On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Dealer Managers hereby accept such appointment upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Except as required by applicable law, the use of any reference to either of the Dealer Managers in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other Exchange Offer Materials or any other document or communication prepared, approved or authorized by the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer is subject to such Dealer Manager’s prior approval; provided that if such reference to either of the Dealer Managers is required by applicable law, the Company shall notify such Dealer Manager within a reasonable time prior to such use but the Company is nonetheless permitted to use such reference.

(n) Book-Entry Transfer. On or prior to the Commencement Date, the Company will make appropriate arrangements with DTC to allow for the book-entry transfer of tendered Old Securities between depository participants and the Exchange Agent.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Dealer Managers. The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and not severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Dealer Manager and its affiliates, and the directors, officers, agents, and employees of each Dealer Manager and its respective affiliates and each other entity or person, if any, controlling either of the Dealer Managers or any such affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each of the Dealer Managers and each such entity or person being referred to as a “Dealer Manager Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), and to reimburse each of the Dealer Managers and any other Dealer Manager Indemnitee for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by either of the Dealer Managers or any such other Dealer Manager Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing, or defending any such action, claim, or proceeding, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation to which either of the Dealer Managers (or any other Dealer Manager Indemnitee), the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective security holders is a party, in each case as such expenses are incurred or paid, (i) arising out of or based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Offer Material (when considered with all other Exchange Offer Materials), or any omission or alleged omission to state in any Exchange Offer Material a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made in the case of any Exchange Offer Materials (when considered with all other Exchange Offer Materials) other than the Registration Statement, not misleading, or (B) any withdrawal, termination, rescission or modification by the Company or any Guarantor of, or failure by the Company or any Guarantor to make or consummate, the Exchange Offer or to acquire any Old Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer or (C) any breach by the Company or any Guarantor of any representation or warranty or failure to comply with any of the agreements contained herein, or (ii) otherwise, in any way, arising out of, relating to or in connection with or alleged to, in any way, arise out of, relate to or be in connection with the Exchange Offer, this Agreement or either of the Dealer Managers’ role in connection therewith; except in the case of clause (ii) above for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense that is determined by final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Dealer Manager Indemnitee and except in the case of clauses (i)(A) and (B) above for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense which arises out of or is based upon (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Offer Material, or (B) any omission to state in the Exchange Offer Material a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are

made, not misleading, if in any such case such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or any Guarantor might otherwise have to the Dealer Managers and such other Dealer Manager Indemnitees.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Dealer Managers agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors, their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls 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 either of the Dealer Managers furnished to the Company in writing by such Dealer Manager through the Representative for use in the Exchange Offer Materials, it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished through the Representative by the Dealer Managers is the Dealer Manager Information.

(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 paragraph (a) or (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 paragraph (a) or (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, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such 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. It is understood and agreed that the 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 paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Dealer Manager, its respective affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Dealer Manager shall be designated in writing by the Representative and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors, their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls any Guarantor shall be designated in writing by the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph (c), the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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 (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and by the Dealer Managers, on the other, from the Exchange Offer or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Dealer Managers, on the other, in connection with the statements, actions 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 Company and Guarantors, on the one hand, and by the Dealer Managers on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate principal amount of New Securities issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer bears to the fees actually received by the Dealer Managers pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Dealer Managers, on the other, (i) in the case of

an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, any Guarantor or by the Dealer Managers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and (ii) in the case of any other action or omission, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such action or omission was taken or omitted to be taken by the Company, any Guarantor or by the Dealer Managers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to prevent such action or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Guarantors and the Dealer Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in 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 9, in no event shall a Dealer Manager be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the fees actually received by such Dealer Manager pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof exceed the amount of any damages that such Dealer Manager has otherwise been required to pay in connection with its role as a Dealer Manager pursuant to this Agreement. 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 9 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.

10. Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 hereof and the covenants, representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any failure to commence, or the withdrawal, termination or consummation of, the Exchange Offer or the termination or assignment of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person, (c) any withdrawal or termination by the Dealer Managers pursuant to Section 13(b) hereof or otherwise and (d) the issuance and delivery of the New Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

11. Dealer Manager Information. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the following information set forth in the Exchange Offer Materials constitutes the Dealer Manager Information: the second, third and fourth sentences of the third paragraph under the caption “The Dealer Managers” in the Prospectus.

12. Confidentiality. Any advice or opinions provided by either of the Dealer Managers in connection with or related to this Agreement shall not be disclosed to any third party or referred

to publicly by the Company or any Guarantor without such Dealer Manager’s prior written consent except (a)(i) to such Dealer Manager’s officers, directors and employees (such employees being those who are involved in this matter on a need to know basis), (ii) to such Dealer Manager’s legal advisors who are involved in this matter on a need to know basis provided they have been made aware of the confidential nature of such information, and (iii) to such Dealer Manager’s accountants and other advisors who are involved in this matter on a need to know basis provided they have been made aware of the confidential nature of such information and do not rely on such information, or (b) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law.

13. Termination.

(a) The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Settlement Date, if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the earlier of the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, a material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the business, properties, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the Representative’s reasonable judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Exchange Offer in the manner described in the Exchange Offer Materials.

(b) In addition, if (i) the Company uses or permits the use of, or files with the Commission or any Other Agency, any Exchange Offer Materials (A) that have not been submitted to the Representative for its comments or (B) that have been so submitted and with respect to which the Representative has made comments, but which comments have not resulted in a response satisfactory to it and its counsel to reflect its comments, (ii) the Company or any Guarantor has breached any of its representations, warranties, agreements or covenants herein, or failed to fulfill any condition set forth in Section 8 hereof, (iii) there is a good faith disagreement between the Representative and the Company or any Guarantor with respect to a material term or condition of the Exchange Offer or the Exchange Offer Materials, (iv) the Exchange Offer is terminated or withdrawn for any reason or any stop order, restraining order, injunction or denial of an application for approval has been issued and not thereafter stayed or vacated with respect to the exchange of the Old Securities pursuant thereto or the performance of this Agreement, or any proceeding, litigation or investigation has been initiated that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s and any Guarantor’s ability to carry out the Exchange Offer or (v) a statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by the Commission or any Other Agency that would prevent the making or consummation of the Exchange Offer or prevent the Dealer Managers from rendering their services pursuant to this Agreement or continuing so to act, as the case may be, then, in any such case, the Dealer Managers shall be entitled to withdraw as a Dealer Manager in connection with the Exchange Offer by written notice to the Company without any liability or penalty to the Dealer Managers or any other Dealer Manager Indemnitee (as defined in Section 9 hereof). The Company shall make any appropriate revision to the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus to reflect such withdrawal or termination under this Section 13.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Representative or either of the Dealer Managers withdraw as a Dealer Manager, pursuant to this Section 13, such termination or withdrawal shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 3 hereof, and except that Sections 1(b), 1(c), 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

(d) If either of the Dealer Managers withdraws as a Dealer Manager or the Representative terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13(b) hereof, the Company agrees to pay to the Dealer Managers the fees accrued through the date of such termination or withdrawal, promptly after the Expiration Date. In the event of any such withdrawal, for the purpose of determining the fees payable to the Dealer Managers pursuant to this Agreement, the amount of Old Securities tendered as of the close of business on the date of such termination that are thereafter exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer, shall be deemed to have been exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, as of the date of such withdrawal.

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (d) the term “significant subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

15. Miscellaneous.

(a) Severability. In the event that any provision hereof shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not affect such provision in any other respect or any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

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

(c) Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement, including any right to indemnity or contribution hereunder, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, the Guarantors, the Dealer Managers and the other Indemnified Persons, and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to give to any other person or entity any right hereunder or by virtue hereof.

(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such state.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
