Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 8, 2009 (the “Statement”) as follows:

 

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Statement is amended by inserting the following information:

 

(b)           The business address for each of Joseph L. Rice, III, Donald J. Gogel, Kevin J. Conway and Theresa A. Gore is c/o Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, 375 Park Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10152.

 

(c)           Each of Messrs. Rice, Gogel and Conway and Ms. Gore is employed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC, 375 Park Avenue, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10152.

 

The agreement among the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Statement is amended by inserting the following information:

 

On March 31, 2011, Clayton Dubilier & Rice Fund VII, L.P. sold 13,909,141 Shares, CDR CCMG Co-Investor L.P. sold 5,078,482 Shares and CD&R Parallel Fund VII, L.P. sold 94,411 Shares, in each case to Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“GS”) at a price of $15.63 per Share, in a registered offering (the “Secondary Offering”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2011 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the CD&R Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), the Carlyle Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. and GS.

 

Under the Underwriting Agreement, CD&R Hertz Funds, the Carlyle Hertz Funds, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds and CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. have agreed with GS, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares during the period from March 28, 2011 continuing through and including the date 45 days after March 28, 2011, except with the prior written consent of GS (such period, the “restricted period”).  The restricted period will be automatically extended if: (1) during the last 17 days of the restricted period the Issuer issues an earnings release or announces material news or a material event; or (2) prior to the expiration of the restricted period, the Issuer announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the restricted period, in which case the restrictions described above will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or material event.

 

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 7 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As of the closing of the Secondary Offering, CD&R Hertz Funds, the Carlyle Hertz Funds, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds and CMC-Partners, L.P. ceased to own at least 50% of the Shares then outstanding in the aggregate and the Issuer ceased to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).  In connection therewith, the board of directors of the Issuer and of The Hertz Corporation, the Issuer’s wholly-owned subsidiary, amended the Issuer’s and The Hertz Corporation’s by-laws to reflect the creation of the new Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee in order to be compliant with applicable NYSE independence and governance requirements and created and adopted a charter for a new compensation, nominating and governance committee of each of the Issuer and The Hertz Corporation to replace their respective existing compensation committees.

 

10



 

Except as described in this Item 4 and Item 6 of this Schedule 13D which are incorporated herein by reference, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein.

Underwriting Agreement

 

March 28, 2011

 

Goldman, Sachs & Co.
200 West Street
New York, New York 10282

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The stockholders of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), named in Schedule I hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”) propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to sell to Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the “Underwriter”) an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Stock”), of the Company.  The aggregate of 50,000,000 shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders is herein called the “Shares.”

 

1.             The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriter that:

 

(a)           An automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-173125) covering the public offering and sale by selling stockholders named from time to time of Stock, including the Shares, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which automatic shelf registration statement became effective pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission (any preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act, are collectively referred to herein as a “Preliminary Prospectus”; the various parts of the Registration Statement, including (i) any post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered to you, (ii) the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, (iii) the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act and (iv) the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act (“Rule 430B”), are hereinafter collectively called the “Registration Statement” (provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Shares, which time shall be

 



 

considered the “new effective date” of such registration statement with respect to the Shares within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B, including the exhibits and schedules thereto as of such time, the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to the Rule 430B); the Preliminary Prospectus relating to the Shares (including any documents incorporated by reference therein) that was included in the Registration Statement as of the Applicable Time (as defined in Section 1(e) hereof) is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus”; the final prospectus relating to the Shares (to be prepared and filed by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) under the Act (“Rule 424(b)”) in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Shares, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus”; and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act relating to the Shares is hereinafter called an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”);

 

(b)           The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act.  The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405) and the Shares have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on such automatic shelf registration statement;

 

(c)           No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Preliminary Prospectus dated on or after March 28, 2011, at the time of filing thereof, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein;

 

(d)           The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

 

(e)           For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Time” is 5:02 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement.  The Pricing Prospectus, as supplemented by the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses listed on Schedule II(a) (collectively, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”) as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; no Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule II(b) hereto conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, to the extent not superseded or modified by any subsequent Issuer Free Writing

Prospectus, as supplemented by and taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to statements or omissions made in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein or by a Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the preparation of the answers therein to Item 7 of Form S-3;

 

(f)            The Registration Statement conforms, and the Prospectus and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and do not and will not, (i) as to each part of the Registration Statement, as of its effectiveness and at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriter pursuant to Rule 430(B)(f)(2) under the Act, and (ii) as to the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the applicable filing date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made); provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein or by a Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the preparation of the answers therein to Item 7 of Form S-1;

 

(g)           (A) At the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (B) 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 Section 13 or 15(d) of the Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Act, and (D) as of the Applicable Time, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405);

 

(h)           The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken together as a whole, have not sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Pricing Prospectus any material loss or material interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth in the Pricing Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Prospectus, there has not been any material change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken together as a whole, or any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus;

(m)          The compliance by the Company with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries is subject, (ii) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or other organizational documents, as applicable, of the Company or the Designated Subsidiaries or (iii) violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or

(u)           The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences;

 

(v)           Since the date of the latest audited financial statements incorporated by reference into the Pricing Prospectus, to the knowledge of the Company, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially adversely affected, or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting;

 

(w)          The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective;

 

(x)            The Company and its subsidiaries collectively possess all licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations from, and have made all declarations and filings with, all federal, state and other governmental authorities, presently required or necessary to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate their properties and to carry on the business as set forth in the Pricing Prospectus (“Permits”), except where the failure to possess, make or obtain such Permits (by possession, declaration or filing) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(y)           Except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus, there is no claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened under any Environmental Law (as defined below) against the Company or its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The term “Environmental Law” means any federal, local or foreign law, regulation,

(aa)         The Company and its subsidiaries collectively carry insurance (including self-insurance, if any) in such amounts and covering such risks as in the Company’s reasonable determination is adequate for the conduct of the business and the value of its properties, except where the failure to carry such insurance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(bb)         The Company and its subsidiaries collectively own, or have the legal right to use, all United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for them to conduct the business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.   Except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Company and its subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(cc)         The Company has filed or caused to be filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid (a) all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and (b) all taxes shown to be due and payable on any assessments of which it has received notice made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority (other than any (i) taxes, fees or other charges with respect to which the failure to pay, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company).  No tax lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge, against the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries, except for liens or charges that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(dd)         Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the Company’s subsidiaries or any director, officer or employee acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any government official or employee from corporate funds, (iii)

(ee)         The operations of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in all material respects in compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the anti-money laundering laws and regulations of the United States and any related or similar statutes (including, without limitation, the U.S. PATRIOT Act of 2001), rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is, to the knowledge of the Company, pending or threatened; and

 

(ff)           Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”).

 

2.             Each of the Selling Stockholders severally and not jointly represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriter and the Company that:

 

(a)           All consents, approvals, authorizations and orders necessary for the execution and delivery by such Selling Stockholder of this Agreement and for the sale and delivery of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, have been obtained, or will be obtained prior to the Time of Delivery; and such Selling Stockholder has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders as would not impair in any material respect the consummation of the Selling Stockholders’ obligations hereunder;

Registration Statement (including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B), any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and each Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

 

(d)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties (except to the extent that local counsel (in addition to any regular counsel) is required to effectively defend against any such action or proceeding).  No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim 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.

 

(e)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Shares.  If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such

 

18



 

amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), the Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  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.  The Underwriter’s obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint; provided, further, that the liability of a Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (e) shall not exceed the product of (i) the number of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and (ii) the per share net proceeds to the Selling Stockholder as set forth in the Pricing Prospectus.

 

(f)            The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of the Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.

13.           The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any controlling person of the Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

 

14.           If for any reason any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, the Company and each of the Selling Stockholders pro rata (based on the number of Shares to be sold by the Company and such Selling Stockholder hereunder) will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Underwriter, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but neither the Company nor any Selling Stockholder shall then be under any further liability to the Underwriter except as provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof.

 

15.           All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriter shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to Goldman, Sachs & Co., 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, Attention: Registration Department; if to any Selling Stockholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to counsel for such Selling Stockholder at its address as set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to Thomas A. Monson, Esq. and Michael T. Wolf, Esq., Jenner & Block LLP, 353 N. Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois 60654-3456; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 10(e) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriter’s Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by you upon request.  Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

 

16.           This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriter, the Company and the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 10 and 13 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company any Selling Stockholder or the Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.  No purchaser of any of the Shares from the Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

 

17.           Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.  As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

 

18.           Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial

transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, (iii) the Underwriter has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Stockholders with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling Stockholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and the Selling Stockholders have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.  Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

19.           The Company acknowledges that the Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

20.           In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Public Law 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriter is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriter to properly identify their respective clients.

 

21.           This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriter, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

22.           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

23.           The Company and the Underwriter hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

24.           This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
