(a) Each Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership (and where such partnership is not a separate legal entity from the partners thereof, the general or managing partner thereof), duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation.
- 22 -
(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.
(c) Each Purchaser is acquiring the Notes for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by it or for the account of one or more pension or trust funds of which it is trustee, in each case, for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribution thereof, in whole or in part. If the Notes are acquired for the account of one or more pension or trust funds, each Purchaser represents that it is acting as sole trustee and has sole investment discretion with respect to its acquisition of the Notes and that the determination and decision on its behalf to acquire the Notes for such pension or trust funds is being made by the same individual or group of individuals who customarily pass on such investments, provided that for a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Notes pursuant to this Agreement. Each Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act that depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.
(d) Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company is not acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to such Purchaser; (ii) the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives do not make, have not made nor shall be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to such Purchaser, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to projections, estimates, forecasts or plans, except, with respect to the Company, as expressly set forth herein; (iii) such Purchaser has consulted with such Purchaser’s own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, actuarial, financial and accounting advisers to the extent the Purchaser has deemed necessary, and each Purchaser has made such Purchaser’s own decisions with respect to entering into this Agreement based upon such Purchaser’s own judgment and upon any advice from such advisers such Purchaser has deemed necessary; and (iv) such Purchaser is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing, and other considerations relating to, the Notes to be purchased by the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. No Purchaser is relying on the Company or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, counsel, agents or representatives for legal or tax advice. Each Purchaser understands that no U.S. or non-U.S. federal or state agency has recommended or endorsed the purchase of Notes or made any determination or finding as to the fairness of the provisions of this Agreement.
- 23 -
(e) Each Purchaser understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Company that would permit a public offering of the Notes in the United States or any offer of the Notes to the public in any Member State of the European Economic Area, or possession or distribution of any offering or publicity material relating to the Notes, in any other country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.
(f) Each Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred except in accordance with Rule 144A or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(g) Each Purchaser represents that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” as such term is defined in Rule 144A. All information set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto and Annex A hereto is true, accurate and complete in all respects.
(h) Each Purchaser agrees to purchase the Notes for its own account (or accounts managed by it) without a view to distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act and agrees not to reoffer or resell the Notes except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement thereunder and in any case in compliance to the satisfaction of the Company with all applicable U.S. state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.
(i) Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has had the opportunity to review the Company’s SEC Reports, (ii) has been provided an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes with the Company’s management, and (iii) has obtained any and all additional information requested by such Purchaser, its representatives and agents of the Company and its representatives to verify the accuracy of all information furnished to such Purchaser regarding the offering of the Notes. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 1 of this Agreement or the right of each Purchaser to rely thereon.
(j) Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has not relied upon any person, other than the Company, in connection with its decision to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth on the signature page to this Agreement.
(k) Neither the Purchasers nor any of their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Purchaser Entities”) or, to the knowledge of any Purchaser or any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative of the Purchaser Entity, is a person that is, or is owned or controlled by a person that is:
(A) the subject of any Sanctions, nor
(B) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions (including, without limitation, Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria).
- 24 -
(l) There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchasers, threatened against the Purchasers, which is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the ability of the Purchasers to perform its obligations hereunder.

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Agreements represent the entire agreement between the Company and the Purchasers with respect to the purchase and sale of the Notes. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. No modification, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the party to be charged, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
