         2. Representations and Warranties of the Companies. The Companies,

jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Purchasers

            (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 Companies. Such preliminary offering circular and

         offering circular, as supplemented as of the date of this Agreement,

         other document approved by the Companies for use in connection with the

         contemplated resale of the Offered Securities, are hereinafter

         collectively referred to as the "OFFERING DOCUMENT." On the date of

         this Agreement and on the Closing Date, the Offering Document does not

         include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any

         material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the

         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

         The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions

         from the Offering Document based upon written information furnished to

         the Company by any Purchaser through Credit Suisse First Boston

         Corporation ("CSFBC") specifically for use therein, it being understood

         and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in

         Section 7(b) hereof. Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, the

         (collectively, the "EXCHANGE ACT REPORTS") which have been filed by the

         Issuer with the Commission or sent to stockholders pursuant to the

         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") when

         filed did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit

         to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in

         the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

         misleading. Such documents, when they were filed with the Commission,

         conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange

         Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

         business, properties, results of operations or general affairs of the

         Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE

         authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; the

         capital stock of each Guarantor that is a corporation is owned by the

         is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (B) rights to

         indemnity and contribution may be limited by applicable laws.

         laws relating to creditors' rights and remedies generally and by

         general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is

         sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); and the Indenture conforms

         in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the

         Offering Document.
