                  UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,

                  FURNISHES (OR HAS FURNISHED ON ITS BEHALF BY A U.S.

                  CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE

                  RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY (THE FORM OF WHICH

Act. The Company has prepared a final offering memorandum, dated June 4, 2001

(the "OFFERING MEMORANDUM"), relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and

Purchaser will make offers (the "EXEMPT RESALES") of the Series A Notes on the

terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, solely

to (i) persons whom the Initial Purchaser reasonably believes to be "qualified

institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A under the Act ("QIBs") and (ii)

non U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S

("REGULATION S") under the Act (each, a "REG S INVESTOR"). The QIBs and the

Reg S Investors are collectively referred to herein as the "ELIGIBLE

PURCHASERS." The Initial Purchaser will offer the Series A Notes to such

Eligible Purchasers initially at a price equal to 105.25% of the principal

amount thereof. Such price may be changed at any time without notice.



         Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Series A Notes will

have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement

dated June 8, 2001 relating thereto (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), to be

dated the Closing Date, for so long as such Series A Notes constitute "TRANSFER

RESTRICTED SECURITIES" (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors

will agree to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

"COMMISSION"), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration

statement under the Act (the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT") relating

to the Company's 10 5/8% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the

"SERIES B NOTES") and Guarantees thereof to be offered in exchange for the

Series A Notes and Guarantees thereof (the "EXCHANGE OFFER") and (ii) a shelf

registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (the "SHELF

REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration

Statement, the "REGISTRATION STATEMENTS") relating to the resale by certain

holders of the Series A Notes, and to use their reasonable best efforts to cause

such Registration Statements to be declared effective and to consummate the

Exchange Offer. This Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture and the

Registration Rights Agreement are hereinafter referred to collectively as the

"OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS."



         3 Purchase, Sale and Delivery. (a) On the basis of the representations,

warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms

and conditions, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser,

and the Initial Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, the principal

amount of Series A Notes set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser

on Exhibit B. The purchase price for the Series A Notes will be $990 per $1,000

principal amount Series A Note.



         (b) Delivery of the Series A Notes shall be made, against payment of

the purchase price therefor, at the offices of Latham & Watkins, New York, New

York or such other location as may be mutually acceptable. Such delivery and

payment shall be made at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 8, 2001 or at

such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Initial Purchaser and the

Company. The time and date of such delivery and payment are herein called the

"CLOSING DATE."



         (c) On the Closing Date, one or more Series A Notes in definitive

global form, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository

Trust Company ("DTC"), having an aggregate amount corresponding to the aggregate

principal amount of the Series A Notes (the "GLOBAL NOTE") sold pursuant to

Exempt Resales to Eligible Purchasers shall be delivered by the Company to the

Initial Purchaser (or as the Initial Purchaser directs), against



                                       3

payment by the Initial Purchaser of the purchase price therefor, by wire

transfer of same day funds, to an account designated by the Company, provided

that the Company shall give at least two business days' prior written notice to

the Initial Purchaser of the information required to effect such wire transfer.

The Global Note shall be made available to the Initial Purchaser for inspection

not later than 9:30 a.m. on the business day immediately preceding the Closing

         4 Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Company and

the Guarantors covenants and agrees with the Initial Purchaser as follows:



                  (a) To advise the Initial Purchaser promptly upon becoming

         aware and, if requested by the Initial Purchaser, confirm such advice

         in writing, (i) of the issuance by any state securities commission of

         any stop order suspending the qualification or exemption from

         qualification of any Notes or the related Guarantees for offering or

         sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such

         purpose by any state securities commission or other regulatory

         authority and (ii) of the happening of any event that makes any

         statement of a material fact made in the Offering Memorandum untrue or

         that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Offering

         Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the

         circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Company
