The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of _________

preliminary prospectus for the registration of the Securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and
regulations thereunder (the "Securities Act Regulations"). The Company has
prepared and filed such amendments thereto, if any, and such amended preliminary
prospectuses, if any, as may have been required to the date hereof, and will
file such additional amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may
hereafter be required. The registration statement has been declared effective

reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and
all information deemed to be a part of the registration statement at the time it
became effective pursuant to Rule 430A(b) of the Securities Act Regulations) is
hereinafter called the "Registration Statement," except that, if the Company
files a post-effective amendment to such registration statement which becomes
effective prior to the Closing Time (as defined below), "Registration Statement"
shall refer to such registration statement as so amended. Each prospectus
included in the registration statement, or amendments thereof, before it became
2
effective under the Securities Act and any prospectus filed with the Commission
by the Company with the consent of the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 424(a) of
the Securities Act Regulations (including the documents incorporated by
reference therein) is hereinafter called the "Preliminary Prospectus." The term
"Prospectus" means the final prospectus (including the documents incorporated by
reference therein), as first filed with the Commission pursuant to paragraph (1)
or (4) of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations. The Commission has not
issued any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus.

or a breach or default under any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement, note, lease or other instrument known to such counsel to
which either the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by
which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound
except for such breaches as would not have a material adverse effect,
individually or in the aggregate, on the conduct of the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business affairs or
business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
one enterprise, nor will such action (assuming compliance by the
Underwriters with all applicable state securities or blue sky laws)
result in a violation on the part of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries of any applicable law or regulation or of any
administrative, regulatory or court decree known to such counsel.
In rendering their opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of
fact relating to the Company, upon certificates or representations of
officers of the Company relating to such facts.
(2) The favorable opinion, dated as of Closing Time, of your
counsel, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, with
15
respect to the matters set forth in (i), (v), (vi), (vii) and, solely
as it relates to the information set forth under the caption
"Description of Senior Notes" in the Prospectus, (xi), of subsection
(b)(1) of this Section. In rendering their opinion, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx &
Xxxxxxxx may rely as to matters of Pennsylvania law upon the opinion
of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Bockius LLP.
(c) At Closing Time there shall not have been, since the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any
material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the
Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or in the
earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its
subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the
ordinary course of business, and you shall have received a certificate of
the President or the Vice President and Secretary of the Company and the
principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated as of
Closing Time, to the effect that there has been no such material adverse
change and to the effect that the other representations and warranties of
the Company contained in Section 1 are true and correct with the same force
and effect as though expressly made at and as of Closing Time and that the
Company has complied with all its agreements contained herein and that they
have examined the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and that, in
their opinion, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus did not include any untrue
statement of a material fact and did not omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading.
(d) At the time of the execution of this Agreement, the Underwriters
shall have received from Coopers & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. a letter dated such date,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that
(i) they are independent public accountants as required by the Securities
Act and the Securities Act Regulations; (ii) it is their opinion that the
financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and covered by their opinion therein comply as to
form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and
regulations thereunder; (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 pro forma financial statements
included in the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of
Regulation S-X or, after making inquiries of certain officials of the
Company as to the basis for their determination of the pro forma
adjustments, that the pro forma adjustments in such unaudited pro forma
financial statements have not been
16
properly applied to the historical amounts in the unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial statements, (B) the unaudited financial statements
of the Company and its subsidiaries included in the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 do not comply
as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder or are not fairly presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent in
all material respects with the audited financial statements included in the
Registration Statement, or (C) during the period from September 30, 1995 to
a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of this
Agreement, there has been any change in the capital stock or long-term
debt of the Company or its subsidiaries or any decrease in consolidated
total assets or shareholder's equity of the Company and its subsidiaries as
compared with the amounts shown in the September 30, 1995 consolidated
balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or
any decrease, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding
year, in net interest income or in the total or per share amounts of net
income of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, except
in each case as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement;
(iv) they have read in the Registration Statement the information in the
table under the caption "Capitalization" and the notes thereto and certain
dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information specified by
the Underwriters which is included or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement and have performed the procedures set forth in
detail in such letter and have found such amounts, percentages or other
financial information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting and
financial records of the Company and its subsidiaries.
(e) At the time of the execution of this Agreement, the Underwriters
shall have received letters dated such date, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Underwriters from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, to the effect
set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)(C) of paragraph (d) above with
respect to the financial statements of Fairfax incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(f) At Closing Time the Underwriters shall have received from Coopers
& Xxxxxxx LLP a letter, dated as of Closing Time, to the effect that they
reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to paragraph
(d) of this Section, except that the "specified date" referred to shall be
a date not more than five days prior to Closing Time.
(g) At Closing Time counsel for the Underwriters shall have been
furnished with such documents, certificates and
17
opinions as they may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling them to
pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated
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 Company in connection
with the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated shall
be satisfactory in form and substance to you and your counsel.
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 Underwriters 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 6 and 7 hereof
shall survive such termination.
SECTION 6. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify each Underwriter and hold each
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act harmless 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) 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 to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any
litigation, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon
any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement
or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including, subject
to Section 6(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by
such Underwriter) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any
18
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 the Company shall not be liable under this paragraph
--------
6(a) in any case for 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 or on behalf of any Underwriter expressly for use in
the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and
provided further that as to any Preliminary Prospectus this indemnity agreement
----------------
shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter or any person controlling that
Underwriter on account of any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising
from the sale of Securities to any person by that Underwriter if that
Underwriter failed to send or give a copy of the Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented at that time, to that person within the time required by the
Securities Act, and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such
Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus as so amended or
supplemented, unless such failure to deliver the Prospectus resulted from non-
compliance by the Company with paragraph 3(d) hereof. For purposes of the last
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the term "Prospectus" shall not
be deemed to include the documents incorporated therein by reference, and no
Underwriter shall be obligated to send or give any supplement or amendment to
any document incorporated by reference in any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus to any person other than a person to whom such Underwriter had
delivered such incorporated document or documents in response to a written
request therefor.
In case of any notice to the Company under this indemnity agreement with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense with respect to any claim made
against any Underwriter or any person controlling such Underwriter, the Company
shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or if it so
elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, to assume the
defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim, but if it so elects to
assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and
reasonably satisfactory to such Underwriter or any person or persons controlling
such Underwriter, defendant or defendants in any suit so brought. In the event
that the Company elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such
counsel, such Underwriter or such controlling person or persons, defendant or
defendants in the suit, shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional
counsel thereafter retained by such Underwriter or such controlling person or
persons; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6(c) hereof, any
Underwriter shall have the right to employ counsel to represent such Underwriter
or any
19
person who controls such Underwriter who may be subject to liability arising out
of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company
if, in the reasonable judgment of counsel for such Underwriter, representation
of such Underwriter and the Company by the same counsel would be inappropriate
because there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Underwriter or
any such controlling person or persons which are different from or additional to
those available to the Company, in which event the fees and expenses of
appropriate separate counsel shall be borne by the Company.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed
the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in
subsection (a) of this Section, but only arising out of untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
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 prompt notice to each
indemnifying party of any action threatened or commenced against it in respect
of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have
otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement except to the extent that
the indemnifying party has been prejudiced in any material respect by such
failure. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the
defense of such action. In no event shall an indemnifying party be liable for
the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to 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.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply only to losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses arising out of the types of untrue
statements or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions
described in paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b), respectively. The obligations of the
Company and the Underwriters under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any
liability which the Company or the Underwriters may otherwise have.
SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in
------------
Section 6 shall for any reason be held to be
20
unenforceable by the indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b), although
applicable in accordance with its terms, then each indemnifying party shall, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to
the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, 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 with respect to such offering shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the
Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this
Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the
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
or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7 were to be 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 into
account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7
shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities
underwritten by it and distributed to the public was offered to the public
exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or
become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Underwriters' obligations to contribute as provided in
this
21
Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations
and not joint.
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 submitted
pursuant hereto, although speaking only as of the dates at which such
representations, warranties and agreements are made, shall remain operative and
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Underwriters or by or on behalf of any person controlling the
Underwriters, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of
the Securities to the Underwriters.
SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement. The Underwriters may also
------------------------
terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to
Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Registration Statement, any material adverse change
in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries
considered as one enterprise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has
occurred any new outbreak of hostilities or escalation of any existing
hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial
markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable
professional judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable to market the
Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if
trading in the securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or
if trading or quotation generally on either the New York Stock Exchange, the
American Stock Exchange, or the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended, or
minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for
prices for securities have been required, by either of said Exchanges or the
Nasdaq National Market or by order of the Commission or any other governmental
authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal,
Pennsylvania or Maryland authorities, or if the rating assigned by any
nationally recognized statistical rating agency to any debt securities of the
Company as of the time of this Agreement shall have been lowered since that date
or if any such agency shall have publicly announced that it has placed under
surveillance or review with possible negative implications its rating of any
debt securities of the Company.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
as provided in Section 4, and provided further that Sections 6 and 7 hereof
shall survive such termination.
22
SECTION 10. Default by An Underwriter. If one of the Underwriters
-------------------------
shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it is obligated
to purchase under this Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), the non-
defaulting Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to
purchase, or make arrangements for any other underwriters 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 non-defaulting
Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour
period, then:
(a) if the principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed
10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof, or
(b) if the principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters.
No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.
In the event of such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement, either the non-defaulting Underwriter 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 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 Xxxxxxxxxxx & Co., Inc., Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention of Xxxxxxx
XxXxxxxxxx; and notices to the Company shall be directed to it at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Vice
President and Secretary.
SECTION 12. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
-------
and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company 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
parties hereto 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 are intended to be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their
23
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 Securities from an Underwriter
shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.
SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW AND TIME. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
----------------------
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SAID STATE. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER
TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.
24
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this
instrument along with all counterparts will become a binding agreement between
the Underwriters and the Company in accordance with its terms.
