1.             Representations and Warranties.

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.

(a)           The Company meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 (file number 333-165800) on Form S-3, including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of a number of classes and series of securities, including the Securities.  Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, became effective upon filing. The Company may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you.  The Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b).  As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein.  The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).  The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.

(b)           On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will,

2

comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date, the Indenture did or will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and any settlement date, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors make no representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(c)           (i) The Disclosure Package and (ii) each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including without limitation, any road show that is a free writing prospectus under Rule 433) when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, does 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 under which they were made, not misleading.  The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(d)           (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), and (iii) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iii)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405.  Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities before the

3

filing of the Registration Statement, whether or not in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163.

(e)           The Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405) as of the relevant date of determination specified in Rule 405 without taking into account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

(f)            Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement.  The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(g)           The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Tennessee with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.  The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(h)           Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, and is validly existing as an entity in good standing (to the extent that such concept is applicable to a particular jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized with full corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification, except in each case where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)            All the outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and except, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, for directors’ qualifying shares, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the subsidiaries are owned by the

4

Company either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries, free and clear of any claims, liens or encumbrances, other than any claims, liens or encumbrances arising under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2007 (as amended and restated as of March 30, 2012) and the Company’s ABL Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, as of March 15, 2012.

(l)            The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Securities and the Supplemental Indenture and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(m)          The Base Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and was duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.  When the Base Indenture is duly executed and delivered by the Company, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, the Base Indenture will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(n)           The Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.  When the Supplemental Indenture is duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, the Indenture will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,

(p)           This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

6

or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), where such conflict, breach, violation or imposition would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(t)            No holders of securities of the Company have rights to the registration of such securities under the Registration Statement, except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or except, with respect to certain piggyback registration rights which have been granted to certain employees, as have been waived or satisfied in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(bb)         Except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), no labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, is threatened or imminent that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and delivered to the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, as to matters covered thereby, to each Underwriter.

5.             Agreements.  The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree with the several Underwriters that:

(a)           Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus) to the Base Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement which shall be disapproved by the Representatives promptly after reasonable notice thereof. The Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing.  The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.  The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b)           To prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof, in the form approved by you and attached as Schedule III hereto and to file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

12

(c)           If, at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(d)           If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event; (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; (iii) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in the use of the Prospectus; and (iv) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(l)            The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree that, unless they have or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule II and III hereto, any electronic road show and any free writing prospectus that contains only (1) information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities or their offering, (2) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering that is included in the final term sheet contemplated by Section 5(b) hereto or (3) information permitted under Rule 134 under the Act.  Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”  The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

15

(m)          The Company agrees to pay the fees required by the Commission relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

(ii)           no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(k)           Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

18

canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives.  Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at One New York Plaza, New York, NY 10004, on the Closing Date.

7.             Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses.  If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities; provided that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the Securities not so delivered except as provided in Sections 5(k) and 8 hereof.

8.     Indemnification and Contribution.  (a) The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are 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, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary 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 such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and

19

agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor may otherwise have.

(b)           Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have.  The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledge that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii) under the heading “Underwriting,” (A) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (B) the second, third and fourth sentences of the third paragraph and (C) the eighth and ninth paragraphs in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b).

(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 the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from 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.  The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party.  Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel

20

with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded 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, (iii) 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 the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.  An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)           In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, by the Underwriters from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder.  If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  Benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.  Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to

21

information provided by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

(e)           Without limitation of and in addition to its obligations under the other paragraphs of this Section 8, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and agents of the Independent Underwriter and each person who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the Independent Underwriter’s acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121) in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Independent Underwriter.  The relative benefits received by the Independent Underwriter with respect to the offering contemplated by this Agreement shall, for purposes of Section 8(d), be deemed to be equal to the portion of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Independent Underwriter as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.  In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(d), the Independent Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by the Independent Underwriter hereunder.

22

9.             Default by an Underwriter.  If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Company.  In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10.           Termination.  This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, (iii) a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11.           Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors or their officers and of the Underwriters 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 Underwriter, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and

23

payment for the Securities.  The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

14.           No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters).  Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

15.           Patriot Act Notice.   In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their

Exhibit A-1

OPINION OF SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT LLP
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 6(b)

We have acted as counsel to Dollar General Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I and II hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”), in connection with the purchase by you of $[450,000,000] aggregate principal amount of [  ]% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) issued by the Company and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated June [·], 2012 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and you.

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-165800) as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No.1 thereto (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company and the Guarantors under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); the Company’s and the Guarantors’ prospectus dated March 31, 2010 (the “Base Prospectus”), which pursuant to Form S-3 incorporates by reference the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2012, the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on April 5, 2012, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 4, 2012, the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 19, 2012, March 26, 2012, March 26, 2012, April 2, 2012, April 19, 2012, June 4, 2012 and June 11, 2012, each as filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (collectively, the “Exchange Act Documents”); the Company’s and the Guarantors’ preliminary prospectus supplement dated June [·], 2012 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary

Prospectus”), filed by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act; the Company’s and the Guarantors’ prospectus supplement dated June [·], 2012 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act; the pricing term sheet, dated June [·], 2012, relating to the Notes filed by the Company as a free writing prospectus pursuant to Rule 433 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the “Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”); the Indenture dated as of June [·], 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July [·], 2012 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors, and the Trustee, relating to the Notes; a duplicate of the global note representing the Notes; the guarantees whose terms are set forth in the Indenture (the “Guarantees”); and the Underwriting Agreement.  In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the documents delivered to you at the closing and upon originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or

conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  We have also assumed that (i) the Company is validly existing and in good standing under the law of the State of Tennessee; (ii) each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule II hereto, none of which are corporations, limited liability companies or limited partnerships incorporated or formed in the State of Delaware, the State of New York or the State of California (the “Schedule II Guarantors”), is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of jurisdiction in which it was organized; (iii) the Company has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture, the Notes and the Underwriting Agreement; (iv) each of the Schedule II Guarantors has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Underwriting Agreement, as applicable; (v) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Schedule II Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and the issuance and performance of the Notes by the Company and the Guarantees made by the Schedule II Guarantors do not constitute a violation or breach of any agreement or instrument which is binding upon the Company or any of the Schedule II Guarantors (except for those agreements or instruments that are the subject of the opinion set forth in paragraph 7) or any of their respective charters, by-laws or similar organizational documents; and (vi) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Schedule II Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and the issuance and performance of the Notes by the Company or the Guarantees made by the Schedule II Guarantors will not violate the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized or the laws of any other jurisdiction (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the federal law of the United States and the laws of the States of California and New York).

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.                              Each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule I (the “Schedule I Guarantors”) is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, under the law of the jurisdiction in which it was organized, and has full corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

2.                              The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Schedule I Guarantors and, assuming that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee, the Indenture constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms and the Indenture conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

3.                              Assuming due authentication thereof by the Trustee and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

4.                              The Guarantees have been duly authorized and issued by the Schedule I Guarantors and, assuming due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee and upon payment for and delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Guarantees of the Guarantors will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

5.                              The statements made in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes” (including, in the case of the Pricing Disclosure Package, the information contained in the Free Writing Prospectus), insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of certain terms of documents referred to therein, constitute accurate summaries of such terms of such documents in all material respects.

6.                              The statements made in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income and Estate Tax Consequences,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of United States federal tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

7.                              The issue and sale of the Notes by the Company, the issue of the Guarantees by the Guarantors, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture by the Company and the Guarantors will not breach or

result in a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, nor will such action violate the certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability agreement or limited partnership agreement, as applicable, of any of the Schedule I Guarantors or any federal or New York State or California State statute or the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or any rule or regulation that has been issued pursuant to any federal or New York State or California State statute or the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or any order known to us issued pursuant to any federal or New York State or California State statute or the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act by any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties, provided that no opinion is given in this paragraph 7 with respect to any federal or state securities laws.

8.                              No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any federal or New York State or California State governmental agency or body or any Delaware governmental agency or body acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or, to our knowledge, any federal or New York State or California State court or any Delaware court acting pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act is required for the issue and sale of the Notes by the Company, the issue of the Guarantees by the Guarantors, and the compliance by the Company and the Guarantors with all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement applicable to it, except for the registration under the Securities Act of the Notes and the Guarantees, and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Notes by the Underwriters.

9.                              The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and the Preliminary Prospectus was filed on June [·], 2012, and the Prospectus was filed on June [·], 2012, pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued or proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

10.                       To our knowledge, there are no contracts or agreements between the Company and any person granting such person the right (other than as described in the Prospectus and the Registration Statement and other than rights which have been waived or satisfied) to require the Company to include any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.

11.                       The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Our opinions set forth in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Our opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8 are limited with regard to California state statutes, laws, rules or regulations to such statutes, laws, rules or regulations that we know that in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Guarantees and the Indenture or generally applicable to companies engaged in the same line of business as the relevant Guarantor.  [In addition, we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of Section [·] of the Indenture relating to severability of provisions of the Indenture.]

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York, the State of California, the federal law of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above-described transaction.  This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent.

Exhibit B

OPINION OF BAKER, DONELSON, BEARMAN, CALDWELL & BERKOWITZ PC
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 6(c)

We have acted as counsel to Dollar General Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (“Dollar General” or the “Company”), and to the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Schedule I Guarantors”), in connection with the issuance and sale of (i) the Company’s [      ]% Senior Notes due 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000,000 (the “Notes”) and (ii) guarantees of the Notes by the Schedule I Guarantors (the “Schedule I Guarantees”) in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.  The Notes, together with their respective guarantees (including the Schedule I Guarantees) (collectively, the “Securities”), are to be offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated [                          ], 2012 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and the accompanying base prospectus dated March 31, 2010 (the “Base Prospectus” and collectively with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”) that form part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-165800) (as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-3, the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

The Notes, together with their respective guarantees (including the Schedule I Guarantees), will be issued under an indenture, dated [                              ], 2012, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated as of [                                  ], 2012, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indentures”).

This Opinion Letter is being delivered in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 6(c) of the Underwriting Agreement.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided therefor in the Underwriting Agreement.

For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that all signatures (other than those of representatives of Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors) on all documents submitted to us are genuine; that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic; that all documents submitted to us as certified copies, telecopies or photocopies conform to the originals of such documents, which themselves are authentic; that the Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party thereto other than Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors; that the Indentures have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party thereto other than Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors; that any natural persons executing any document have legal capacity to do so; and that all public records reviewed are true and complete.  We have further assumed, without investigation, that the representations and warranties

3

contained in the Underwriting Agreement pertaining to factual matters are true and correct as set forth therein; and that any certificate, representation or document that we have received from any governmental authority and upon which we have relied and which was given or dated earlier than the date of this letter continues to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinions contained herein, from such earlier date through and including the date hereof.

With respect to the assumptions set forth hereinabove, in the course of our representation of Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors, we have not discovered any condition or fact which would lead us to believe that our reliance upon such assumptions is not reasonable.

For purposes of giving this letter, we have examined such corporate records of Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors, certificates of public officials, certificates of appropriate officials of Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors, and such other documents, and have made such inquiries, as we have deemed relevant as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.  In basing certain of the opinions expressed herein on “our knowledge,” or matters with respect to which we are “aware,” the words “our knowledge” or “aware” signify that, in the course of our representation of Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors as aforesaid, no information has come to our attention which has given us actual knowledge that any such opinions are not accurate or that any of the documents, certificates and information on which we have relied in expressing any such opinions are not true and complete in all material respects.  The phrase “our knowledge” and the term “aware” are each limited to the actual knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who participate in our representation of Dollar General and the Schedule I Guarantors.  The phrases “set forth in,” “described in,” “contained in” or words of similar import, when used in reference to information contained in either the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, includes information that is appropriately incorporated by reference into such document pursuant to Commission rules and regulations.

We have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and the Indentures.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the other assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof:

1.                                      Dollar General has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the state of Tennessee, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

2.                                      Each of the Schedule I Guarantors has been duly incorporated or organized and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct

4

its business (either individually or as a part of Dollar General’s overall business) as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

3.                                      Dollar General, except where the failure so to register or qualify would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, is duly registered and qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such registration or qualification.

4.                                      Dollar General’s authorized equity capitalization is as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock.”  The issued and outstanding capital stock of Dollar General conforms in all material respects to the description thereof in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock,” and the Company’s $0.875 par value common stock (the “Common Stock”) conforms in all material respects to the description thereof in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock.”  All shares of Common Stock outstanding have been duly authorized and validly issued, are nonassessable and, to our knowledge, were fully paid.  The Securities and the Indentures conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Notes” and, insofar as applicable, “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees.”

5.                                      All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or ownership interests of each of the Schedule I Guarantors have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, to our knowledge, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, are owned by Dollar General directly, or indirectly through one of Dollar General’s subsidiaries, free and clear of any perfected security interest, or any other security interest, lien, adverse claim, equity or other encumbrance.

6.                                      The statements set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock — Tennessee Anti-Takeover Statutes,” insofar as such statements constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, the Company’s charter or bylaw provisions, documents, or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly present and summarize, in all material respects, the matters referred to therein.

7.                                      Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Dollar General or the Schedule I Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indentures and the Notes and Schedule I Guarantees, as applicable, nor compliance by Dollar General or the Schedule I Guarantors with the applicable provisions
