Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation
Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
as Representatives of the Initial Purchasers
c/o  Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation
         Eleven Madison Avenue
         New York, New York 10010-3629

Dear Sirs:

          IESI Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "ISSUER"), proposes to
issue and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Salomon Smith Barney
Inc., Fleet Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (collectively, the
"INITIAL PURCHASERS"), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement of even
date herewith (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), $150,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of its 10 1/4 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the "INITIAL
SECURITIES") to be guaranteed (the "GUARANTIES") by the subsidiaries of the
Company identified on Schedule A hereto, the "GUARANTORS" and, collectively with
the Issuer, the "COMPANY"). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an
Indenture, dated as of June 12, 2002 (the "INDENTURE"), among the Issuer, the
Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE").
As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement,
the Company and the Guarantors agree with you, for the benefit of the Initial
Purchasers and the holders of the Securities (as defined below) (collectively
the "HOLDERS"), as follows:

          1.   REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER. Unless not permitted by applicable
law, the Company and the Guarantors shall prepare and, not later than 75 days
(such 75th day being a "FILING DEADLINE") after the date on which the Initial
Purchasers purchase the Initial Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
(the "CLOSING DATE"), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") a registration statement (the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "SECURITIES ACT"), with respect to a proposed offer (the "REGISTERED
EXCHANGE OFFER") to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in
Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission
from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to
such Holders, in exchange for the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal
amount of debt securities of the Company issued under the Indenture, identical
in all material respects to the Initial Securities and registered under the
Securities Act (the "EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Company and the Guarantors shall
use their best efforts to (i) cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement
to become effective under the Securities Act within 180 days after the Closing
Date (such 180th day being an "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") and (ii) keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or
longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered
Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the "EXCHANGE
OFFER REGISTRATION PERIOD").

          If the Company and the Guarantors commence the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Company and the Guarantors (i) will be entitled to consummate the
Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after such commencement (provided that the
Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in
accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer) and (ii) will be
required to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer no later than 40 days after
the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared
effective (such 40th day being the "CONSUMMATION DEADLINE").

<Page>

          Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall promptly commence
the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered
Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities electing
to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such
Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder's
business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or
policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to
trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any
limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material
restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United
States.

          The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that, pursuant to current
interpretations by the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in
the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a
broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own
account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for
Exchange Securities (an "EXCHANGING DEALER"), is required to deliver a
prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the
cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures" section and the
"Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the "Plan of
Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such
Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell
Securities (as defined below) acquired in exchange for Initial Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, is required to deliver a
prospectus containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.

          The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts
to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and
supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus
to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must
comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial
Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all
Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities
held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and
(ii) the Company and the Guarantors shall make such prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with
any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days
after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.

          If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial
Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial
distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to
such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in
exchange (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE") for the Initial Securities held by such
Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company
issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including
with respect to the Guarantees thereof) to the Initial Securities (the "PRIVATE
EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the
Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the "SECURITIES".

          In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company and the
Guarantors shall:

               (a)      mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming
          part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
          appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

               (b)      keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less
          than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date
          notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;

                                        2
<Page>

               (c)      utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered
          Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
          of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;

               (d)      permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any
          time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last
          business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open;
          and

               (e)      otherwise comply with all applicable laws.

          As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange
Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company and the
Guarantors shall:

               (x)      accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered
          and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the
          Private Exchange;

               (y)      deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial
          Securities so accepted for exchange; and

               (z)      cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly
          to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or
          Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal
          amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for
          exchange.

          The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be
subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the
Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that
none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class
separate from one another on any matter.

          Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security
issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange
will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on
the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has
been paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the
Initial Securities.

          Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that at the time of the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities
received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business,
(ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities
within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an
"affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if
it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if
such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not
intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such
Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own
account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be
required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any
resale of such Exchange Securities.

          Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and the
Guarantors will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and
any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement
thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and
any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
(iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact

                                        3
<Page>

required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

          2.   SHELF REGISTRATION. If, (i) because of any change in law or in
applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Company
and the Guarantors are not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as
contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not
consummated by the 220th day after the Closing Date, (iii) any Initial Purchaser
so requests in writing with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private
Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the
Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer)
is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case
of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the
Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable
Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange and any such Holder so requests
in writing the Company and the Guarantors shall take the following actions (the
date on which any of the conditions described in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iv) occur, including in the case of clauses (iii) or (iv) the receipt
of the required notice, being a "TRIGGER DATE"):

               (a)      The Company and the Guarantors shall promptly (but in no
          event more than 60 days after the Trigger Date (such 60th day being a
          "FILING DEADLINE")) file with the Commission and thereafter use their
          reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective no later
          than 180 days after the Trigger Date (such 180th day being an
          "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") a registration statement (the "SHELF
          REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and, together with the Exchange Offer
          Registration Statement, a "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate
          form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the
          Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof from time to
          time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the
          Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act
          (hereinafter, the "SHELF REGISTRATION"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
          Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled tohave the
          Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement
          unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions
          of this Agreement applicable to such Holder.

               (b)      The Company and the Guarantors shall use their
          reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
          continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included
          therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant
          Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if
          extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the date of its
          effectiveness or such shorter period that will terminate when all the
          Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been
          sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer restricted securities (as
          defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule
          thereof). The Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed not to have
          used their best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
          effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any
          action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not
          being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period,
          unless such action is required by applicable law.

               (c)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement
          to the contrary, the Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Shelf
          Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or
          supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
          Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material
          respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
          the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain
          any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
          fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
          statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading; with regard to clause (ii), it being
          understood that the Company and the Guarantor will not be so
          responsible for information provided by or on behalf of Holders of
          Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities.

                                        4

          3.   REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with any Shelf
Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any
Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following
provisions shall apply:

               (a)      The Company and the Guarantors shall (i) furnish to
          each Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the
          Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment
          thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included
          therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with respect to
          any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is
          participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf
          Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their
          reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so
          filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser
          reasonably may propose; (ii) include the information set forth in
          Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer
          Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section
          and in Annex C hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of the
          prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
          and include the information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter
          of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;
          (iii) if requested in writing by an Initial Purchaser, include the
          information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the
          Securities Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the
          Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include within the
          prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a
          section entitled "Plan of Distribution," reasonably acceptable to the
          Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the
          positions taken or policies made by the staff of the Commission with
          respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer
          that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
          Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of
          Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered
          Exchange Offer (a "PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER"), whether such
          positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of
          the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable
          judgment of the Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which
          may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff
          of the Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration
          Statement, include the names of the Holders who propose to sell
          Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement as selling
          securityholders.

               (b)      The Company and the Guarantors shall give written
          notice to the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and
          any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Company or any Guarantor
          has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating
          Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant
          to clauses (ii)-(vi) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to
          suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have
          been made, or the Company decides to resume the use of the prospectus,
          as the case may be):

                        (i)    when the Registration Statement or any amendment
               thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the
               Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
               has become effective;

                        (ii)   of any request by the Commission for amendments
               or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus
               included therein or for additional information;

                        (iii)  of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
               order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
               or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

                        (iv)   of the receipt by the Company, any Guarantor or
               their legal counsel of any notification with respect to the
               suspension of the qualification of the Securities for

                                        5
<Page>

               sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
               proceeding for such purpose; and

                        (v)    of the happening of any event that, in the good
               faith judgment of the Company, requires the Company to make
               changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order
               that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain
               an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a
               material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
               the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light
               of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

                        (vi)   of the Company choosing to suspend the use of
               the prospectus in good faith and for valid business reasons,
               provided that such suspension may not last for more than 90
               consecutive days and there shall be no more than one such
               suspension in any period of 360 consecutive days.

               (c)      The Company and the Guarantors shall make every
          reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible
          time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
          Statement.

               (d)      The Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to each
          Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf
          Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf
          Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto,
          including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so
          requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any,
          incorporated by reference).

               (e)      The Company and the Guarantors shall deliver to each
          Exchanging Dealer and each Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder
          who so requests in writing, without charge, at least one copy of the
          Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
          thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if any
          Initial Purchaser or any such Holder requests in writing, all exhibits
          thereto (including those incorporated by reference).

               (f)      The Company and the Guarantors shall, during the Shelf
          Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included
          within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many
          copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus)
          included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or
          supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request in writing.
          The Company and the Guarantors consent, subject to the provisions of
          this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or
          supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in
          connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the
          prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the
          Shelf Registration Statement.

               (g)      The Company and the Guarantors shall deliver to each
          Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating
          Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus
          following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many
          copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer
          Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
          persons may reasonably request in writing. The Company and the
          Guarantors consent, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to
          the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by
          any Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer
          and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the
          Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of
          the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or
          supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration
          Statement.

               (h)      Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant
          to any Registration Statement the Company and the Guarantors shall
          register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders

                                        6

          of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in
          connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities
          for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
          states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably
          requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary
          or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the
          Securities covered by such Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
          that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to (i)
          qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
          then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to
          general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it
          is not then so subject.

               (i)      The Company and the Guarantors shall cooperate with the
          Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and
          delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold
          pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends
          and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders
          may request in writing a reasonable period of time prior to sales of
          the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

               (j)      Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
          paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period
          for which the Company and the Guarantors are required to maintain an
          effective Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall
          promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the
          Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and
          any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to
          Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus
          will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
          state any 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. If the Company notifies the Initial
          Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating
          Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (vi) of
          Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the
          requisite changes to the prospectus have been made or the Company
          chooses to resume the use of the prospectus, as the case may be, then
          the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such
          Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and
          the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
          provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration
          Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by
          the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such
          notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the
          Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer
          shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant
          to this Section 3(j).

               (k)      Not later than the effective date of the applicable
          Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors will provide a
          CUSIP number for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or
          the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the
          applicable trustee with printed certificates for the Initial
          Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
          Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with
          The Depository Trust Company.

               (l)      The Company and the Guarantors will comply with all
          rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as
          they are applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf
          Registration and will make generally available to their security
          holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the
          Securities Act) a consolidated earnings statement satisfying the
          provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45
          days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is
          a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company's first
          fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration
          Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period.

               (m)      The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the
          Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
          amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as
          shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such
          qualification would require

                                        7
<Page>

          the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company and
          the Guarantors shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the
          applicable provisions of the Indenture.

               (n)      The Company and the Guarantors may require each Holder
          of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
          to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and
          the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to
          time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration
          Statement, and the Company and the Guarantors may exclude from such
          registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to
          furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such
          request.

               (o)      The Company and the Guarantors shall enter into such
          customary agreements (including, if requested, a single underwriting
          agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any,
          as Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities to be included
          in a Shelf Registration Statement or any Initial Purchaser shall
          reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
          Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

               (p)      In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company and
          the Guarantors shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by
          the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any
          disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and an
          attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the
          Securities or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other
          records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
          and its subsidiaries and (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors,
          employees, accountants and auditors, and those of its subsidiaries, to
          supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of
          the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent
          in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as
          shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a
          reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
          Securities Act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing inspection and
          information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial
          Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel
          designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in
          Section 4 hereof.

               (q)      In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company and
          the Guarantors, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered
          thereby, shall cause (i) their counsel to deliver an opinion and
          updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed
          to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and
          dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such
          Shelf Registration Statement; (ii) their officers to execute and
          deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof
          reasonably requested by any managing underwriters of the applicable
          Securities and (iii) their independent public accountants and the
          independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for
          which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration
          Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable
          Securities and any managing underwriter therefor a comfort letter in
          customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in
          comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings,
          subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and
          only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.

               (r)      If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange
          is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by
          Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the
          Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private
          Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or
          caused to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such
          Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange
          Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in
          no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise
          satisfied.

               (s)      The Company and the Guarantors will use commercially
          reasonable efforts to confirm that any ratings that were applied to
          the Initial Securities will apply to the Securities covered by a
          Registration Statement.

                                        8

               (t)      In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the
          Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a
          member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or "assist in the
          distribution" (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the "RULES")
          of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"))
          thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter,
          a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof,
          or otherwise, the Company and the Guarantors will assist such
          broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules,
          including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule
          2720, shall so require, engaging a "qualified independent underwriter"
          (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the
          Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual
          standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of
          the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an
          underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent,
          to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such
          qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification
          of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such
          information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such
          broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules.

               (u)      The Company and the Guarantors shall use their
          commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to
          effect the registration of the Securities covered by a Registration
          Statement contemplated hereby.

          4.   REGISTRATION EXPENSES.

          (a)  All expenses incident to the Company's performance of and
compliance and that of the Guarantors with this Agreement will be borne by the
Company and the Guarantors, regardless of whether a Registration Statement is
ever filed or becomes effective, including without limitation:

               (i)      all registration and filing fees and expenses;

               (ii)     all fees and expenses of compliance with federal
          securities and state "blue sky" or securities laws;

               (iii)    all expenses of printing (including printing
          certificates for the Securities to be issued in the Registered
          Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange and printing of Prospectuses),
          messenger and delivery services and telephone;

               (iv)     all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
          and the Guarantors; and

               (v)      all fees and disbursements of independent certified
          public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (including the
          expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or
          incident to such performance).

The Company and the Guarantors will bear their internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the
fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the
Company and the Guarantors.

          (b)  In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Initial Purchasers

Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable,

          5.   INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)  The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating
Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such
Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling
persons are referred to collectively as the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any
actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the
Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out
of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified
Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action in respect thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the Company
and the Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a
Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and
furnished to the Company or the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder
specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary
prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder
from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to
such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder under the Securities
Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of such Holder results from the fact that there was not sent or given
to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
Securities to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had
previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER,
that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The
Company and the Guarantors shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and
directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by
such Holders.

          (b)  Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any
actions in respect thereof, to which the Company and the Guarantors or any such
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a
Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such
Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically
for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately
preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company and the
Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company
and the Guarantors or any such controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in
respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company and the Guarantors or any of
the Company's controlling persons.

                                       10
<Page>

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a
governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the
indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (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 wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other
expenses. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; and (ii) the
indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party
shall have concluded upon the advice of counsel that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the
indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood and agreed that all fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the
indemnified party as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is a
party and indemnity had been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from
all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and does
not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties from the
offering of the Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities on the one hand
and the indemnified party on the other from receiving Initial Securities or
Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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
and the Guarantors on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified
party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of
this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the
Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages
which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to
contribute pursuant to this

                                       11
<Page>

Section 5 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations
hereunder and not joint. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if
any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

          (e)  The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale
of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          6.   ADDITIONAL INTEREST UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

          (a)  Additional interest (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST") with respect to
the Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur
(each such event in clauses (i) through (iv) below being herein called a
"REGISTRATION DEFAULT"):

               (i)      any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
          is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing
          Deadline;

               (ii)     any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
          is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
          applicable Effectiveness Deadline;

               (iii)    the Registered Exchange Offer has not been consummated
          on or prior to the Consummation Deadline; or

               (iv)     any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
          has been declared effective by the Commission but (A) such
          Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) such
          Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable
          in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during
          the periods specified herein that such registration statement is
          required to be effective because either (1) any event occurs as a
          result of which the related prospectus forming part of such
          Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a
          material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
          statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they
          were made not misleading, or (2) it shall be necessary to amend such
          Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply
          with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules
          thereunder.

Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason
for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the
control of the Company and the Guarantors or pursuant to operation of law or as
a result of any action or inaction by the Commission .

          Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities over and above the
interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including the date on
which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on
which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per
annum (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST RATE") for the first 90-day period immediately
following the occurrence of such Registration Default. The Additional Interest
Rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each
subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to
a maximum Additional Interest Rate of 1.5% per annum.

          (b)  A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iv) hereof
shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf
Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration
Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective
amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited
financial information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries where
such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared
effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material
events, with respect to the Company and the Guarantors that would need to be
described in such Shelf Registration Statement or

                                       12
<Page>

the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company and the
Guarantors are proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such
Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a
continuous period in excess of 90 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in
accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default
occurs until such Registration Default is cured.

          (c)  Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 6(a)
will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to
the Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by
multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the principal amount of
the Securities and further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days such Additional Interest Rate was applicable during such
period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months), and the denominator of which is 360.

          (d)  "TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES" means each Security until (i)
the date on which such Security has been exchanged by a person other than a
broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered
Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered
Exchange Offer of an Initial Security for an Exchange Note, the date on which
such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer
on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Security has
been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in
accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such
Security is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

          7.   RULES 144 AND 144A. The Company and the Guarantors shall use
their reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by them
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any
time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written
request of any Holder of Securities, make publicly available other information
so long as necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144
and 144A. The Company and the Guarantors covenant that they will take such
further action as any Holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule
144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective
purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the Company by the Initial
Purchasers upon written request. Upon the written request of any Holder of
Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement
as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to
register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

          8.   UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. If any of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers
that will administer the offering ("MANAGING UNDERWRITERS") will be selected by
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer
Restricted Securities to be included in such offering subject to the consent of
the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.

          9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)  REMEDIES. Subject to the following sentence, the parties hereto
agree that the additional interest provided for in Section 6 is intended to
constitute the sole monetary damages that may be collected by Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of any failure by the Company and the
Guarantors

                                       13
<Page>

to comply with their obligations under Sections 1 and 2 hereof. The Company and
the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that any failure by the Company and the
Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Sections 1 and 2 hereof may
result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders
for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to
measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such
failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be
required to specifically enforce the obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors under Sections 1 and 2 hereof. The Company and the Guarantors further
agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy
at law would be adequate.

          (b)  NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not on or after the
date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with
the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities under any
agreement in effect on the date hereof.

          (c)  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the Guarantors
and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or
consents.

          (d)  NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first-class mail,
facsimile transmission, or air courier which guarantees overnight delivery:

          (h)  HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

          (i)  GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO

          Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter
of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities
where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed
that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it
will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."

          Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own

acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make
this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until 200__, all dealers
effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a
prospectus.(1)

          The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time
in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a
combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time
of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated
prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through
brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or
concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange
Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker
or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or
concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by
acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act.

          For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will
promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents
in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the
Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers
or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

SALOMON SMITH BARNEY INC.,
As Representatives of the Several Purchasers,
   Eleven Madison Avenue,

Dear Sirs:

       1.     INTRODUCTORY. IESI Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to
issue and sell to the several initial purchasers named in Schedule A hereto (the
"PURCHASERS") U.S.$150,000,000 principal amount of its 10 1/4 % Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the "OFFERED NOTES") each to be issued under an
indenture, dated as of June 12, 2002 (the "INDENTURE"), among the Company, the
Guarantors (as defined below) and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. Each
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company set forth on Schedule B hereto (each a
"GUARANTOR" and collectively the "GUARANTORS") will guarantee the monetary
obligations of the Company under the Indenture, on an unsecured senior
subordinated basis (each, an "OFFERED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE"). The Offered Notes
and the Offered Subsidiary Guarantees are together referred to as the "OFFERED
SECURITIES". The United States Securities Act of 1933 is herein referred to as
the "SECURITIES ACT."

<Page>

       Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Offered Securities will
have the registration rights set forth in the registration rights agreement (the
"REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), to be dated the Closing Date (as defined
herein), in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto, for so long as such
Offered Securities constitute "TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES" (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will agree to file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") under the circumstances set forth
therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (the "EXCHANGE
OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT") relating to the exchange, for the Offered Notes,
of Notes (the "EXCHANGE NOTES") in a like aggregate principal amount as the
Company issued under the Indenture, guaranteed by the Guarantors (the "EXCHANGE
GUARANTEES") and together identical in all material respects to the Offered
Securities and registered under the Securities Act (the Exchange Notes, together
with the Exchange Guarantees, being called the "EXCHANGE SECURITIES" and such
offer to exchange being referred to as the "EXCHANGE OFFER") and (ii) a shelf
registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the "SHELF
REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, the "REGISTRATION STATEMENTS") relating to the resale by certain
holders of the Offered Securities and to use its reasonable best efforts to
cause such Registration Statements to be declared and remain effective and
usable for the periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement and to
consummate the Exchange Offer.

       The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree with the several Purchasers
as follows:

       2.     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 several Purchasers that:

              (a)    A preliminary offering circular and an offering circular
       relating to the Offered Securities to be offered by the Purchasers have
       been prepared by the Company and the Guarantors. Such preliminary
       offering circular (the "PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR") and offering
       circular (the "OFFERING CIRCULAR"), as supplemented as of the date of
       this Agreement, together with the documents listed in Schedule B hereto
       and any other document approved by the Company for use in connection with
       the contemplated resale of the Offered Securities are hereinafter
       collectively referred to as the "OFFERING DOCUMENT". The Offering
       Document, on the date of this Agreement, and the Offering Circular, on
       the Closing Date, do not include any untrue statement of a material fact
       or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
       necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
       circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The information
       required to be delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the
       Offered Securities pursuant to Section 404 of the Indenture in accordance
       with Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (the "ADDITIONAL ISSUER
       INFORMATION"), if any, does not include any untrue statement of a
       material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
       statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
       were made, not misleading. The preceding two sentences do not apply to
       (i) statements in or omissions from the Offering Document based upon
       written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser
       specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the
       only such information is that described as such in Section 7(b) hereof,
       and (ii) any statements in or omissions from the Preliminary Offering
       Circular that were corrected or included in the Offering Circular.

              (b)    The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing
       corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
       with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and
       conduct its business as described in the Offering Document; and the
       Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good
       standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of
       property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification,
       except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in
       the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial
       or other), prospects, business, properties or results of the Company and
       its subsidiaries taken as a whole ("MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").

                                        2

       the Offering Document; and each subsidiary of the Company is duly
       qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all
       other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the

       have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued and outstanding capital
       stock of each subsidiary of the Company has been duly authorized and
       validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and all of the
       capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company is owned by the Company,
       directly or through subsidiaries, free from liens, encumbrances and
       defects, other than under the company's Senior Credit Facility (as
       defined in the Offering Document).

       the Guarantors; the Offered Notes have been duly authorized by the
       Company; each Offered Subsidiary Guaranty has been duly authorized by the

              (g)    On the Closing Date, the Exchange Securities will have been
       duly authorized by the Company; each Exchange Guaranty will have been
       duly authorized by the relevant Guarantor; and when the Exchange
       Securities are issued, executed and authenticated in accordance with the
       terms of the Exchange Offer and the Indenture, the Exchange Securities
       will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be the valid

       enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
       insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
       laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights

       regulations of the Commission applicable to an indenture which is
       qualified thereunder.

              (i)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, there are no
       contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or any
       Guarantor and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against
       the Company or any Guarantor or any Purchaser for a brokerage commission,
       finder's fee or other like payment.

              (j)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, there are no

       more holders of the Company's capital stock (or any beneficial owners
       thereof) regarding the Company, the business of the Company or any of the
       Company's assets.

              (k)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, there are no
       contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company or any

       Guarantor or to require the Company or such Guarantor to include such
       securities with the Securities and Subsidiary Guarantees registered
       pursuant to any Registration Statement.

              (l)    No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing
       with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the
       consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the

              (m)    Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in
       violation of (i) its respective charter or by-laws or (ii) any statute,
       rule, regulation, decision or order of any governmental agency or body or
       any court, domestic or foreign, except, in the case of clause (ii), for

       reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
       Company nor any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates is in default in
       the performance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition
       contained in any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other

              (n)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
       and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the issuance and sale of the
       Offered Securities and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof

       regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court,
       domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any
       subsidiary of the Company or any of their properties, or (ii) any
       agreement or instrument to which the Company or any such subsidiary is a
       party or by which the Company or any such subsidiary is bound or to which
       any of the properties of the Company or any such subsidiary is subject,
       or (iii) the charter or by-laws or any other organizational document of
       the Company or any such subsidiary, except, in the case of clauses (i)
       and (ii), for such breaches, violations and defaults as would not,
       individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a
       Material Adverse Effect, and the Company has full power and authority to
       authorize, issue and sell the Offered Securities as contemplated by this
       Agreement.

              (o)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and

       and delivered, the Registration Rights Agreement will be a valid and
       binding agreement of the Company and each of the Guarantors, enforceable
       against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms,
       subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
       moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
       affecting

                                       4

       creditors' rights and to general equity principles. On the Closing Date,
       the Registration Rights Agreement will conform as to legal matters to the
       description thereof in the Offering Circular.

              (q)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, the Company
       and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real
       properties and all other properties and assets owned by them, in each
       case free from liens, encumbrances and defects that would materially
       affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to
       be made thereof by them; and except as disclosed in the Offering
       Document, the Company and its subsidiaries hold any leased real or
       personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions
       that would materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof
       by them.

              (r)    The Company and its subsidiaries possess adequate

       in obtaining such certificates, authorities or permits was, at the time
       furnished, complete and accurate in all material respects and the Company
       and its subsidiaries have not received any notice of proceedings relating
       to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or
       permit that, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its
       subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material
       Adverse Effect.

              (s)    No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any
       subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Guarantor,
       is imminent that might have a Material Adverse Effect.

       acquire on reasonable terms, adequate trademarks, trade names and other
       rights to inventions, know-how, patents, copyrights, confidential
       information and other intellectual property (collectively, "INTELLECTUAL
       PROPERTY RIGHTS") necessary to conduct the business now operated by them,
       or presently employed by them, and have not received any notice of
       infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect
       to any intellectual property rights that, if determined adversely to the
       Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in the
       aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

              (u)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, neither the
       Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation in any material
       respect of any statute, any rule, regulation, decision or order of any
       governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating
       to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or
       relating to the protection or restoration of the environment or human
       exposure to hazardous or toxic substances (collectively, "ENVIRONMENTAL
       LAWS"), owns or operates any real property contaminated with any
       substance that is subject to any environmental laws, is liable for any
       off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any environmental laws, or
       is subject to any claim relating to any environmental laws, which
       violation, contamination, liability or claim would individually or in the
       aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company is not aware of
       any pending investigation which might lead to such a claim.

              (v)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, there are no
       costs or liabilities associated with environmental law (including,
       without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for
       clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with environmental law or
       any permits, licenses, consents, exemptions, franchises, authorizations
       and other approvals of all governmental or regulatory authorities and
       self-regulatory organizations and all courts and other tribunals, any
       related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities
       to third parties) which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a
       Material Adverse Effect.

              (w)    There are no pending actions, suits or proceedings against
       or affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their

                                        5
<Page>

       to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in the
       aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and
       adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations
       under the Indenture, this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement,
       or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Offered
       Securities; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are, to the
       Company's knowledge, threatened or contemplated.

              (x)    The financial statements included in the Offering Document
       present fairly the financial position of the Company and its consolidated
       subsidiaries as of the dates shown and their results of operations and

       the Offering Document, such financial statements have been prepared in
       conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the
       United States applied on a consistent basis; and the assumptions used in
       preparing the pro forma financial statements included in the Offering
       Document provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant
       effects directly attributable to the transactions or events described
       therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to
       those assumptions, and the pro forma columns therein reflect the proper
       application of those adjustments to the corresponding historical
       financial statement amounts.

              (y)    Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, since the
       date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Offering
       Document there has been no material adverse change, nor any development
       or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
       condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of
       operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and,
       except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Offering Document, there
       has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made
       by the Company on any class of its capital stock.

              (z)    No "nationally recognized statistical rating organization"
       as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the
       Securities Act (i) has imposed (or has informed the Company or any
       Guarantor that it is considering imposing) any condition (financial or
       otherwise) on the Company's or any Guarantor's retaining any rating
       assigned to the Company or any Guarantor, any securities of the Company
       or any Guarantor or (ii) has indicated to the Company or any Guarantor
       that it is considering (a) the downgrading, suspension, or withdrawal of,
       or any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction
       of the possible change in, any rating so assigned or (b) any change in
       the outlook for any rating of the Company, any Guarantor or any
       securities of the Company or any Guarantor.

              (aa)   The Company is not an open-end investment company, unit
       investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is
       required to be registered under Section 8 of the United States Investment
       Company Act of 1940 (the "INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT"); and the Company is
       not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered
       Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in
       the Offering Document, will not be an "investment company" as defined in
       the Investment Company Act.

              (bb)   No securities of the same class (within the meaning of Rule
       144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act) as the Offered Securities are listed
       on any national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the
       United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("EXCHANGE ACT") or quoted
       in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

              (cc)   The Offered Securities satisfy the requirements set forth
       in Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act.

              (dd)   Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties
       of the Purchasers contained in Section 4 hereof and their compliance with
       the agreements set forth herein, the offer and sale of the Offered
       Securities in the manner contemplated by this Agreement will be exempt
       from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of
       Section 4(2) thereof and

                                        6

       person acting on its or their behalf (i) has, within the six-month period
       prior to the date hereof, offered or sold in the United States or to any

       or series as the Offered Securities or (ii) has offered or will offer or
       sell the Offered Securities (A) in the United States by means of any form

       securities sold in reliance on Rule 903 of Regulation S ("REGULATION S")
       under the Securities Act, by means of any directed selling efforts within
       the meaning of Rule 902(c) of Regulation S. The Company, its affiliates
       and any person acting on its or their behalf have complied and will
       comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. The
       Company has not entered and will not enter into any contractual
       arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Offered Securities

       agent thereof acting on the behalf of them has taken, and none of them
       will take, any action that might cause this Agreement or the issuance or
       sale of the Offered Securities to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or
       Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

              (gg)   No registration under the Securities Act of the Offered
       Securities is required for the sale of the Offered Securities to the
       Purchasers as contemplated hereby or for the resale of such Offered

       Section 4 hereof and their compliance with the agreements contained

and the Guarantors agree with the several Purchasers that:

              (a)    The Company and the Guarantors will advise CSFBC promptly
       of any proposal to amend or supplement the Offering Document and, except
       as contemplated by the next sentence, will not effect such amendment or
       supplementation without the consent of the Representatives. If, at any
       time prior to the completion of the resale of the Offered Securities by
       the Purchasers, any event occurs as a result of which the Offering
       Document as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue

       which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any such
       time to amend or supplement the Offering Document to comply with any
       applicable law, the Company and the Guarantors promptly will notify the
       Representatives of such event and promptly will prepare, at their own
       expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or
       omission or effect such compliance. Neither the Representatives' consent
       to, nor the Purchasers' delivery to offerees or investors of, any such
       amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the
       conditions set forth in Section 6.

              (b)    The Company and the Guarantors will furnish to the
       Representatives copies of the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Offering

       Document signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, one of which
       will include the independent accountants' reports therein manually signed
       by such independent accountants. At any time when the Company is not
       subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will

       upon written request, to each of the other Purchasers) and, upon written
       request of holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities,
       to such holders and purchasers, copies of the information required to be
       delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities
       pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor
       provision thereto) in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A in
       connection with resales by such holders of the Offered Securities under
       Rule 144A. the Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing
       to the Purchasers all such documents.

              (c)    The Company and the Guarantors will arrange for the
       qualification of the Offered Securities for sale and the determination of
       their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in
       the United States and Canada as the Representatives designate and will
       continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale
       of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers, provided that neither the
       Company nor any Guarantor will be required to qualify as a foreign
       corporation or to file a general consent to service of process or
       taxation in any such state.

              (d)    For so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, the
       Company and the Guarantors will furnish to the Representatives and, upon
       written request, to each of the other Purchasers copies of all reports,

       Indenture by the deadlines specified in the Indenture.

       respective affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act)
       to, resell any of the Offered Securities that have been reacquired by any
       of them.

       company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is
       or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company
       Act.

              (h)    The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the
       performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and
       the Registration Rights Agreement, including (i) the fees and expenses of
       the Trustee and its professional advisers; (ii) all expenses in

       Securities or the Exchange Securities, and (vi) for expenses incurred in
       distributing the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Offering Circular
       (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Purchasers. The
       Company will also pay or reimburse the Purchasers (to the extent incurred
       by them) for all reasonable travel expenses of the Purchasers and the
       Company's officers and employees and any other expenses of the Purchasers
       and the Company in connection with attending or hosting meetings with
       prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities from the Purchasers. In

       Representatives. Except as otherwise contained herein, the Purchasers
       shall bear all of their expenses related to the transactions contemplated
       hereby.

       completion of the resale of the Offered Securities, neither the Company

       there shall not have occurred (i) a change in U.S. or international
       financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or

       likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or
       distribution of the Offered Securities, whether in the primary market or
       in respect of dealings in the secondary market, or (ii) (A) any change,
       or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the
       condition (financial or other), prospects, business, properties or

       offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (B) any
       downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company or any

       impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or
       sale of and payment for the Offered Securities.

              (c)    The Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the

       Company and such Guarantor in this Agreement are true and correct, that

       Company and the Guarantors contained herein or any untrue statement or
       alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering
       Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related
       preliminary offering circular, or arise out of or are based upon the
       omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary
       in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
       circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including any
       losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the
       Company's failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this
       Agreement, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other
       expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with
       investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
       action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company
       will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
       claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
       statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission
       from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with
       written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser
       specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the
       only such information consists of the information described as such in
       subsection (b) below.

              (b)    Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and
       hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, their respective directors
       and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
       meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims,
       damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the
       Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
       claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
       of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
       any material fact contained in the Offering Document, or any amendment or
       supplement thereto, or any related preliminary offering circular, or
       arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to
       state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
       therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
       not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
       such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
       omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
       information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for
       use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
       incurred by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with
       investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
       action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that
       the only such information furnished by any Purchaser consists of the
       following information in the Offering Document furnished on behalf of
       each Purchaser: under the caption "Plan of Distribution" paragraphs
       three, eight, twelve, thirteen and fourteen; provided, however, that the
       Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or
       liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company's failure to perform
       its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.

              (c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
       Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
       party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
       indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the
       indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to
       notify the indemnifying party will not

                                       13
<Page>

       relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
       other than under subsection (a) or (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 wish,
       jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
       the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
       indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such
       indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
       indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under
       this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
       such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. In any
       such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its
       own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
       expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and
       the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii)
       the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain
       counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the
       indemnified party shall have concluded upon the advice of counsel that
       there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in
       addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named
       parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
       both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
       of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual
       or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and
       agreed that all fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the indemnified
       party as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the
       prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of
       any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified
       party is a party and indemnity was sought hereunder by such indemnified
       party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of
       such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the
       subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to
       or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf
       of any indemnified party.

              (d)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section is
       unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
       subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
       contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
       result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
       subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
       reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors
       on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the
       Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above
       is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
       to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above
       but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one
       hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or
       omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
       as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
       benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and
       the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
       as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses)
       received by the Company and the Guarantors bear to the total discounts
       and commissions received by the Purchasers from the Company and the
       Guarantors under this Agreement. The relative fault 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 and the
       Guarantors or the Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
       access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
       statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a
       result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the
       first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any
       legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
       connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is
       the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of
       this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any
       amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts, fees and
       commission received by such Purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages
       which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
       untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
       person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
       Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to

                                       14
<Page>

       contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
       misrepresentation. The Purchasers' obligations in this subsection (d) to
       contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase
       obligations and not joint.

              (e)    The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under
       this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and
       the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
       and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within
       the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the
       obligations of the Purchasers under this Section shall be in addition to
       any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and
       shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any,
       who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
       Exchange Act.

       8.     DEFAULT OF PURCHASERS. If any Purchaser or Purchasers default in
their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder and the aggregate
principal amount of Offered Securities that such defaulting Purchaser or
Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total
principal amount Offered Securities, the Representatives may make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other
persons, including any of the Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made
by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Purchasers shall be obligated severally,
in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered
Securities that such defaulting Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase. If any
Purchaser or Purchasers so default and the aggregate principal amount of Offered
Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of
the total principal amount of Offered Securities and arrangements satisfactory
to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Offered
Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default,
this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except as provided in Section 9. As
used in this Agreement, the term "Purchaser" includes any person substituted for
a Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting
Purchaser from liability for its default.

       9.     SURVIVAL OF CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS. The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company and the Guarantors or their respective officers and of
the several Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement
as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company
and the Guarantors or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers
is not consummated, the Company and the Guarantors shall remain responsible for
the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the
respective obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the Purchasers
pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect If the purchase of the Offered
Securities by the Purchasers is not consummated for any reason other than solely
because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the
occurrence of any event specified in clause (C), (D) or (E) of Section 6(b)(ii),
the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Purchasers for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably
incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

       10.    NOTICES. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if

Purchaser pursuant to Section 7 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and
confirmed to such Purchaser.

       11.    SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the
controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other

                                       15
<Page>

person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of
Offered Securities shall be entitled to enforce the agreements for their benefit
contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the
Company as if such holders were parties thereto.

       12.    REPRESENTATION OF PURCHASERS. You will act for the several
Purchasers in connection with this purchase, and any action under this Agreement
taken by you will be binding upon all the Purchasers.

       13.    COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

       14.    AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the Guarantors
and the written consent of the Representatives.

       15.    APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
