• Sale and Purchase of the Securities The Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein stated, agrees to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto, except that, if Schedule I hereto provides for the sale of Securities pursuant to delayed delivery arrangements, the respective principal amounts of Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be as set forth in Schedule II hereto, less the respective amounts of Contract Securities determined as provided below. Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters are herein sometimes called the "Underwriters' Securities" and Securities to be purchased pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts (as hereinafter defined) are herein called "Contract Securities". The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement are several and not joint. If so provided in Schedule I hereto, the Underwriters are authorized to solicit offers to purchase Securities, or a portion thereof, from the Company pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Delayed Delivery Contracts"), substantially in the form of Schedule III hereto but with such changes therein as the Company may authorize or approve, and the Underwriters will endeavor to make such arrangements. Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors, including commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds and educational and charitable institutions. The Company will make Delayed Delivery Contracts in all cases where sales of Contract Securities arranged by the Underwriters have been approved by the Company but, except as the Company may otherwise agree, each such Delayed Delivery Contract must be for not less than the minimum principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto and the total principal amount of Contract Securities may not exceed the maximum principal amount set forth in Schedule I hereto. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts. The principal amount of Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter as set forth in Schedule II hereto shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total principal amount of Contract Securities as the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, except to the extent that the Representatives determine that such reduction shall be otherwise than in such proportion and so advise the Company in writing; provided, however, that the total principal amount of Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total principal amount set forth in Schedule II hereto less the total principal amount of Contract Securities.
