seq.) and Motorola, Inc. (the "Company" and, together with the Trust, the
"Offerors"), confirm their agreement with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., Xxxxxxx Lynch,
Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated ("Xxxxxxx Xxxxx") and each of the other

substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom Xxxxxxx

"Representatives") with respect to the issue and sale by the Offerors and the
purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the
respective number of the Trust's preferred securities (liquidation preference
$25 per preferred security) representing preferred undivided beneficial
interests in the assets of the Trust ("TOPrS" or the "Trust Preferred
Securities") set forth in said Schedule A.
The payment of periodic cash distributions with respect to the Trust
Preferred Securities and payments on liquidation or redemption with respect to
such Trust Preferred Securities will be each guaranteed by the Company on behalf
of the Trust (the "Preferred Securities Guarantee"), in each case only out of
funds held by the Trust, pursuant to the Preferred Securities Guarantee
Agreement (the "Preferred Securities Guarantee Agreement"), to be entered into
between the Company and a guarantee trustee (the "Guarantee Trustee"), and
entitled to the benefits of certain backup undertakings described in the
Prospectus (as defined below) with respect to the Company's agreement pursuant
to the Indenture (as defined below) to pay all expenses relating to
administration of the Trust (the "Undertakings"). The Trust Preferred
Securities and the related Preferred Securities Guarantee are referred to herein
as the "Offered Securities."
The Offerors understand that the Underwriters propose to make a public
offering of the Offered Securities as soon as the Representatives deem advisable
after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.
The entire proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities will be
combined with the entire proceeds from the sale by the Trust to the Company of
its undivided common beneficial interests in the Trust's assets represented by
common securities (the "Common Securities") and will be used by the Trust to
purchase the unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the
"Subordinated Debentures") of the Company issued by the Company to the Trust.
The Trust Preferred Securities and the Common Securities for the Trust will be
issued pursuant to an amended and restated Declaration of Trust of the Trust
(the "Declaration"), among the Company, as Sponsor, _____________(the "Regular
Trustees"), Xxxxxx Trust and Savings Bank, a ____________, as property trustee
(the "Property Trustee"), and First Union Bank of Delaware, a Delaware
corporation (the "Delaware Trustee" and, together with the Regular Trustees and
the Property Trustee, the "Trustees"), and the holders from time to time of
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. The Subordinated
2
Debentures will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture"), between
the Company and Xxxxxx Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee (the "Debt Trustee").
The Offerors have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. _________) for the
registration of up to a combination of $500,000,000 of (i) Trust Preferred
Securities, (ii) Preferred Securities Guarantees, and (iii) Subordinated
Debentures under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and
the offering thereof under the 1933 Act. Such registration statement has been
declared effective by the Commission and the Indenture has been duly qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939 Act"). Such
registration statement (as so amended, if applicable), including the

to the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus" shall also be deemed to
include all documents incorporated therein by reference pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), prior to the
execution of this Agreement; provided, further, that if the Offerors file a
registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933
Act Regulations (the "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement"), then, after such
filing, all references to the "Registration Statement" shall also be deemed to
include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement; and provided, further, that if
the Company elects to rely upon Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations, then all
references to the "Prospectus" shall also be deemed to include the final or
preliminary prospectus and the applicable term sheet or abbreviated term sheet
(the "Term Sheet"), as the case may be, in the form first furnished to the
Underwriters by the Company in reliance upon Rule 434 of the 1933 Act
Regulations, and all references in this Agreement to the date of the Prospectus
shall mean the date of the Term Sheet. A "preliminary prospectus" shall be
deemed to refer to any prospectus used before the Registration Statement became
effective and any prospectus that omitted, as applicable, the Rule 430A
Information, the Rule 434 Information or other information to be included upon
pricing in a form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations and was used after such effectiveness and

the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Term Sheet or preliminary prospectus or
to any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to
include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data

other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" (or other
references of like import) in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or
preliminary prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial
statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary prospectus,
as the case may be, prior to the execution of this Agreement; and all references

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Each Offeror jointly and severally represents and warrants to each
Underwriter as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Time referred to in
Section 2(b) hereof (each such date being hereinafter referred to as a
"Representation Date") and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:

Registration Statement) has become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or such
Rule 462(b) Registration Statement) has been issued under the 1933 Act and
no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any
request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been
complied with.
At the respective times the Registration Statement (including any Rule
462(b) Registration Statement) and any post-effective amendments thereto
(including the filing of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K with the Commission (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K")) became
effective and at each Representation Date, the Registration
4
Statement (including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement) and any
amendments thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with
the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1939
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the
"1939 Act Regulations") and did not and 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. Each preliminary prospectus and prospectus filed as part of the
Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment
thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, complied when so
filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations. At the date
of the Prospectus and at the Closing Time (as defined below), neither the
Prospectus nor any amendments and 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;
provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this
subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any
Underwriter, or on behalf of any Underwriter by the Representatives,
expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. If the
Offerors elect to rely upon Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations, the
Offerors will comply with the requirements of Rule 434.
(ii) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, at
the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and
will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the "1934 Act
Regulations") and, when read together and with the other information in the
Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement and any amendments
thereof became or become effective under the 1933 Act and at the Closing
Time did not and 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, in the light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading.
(iii) The Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole have not
sustained since the date of the latest financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any material loss or
interference with its
5
business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not
covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental
action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth, incorporated by
reference or contemplated in the Prospectus; and, since the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated or incorporated therein, there
has not been any change in the capital stock (other than upon exercise of
outstanding stock options or upon conversion of convertible securities
outstanding on the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the
Prospectus or pursuant to the Company's employee stock ownership plan or
pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plans or the Company's
employee savings and profit sharing plan), any significant increase in the
long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or any
material adverse change, or any development which the Company has
reasonable cause to believe will involve a prospective material adverse
change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, consolidated
financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or, other than the
Company's regular quarterly dividend, any dividend or distribution of any
kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital
stock.

Securities, the Subordinated Debentures, the Preferred Securities
Guarantee, and the Preferred Securities Guarantee Agreement, and the

duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not conflict
with or constitute a breach of, or a default under, any
6
material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or
other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which
the Company is bound; nor will such action result in a violation of the
provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws
of the Company, as amended, or any applicable law, rule, regulation,
judgment, order or administrative or court decree; and the Company has
corporate power and authority to purchase, own and hold the Common
Securities.
(vii) Other than (a) as set forth, incorporated by reference, or
contemplated in the Prospectus and (b) litigation incident to the kind of
business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries, which in the case
of those items in (b) individually and in the aggregate is not material to
the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, there are no legal
or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company and its
subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the
Company or its subsidiaries, the Company has reasonable cause to believe
would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial position, stockholders' equity or results of
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole; and,
to the best of the Company's knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened
or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

(b) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to

SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to the Underwriters; Closing.
(a) On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and
subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Offerors agree to sell
to each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally
and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Offerors, at the price and on such
terms set forth in Schedule B, the number of Offered Securities set forth in
Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter.
(b) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, any Offered
Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the offices of
Xxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxx, 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, or at such
other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, on
the third business day (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9) after the date hereof, unless the Offered Securities are priced after
4:30 p.m. New York time in which case such payment and delivery will be made on
the fourth business day following the date hereof (unless postponed in
accordance with the provisions of
11
Section 9), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date
as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and
date being referred to as a "Closing Time"). Payment shall be made to the Trust
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by
the Company, against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts
of the Underwriters of the Offered Securities to be purchased by them. It is
understood that each Underwriter has authorized Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, for its account,
to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for,
the Offered Securities which it has severally agreed to purchase. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,
individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not
be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Offered Securities
to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the
Closing Time but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its
obligations hereunder.
As compensation to the Underwriters for their commitments hereunder and in
view of the fact that the proceeds of the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities
will ultimately be used to purchase the Subordinated Debentures of the Company,
the Company hereby agrees to pay at Closing Time to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, for the
accounts of the several Underwriters, a commission per Trust Preferred Security
set forth on Schedule B hereto. At the Closing Time, the Company will pay, or
cause to be paid, the commission payable at such time to the Underwriters under
this Section 2 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account
designated by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx for the account of the Underwriters.
(c) Certificates for the Offered Securities shall be in such denominations
and registered in such names as the Representatives may request in writing at
least one business day before the Closing Time. The certificates for the
Offered Securities, which may be in temporary form, will be made available for
examination and packaging by the Representatives in New York City not later than
10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the last business day prior to the Closing Time.
SECTION 3. Covenants. Each of the Offerors jointly and severally covenant
with the Representatives and with each Underwriter as follows:
(a) The Offerors, subject to Section 3(b), will comply with the
requirements of Rule 430A of the 1933 Act Regulations and/or Rule 434 of the
1933 Act Regulations, if and as applicable, and will notify the Representatives
immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any
post-effective
12
amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of any supplement or
amendment to the Prospectus, (ii) the receipt of any comments on the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus from the Commission, (iii) any request
by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement to 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 or
suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the
qualification of the Offered Securities for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of
such purposes. The Offerors will promptly effect the filings necessary pursuant
to Rule 424 and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly
whether the Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424 was received for
filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly
file the Prospectus. The Offerors will make every reasonable effort 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) Each Offeror 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) of the 1933 Act Regulations) or any amendment,
supplement or revision to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the
1934 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) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be
delivered under the 1933 Act, will file promptly all reports and any definitive
proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.
(d) The Company will deliver to each of the Representatives two copies of
the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto
(including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and, if
applicable, documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to
Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 0000 Xxx) and will also deliver to the
Representatives, from time to time during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, as many conformed
copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment
thereto (without exhibits)
13
as the Representatives may reasonably request. 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.
(e) The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many
copies of each preliminary prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably
request, and the Offerors hereby consent to the use of such copies for purposes
permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without
charge, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business day next
succeeding the date of this Agreement and from time to time during the period
when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably
request. 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.
(f) The Offerors will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations
and the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of
the distribution of the Offered Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. If at any time when the
Prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales
of the Offered Securities any event shall occur as a result of which it is
necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus
not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is
delivered to a purchaser, the Company will forthwith amend or supplement the
Prospectus (in form and substance satisfactory to your counsel) so that, as so
amended or supplemented, the Prospectus 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 existing at the time it is
delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, and the Company will furnish to the
Representatives a reasonable number of copies of such amendment or supplement.

data and schedules included therein, as to which no belief need be expressed),
at the time the Registration Statement (including any Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement) or any post-effective amendment thereto (including the filing of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission) became effective or at
the Closing Time contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto (other than the financial statements, financial data and
schedules included therein, as to which no belief need be expressed), at the
time the Prospectus was issued, at the time any such amended or supplemented
prospectus was issued or at the Closing Time, included or includes an untrue

Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United
States, and the rules and regulations thereunder.
At the Closing Time, the Representatives shall also have received the

for the performance by the Trust of the transactions contemplated
under the Prospectus, this Agreement, the Declaration, the Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities.
(6) The issuance and sale by the Trust of the Trust Preferred
Securities and the Common Securities, the purchase by the Trust of the
Subordinated Debentures, the execution, delivery and performance by
the Trust of this Agreement, the consummation by the Trust of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance by the
Trust with its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not violate (A)
any of the provisions of the Certificate of Trust or the Declaration
or (B) any applicable Delaware law or administrative regulation.
(7) The Declaration constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
the Company and the Trustees, and is enforceable against the Company
and the Trustees, in accordance with its terms.

Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Property Trustee and the Guarantee Trustee,

Trustee and the Guarantee Trustee, respectively, in accordance with
their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by the
Bankruptcy Exceptions.
(3) The execution, delivery and performance of the Declaration

counsel for the Underwriters, together with signed or reproduced copies of
such letter for each of the other Underwriters, with respect to the matters
set forth in (1) (insofar as it relates to the existence and good standing
of the Company), (3) to (7) (it being understood that any opinion required

law or under the Declaration), (8), (9) (insofar as it relates as to
compliance of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as to form),

the Preferred Securities," "Description of Subordinated Debentures," and

giving such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to all matters governed by
the laws of jurisdictions other than the law of the State of New York, the
State of Illinois, the federal law of the United States and the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, upon the opinions of counsel
satisfactory to the Representatives. Such counsel may also state that,
insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, they have relied, to the
extent they deem proper, upon certificates of officers of the Company and
its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.
(c) (i) The Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole shall have
not sustained since the date of the latest financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any loss or interference with its
business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered
by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order
or decree, otherwise than as set forth, incorporated by reference or
contemplated in the Prospectus, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus there

Prospectus or pursuant to the Company's employee stock ownership plan or
pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plans or the Company's
employee savings and profit sharing plan) or any significant increase in long-
term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole or any
change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the
general affairs, management, consolidated financial position, stockholders'
equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered
as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or incorporated by reference or
contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described
in clause (i) or (ii), is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus.
(d) On or after the date of this Agreement (i) no downgrading shall have
occurred in the rating accorded the Company's debt securities by any "nationally

(f) At the time of the execution of this Agreement, you shall have received
from KPMG Peat Marwick a letter dated such date, in form and substance
satisfactory to you, to the effect that (i) they are independent public
accountants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning
of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; (ii) it is their opinion that the
financial statements and supporting schedules included in or incorporated by
reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and covered by their

1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations; (iii) based upon limited procedures set
forth in detail in such letter, nothing has come to their attention which causes
them to believe that (A) the unaudited financial statements and supporting
schedules of the Company and its subsidiaries included in or incorporated by
reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus do not comply as to
form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations or the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act
Regulations, as the case may be, or are not presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially
consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in or
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or
(B) at a specified date not more than three days prior to the date of this
Agreement, there has been any change in the capital stock of the Company (other
than
27
upon exercise of outstanding stock options or upon conversion of convertible
securities outstanding on the date of the most recent balance sheet included in
or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus or pursuant to the Company's
employee stock ownership plan or pursuant to the Company's stock purchase plans
or the Company's employee savings and profit sharing plan) or any increase in
the consolidated long term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries or any
decrease in consolidated net current assets or net assets as compared with the
amounts shown in the most recent balance sheet included in or incorporated by
reference into the Prospectus or, during the period from the date of the most
recent financial statements included in or incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus to a specified date not more than three days prior to the date of
this Agreement, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding
period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales, net earnings or net
earnings per share of the Company and its subsidiaries, except in all instances
for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus disclose have occurred or may occur; and (iv) in addition to the
examination referred to in their opinions and the limited procedures referred to
in clause (iii) above, they have carried out certain specified procedures, not
constituting an audit, with respect to certain amounts, percentages and
financial information which are included in or incorporated by reference into
the Registration Statement and Prospectus and which are specified by you, and
have found such amounts, percentages and financial information to be in
agreement with the relevant accounting, financial and other records of the
Company and its subsidiaries identified in such letter.
(g) At Closing Time, the Representatives shall have received from KPMG Peat
Marwick a letter, dated as of Closing Time, to the effect that they reaffirm the
statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (f) of this
Section, except that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more
than three business days prior to Closing Time.
(h) At Closing Time counsel for the Underwriters shall have been furnished
with such documents and opinions as they may require for the purpose of enabling
them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, as
contemplated herein, and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the
accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any
of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Offerors
in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities and the
issuance of the Subordinated Debentures shall be reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters.
28
(i) At Closing Time, the Offered Securities shall have been approved for

If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled
when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the
Representatives by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to Closing Time
and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party
except as provided in Section 4 and except that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall
survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. Indemnification.
(a) The Offerors agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information and the
Rule 434 Information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement, if
applicable, 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 arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus
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;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based
29
upon any such untrue statement or omission or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission; provided that any such settlement is effected with
the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including,
subject to Section 6(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel
chosen by the Representatives), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or
any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such
expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement does not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or 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 (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information and
the Rule 434 Information deemed to be a part thereof, if applicable, or any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto); and further provided that this indemnity agreement does not apply to
any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in a
preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus if a copy of
the Prospectus (excluding documents incorporated therein by reference) was not
delivered by you to the person asserting the claim arising from such untrue
statement or omission or such alleged untrue statement or omission, at or prior
to the time required by the 0000 Xxx.
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Offerors, each of the Company's directors, the Trustees, each of the Offerors'
officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the
indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only
with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or
omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto),
including the Rule 430A Information and the Rule 434 Information deemed to be a
part thereof, if applicable, or any preliminary prospectus or the
30
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto) or such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto).
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by
written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the
aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, 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 shall
not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal
expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation. In no event shall the indemnifying
parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to
any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties
in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in
the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances.
SECTION 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties
although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Offerors and you shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and
you, as incurred, in such proportions that you are responsible for that portion
represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the
cover page of the Prospectus bears to the initial public offering price
appearing thereon and the Offerors are responsible for the balance; provided,
however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
31
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For
purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who controls you within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same right to contribution
as you, and each director of the Company, the Trustees, each officer of the
Offerors who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have
the same rights to contribution as the Offerors.
SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or
contained in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
submitted pursuant hereto or thereto, shall remain operative and in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Offerors, and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities.
SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.
(a) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company,
at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, if (i) the Company and its
subsidiaries considered as a whole shall have sustained since the date of the
latest financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion,
flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set
forth, incorporated by reference or contemplated in the Prospectus, or since the
respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus there shall have been any change in the capital stock (other
than upon exercise of outstanding stock options or upon conversion of
convertible securities outstanding at the date of the most recent balance sheet
included in the Prospectus or pursuant to the Company's employee stock ownership
plan or pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plans or the Company's
employee savings and profit sharing plan) or any significant increase in long-
term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole or any
change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the
general affairs, management, consolidated financial position, stockholders'
equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered
as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or incorporated by reference or
contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described
in this clause (i), is in your judgment so material
32
and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
public offering or the delivery of the Offered Securities on the terms and in
the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, or (ii) there has occurred any
material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the
declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other
calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change
in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in
each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment
of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Offered Securities
or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Offered Securities, or (iii) a
suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company's Common Stock, the
Trust Preferred Securities or securities generally on the New York Stock
Exchange, or (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New
York or Illinois has been declared by either Federal or state authorities.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8
shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of
the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Offered
Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the
"Defaulted Securities"), then the Representatives shall have the right, within
24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting
Underwriters, or any other underwriters reasonably acceptable to the
Representatives, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted
Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set
forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such
arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
(a) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not
exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities to be
purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated,
severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the
proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the
underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or
(b) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10%
of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities
33
to be purchased on such date pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the
Company.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.
In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right
to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to
effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or
in any other documents or arrangements.
SECTION 11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or
transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the
Underwriters shall be directed to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx at Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., 0000
Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Schmeideler; notices to
the Company or the Trust shall be directed to it at: 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Treasurer.
SECTION 12. Parties. This Agreement shall each inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Offerors, and their respective
successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or
shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the
Underwriters and the Offerors and their respective successors and the
controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 6 and 7
and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein
contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof and thereof
are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and
thereto and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and
officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the
benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Offered
Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason
merely of such purchase.
SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW AND TIME. THIS UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.
34
SECTION 14. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement,
please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this
Agreement, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between
the Underwriters and the Offerors in accordance with its terms.
