19
 

(g)           On or after the Applicable Time, there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is used under Section 15E of the Exchange Act;

9.           (a)           Each of the Company and the Guarantors will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter 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 (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
 

 
20
 

state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus, 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 necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall 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, the Basic Prospectus, 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 or the Parent by any Underwriter through Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. expressly for use therein.
 
(b)           Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Guarantor against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any Guarantor 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, the Basic Prospectus, 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, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Parent by such Underwriter through Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company or any Guarantor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any Guarantor 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
 

 
21
 

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 and the Underwriters 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 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 the Underwriters 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 the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed
 

 
22
 

to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company 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 any Guarantor on the one hand or the Underwriters 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 the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation 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), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  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 (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
 
(e)           The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or any Guarantor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 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 or any Guarantor and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Act.
 
10.         (a)  If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on
 

 
23
 

the terms contained herein.  If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Parent, on behalf the Company and the Guarantors, 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 Securities on such terms.  In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Parent that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Parent notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Parent shall have the right to postpone the 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 and the Guarantors 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 Securities.
 
(b)           If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Parent as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Parent shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities 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 Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Parent as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Parent shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Parent, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Guarantors and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
 

 
24
 

11.           The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors and the several Underwriters, 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 or any controlling person of any Underwriter, 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.
 
12.           If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and the Guarantors 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 Securities, but neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
 
13.           In all dealings hereunder, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. 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 Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
 
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the Representative at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Leveraged Debt Capital; and if to the Company or any Guarantor shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to c/o NII Holdings, Inc., 1875 Explorer Street, 10th Floor, Reston, Virginia 20190, Attention: General Counsel; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Parent by you upon request.  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)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company or any Guarantor, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow  the underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

17.           This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

ANNEX I
 
FORM OF OPINION OF WILLIAMS MULLEN, COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 8(C)
 


A.      The Company has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
B.      Each Guarantor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to transact business and, to the extent applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
C.      This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors.
 
D.      The authorized capital stock of the Parent conforms as to legal matters in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
 
E.      The shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Parent outstanding prior to the issuance of the Securities have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
F.      All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and each Guarantor (other than the Parent) have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, are owned directly or indirectly by the Parent and, to counsel’s knowledge and except as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, are free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
 
G.      The Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and, when executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company,
 

A-I-1
 
 
 

enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in an action at law or a suit in equity), including the availability of equitable remedies, and (C) procedural requirements of law applicable to the exercise of creditors’ remedies.
 
H.      The Guarantee by each Guarantor set forth in the Indenture has been duly authorized by such Guarantor and, when the Indenture has been executed and delivered by the parties thereto as of the Time of Delivery and the Securities have been delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in an action at law or a suit in equity), including the availability of equitable remedies, and (C) procedural requirements of law applicable to the exercise of creditors’ remedies.
 
I.      The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of, the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in an action at law or a suit in equity), including the availability of equitable remedies and (C) procedural requirements of law applicable to the exercise of creditors’ remedies.  The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
 
J.      The execution and delivery by the Company and each Guarantor of, and the performance by the Company and each Guarantor of its obligations under, this Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities will not contravene (A) any provision of law applicable to the Company or any Guarantor, (B) the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, (C) the terms of any agreement or other instrument to be listed on a schedule hereto, or (D) to counsel’s knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any Guarantor, except, with respect to clauses (A) and (C), to the extent that any such contravention would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
K.      No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company or any Guarantor of its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities, except such as have been obtained or as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities (as to
 

A-I-2
 
 
 

which such counsel expresses no opinion) and as to which the failure to so obtain would not materially adversely affect the ability of the Company or any Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Securities.
 
L.      None of the Company or any Guarantor is, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the consummation of the transactions and application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
M.        The statements relating to legal matters, documents or proceedings included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes” fairly summarize, in all material respects, such matters, documents or proceedings.
 
N.      The statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements constitute a summary of the United States federal tax laws referred to therein, are accurate and fairly summarize in all material respects the United States federal tax laws referred to therein.
 
O.      The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Parent prior to the Time of Delivery (except for the financial statements, notes thereto and schedules and other financial and accounting information and data derived therefrom included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom and the Trustee’s statement of eligibility on Form T-1 (collectively, the “Excluded Information”), as to which such counsel expresses no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
 
P.      The Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any further amendments and supplements thereto, as applicable, made by the Company or any Guarantor prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the Excluded Information, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
 
Q.      To such counsel’s knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the Parent, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is or may be a party or to which any of the properties of the Parent, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is or may be subject that are required to be described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and are not so described or any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus that are not described as required.
 

A-I-3
 
 
 
 
In addition, such counsel shall state that nothing came to the attention of such counsel that causes such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement or any further amendment thereto made prior to the Time of Delivery (except for the Excluded Information, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), when such part or amendment became effective, contained an 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; and the Pricing Disclosure Package (except for the Excluded Information, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), as of the Applicable Time, or the Preliminary Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement at the time it became effective and the Prospectus (except for the Excluded Information, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), each as of its date or as of the Time of Delivery, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such counsel need not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Disclosure Documents (except as specified in its opinion dated the date thereof with respect to the statements under the captions “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Description of Notes”).
 
With respect to the immediately preceding paragraph, Williams Mullen may state that their beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

2.     Nextel Argentina (i) has all necessary licenses, consents, authorizations, approvals, orders, certificates and permits of and from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all Argentine governmental, administrative or regulatory authorities, all self-regulatory organizations and all courts and other tribunals, to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to conduct its business in the manner described in or contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and Form 10-K, including providing digital enhanced specialized mobile radio services, except to the extent that the failure to obtain such consents, authorizations, approvals, orders, certificates and permits or make such declarations and filings would not have a material adverse effect on Nextel Argentina and (ii) has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the violation, revocation or modification of any such license, consent, authorization, approval, order, certificate or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of Nextel Argentina, except as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and Form 10-K; for the avoidance of any doubt it is clarified that the term “embargoes” used in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors – Risk Factors Relating to Our Company – We operate exclusively in foreign markets, and our assets, customers and cash flows are concentrated in Latin America, which presents risks to our operating plans. – Our operating companies are subject to local laws and government regulations in the countries in which they operate, and we are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which could limit our growth and strategic plans and negatively impact our financial results,” includes, exclusively in connection with Argentina, orders from local governments and/or the judiciary seeking for cells to be modified or removed from its current locations;
 
3.     The statements in (i) the Form 10-K under the captions “Business – Operating Companies – Argentina – Regulatory and Legal Overview,” “Business – Operating Companies – Argentina – Foreign Currency Controls, Dividends and Tax Regulation,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
 

A-II(a)-1
 
 
 

Results of Operations – Executive Overview – Argentine Contingencies,” and (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors – Risk Factors Relating to Our Company – We operate exclusively in foreign markets, and our assets, customers and cash flows are concentrated in Latin America, which presents risks to our operating plans – Our operating companies are subject to local laws and government regulations in the countries in which they operate, and we are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which could limit our growth and strategic plans and negatively impact our financial results,” in each case, insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the Argentine legal matters, documents or proceedings related to Nextel Argentina, are accurate in all material respects and fairly summarize all matters referred to therein, and there are no material omissions under such captions with respect to the description of statutes, rules or regulations that would make the statements therein misleading; and
 
4.     There are no restrictions (legal, contractual or otherwise) on the ability of Nextel Argentina, other than those described in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and Form 10-K, to: (i) declare and pay any dividends or make any payment to its stockholders; and (ii) to transfer any property to its stockholders; and such restrictions as would not have a material adverse effect on the prospects, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company; and such descriptions, if any, fairly summarize such restrictions.
