Such counsel shall state that, although it does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or Prospectus except as otherwise stated in paragraph (viii) above, no facts have come to its attention that have caused it to believe that, (i) any part of the Registration Statement taken together with all amendments thereto made on or before the Applicable Time (other than the financial statements and related schedules and the financial data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which such counsel need express no belief) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Pricing Prospectus, as of the Applicable Time, (other than the financial statements and related schedules and the financial data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which we express no belief) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) as of its issue date and as of such Time of Delivery, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and related schedules and the financial data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which such counsel need express no belief) contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In addition, such counsel shall confirm that each of the Registration Statement, at the time it was declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act, and the Prospectus, at the time it was transmitted for filing with the

25


 

Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, (other than the financial statements and related schedules and the financial data derived from such financial statements or schedules, as to which it need express no belief) complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
     In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that its opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the laws of the State of California.
     (d) Greenberg Traurig, LLP and [                    ], the respective counsel for each of the Selling Stockholders, as indicated in Schedule II hereto, shall have furnished to you their written opinion with respect to each of the Selling Stockholders for whom they are acting as counsel (a draft of each such opinion is attached as Annex III hereto), dated such Time of Delivery, in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that:
     (i) A Power of Attorney and a Custody Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by such Selling Stockholder and constitute valid and binding agreements of such Selling Stockholder in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on the availability of equitable relief, including specific performance;
     (ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder; and the sale of the Selling Stockholder Firm Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder and the compliance by such Selling Stockholder with all of the provisions of this Agreement, the Power-of-Attorney and the Custody Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any statute, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel to which such Selling Stockholder is a party or by which such Selling Stockholder is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Selling Stockholder is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of such Selling Stockholder if such Selling Stockholder is a corporation, the Partnership Agreement of

26


 

such Selling Stockholder if such Selling Stockholder is a partnership, the Certificate of Formation or Operating Agreement of such Selling Stockholder if such Selling Stockholder is a limited liability company, or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Selling Stockholder or the property of such Selling Stockholder;
     (iii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Selling Stockholder Firm Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, except which have been duly obtained and are in full force and effect, such as have been obtained under the Act and the Exchange Act (and such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws or under any securities laws of jurisdictions outside the United States in connection with the purchase and distribution of such Selling Stockholder Firm Shares by the Underwriters, as to which such counsel need not offer any opinion);
     (iv) Upon (a) payment by the Underwriters for the Selling Stockholder Firm Shares being sold to the Underwriters in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) delivery by the Selling Stockholders of security certificates representing such Selling Stockholder Firm Shares to the Underwriters, duly endorsed to the such Underwriters or in blank, such Underwriters will acquire such Selling Stockholder Firm Shares free of any adverse claim (as defined in Section 8-102 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code); in giving this opinion, counsel for the Selling Stockholder may assume that no Underwriter will have notice of any “adverse claim” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) with respect to the Selling Stockholder Firm Shares; and
     (v) In rendering the opinion in paragraph (iv), such counsel may rely upon a certificate of such Selling Stockholder in respect of matters of fact as to ownership of, and liens, encumbrances, equities or claims on, the Selling Stockholder Firm Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder, provided that such counsel shall state that they believe that both you and they are justified in relying upon such certificate.
     (e) On the date of the Prospectus at a time prior to the execution of this Agreement, at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the effective date

27


 

of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement and also at each Time of Delivery, Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect set forth in Annex IV hereto (the executed copy of the letter delivered prior to the execution of this Agreement is attached as Annex IV(a) hereto and a draft of the form of letter to be delivered on the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and as of each Time of Delivery is attached as Annex IV(b) hereto);
     (f) (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Pricing Prospectus any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Prospectus there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
     (g) On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities or preferred stock, if any, by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities or preferred stock, if any;
     (h) On or after the Applicable Time there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or on NASDAQ; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on NASDAQ; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by Federal or New York State or California State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (iv) the outbreak or escalation of

28


 

hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (iv) or (v) in your judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
     (i) The Shares to be sold at such Time of Delivery shall have been duly listed on NASDAQ;
     (j) The Company shall have obtained and delivered to the Underwriters executed copies of an agreement from those stockholders listed on Schedule IV, substantially to the effect set forth in Section 6(e) hereof in form and substance satisfactory to you;
     (k) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date of this Agreement; and
     (l) The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you at such Time of Delivery certificates of officers of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, respectively, satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Stockholders herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company and the Selling Stockholders of all of their respective obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request, and the Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished certificates as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (f) of this Section.
     10. The Independent Underwriter hereby consents to the references to it as set forth under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and in any amendment or supplement thereto made in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof.
     11. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Independent Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any

29


 

“issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, 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 will reimburse each Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. or the Independent Underwriter expressly for use therein or constitutes a reference to the Independent Underwriter consented to by it pursuant to Section 10 hereof
     (b) The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter, in its capacity as QIU, and each person, if any, who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act, or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments incurred as a result of the Independent Underwriter’s participation as a QIU within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the NASD’s Conduct Rules in connection with the offering of the Company’s Stock, except for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and judgments resulting from the Independent Underwriter’s, or such controlling person’s, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     (c) Each of the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Independent Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any

30


 

amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein; and will reimburse each Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. or the Independent Underwriter expressly for use therein or constitutes a reference to the Independent Underwriter consented to by it pursuant to Section 10 hereof; provided, further, that the liability of such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (c) shall not exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus;
     (d) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Stockholder and the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, such Selling Stockholder and the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, each Selling Stockholder and the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, each Selling Stockholder and the Independent

31


 

Underwriter, as the case may be, in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
     (e) The Independent Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Stockholder and each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, each Selling Stockholder or such Underwriter, as the case may be, may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Independent Underwriter expressly for use therein or constitutes a reference to the Independent Underwriter consented to by it pursuant to Section 10 hereof; and will reimburse the Company, each Selling Stockholder or each Underwriter, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, each Selling Stockholder or each Underwriter, as the case may be, in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
     (f) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

32


 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof in respect of such action or proceeding, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for the Independent Underwriter as QIU and all persons, if any, who control the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
     (g) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters and the Independent Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (f) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters and the Independent Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters and the Independent Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or either

33


 

the Underwriters or the Independent Underwriter on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders, the Underwriters and the Independent Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (g) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters and the Independent Underwriter were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (g). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (g) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (g), no Underwriter nor the Independent Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public, and the Independent Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by the Underwriters and distributed to the public were offered to the public, exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter, as the case may be, have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (g), the liability of such Selling Stockholder shall not exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (g) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
     (h) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 11 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 11 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder or the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Independent Underwriter under this Section 11 shall be in addition to any

34


 

liability which the Independent Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder or any Underwriters within the meaning of the Act.
     12. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and, with respect only to the First Time of Delivery, the Selling Stockholders, shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company and, with respect only to the First Time of Delivery, the Selling Stockholders, that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company and, with respect only to the First Time of Delivery, the Selling Stockholders, notify you that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company and, with respect only to the First Time of Delivery, the Selling Stockholders, shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
     (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and, with respect only to the First Time of Delivery, the Selling Stockholders, shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
     (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you, the Company and the

35


 

Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and, with respect only to the First Time of Delivery, the Selling Stockholders, shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 8 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 11 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
     13. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders, the several Underwriters and the Independent Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Independent Underwriters or any controlling person of any Underwriter, the Independent Underwriter or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity agreement of the Company in subsection (a) of Section 11 hereof, the representations and warranties in subsections (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 1(a) hereof and any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus contained in any certificate furnished by the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof, insofar as they may constitute a basis for indemnification for liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) arising under the Act, shall not extend to the extent of any interest therein of a controlling person or partner of an Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter who is a director, officer or controlling person of the Company when the Registration Statement has become effective, except in each case to the extent that an interest of such character shall have been determined by a court of appropriate jurisdiction as not against public policy as expressed in the Act. Unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, the Company will, if a claim for such indemnification is asserted, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such

36


 

interest is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     14. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter except as provided in Sections 4(e), 8 and 10 hereof; but, if for any other reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company or any Selling Stockholder as provided herein, the Company or such Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter or the Independent Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Sections 4(e), 8 and 10 hereof.
     15. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly or by Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of you as representatives; and in all dealings with any Selling Stockholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by any or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Stockholder.

However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
