(ii) If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement: (A) on the Effective Date of the Initial

of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the representation and warranty in this section 2(b)(iii)
shall apply only to the extent that any statements in or omissions from the General
Disclosure Package or any individual Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus are made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Selling Stockholder specifically for use therein; it being understood that the only such
information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder specifically
for use in the General Disclosure Package or any individual Limited Use Issuer Free Writing

(iv) Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there

person that would give rise to a valid claim against such Selling Stockholder or any

with this offering.
(v) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf
of such Selling Stockholder.
(vi) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by or on behalf of

default under, (A) any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or
body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over such Selling Stockholder
or any of its properties, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially
adversely affect the ability of such Selling
Stockholder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) any agreement or
instrument to which such Selling Stockholder is a party or by which such Selling
Stockholder is bound or to which any of the properties of such Selling Stockholder is
subject, except as would

sale of the Offered Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in
the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940.
(viii) The offering and sale of the Offered Securities to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders will comply with the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement. Upon delivery of
the Offered Securities by the Voting Trustee to the Underwriters for sale pursuant to this
Agreement, the Offered Securities will be validly released from the voting trust created by
the Voting Trust Agreement and such Voting Trust Agreement shall terminate with respect to
such Offered Securities.
(ix) Such Selling Stockholder has delivered to the Voting Trustee the written notice
and officer’s certificate required by Section 10(c) of the Voting Trust Agreement and the

Agreement, delivery of such Offered Securities, as directed by the Representatives, to Cede & Co.
(“Cede”) or such other nominee as may be designated by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
registration of such Offered Securities in the name of Cede or such other nominee and the crediting

DTC shall be a “protected purchaser” of such Offered Securities within the meaning of Section 8-303
of the UCC, (2) under Section 8-501 of the UCC, the Underwriters will acquire a valid security
entitlement in respect of such Offered Securities and (3) no action based on any “adverse claim,”
within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC, to such Offered Securities may be asserted against
the Underwriters with respect to such security entitlement; for purposes of this representation,
the Voting Trustee and such Selling Stockholder may assume that when such payment, delivery and
crediting occur, (x) such Offered Securities will have been registered in the name of Cede or
another nominee designated by DTC, in each case on the Company’s share registry in accordance with
its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, (y) DTC will be registered as a
“clearing corporation” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC and (z) appropriate entries
to the accounts of the several Underwriters on the records of DTC will have been made pursuant to
the UCC.
3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities. On the basis of the representations,
warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein
contained, the Company, the Voting Trustee and each Selling Stockholder agree, severally and not
jointly, to sell to each
Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the
Company and the Voting Trustee on behalf of each Selling Stockholder, at a purchase price of
$[•] per share, that number of Firm Securities (rounded up or down, as determined by the
Representatives in their discretion, in order to avoid fractions) obtained by multiplying 300,000
Firm Securities in the case of the Company and the
11
number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Selling Stockholder in Schedule
A hereto, in the case of a Selling Stockholder, in each case by a fraction the numerator of which
is the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule B
hereto and the denominator of which is the total number of Firm Securities.
The Company and the Voting Trustee on behalf of the Selling Stockholders will deliver the Firm
Securities to the Representatives for the accounts of the Underwriters, against payment of the
purchase price in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an
account at a bank reasonably acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of (i) CommVault
Systems, Inc., in the case of 300,000 shares of Firm Securities being sold by the Company, and (ii)
the Voting Trustee, in the case of 7,200,000 shares of Firm Securities being sold by the Voting
Trustee on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, at the New York office of Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw
LLP, at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on June [ • ], 2007, or at such other time not later than
seven full business days thereafter as the Representatives and the Company determine, such time
being herein referred to as the “First Closing Date”. For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the
Exchange Act, the First Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall
be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered
Securities sold pursuant to the offering. The certificates for the Firm Securities so to be
delivered will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as the
Representatives request and will be made available for checking and packaging at the New York
office of Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.
In addition, upon written notice from the Representatives given to the Selling Stockholders
from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Prospectus, the Underwriters
may purchase all or less than all of the Optional Securities at the purchase price per Security to
be paid for the Firm Securities. The Voting Trustee on behalf of the Selling Stockholders agrees,
severally and not jointly on their behalf, to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree,
severally and not jointly, to purchase the Optional Securities. The Voting Trustee hereby agrees
to facilitate such sale pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Voting Trust Agreement. Such Optional
Securities shall be purchased from the Voting Trustee (on behalf of the Selling Stockholders) for
the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the number of Firm Securities set forth
opposite such Underwriter’s name bears to the total number of Firm Securities (subject to
adjustment by the Representatives to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters
only for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm
Securities. No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Securities
previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the
Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not
previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the
Representatives to the Company and the Selling Stockholders.
Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities, being herein referred
to as an “Optional Closing Date”, which may be the First Closing Date (the First Closing Date and
each Optional Closing Date, if any, being sometimes referred to as a “Closing Date”), shall be
determined by the Representatives and the Company but shall be not later than five full business
days after written notice of election to purchase Optional Securities is given. The Voting Trustee
will deliver the Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date to the
Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price
therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an
account at a bank reasonably acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of the Voting
Trustee, at the New York office of Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP. The certificates for the Optional
Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date will be in definitive form, in such
denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives request upon reasonable notice
prior to such Optional Closing Date and will be made available for checking and packaging at the
New York office of Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP at a reasonable time in advance of such Optional
Closing Date.
4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer
the Offered Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus.
12
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters, the
Voting Trustee and the Selling Stockholders that:
(a) The Company has filed or will file each Statutory Prospectus pursuant to and in
accordance with Rule 424(b)(1) (or, if applicable and consented to by the Representatives,
subparagraph (4)) not later than the second business day following the earlier of the date
it is first used or the date of this Agreement.
(b) If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will file the Prospectus with the
Commission pursuant to and in accordance with subparagraph (1) (or, if applicable and if
consented to by the Representatives, subparagraph (4)) of Rule 424(b) not later than the
earlier of (A) the second business day following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or (B) the fifteenth business day after the Effective Date of the Initial
Registration Statement.
The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any such filing pursuant to
Rule 424(b). If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and an additional registration statement is
necessary to register a portion of the Offered Securities under the Act but the Effective
Time thereof has not occurred as of such execution and delivery, the Company will file the
additional registration statement or, if filed, will file a post-effective amendment
thereto with the Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 462(b) on or prior to
10:00 P.M., New York time, on the date of this Agreement or, if earlier, on or prior to the
time the Prospectus is printed and distributed to any Underwriter, or will make such filing
at such later date as shall have been consented to by the Representatives.
(c) The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any proposal to amend or
supplement the initial or any additional registration statement as filed or the related
prospectus or the Initial Registration Statement, the Additional Registration Statement (if
any) or any Statutory Prospectus and will not effect such amendment or supplementation
without the Representatives’ consent; and the Company will also advise the Representatives
promptly of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement (if its Effective Time is
subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement) and of any amendment or
supplementation of a Registration Statement or any Statutory Prospectus and of the
institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of a Registration
Statement and will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and
to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or but
for the exemption in Rule 172 would be required to be) delivered under the Act in
connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which
the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is
necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will
promptly notify the Representatives of such event and will promptly prepare and file with
the Commission, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such
statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the
Representatives’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or
supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7. If
at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or
occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement
relating to the Offered Securities or included or would include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent
time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will
promptly amend or supplement, at its own
13
expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict,
untrue statement or omission.
(e) As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined
below), the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings
statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date of the
Initial Registration Statement (or, if later, the Effective Date of the Additional
Registration Statement) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act. For
the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Availability Date” means the 45th day after the end
of the fourth fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes such Effective
Date, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s
fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal
quarter.
(f) The Company will furnish to the Representatives copies of each Registration
Statement (five of which will be photocopies of such signed Registration Statement and will
include all exhibits), each related preliminary prospectus, and, so long as a prospectus
relating to the Offered Securities is required to be delivered under the Act in connection
with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements
to such documents, in each case in such quantities as the Representatives reasonably
request. The Prospectus shall be so furnished on or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York time, on
the business day following the later of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the
Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement. All other documents shall be so
furnished as soon as available. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and
distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.
(g) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale
under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives designate and will continue
such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business, consent to service of
process or become subject to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it has not already done
so.
(h) The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that the Company will pay all
expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and each Selling
Stockholder under this Agreement, for any filing fees and other expenses (including fees
and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification of the Offered
Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives designate
and the printing of memoranda relating thereto, for the filing fee incident to the review
by the NASD of the Offered Securities, for any travel expenses of the Company’s officers
and employees and any other expenses of the Company in connection with attending or hosting
meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities, including 50% of the cost
of any aircraft chartered in connection with attending or hosting such meetings, for
expenses incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus (including
any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters and for expenses incurred for
preparing, printing and distributing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses to investors or
prospective investors.
(i) For a period of 90 days after the date of the initial public offering of the
Offered Securities (“Full Lock-up Period”), the Company will not offer, sell, contract to
sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a
registration statement under the Act relating to, any additional shares of its Securities
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of its
Securities, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge,
disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of CS Securities and Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxx & Co., except (i) upon the exercise of warrants or options, in each case outstanding
on the date hereof and (ii) grants of employee stock options pursuant to the terms of a
plan in effect on the date hereof and issuances of Securities pursuant to the exercise of
such options. Furthermore, if (A) during the last 17 days of the Full Lock-up Period the
Company releases earnings results or (B) prior to the expiration of the Full Lock-up
Period, the Company
14
announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on
the last day of the Full Lock-up Period, then, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Full
Lock-up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the
date of release of the earnings results unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such
extension. The Company will provide CS Securities and Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. with notice of
any announcement described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence that gives rise to an
extension of the Full Lock-up Period.
6. Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the
prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it
obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make
any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405,
required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the
Company and the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus”. The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 433,
and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing where required, legending and
record keeping. The Company represents that it has satisfied and agrees that it will satisfy the
conditions in Rule 433 to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any electronic road show.
7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several
Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Firm Securities on the First Closing Date and the Optional
Securities to be purchased on each Optional Closing Date will be subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties on the part of the Company and the Selling Stockholders herein, to
the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the
performance by the Company and the Selling Stockholders of their obligations hereunder and to the
following additional conditions precedent:
(a) The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated the date of delivery
thereof (which, if the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be on or prior to the date of this
Agreement or, if the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is subsequent to
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be prior to the filing of the amendment
or post-effective amendment to the registration statement to be filed shortly prior to such
Effective Time), of Ernst & Young LLP in form and substance satisfactory to the
Representatives, concerning the financial information with respect to the Company set forth
in the Registration Statements and the General Disclosure Package.
For purposes of this subsection, (i) if the Effective Time of the Initial Registration
Statement is subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, “Registration
Statements” shall mean the initial registration statement as proposed to be amended by the
amendment or post-effective amendment to be filed shortly prior to its Effective Time, (ii)
if the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement but the Effective Time of the Additional Registration Statement
is subsequent to such execution and delivery, “Registration Statements” shall mean the
Initial Registration Statement and the additional registration statement as proposed to be
filed or as proposed to be amended by the post-effective amendment to be filed shortly
prior to its Effective Time, and (iii) “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus included in
the Registration Statements.
(b) If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is not prior to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, such Effective Time shall have occurred not later
than 10:00 P.M., New York time, on the date of this Agreement or such later date as shall
have been consented to by the Representatives. If the Effective Time of the Additional
Registration Statement (if any) is not prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, such Effective Time shall have occurred not later than 10:00 P.M., New York
time, on the date of this Agreement or, if earlier, the time the Prospectus is printed and
distributed to any Underwriter, or shall have
15
occurred at such later date as shall have been consented to by the Representatives.
If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission in
accordance with the Rules and Regulations and Section 5(b) of this Agreement. Prior to such
Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement shall
have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the
knowledge of any Selling Stockholder, the Company or the Representatives, shall be
contemplated by the Commission.
(c) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have
occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the
condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise which, in the reasonable judgment of a
majority in interest of the Underwriters including the Representatives, is material and
adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public
offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the
rating of any debt securities or preferred stock of the Company by any “nationally
recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under
the Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or
review its rating of any debt securities or preferred stock of the Company (other than an
announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a
possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial,
political or economic conditions as would, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the
Underwriters including the Representatives, be likely to prejudice materially the success
of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Securities, 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 any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (v) any suspension
of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter
market; (vi) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities; (vii)
any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United
States; or (viii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism
involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or
international calamity or emergency if, in the reasonable judgment of a majority in
interest of the Underwriters including the Representatives, the effect of any such attack,
outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment
for the Offered Securities.
(d) The Representatives shall have received an opinion, dated such Closing Date, of
Mayer, Brown, Xxxx & Maw LLP, counsel for the Company, 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 its properties and conduct its business as described in each of
the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package; and the Company is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other
jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified
would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate have a
Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) The Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date and all other
outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company have been duly authorized and
validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and conform in all material
respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus; and the
stockholders of the Company have no statutory preemptive rights or, to the
knowledge of such counsel, contractual preemptive rights, in each case with respect
to the Securities;
16
(iii) Other than as contained in the Stockholders Agreement, the Series AA
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Series BB Amended and
Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Series CC Amended and Restated
Registration Rights Agreement and the 2006 Registration Rights Agreement, there are
no contracts, agreements or understandings known to such counsel between the
Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to
file a registration statement under the Act with respect to any securities of the
Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include
such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement
or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement
filed by the Company under the Act;
(iv) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any
governmental agency or body or any court is required to be obtained or made by the
Company or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any Selling Stockholder for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with
the sale of the Offered Securities, except such as have been obtained and made
under the Act and such as may be required under state securities laws and the rules
of the NASD;
(v) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company
and the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated will not
result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any provision of applicable federal or state law or
regulation that in such counsel’s experience is normally applicable to general
business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by this
Agreement, or any agreement or instrument of which such counsel has knowledge to
which the Company or any such subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any
such subsidiary is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company or any
such subsidiary is subject, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected
to individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, or the charter
or by-laws of the Company or any such subsidiary; and the Company has full power
and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Offered Securities as contemplated
by this Agreement;
(vi) Such counsel was notified by a member of the staff of the Commission
that the Initial Registration Statement was declared effective under the Act as of
the date and time specified in such opinion, the Additional Registration Statement
(if any) was filed and became effective under the Act as of the date and time (if
determinable) specified in such opinion, the Prospectus either was filed with the
Commission pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) specified in such opinion on
the date specified therein or was included in the Initial Registration Statement or
the Additional Registration Statement (as the case may be), and, to the knowledge
of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or any part thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose
have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act, and each
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement
thereto, as of their respective effective or issue dates, complied as to form in
all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and
Regulations; no facts shall have come to the attention of such counsel that have
caused such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto, as of the latest effective date, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading; that the General Disclosure Package, as of the
Applicable Time, 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, 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 its issue date or as of such Closing Date, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state any material fact
17
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; the descriptions in the
Registration Statements, the General Disclosure Package and Prospectus of statutes,
legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents are accurate
and fairly present the information required to be shown; and such counsel does not
know of any legal or governmental proceedings required to be described in a
Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus which are
not described as required or of any contracts or documents of a character required
to be described in a Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the
Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to a Registration Statement which are not
described and filed as required; it being understood that such counsel need express
no opinion as to the financial statements or other financial data contained in the
Registration Statements, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus;
(vii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company; and
(viii) The Company is not as of the Applicable Time and, after giving effect
to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities and the application of the
proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be an “investment
company” or a “business development company” as defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, counsel for Selling Stockholders DLJ Merchant Banking Partners,
L.P., DLJMB Funding, Inc., DLJ First ESC, L.P. and DLJ ESC II, L.P. (collectively, the “DLJ
Selling Stockholders”) and for Selling Stockholders DLJ International Partners, C.V. and
DLJ Offshore Partners, C.V. (together, the “DLJ Foreign Selling Stockholders”), to the
effect that:
(i) Each DLJ Selling Stockholder is validly existing and in good standing as
a limited partnership or corporation under the laws of its jurisdiction of
formation;
(ii) Upon payment to the Voting Trustee for the Offered Securities to be sold
by the Voting Trustee on behalf of the DLJ Selling Stockholders and the DLJ Foreign
Selling Stockholders to each of the several Underwriters as provided in this
Agreement, the delivery of such Offered Securities to Cede or such other nominee as
may be designated by DTC, the registration of such Offered Securities in the name
of Cede or such other nominee and the crediting of such Offered Securities on the
records of DTC to security accounts in the name of such Underwriter (assuming that
neither DTC nor such Underwriter has notice of any adverse claim (as such phrase is
defined in Section 8-105 of the UCC) to such Offered Securities or any security
entitlement in respect thereof), (A) DTC shall be a “protected purchaser” of such
Offered Securities within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC, (B) under
Section 8-501 of the UCC, such Underwriter will acquire a security entitlement in
respect of such Offered Securities and (C) to the extent governed by Article 8 of
the UCC, no action based on any “adverse claim” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the
UCC) to such Offered Securities may be asserted against such Underwriter; it being
understood that for purposes of this opinion, such counsel has assumed that when
such payment, delivery and crediting occur, (x) such Offered Securities will have
been registered in the name of Cede or such other nominee as may be designated by
DTC, in each case on the Company’s share registry in accordance with its
certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, (y) DTC will be registered
as a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC and (z)
appropriate entries to the securities account or accounts in the name of such
Underwriter on the records of DTC will have been made pursuant to the UCC;
18
(iii) Except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
qualifications as may be required under applicable federal and state securities or
blue sky laws, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or
registration with, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
over any DLJ Selling Stockholder or any of their properties or assets is required
for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by any of the DLJ
Selling Stockholders;
(iv) The execution and delivery by each of the DLJ Selling Stockholders of,
and the performance by each of the DLJ Selling Stockholders of its obligations
under this Agreement will not (x) result in any violation of the provisions of the
organizational documents of such DLJ Selling Stockholder or (y) result in any
violation of any provision of the laws of the State of New York, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act or the federal laws of the United States of America (other than
federal and state securities or blue sky laws, as to which such counsel need not
express an opinion pursuant to this clause (iv)) except, in the case of this clause
(y), as would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect
on the performance by such DLJ Selling Stockholder of this Agreement;
(v) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each
of the DLJ Selling Stockholders;
(vi) The execution and delivery by each of the DLJ Selling Stockholders and
the DLJ Foreign Selling Stockholders of, and the performance by each of the DLJ
Selling Stockholders of its obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with
or result in any violation of the provisions of the Voting Trust Agreement; and
(vii) Assuming the accuracy of the representation and warranty in Section
2(c)(ix) of this Agreement, upon delivery of the Offered Securities by the Voting
Trustee to the Underwriters for sale pursuant to this Agreement against payment
therefor, the Offered Securities held by the Voting Trustee on behalf of the
Selling Stockholders will be validly released from the voting trust created by the
Voting Trust Agreement and such Voting Trust Agreement shall terminate with respect
to such Offered Securities.
(f) The Representatives shall have received an opinion, dated such Closing Date, of
De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek New York, counsel for the DLJ Foreign Selling Stockholders,
to the effect that:
(i) Each of the DLJ Foreign Selling Stockholders has been formed and is
existing as a limited partnership (commanditaire vennootschappen) under Netherlands
Antilles law;
(ii) The entry into and performance of this Agreement by each of the DLJ
Foreign Selling Stockholders is within its power;
(iii) No further action is required to be taken by either of the DLJ Foreign
Selling Stockholders to authorize their entry into and performance of this
Agreement;
(iv) This Agreement has been validly signed on behalf of each of the DLJ
Foreign Selling Stockholders;
(v) All governmental or regulatory consents, approvals or authorizations
required by the DLJ Foreign Selling Stockholders under Netherlands Antilles law for
their entry into and performance of this Agreement have been obtained;
19
(vi) Under Netherlands Antilles law there are no registration, filing or
similar formalities required to ensure the validity, binding effect and
enforceability against each of the DLJ Foreign Selling Stockholders of this
Agreement;
(vii) The entry into and performance of this Agreement by each of the DLJ
Foreign Selling Stockholders does not violate Netherlands Antilles law or its
respective partnership agreement;
(viii) Under Netherlands Antilles law the choice of New York law as the
governing law of this Agreement is recognized and accordingly New York law governs
the validity, binding effect and enforceability against each of the DLJ Foreign
Selling Stockholders of this Agreement; and
(ix) A judgment rendered by a New York court will not be recognized and
enforced by the Netherlands Antilles courts. However, if a person has obtained a
final and conclusive judgment for the payment of money rendered by a New York court
which is enforceable in New York (the “New York Judgment”) and files his claim with
the competent Netherlands Antilles court, that Netherlands Antilles court will
generally give binding effect to the New York judgment insofar as it finds that the
jurisdiction of the New York court has been based on grounds which are
internationally acceptable and that proper legal procedures have been observed and
unless the New York judgment contravenes Netherlands Antilles public policy.
(g) The Representatives shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel
for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated such Closing Date, with respect to
the incorporation of the Company, the validity of the Offered Securities delivered on such
Closing Date, the Registration Statements, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus
and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Selling
Stockholders and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(h) The Representatives shall have received a certificate, dated such Closing Date,
of the President or any Vice President and a principal financial or accounting officer of
the Company in which such officers, to their knowledge, shall state that: the
representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct; the
Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be
performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Closing Date; no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of any Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose have been instituted or are contemplated by the Commission; the Additional
Registration Statement (if any) satisfying the requirements of subparagraphs (1) and (3) of
Rule 462(b) was filed pursuant to Rule 462(b), including payment of the applicable filing
fee in accordance with Rule 111(a) or (b) under the Act, prior to the Applicable Time; and,
subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in each of the Prospectus
and the General Disclosure Package, there has been no material adverse change, nor any
development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition
(financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in each of the Prospectus and the General
Disclosure Package or as described in such certificate.
(i) The Representatives shall have received a certificate, dated such Closing Date,
of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in which such officer certifies that, without
giving effect to the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment and the
adoption or subsequent application of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, at May 31, 2007, (i) there has not been any decrease in
consolidated net current assets or increase in net assets of the Company as compared with
the amounts shown in the March 31, 2007 consolidated
20
balance sheet included in the Registration Statement and (ii) for the period from
April 1, 2007 to May 31, 2007, there is not any decrease (increase), as compared with the
corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net income (loss), except in
all instances for increases or decreases that the Registration Statement discloses have
occurred or may occur, except as set forth in such certificate.
(j) The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated such Closing Date, of
Ernst & Young LLP (i) that meets the requirements of subsection (a) of this Section, except
that the specified date referred to in such subsection will be a date not more than three
days prior to such Closing Date for the purposes of this subsection and (ii) in form and
substance satisfactory to the Representatives covering the financial information with
respect to the Company set forth in the Prospectus that is not also set forth in the
General Disclosure Package.
(k) The Representatives shall have received an opinion, dated such Closing Date, of
senior counsel in the Law Department of the Voting Trustee, counsel for the Voting Trustee,
to the effect that:
(i) The Voting Trustee is a national banking association validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.
(ii) The Voting Trustee is duly eligible and qualified to act as Voting
Trustee under this Agreement and the Voting Trust Agreement (collectively, the
“Agreements”).
(iii) The Voting Trustee has all requisite power, authority and legal right
to execute and deliver the Agreements and to perform its obligations under the
Agreements, and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize execution and
delivery of Agreements and the performance of its obligations under the Agreements.
(iv) The Voting Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the
Agreements. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the
other parties thereto, the Voting Trust Agreement is the legal, valid and binding
agreements of the Voting Trustee enforceable in accordance with their terms, except
to the extent enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights and remedies heretofore or hereafter enacted, and (ii) the
application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion in
appropriate cases.
(v) The execution, delivery, and performance of the Agreements does not now,
and will not upon consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby in
accordance with the existing terms thereof conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default under, any term or provision of the Articles of Association or
Bylaws of the Voting Trustee, any existing term or provision of any agreement,
contract, instrument or indenture of any nature whatsoever, known to me, to which
the Trustee is a party or by which it is bound; or, to my knowledge, any existing
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Voting Trustee, nor will it, to my knowledge, conflict
with or constitute a breach of or default under any law or administrative
regulation to which the Voting Trustee is subject (except that no representation,
warranty or agreement is made herein with respect to any federal or state
securities or Blue Sky laws or regulations) or result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the Voting Trustee.
(vi) To my knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations
pending or threatened against the Voting Trustee before any court, administrative
agency or tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of the Agreements or the Trust
Certificates (as defined
21
in the Voting Trust Agreement), (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (iii) that might materially and
adversely affect the performance by the Voting Trustee of its obligations under, or
the validity or enforceability of the Agreements. For purposes of the foregoing, I
have not regarded any actions, proceedings or investigations “threatened” unless
the potential litigants or governmental authority has manifested to a member of the
Xxxxx Fargo & Company Law Department having responsibility for litigation matters
involving the corporate trust activities of the Voting Trustee a present intention
to initiate such proceedings.
Such counsel may advise the Underwriters that such counsel is admitted to practice
in the State of Utah (the “State”) and does not purport to be an expert in or
generally familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions based on the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States (“Federal”) and
the State. In giving these opinions such counsel may assume with the Underwriters’
permission that the applicable laws of the State of New York and the State of
Delaware do not differ in any material respect from applicable Federal and State
laws.
(l) On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Representatives shall have
received lock-up letters from each of the stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule D
hereto.
The Selling Stockholders, the Voting Trustee and the Company will furnish the Representatives with
such conformed copies of the opinions listed in this Section 7 and such certificates, letters and
documents as the Representatives reasonably request. The Representatives may in their sole
discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of
the Underwriters hereunder, whether in respect of an Optional Closing Date or otherwise.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, affiliates and each person, if any, who
controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus,
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary 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, and will reimburse each
Underwriter for any legal or other expenses 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 Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information
described as such in subsection (c) below.
Insofar as the foregoing indemnity agreement, or the representations and warranties contained
in Section 2(a)(ii), may permit indemnification for liabilities under the Act of any person who is
an Underwriter or a partner or controlling person of an Underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act and who, at the date of this Agreement, is a director, officer or controlling person
of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such provisions
may contravene Federal public policy as expressed in the Act and may therefore be unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification under such agreement or such representations and
warranties for any such liabilities (except insofar as such agreement provides for the payment by
the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such a person, the Company
will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction (unless in the
22
opinion of counsel for the Company the matter has already been settled by controlling
precedent) the question of whether or not indemnification by it for such liabilities is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and therefore unenforceable, and the Company will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) The Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, affiliates and each person, if any,
who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed pursuant to Rule
433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary 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, and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses 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 Selling Stockholders 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 an Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being
understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in subsection (c) below; and provided further, however, that the
aggregate liability under this subsection and Section 18 of each Selling Stockholder shall be
limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and
discounts but before expenses, to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Offered Securities sold
by such Selling Stockholder hereunder. For each Selling Stockholder, the indemnity provided for in
this paragraph (b) shall apply only to the extent that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from a Registration Statement, each Statutory
Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed
pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary
prospectus is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by the applicable Selling Stockholder specifically for use therein; it being understood and
agreed that the only such information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling
Stockholder is that information regarding such Selling Stockholder set forth in the Prospectus in
the first line of the fourth risk factor under the caption “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the
Offering” and under the captions “Principal and Selling Stockholders”, “Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions” and “Underwriting”.
(c) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act, and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Company, such Selling Stockholder or such other persons 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus,
the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the 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 reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and each Selling Stockholder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are
incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any
Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each
Underwriter: the concession and
23
reallowance figures appearing in the fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting”, the
information contained in the sixth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” and the sixteenth
paragraph under the caption “Underwriting”.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against an indemnifying party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above except to the
extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than
under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall, except in the event of a conflict of interest,
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 will not
be liable to such indemnified party under this Section, as the case may be, for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party
unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action 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 an
indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) 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), (b) or (c) above (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
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 and the Selling Stockholders 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 and the Selling Stockholders 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 and the
Selling Stockholders 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, the Selling Stockholders or
the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. 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 (e) 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 (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (x) 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 and (y) no
Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this subsection (e) and Section 18
an aggregate amount in excess of the amount by which the aggregate gross proceeds after
underwriting
24
discounts and commissions but before expenses to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of
Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages
which such Selling Stockholder 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 (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their
respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section shall be
in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter or the QIU (as hereinafter defined) within the meaning of the 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 a Registration Statement and
to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act; subject, however,
to any limitations contained herein or therein.
9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations
to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First or any Optional Closing Date and the
aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered
Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the
Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Selling Stockholders for
the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if
no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be
obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the
Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing
Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered
Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of
shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date
and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholders for
the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such
default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except as provided in Section 11 (provided
that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this
Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior
to such termination). 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.
10. Qualified Independent Underwriter. The Company hereby confirms its engagement of
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. as, and Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. hereby confirms its agreement with the Company to
render services as, a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720(b)(15) of
the NASD with respect to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., in
its capacity as qualified independent underwriter and not otherwise, is referred to herein as the
“QIU”. As compensation for the services of the QIU hereunder, the Company agrees to pay the QIU
$10,000 on the First Closing Date.
11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Selling Stockholders, 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, any Selling Stockholder, the Company
or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and
will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the
Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid
or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5 and the respective
25
obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders, and the Underwriters pursuant to Section
8 and Section 18, and the obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders pursuant to
Section 10, shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the
representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain
in effect. If the purchase of the Offered 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 (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(c),
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
Offered Securities.

with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by
the Representatives jointly will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same Agreement.
16. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge
and agree that:
(a) the Underwriters have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the
sale of the Company’s securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the
Company or the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, has been
created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of
whether the Underwriters have advised or are advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on
other matters;
(b) the price of the securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company
and the Selling Stockholders following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the
Representatives and the Company and the Selling Stockholders are capable of evaluating and
understanding, and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;
26
(c) the Company and the Selling Stockholders have been advised that the Underwriters and
their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that
differ from those of the Company or the Selling Stockholders and that the Underwriters have no
obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company or the Selling Stockholders
by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) the Company and the Selling Stockholders waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any claims they may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of
fiduciary duty with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, agree that the Underwriters shall have no liability (whether
direct or indirect) to the Company or the Selling Stockholders in respect of such a fiduciary duty
claim or to any person asserting such a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the
Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.
17. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts
in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
18. Supplemental Indemnity of the QIU. (a) The Company and the Selling Stockholders,
severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., in its capacity
as QIU, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the QIU 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) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, each Statutory
Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed
pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary
prospectus, (ii) 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 or (iii) any act or
omission to act or any alleged act or omission to act by Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. as QIU in connection
with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or undertaken in preparing for the purchase,
sale and delivery of the Offered Securities, except as to this clause (iii) to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage or liability results from the gross negligence or bad faith of Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxx & Co. in performing the services as QIU, and will reimburse the QIU for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the QIU in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the
aggregate liability under this subsection (a) and Section 8 of each Selling Stockholder shall be
limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and
discounts but before expenses, to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Offered Securities sold
by such Selling Stockholder hereunder. For each Selling Stockholder, the indemnity provided for in
this subsection (a) shall apply only to the extent that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from a Registration Statement, each Statutory
Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed
pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary
prospectus is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by the applicable Selling Stockholder specifically for use therein; it being understood
that the only such information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Stockholder
specifically for use in a Registration Statement or the Prospectus is that information described in
Section 8(b) of this Agreement.
(b) Promptly after receipt by the QIU under subsection (a) above of notice of the
commencement of any action, the QIU shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Company or any Selling Stockholder under such subsection, notify the Company or the Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to
notify the Company or any Selling Stockholder shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to the QIU otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought
against the QIU and it shall notify the Company or
27
any Selling Stockholder of the commencement thereof, the Company or the Selling Stockholder
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that they shall wish, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to the QIU (who shall not, except with the consent of the QIU, be counsel to the
Company or any Selling Stockholder), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the QIU of
its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the
QIU under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each
case subsequently incurred by the QIU, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not, 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 QIU is an actual or
potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the QIU 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 the QIU.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 18 is unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., in its capacity as QIU, under subsection (a) above in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the QIU 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 Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the QIU on the other from the offering
of the Offered Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall
contribute to such amount paid or payable by the QIU in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling
Stockholders on the one hand and the QIU 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 Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the QIU on the other shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, as set forth in the table on the
cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the fee payable to the QIU pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or
the QIU 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 Selling
Stockholders and the QIU agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to
this subsection (c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection
(c). The amount paid or payable by the QIU as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (c) 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. 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.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (c), no Selling Stockholder shall be required to
contribute pursuant to this subsection (c) and Section 8 an aggregate amount in excess of the
amount by which the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions but
before expenses to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Offered Securities sold by such
Selling Stockholder hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission.
(d) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 18 shall
be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have
and shall
28
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the QIU
within the meaning of the Act; subject, however, to any limitations contained herein or therein.
