Ladies and Gentlemen:

Cameron International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the underwriters listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”) for whom you are serving as representatives (the “Representatives”) (i) $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.150% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”), (ii) $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and (iii) $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2043 (the “2043 Notes” and, together with the 2016 Notes and the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”), as set forth on Schedule A hereto.

The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated May 17, 2012, between the Company and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The term “Indenture,” as used herein, includes the Base Indenture and the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, each to be dated on or about the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) establishing the forms and terms of the Notes.

This Agreement, the Notes and the Indenture are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the “Operative Documents.”

The Company and the Underwriters agree as follows:

1. Sale and Purchase. Upon the basis of the representations and warranties and subject to the other terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the respective Underwriters and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company (i) the aggregate principal amount of 2016 Notes set forth opposite that Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto at a price equal to 99.632% of the principal amount thereof, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes set forth opposite that Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto at a price equal to 98.991% of the principal amount thereof and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of 2043 Notes set forth opposite that

Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto at a price equal to 98.217% of the principal amount thereof, in each case, plus accrued interest, if any, from December 16, 2013 to the Closing Date.

The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make sales pursuant to a public offering of the Notes as soon after the date of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined).

2. Payment and Delivery. Payment of the purchase price for the Notes shall be made to the Company by federal funds wire transfer, against delivery of the Notes to you through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the respective accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on December 16, 2013 (unless another time shall be agreed to by you and the Company or unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof). The time at which such payment and delivery are to be made is hereinafter sometimes called the “Closing Date.” Certificates for the Notes shall each be delivered to you in global form. As used herein “business day” shall mean a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.

Deliveries of the documents described in Section 6 hereof with respect to the purchase of the Notes shall be made at the offices of Baker Botts L.L.P. at 910 Louisiana, Houston, Texas, at 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of the closing of the purchase of the Notes.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each of the Underwriters that:

(a) Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-178708) under the Securities Act, and such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act. “Registration Statement” means, collectively, the various parts of such registration statement, each as amended as of the Effective Date for such part, including the Disclosure Package (as defined below), the Prospectus and the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act to be part of such registration statement (“Rule 430 Information”); “Preliminary Prospectus” means, as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), the base prospectus comprising a part of the Registration Statement and the most recent preliminary prospectus supplement to the base prospectus, subject to completion, relating to the issuance of the Notes; and the term “Prospectus” means the final prospectus (including the prospectus supplement) relating to the Notes filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof. “Effective Date” means any date as of which any part of the Registration Statement relating to the offering of the Notes became or is deemed to have become effective under the Securities Act in accordance with the Rules and Regulations. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, (a “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Any reference to the “most

recent Preliminary Prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to the latest Preliminary Prospectus relating to the offering of the Notes included in the Registration Statement or filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on or prior to the date hereof. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of each Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

As used in this Agreement, “Applicable Time” means 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement. At the Applicable Time, the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Disclosure Package”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated December 11, 2013, and each “free writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Schedule B hereto as constituting part of the Disclosure Package.

(b) Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. The Company has been at all times since December 1, 2005 and continues to be a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) for the registration of the Notes, including not having been an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) at any such time or date. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” and the Notes, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form. To the knowledge of the Company, the Registration Statement is not the subject of a pending proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, and the Company is not the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Notes.

The Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on December 22, 2011, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

The most recent Preliminary Prospectus conformed, and the Prospectus will conform, in all material respects when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, to the

requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. The Registration Statement and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus conformed and the Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the requirements applicable to them under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

(e) Registration Statement. The Registration Statement did not and will not, as of each Effective 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; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in writing to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in Section 10.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers, and any person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all the foregoing persons (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter Indemnified Party may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relying upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Underwriter to the Company expressly for use with reference to such Underwriter therein or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or necessary to make such statements not misleading.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all the foregoing persons (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may incur under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives to the Company expressly for use with reference to such Underwriter therein or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such information required to be stated in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make such statements not misleading.

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 9, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and

payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced in any material respect by such omission to so notify. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or such Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such Proceeding within 30 days of the receipt of notice thereof or such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded upon written advice of counsel that there may be defenses available to it that are different from, additional to, or in conflict with those available to such Indemnifying Party (in which case such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct that portion of the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnifying Party may employ counsel and participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party), in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by such Indemnifying Party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings together with reasonably necessary local counsel representing the Indemnified Parties who are parties to such Proceeding). An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with the written consent of such Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this paragraph, then such Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall have given such Indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9 in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in

such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of the Underwriter’s discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective underwriting commitments and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors and officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive the issuance and delivery of the Notes. In addition, the agreements contained in Sections 4(l), 4(m), 5, 9, 10, and 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 7.

10. Underwriters’ Information. The statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page of the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus regarding delivery of the Notes and under the caption “Underwriting” in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and in

the Prospectus, (i) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (ii) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters expressly for use in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus as such information is referred to in Sections 3 and 9 herein.

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 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

12. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by facsimile and, if to the Underwriters, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to c/o J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179, Attention High Grade Syndicate Desk, (fax: (212) 834-6081) and, if to the Company, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to the Company at the offices of the Company at 1333 West Loop South, Suite 1700, Houston, Texas 77027, Attention: General Counsel (telephone: (713) 513-3300, fax: (713) 513-3456).

The Company further acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company, its management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect.

The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

Exhibit A

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY

The opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., counsel for the Company (capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Underwriting Agreement, to which this is an Exhibit), to be delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Underwriting Agreement shall be to the effect that:

(i) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(ii) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(iii) The Notes have been duly authorized and executed by the Company and, when duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(iv) The Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except as to the financial statements and schedules and other financial and accounting data contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief) appear on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act.

(v) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Operative Documents, including the consummation of the offer and sale of the Notes, does not and will not (a) violate the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (b) violate or constitute a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or default under (or an event that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default), or result in the creation or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company or any Principal Subsidiary or an acceleration of any indebtedness of the Company or any Principal Subsidiary pursuant to (1) any Agreements and Instruments identified on Annex A hereto, (2) to the knowledge of such counsel, any

A-1

law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States or the states of Texas or New York applicable to the Company or any subsidiary or its respective assets or properties typical, in such counsel’s experience, for transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or (3) to the knowledge of such counsel, any judgment, order or decree of any United States, Texas or New York governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or their respective assets or properties that, except as, in the case of clauses (1) and (3), would not, either individually or in the aggregate, interfere with or adversely affect the issuance of the Notes in any jurisdiction or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any of the Operative Documents.

(vi) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; and any required filing of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and of the final term sheet pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act has been made in the manner and within the time periods required by such rule. To our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

(vii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration, qualification, license or permit of or with, any court or governmental agency of the United States or the states of New York or Texas is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Operative Documents, except (a) such as have been obtained or made on or prior to the date hereof, (b) such as may be required under state securities and blue sky laws, or (c) those for which the failure to obtain or make would not, either individually or in the aggregate (1) have a Material Adverse Effect or (2) interfere with or adversely affect the issuance of the Notes in any jurisdiction or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any of the Operative Documents.

(viii) The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the net proceeds thereof as described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus will not be, required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(ix) Each document filed under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and accounting data included therein, as to which such counsel need not comment) when they were filed with the Commission, appear on their face to have complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(x) The statements in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Certain Other Indebtedness,” “Description of the Notes,” “Description of Debt Securities,” and “Certain United States Federal Income and Estate Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements purport to describe or summarize the

A-2

legal matters and documents therein, accurately summarize in all material respects such legal matters and documents.

(xi) In addition, such counsel shall state that they have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and have participated in discussions with your representatives, representatives of the Company and its counsel and independent registered public accounting firm concerning the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Such counsel shall state that, although they are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any of the statements in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except to the extent stated in paragraph (x) above), no facts have come to their attention that cause such counsel to believe that (i) the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and accounting data contained or incorporated therein as to which such counsel need express no belief), as of its most recent Effective Date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and accounting data contained or incorporated therein as to which such counsel need express no belief), as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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 or (iii) the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and accounting data contained or incorporated therein as to which such counsel need express no belief), as of the date of the Prospectus, or as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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.
