Ladies and Gentlemen:




     Altra Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the
Guarantors (as hereinafter defined) hereby agree with you as follows:



          1. Issuance of Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the
Company proposes to issue and sell to the initial purchasers listed on Schedule I (the
“Initial Purchasers”), for whom Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefferies”) and J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), $75,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Initial
Securities”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the
“Indenture”), to be dated as of March 7, 2011, between the Company, the Guarantors and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). In addition, the
Company has granted to the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $10,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 on the terms and
conditions and for the purposes set forth in Section 2 (the “Option Securities” and,
together with the Initial Securities, the “Securities”). The Securities will be
convertible into duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par
value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (such shares, the
“Conversion Shares”) on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the
Indenture. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
“Description of the Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum (as hereinafter defined).




          The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to exemptions from
the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same are no longer required under the
applicable requirements of the Act, the Securities shall bear the legends set forth under the
“Notice to Investors” section of the final offering memorandum, dated the date hereof (including
the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Offering Memorandum”). The
Company has prepared (i) a preliminary offering memorandum, dated March 1, 2011, including the
information incorporated by reference therein
(the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), (ii) a pricing term sheet attached hereto as
Schedule II, which includes pricing terms and other information with respect to the
Securities and the Conversion Shares (the “Pricing Term Sheet”) and (iii) the Final
Offering Memorandum relating to the offer and sale of the



 









 






Securities (the “Offering”).
“Offering Memorandum” means the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and any exhibits and
schedules thereto, including all information incorporated by reference therein, as supplemented by
the Pricing Term Sheet at 4:30 p.m. New York City time on the date hereof (the “Applicable
Time”). No later than the second Business Day following the date hereof, the Company will
prepare and deliver to the Initial Purchasers the Final Offering Memorandum and from and after the
time such Final Offering Memorandum is delivered to the Initial Purchasers, all references herein
to the “Offering Memorandum” shall be deemed collectively to refer to (i) the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum (as supplemented by the Pricing Term Sheet and any exhibits thereto) and (ii)
the Final Offering Memorandum (and any amendment or supplement to either such document), including
exhibits and schedules thereto. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum immediately prior to the
Applicable Time, taken together with the Pricing Term Sheet, is referred to as the “Pricing
Disclosure Package.”




          2. Terms of Offering. The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company, and the
Company understands, that the Initial Purchasers will make offers to sell (the “Exempt
Resales”) some or all of the Securities purchased by the Initial Purchasers hereunder on the
terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, as amended or
supplemented, to persons (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) whom the Initial Purchasers
reasonably believe to be (i) “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) as defined in Rule
144A under the Act, as such may be amended from time to time and (ii) non-U.S. persons permitted to
purchase the Securities in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Act and in
compliance with the laws applicable to such persons in jurisdictions outside the United States
(each, a “Reg S Person” and, together with the QIBs, “Eligible Purchasers”).




          Pursuant to the Indenture, all existing and future Domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the
Indenture) of the Company shall fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior basis, to each
holder of the Securities and the Trustee, the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations
under the Indenture and the Securities (each such subsidiary being referred to herein as a
“Guarantor” and each such guarantee being referred to herein as a “Guarantee”).




          This Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities and the Conversion Shares are collectively
referred to herein as the “Documents” and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”




          3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery.





	(a)	 	On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein
contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to
issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, and each of the Initial Purchasers agrees, severally
and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, the respective principal amount of the Initial
Securities set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser’s name in Schedule I hereto, at a
purchase price of 97.00% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.
	 
	(b)	 	The Company hereby grants to the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase up to
$10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Option Securities at the same purchase price as set
forth above in Section 3(a) for the Initial Securities. Such option is granted for the
purpose of covering over-allotments in the sale of Initial Securities. The option will expire
13 days after the Initial Closing Date (as defined below) and may be exercised in whole or in
part from time to time by written notice being given to the Company by the Representatives.
Such notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount of Option Securities as to which
the option is being exercised, the names in which the principal amount of Option Securities
are to be registered, the denominations in which the Option Securities are to be issued and

	(c)	 	Delivery to the Initial Purchasers of and payment for the Initial Securities shall be
made at a closing (the “Initial Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on
March 7, 2011 (the “Initial Closing Date”) and delivery to the Initial Purchasers of
and payment for any Option Securities shall be made at a closing (the “Option Closing”
and, together with the Initial Closing, the “Closing”) to be held at a time and place
to be agreed by the Company and the Representatives (the “Option Closing Date” and,
together with the Initial Closing Date, the “Closing Date”), in each case, at the New
York City offices of Proskauer Rose LLP.






	(d)	 	The Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchasers one or more certificates

immediately available federal funds bank wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as the
Company shall designate to the Initial Purchasers at least two business days prior to the
applicable Closing Date. The certificates representing the Initial Securities and the Option
Securities, as the case may be, in definitive form shall be made available to the Initial
Purchasers for inspection at the New York offices of Proskauer Rose LLP, Eleven Times Square,
New York, New York 10036 (or such other place as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial
Purchasers) not later than 10:00 a.m. New York time one business day immediately preceding the
applicable Closing Date. Securities to be represented by one or more definitive global
securities in book-entry form will be deposited on the applicable Closing Date, by or on
behalf of the Company, with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its designated
custodian, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.





          4. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and
the Guarantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Initial
Purchasers that, as of the Applicable Time and as of the applicable Closing Date:





	(a)	 	As of the Applicable Time, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum do not, and at the applicable Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
4(a) do not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information relating to the Initial Purchasers furnished to the Company in writing by the
Initial Purchasers expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the only information furnished in writing to the Company by the Initial Purchasers
specifically for use in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum or any
amendment or supplement thereto is the information set forth in the fifth sentence of the
seventh paragraph and the first sentence of the tenth paragraph under the heading “Plan of
Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum (such information, the “Furnished
Information”). No injunction or order has been issued that either (i) asserts that any of
the transactions contemplated by the Documents is subject to the registration requirements of
the Act or (ii) would prevent or suspend the issuance or sale of any of the Securities or the
use of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering
Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, in any jurisdiction. The Pricing
Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time and each of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum
and the Final Offering Memorandum, as of their respective dates, contained, and the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum, as of the applicable Closing Date, will
contain, all the information specified in, and meet the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Act.






	(b)	 	The Company has not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or distributed and
will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or distribute any written communication that
constitutes an 




-3-









 






	 	 	offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such
communication by the
Company or its agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) below) a “Company Additional Written Communication”) other than (i) the
Pricing Disclosure Package, (ii) the Final Offering Memorandum, and (iii) any electronic
road show or other written communications, in each case used in accordance with Section
5(c). Each such Company Additional Written Communication, when taken together with the
Pricing Disclosure Package, did not, and at the applicable Closing Date will not, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not
apply to statements in or omissions from each such Company Additional Written Communication
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing
by the Initial Purchasers expressly for use in any Company Additional Written Communication,
if any.






	(c)	 	Each corporation, partnership or other entity in which the Company, directly or
indirectly through any of its subsidiaries, owns more than fifty percent (50%) of any class of
equity securities or interests is listed on Schedule III attached hereto (the
“Subsidiaries”). Each Subsidiary that is a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary (as defined
in the Indenture) has an asterisk (“*”) next to its name on such schedule.






	(d)	 	Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) has been duly organized or formed, as
the case may be, is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and in the Final Offering Memorandum
and to own, lease and operate its properties and assets as described in the Pricing Disclosure
Package and in the Final Offering Memorandum and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other entity, as the case may be, authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of such business or the ownership or leasing of such properties requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on (A) the properties, business, operations,
earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations in
all material respects under any Document, (C) the validity or enforceability of any of the
Documents or (D) the consummation of the Transactions (each, a “Material Adverse
Effect”).






	(e)	 	All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of or membership interests
in, as the case may be, the Company and the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly
issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in violation of, and are not
subject to, any preemptive or similar rights. The table under the caption “Capitalization” in
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (including the footnotes
thereto) sets forth, as of its date, (i) the actual cash and cash equivalents and
capitalization of the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (ii) the
adjusted cash and cash equivalents and capitalization of the Company and the Subsidiaries, on
a consolidated basis, after giving effect to the offer and sale of the Securities, the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, and the other transactions described in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the section entitled “Use of
Proceeds.” Except as set forth in such table, immediately following the closing of the
Offering, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries will have any liabilities, absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise, other than (A) liabilities that are reflected in the
Financial Statements (as hereinafter defined) or (B) liabilities incurred subsequent to the
date thereof in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, that would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the outstanding





-4-









 





	 	 	shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Subsidiaries are owned,
directly or indirectly, by the Company, free and clear of all liens, security interests,
mortgages, pledges,
charges, equities, claims or restrictions on transferability or encumbrances of any kind
(collectively, “Liens”), other than those described in the Pricing Disclosure
Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or imposed by the Act and the securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of certain domestic or foreign jurisdictions. Except as disclosed in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no outstanding (A) options,
warrants or other rights to purchase from the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, (B)
agreements, contracts, arrangements or other obligations of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries to issue or (C) other rights to convert any obligation into or exchange any
securities for, in the case of each of clauses (A) through (C), shares of capital stock of
or other ownership or equity interests in the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.






	(f)	 	The Company and each of the Subsidiaries that are corporations have the requisite
corporate power and authority, and each of the Subsidiaries that are limited partnerships or
limited liability companies have all the requisite partnership or other power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under the Documents to which they
are a party and to consummate the Transactions.






	(g)	 	This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and the Guarantors. The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized by the Company
and the Guarantors. The Indenture, when executed and delivered by the Company and the
Guarantors, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Company and
the Guarantors, enforceable against each of the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with
its terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before
which any proceeding therefor may be brought.






	(h)	 	The Securities, when issued, will be in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The
Indenture meets the requirements for qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the “TIA”). The Securities have each been duly and validly authorized by the
Company and, when delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture,
will have been duly executed, issued and delivered and will be legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefit of the Indenture, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to
(i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii)
general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.






	(i)	 	The Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized by the Guarantors and, when
executed by the Guarantors, will have been duly executed, issued and delivered and will be
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, entitled to the benefit of the
Indenture, and enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms, except that
the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in
effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether
applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding therefor may be brought.

	(j)	 	Upon issuance and delivery of the Securities in accordance with this Agreement and
the Indenture, the Securities will be convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the
Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Securities and the Conversion Shares
have
been duly reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Securities and have been duly and
validly authorized by the Company and, when issued and delivered to holders of the
Securities upon conversion of the Securities from time to time, the Conversion Shares will
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be issued in compliance
with federal and state securities laws. None of the Conversion Shares will be issued in
violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to
subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company.






	(k)	 	Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents (the “Charter Documents”).
Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of any federal, state,
local or foreign statute, law (including, without limitation, common law) or ordinance, or any
judgment, decree, rule, regulation or order (collectively, “Applicable Law”) of any
federal, state, local and other governmental authority, governmental or regulatory agency or
body, court, arbitrator or self-regulatory organization, domestic or foreign (each, a
“Governmental Authority”) applicable to any of them or any of their respective
properties, or (ii) in breach of or default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence
of indebtedness, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or any other agreement or
instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them or their respective
property is bound (collectively, “Applicable Agreements”), except for such violations,
breaches or defaults that have been irrevocably or permanently waived prior to the date of
this Agreement or that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, there exists no condition
that, with the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute (a) a violation of such Charter
Documents or Applicable Laws, (b) a breach of or default under any Applicable Agreement or (c)
result in the imposition of any penalty or the acceleration of any indebtedness.






	(l)	 	Neither the execution, delivery, issuance or performance of the Documents, as
applicable, nor the consummation of any of the Transactions will conflict with, violate,
constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, require the
consent of any person (other than consents already obtained and in full force and effect)
under, result in the imposition of a Lien on any assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or result in an acceleration of indebtedness under or pursuant to (i) the Charter
Documents, (ii) any Applicable Agreement or (iii) any Applicable Law, except for, with respect
to clauses (ii) and (iii), any conflict, violation, breach or default that would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
After consummation of the Offering and the Transactions, no Default or Event of Default under
the Indenture will exist.






	(m)	 	When executed and delivered, the Documents will conform in all material respects to
the descriptions thereof in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.
Except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, there
are no related party transactions that would be required to be disclosed in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum if the Pricing Disclosure Package or the
Final Offering Memorandum were a prospectus included in a Registration Statement on Form S-1
filed under the Act.






	(n)	 	No consent, approval, authorization or order of any Governmental Authority or third
party is required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities to the Initial
Purchasers, the issuance of the Conversion Shares or the consummation of the Transactions,
except (i) such as have been obtained and such as may be required under state securities or
“Blue Sky” laws or laws





-6-









 





	 	 	applicable in foreign jurisdictions (in relation to the purchase or
sale of the Securities in such foreign jurisdictions) in connection with the purchase and
resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers and the other Transactions, (ii) the
listing of the Conversion Shares on Nasdaq and (iii) the approval of the Company’s
stockholders of the issuance of the Conversion Shares.






	(o)	 	Except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum, there is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or
deficiency, or proceeding, domestic or foreign (collectively, “Proceedings”), pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, that either (i) seeks to restrain, enjoin,
prevent the consummation of or otherwise challenge any of the Documents or any of the
Transactions or (ii) would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company is not subject to any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.






	(p)	 	The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all licenses, permits, certificates,
consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and have made all declarations and
filings with, all Governmental Authorities presently required or necessary to own or lease, as
the case may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on their respective
businesses as now or proposed to be conducted as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package
and the Final Offering Memorandum (“Permits”), except where the failure to possess
such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; each
of the Company and its Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with
respect to such Permits and no event has occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of
time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material
impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit that would individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and none of the Company or its Subsidiaries has
received any notice of any proceeding relating to the revocation or modification of any such
Permit, except as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum or except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.






	(q)	 	Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to all real
property owned by it and good title to all personal property owned by it and good title to all
leasehold estates in real and personal property being leased by it and, as of the applicable
Closing Date, all such owned or leased real or personal property will be free and clear of all
Liens (other than Permitted Liens). All Applicable Agreements to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound are legal, valid and binding
obligations, other than as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum, and are enforceable against each of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable,
and are enforceable against the other party or parties thereto and are in full force and
effect with only such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.






	(r)	 	All Tax returns required to be filed by the Company and each of the Subsidiaries have
been filed and all such returns are true, complete, and correct in all material respects. All
material Taxes that are due from the Company and its Subsidiaries have been paid other than
those (i) currently payable without penalty or interest or (ii) being contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States, consistently
applied (“GAAP”). To the knowledge of the Company, after reasonable internal inquiry,
there are no actual or proposed Tax assessments against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The accruals and
reserves on the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of any
material Tax liability for any period not finally determined are adequate to meet any
assessments of Tax for any such period. For purposes of this





-7-









 





	 	 	Agreement, the term “Tax” and
“Taxes” shall mean all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and other assessments of a
similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest,
additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto.






	(s)	 	Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed under, and has the
right to use, all material patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how
(including trade secrets
and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or
procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) necessary for the conduct of its business and, as of the applicable Closing
Date, such Intellectual Property will be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted
Liens. No claims or notices of any potential claim have been asserted in writing by any
person challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries or questioning the validity or effectiveness of the Intellectual Property or
any license or agreement related thereto (other than any claims that would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). To the knowledge of the Company, the
use of such Intellectual Property by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries will not
infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any other person.






	(t)	 	The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) material transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) material transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to
maintain asset accountability, (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 the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any material differences. The Company’s independent auditors and board of
directors have been advised of: (i) all significant deficiencies, if any, in the design or
operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial data and (ii) all fraud, if any, whether or not
material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s
internal controls; all material weaknesses, if any, in internal controls have been identified
to the Company’s independent auditors; since the date of the most recent evaluation of such
disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, there have been no significant
changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses; the principal executive officers (or their equivalents) and principal
financial officers (or their equivalents) of the Company have made all certifications required
by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, including the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the statements contained in each such certification are complete and correct.






	(u)	 	The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain an effective system of “disclosure controls
and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to
ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company and the
Subsidiaries have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls
and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.






	(v)	 	The audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company
contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (the
“Financial Statements”) present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the
respective dates and for the respective





-8-









 





	 	 	periods to which they apply and have been prepared in
accordance with United States GAAP and the requirements of Regulation S-X of the Act. The
financial data set forth under “Summary Selected Financial Data” included in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum has been prepared on a basis consistent
with that of the Financial Statements and present fairly the consolidated financial position
and results of operations of the Company as of the respective dates and for the respective
periods indicated. All other financial, statistical, market and industry-related data
included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final
Offering Memorandum are fairly and accurately presented in all material respects and are
based on or derived from sources that the Company believes to be reliable and accurate.






	(w)	 	Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, except as disclosed in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, (i) neither the Company nor any of the
Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities, direct or contingent, that are material,
individually or in the aggregate, to the Company, or has entered into any transactions not in
the ordinary course of business, (ii) there has not been any material decrease in the capital
stock or any material increase in long-term indebtedness or any material increase in
short-term indebtedness of the Company or any payment of or declaration to pay any dividends
or any other distribution with respect to the Company, and (iii) there has not been any
material adverse change, or development involving a prospective material adverse change, in
the properties, business, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole in the aggregate (each of
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Material Adverse Change”). To the knowledge of the
Company after reasonable internal inquiry, there is no event that is reasonably likely to

retaining any rating assigned to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or to any securities
of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or (ii) has indicated to the Company that it is

and (v) neither the Company nor any Guarantor is otherwise insolvent under the standards set
forth in applicable laws.






	(z)	 	The Company has not and, to its knowledge after reasonable internal inquiry, no one
acting on its behalf (excluding for such purposes, the Initial Purchasers) has, (i) taken,

or that might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the
price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any compensation for soliciting
purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure
Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, paid or agreed to pay to any person any

the Securities to the Initial Purchasers and in the Exempt Resales) and (ii) that the

Securities and listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or quoted in a U.S.

any of its respective affiliates within the six-month period immediately prior to the date
hereof.






	(cc)	 	The shares of Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12b of the Exchange
Act and are listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Company has
taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of
the shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the shares of Common Stock from
Nasdaq. Except as described in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act
incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package or Final Offering Memorandum, the
Company has not received any notification that the SEC or Nasdaq is contemplating terminating
such registration or listing.

that the Company, the Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate sponsors or maintains, or with
respect to which it has (or within the last three years had) any obligation to make
contributions, and each such plan is in compliance in all material respects with the presently
applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in each case, except as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as
disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, neither the
Company, the Subsidiaries, nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any unpaid liability to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (other than for the payment of premiums in the ordinary
course) or to any such plan under Title IV of ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means a
corporation, trade or business that is, along with the Company or any Subsidiary, a member
of a controlled group of corporations or a controlled group of trades or businesses, as
described in Section 414 of the Code or Section 4001 of ERISA.

(vii) there is no employment-related charge, complaint, grievance, investigation, unfair labor
practice claim, or inquiry of any kind, pending against the Company or the Subsidiaries that
could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; (viii) to the
knowledge of the Company, after reasonable internal inquiry, no employee or agent of the
Company or the Subsidiaries has committed any act or omission giving rise to liability for any
violation identified in subsection (vi) and (vii) above, other than such acts or omissions
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (ix) no
term or condition of employment exists through arbitration awards, settlement agreements, or
side agreement that is contrary to the express terms of any applicable collective bargaining
agreement.






	(gg)	 	None of the Transactions or the application by the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries of the proceeds of the Securities will violate or result in a violation of

giving effect to the Offering





-11-









 





	 	 	and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds
thereof as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, will
be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act.






	(ii)	 	The Company has not engaged any broker, finder, commission agent or other person
(other than the Initial Purchasers) in connection with the Offering or any of the transactions
contemplated in the Documents, and the Company is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s
fee or commission in connection with such transactions (other than commissions or fees to the
Initial Purchasers).






	(jj)	 	Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is (i) in compliance with any and all
applicable foreign, provincial, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to
health and safety, or the pollution or the protection of the environment or hazardous or toxic
substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) has
received and is in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them
under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct its respective businesses and (iii) has not
received notice of, and is not aware of, any actual or potential liability for damages to
natural resources or the investigation or remediation of any disposal, release or existence of
hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, in each case except where
such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive and comply with required
permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries
has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or any similar state or local
or foreign or provincial Environmental Laws or regulations requiring the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to investigate or remediate any pollutants or contaminants, except where such
requirements would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect,
whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.






	(kk)	 	In the ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effects
of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for
clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license
or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to
third parties). On the basis of such review and the indemnification for certain costs and
liabilities that the Company or its Subsidiaries is entitled to receive from the Company’s
former parent company, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s
business, operations or earnings.






	 	 	The Company reviewed the effects of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and
properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and has identified and evaluated associated
costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures
required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any
permit arising from the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ or any predecessors’ or formerly
owned or operated properties or license or approval, any related constraints on operating
activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). Based on such review, the
Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s business,
operations or earnings.






	(ll)	 	As of the applicable Closing Date, except as provided in the Credit Agreement and
the Indenture and as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum, as of the applicable Closing Date, there will be no encumbrances or restrictions
(other than under

applicable law) on the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company (x) to pay
dividends or make other distributions on such Subsidiary’s capital stock or to pay any
indebtedness to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company, (y) to make loans or
advances or pay any indebtedness to, or investments in, the Company or any other Subsidiary of
the Company or (z) to transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other
Subsidiary of the Company.






	(mm)	 	Each certificate signed by any officer of the Company, or any Subsidiary thereof,
delivered to the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the
Company or any such Subsidiary thereof (and not individually by such officer) to the Initial
Purchasers with respect to the matters covered thereby.






	(nn)	 	Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries 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 they are engaged. All policies of insurance insuring the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers
and directors are in full force and effect. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in
compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects, and there
are no material claims by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under any such policy or
instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a
reservation of rights clause. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused
any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary
has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as
and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.






	(oo)	 	There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company and the Subsidiaries or
any of the officers and directors of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, in their
capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations in connection therewith.






	(pp)	 	(i) The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) and (ii) the Company’s
“disclosure controls and procedures” are reasonably designed to ensure that all information
(both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that
it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations thereunder, and that all such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company required under the Exchange
Act with respect to such reports.

incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum
and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of
March 20, 2009, who audited the 2009 and 2010 financial statements incorporated by reference
in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum are independent public
accountants as required by the Act and the regulations promulgated under the Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.






	(rr)	 	No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act and
Section 21E of the Exchange Act) or presentation of market-related or statistical data
contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum has been made or
reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed in other than good faith.

	(ss)	 	The Company has not taken or omitted to take any action and will not take any action
or omit to take any action (such as issuing any press release or making any other public
announcement referring to the Offering without an appropriate stabilization legend) which may
result in the loss by the Initial Purchasers of the ability to rely on any stabilization safe
harbour provided by the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom under the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”); such representation and warranty only to
apply if any such stabilization safe harbor is, or was to become, applicable to the issuance
of the Notes and on the basis that at the date of this Agreement no such safe harbor is
available; provided, however, that an appropriate stabilization legend was not in the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Pricing Term Sheet. The Company has been informed of
the guidance relating to stabilization provided
by the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom, in particular the guidance
contained in Section MAR 2 of the Financial Services Handbook.






	(tt)	 	Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer,
agent, employee or Subsidiary of the Company is aware of or has taken any action, directly or
indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the
“FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or
instrumentality of U.S. interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment,
promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise
to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as
such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any
candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and the Company and its
Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses in compliance in all material respects with the
FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which
are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

fees or charges required to be paid in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement on the issuance or sale by the Company of the Notes.






	(ww)	 	The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010
and all subsequent documents filed under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act filed after the date of this Agreement, incorporated by reference into the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (the “Incorporated Information”),
complies or will comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the
Exchange Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Incorporated
Information does not and will not (as amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented)
contain any 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 circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of
the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering
statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related
or similar rules, regulations or guidelines issued, administered or enforced by any

indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available
such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the
purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions
administered by OFAC.

has executed and delivered to the Representatives a lock-up agreement in the form of
Exhibit B hereto (a “Lock-up Agreement”). Exhibit D hereto contains a
true, complete and correct list of all directors and officers of the Company. All directors
and executive officers who are required pursuant to this Agreement to execute and deliver a
Lock-up Agreement are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Locked-up Persons.”





          5. Covenants of the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Company and the
Guarantors jointly and severally agrees:





	(a)	 	To (i) advise the Initial Purchasers promptly after obtaining knowledge (and, if
requested by the Initial Purchasers, confirm such advice in writing) of (A) the issuance by
any state securities commission of any stop order suspending the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Securities for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation of any proceeding for such purpose by any state securities commission or other
regulatory authority, or (B) the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material
fact made in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Communication, or
the Final Offering Memorandum, untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or
changes in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Communication, or
the Final Offering Memorandum, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) use its commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or order suspending the qualification or

to any such written communication to which the Initial Purchasers reasonably object.






	(d)	 	So long as the Initial Purchasers shall hold any of the Securities, (i) if any event
shall occur as a result of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Initial
Purchasers, it becomes necessary or advisable to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure
Package or the Final Offering Memorandum 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 to
amend or supplement the
Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with Applicable Law,
to prepare, at the expense of the Company, an appropriate amendment or supplement to the

that in no event shall the Company be responsible for the fees, disbursements or out-of-pocket

charges,

of the Act or (iii) engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S,
and all such persons will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.






	(n)	 	During the one year period after the Initial Closing Date, to not, and to not permit
any current or future Subsidiaries of either the Company or any other affiliates (as defined
in Rule 144A under the Act) controlled by the Company to, resell any of the Securities which
constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 that have been reacquired by the Company,
any current or future Subsidiaries or any other “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144A under
the Act) controlled by the Company, except pursuant to an effective registration statement

any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing
authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of the Securities, the sale thereof
to the Initial Purchasers and the issuance of Conversion Shares.






	(p)	 	To deliver to the Initial Purchasers on and as of the applicable Closing Date
satisfactory evidence of the good standing of the Company and the Guarantors in their
respective jurisdictions of organization and the good standing of the Company and its

Company shall cause each such person, prior to or contemporaneously with their appointment or

Representatives a Lock-up Agreement.






	(t)	 	Except as provided for in Section 3(c), the Company will not, during the period
ending 90 days after the Initial Closing Date (as the same may be extended as described below,
the “Company Lock-up Period”), without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which
consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives), directly or
indirectly, sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), offer, contract or grant any
option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” within the

-18-









 






	 	 	however, that the Company may
issue shares of Common Stock or options to purchase shares of Common Stock, or issue shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of options, pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other
stock plan or arrangement described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum, but only if the holders of such shares, options, or shares issued upon exercise of
such options, to the extent that such holders are Locked-up Persons, agree in writing not to
sell, offer, dispose of or otherwise transfer any such shares or options during such Company
Lock-up Period without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be
withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
(i) during the last 17 days of the Company Lock-up Period, the Company issues an earnings
release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs and is publicly
disclosed or otherwise becomes publicly known or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Company
Lock-up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day
period beginning on the last day of the Company Lock-up Period, then in each case the Company
Lock-up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the
date of the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the
material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in
writing, such extension (which waiver may be withheld at the sole discretion of the
Representatives), except that such extension will not apply if, (i) within three business
days prior to the 15th calendar day before the last day of the Company Lock-up Period, the

Officer of the Company, certifying on behalf of the Company that (i) the Conversion Shares
are “actively traded securities” (as defined in Regulation M), (ii) the Company meets the

manner contemplated by NASD Conduct Rule 2711(f)(4), and (iii) the provisions of NASD
Conduct Rule 2711(f)(4) are not applicable to any research reports relating to the Company
published or distributed by any of the Initial Purchasers during the 15 days before or after
the last day of the Company Lock-up Period (before giving effect to such extension). The
Company will provide the Representatives with prior notice of any such announcement that
gives rise to an extension of the Company Lock-up Period.





          6. Representations and Warranties of the Initial Purchasers. Each of the Initial
Purchasers represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:





	(a)	 	It is a QIB as defined in Rule 144A under the Act, and it will offer the Securities
for resale only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.






	(b)	 	It will solicit offers to buy the Securities only from, and will offer and sell the
Securities only to, (A) persons reasonably believed by the Initial Purchasers to be QIBs or

to in Regulation S under the Act and in compliance with laws applicable to such persons in
jurisdictions outside of the United States; provided, however, that in
purchasing such Securities, such persons are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided
under the caption “Notice to Investors” contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Offering Memorandum.






	(c)	 	No form of general solicitation or general advertising in violation of the Act has
been or will be used nor will any offers in any manner involving a public offering within the
meaning of Section 4(2) of the Act or, with respect to Securities to be sold in reliance on

and the Final Offering Memorandum.
	 
	(e)	 	On or after the date hereof and on or prior to the applicable Closing Date, (i) there

any review (or of any potential or intended review) for a possible change that does not
indicate the direction of the possible change in, any rating of the Company or any securities
of the Company (including, without limitation, the placing of any of the foregoing ratings on
credit watch with negative or developing implications or under review with an uncertain
direction) by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is
defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, (ii) there shall not have occurred any
negative change, nor shall any notice have been given of any potential or intended negative
change, in the outlook for any rating of the Company or any securities of the Company by any

each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
of any kind to which the Initial Purchasers, their affiliates, directors, officers and

other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including
in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), insofar as any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon:




-22-









 












	 	(i)	 	any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company
Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or
supplement thereto);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Communication
or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any breach by the Company or any of the Guarantors of their respective
representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein or breach of applicable
law;






	 	 	and, subject to the provisions hereof, will reimburse, as incurred, the Initial Purchasers,
their affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each such controlling person for any
legal or other expenses incurred by the Initial Purchasers or such controlling person in
connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof;
provided, however, the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any
such case to the extent (but only to the extent) that a court of competent jurisdiction
shall have determined by a final, unappealable judgment that such loss, claim, damage or
liability resulted solely from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure
Package, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum or
any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Furnished
Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the
Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have to the indemnified parties.






	(b)	 	Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each of the Company and the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as a court of competent jurisdiction shall have
determined by a final, unappealable judgment that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) have resulted solely from (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Offering Memorandum or any amendment or
supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated in any Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent (but
only to the extent) that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Furnished Information
furnished by such Initial Purchaser; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately
preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses incurred by
the Company, each of the Guarantors or any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. Each of
the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial
Purchasers have furnished to the Company or its agents specifically for use in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto,
is the Furnished Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties.




-23-









 












	(c)	 	As promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification under this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in writing; but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any
obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 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 elect, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however,
that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified
party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in any such
action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified
party shall have concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may
be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after receipt by the
indemnifying party of notice of the institution of such action, then, in each such case, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such
indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not
be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses,
other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it
being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall
not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local
counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, designated by the
Initial Purchasers in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 8 or the Company in the case
of paragraph (b) of this Section 8, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph
(a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions), (ii) the
indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified
party at the expense of the indemnifying party or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have
employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party
within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases
the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall
be paid as they are incurred. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any
settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the prior written consent
of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such
indemnified party waived in writing its rights under this Section 8, in which case the
indemnified party may effect such a settlement without such consent.




-24-









 












	(d)	 	No indemnifying party shall be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of any
claim or action (or threatened claim or action) effected without its written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if a claim or action is settled with its written
consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff with respect to any such claim or
action, each indemnifying party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and
limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and legal and other expenses as
set forth above) incurred by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party, or
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement
(A) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnified party, in form and substance
satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.






	(e)	 	In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable
contributions, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the
Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by
applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand,
in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The
relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the
other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the
Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and
commissions received by the Initial Purchasers. The relative fault of the parties 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, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other
hand, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission or alleged statement or omissions, and any other
equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.






	(f)	 	The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution determined pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph (e) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph (e). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 8, the Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to make
contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts, commissions and
other compensation received by such Initial Purchasers under this Agreement, less the
aggregate amount of any damages that such Initial Purchasers have otherwise been required to
pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements or the omissions or alleged omissions
to state a material fact. 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 Initial Purchasers’ obligation to
contribute hereunder shall be several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations
hereunder and not joint. For purposes of the immediately preceding




-25-









 






	 	 	paragraph (e), each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Initial Purchasers, and each director of the Company and the Guarantors,
each officer of the Company and the Guarantors and each person, if any, who controls either
of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the
Guarantors.





          9. Termination. The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement at any time prior
to the applicable Closing Date by written notice to the Company if any of the following has
occurred:





	(a)	 	since the date hereof, any Material Adverse Effect or development involving or
expected to result in a prospective Material Adverse Effect that could, in the
Representatives’ sole judgment, be expected to (i) make it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Offering Memorandum, or (ii) materially impair the investment quality of
any of the Securities;






	(b)	 	the failure of the Company or the Guarantors to satisfy the conditions contained in
Section 7(a) hereof on or prior to the applicable Closing Date;






	(c)	 	any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity
or crisis, including acts of terrorism, or material adverse change or disruption in economic
conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United States (it being understood that any
such change or disruption shall be relative to such conditions and markets as in effect on the
date hereof), if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis, act or material
adverse change in the economic conditions in, or in the financial markets of, the United
States could be reasonably expected to make it, in the Representatives’ sole judgment,
impracticable or inadvisable to market or proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the
Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Memorandum or to
enforce contracts for the sale of any of the Securities;






	(d)	 	trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the SEC or Nasdaq
or the suspension or limitation of trading generally in securities on the New York Stock
Exchange or Nasdaq or any setting of limitations on prices for securities on any such
exchange;






	(e)	 	the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation after the date hereof of any
Applicable Law that in the Initial Purchasers’ counsel’s sole opinion materially and adversely
affects, or could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect, the properties,
business, prospects, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;






	(f)	 	any securities of the Company shall have been downgraded or placed on any “watch
list” for possible downgrading by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,”
as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act;






	(g)	 	the representation and warranty contained in the first sentence of Section 4(a) of
this Agreement is incorrect in any way; or






	(h)	 	the declaration of a banking moratorium by any Governmental Authority; or the taking

          10. Survival of Representations and Indemnities. The representations and warranties,
covenants, indemnities and contribution and expense reimbursement provisions and other agreements,
representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, and will survive, regardless of
(i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial
Purchasers, (ii) acceptance of the Securities, and payment for them hereunder, and (iii) any
termination of this Agreement.




          11. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. If, on the applicable Closing Date, any one of the
Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to
purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such
defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one tenth of
the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial
Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities
set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate
principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non defaulting Initial
Purchasers to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed or
refused to purchase on such date. If, on the applicable Closing Date any Initial Purchaser shall
fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such
date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is
more than one tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date,
and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company for the
purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or of the Company.
Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from
liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.




          12. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers
are acting solely in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities. The Company further
acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created
solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties
intend that the Initial Purchasers act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company, its
management, stockholders, creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the
Initial Purchasers may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the
Securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Initial Purchasers hereby expressly
disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company, either in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the
Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Company and the Initial
Purchasers agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with
respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Initial Purchasers
to the Company regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views
with respect to the price or market for the Securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations
to the Company. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that the Company may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or
alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall

	Optional Redemption:

	 	The Issuer may not redeem the Notes prior to March 1, 2015. 
	 
	 

	 	On or after March 1, 2015, the Issuer may redeem for cash all or part of the
Notes but only if the last reported sale price of the Issuer’s common stock
for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending
on the trading day prior to the date the Issuer provides the notice of
redemption exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading
day. The redemption price will equal the sum of 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole premium” payment in
cash, shares of the Issuer’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares
of the Issuer’s common stock, at the Issuer’s option, equal to the sum of the

	 	On or after March 1, 2018, the Issuer may redeem for cash all or a portion of

Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including
contingent interest and additional interest, if any) to, but not including,
the option repurchase date.
	 
	 	 
	Fundamental 

Changes:

	 	If the Issuer undergoes a fundamental change, holders may require the Issuer

repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest
and additional interest, if any) to, but not including, the fundamental change
repurchase date.
	 
	 	 
	Ranking:

	 	The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer. The Notes and
the subsidiary guarantees will rank: (1) equally in right of payment with all
of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured
indebtedness; (2) effectively junior in right of payment to all of the
Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness,
including any borrowings under the Issuer’s credit facilities and the Issuer’s
senior secured notes, to the extent of the asset securing such indebtedness;
(3) effectively junior to all of the liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries
that have not guaranteed the Notes; and (4) senior in right of payment to any
future subordinated indebtedness of the Issuer and the Issuer’s guarantors.

	Adjustment to Conversion
Rate upon a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change:

	 	The number of additional shares by which the applicable conversion rate for
the Notes will be increased for conversions in connection with a make-whole
fundamental change will be determined by reference to the table below, based
on the date on which such make-whole fundamental change occurs or becomes
effective (the “effective date”) and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per
share of common stock in such make-whole fundamental change (the “stock
price”).
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The stock prices set forth in the first row of the table below (i.e., column
headers) will be adjusted as of any date on which the conversion rate of the
Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted stock prices will equal the stock
prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the conversion rate in effect immediately
prior to the adjustment giving rise to the stock price adjustment, and the
denominator of which is the conversion rate as so adjusted. The number of
additional shares will be adjusted in the same manner as the conversion rate
as set forth under “Description of Notes—Conversion rate adjustments.”
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The following table sets forth the hypothetical stock price and the number of
additional shares to be received per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes:

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in
which case:





	•	 	if the stock price is between two stock price amounts in the table or the effective
date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be
determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set
forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the earlier and later dates, as
applicable, based on a 365-day year;
	 
	•	 	if the stock price is greater than $90.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no
additional shares will be added to the conversion rate; and
	 
	•	 	if the stock price is less than $20.52 per share (subject to adjustment), no
additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.





Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes exceed 48.7329 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes,
subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under the
heading “Description of Notes—Conversion rate adjustments.”

You should rely on the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, as supplemented by this pricing term sheet, in making an investment decision
with respect to the Notes.




Each of this pricing term sheet and the Preliminary Offering Memorandum do not offer to sell or ask
for offers to buy any Notes in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to do so, where the person
making the offer is not qualified to do so, or to any person who cannot legally be offered the
Notes.




The offer and sale of the Notes and any common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes has
not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
jurisdiction. As a result, the Notes and any common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes
may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws.
Accordingly, the initial purchasers are offering the Notes only to “qualified institutional buyers”
(as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”)) in reliance on the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP




     1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware. Each Covered Guarantor is a corporation or limited liability company, as the
case may be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.



     2. The Company and each Covered Guarantor has full corporate power and authority to conduct
its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and
to take and has duly taken all action necessary under their respective governing instruments to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each Transaction Document to which it is a
party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.



     3. The Purchase Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and each Covered Guarantor.



     4. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each
Covered Guarantor and, assuming that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of
the Trustee, is a legally valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Covered Guarantors,
enforceable against the Company and each Covered Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution
thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or
enforceability of any provision of the Indenture that requires or relates to the payment of any
interest at a rate or in an amount which a court would determine in the circumstances under
applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture.



     5. The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming
the due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture
and payment and delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Notes will be
legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law
or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited
by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of
any provision of the Notes that requires or relates to the payment of any interest at a rate or in
an amount which a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be
commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture.



     6. The Guarantees been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Covered Guarantors and,
assuming the due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture and payment and delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the
Guarantees will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against
the Guarantors in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity) and



A-1









 





except that rights to indemnification and contribution
thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.




     7. The Conversion Shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Notes have been duly
authorized and reserved and, assuming no change in relevant facts, when issued upon conversion of
the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and the issuance of the Conversion Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or
similar rights under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
Amended and Restated Bylaws or under Delaware law.



     8. To our knowledge, the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is
as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption
“Capitalization” (except for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to reservations, agreements,
or employee benefits plans referred to in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum or pursuant to the exercise of convertible securities or options referred to in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum). To our knowledge, each of the
outstanding shares of capital stock and membership interests, as the case may be, of the Company
and the Covered Guarantors have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
non-assessable, and to our knowledge, were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar
rights, and to our knowledge, the outstanding shares of capital stock and membership interests, as
the case may be, of the Covered Guarantors are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or
the Covered Guarantors, as the case may be, free and clear of all security interests, liens,
encumbrances, equities and claims or restrictions on transferability (other than those imposed by
the Act and the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of certain domestic or foreign jurisdictions) or
voting (other than Permitted Liens).



     9. The Securities are in the form contemplated by the Indenture. The Securities, when
executed and delivered by the Company and the Covered Guarantors in accordance with the terms of
the Indenture (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the
Trustee and due authentication and delivery of such guarantees by the Trustee in accordance with
the Indenture), will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.



     10. When executed and delivered, the Transaction Documents will conform in all material
respects to the descriptions thereof in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum.



     11. To our knowledge, no Proceeding is pending or threatened against or affecting the Company
or any of the Covered Guarantors that (i) seeks to or does restrain, enjoin, prevent the
consummation of or otherwise questions the validity or legality of the Transaction Documents or
any of the transactions contemplated therein, or (ii) could, singly or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, neither the Company,
nor any Covered Guarantor, is subject to any judgment, order, decree, rule or regulation of any
Governmental Authority that could, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.



     12. The execution and delivery by the Company and each Covered Guarantor of each Transaction
Document to which it is a party does not, and the performance by each of the Company and the
Covered Guarantors of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the
Securities to the Initial Purchasers, and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the
issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion thereof), will not (i) conflict with, or result
in a violation or breach of, any of the provisions of the Charter Documents of the Company or any
Covered Guarantor; (ii) conflict with or violate any United States federal or state law, rule or regulation to be
applicable to the Company or any Covered Guarantor, or any order, judgment or decree known to us
to be applicable to the

Company, any Covered Guarantor or the Transaction Documents or by which
any property or asset of the Company or any Covered Guarantor is or may be bound; or (iii)
conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, any of the material terms or provisions of,
or constitute a default (with or without due notice and/or lapse of time) under (A) any loan or
credit agreement, indenture (including, without limitation, the Indenture), mortgage, note or
other material agreement or instrument known to us to which the Company or any Covered Guarantor
is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets is or may be bound or (B) any
material agreement or instrument listed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on the Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2010 of the Company, except in the case of (ii) or (iii) above, where
such breach, conflict, violation or default would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.




     13. No Governmental Authorization (as defined below) or consent, approval authorization or
order of any third party, is required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities
to the Initial Purchasers, the execution, delivery or performance by the Company or the Covered
Guarantors of any Transaction Document to which it is a party or for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including the issuance of the Conversion
Shares upon conversion thereof), except such as have been obtained and such as may be required
under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws in connection with the purchase and resale of the
Securities by the Initial Purchasers.



     “Governmental Authorization” means any judgment, order or decree, consent, authorization,
approval, order, exemption, registration, qualification or other action of, or filing with or
notice to any Governmental Authority.



     14. The statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under
the captions “Description of Notes” and “Description of Certain Indebtedness,” to the extent that
such information constitutes a summary of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to
therein, fairly present in all material respects such legal matters, documents and proceedings.
The statements under the caption “Material United States Federal Tax Considerations,” in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, insofar as such statements summarize
certain federal income and estate tax laws of the United States, constitute a fair summary of the
principal U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the Securities



     15. No registration under the Act of the Securities is required in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers as contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement and the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or in connection
with the initial resale of the Securities by any Initial Purchaser in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement, and the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the TIA, assuming (i) (A) that
the purchasers who buy the Securities in the initial resale thereof are “qualified institutional
buyers” as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Act, (B) institutional “accredited
investors” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act or (C) that the offer or
sale of the Securities is made in an offshore transaction as defined in Regulation S; and (ii) the
accuracy of each Initial Purchaser’s representations in Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement and
those of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement regarding the absence of a general
solicitation in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers and the
initial resale thereof.



     16. The issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities as contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement does not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.



     17. The documents incorporated by reference in the Final Offering Memorandum (other than the
financial statements and supporting schedules and the other financial data included therein or
omitted



A-3









 





therefrom, as to which we express no opinion), when they were filed with the SEC, complied
as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.



     18. Neither the Company nor any Covered Guarantor is and, after giving effect to the offering
and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds
therefrom as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, will be an “investment company” (as
defined in the Investment Company Act) or a subsidiary thereof.




     19. The Indenture complies with the TIA.

Company notifies the Representatives in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the
Offering or (ii) if the Purchase Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive
termination) shall terminate or be terminated for any reason prior to payment for and delivery of
the Securities to be sold thereunder, this Agreement shall immediately be terminated and the
undersigned shall automatically be released from all of his or her obligations under this
Agreement.



Yours very truly,

EXHIBIT C




FORM OF OPINION OF

PENNSYLVANNIA COUNSEL




     1. TB Wood’s Incorporated (“TB Wood’s”) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.



     2. TB Wood’s has corporate power and authority to conduct its businesses as described in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and to take, and has duly taken, all
action necessary under its respective governing instruments to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of each Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby, and has duly executed and delivered each Document to which it is a party.



     3. Each Document to which TB Wood’s is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of TB Wood’s, enforceable against TB Wood’s in accordance with its terms.



     4. Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock of TB Wood’s has been duly authorized and
validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable and, to our knowledge, was not issued in violation
of any preemptive or similar rights and is owned, to our knowledge, directly or indirectly, by the
Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, free and clear of all security interests (that can
be perfected by filing under Division 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania), liens, encumbrances, equities and claims or restrictions on
transferability (other than those imposed by the Act and the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of
certain domestic or foreign jurisdictions) or voting (other than Permitted Liens).



     5. No Governmental Authorization (as defined below) or consent, approval authorization or
order of any third party, is required for the execution, delivery or performance by TB Wood’s of
any Document to which it is a party or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Documents, except such as have been obtained and such as may be required under state securities or
“Blue Sky” laws in connection with the purchase and resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchaser,



     6. The choice of New York law to govern the construction and interpretation of the Documents
is a valid and effective choice of law under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
adherence to existing judicial precedents under Pennsylvania law would require courts sitting in
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to abide by such choice of law, provided that such courts would
find that the laws of the State of New York, as so applied, are not contrary to the public policy
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.



     7. The execution and delivery by TB Wood’s of each Document to which it is a party does not,
and the performance by TB Wood’s of its obligations thereunder, and the transactions contemplated
thereby, will not (i) result in a violation or breach of, (A) any of the provisions of the Charter
Documents of TB Wood’s, (B) any provisions of any Commonwealth of Pennsylvania statute, rule or
regulation known to us to be applicable to TB Wood’s, or (C) violate any judgment or order of any
Pennsylvania governmental authority known to us and binding upon TB Wood’s.
