(a) The Issuers and each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers from and against any losses, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchasers may become subject, under the Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Supplement, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each of the Purchasers for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchasers in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, damage, liability or action or claim, including, without limitation, any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party, as such expenses are incurred (including such losses, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any such action or claim, provided that (subject to Section 10(c) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Issuers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Issuers and Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Supplement, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Purchasers furnished to the Issuers by any Purchaser through Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC expressly for use in the preparation thereof which information is specified in Section 22.
(b) Each of the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and the Guarantors from and against any losses, damages or liabilities to which the Issuers or the Guarantors may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Supplement, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Supplement, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Purchasers furnished to the Issuers by such Purchaser though Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, expressly for use in the preparation thereof (as provided in Section 22 hereof, and will reimburse the Issuers and the Guarantors for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Issuers and the Guarantors in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred (including such losses, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in the settlement of such action or claim, provided that (subject to Section 10(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof, notify each such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability it may have under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses by such failure), and such failure shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability it may have to any such indemnified party otherwise than under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any such indemnified party and it shall notify each indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, each such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party under Section 10(a)
13
or 10(b) hereof similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of such indemnified party, be counsel to such indemnifying party), and, after notice from such indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party has been authorized by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in the conduct of the defense, or certain aspects of the defense, of such action (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action with respect to those matters or aspects of the defense on which a conflict exists or may exist on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not in fact have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to assume the defense of such action, in any of which events such fees and expenses to the extent applicable shall be borne, and shall be paid as incurred, by the indemnifying party. If at any time such indemnified party shall have requested such indemnifying party under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof to reimburse such indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel and such reimbursement is required hereunder, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of such request for reimbursement and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request for reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No such indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless (i) such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (ii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any such indemnified party and (iii) such indemnified party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 45 days prior to such settlement being entered into.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to indemnify or hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof in respect of any losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Purchasers on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 10(c) hereof and such indemnifying party was prejudiced in a material respect by such failure, then each such indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault, as applicable, of the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by, as applicable, the Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers. The relative fault, as applicable, of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand and the Purchasers, 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 Issuers and the Guarantors on the one hand, or the Purchasers on the other hand and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Issuers and the Guarantors and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10(d). The amount paid or payable by such an indemnified party as a result of the losses, damages or liabilities (or
14
actions or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 10(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased by it and distributed to the investors were offered to the investors exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser 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 Purchasers obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability that the Issuers and the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director, employee, agent or other representative of each Purchaser and to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of each of the Purchasers under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director, employee, agent or other representative of the Issuers and to each person who controls the Issuers and the Guarantors within the meaning of the Act.
11. (a) If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Issuers shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties reasonably satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Issuers that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Issuers notify you that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Issuers shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Memorandum, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Issuers agree to prepare promptly any amendments to the Offering Memorandum which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term Purchaser as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Issuers as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Issuers shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Issuers as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Issuers shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Issuers, except for the expenses to be borne by the Issuers and the Purchasers as provided in Section 8 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 10 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.
15
12. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuers, the Guarantors and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, or the Issuers or any Guarantor, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Issuers or a Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if for any reason (other than a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 hereof) the Securities and the Guarantees are not delivered by or on behalf of the Issuers as provided herein, the Issuers will reimburse the Purchasers through you for all out-of-pocket fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the offering of the Securities, including, but not limited to, the fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel, expenses incurred in connection with their due diligence investigation, consultants fees and travel expenses, but the Issuers shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof.
14. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Purchaser made or given by you jointly or by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC on behalf of you as the representative.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the Representatives in care of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, One Wachovia Center, 301 South College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288, Attention: High Yield Capital Markets, with a copy to James J.

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
15. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchasers, the Issuers and the Guarantors and, to the extent provided in Sections 10 and 12 hereof, the officers and directors of the Issuers and the Guarantors and each person who controls the Issuers, any Guarantor or any Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
16. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
17. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
18. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
19. The Issuers and the Guarantors are authorized, subject to applicable law, to disclose any and all aspects of this potential transaction that are necessary to support any U.S. federal income tax benefits expected to be claimed with respect to such transaction, and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) related to those benefits, without the Purchasers imposing any limitation of any kind.
20. The Issuers and the Guarantors acknowledge that the Purchasers research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Purchasers research analysts may hold and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and its affiliates and/or the offering that differ from the views of its investment bankers. The Issuers and the Guarantors hereby waive and
16
release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Issuers and the Guarantors may have against the Purchasers with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Issuers by such Purchasers investment banking divisions.
