3. Representations and Warranties of the Selling Stockholders. Each Selling Stockholder severally and not jointly represents and warrants to each Underwriter and the Company that:

(a) Such Selling Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares to be sold by it hereunder free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims, and has full power and authority to sell its interest in the Shares, and, assuming that each Underwriter acquires its interest in the Shares it has purchased from such Selling Stockholder without notice of any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”)), each Underwriter that has purchased such Shares on the Closing Date, by making payment therefor as provided herein, and that has had such Shares credited to the securities account or accounts of such Underwriter maintained with The Depository Trust Company or other securities intermediary will have acquired a security entitlement (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) to such Shares purchased by such Underwriter, and no action based on an adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC) may be asserted against such Underwriter with respect to such Shares.

(b) Such Selling Stockholder has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Stock.

(c) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by such Selling Stockholder of the transactions contemplated herein, except for (i) the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act, (ii) such consents, approvals, authorization or orders as may be required by FINRA and under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters or (iii) those as to which the failure to obtain will affect in any material respect such Selling Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(d) Neither the sale of the Shares being sold by such Selling Stockholder nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein contemplated by such Selling Stockholder will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or

 

13


constitute a default under, (i) any law applicable to such Selling Stockholder, (ii) certificate of formation or the limited partnership or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of such Selling Stockholder, (iii) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which such Selling Stockholder is a party or bound or (iv) any judgment, order or decree applicable to such Selling Stockholder of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over such Selling Stockholder, except in the case of clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), for any such conflict, breach, violation or default that would not impair in any material respect the ability of such Selling Stockholder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) In respect of any statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information related to such Selling Stockholder furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein in connection with the disclosure required by Form S-3 (such information, the “Selling Stockholder Information”), such information does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. It is understood and agreed that the only Selling Stockholder Information furnished by any Selling Stockholder consists solely of the name and address of such Selling Stockholder and the number of Shares owned by such Selling Stockholder under the caption “Selling Stockholders” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and Prospectus.

(f) Other than the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, such Selling Stockholder (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not prepared, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve or refer to any 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 Item (a) of Schedule C hereto, each electronic road show or other written communications approved in writing in advance by the Company and the Underwriter.

4. Purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters.

(a) Each of the Selling Stockholders agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell the Shares to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at a price per share (the “Purchase Price”) of $47.57 from each of the Selling Stockholders the number of Shares (to be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional shares) determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Shares to be sold by each of the Selling Stockholders as set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule B hereto by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter as set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule A hereto and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased by all the Underwriters from all of the Selling Stockholders hereunder.

 

14


(b) The Selling Stockholders understand that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Shares as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Underwriters is advisable, and initially to offer the Shares on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters may offer and sell Shares to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall be responsible for all actions or inactions of such affiliates and nothing herein shall release the Underwriters from any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

(c) Payment for the Shares shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by each of the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriters at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on July 22, 2013, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Underwriters and the Selling Stockholders may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment for the Shares is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

Payment for the Shares shall be made against delivery to the Underwriters for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Shares to be purchased on such date with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of such Shares duly paid by each Selling Stockholder. Delivery of the Shares shall be made through the facilities of DTC unless the Underwriters shall otherwise instruct.

5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a) The Company will file the final Prospectus with the Commission within the time periods specified by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act; will file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to the extent required by Rule 433 under the Securities Act; will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Prospectus for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares; and will furnish copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent not previously delivered) to the Underwriters in New York City prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement in such quantities as the Underwriters may reasonably request. The Company will pay the registration fee for this offering within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Securities Act and in any event prior to the Closing Date.

 

15


(b) The Company will advise the Underwriters as soon as reasonably practicable before preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement without the Underwriters’ consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, at any time prior to the completion of the sale of the Shares by each Underwriter, there occurs an event or development as a result of which the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at such time, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any such time to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus to comply with any applicable law, the Company as soon as reasonably practicable will notify the Underwriters and the Selling Stockholders of such event and promptly will prepare and file, at their own expense, an amendment or supplement, which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance. Neither the Underwriters’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery to investors of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.

(c) The Company will notify the Underwriters as soon as reasonably practicable, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event within the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below) as a result of which the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include 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 existing when the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any 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; and (vii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or the issuance of any notice of objection or suspending any such qualification of the Shares and, if any such order or notice is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal

 

16

The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

(e) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as the Underwriters designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares by each Underwriter, provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(f) For a period of one year from the date of this Agreement, the Company will furnish upon request to the Underwriters, as soon as practicable, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange or automatic quotation system; provided that the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports and financial statements to the Underwriters to the extent they are filed on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System.

(g) The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including (i) all expenses in connection with the sale, preparation and delivery of the Shares and any taxes payable in that connection, and the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including any exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and any other document relating to the offer, sale and delivery of the Shares; (ii) the costs of reproducing and distributing this Agreement; (iii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (iv) all expenses and fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Shares for book-entry transfer by DTC; (v) the cost of any advertising approved by the Company in connection with the issue of the Shares; (vi) for any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Shares

for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters designate and the printing of memoranda relating thereto; (vii) for expenses incurred in distributing the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including any exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters; (viii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent and any registrar; (ix) all expenses and application fees incurred (including related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters) in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA; (x) the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors (the “Road Show Expenses”); and (xi) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Shares on The New York Stock Exchange. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section 5 and Sections 9 and 11, the Underwriters will pay all of their respective costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of their counsel, transfer taxes payable on the sale of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses created by each Underwriter in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

(h) The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Underwriters as soon as practicable an earnings statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least 12 months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

18


(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Stock.

(k) If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any 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 existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph 5(b) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Underwriters may designate such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any 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 existing when the Pricing Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (b) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Underwriters may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Pricing Disclosure Package as may be necessary so that the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Pricing Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Pricing Disclosure Package will comply with law.

(l) The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

20


involving a prospective change, in the financial condition, business, properties, management, prospects or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise, which, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and payment for the Shares; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined under Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement that the Company has been placed on negative outlook; (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Underwriters, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Shares, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on The New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchanges, or any suspension of trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (v) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities; (vi) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States; or (vii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any change in financial markets or any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Underwriters the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, change, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Shares on the Closing Date.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and its officers who signed the Registration Statement, the Selling Stockholders and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any of the Selling Stockholders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph 9(a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Pricing Disclosure Package (including any Pricing Disclosure Package that has subsequently been amended), it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: the second sentence of the ninth paragraph and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(d) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or exposures to additional liability) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to

 

24


the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest based on the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Person. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by each Underwriter and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors and its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs 9(a), 9(b) and 9(c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is

 

25


appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, without duplication, from the sale of the Shares and the difference between (a) the aggregate price to the public received by the Underwriters for the Shares and (b) the aggregate price paid by the Underwriters to the Selling Stockholders for the Shares, bear to the aggregate price to public received for the Shares by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Stockholders or by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph 9(e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph 9(e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(g) The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

10. Default of Underwriters.

(a) If, on the Closing Date any Underwriter defaults in its obligations to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriter may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the

 

26


purchase of such Shares by other persons on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriter does not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase such Shares on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in paragraph 10(a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require the non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in paragraph 10(a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Shares to be purchased on such date, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph 10(b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 5 hereof and except that the provisions of Sections 9 and 11 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10. Nothing in this Section 10 will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders or their respective 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 Selling Stockholders, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. If

 

27


this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 or if for any reason the purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 9 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv) (except for any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company), (v), (vi) or (vii) of Section 8(b), the Company will reimburse each Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Shares.

12. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by telecopy, by telex or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the applicable party at the addresses indicated below:
