Ladies & Gentlemen:

Vail Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., Piper Jaffray & Co., and Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. (each, an "Initial Purchaser" and, collectively, the "Initial Purchasers") $390,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Restricted Notes"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Restricted Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), to be dated the Closing Date (as defined), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined) and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Notes (as defined) will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") as to payment of principal, interest, premium and liquidated damages, if any, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally by each entity listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the "Guarantors"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.

      1. Issuance of Securities. The Company proposes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers an aggregate of $390,000,000 in principal amount of Restricted Notes. The Restricted Notes and the Exchange Notes (as defined) issuable in exchange therefor are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes."
      2. Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), the Restricted Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend:

        THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (a) IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (A "QIB") OR (b) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (a) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (b) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QIB IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (d) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), OR (e) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "OFFSHORE TRANSACTION," "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

      3. Offering. The Restricted Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act. The Company has prepared an offering memorandum, dated January 15, 2004 (the "Offering Memorandum"), relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and the Restricted Notes.
      4. The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company that the Initial Purchasers will make offers (the "Exempt Resales") of the Restricted Notes on the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, solely to (i) persons whom the Initial Purchasers reasonably believe to be "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A under the Act ("QIBs") and (ii) non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Act (each, a "Reg S Investor"). The QIBs and the Reg S Investors are collectively referred to herein as the "Eligible Purchasers." The Initial Purchaser will offer the Restricted Notes to such Eligible Purchasers initially at a price equal to that set forth on the cover of the Offering Memorandum. Such price may be changed by the Initial Purchasers at any time without notice.

        Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Restricted Notes will have the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement relating thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), to be dated the Closing Date (as defined), for so long as such Restricted Notes constitute "Transfer Restricted Securities" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will agree to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Act (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") relating to the Company's 6 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Exchange Notes") and Guarantees thereof to be offered in exchange for the Restricted Notes and Guarantees thereof (the "Exchange Offer") and (ii) a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (the "Shelf Registration Statement" and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the "Registration Statements") relating to the resale by certain holders of the Restricted Notes, and to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statements to be declared effective and to consummate the Exchange Offer. This Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Operative Documents."

      5. Purchase, Sale and Delivery.  
        1. On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, and each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the principal amounts of Restricted Notes set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser on Schedule II hereto. The purchase price for the Restricted Notes will be $ per $1,000 principal amount Restricted Note.
        2. Delivery of the Restricted Notes shall be made, against payment of the purchase price therefor, at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 885 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 or such other location as may be mutually acceptable. Such delivery and payment shall be made at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on January 29, 2004 or at such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Initial Purchasers and the Company. The time and date of such delivery and payment are herein called the "Closing Date."
        3. On the Closing Date, one or more Restricted Notes in definitive global form, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), having an aggregate amount corresponding to the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes (the "Global Note") sold pursuant to Exempt Resales to Eligible Purchasers shall be delivered by the Company to the Initial Purchasers (or as the Initial Purchasers direct), against payment by the Initial Purchasers of the purchase price therefor, by wire transfer of same day funds, to an account designated by the Company, provided that the Company shall give at least two business days' prior notice to the Initial Purchasers of the information required to effect such wire transfer. The Global Note shall be made available to the Initial Purchasers for inspection not later than 9:30 a.m. on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date.
      6. Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants and agrees with the Initial Purchasers as follows:
        1. To advise the Initial Purchasers promptly and, if requested by the Initial Purchasers, 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 or the related Guarantees for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority and (ii) of the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Offering Memorandum untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes or the related Guarantees under any state securities or Blue Sky laws and, if at any time any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption of any Notes or the related Guarantees under any state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.
        2.

The Company and the Guarantors shall promptly prepare, upon the Initial Purchasers' request, any amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum that may be necessary or advisable in connection with such Exempt Resales or such market making activities.
        4. If, during the period referred to in Section 4(c) above, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company and the Guarantors or in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors or counsel for the Initial Purchasers, it becomes necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when such Offering Memorandum is delivered to an Eligible Purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with applicable law, (i) to notify the Initial Purchasers and (ii) forthwith to prepare an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum so that the statements therein as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that the Offering Memorandum will comply with applicable law.
        5. To cooperate with the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers in connection with the qualification or registration of the Restricted Notes and the Guarantees thereof under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request and to continue such qualification in effect so long as required for the Exempt Resales; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required in connection therewith to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits or taxation, in each case, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Offering Memorandum or Exempt Resales, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

The Company has, as of the date hereof, and will have, as of the Closing Date an authorized and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, both on an historical basis and as adjusted to give effect to the offering of the Notes. The Company owns directly or indirectly such percentage of the outstanding capital stock (or similar interests) of each of its subsidiaries as is set forth opposite the name of such subsidiary in Schedule IV hereto, free and clear of all claims, liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, stockholders agreements and voting trusts, subject to such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
          16. The Company has no subsidiaries other than those listed in Schedule IV hereto. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation or other entity in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as the case may be. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for those failures to be so qualified or in good standing that will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the Material Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate, or other, power and authority, and all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, filings, qualifications, licenses and permits of and from all public, regulatory or governmental agencies and bodies, to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as now being conducted and as described in the Offering Memorandum (except for those the absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of the Material Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to revocation or modification of any such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, filings, qualifications, licenses or permits.
          17. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in violation or breach of, or in default under (nor has an event occurred that with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under) any Material Contract, and each Material Contract is in full force and effect, and is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company or such subsidiary, as the case may be, and (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally) is enforceable as to the Company or such subsidiary, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, subject to such exceptions which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Material Subsidiary is in violation of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or similar governing instrument.
          18. There is no litigation, arbitration, claim, governmental or other proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing with respect to the Company or any Material Subsidiary, or any of its respective operations, businesses, properties or assets, except as described in the Offering Memorandum, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Material Subsidiary is, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would be, in violation of or non-compliance with the requirements of any Material Permit or the provisions of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree, including, but without limitation thereto, all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to (A) zoning, land use, protection of the environment, human health and safety or hazardous or toxic substances, wastes, pollutants or contaminants and (B) employee or occupational safety, discrimination in hiring, promotion or pay of employees, employee hours and wages or employee benefits, except for such violations or failures of compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
          19. Except as described in the Offering Memorandum, the Company and each Material Subsidiary have (A) good and marketable title to all real and personal properties owned by them, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, and mortgages, and (B) valid, subsisting and enforceable leases for all real and personal properties leased by them, in each case, subject to such exceptions as, individually or in the aggregate, do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, no real property owned, leased, licensed or used by the Company or by a Material Subsidiary lies in an area that is, or to the best knowledge of the Company will be, subject to zoning, use, or building code restrictions that would prohibit or prevent the continued effective ownership, leasing, licensing, or use of such real property in the business of the Company or such Material Subsidiary as presently conducted or as the Offering Memorandum indicates is contemplated to be conducted, subject to such exceptions which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          20. The Company, directly or through one or more of the subsidiaries, owns or possesses all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), service marks and trade names (collectively, "Intellectual Property") necessary to conduct its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, except where the failure to own or possess such Intellectual Property, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received notice of infringement of or conflict with the asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property, except for those which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best actual knowledge of the Company's senior management (no duty of inquiry being implied), there is no infringement by others of any Intellectual Property of the Company or any subsidiary that has had or may in the future have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company or a predecessor has registered, and the Company or a subsidiary owns the rights to all registrations of the rights to the trademark and related logo for each of "Vail" and "Beaver Creek" in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so register or to so own such rights to such registrations would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
          21. To the Company's best knowledge, neither the Company nor any subsidiary, nor any director, officer or employee of the Company or any subsidiary has, directly or indirectly, used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment, or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, violated any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback, or other unlawful payment.
          22. There are no holders of securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who, by reason of the execution by the Company or any of the Guarantors of this Agreement or any other Operative Document to which it is a party or the consummation by the Company or any of the Guarantors of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have the right to request or demand that the Company or any of its subsidiaries register under the Act or analogous foreign laws and regulations securities held by them other than pursuant to the Registration Right Agreement.
          23. None of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
          24. Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and its subsidiaries and any other person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Initial Purchasers for a brokerage commission, finder's fee or like payment in connection with the issuance, purchase and sale of the Notes.
          25. Other than as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, no labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the best knowledge of the Company, is imminent that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
          26. (A) All United States Federal income tax returns of the Company and each subsidiary required by law to be filed have been filed and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed that are due and payable have been paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be promptly taken and (B) the Company and the subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to the applicable laws of all other jurisdictions, except, as to each of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), insofar as the failure to file such returns, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company and the subsidiaries have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any subsidiary, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with US GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the consolidated books of the Company in respect of any tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
          27. The Company and each subsidiary is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the subsidiaries are engaged.
          28. Except as disclosed in, or incorporated by reference into, the Offering Memorandum, there are no business relationships or related party transactions of the nature described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K of the Commission involving the Company or any other persons referred to in such Item 404, except for such transactions that would be considered immaterial under such Item 404.
          29. No action has been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order has been enacted, adopted or issued by any governmental agency that prevents the issuance of the Notes or the Guarantees or prevents or suspends the use of the Offering Memorandum; no injunction, restraining order or order of any nature by a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction has been issued that prevents the issuance of the Notes or the Guarantees or prevents or suspends the sale of the Notes or the Guarantees in any jurisdiction referred to in Section 4(e) hereof; and every request of any securities authority or agency of any jurisdiction for additional information has been complied with in all material respects.
          30. No registration under the Act of the Restricted Notes or the Guarantees thereof is required for the sale of the Restricted Notes to the Initial Purchasers as contemplated hereby or for the Exempt Resales assuming (A) that the purchasers who buy the Restricted Notes in the Exempt Resales are Eligible Purchasers and (B) the accuracy of the Initial Purchasers' representations regarding the absence of general solicitation in connection with the sale of Restricted Notes to the Initial Purchasers and the Exempt Resales contained herein. No form of general solicitation or general advertising (as defined in Regulation D under the Act) was used by the Company or any of the Guarantors or any of their representatives (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which the Company and the Guarantors make no representation or warranty) in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Restricted Notes or the Guarantees thereof or in connection with Exempt Resales, including, but not limited to, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. No securities of the same class as the Notes have been issued and sold by the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the six-month period immediately prior to the date hereof.
          31. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents and the sale of the Restricted Notes to be purchased by Eligible Purchasers will not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The representation made by the Company and the Guarantors in the preceding sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations and covenants made or deemed made by Eligible Purchasers as set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the caption "Transfer Restrictions."
          32. The statistical and market-related data included in the Offering Memorandum are based on or derived from sources which the Company and the Guarantors believe to be reliable and accurate in all material respects.
          33. The Offering Memorandum, as of its date, contains the information specified in, and meets the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act.
          34. Prior to the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
          35. None of the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Notes, the application of the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, will violate Regulations T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
          36. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor intends to, nor believes that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. The present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company and each Guarantor exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured. The assets of the Company and each Guarantor does not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Upon the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees, the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company and each Guarantor will exceed the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured. Upon the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees, the assets of the Company and each Guarantor will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as now conducted.
          37. Each certificate signed by any officer of the Company or any Guarantor and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Initial Purchasers as to the matters covered thereby.
          38. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that the Initial Purchasers and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 hereof, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and hereby consent to such reliance.
          39. None of the Company, the Guarantors nor any of their respective affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company and the Guarantors make no representation) has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S with respect to the Restricted Notes.
          40. The Restricted Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S have been and will be offered and sold only in offshore transactions.
          41. The sale of the Restricted Notes pursuant to Regulation S is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Act.
          42. The Company, the Guarantors and their respective affiliates and all persons acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company and the Guarantors make no representation) have complied with and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Restricted Notes outside the United States and, in connection therewith, the Offering Memorandum contains the disclosure required by Rule 902(g)(2).
          43. Each of the Company and the Guarantors is a "reporting issuer," as defined in Rule 902 under the Act.
          44. As of the date hereof, the Company and, to the best of its knowledge, its officers and directors are in compliance in all material respects with applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") that are effective as of the date hereof.
          45. Except as disclosed in, or incorporated by reference into, the Offering Memorandum, the Company maintains a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
        2. Each of the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Company and the Guarantors and agrees that:
          1. Such Initial Purchaser is a QIB, with such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as are necessary in order to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Restricted Notes.
          2. Such Initial Purchaser (A) is not acquiring the Restricted Notes with a view to any distribution thereof that would violate the Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction and (B) will be reoffering and reselling the Restricted Notes only to QIBs in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Act provided by Rule 144A and in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Act.
          3. No form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act) has been or will be used by such Initial Purchaser or any of its representatives in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Restricted Notes or Guarantees, including, but not limited to, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
          4. Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, in connection with the Exempt Resales, it will solicit offers to buy the Restricted Notes only from, and will offer to sell the Restricted Notes only to, Eligible Purchasers. Such Initial Purchaser further agrees that (A) it will offer to sell the Restricted Notes only to, and will solicit offers to buy the Restricted Notes only from Eligible Purchasers who in purchasing such Restricted Notes will be deemed to have represented and agreed that they are purchasing the Restricted Notes for their own account or accounts with respect to which they exercise sole investment discretion and that they or such accounts are Eligible Purchasers, and (B) such Eligible Purchasers will acknowledge and agree that such Restricted Notes will not have been registered under the Act and may be resold, pledged or otherwise transferred within two years of issuance only (1) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, (2) inside the United States to a QIB in compliance with Rule 144A under the Act, (3)  outside the United States in an offshore transaction in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Act, (4) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Act (if available), or (5) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, and (C) acknowledges that it will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any purchaser of a Restricted Note of the resale restrictions set forth in (B) above.
          5. Such Initial Purchaser and its affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf have not engaged and will not engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S with respect to the Restricted Notes or the Guarantees thereof.
          6. The Restricted Notes offered and sold by such Initial Purchaser pursuant hereto in reliance on Regulation S have been and will be offered and sold only in offshore transactions.
          7. The sale of Restricted Notes offered and sold by such Initial Purchaser pursuant hereto in reliance on Regulation S is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Act.
          8. Such Initial Purchaser agrees that it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell the Restricted Notes in the United States or to, or for the benefit or account of, a U.S. Person (other than a distributor), in each case, as defined in Rule 902 under the Act (1) as part of its distribution at any time and (2) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Restricted Notes pursuant hereto and the Closing Date, other than in accordance with Regulation S of the Act or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, during such 40-day distribution compliance period, it will not cause any advertisement with respect to the Restricted Notes (including any "tombstone" advertisement) to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and will not issue any circular relating to the Restricted Notes, except such advertisements as are permitted by and include the statements required by Regulation S.
          9. Such Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of a sale of Restricted Notes by it to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration during the 40-day distribution compliance period referred to in Rule 903(c)(2) under the Act, it will send to such distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

        "The Restricted Notes covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of your distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the Offering and the Closing Date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (or Rule 144A in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act), and in connection with any subsequent sale by you of the Restricted Notes covered hereby in reliance on Regulation S during the period referred to above to any distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration, you must deliver a notice to substantially the foregoing effect. Terms used above have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation S."

        The Initial Purchasers acknowledge that the Company and the Guarantors and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 hereof, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors and counsel for the Initial Purchasers will rely upon the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations and hereby consent to such reliance.

      8. Indemnification.
        1. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Initial Purchasers, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, provided that such settlement was effected with the Company's and the Guarantor's written consent in accordance with Section 6(c) hereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference therein), or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company and the Guarantors in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have, including under this Agreement.
        2. The Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company and the Guarantors, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Company and the Guarantors, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, provided that such settlement was effected with such Initial Purchaser's written consent in accordance with Section 6(c) hereof), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company and the Guarantors in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers expressly for use therein; provided, however, that in no case shall the Initial Purchasers be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have, including under this Agreement.
        3. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may otherwise have). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying party or parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties with respect to such different defenses), in any of which events such fees and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above shall only be liable for the legal expenses of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction in which any claim or action is brought. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its prior written consent, provided that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.
      9. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable from an indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses suffered by the Company or any Guarantor, any contribution received by the Company and the Guarantors from persons, other than the Initial Purchasers, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to which the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Restricted Notes or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law or indemnification is not available as a result of the indemnifying party not having received notice as provided in Section 6, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total proceeds from the offering of Restricted Notes (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors and (ii) the discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Initial 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 Company, any Guarantor or the Initial Purchasers 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 Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above.
      10. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, (i) in no case shall the Initial Purchasers be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Restricted Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Initial Purchasers has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) 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. For purposes of this Section 7, (A) each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and (B) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchasers or any controlling person shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and (A) each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and (B) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Company and the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 7. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 7, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the failure to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 7 or otherwise. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its prior written consent, provided that such written consent was not unreasonably withheld. The Initial Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Restricted Notes purchased by each of the Initial Purchasers hereunder and not joint.

The Initial Purchasers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date by notice to the Company from the Initial Purchasers, without liability (other than with respect to Sections 6 and 7) on the Initial Purchasers' part to the Company or any of the Guarantors if, on or prior to such date, (i) the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in any material respect any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (ii) the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in any material respect any agreement on its part required to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the Offer, (iii) any other condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder as provided in Section 8 is not fulfilled when and as required in any material respect, (iv) in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers, any material adverse change shall have occurred since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum in the condition (financial or otherwise), business, prospects, or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than as set forth in the Offering Memorandum, or (v) (A) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been established, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on such exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, or by such exchange or other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (B) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or state authorities; or (C) there is an outbreak or escalation of armed hostilities involving the United States on or after the date hereof, or if there has been a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, the effect of which shall be, in the Initial Purchasers' judgment, to make it inadvisable or impracticable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Restricted Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Memorandum; or (D) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any other calamity or crisis or materially adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions having an effect on the U.S. financial markets such as, in the Initial Purchasers' judgment, makes it inadvisable or impracticable to proceed with the delivery of the Restricted Notes as contemplated hereby.
        3. Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be by telephone or facsimile and, in either case, confirmed in writing by letter.
        4. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof (otherwise than pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 11(b), in which case each party will be responsible for its own expenses), or if the sale of the Restricted Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Guarantor to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Initial Purchasers' counsel), incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection herewith.
        5. If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase the Restricted Notes which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers, 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 Restricted Notes to be purchased on such date by all Initial Purchasers, each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the principal amount of the Restricted Notes set forth opposite its name in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes which all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, as the case may be, have agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as Banc of America Securities LLC. ("BAS") may specify, to purchase the Restricted Notes which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers, 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 Restricted Notes which any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 3 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of the Restricted Notes without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase the Restricted Notes and the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes to be purchased by all Initial Purchasers and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for purchase of such the Restricted Notes are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser and the Company. In any such case which does not result in termination of this Agreement, either BAS 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 Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of any such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.
      15. Notice. All communications hereunder, except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, shall be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers shall be mailed, delivered, telecopied and confirmed in writing or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing delivery on the next business day to Banc of America Securities LLC, 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Legal Department, telecopy number: (212) 583-8567, with a copy to Latham & Watkins LLP, 885 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Howard A.

This Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Initial Purchasers, the Company, the Guarantors and the controlling persons and agents referred to in Sections 6 and 7, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall have or be construed to have any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. The term "successors and assigns" shall not include a purchaser, in its capacity as such, of Notes from the Initial Purchasers.
      17. Construction. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
      18. Captions. The captions included in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and are not to be considered a part of this Agreement.
