Each Underwriter represents and agrees that it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Issuer and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Issuer) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, (ii) any document listed on Schedule C-1 or prepared pursuant to Section 1(iv) or Section 3(b) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Issuer in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clauses (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use a term sheet substantially in the form of Schedule D hereto without the consent of the Issuer; and each Underwriter is not subject to any proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act with respect to the offering (and will promptly notify the Issuer if any such proceeding against it is initiated during the Prospectus Delivery Period).

SECTION 7. Indemnification.

(a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Senior Notes as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or arising out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Investor Education Material or electronic road show (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Issuer; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including, subject to Section 7(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriters) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any untrue statement or omission, or any alleged untrue statement or omission described in Section 7(a)(i) above, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this Section 7(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of any untrue statement or omission if such alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Investor Education Material or electronic road show (or in any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

-16-


(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly with the other Underwriters, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the directors of the Issuer, the officers of the Issuer who sign the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 7, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Senior Notes as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or arising out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arising out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

SECTION 8. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 7 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, (a) the Issuer, and (b) each Underwriter shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Issuer and the Underwriter, as incurred, (i) in such proportions as will reflect the relative benefits from the offering of the Senior Notes received by the Issuer on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other hand, provided that if the Senior Notes are offered by the Underwriters at an initial offering price to investors set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, the relative benefits shall be deemed to be such that the Underwriter shall be responsible for that portion of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses represented by the percentage that the Underwriters’ discount appearing in such Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus bears to the initial offering price to investors and the Issuer shall be responsible for the balance or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other band in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, an Underwriter shall not (except if the Underwriter is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Senior Notes placed 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. For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director and officer of the Issuer, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer.

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Issuer submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Issuer, and shall survive delivery of any Senior Notes to the Underwriters.

SECTION 10. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Issuer, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, (i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any material adverse change in financial markets in the United States or internationally or any calamity or crisis that, in your reasonable judgment, is material and adverse, or (iii) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE-Amex, or the NASDAQ Stock Market, or (iv) trading of any securities of the Issuer shall have been suspended on any principal exchange or in any over-the-counter market, or (v) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, and in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (ii) through (v), such event singly or together with any other such event makes it, in the Underwriters’ reasonable judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Senior Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus. In the event of any such termination, (x) the covenants set forth in Section 3 hereof with respect to any offering of the Senior Notes purchased from the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and (y) the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 7 hereof, the contribution provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 9 and 11 hereof shall remain in effect.

SECTION 11. Notices.

SECTION 12. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Issuer and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 7 and 8 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their respective successors and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Senior Notes from an Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Senior Notes pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Issuer, on the one hand, and each Underwriter, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Issuer, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Issuer with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Issuer on other matters) or any other obligation to the Issuer except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the Issuer has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Issuer agrees that it will not claim that an Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Issuer, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 13. Governing Law, Waiver of Trial by Jury. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within New York. Each of the Issuer and the Underwriters 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.

SECTION 14. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Time, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Senior Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Senior Notes by other persons satisfactory to the Issuer on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Senior Notes, then the Issuer shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Senior Notes on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Senior Notes of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Issuer may postpone the Closing Time for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Issuer or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 14, purchases the Senior Notes that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Senior Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Senior Notes, then the Issuer shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Senior Notes that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Senior Notes that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Senior Notes of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

 

-19-


(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Senior Notes of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Issuer as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Senior Notes, or if the Issuer shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without liability on the part of the Issuer, except that the Issuer will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 4 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 and Section 8 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Issuer or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

SECTION 15. [Reserved].

SECTION 16. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. 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 respective clients, including the Issuer, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

SECTION 17. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
