 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In order to induce the Purchasers to enter into
this Agreement and to induce the Purchasers to purchase the Securities, the Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that: 
 (a)
Amended Credit Agreement. All of the representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto are true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the
date hereof. 
 (b) SEC Reports. Except as set forth on Schedule 2(b) hereto, at the time of its effective filing, the
Company’s annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Commission (the “2004 10-K”) and all subsequent reports that have been filed by the Company with the Commission (collectively
with the 2004 10-K, the “SEC Reports”) or sent to stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Act did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder. 
 (c) No Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in the interim financial statements of the Company for 2005
previously delivered to the Purchasers, since December 31, 2004, no event or change has occurred that has resulted in or evidences or would reasonably be expected to have, either in any case or in the aggregate a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, Properties, consolidated financial condition or results of operations or business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Operative
Documents, or on the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Securities or any other Operative Document (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and, since such date, except as set forth on Schedule 2(c) hereto, there has not
been any change in the capital stock or other equity interests, membership interests, partnership interests or long-term debt of the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business in

fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by it, in each case free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances and defects, except as set forth on Schedule 2(d) hereto, and any real property,
personal property and buildings held under lease by the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries are, as of the date hereof, held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere

which the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or of which any Property of the Company or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation by the Company of the transactions

specified and the balance sheets included in the SEC Reports present fairly, as of the date specified, the financial condition and stockholders’ equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as otherwise stated therein; and the other financial and accounting information and data related to the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries set forth in the SEC

consistent with the financial statements and the books and records of the entities as to which such information is shown. 
 (s)
Projections. The forecasted financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries delivered to the Purchasers, consisting of balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements for the Company and its Subsidiaries giving effect to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the issuance of the Securities hereunder, dated September 23, 2005 (the “Projections”), have been diligently prepared on a basis consistent with the
financial statements included in the SEC Reports, and are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Company to be reasonable as of the date of the Projections, and there are no statements or conclusions in any of
the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein. On
the Closing Date, the Company believes that the Projections were reasonable, it being recognized by the Purchasers, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods
covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 
 (ii) From December 31, 2004 through July 1, 2005, the date as

Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data, (2) any material weakness in internal

their financial statements and to maintain accountability for their assets, (C) access to their assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization and (D) the reported accountability for their assets is compared

Company, threatened against any of them, before the National Labor Relations Board or any federal, state, local or foreign labor relations board, and no significant grievance or significant arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any
collective bargaining agreement pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of them, and (ii) no significant strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending against the Company or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of them or by the employers of any of their principal suppliers or contractors, except (with respect to any matter specified in

outstanding tax liabilities in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Neither the Company nor any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries has requested any extension of time within which to file any material tax return,
which return has not since been filed within the time period permitted by such extension; the amounts currently set up as provisions for taxes or otherwise by the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries on their books and records are reasonably

to as the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, whether joint or several (including all legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection
with the preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened third party claim, action or proceeding, whether or not resulting in any liability), to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any Applicable Law or otherwise, whenever
arising or occurring and caused by or arising out of, or allegedly caused by or arising out of, (i) this Agreement, any other Operative Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, any failure to
purchase the Securities other than by reason of a breach of this Agreement by the Indemnified Party), (ii) any enforcement of any of the Operative Documents, or (iii) any Environmental Law, Environmental Claim or any Hazardous Materials
Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors and Affiliates; provided,
however, that the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party from or against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent that the same resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct 

  

 -26- 








 
of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable decision. 
 (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any claim, action or proceeding with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnity hereunder, such Indemnified Party will notify the Company of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding, provided that the failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Company of its obligations under this Section 8 with respect to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Company will assume the defense of such claim, action or proceeding and
will employ counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the Company will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party will be entitled, at the expense of the Company, to employ
counsel separate from counsel for the Company and for any other party in such action if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines upon advice of counsel that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Company
not advisable. 
 (c) THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION 8 SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS
BASED UPON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS OR LAWS (INCLUDING ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE BULK SALES LAW, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, FRAUDULENT TRANSFER ACT, OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH LAW OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES OR OTHER LAW) AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT
LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any
reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under Section 8(a) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then the Company shall, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof: 
 (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on
the other from the purchase and sale of the Securities, or 
 (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) 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), but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other with respect
to the acts or omissions which resulted in 

  

 -27- 








 
such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the [        ]% discount
received by the Purchasers with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to $25,000,000. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such act or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein.
