As Representatives of the several Underwriters

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Introductory. McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject
to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in
Schedule I (the “Underwriters”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth
in such Schedule I of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.250% Notes due

2021 (the “2021 Notes”), and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.000% Notes
due 2041 (the “2041 Notes” and, together with the 2016 Notes and the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”).
X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated have agreed to
act as representatives of the several Underwriters (in such capacity, the “Representatives”) in
connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.
The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 5, 2007 (the “Base
Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 28, 2011
(the “Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee with respect to the Notes (the “Trustee”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Company N.A.
(formerly The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.). Certain terms of the Notes will be
established pursuant to an officer’s certificate (the “Officer’s Certificate”) to the
Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture (together with the Base Indenture and the
Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes will be issued in book-entry form in the
name
of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”), pursuant to a Blanket
Letter of Representations, dated March 2, 2007 (the “DTC Agreement”), between the Company and the
Depositary.
The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement (file number 333-157176) on Form S-3,
covering the registration of certain securities, including the Notes, under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the
“Securities Act”), which registration statement was filed not earlier than three years prior to the
date hereof and became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act (“Rule
462(e)”). Such registration statement, as of any time, means such registration statement as amended
by any post-effective amendments thereto to such time, including the exhibits and any schedules
thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein
at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the documents otherwise
deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act (“Rule
430B”), and is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; provided, however, that the
“Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended
by any post-effective amendments thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the
Notes, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of such registration statement with
respect to the Notes within the meaning of Rule 430B(f)(2), including the exhibits and schedules
thereto as of such time, the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein at
such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the documents otherwise
deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B. Each preliminary prospectus and
preliminary prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Notes, including the
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of
Form S-3 under the Securities Act, are collectively referred to herein as the “Preliminary
Prospectus.” Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Execution Time”), the
Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”). The final prospectus and the
final prospectus supplement, in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriters for
use in connection with the offering of the Notes, including the documents incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, are
collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus”. Any reference herein to the Registration
Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the
documents that are or are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of
Form S-3 under the Securities Act prior to 4:24 p.m. (Eastern time) on February 23, 2011 (the
“Initial Sale Time”). For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration
Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of
the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”).
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information
which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to
include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the
Preliminary
2
Prospectus, as the case may be, at or prior to the Initial Sale Time; and all
references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, as the case
may be, after the Initial Sale Time.
The Company hereby confirms its agreements with the Underwriters as follows:
Section 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company
The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Underwriter as of the date
hereof and as of the Closing Date (as defined below), as follows:
(a) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Company meets the requirements for use of
Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has become effective under the
Securities Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or
notice objecting to its use, has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that
purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated
or threatened by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional
information has been complied with. In addition, the Indenture has been duly qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the “Trust Indenture Act”).
At the respective times the Registration Statement and the most recent amendment thereto for
purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by
post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act or form of prospectus) became effective and as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date,
the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (i) complied and will comply in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and (ii) did not
and will not contain any 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 not misleading. At the
date of the Prospectus and at the Closing Date, neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or
supplements thereto included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or
will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions
from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or the Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
Company in writing by any of the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use therein
(it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter through
the Representatives consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof) or to those
parts of the
Registration Statement that constitute the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust
Indenture Act of the Trustee.
3
Each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, at the time each was filed with the
Commission, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, and the Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering
of the Notes will, at the time of such delivery, be identical to any electronically transmitted
copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by
Regulation S-T.
(b) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (i) the Preliminary
Prospectus dated February 23, 2011, (ii) the issuer free writing prospectuses as defined in Rule
433 under the Securities Act (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), if any, identified in
Schedule II hereto and (iii) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall
hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package. As of the Initial
Sale Time, the Disclosure Package did not 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 under which they were made, not misleading. The immediately preceding sentence does
not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based 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 through the Representatives consists of the information described as
such in Section 8 hereof.
(c) Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with
the Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents included an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto, when such
documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in
all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,
and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
(d) Company is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. At the time of the filing of the Registration
Statement, at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment,
incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of
prospectus), at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for
this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Notes in
reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the Securities Act, and as of the Execution Time, the
Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
The Company has not received from the Commission any
notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic
shelf registration form.
4

Registration Statement, (ii) at the earliest time after the original filing of the Registration
Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the
meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Notes and (iii) as of the Execution Time (with such date being
used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iii)), the Company was not and is not
an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without taking account of
any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act that it is not
necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.
(f) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue
date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offering of Notes under this
Agreement or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representatives as
described in the immediately succeeding sentence, did not, does not and will not include any
information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the
Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, including any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or
modified. 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, the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the
Representatives and has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement, at
its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The
foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus based 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 through the Representatives
consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(as defined below) or the Registration Statement.

registration or other similar rights to have any equity or debt securities registered for sale
under the Registration Statement or included in the offering contemplated by this Agreement, except
for such rights as have been duly waived.
(i) The Underwriting Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company.
(j) Authorization of the Indenture. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
5
transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies
of creditors or by general equitable principles.
(k) Authorization of the Notes. The Notes to be purchased by the Underwriters from the
Company are in the form contemplated by the Indenture, have been duly authorized for issuance and
sale pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture and, at the Closing Date, will have been duly
executed by the Company and, when authenticated in the manner provided for in the Indenture and
delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, will constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general
equitable principles, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

one entity (any such change is called a “Material Adverse Change”).

obligations under this Agreement. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to
transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business,
except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or
otherwise, earnings, management, business, properties, results of operations or prospects of the
Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one entity (a “Material Adverse Effect”). McKesson
Financial Holdings Ltd., an Ireland corporation, McKesson International Holdings Ltd., an Ireland

(collectively, the “Operative Instruments”), and the consummation by the Company of the

violate or conflict with or result in any contravention of any provision of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), (B) will not conflict with the charter or by-laws of the

Package or the Prospectus and are not so described (including in the documents incorporated therein
by reference) or (ii) which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or
materially affect the power or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the
Operative Instruments, or to consummate any of the transactions contemplated by the Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus or the Operative Instruments. There are no contracts or other documents
that are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or

and date as the Underwriters and the Company shall mutually agree (the time and date of such
closing are called the “Closing Date”).
(c) Public Offering of the Notes. The Representatives hereby advise the Company that the
Underwriters intend to offer for sale to the public, as described in the Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus, their respective portions of the Notes as soon after the Execution Time as the
Representatives, in their sole judgment, have determined is advisable and practicable.
(d) Payment for the Notes. Payment for the Notes shall be made at the Closing Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the Company.
It is understood that the Representatives have been authorized, for their own accounts and for
the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment
of the purchase price for, the Notes that the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. The
Representatives may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any Notes to be purchased by
any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representatives by the Closing Date
for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from
any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Delivery of the Notes. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters the Notes at the Closing Date, against
the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the
purchase price therefor. The Notes shall be issued in book-entry only form and shall be
represented by one or more global certificates in such denominations and registered in such names
and denominations as the Representatives shall have requested at least two full business days prior
to the Closing Date and shall be made available for inspection on the business day preceding the
Closing Date at a location in New York City as the Representatives may designate. Time shall be of
the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition
to the obligations of the Underwriters.
Section 3. Covenants of the Company.
The Company covenants and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:
(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company will promptly
notify the Representatives, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness during the
Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined below) of any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Preliminary Prospectus or
the
Prospectus, (ii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission
during the Prospectus Delivery Period, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment
to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or
11
the
Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing, suspending
or objecting to the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the suspension of
the qualification of the Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or
threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company will promptly effect the
filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act and will take such steps as it
deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus
transmitted for filing under Rule 424 under the Securities Act was received for filing by the
Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such document. The Company
will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop
order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(b) Filing of Amendments. During such period beginning on the date of this Agreement and
ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date as, in the opinion of counsel for the
Underwriters, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales
of the Notes by an Underwriter or dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement may be
satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), the
Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to
the Registration Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act), or
any amendment, supplement or revision to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, whether pursuant
to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, will furnish the Representatives with copies
of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case
may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the
Underwriters shall reasonably object.
(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company will deliver, upon request, to the
Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, a conformed copy of the
Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for
each of the Underwriters. The Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the
Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the
Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(d) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company will deliver to each Underwriter, without charge,
as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request, and the
Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the Securities Act.
The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the Prospectus Delivery
Period, such number of copies of the Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The
Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to
the Underwriters will be identical to any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the
Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(e) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Notes as
contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus. If at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period any event
shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of
counsel for the
12
Underwriters or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement in order that
the Registration Statement will 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 not
misleading or to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include an 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 at the Initial Sale Time or at the time it is delivered
or conveyed to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of either
such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of any law, the
Company will (1) notify the Representatives of any such event, development or condition and (2)
promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, such amendment or
supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration
Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus comply with such law, and the Company will
furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement
as the Underwriters may reasonably request.
(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company shall cooperate with the Representatives and counsel for
the Underwriters to qualify or register the Notes for sale under (or obtain exemptions from the
application of) the state securities or blue sky laws of those jurisdictions designated by the
Representatives, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations
and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Notes. The Company shall
not be required to qualify to transact business or to take any action that would subject it to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it
would be subject to taxation as a foreign business. The Company will advise the Representatives
promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating
to) the Notes for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any
proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such
qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(g) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes sold
by it in the manner described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Prospectus and
the Prospectus.
(h) Depositary. The Company will cooperate with the Underwriters and use its reasonable best
efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of
the Depositary.
(i) Periodic Reporting Obligations. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company shall
file, on a timely basis, with the Commission all reports and documents required to be filed under
the Exchange Act.
(j) Agreement Not to Offer or Sell Additional Securities. During the period commencing on the
date hereof and ending on the Closing Date, the Company will not, without
the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld at the sole
discretion of the Representatives), offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or
contract
13
to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant
to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any debt securities of or
guaranteed by the Company which are substantially similar to the Notes.
(k) Final Term Sheet. The Company will prepare a final term sheet, in a form approved by the
Representatives and included in Exhibit A to Schedule II to this Agreement, and will file such term
sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule (such
term sheet, the “Final Term Sheet”). Any such Final Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.
(l) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents that it has not made, and
agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not make,
any offer relating to the Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that
would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule
433 under the Securities Act; provided that the prior written consent of the Representatives shall
be deemed to have been given in respect of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses included in
Schedule II to this Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to or deemed to be
consented to by the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (i) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has complied and
will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities
Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with
the Commission, legending and record keeping. The Company consents to the use by any Underwriter
of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule
433, and (b) contains only (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Notes or their
offering, (ii) information permitted by Rule 134 under the Securities Act or (iii) information that
describes the final terms of the Notes or their offering and that is included in the Final Term
Sheet of the Company contemplated in Section 3(k).
(m) No Manipulation of Price. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to
constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of
any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.
(n) Registration Statement Renewal Deadline. If immediately prior to the third anniversary
(the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the
Notes remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline file, if it
has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement
relating to the Notes, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives. If the Company is
no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will prior to the
Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating
to the Notes, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, and will use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such registration statement to be
declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all
other action reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the
Notes to
14
continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Notes.
References herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new automatic shelf
registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.
(o) Notice of Inability to Use Automatic Shelf Registration Statement Form. If at any time
when Notes remain unsold by the Underwriters the Company receives from the Commission a notice
pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or otherwise ceases to be eligible to use the automatic shelf
registration statement form, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Representatives, (ii)
promptly file a new registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating
to the Notes, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, (iii) use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared
effective as promptly as practicable and (iv) promptly notify the Representatives of such
effectiveness. The Company will take all other action reasonably necessary or appropriate to
permit the public offering and sale of the Notes to continue as contemplated in the registration
statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Company has otherwise
become ineligible to use the automatic shelf registration form. References herein to the
“Registration Statement” shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment,
as the case may be.
(p) Filing Fees. The Company agrees to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to
the Notes within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) of the Securities Act and otherwise in
accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Securities Act.
(q) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are
necessary in order to make generally available to its respective security holders as soon as
practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by,
the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
The Representatives, on behalf of the several Underwriters, may, in their sole discretion,
waive in writing the performance by the Company of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or
extend the time for their performance.
Section 4. Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all costs, fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation (i) all expenses incident
to the issuance and delivery of the Notes (including all printing and engraving costs), (ii) all

Notes, (iii) all fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel, independent public or certified public
accountants and other advisors, (iv) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the

supplements thereto, and this Agreement, the Indenture, the DTC Agreement and the Notes, (v) all
filing fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Company or the Underwriters in
connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining
exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Notes in
accordance with Section 3(f) hereof for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws,
and, if
15
requested by the Representatives, preparing a “Blue Sky Survey” or memorandum, and any
supplements thereto, advising the Underwriters of such qualifications, registrations and
exemptions, (vi) the filing fees incident to, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
to the Underwriters in connection with the review, if any, by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) of the terms of the sale of the Notes, (vii) the fees and expenses of the
Trustee, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection
with the Indenture and the Notes, (viii) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the

shall pay their own expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their counsel.
Section 5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of
the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Notes as provided herein on the Closing Date
shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company

Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information shall have
been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of counsel to the Underwriters. The Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule

Section 8. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or such director,
officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise
(including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent
of the Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect
thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure
18
Package
or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and to reimburse each Underwriter and
each such director, officer, employee, agent and controlling person for any and all expenses
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives) as such
expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such director, officer, employee, agent or
controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying
any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent,
but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for
use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus,
the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity
agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company
may otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company or any such director, officer or
controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal
or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any
litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar
as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated
below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary
Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or
the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein;
and to reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal and
other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss,
claim, damage,
liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information
furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the
19
statements
set forth in the third paragraph concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters, the
third sentence of the seventh paragraph regarding market making by the Underwriters, and the eighth
paragraph concerning short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover short positions
created by the Underwriters, in each case, under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary
Prospectus and the Prospectus. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in
addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 8 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 this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such
failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified
party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other
indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party;
provided, however, such indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any
such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party, unless: (i) the employment of such counsel has
been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party; (ii) the indemnifying party has
failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party; or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both
such indemnified party and the indemnifying party or any affiliate of the indemnifying party, and
such indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that either (x) there may be one or more
legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party or such affiliate of the indemnifying party or (y) a conflict may exist between
such indemnified party and the indemnifying party or such affiliate of the indemnifying party (it
being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such
action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to a single firm of local counsel) for all such
indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and that all
such reasonable fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred). Upon receipt of
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election
so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the
proviso to the next preceding sentence, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
20
(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 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 party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified
party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i)
such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or
consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i)
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are
the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
Section 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for
any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the
offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company,
on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one
hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Notes
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total
net proceeds from the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each
case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public
offering price of the Notes as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company, on the
one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the
one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
21
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 8(c), any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
The Company 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 which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in
connection with the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public. 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, and not joint,
in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in
Schedule I. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer, employee and agent of an
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter,
and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration
Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
Section 10. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing
Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes that it or
they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes,
which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not
exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date, the other
Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of
such Notes set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal
amount of such Notes set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in
such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the
non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase such Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any
one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase such Notes and the aggregate
principal amount of such Notes with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to
the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Notes are not made within 48 hours
after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other
party except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8, 9 and 17 shall at all times be effective and
shall survive such termination. In any such case, either the Representatives or the Company shall
have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no
event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the
Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. For purposes of this Section 10,
the 2016
22
Notes, the 2021 Notes and the 2041 Notes shall be treated as three separate series of
Notes, and the term Notes in this Section 10 shall apply to each series separately.
As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person
substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10. Any action taken under this
Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of
such Underwriter under this Agreement.
Section 11. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this
Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time
(i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by
the Commission or The New York Stock Exchange, or trading in securities generally on either the
Nasdaq Stock Market or The New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum
or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the
Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal
or New York authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or
international hostilities or any crisis or calamity involving the United States, or any change in
the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development
involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial
or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes
it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes in the manner and on the terms described in the
Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in
the judgment of the Representatives there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v)
there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or
clearance services. Any termination pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability of any
party to any other party except as provided in Sections 4 and 6 hereof, and provided further that
Sections 4, 6, 8, 9 and 17 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
Section 12. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the
purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the
public offering price of the Notes and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length
commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the
other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts
the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in
connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction
each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor,
agent or fiduciary of the Company or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any
other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is
currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the
Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth
in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their
respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests
that differ from those of the Company and the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose
any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the
23
Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the
offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral)
between the Company and the several Underwriters with respect to the subject matter hereof. The
Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the
Company may have against the several Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty.
Section 13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its
officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement (i) will
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any (A) investigation, or statement as
to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the officers or employees of any
Underwriter, or any person controlling the Underwriter, the Company, the officers or employees of
the Company, or any person controlling the Company, as the case may be or (B) acceptance of the
Notes and payment for them hereunder and (ii) will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes
sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Underwriters pursuant to Section 10 hereof, and
to the benefit of the directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons
referred to in Sections 8 and 9, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person
will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any purchaser
of the Notes as such from any of the Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.
Section 16. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of

to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and
enforceable.

CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE

OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
Section 18. Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the
Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their
respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal
policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or
investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company, its
subsidiaries and/or the offering of the Notes that differ from the views of their respective
investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent
25
permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any
conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent
research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or
advice communicated to the Company by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company
acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time
to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the
account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the
companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 19. General Provisions. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be
waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. The Section
headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction
or interpretation of this Agreement.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it is a sophisticated business person who was
adequately represented by counsel during negotiations regarding the provisions hereof, including,
without limitation, the indemnification provisions of Section 8 and the contribution provisions of
Section 9, and is fully informed regarding said provisions. Each of the parties hereto further
acknowledges that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereto fairly allocate the risks in light of
the ability of the parties to investigate the Company, its affairs and its business in order to
assure that adequate disclosure has been made in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus (and any amendments and supplements thereto), as required by the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act.
26
