(c) | To furnish you with written and electronic copies thereof in such quantities as you may from time to time reasonably request, and if, at any time prior to the expiration of nine months after the date of the Offering Circular, any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Offering Circular as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Offering Circular is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary or desirable during such same period to amend or supplement the Offering Circular, to notify you and upon your request to prepare and furnish without charge to you and to any dealer in securities as many written and electronic copies as you may from time to time reasonably request of an amended Offering Circular or a supplement to the Offering Circular which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; | ||

11
(g) | Until the offering of the Securities is complete, the Company will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act; | ||
(h) | During the one year period after the Time of Delivery, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Securities which constitute restricted securities under Rule 144 that have been reacquired by any of them; and | ||
(i) | To use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement in the manner specified in the Pricing Circular under the caption Use of Proceeds. |
6. |
(a) | The Company and each Guarantor represent and agree that, without your prior consent, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that, if the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement were conducted as a public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act with the Commission, would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (any such offer is hereinafter referred to as a Company Supplemental Disclosure Document); | ||
(b) | You represent and agree that, without the prior consent of the Company, other than one or more term sheets relating to the Securities containing customary information and conveyed to purchasers of securities, you have not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that, if the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement were conducted as a public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act with the Commission, would constitute a free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (any such offer (other than any such term sheets), is hereinafter referred to as a Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document); and | ||
(c) | Any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document, the use of which has been consented to by the Company and you, is listed on Schedule I(b) hereto. |
7. | The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenant and agree with you that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Companys and the Guarantors counsel and accountants in connection with the issue of the Securities and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, reproduction and filing of the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Offering Circular and any amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to you and the dealers; (ii) the cost of printing or producing, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Blue Sky Memorandum, closing documents (including any compilations thereof) and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities; (iii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for you in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky and legal investment surveys; (iv) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities; (v) the cost of preparing the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any agent |
12
of the Trustee and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities; and (vii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, and Sections 9 and 11 hereof, you will pay all of your own costs and expenses, including the fees of your counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by you, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers you may make. |
8. | Your obligations hereunder shall be subject, in your discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company and each Guarantor herein are, at and as of the Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition that the Company and each Guarantor shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions: |
(a) | Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for you, shall have furnished to you its opinion and negative assurance letter, in each case dated the Time of Delivery, in form and substance acceptable to you, and such counsel shall have received such papers and information as they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters; | ||
(b) | (i) Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, shall have furnished to you their written opinions and negative assurance letter, dated the Time of Delivery, satisfactory to you and substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and (ii) Kristin Kolesar, Senior Vice President and Global General Counsel, Operations of the Company shall have furnished to you her written opinion, dated the Time of Delivery, satisfactory to you and substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto; | ||
(c) | On the date of the Offering Circular prior to the execution of this Agreement and also at the Time of Delivery, Deloitte & Touche LLP shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to you; | ||
(d) | (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 Circular 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 Circular and the Offering Circular, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Circular and the Offering Circular 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 Circular and the Offering Circular, 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 offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Offering Circular; | ||
(e) | On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Companys outstanding indebtedness by any nationally recognized statistical |
13
rating organization, as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities 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 Companys outstanding indebtedness; | |||
(f) | 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 Companys securities on NASDAQ; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal or New York 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 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 offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Circular; and | ||
(g) | The Company and the Guarantors shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you at the Time of Delivery certificates of officers of the Company and the Guarantors satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of all of their obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsection (d) of this Section and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request. |
9. | (a) | The Company and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify you and hold you harmless against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which you may become subject, under the Securities 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 any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse you for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by you 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 any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by you expressly for use therein. | |
(b) | You will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such parties may become subject, under the Securities 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 |
14
statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact 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 any Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by you expressly for use therein; and you will reimburse the Company and the Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantors in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. | |||
(c) | Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) 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. 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. | ||
(d) | If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) 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 Guarantors on the one hand you on the other from the offering of the Securities. 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 (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by |
15
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 Guarantors on the one hand and you 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 Guarantors on the one hand and you 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 Guarantors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by you, in each case as set forth in the Offering Circular. 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 and the Guarantors on the one hand or you on the other and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and you agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). 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 (d) 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 (d), you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by you and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which you have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. | |||
(e) | The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to any of your affiliates and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of the Securities Act; and your obligations under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which you may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or any Guarantor and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act. |
10. | The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors and you, 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 you or any controlling person of you, or the Company or any Guarantor, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or any Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. |
11. | If this Agreement shall be terminated for any reason and the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Guarantors as provided herein, the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse you for all expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by you in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery |
16
of the Securities, but the Company and the Guarantors shall then be under no further liability to you except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof. |
12. | All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to you shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to Goldman, Sachs & Co. at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282-2198, Attention: Registration Department; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Circular, Attention: Secretary. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof. |
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), you are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies your clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of your clients, as well as other information that will allow you to properly identify your clients.
13. | This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, you, the Company, the Guarantors and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and the Guarantors and each person who controls the Company, any Guarantor or you, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from you shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase. |
14. | Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. |
15. | The Company and each Guarantor acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arms-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and you, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction you are acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Guarantor, (iii) you have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether you have advised or are currently advising the Company or any Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or any Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. The Company and the Guarantors agree that they will not claim that you, or any of them, have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. |
16. | This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Guarantors and you, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. |
17. | THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF |
17
NEW YORK. The Company and the Guarantors agree that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts. |
18. | The Company, the Guarantors and you hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. |
19. | This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. |
20. | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (and the Companys employees, representatives, and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without your imposing any limitation of any kind. 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 treatment means US federal and state income tax treatment, and tax structure is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment. |
