     (aa) The Company has filed all foreign, federal, state and local tax returns that are required to be filed or has requested extensions thereof, except in any case in which the failure to so file would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and has paid all taxes required to be paid by it and any other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due and payable, except for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is currently being contested in good faith or as would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

     (dd) The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all licenses, certificates, permits and other authorizations issued by the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
     (ee) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

To the knowledge of the Company, the Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level to perform the functions for which they were designed and established. Based on the most recent evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of the internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act reports within the time periods specified in the Exchange Act, and any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in such internal control over financial reporting have been reported to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors.
     (gg) The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
     (hh) The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment and Hazardous Materials (as defined herein), including, but not limited to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling, transport and disposal of Hazardous Materials (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of

 


 

Hazardous Materials, except where such non-compliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, licenses or other approvals, or liability would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto). Except as set forth in the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under any Environmental Laws, including, but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.
     (ii) In the ordinary course of its business, the Company periodically reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
     (jj) The Company (i) does not have any material lending or other relationship with any banking or lending affiliate of an Underwriter except as set forth on Schedule I and (ii) does not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to repay any outstanding debt owed to any such affiliate except as set forth in the Prospectus.
     2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, the principal amount of Securities and Guarantees set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto at a purchase price of 98.838% of such principal amount.
     3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities and the Guarantees shall be made at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 20, 2005, or at such time on such later date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities and Guarantees shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in same-day funds. Delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

     (a) The Company will use its best efforts to file any amendment to the Registration Statement necessary in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees. Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if filing of the Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed 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 (1) when the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or when any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission, (2) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities and the Guarantees 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 suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
     (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities and the Guarantees is required to be delivered under the Act, 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 not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Exchange Act or the TIA, or the respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (1) notify the Representatives of such event, (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and (3) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
     (c) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act in relation to, any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company (other than the Securities) or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, until the first day following the Closing Date; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from establishing or increasing put equivalent positions or liquidating or decreasing call equivalent positions in the securities of the Company pursuant to the Company’s risk management policies and procedures as currently in effect.

 


 

     (d) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.
     (e) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will use its best efforts to so furnish the Prospectus on or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the business day following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering.
     (f) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities and the Guarantees for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities and the Guarantees and will pay any fee of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., in connection with its review of the offering; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities and the Guarantees, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
     (g) The Company will use its best efforts to meet the requirements to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under the Code for the taxable year in which sales of the Securities are to occur.
     (h) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act or the Exchange Act in connection with sales of the Securities and the Guarantees, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time period prescribed by the Exchange Act.
     (i) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities and the Guarantees.
     (j) The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities and the Guarantees in the manner specified in the form of the prospectus supplement previously furnished to the Representatives.
     (k) The Company will take all reasonable action necessary to enable the Rating Agencies to provide their respective credit ratings of the Securities and the Guarantees.
     (l) Each Guarantor will provide such cooperation as the Company may require in fulfilling the foregoing obligations of this Section 5.

Rights Agreement, dated January 1, 1999, by and between William L. Mack, David Mack, Earle Mack, Frederic Mack, and Robert A. Elkins, doing business as Frankline Development Co., and the Company.
In rendering such opinions, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the States of Maryland, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Delaware or the federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (b) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.
     (c) The Representatives shall have received from DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary US LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Representatives, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
     (d) The Company and each Guarantor shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by its Chairman of the Board or the President and its principal financial or accounting officer, dated the Closing Date to the effect that the signers of such certificates have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any supplements to the Prospectus and this Agreement and that:
     (i) the representations and warranties of the Company and each Guarantor in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company and each Guarantor has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date or settlement date;
     (ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and
     (iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
     (e) The Company shall have requested and caused Deloitte & Touche LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, as the case may be, to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating in effect that:

 


 

     (i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and financial statement schedules of the Company and those of IRT Property Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission;
     (ii) on the basis of carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter, a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and each of the compensation committee, executive committee and audit and review committee of the Company and the Subsidiaries and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to December 31, 2004, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:
     (1) there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of the letter, in the long-term debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries or capital stock of the Company or decreases in the net assets or stockholders’ equity of the Company as compared with the amounts shown on the December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or for the period from January 1, 2005 to such specified date there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding quarter or the corresponding period in the prior year in net revenues or income before income taxes or in total or per share amounts of net income of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Representatives;
     (2) the information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Prospectus in response to Regulation S-K, Item 301 (Selected Financial Data), Item 302 (Supplementary Financial Information), Item 402 (Executive Compensation) and Item 503(d) (Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges) is not in conformity with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K;
     (iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its Subsidiaries) set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and in Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation; and
     (iv) on the basis of a reading of the unaudited pro forma financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (the “pro forma financial statements”); carrying out certain specified procedures; inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and

 


 

accounting matters; and proving the arithmetic accuracy of the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical amounts in the pro forma financial statements, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that the pro forma financial statements do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X or that the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of such statements. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (e) include any supplement thereto at the date of the letter.
     (f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e)(ii)(2) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
     (g) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.
     (h) The Company shall have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP and Ernst & Young LLP, as the case may be, to have delivered to the Representatives at the Closing Date all accounting information specified in Section 6(e) above to the extent not delivered at the Execution Time.
     (i) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any downgrading in the rating accorded the Securities or any other debt securities of the Company by any Rating Agency nor shall any notice have been given to the Company of (i) any intended or potential downgrading by any Rating Agency in such securities or (ii) any review or possible change by any Rating Agency that does not indicate a stable, positive or improving rating accorded such securities.
     If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be 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 DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary US LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at 4700 Six Forks Road, Suite 200, Raleigh, North Carolina 27612, on the Closing Date.

 


 

     7. Expenses.
     (a) If the sale of the Securities and the Guarantees 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 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 will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket 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.
     (b) The Company agrees to pay the following costs and expenses and all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by it of its obligations hereunder:

     (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities and the Guarantees, including any stamp taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities and the Guarantees;
     (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities and the Guarantees;
     (v) the registration or qualification of the Securities and the Guarantees for offer and sale under the laws of any jurisdiction as provided in Section 5(e) hereof (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters relating to the preparation, printing or reproduction, and delivery of the preliminary and supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda and such registration and qualification);
     (vi) the filing fees and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.;

     (ix) the fees charged by the Rating Agencies for the rating of the Securities and the Guarantees at the request of the Company; and
     (x) the costs and expenses of the Trustee under the Indenture.
     8. Indemnification and Contribution.
     (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees 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 for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, 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 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; provided further, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter occurs under the circumstance where (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of a later Prospectus to the Representatives in accordance with this Agreement, (x) delivery of such later Prospectus was required by the Act to be made to such person, (y) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Prospectus was corrected in such later Prospectus and (z) there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of sale of such securities to such person, a copy of such later Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have.
     (b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Guarantor, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company and the Guarantors 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.
     (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 any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify such indemnifying party (and in cases where any Guarantor is an indemnifying party, the Company) in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify any 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 such indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve such indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. Each indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of an indemnifying party’s choice at the expense of such indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case each 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 an 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 each indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by such indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and such 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) such 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) such indemnifying party (or in the case where a Guarantor is an indemnifying party, the Company) shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of each 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 an 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, each Guarantor and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the 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 Guarantors on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other 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, each Guarantor 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 the 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 Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by them, 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 information provided by the Company and the 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 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 and any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company and any Guarantor who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company and each Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
     9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities and Guarantees 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 amount of Securities and Guarantees set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities and Guarantees set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities and Guarantees which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities and Guarantees which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities and Guarantees 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 Guarantees, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities and Guarantees, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter 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 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 time (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) there shall have occurred any major disruption of settlements of securities 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, sale or delivery of the Securities and the Guarantees as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
     11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and each Guarantor 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, any Guarantor or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities and the Guarantees. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
     12. No Fiduciary Relationship. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTORS ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT IS CONTRACTING WITH THE UNDERWRITERS ON AN ARM’S-LENGTH BASIS TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES DESCRIBED HEREIN, (ii) THE UNDERWRITERS ARE NOT ACTING AS ITS AGENTS OR ADVISORS OR IN A FIDUCIARY CAPACITY WITH RESPECT TO IT, AND (iii) THE UNDERWRITERS ARE NOT ASSUMING ANY DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHER, IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO CREATE A FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM.
     13. Notices.

     15. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.
