Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Petro Stopping Centers, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and Petro Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”, and together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”) propose to issue and sell to the several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Initial Purchasers”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule A of $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 9% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”). Banc of America Securities LLC and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC have agreed to act as the several Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 9, 2004 (the Indenture”), between the Issuers and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Notes issued in book-entry form will be issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) pursuant to riders to the Issuers’ blanket letter of representations, to be delivered to the Depositary on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2) (the “DTC Agreement”), among the Issuers, the Trustee and the Depositary.

The holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of July 26, 2005 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors (as defined below) and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Issuers 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 of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), relating to another series of debt securities of the Issuers with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) to be offered in exchange for the Notes (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) to the extent required by the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes, and in each case, to use its best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective.

The payment of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture), if any, and interest on the Notes and the Exchange Notes (as defined below) will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally by Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P., Petro Holdings Financial Corporation and Petro, Inc. (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”) set forth in the Indenture and the notation of guarantee. The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities”; and the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities”.

Pursuant to the Security, Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement dated February 9, 2004 and any amendments thereto through the closing date, and each among the Issuers, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and the other respective parties thereto, together with any mortgages or other agreements or instruments purporting to create a security interest in real property (each, a “Mortgage”) in favor of the Collateral Agent (together, the “Security Documents”), the Securities are secured by the property so described in the Security Documents, subject to the limitations specified therein (the “Collateral”).

The Issuers understand that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below) and agree that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) at any time after the date of this Agreement. The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Commission under the Securities Act, in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors that acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S (“Regulation S”) thereunder).

The Issuers have prepared and will deliver to each Initial Purchaser, copies of the Offering Memorandum dated July 13, 2005, describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. As used herein, the “Offering Memorandum” shall mean, with respect to any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the Issuers’ Offering Memorandum, dated July 13, 2005, including amendments or supplements thereto and any exhibits thereto, in the most recent form that has been prepared and delivered by the Issuers to the Initial Purchasers in connection with their solicitation of offers to purchase Securities. Further, any reference to the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any Additional Issuer Information (as defined in Section 3) furnished by the Issuers prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities.

(b) No Integration of Offerings or General Solicitation. Each Issuer has not, directly or indirectly, solicited any offer to buy or offered to sell, and will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell, in the United States or to any United States citizen or resident, any security which is or would be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the Securities to be registered under the Securities Act. None of the Issuers, their affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) (each, an “Affiliate”), or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Issuers make no representation or warranty) has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the Securities, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act. With respect to those Securities sold in reliance upon Regulation S: (i) none of the Issuers, their Affiliates or any person acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Issuers make no representation or warranty) has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Regulation S; and (ii) each of the Issuers and their Affiliates and any person acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Issuers make no representation or warranty) has complied and will comply with the offering restrictions set forth in Regulation S.

The Partnership is duly qualified as a foreign limited partnership to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing or property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

At March 31, 2005, on a consolidated basis, after giving pro forma effect to the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant hereto, the Partnership would have an authorized and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Capitalization” (other than for subsequent issuances of partnership interests pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the Offering Memorandum or upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants described in the Offering Memorandum). All of the partnership interests (whether general or limited partnership interests) in the Partnership have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable (except as provided in the partnership agreement and applicable law); have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws; were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities or interests of the Partnership; and the partners’ equity of the Partnership conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Offering Memorandum.

(v) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither Issuer nor any of their subsidiaries is in violation of its charter or by-laws, limited partnership agreement or similar organizational documents, as applicable, or is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract, franchise, lease or other instrument to which either Issuer or any of their subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of either Issuer or any of their subsidiaries is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. Each Issuers’ execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Indenture, the delivery and performance of the DTC Agreement, and the issuance and delivery of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and by the Offering Memorandum (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws, limited partnership agreement or similar organizational documents, as applicable, of either Issuer or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of either Issuer or any of their subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, except for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change, and (iii) will

not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to either Issuer or any subsidiary. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for either Issuer’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, or the Indenture, or the delivery or performance of the DTC Agreement, or the issuance and delivery of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and by the Offering Memorandum, except such as have been obtained or made by either Issuer and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act, applicable state securities or blue sky laws and except such as may be required by federal and state securities laws with respect to the obligations of the Issuers under the Registration Rights Agreement. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by either Issuer or any of their subsidiaries.

(w) No Material Actions or Proceedings. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of the Issuers’ knowledge, threatened (i) against or affecting either Issuer or any of their subsidiaries, (ii) which has as the subject thereof any property owned or leased by, the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries, where in any such case there is a reasonable possibility that such action, suit or proceeding might be determined adversely to the Issuers or such subsidiary and any such action, suit or proceeding, if so determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries exists or, to the best of the Issuers’ knowledge, is threatened or imminent.

(x) Intellectual Property Rights. The Issuers and their subsidiaries own or possess sufficient trademarks, trade names, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, approvals, trade secrets and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted; and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither Issuer nor any of their subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

(y) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Issuers and their subsidiaries possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and neither Issuer nor any of their subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could result in a Material Adverse Change.

(z) Title to Properties. The Issuers and their subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements

referred to in Section 1(q) above (or elsewhere in the Offering Memorandum), in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except Permitted Liens and Liens granted under the Security Agreements such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Issuers or such subsidiary. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Issuers or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Issuers or such subsidiary.

(aa) Tax Law Compliance. The Issuers and their subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them. The Issuers have made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(q) above in respect of all federal, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries have not been finally determined.

(bb) Each Issuer Not an “Investment Company”. Each Issuer has been advised of the rules and requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Each Issuer is not, and after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of Investment Company Act and will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

(cc) Insurance. Each of the Issuers and each of their subsidiaries is insured by recognized, financially sound institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Issuers and their subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes. The Issuers have no reason to believe that they or any subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew their existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither Issuer nor any subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(dd) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation. Neither Issuer has taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of either Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(ee) Solvency. The Partnership and Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P. (“Petro Holdings”) is, and immediately after the Closing Date will be, Solvent. As used herein, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to the Issuer and Petro Holdings, as applicable, on a particular date, that on such date (i) the fair market value of the assets of the Partnership or Petro Holdings, as applicable, is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent

liabilities) of the Partnership or Petro Holdings, as applicable, (ii) the present fair salable value of the assets of the Partnership or Petro Holdings, as applicable, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Partnership or Petro Holdings, as applicable, on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (iii) the Partnership or Petro Holdings, as applicable, is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, including contingent obligations, as they mature and (iv) the Partnership or Petro Holdings, as applicable, does not have unreasonably small capital.

(ff) No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither of the Issuers nor any of their subsidiaries, nor, to the best of the Issuers’ knowledge, any employee or agent of either Issuer or any subsidiary, has made any contribution or other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state or foreign office in violation of any law or of the character necessary to be disclosed in the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

(gg) Corporation’s Accounting System. The Issuers maintain a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(hh) Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change: (i) neither of the Issuers nor any of their subsidiaries is in violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law or regulation relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum and petroleum products (collectively, “Materials of Environmental Concern”), or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Materials of Environmental Concern (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), which violation includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with any permits or other governmental authorizations required for the operation of the business of the Issuers or their subsidiaries under applicable Environmental Laws, or noncompliance with the terms and conditions thereof, nor has either Issuer or any of their subsidiaries received any written communication, whether from a governmental authority, citizens group, employee or otherwise, that alleges that any Issuer or any of their subsidiaries is in violation of any Environmental Law; (ii) there is no claim, action or cause of action filed with a court or governmental authority, no investigation with respect to which either Issuer has received written notice, and no written notice by any person or entity alleging potential liability for investigatory costs, cleanup costs, governmental responses costs, natural resources damages, property damages, personal injuries, attorneys’ fees or penalties arising out of, based on or resulting from the presence, or release into the environment, of any Material of Environmental Concern at any location owned, leased or operated by the Issuers or

any of their subsidiaries, now or in the past (collectively, “Environmental Claims”), pending or, to the best of Issuers’ knowledge, threatened against any Issuer or any of their subsidiaries or any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law; and (iii) to the best of the Issuers’ knowledge, there are no past or present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents, including, without limitation, the release, emission, discharge, presence or disposal of any Material of Environmental Concern, that reasonably could result in a violation of any Environmental Law or form the basis of a potential Environmental Claim against any Issuer or any of their subsidiaries or against any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.

(ii) Periodic Review of Costs of Environmental Compliance. In the ordinary course of its business, the Issuers conduct a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Issuers and their subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review and the amount of its established reserves, the Issuers have reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(jj) ERISA Compliance. The Issuers and their subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Issuers, their subsidiaries or their “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Corporation or a subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”) of which such Issuer or such subsidiary is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by any Issuer, their subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Issuers, their subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither Issuers, their subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Issuers, their subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(kk) No Default in First Priority Lien Obligations. No event of default exists under any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument constituting First Priority Lien Obligations (as defined in the Indenture).

(ll) Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Issuers have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act), which: (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Issuers, including their consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to their principal executive officer and their principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the 1934 Act are being prepared, (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the period covered by the Partnership’s most recent annual or quarterly report filed with the Commission and the Issuers have presented the conclusions about such effectiveness in their respective most recent annual or quarterly reports filed with the Commission. Since the respective dates of the Issuers’ most recent annual or quarterly reports, as the case may be, filed with the Commission, neither Issuer has advised the Initial Purchasers of (a) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect such Issuer’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in such Issuer’s internal control over financial reporting. Since the most recent evaluation of the Issuers’ disclosure controls and procedures described above, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls.

(mm) Regulation S. The Issuers and their affiliates and all persons acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Issuers make no representation) have complied with and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Securities outside the United States and, in connection therewith, the Offering Memorandum will contain the disclosure required by Rule 902. The Securities sold in reliance on Regulation S will be represented upon issuance by a temporary global security that may not be exchanged for definitive securities until the expiration of the 40-day restricted period referred to in Rule 903 of the Securities Act and only upon certification of beneficial ownership of such Securities by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such Securities in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(nn) Inactive Registrants. Each of the Corporation and Petro Holdings Financial Corporation meets the requirements of an “inactive registrant” as defined by Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

(oo) Significant Subsidiaries. Neither of the Issuers has any “significant subsidiaries” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

(pp) Existing Instruments and Orders. The list of items to be set forth in an officer’s certificate that will be annexed to the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP referred to in Section 5(c), when delivered on the Closing Date, will be a complete and accurate list of (i)

Existing Instruments that are material to the Issuers and their subsidiaries taken as a whole and that may not be replaced or be difficult to replace, and (ii) all orders, judgments or decrees of any court or other agency of government applicable to the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries.

Any certificate signed by an officer of an Issuer and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or to counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by that Issuer to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters set forth therein.

Section 3. Additional Covenants. Each Issuer further covenants and agrees with the Initial Purchaser as follows:

(a) Initial Purchasers’ Review of Proposed Amendments and Supplements. Prior to amending or supplementing the Offering Memorandum (including any amendment or supplement through incorporation by reference of any report filed under the Exchange Act), the Corporation shall furnish to the Initial Purchasers for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and the Issuers shall not use any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Initial Purchasers reasonably object.

(b) Amendments and Supplements to the Offering Memorandum and Other Securities Act Matters. If, prior to the completion of the placement of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers with the Subsequent Purchasers, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if in the opinion of the Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Issuers agree to promptly prepare (subject to Section 3 hereof), file with the Commission and furnish at its own expense to the Initial Purchasers, amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of an applicable shelf registration statement and for so long as the Securities are outstanding if, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers, the Initial Purchasers or any of their affiliates (as such term is defined in the rules and regulations under the Securities Act) are required to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of, or market-making activities with respect to, such securities, to periodically amend the applicable registration statement so that the information contained therein complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, to amend the applicable registration statement or supplement the related prospectus or the documents incorporated therein when necessary to reflect any material changes in the information provided therein so that the registration statement and the prospectus will not contain 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 existing as of the date the prospectus is so delivered, not

misleading and to provide the Initial Purchasers with copies of each amendment or supplement filed and such other documents as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request.

The Issuers shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or foreign limited partnership, as applicable, or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign corporation or foreign limited partnership, as applicable. The Issuers will advise the Initial Purchasers promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, selling or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. Each Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of either Issuer, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based: (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), 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; or (ii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any Issuer contained herein; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any failure of any Issuer to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or (iv) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Initial Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) above, provided that the Issuers shall not be liable under this clause (iv) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Initial Purchaser through its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Banc of America Securities LLC) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by the Initial Purchasers expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement

set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liabilities that any Issuer may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Issuers, their Directors and Officers. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuer and each of its directors and each person, if any, who controls that Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which that Issuer or any such director, or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is 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, 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 the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Issuers, or any such director or controlling person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers, or any such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Issuers hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Issuers expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth as the third full paragraph on page (ii) of the Offering Memorandum concerning stabilization by the Initial Purchasers and in the ninth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum; and the Initial Purchasers confirm that such statements are correct. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. 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 the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, 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 that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in

conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (Banc of America Securities LLC in the case of Section 8 and Section 9), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8 hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

Section 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then (i) each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement 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 Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities 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 pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Issuers, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 for purposes of indemnification.

The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 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 in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Issuers, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuers with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers.

Section 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Initial Purchasers by notice given to the Issuers if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Issuers’ securities shall have been suspended or

limited by the Commission or trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or the NASD; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York, Delaware or California authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Offering Memorandum or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) the Issuers shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Issuers regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) the Issuers to any Initial Purchaser, except that the Issuers shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (ii) any Initial Purchaser to the Issuers, or (iii) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

Section 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Issuers, of its officers and of the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser or the Issuers or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

The term “successors” shall not include any purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely by reason of such purchase.

Section 14. 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 15. Governing Law Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE.

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 16. Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number

of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Corporation for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 6, Section 8 and Section 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Corporation shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 16. Any action taken under this Section 16 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

Section 17. Tax Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Initial Purchasers, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be permitted to disclose the tax treatment and tax structure of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Offering Memorandum (including any materials, opinions or analyses relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, but without disclosure of identifying information or, except to the extent relating to such tax structure or tax treatment, any nonpublic commercial or financial information); provided, however, that if such transaction is not consummated for any reason, the provisions of this sentence shall cease to apply with respect to such transaction.

Section 18. 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.
