Collateral.
          The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-135092), including a prospectus, relating to the Notes, which incorporates by reference documents which the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”).

The Global Notes shall be made available to the Underwriters for inspection not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.
3. Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors.
          Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Underwriters as follows:
          (a) To file the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act not later than the Commission’s close of business on the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required under the Act), in the form furnished by the Company to the Underwriters for use by the Underwriters and by dealers in connection with the offering of the Notes.
          (b) To advise the Underwriters promptly and, if requested by the Underwriters, confirm such advice in writing, (i) of the issuance by any state securities commission of any stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction designated by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, or the initiation of any proceeding by any state securities commission or any other federal or state regulatory authority for such purpose and (ii) of the happening of any event within the period during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule) in connection with any sale of Notes, which event makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus untrue or that requires any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes under any state securities or Blue Sky laws and, if at any time any state securities commission or other federal or state regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes under any state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.
          (c) To furnish the Underwriters, and those persons identified by the Underwriters to the Company, as many copies of the Prospectus (or of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have made any amendments or supplements thereto after the effective date of the Registration Statement) as the Underwriters may from time

The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus, and any amendments and supplements thereto required pursuant hereto, by the Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.
          (d) If it is necessary for any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be declared effective before the offering of the Notes may commence, the Company will endeavor to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible and the Company will advise the Underwriters promptly and, if requested by the Underwriters, will confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has become effective, and (ii) if Rule 430A under the Act is used, when the Prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (which the Company agrees to file in a timely manner in accordance with such Rules).

17


 

effective after the date of this Agreement) or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in, the Registration Statement or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Disclosure Package, any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 5 being deemed to include the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Company or any Guarantor or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, with respect to such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in, such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.
          (b) The Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and their respective directors and officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company or the Guarantors from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) which, jointly or severally, the Company, the Guarantors or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or judgment arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in, the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter to the Company expressly for use in, the Disclosure Package, any Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the

18


 

light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Notes and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (i) the fifth paragraph related to overallotment, stabilization and syndicate covering transactions and (ii) the last paragraph (describing the relationships between the Underwriters and the Company), in each of the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company), the Disclosure Package, any Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.
          (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 5(a) or 5(b) (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 5(a) and 5(b), the Underwriters shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 5(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Underwriters). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by UBS, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 5(a), and by the Company and the Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 5(b). The indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected without the indemnifying party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the

19


 

subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 45 days prior notice of its intention to settle.
          (d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 5(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 5(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (after discounts and commissions, but before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the total price to investors of the Notes, in each case, as set forth in this Agreement. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
          The Company, the Guarantors, and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action, that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which

20


 

the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriters has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Notes purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.
          (e) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
6. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations.
          The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Notes under this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
          (a) All the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on the Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date.
          (b) On or after the Applicable Time, (i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, suspension or withdrawal of, nor shall any notice have been given of any potential or intended downgrading, suspension or withdrawal of, or of any review (or of any potential or intended review) for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in, any rating of the Company or any Guarantor or any securities of the Company or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, the placing of any of the foregoing ratings on credit watch with negative or developing implications or under review with an uncertain direction) by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, (ii) there shall not have occurred any change, nor shall any notice have been given of any potential or intended negative change, in the outlook for any rating of the Company or any Guarantor or any securities of the Company or any Guarantor by any such rating organization and (iii) no such rating organization shall have given notice that it has assigned (or is considering assigning) a lower rating to the Notes than that on which the Notes were marketed.
          (c) The Registration Statement shall have remained effective under the Act. The Prospectus Supplement shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Agreement and no Prospectus or amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including documents deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, shall have been filed to which you object in writing.
          (d) Prior to the Closing Date, (i) no stop order with respect to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued under the Act or proceedings initiated under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Act; (ii) the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto shall

21


 

not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iii) none of the Basic Prospectus or the Prospectus, and no amendment or supplement thereto, shall include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; (iv) the Disclosure Package, and no amendment or supplement thereto, shall include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; (v) none of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, shall include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; (vi) there shall not have occurred any change or any development involving a prospective change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business, management or operations of Allied and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (vii) there shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the capital stock or in the long-term debt of Allied or any of its subsidiaries; and (viii) neither Allied nor any of its subsidiaries shall have incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause 6(d)(vi), 6(d)(vii) or 6(d)(viii), in your reasonable judgment, is material and adverse and, in your reasonable judgment, makes it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any.
          (e) You shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate dated the Closing Date, signed by the Chief Financial Officer and the Treasurer of the Company and each of the Guarantors, confirming the matters set forth in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) of this Agreement and stating that (i) they have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, and (ii) each of the Company and the Guarantors has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions herein contained and required to be complied with or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date.
          (f) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, including a 10b-5 statement (in each case reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date, of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, to the effect set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and an opinion (reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters) of Jo Lynn White, Esq., Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Corporate Secretary of the Company to the effect set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. In addition, you shall have received opinions (reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters), dated the Closing Date, of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (reasonably satisfactory to you and counsel for the Underwriters) as to such matters as you may reasonably request with respect to Guarantors organized outside the states of New York and Delaware which are identified as Significant Subsidiaries (within the meaning of Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Act) in an officer’s certificate addressed to you and dated the Closing Date.
          The opinions of Latham & Watkins LLP and Jo Lynn White, Esq. described in Section 6(f) above shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company and the Guarantors and shall so state therein.

22


 

          (g) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters.
          (h) The Underwriters shall have received, at the time this Agreement is executed and at the Closing Date, letters dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, containing the information and statements of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to the Underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained and incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

7. Effectiveness of Agreement and Termination.
          This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto.
          The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives of the Underwriters, since the time of the execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto) and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, (x) there has been any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the business, properties, management, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operation of Allied and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, which would, in UBS’s judgment, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectuses and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto) and the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or (y) there shall have occurred: (i) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Underwriters, including UBS, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes, (ii) the suspension or

23


 

material limitation of trading in securities or other instruments on the New York Stock Exchange, (iii) the suspension of trading of any securities of the Company or any Guarantor on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects, or will materially and adversely affect, the business, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Allied and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by either federal or New York State authorities, (vi) any change in United States or international financial, political or economic conditions as would, in the judgment or a majority in interest of the Underwriters, including UBS, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Notes, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market or (vii) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States.
          If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Notes which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, other than as a result of a failure by the Company and the Guarantors to meet the conditions set forth in Section 6 or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the immediately prior paragraph of this Section 7, and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, as the case may be, agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite its name in Schedule C bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which all the non-defaulting Underwriters, as the case may be, have agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as the non-defaulting Underwriters may specify, to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, as the case may be, agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 7 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of the Notes without the written consent of such Underwriter. If on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Notes and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased by all Underwriters and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Company for purchase of such the Notes are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company. In any such case which does not result in termination of this Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Prospectus or the Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of any such Underwriter under this Agreement.

8. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
          No proceeding related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Company hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Company hereby waives all right to trial by jury in any proceeding (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Company agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon itself and may be enforced in any other courts in the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
9. Miscellaneous.
          Notices given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be addressed as follows: (i) if to the Company or any Guarantor, to 18500 North Allied Way, Phoenix, AZ 85054, (480)  ###-###-####, Attention: Peter S. Hathaway and (ii) if to the Underwriters, c/o UBS Securities LLC, 299 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10171, Attention: Syndicate Department, or in any case to such other address as the person to be notified may have requested in writing.
          The respective indemnities, contribution agreements, representations and warranties of the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the officers, directors or affiliates of the Underwriters, any person controlling the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, any Guarantor, the officers who have signed the Registration Statement, directors of the Company or any Guarantor, or any person controlling the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) acceptance of the Notes and payment for them hereunder and (iii) termination of this Agreement.
          If for any reason the Notes are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein (other than as a result of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7), the Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall be liable for all expenses which they have agreed to pay pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof. The Company and each Guarantor also agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Underwriters and their officers, directors and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act for any and all reasonable fees and expenses (including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by them in connection with enforcing their rights under this Agreement (including without limitation its rights under Section 5).

25


 

          Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company, the Guarantors, the Underwriters, the Underwriters’ respective directors and officers, any controlling persons referred to herein, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, all as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” shall not include a purchaser of any of the Notes from the Underwriters merely because of such purchase.
          This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
          This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10. No Fiduciary Relationship.
          The Company and each Guarantor each hereby acknowledge that each Underwriter is acting solely as underwriter in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities. The Company and each Guarantor each further acknowledge that each Underwriter is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that any Underwriter acts or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company or any Guarantor, their respective management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that such Underwriter may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. Each Underwriter hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company or any Guarantor, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company and each Guarantor each hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. The Company, each Guarantor and each Underwriter agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by any Underwriter to the Company or any Guarantor regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Company’s securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Company or any Guarantor.
11. Additional Information.
          Each of the Underwriters is not a bank and is separate from any bank that may be affiliated thereto. Because each of the Underwriters is a separately incorporated entity, it is solely responsible for its own contractual obligations and commitments, including obligations with respect to sales and purchases of securities. Securities sold, offered or recommended by each of the Underwriters are not deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are not guaranteed by a branch or agency, and are not otherwise an obligation or responsibility of a branch or agency.
          Lending affiliates of any of the Underwriters may have lending relationships with issuers of securities underwritten or privately placed by such Underwriter. To the extent

26


 

required under the securities laws, prospectuses and other disclosure documents for securities underwritten or privately placed by such Underwriter will disclose the existence of any such lending relationships and whether the proceeds of the issue will be used to repay debts owed to affiliates of such Underwriters.
