The Company will deliver against payment of the purchase price the Offered Securities in the form of permanent Global Securities in definitive form (the “Global Securities”) deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Interests in any permanent Global Securities will be held only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances described in the General Disclosure Package. Payment for the Offered Securities shall be made by the Underwriters in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representative on March 26, 2014, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representative and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”, against delivery to the Trustee as custodian for DTC of the Global Securities representing all of the Offered Securities at the office of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 at 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on such date. The Global Securities will be made available for checking at the above office of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.

4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus.

5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a) The Company has filed or will file each Statutory Prospectus (including the Final Prospectus) pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b)(2) (or, if applicable, subparagraph (5)) not later than the second business day following the earlier of the date it is first used or the execution

and delivery of this Agreement. The Company has complied and will comply with Rule 433.

(b) The Company will promptly advise the Representative of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or any Statutory Prospectus at any time and will offer the Representative a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such amendment or supplement; and the Company will also advise the Representative promptly of (i) the filing of any such amendment or supplement, (ii) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to the Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Statutory Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be) required to be delivered under the Act by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and the dealers and any other dealers upon request of the Representative, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the Representative’s consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof.

(d) As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(e) The Company will furnish to the Representative copies of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative may from time to time reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

(f) The Company will promptly from time to time take such action as any Underwriter may reasonably request to arrange for the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as any Underwriter designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any such state or province.

(g) During a period of five years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to stockholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters (i) as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (ii) from time to time, such other public information concerning the Company as the Representative may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such document filed with the Commission that is publicly available in electronic form on the Commission’s XXXXX system or on the Company’s website shall not be provided.

(h) The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of its obligations under the Operative Documents, including (i) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its professional advisers; (ii) all expenses in connection with the execution, issue, authentication, packaging and delivery of the Offered Securities, the preparation and printing of this Agreement, the Offered Securities, the Indenture, the Preliminary Prospectus, any other documents comprising any part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, all amendments and supplements thereto, and any other document relating to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities; (iii) any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as any Underwriter designates and the printing of memoranda relating thereto; (iv) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities; (v) expenses incurred in distributing the Preliminary Prospectus, any other documents comprising any part of the General Disclosure Package and the

Final Prospectus (including any amendment and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters; (vi) costs and expenses related to the review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) of the Offered Securities (including filing fees and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such review); and (vii) all travel expenses of the Company’s officers and employees and any other expenses of the Company in connection with attending meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities. It is understood that, except as provided in this Section and in Sections 8 and 11 hereof, the Underwriters will pay for all travel expenses of the Underwriters’ employees and any other out-of-pocket expenses of the Underwriters in connection with attending or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities, the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on the resale of any of the Offered Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they make.

(i) The Company will use the net proceeds received in connection with this offering in the manner described in the “Use of Proceeds” section of the Final Prospectus and in accordance with the covenants contained in the debt instruments described in the “Description of Our Other Indebtedness” section of the Final Prospectus and, except as disclosed in the Final Prospectus in compliance with Rule 5121 of the rules of FINRA, the Company does not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities hereunder to repay any outstanding debt owed to any affiliate of any Underwriter.

(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Securities.

(k) During the period of 30 days following the date hereof, Holdings will not and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representative), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of, or file any registration statement under the Act in respect of, any United States dollar-denominated debt securities that are substantially similar to the Offered Securities and are issued or guaranteed by the Company or guaranteed by Holdings, and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue (other than in connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreements) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements).

(l) The Company will obtain the approval of DTC for “book-entry” transfer of the Offered Securities, and will comply with all of its agreements set forth in the representation letters of the Company and the Guarantors to DTC relating to the approval of the Offered Securities by DTC for “book-entry” transfer.

(m) The Company will not voluntarily claim, and will actively resist any attempts to claim, the benefit of any usury laws against the holders of any Notes and the related Guaranties.

(n) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to do and perform all things required or necessary to be done and performed under this Agreement by it prior to the Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent to the delivery of the Offered Securities.

6. Free Writing Prospectuses. (a) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representative, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representative is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing where required, legending and record keeping.

(b) The Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the Offered Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities and otherwise in a form consented to by the Representative, and will file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) following the date such final terms have been established for all classes of the offering of the Offered Securities. Any such final term sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement. The Company also consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that contains only (i)(x) information describing the preliminary terms of the Offered Securities or their offering or (y) information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities or their offering and that is included in the final term sheet of the Company contemplated in the first sentence of this subsection or (ii) other information that is not “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433, it being understood that any such free writing prospectus referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall not be an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.

7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Offered Securities as provided herein on the Closing Date are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion, of the following conditions precedent on or prior to the Closing Date:

(a) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred:

(i) any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded Holdings or the Company or any of the securities of Holdings, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or in the rating outlook for Holdings or the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act; and

(ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or results of operations of Holdings and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the General Disclosure Package as of the date of this Agreement that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and that makes it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus.

(b) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Applicable Time and on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date; the statements of the Company and the Guarantors’ officers made pursuant to any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be true and correct on and as of the date made and on and as of the Closing Date; the Company and the Guarantors shall have performed all covenants and agreements and satisfied all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date certificates, dated the Closing Date, signed by the President or any Vice President and a principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and the Guarantors to the effect set forth in Sections 7(a)(i) and 7(a)(ii), and further to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement were true and correct as of the Applicable Time

and true and correct as of the Closing Date; that the Company and the Guarantors have complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing Date; and that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to their knowledge, are contemplated by the Commission.

(d) The Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and Section 5(a) hereof. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter, shall be contemplated by the Commission.

(e) The Underwriters shall have received from (i) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, their opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the effect set forth in Annex I hereto, and their negative assurance letter, dated the Closing Date, to the effect set forth in Annex II hereto, and (ii) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, General Counsel to Holdings, his opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the effect set forth in Annex III hereto. Such opinions and letter shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.

In addition, on the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received from such accountant a “bring-down comfort letter” dated the Closing Date addressed to the Underwriters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, in the form of the “comfort letter” delivered on the date hereof, except that (i) it shall cover the financial information in the Final Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and (ii) procedures shall be brought down to a date no more than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date.

(h) The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee shall have executed and delivered the Indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to

the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall have received an executed copy thereof.

(i) On or before the Closing Date, the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters shall have received such information, documents, letters and opinions as they may reasonably require for the purposes of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities as contemplated herein, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties, or the satisfaction of any of the conditions or agreements, herein contained.

(j) On or before the Closing Date, the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters shall have received evidence that an irrevocable notice of redemption shall have been given with respect to the Company’s outstanding 9.25 Senior Notes due 2019, issued under the indenture dated November 17, 2009 among the Company, Holdings, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.

If any condition specified in this Section 7 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any party, except that Sections 5(h), 8 and 11 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of each Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (other than in the case of the Registration Statement in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, including any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(c) of this Agreement, and, subject to Section 8(c) of this Agreement, will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged

untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to Holdings or the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Guarantor, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to such Underwriters, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to Holdings or the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and will reimburse any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Underwriter shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(c) of this Agreement. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Underwriters through the Representative have furnished to Holdings expressly for use in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) will be described in a separate letter agreement between the parties hereto. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),

and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party 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 party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party 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 party; or (iv) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party 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 such indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representative, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by Holdings, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify an indemnified party hereunder with respect to any settlement or compromise of, or consent to 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 if (i) such settlement, compromise or consent is entered into or made or given by the indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party and (ii) the indemnifying party has not unreasonably withheld or delayed any such consent.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party 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 the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(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 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors and the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of 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 any Guarantor, or by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Offered Securities they have purchased hereunder as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A hereto, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by such Underwriter under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such Underwriter 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 remedies provided for in this Section 8 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.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of

any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities.

9. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representative with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Offered Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Offered Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or of the Company or any Guarantor except that the provisions of Sections 5(h), 8 and 11 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representative 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 General Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

10. Termination. The Representative may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representative to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) there shall have occurred any suspension or

limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any suspension of trading of any securities of Holdings or the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (ii) there shall have occurred any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities or a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Representative, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Offered Securities.

11. Reimbursement of the Expenses of the Underwriters. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Representative pursuant to Section 10 or because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Guarantors to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason Holdings, the Company or the Guarantors shall be unable to perform their obligations under this Agreement, Holdings will reimburse the Underwriters, severally, upon demand for all documented out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

12. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Offered Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities.

(b) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and the Guarantors only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and (iv) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters
