1.        Notes.    The Company proposes to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $175,000,000 principal amount of its 6 ⁵/8% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors (the “Note Guarantees”). The Notes are to be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3 hereof) among the Company, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, to be dated the Closing Date, among the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and the Indenture are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Operative Documents” and the execution and delivery of the Operative Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein are hereinafter referred to as the “Offering.”

The offer and sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of the Notes (and the Note Guarantees) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securi-

ties Act. The Initial Purchasers have advised the Company and the Guarantors that they will offer and sell the Notes purchased by them hereunder in accordance with Section 4 hereof and the Final Memorandum (as defined below) as soon as they deem advisable.

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated February 16, 2007 (the “Preliminary Memorandum”), the Offering Memorandum (as defined below) and a Final Memorandum (as defined below), dated the date hereof. The Final Memorandum, the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum are referred to herein as a “Memorandum.” Each Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the Company, the Notes and the Operative Documents. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto, in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers. As used herein, the term “Memorandum” shall include in each case the documents incorporated by reference therein. The terms “supplement,” “amendment” and “amend” as used herein with respect to a Memorandum shall include all documents deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or the Final Memorandum that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), prior to the Time of Sale (as defined below). Unless stated to the contrary, all references herein to the Offering Memorandum are to the Offering Memorandum as of the date hereof (the “Execution Date”) and are not meant to include any amendment or supplement, or any information incorporated by reference therein, subsequent to the Execution Date.

Prior to the time when the sales of the Notes were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company has prepared and delivered to the Initial Purchasers a pricing supplement (the “Pricing Supplement”) dated February 22, 2007. The Pricing Supplement together with the Preliminary Memorandum is referred to herein as the “Offering Memorandum.”

Promptly after the Time of Sale and in any event no later than the second Business Day following the Time of Sale, the Company will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum (the “Final Memorandum”), which will consist of the Preliminary Memorandum with such changes therein as are required to reflect the information contained in the Pricing Supplement, and from and after the time such Final Memorandum is delivered to the Initial Purchasers, all references herein to the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to be a reference to both the Offering Memorandum and the Final Memorandum.

The Company will promptly advise the Initial Purchasers of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(e) At any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers, the Company, whenever it, the Guarantors or any of their subsidiaries publishes or makes available to the public (by filing with any regulatory authority or securities exchange or by publishing a press release or otherwise) any information that would reasonably be expected to be material in the context of the issuance of the Notes under this Agreement, shall promptly notify the Initial Purchasers as to the nature of such information or event. The Company will likewise notify the Initial Purchasers of (i) any decrease in the rating of the Notes or any other debt securities of the Company by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act) or (ii) any notice or public announcement given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or that any such securities rating agency has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the Notes or such other debt securities, as soon as practicable after the Company becomes aware of any such decrease, notice or public announcement. For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will also deliver to the Initial Purchasers, as soon as available and without request, copies of its yearly and quarterly filings under the Exchange Act.

(f) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, resell any of the Notes that have been acquired by any of them, other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(g) Except as contemplated in the Registration Rights Agreement, none of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to whom the

-13-

Company makes no covenant) will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act.

(h) None of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates, as to whom the Company makes no covenant), will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Notes.

(i) So long as any of the Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, at any time that the Company is not then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will provide at its expense to each holder of the Notes and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of the Notes, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser in connection with a sale of the Notes, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. (This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders from time to time, of the Notes.)

(j) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Notes to be designated Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages (“PORTAL”) market securities in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. relating to trading in PORTAL and to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

(k) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes as set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Offering Memorandum.

(l) Until completion of the distribution, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.

(m) For so long as any Notes are outstanding, each of the Company, the Guarantors and their subsidiaries will conduct its operations in a manner that will not subject the Company, the Guarantors or any such subsidiary to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

(n) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers or their agents, as to which the Company makes no covenant) will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Notes, and each of them will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given them by Regulation S.

-14-

(o) Each Note will bear a legend substantially to the following effect until such legend shall no longer be necessary or advisable because the Notes are no longer subject to the restrictions on transfer described therein:

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF, THE SECURITIES ACT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN THE INDENTURE UNDER WHICH THIS NOTE WAS ISSUED.

(p) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Notes (other than the Notes offered pursuant to this Agreement) for a period of 180 days after the date hereof, without the prior written consent of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC.

(q) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers are acting solely in the capacity of an arms length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of the Notes and the Guarantees contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, no Initial Purchaser is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Initial Purchasers of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

6.      Expenses.  The Company will pay all costs and expenses (other than counsel fees and disbursements for the Initial Purchasers, unless specifically provided herein) incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, whether or not the Offering is consummated or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, including all costs and expenses incident to (i) the printing or other production of documents with respect to the Offering, including any costs of printing the Preliminary Memorandum and Offering Memorandum and any amendment or supplement thereto, this Agreement and any blue sky memoranda; (ii) all arrangements relating to the delivery to the Initial Purchasers of copies of the foregoing documents; (iii) the fees and disbursements of the counsel, the accountants, the Trustee and any other experts or advisors retained by the Company; (iv) preparation, issuance and delivery to the Initial Purchasers of any certificates evidencing the Notes; (v) the qualification of the

-15-

Notes under state securities and blue sky laws, and the maintenance of such qualifications, including filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of Counsel for the Initial Purchasers relating thereto; (vi) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the admission of the Notes for trading in the PORTAL market; (vii) the fees of any agency that rates the Notes; and (viii) all costs and expenses relating to investor presentations, including any “road show” presentations undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Notes, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations, travel and lodging expenses of the Initial Purchasers and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show. If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 or because of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder other than by reason of a default by the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) that shall have been incurred by it in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Notes. The Company shall not in any event be liable to the Initial Purchasers for the loss of anticipated profits from the transactions covered by this Agreement.

7.      Conditions to the Initial Purchasers’ Obligations.  The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Notes shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in Section 2 hereof, in each case as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as if made on and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the officers of the Company and the Guarantors made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their covenants and agreements hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Perkins Coie LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, to the effect set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

(b) The Initial Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Notes and such other related matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as it may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling it to pass upon such matters.

(c) The Initial Purchasers shall have received a “comfort letter” from Ernst & Young LLP, the independent public accountant for the Company and the Guarantors, dated as of the date hereof, addressed to the Initial Purchasers and in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers. In addition, the Initial Purchasers shall have received a “bring-down comfort letter” from Ernst & Young LLP, dated as of the Closing Date, addressed to the Initial Purchasers and in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Pur-

-16-

chasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers. Each letter shall use a “cut-off date” within three days of the date of such letter and the procedures shall extend to financial information in the Final Memorandum not contained in the Preliminary Memorandum. References to the Offering Memorandum in this paragraph (c) with respect to either letter referred to above shall include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter.

(d) The Initial Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to the effect that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in this Agreement are true and correct as if made on and as of the Closing Date; the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement after the date hereof) 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company and the Guarantors have, in all material respects, performed all covenants and agreements and satisfied all conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and

(ii) none of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their subsidiaries has sustained, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), any loss or interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or any legal or governmental proceeding that is material to the Company and the Guarantors, and there has not been any material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, net worth, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and the Guarantors, except in each case as described in or contemplated by the Offering Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(e) The Registration Rights Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by all the parties thereto.

(f) On or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall have received such further certificates, documents or other information as they may have reasonably requested from the Company and the Guarantors.

All opinions, certificates, letters and documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement will comply with the provisions hereof only if they are reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers. The Company shall furnish to the Initial Purchasers

-17-

such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents in such quantities as the Initial Purchasers and Counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall reasonably request.

8.      Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Initial Purchasers against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Initial Purchasers or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum, the Recorded Road Show (when taken together with the Offering Memorandum) or any amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse, as incurred, the Initial Purchasers and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Company and the Guarantors 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 12 hereof. The Company and the Guarantors will not, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchasers, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Initial Purchasers or any person who controls the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Initial Purchasers and such controlling persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(b) The Initial Purchasers will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, their respective directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls any of the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Guarantors, any such directors or officers of the Company and the Guarantors or any such controlling person of the Company and the Guarantors may become subject under the Securities Act or

-18-

otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Preliminary Memorandum, or the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers specifically for use therein as set forth in Section 12 hereof, and subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantors or any such directors or officers or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify such indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify such indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and such indemnified party notifies the relevant indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of outside counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, such indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense

-19-

thereof, unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence or (ii) such indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) such indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from an indemnifying party to an indemnified party, such indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of such indemnifying party.

(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (“Losses”), the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, agree to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses to which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, may be subject, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is unavailable for any reason, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder. 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, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers, the parties’ intent, relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), the Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers from the Company in connection with the purchase of the Notes hereunder, and 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. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls the

-20-

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

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and the obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchasers may otherwise have.

9.      Survival.  The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Guarantors, their respective officers, and the Initial Purchasers set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of it pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors, any of their respective officers, directors or subsidiaries or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof or the Initial Purchasers and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

10.      Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of Wachovia by notice to the Company given at any time at or prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Company or the Guarantors shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or if, at or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or market; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York, North Carolina or United States authorities or there has been a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States; or (iii) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or (C) any other calamity or crisis or material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions which has an effect on the U.S. financial markets that, in the sole judgment of Wachovia, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes as contemplated by the Preliminary Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum, exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto.

-21-

(b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 8 hereof.

11.    Defaulting Initial Purchasers.  If, on the Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date (the “Remaining Notes”) in the respective proportions that the principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite the name of each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser in Schedule I hereto bears to the total number of the Notes set forth opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Notes on the Closing Date if the total amount of Notes which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 10% of the total amount of Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and no non-defaulting Initial Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the amount of Notes that it agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers who so agree, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Remaining Notes. If the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or other Initial Purchasers satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers do not elect to purchase the Remaining Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth herein.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting or withdrawing Initial Purchaser, the Company or Wachovia may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes in the Operative Documents or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, may be necessary.

12.    Information Supplied by the Initial Purchasers.  The statements set forth in the second and third sentences of the sixth paragraph, in each case, under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, to the extent such statements relate to the Initial Purchasers, constitute the only information furnished by the Initial Purchasers to the Company for the purposes of Sections 2(a) and 8 hereof.

13.    Notices.  All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, One Wachovia Center, 301 South College Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28288-0604, Attention: High Yield Origination, with copies being delivered or sent to Counsel for the Initial Purchasers, and, if sent to the Company or the Guarantors, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission and confirmed in writing to the Company at Esterline Technologies Corporation, at 500 108th Avenue NE, Suite 1500, Bellevue, WA 98004, Attn: Chief Financial Officer.

-22-

14.    Successors.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors and their respective successors and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, except that (i) the indemnities of the Company and the Guarantors contained in Section 8 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of any person or persons who control the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the indemnities of the Initial Purchasers contained in Section 8 of this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Company and the Guarantors, and any person or persons who control the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

15.    Applicable Law.  The validity and interpretation of this Agreement, and the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

16.    Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) All judicial proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, which jurisdiction is exclusive, and the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

(b) Each party agrees that any service of process or other legal summons in connection with any proceeding may be served on it by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, postage prepaid, addressed to the served party at its address as provided for in Section 13 hereof. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the parties to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

17.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
