The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the Indemnified Parties), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by 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, (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any issuer information filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished to the Company in writing by (i) any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (c) below or (ii) any Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein.
(b) Indemnification of the Underwriters by the Selling Stockholders. Each of the Selling Stockholders severally in proportion to the number of Shares to be sold by such Selling
-29-
Stockholder hereunder, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Pricing Disclosure Package (it being understood and agreed that the only written information furnished to the Company by each Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Pricing Disclosure Package is the information relating to such Selling Stockholder set forth in the table set forth in the Principal and Selling Stockholder section of any of the foregoing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the indemnity provided by each Selling Stockholder under this subsection (b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (net of the underwriting commission and discount but before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder under this Agreement.
(c) Indemnification of the Company and the Selling Stockholders by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including the legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are reasonably incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Pricing Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph under the caption Underwriting and the information contained in the eleventh paragraph under the caption Underwriting.
(d) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9, such person (the Indemnified Person) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the Indemnifying Person) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the material impairment or forfeiture of substantive rights or
-30-
defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred upon receipt from the Indemnified Person of a written request for payment thereof accompanied by a written statement with reasonable supporting detail of such fees and expenses. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company and any such separate firm for the Selling Stockholders shall be designated in writing by the Attorneys-in-Fact or any one of them. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for reasonably incurred fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into (A) more than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request in writing and (B) more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of the proposed terms of such settlement in writing and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
-31-
(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Shares 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) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (net of the underwriting commission and discount but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Shares and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Stockholders or by the Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The liability of each Selling Stockholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to the amount by which such Selling Stockholders net proceeds (net of the underwriting commission and discount but before deducting expenses) received by it from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(f) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Selling Stockholders 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 Selling Stockholders or 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 paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
-32-
omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Selling Stockholder shall be required to (i) contribute unless such Selling Stockholder would have had indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or (ii) contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which such Selling Stockholders net proceeds (net of the underwriting commission and discount but before deducting expenses) received by it from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue 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 obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.
(g) Non-Exclusive Remedies. 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 Person at law or in equity. As between the parties thereto, nothing herein shall supersede any indemnification obligations of the Company or any Selling Stockholder contained in that certain Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and certain of the Selling Stockholders.
10. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
11. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by written notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholders, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option Shares, prior to the Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
12. Defaulting Underwriter.
(a) If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Shares by other persons satisfactory to the Company and the Selling
-33-
Stockholders 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 Shares, then the Company and Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Shares on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non defaulting Underwriters or the Company and the Selling Stockholders may postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company, counsel for the Selling Stockholders or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the 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 12, purchases Shares that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriters pro rata share (based on the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Shares to be purchased on such date, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase Shares on the Additional Closing Date, shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except that the Company and the Selling Stockholders will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 13(a) hereof and except that the provisions of Section 9 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 Company, the Selling Stockholders or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
-34-
13. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, and subject to Section 13(b), (A) each Selling Stockholder will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of its Shares (including any applicable taxes) to the Underwriters by such Selling Shareholder, except as otherwise specifically provided to be paid by the Company or Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement; and (B) the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Shares and any taxes payable by the Company in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing this Agreement; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Companys counsel and independent accountants, and of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, as counsel for the Selling Stockholders; (v) the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Shares under the state or foreign securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters up to an aggregate of $5,000); (vi) the cost of preparing stock certificates; (vii) the costs and charges of any custodian, transfer agent and any registrar; (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters up to an aggregate of $10,000); (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any road show presentation to potential investors (it being agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall each bear half of the costs associated with any private aircraft chartered in connection with such presentation); and (x) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange. It is agreed that, except as specifically provided in this Section 13, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, stock transfer taxes on the resale of any Shares by the Underwriters, and any advertising expenses in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11, (ii) the sale of the Underwritten Shares to the Underwriters is not consummated by reason of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any of the Selling Stockholders to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Shares because any of the conditions of the Underwriters obligations set forth in Section 8 have not been met, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby. If the sale of Underwritten Shares to the Underwriters is not consummated and this Agreement is terminated solely by reason of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of one or more Selling Stockholders to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, such Selling Stockholder or Selling Stockholders, as the case may be, agree
-35-
severally and not jointly to reimburse the Company for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters and reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 13(b) in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby in such proportion as the number of Underwritten Shares to be sold hereunder by each such breaching Selling Stockholder bears to the total number of Underwritten Shares to be sold hereunder by all such breaching Selling Stockholders.
14. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.
15. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Shares and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters.

Annex A-1
Form of Opinion of King & Spalding LLP for the Company
(1) The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act as of the date and time specified in such opinion; each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specified in such opinion on the date specified therein; and to the knowledge of such counsel, no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or in connection with the offering is pending or threatened by the Commission.
(2) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act.
(3) The Company and each of its subsidiaries specified on Schedule I are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, are in good standing in each jurisdiction specified on Schedule I, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(4) The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the heading Capitalization; all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (including the outstanding Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders) have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the capital stock of the Company conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and all the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each subsidiary specified on Schedule I are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, have been duly and validly authorized and issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable.

Annex A-1-1
(8) The unissued Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock have been duly authorized by the Company and validly reserved for issuance, and at the time of delivery to the Underwriters with respect to such Shares, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(9) The unissued Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options have been duly authorized by the Company and validly reserved for issuance, and when delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(10) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares being delivered on the Closing Date by the Company, the issuance by the Company of the Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Options and conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject and that is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries specified on Schedule I or (iii) result in the violation of any federal, New York or Georgia law or statutes, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or, to our knowledge, any judgment, order or regulation of any federal, New York or Georgia court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority binding on the Company or its subsidiaries except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for such conflict, breach, violation or default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Such counsel shall note that the documents identified on Schedule II are governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York. In rendering the opinions expressed in this paragraph 10 insofar as they require interpretation of the documents described on Schedule II, with the Underwriters consent, (a) such counsel may assume that all courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (b) to the extent that any questions of legal construction arise in connection with such counsels review, such counsel may apply the internal laws of the State of New York in resolving such questions, although the documents described on Schedule II may be governed by and construed by applying laws which differ from the laws of the State of New York, and (c) such counsel may express no opinion with respect to any effect on its opinions that may result from any construction of the documents described on Schedule II other than in accordance with their plain meaning and the internal laws of the State of New York.
(11) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is required for the execution,
Annex A-1-2
delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares being delivered on the Closing Date by the Company, the issuance by the Company of the Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Options and conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications as may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters.
(12) The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus under the headings Material U.S. federal income tax consequences for non-U.S. holders and Description of capital stock to the extent that they constitute summaries of the terms of stock, matters of law or regulation or legal conclusions, contain accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects; and, to the knowledge of such counsel, there are no current or pending legal, governmental or regulatory actions, suits or proceedings that are required under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and that are not so described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(13) The Company is not, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds received by the Company from the offering and sale of the Shares as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company will not be, required to register as an investment company or an entity controlled by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
Such counsel shall also state that they have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company and with representatives of its independent accountants and counsel at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel assume no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except as expressly provided in paragraph 12 above), nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to cause such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time of its effective date (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), 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, that the Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time (which such counsel may assume to be the date of the Underwriting Agreement) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto as of its date and the Closing Date contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that any contracts or other documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or required to be described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus are not filed or described as required (other than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief). Such counsel shall note,
Annex A-1-3
that with regard to certain regulatory matters the Underwriters will separately receive an opinion, dated as of the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, from Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, as regulatory counsel to the Company (the Manatt Legal Opinion). Insofar as such counsels opinions set forth in this paragraph relate to the regulatory matters described in the Manatt Legal Opinion, such counsel may rely, with the Underwriters consent and the consent of Manatt Phelps & Phillips, LLP, upon the Manatt Legal Opinion, and such counsel may note that the Manatt Legal Opinion is subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations as are set forth therein.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials that are furnished to the Underwriters.
The opinion of King & Spalding LLP described above shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.
