PROVISIONS APPLICABLE BY REASON OF THE DISTRIBUTION
IN THE UNITED STATES
Because it is expected that a portion of the Notes will be distributed in the
United States of America, the Issuer and the Managers agree as follows:
1. Representations and Warranties. The Issuer represents and warrants to
the Managers that:
(a) the Registration Statement has been declared effective and no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has
been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or,
to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened by the Commission; and the
Registration Statement and Prospectus comply, or will comply, as the
case may be, in all material respects with the Securities Act and do
not and will not, as of the effective date of the Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto and as of the date of the
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, 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, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at the
Closing Date, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; except that the foregoing representations
and warranties shall not apply to statements or omissions in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information relating to any Manager furnished to the
Issuer by such Manager through the Lead Managers expressly for use
therein; and
(b) there has not occurred any material adverse change, or any development
involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the
general affairs, business or financial condition of the Issuer and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole or, to the best knowledge of the Issuer,
in the financial, political or economic condition of the Federal
Republic of Germany, in each case from that set forth in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
2. Agreements of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees as follows:
(a) if not filed as of the date hereof, to file the Prospectus Supplement
with the Commission within the time periods specified by Rule 424 under
the Securities Act;
(b) to deliver, at the expense of the Issuer, to the Lead Managers and to
U.S. counsel for the Managers, a conformed copy of the Registration
Statement (as originally filed) and each amendment thereto, in each
case without exhibits, and, during
Subscription Agreement KfW
the period mentioned in paragraph (e) below, to each Manager as many
copies of the Prospectus (including all amendments and supplements
thereto) as the Lead Managers may reasonably request;
(c) before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus applicable to the Notes, whether before or after the
time the Registration Statement becomes effective, to furnish to the
Lead Managers a copy of the proposed amendment or supplement for review
and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the
Lead Managers promptly and reasonably object;
(d) to advise the Lead Managers promptly, and to confirm such advice in
writing (i) as to when any amendment to the Registration Statement
applicable to the Notes shall have become effective, (ii) of any
request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus for any
additional information, in each case applicable to the Notes, (iii) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (iv) of the receipt
by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Notes for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or
the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
to use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
or notification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the
withdrawal thereof;
(e) if, during such period of time within six months after the first date
of the public offering of the Notes, as in the opinion of U.S. counsel
for the Managers, a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in
connection with sales by any Manager or dealer, any event shall occur
as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not
misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus
to comply with law, forthwith to notify the Lead Managers and upon
request of the Lead Managers to prepare and furnish, at their own
expense, to the Managers and to the dealers (whose names and addresses
the Lead Managers will furnish to the Issuer) to which Notes may have
been sold by any Manager and to any other dealers, such amendments or
supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the
statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in
the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a
purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as so amended or
supplemented, will comply with law; and in case any Manager is required
to deliver the Prospectus in connection with sales of any Notes at any
time six months or more after the date of the Prospectus, upon request
of the Lead Managers but at the expense of such Manager, to prepare and
furnish to such Manager an amended or supplemented Prospectus complying
with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
Subscription Agreement KfW
(f) to make generally available to holders of the Notes and to the Lead
Managers as soon as practicable an earnings statement or statements of
the Issuer (in the English language) covering a period of at least
twelve months beginning with the first fiscal year of the Issuer
occurring after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and
Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder;
(g) to endeavour to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Lead Managers
shall reasonably request and to continue such qualification so long as
reasonably necessary for the distribution of the Notes and to pay all
fees and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Managers) reasonably incurred in connection with such qualification and
in connection with the determination of the eligibility of the Notes
for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Lead
Managers may designate; provided that the Issuer shall not be required
to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or a dealer in
securities or to subject itself to taxation or to file a general
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.
3. Indemnification. The Issuer agrees to indemnify each Manager and its
directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any
Manager within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act, and any affiliate of such Manager, from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of or in connection
with the distribution of the Notes in the United States (including without
limitation the legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any
such suit, action or proceeding or claim asserted) caused by any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus
supplement, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Issuer in
writing by such Manager through the Lead Managers expressly for use therein;
provided that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any preliminary prospectus
supplement shall not inure to the benefit of any Manager (or to the benefit of
any person controlling such Manager) from whom the person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Notes if such untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such preliminary
prospectus supplement is eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus and, if
required by law, a copy of the Prospectus shall not have been furnished to such
person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Notes to such
person.
Each Manager agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Issuer, its
directors (or persons performing similar functions), officers and employees and
other persons who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who
controls the Issuer within
Subscription Agreement KfW
the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer to
such Manager, but only with reference to information furnished to the Issuer by
such Manager in writing through the Lead Managers expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or
any preliminary prospectus.
If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental investigation),
claim or demand shall be brought or asserted in the United States against any
person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two
preceding paragraphs, such person (the "Indemnified Person") shall promptly
notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying
Person") in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the
Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the
Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person
has failed within a reasonable time after receiving such request to retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or (iii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Person
shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm
(in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Persons, and that
all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such
separate firm for the Managers shall be designated in writing by _____________,
on behalf of the Lead Managers, and any such separate firm for the Issuer or its
directors or officers who sign the Registration Statement and such control
persons of the Issuer shall be designated in writing by the Issuer. The
Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding in
which it has elected to participate effected without its written consent, but if
such a suit is settled with such consent or if any proceeding in which the
Indemnifying Person, after having received notice thereof, shall have elected
not to participate is settled with or without such consent or if there be a
final judgement for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify
the Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse
the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the
third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person 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 Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying
Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall,
Subscription Agreement KfW
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3 is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person, then each Indemnifying
Person shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Issuer on the one hand and the Managers on the other from the offering of
the Notes 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 Issuer on the one hand and the Managers on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in losses, claims, damages or
liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Issuer on the one hand and the Managers on the other
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer bear to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Managers. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer,
on the one hand, or the Managers, on the other, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an Indemnified Person as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first
sentence of this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
subsection. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, no Manager shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Notes subscribed by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Manager has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Managers' obligations in this subsection to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
commitments and not joint.
The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 3 are in addition to any
liability which the Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified
Persons referred to above.
Subscription Agreement KfW
The indemnity provisions contained in this Section 3 and the representations and
warranties of the Issuer contained herein shall remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Manager or any person controlling any
Manager or by or on behalf of the Issuer, its officers or directors (or persons
performing similar functions) or any person controlling the Issuer or signing
the Registration Statement and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Notes.
4. Sale in the United States. The Managers have agreed for the benefit of the
Issuer in the invitation telex with respect to the offering of the Notes to
comply with certain limits on the amount of Notes that may be sold in the United
States (__% of the aggregate principal amount). Each Manager agrees to notify
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, as counsel to the Managers, of the U.S. Sales Amount
applicable to it seven calendar days after the Closing Date. The Managers agree
to cause Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx to promptly thereafter report the aggregate
U.S. Sales Amounts applicable to the Managers to Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, as counsel
for the Issuer. For purposes of the foregoing, the U.S. Sales Amount applicable
to a Manager shall mean the total aggregate principal amount of Notes initially
sold in the United States by such Manager as part of its initial allotment.
Nothing in this Schedule 4 shall constitute a submission by the Issuer or any
Manager to the jurisdiction of any court of or in the United States.
5. Stabilisation
In connection with this offering of notes, _____ or its affiliates may purchase
and sell the Notes in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by
short sales. Short sales involve the sale by _____ or its affiliates of a
greater number of the Notes than they are required to purchase in the offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the
purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes
while the offering is in progress.
_____ may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular Manager
repays to _____ a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because
_____ or its affiliates have repurchased Notes sold by or for the account of
such Manager in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
These activities by _____ or its affiliates may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the Notes may be
higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these
activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by _____ or its affiliates at
any time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or
otherwise.
