As Representatives of the
several Underwriters listed
in Schedule 1 hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     PepsiAmericas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representative (collectively, the “Representative”), $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Notes due 2014 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of August 15, 2003 (as amended or supplemented with respect to such Securities, the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

     The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:

     1. Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-134179), including a prospectus, relating to the Securities. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” with reference to the Securities means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and any amendments thereto) before it becomes effective, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430 Information and any prospectus supplement that omits final pricing terms that is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act; and the term “Prospectus” means the final prospectus and prospectus supplement in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Securities. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized

terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

     At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated February 9, 2009, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex A hereto, including the final term sheet relating to the Securities.

     2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters. The Company agrees to issue and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 98.769% of the principal amount thereof. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities except upon payment for all the Securities to be purchased as provided herein.

     Payment for and delivery of the Securities will be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on February 12, 2009, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment and delivery is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company to the Representative against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, for the account of the Underwriters, of one global note representing the Securities (the “Global Note”), with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global Note will be made available for inspection by the Representative not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date.

     The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

     3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

     (a) Preliminary Prospectus. No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Preliminary Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a 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; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in any Preliminary Prospectus.

     (b) Time of Sale Information. The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in such Time of Sale Information. No statement of material fact included in the Prospectus has been omitted from the Time of Sale Information and no

statement of material fact included in the Time of Sale Information that is required to be included in the Prospectus has been omitted therefrom.

     (c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. Other than the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not made, used, prepared, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Company or its agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clause (i) below) an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) other than (i) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 134 under the Securities Act or (ii) the documents listed on Annex A hereto and other written communications approved in writing in advance by the Representative. Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus did not and will not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, has been filed in accordance with the Securities Act (to the extent required thereby) and, when taken together with the Preliminary Prospectus filed prior to the first use of such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, did not, and at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

     (d) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Company. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or related to the offering of the Securities has been initiated or threatened by the Commission; as of the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, the Registration Statement and such amendment complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Trust Indenture Act”), and neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto relating to the offering contemplated hereby contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and as of the date of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and as of the Closing Date, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and neither the Prospectus nor the Prospectus as amended or supplemented will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a 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; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to (i) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act or (ii) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

     (e) Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, when they were, are or will be filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of such documents contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that, as to future filings, such representation relates only to those future filings made prior to the termination of the offering.

     (f) Financial Statements. The financial statements and the related notes thereto included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and present fairly the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations and the changes in their cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement present fairly the information required to be stated therein; and the other financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus has been derived from the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries and presents fairly the information shown thereby.

     (g) Disclosure Controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain an effective system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company and its subsidiaries have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.

     (h) Accounting Controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including, but not limited to policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls.

     (i) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and will reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities and for expenses incurred in distributing the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (and any amendment or supplement thereto) to the Underwriters.

     (i) Clear Market. During the period from the date hereof through and including the business day following the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a tenor of more than one year.

     (l) Registration Statement Renewal Deadline. If immediately prior to the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Representative. If the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the

Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Representative, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline.

References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

     5. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that:

     (a) It has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 (other than a free writing prospectus under clause (b)), (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 4(c) above, or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Company in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clauses (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”).

     (b) It has not and will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, use any free writing prospectus that contains the final terms of the Securities unless such terms have previously been included in a free writing prospectus filed with the Commission; provided that Underwriters may, at any time, use a term sheet substantially in the form of Annex B hereto without the consent of the Company; provided further that if such term sheet is different in any significant respect then any Underwriter using such term sheet shall notify the Company, and provide a copy of such term sheet to the Company, prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the first use of such term sheet.

     (iii) on the basis of the review, if any, referred to in clause (ii) above, a reading of the latest available interim financial statements of the Company, inquiries of officials of the Company who have

responsibility for financial and accounting matters and other specified procedures, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that:

     (A) the unaudited consolidated financial statements, if any, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act or any material modification should be made to such unaudited financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles;

     (B) the unaudited summary financial information, if any, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus does not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from which it was derived or was not determined on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus;

     (C) at the date of the latest available balance sheet read by such accountants, there was any change in the capital stock or any increase in long-term debt, including current maturities, or decrease in net current assets or total shareholders’ equity of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries, in each case as compared with amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus; and at a subsequent specified date not more than three business days prior to the Closing Date, there was any change in the capital stock or any increase in long-term debt, including current maturities, or decrease in net current assets or total shareholders’ equity of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries as compared with amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus; and

     (D) for the period from the date of the latest income statement included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus to the closing date of the latest available income statements read by such accountants, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period of the preceding year, in net sales, operating income or total or per share net income of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries; and for the period from the closing date of the latest available income statement included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus to a subsequent specified date not more than three business days prior to the Closing Date, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in net sales, operating income or total or per share net income of the Company and consolidated subsidiaries; except in all cases set forth in clauses (C) and (D) above for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus disclose have occurred or may occur;

     (iv) in addition to the procedures specified in clause (ii) above, they have carried out certain other limited procedures of a nature customarily the subject of independent auditors’ comfort letters with respect to (A) specified dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and (B) other financial information of a nature customarily the subject of independent auditors’ comfort letters, which is contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, including, without limitation, the ratios of earnings to fixed charges, and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting and financial records specified in such letter.

     (g) Opinion of Counsel for the Company. Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, counsel for the Company, shall have furnished to the Representative, at the request of the Company, their written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that:

     (i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information; the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in the states of Minnesota and Illinois; each “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Regulation S-X of the Commission) of the Company, i.e., P-Americas, Inc. and Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers, Inc., is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information. P-Americas, Inc. is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in the states of Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Pepsi-Cola General Bottlers, Inc. is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin;

     (ii) The Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and the terms thereof have been established in accordance with the Indenture; and when duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to the Underwriters in accordance with this Agreement against payment of the agreed upon consideration therefor, the Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

     (iii) The Securities and the Indenture conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus;

     (iv) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c) any requirement that a claim with respect to any debt security issued thereunder that is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars (or a judgment denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars in respect of such claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined in accordance with applicable law and (d) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside of the United States or in a foreign currency;

     (v) Each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto prior to the Closing Date) (other than the financial statements and the notes thereto and the supporting schedules and other financial or statistical data derived therefrom contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion need be given) complied when filed, or as subsequently amended, as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act;

     (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required by the Company for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company, except such as have been obtained or made under the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and such as may be required under state securities laws or Blue Sky laws of various jurisdictions;

     (vii) The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date of this Agreement; each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specified in such opinion on the date specified therein; each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus was filed with the Commission

pursuant to the Rule 433 under the Securities Act; and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Company, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or in connection with the offering is pending or threatened by the Commission; the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and the notes thereto and the supporting schedules and other financial or statistical data derived therefrom contained or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion need be given) complied when filed, or as subsequently amended, as to form in all material respects with the Securities Act; and the Indenture complies as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act;

     (viii) The Company has the power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement; and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

     (ix) The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement, and the issuance and sale of the Securities and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, do not (i) violate the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any significant subsidiary, (ii) violate any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any significant subsidiary, (iii) violate any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree that affects or purports to affect the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to borrow money or to incur any other obligation of the type evidenced by the Securities, in each case listed in a certificate of an officer of the Company as applicable to the Company, or (iv) result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of a lien upon any property or asset of the Company or any significant subsidiary pursuant to, any material agreement or instrument filed or referenced as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007, or to any report on Form 8-K or Form 10-Q filed since December 29, 2007;

     (x) The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

     (xi) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there is not pending or threatened any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries thereof is a party or to which the assets, properties or operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries thereof is subject, before or by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, which might reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the properties, assets, business, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or which might reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the assets, properties or operations thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder or under the Indenture or the Securities; and

     (xii) Nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that causes such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time of its effectiveness (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale (which such counsel may assume to be the date of this Agreement), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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, or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the date of the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or as of the Closing Date, 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; and the descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus of statutes, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents constitute an accurate summary of such statutes, proceedings, contracts and other documents in all material respects; it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion or belief as to the financial statements and the notes thereto, and the supporting schedules and other financial or statistical data derived therefrom contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus.

     (h) Opinion of Counsel for the Underwriters. The Representative shall have received on and as of the Closing Date an opinion of Mayer Brown LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, with respect to such matters as the Representative may reasonably request, and such counsel shall have received such documents and information as they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

     The Company will furnish the Representatives with such additional copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as they reasonably request.

     7. Indemnification and Contribution.

     (a) Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company agrees to 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 Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made except in the case of the Registration Statement, not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expense reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative, if any, specifically for use therein.

     (b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, 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 the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made except in the case of the Registration Statement, 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

     (c) Notice and Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection (a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection (b) above, counsel to the indemnified

parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, also be counsel to the indemnifying party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

     (d) Contribution and Limitation on Liability. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company 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 as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters 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 bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. 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 Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company 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) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection (d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of 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 action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). 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 Securities 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) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company 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 Securities Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 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 director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter defaults or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Securities, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter defaults or Underwriters default and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Securities and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter or

the Company, except as provided in Section 4(h). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

     9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If for any reason the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters hereunder is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 4 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (ii) (other than with respect to the Company’s securities), (iii) or (iv) of Section 6(d), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Securities.

     10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representatives at Banc of America Securities LLC, One Bryant Park, NY1-100-18-03, New York, New York 10036, Attention: High Grade Debt Capital Markets Transaction Management/Legal, facsimile no.

     11. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and such Underwriters as are identified in Schedule 1 hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

     12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
