Schedule B of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Securities”) and (ii) the issue and sale by the Guarantors and the purchase by the Initial Purchasers, acting
severally and not jointly of the guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of the Company’s obligations under the Securities. The Securities and the Guarantees are to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of August 12, 2003 (the

Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)).

foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their assets, properties or operations. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or

 - 9 -

to the following further conditions: 
  
 (a) Opinion of Counsel
for the Company and the Guarantors. At the Closing Time, the Initial Purchasers shall have received the favorable opinion, dated as of the Closing Time, of Moore & Van Allen PLLC, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, in form and

that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, they have relied, to the extent they deem proper, upon certificates of officers of the Company, the Guarantors and the Subsidiaries and certificates of public officials. 
  
 (c) Officers’ Certificate. At the Closing Time, (i) the Offering

ordinary course of business; (iii) the Company and the Guarantors shall have complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Time; and (iv) the representations and
warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in Section 1 shall be

accurate and true and correct as though expressly made at and as of the Closing Time. At the Closing Time, the Initial Purchasers shall have received a
certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and equivalent officials of each Guarantor, dated as of the Closing Time, to such effect. 
  
 (d) Accountants’ Letters and Consents. At the Closing Time, the

certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum and in the form previously agreed to. To the extent an audit report of Deloitte & Touche LLP is included in the Offering Memorandum, such accounting
firm shall include either in such letter or in a separate writing a consent to the inclusion of its report in the Offering Memorandum and to the reference to it under the caption “Independent Auditors” in the Offering Memorandum.

  
 (e) Maintenance of Rating. At the Closing Time, the
Securities and the Guarantees shall be rated at least B-2 by Moody’s and B+ by S&P, and the Company and the Guarantors shall have delivered to the Representative a letter dated the Closing Time, from each such rating agency, or other
evidence satisfactory to the Representative, confirming that the Securities and the Guarantees have such ratings; and since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred a downgrading in the rating assigned to the Securities and the
Guarantees or any of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s other debt securities by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as such term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act) and no
such securities rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Securities and the Guarantees or any of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s
other debt securities.

subsidiaries owns, possesses or has obtained any required consents and approvals from all 

  

 - 20 - 

 
Manufacturers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those consents not received as described in the Offering Memorandum, and such
consents and approvals, if any, shall be in a form satisfactory to the Representative. 
  
 (j) Lenders’ Consents. Prior to or at the Closing Time, the Company shall have received any required consents under their existing indebtedness for the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and the Indenture in a form previously approved by the Representative and such consent shall be in full force and effect. 
  
 (k) Additional Documents. At the Closing Time, counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as
they may require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees as herein contemplated, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of
any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to

at or prior to the Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 and except that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and
effect. 
  
 SECTION 6. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Indemnification of Initial Purchasers. The Company and each of the
Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act
as follows: 
  
 (i) against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
  
 (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and 
  

 - 21 - 

 (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; 
  
 provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the
extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantors by any Initial Purchaser through Banc of
America expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum. 
  
 (b)
Indemnification of Company, Guarantors, and Directors. Each Initial Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and their directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect
to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Offering Memorandum in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantors by such Initial Purchasers through
Banc of America expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum are the statements set
forth in the second sentence in the second paragraph and the fourth sentence in the sixth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum. 
  
 (c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to
the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section
6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying
party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified
party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate
but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior 

  

 - 22 - 

 
written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation
or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties
are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii)
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) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse
the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered
into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii)
such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 
  
 SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by
such indemnified party, as incurred, (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 Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the
Securities and the Guarantees pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by 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 Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
  
 The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to
be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors and the total discounts received
by the Initial Purchasers, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities and the Guarantees. 
  
 The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether 

  

 - 23 - 

 
any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or the Guarantors, or by the Initial Purchasers, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
  
 The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include
any legal or other fees reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities (including the Guarantees)
purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company and each Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and each Guarantor within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and each Guarantor. The Initial Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are
several in proportion to the principal amount of Securities (including the Guarantees) set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule B hereto and not joint. 
  
 SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and
agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates or controlling person or by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor, and shall survive (i) delivery of the Securities (including the Guarantees) to the Initial Purchasers and (ii) any termination of this
Agreement. 
  

 - 24 - 

 SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement. 
  
 (a) Termination; General. The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the
Guarantors, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or
supplement thereto, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the
ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there shall have occurred a downgrading in the rating assigned to the Securities or Guarantees or any of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s other debt securities by any nationally recognized securities
rating agency, or if such securities rating agency shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Securities, the Guarantees or any of the Company’s or
Guarantors’ other debt securities or guarantees of debt securities, or (iii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or
escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the
judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities or the Guarantees or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities or the Guarantees, or (iv) if trading in any
securities of the Company or any Guarantor has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National
Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (v) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representative may
interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured, or (vi) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or
clearance services in the United States, or (vii) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal, Delaware or New York authorities. 
  
 (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other
party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect. 
  
 SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Initial Purchasers. If one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at
Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation, within 24 hours thereafter, to make
arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or any other initial purchasers, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon 

  

 - 25 - 

 
the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then 
  
 (a) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed
10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, each of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their
respective obligations hereunder bear to the obligations of all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or 
  
 (b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased hereunder, this
Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser. 
  
 No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default. 
  
 In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement, either the Representative, the Company or the Guarantors shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Offering Memorandum or in any other
documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section 10. 
  
 SECTION 11. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, from the commencement of
discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the Initial Purchasers (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Company and the Initial Purchasers) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 
  
 SECTION 12. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or
transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial Purchasers shall be directed to the Representative at 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, attention of Joel Van Dusen, with a copy to Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, 1 New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004, attention of Stuart H.

Van Allen, PLLC, 100 North Tryon Street, Suite 4700, Charlotte, North Carolina 28202-4003. 
  
 SECTION 13. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors. Nothing 

  

 - 26 - 

 
expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Initial Purchasers, the
Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 6 and 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective
successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities and Guarantees from any Initial Purchaser shall be
deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase. 
  
 SECTION 14. Governing Law and Time. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY HEREIN REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME. 
  
 SECTION 15. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no
condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. 
  
 SECTION 16. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor
changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable. 
  
 SECTION 17. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
  
 Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it is a sophisticated business
person who was adequately represented by counsel during negotiations regarding the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the indemnification provisions of Section 6 and the contribution provisions of Section 7, and is fully informed
regarding said provisions. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereto fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company, its affairs and its business in
order to assure that adequate disclosure has been made in Offering Memorandum.
