(3) |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
(together with the Lead Managers, the “Managers”). |
The parties hereby record the arrangements between them in respect of an issue of [INSERT
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] % Global Notes due
of the Issuer (the “Notes”).
(1) The Issuer agrees to issue the Notes on (the “Closing Date”).
(2) The terms and conditions applicable to the Notes are set forth in the Terms and Conditions of
the Notes (the “Conditions”) attached hereto as Schedule 1.1.
(3) The Notes will be issued in the denomination of [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] [1,000] each and
will be represented by two or more permanent global certificates without interest coupons (the
"Global Certificates”). One of the Global Certificates (the “ICSD Global Certificate”) will be kept
in custody by or on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme, Luxembourg (“CBL” and, together with Euroclear, the “ICSDs”), or any successors, until all
obligations of the Issuer under the Notes have been satisfied. The ICSD Global Certificate will be

depositary for the ICSDs, and represents the Notes credited to accounts of financial institutions
that are accountholders of the ICSDs, including such Notes which are held through any other

maintained with DTC by financial institutions that are participants in DTC. The Notes represented
by the ICSD Global Certificate and the DTC Global Certificate, respectively, will together equal
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at any time. The amount of Notes
represented by each of the ICSD Global Certificate and the DTC Global Certificate will be evidenced
by the register (the “Register”) kept by the Registrar (as defined in § 1(4) below). Definitive
certificates and interest coupons for individual Notes will be issued only in certain limited
circumstances for Notes represented by the DTC Global Certificate. The ICSD Global Certificate and
the DTC Global Certificate will be substantially in the forms set out in Schedule 2.1. and
Schedule 3.1, respectively.

Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it will undertake stabilization action. Any

4
Xxxxxxxx LLP to promptly thereafter report the aggregate U.S. Sales Amounts applicable to the
Managers to Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, as U.S. counsel for the Issuer. For purposes of the foregoing,

incur or which may be made against any of them arising out of, in relation to, or in connection
with, any failure by it to observe the terms and provisions set out in Schedule 6 (to the
extent that any such failure relates to the issue, offering and distribution of the Notes by a
Manager outside the United States or possession or distribution of any of the Disclosure Documents
or any other offering material by a Manager outside the United States) and in § 6(2)(b) above.
(4) Each Manager agrees not to disclose without the Issuer’s prior written consent the comfort
letters issued by [•], auditors of the Issuer (“[•]”), pursuant to § 10(1)(e) in
connection with the issue of the Notes, including any attachment to such comfort letter (together

(“DBTCA”), or any successor, as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, New York (“DTC”) until
all obligations of the Issuer under the Notes have been satisfied. The DTC Global Certificate is
issued in registered form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC (the “DTC Registered
Holder”, together with the ICSD Registered Holder, the “Registered Holders”), and represents the
Notes credited to accounts maintained with DTC by financial institutions that are participants in
DTC. Definitive certificates and interest coupons for individual Notes represented by the DTC
Global Certificate shall the not be issued, unless DTC is unable or unwilling to continue providing
its services and a successor securities depositary is not obtained. In such a case, a holder of

definitive certificates representing its individual Notes and corresponding interest coupons.
Each person ultimately holding a Note is referred to as a “Holder”.
The ICSD Global Certificate and the DTC Global Certificate shall each be manually signed by two
authorized representatives of the Issuer and manually authenticated by or on behalf of the
Registrar (as defined in § 8). The Notes represented by the ICSD Global Certificate and the DTC
Global Certificate, respectively, will together equal the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
outstanding at any time. The amount of Notes represented by each of the ICSD Global Certificate and
the DTC Global Certificate is evidenced by the register (the
13
“Register”) kept by the Registrar. Copies of the ICSD Global Certificate and the DTC Global
Certificate are available free of charge at the Paying Agent (as defined in § 8).
(3) Transfer. Transfers of Notes shall require appropriate entries in securities accounts.

other hand, and exchanges of Notes pursuant to § 1(4) below may not be effected during the period
commencing on the Record Date (as defined in § 5(3)) and ending on the related payment date (both
dates inclusive).
(4) Exchange. The Notes represented by the DTC Global Certificate may be exchanged for
Notes represented by the ICSD Global Certificate, and vice versa. Such exchanges shall be recorded
in the Register and shall be effected by an increase or a decrease in the principal amount of the
DTC Global Certificate by the principal amount of Notes so exchanged and a corresponding decrease
or increase in the principal amount of the ICSD Global Certificate.

(b) Any DTC Holder shall receive payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Notes in U.S. dollars, unless such DTC Holder elects to receive payments in [INSERT
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] in accordance with the procedures set out below. To the extent that
DTC Holders shall not have made such election in respect of any payment of principal or
interest, and provided that there is no event as described in § 5(2) below, the aggregate
amount designated for all such DTC Holders in respect of such payment (the “[INSERT
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] Conversion Amount”) shall be converted by the Paying Agent into U.S.
dollars and paid by wire transfer of same day funds to, or to the order of, the DTC
Registered Holder for payment through DTC’s settlement system to the relevant DTC
participants. All costs of any such conversion shall be deducted from such payments. Any
such conversion shall be based on the bid quotation of the Paying Agent, at or prior to
11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the second Conversion Business Day preceding the relevant

the Paying Agent for such purpose. If no bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank
is available, payment of the [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] Conversion Amount shall be made
in [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] to the account or accounts specified by DTC to the Paying
Agent. Until such account or accounts are so specified, the funds still held by the Paying
Agent shall bear interest at the rate of interest quoted by the Paying Agent for deposits
with it on an overnight basis, to the extent that the Paying Agent is reasonably able to
reinvest such funds.

Holder’s election to receive all or a portion of such payment in [INSERT DESIGNATED
CURRENCY] and (ii) wire transfer instructions to a [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] account.
Such election in respect of any payment shall be made by the DTC Holder at the time and in
the manner required by the DTC procedures applicable from time to time and shall, in
accordance with such procedures, be irrevocable. DTC’s notification of such election, wire
transfer instructions and the amount payable in [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] pursuant to
this § 5(1)(c) must be received by the Paying Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on
the fifth New York Business Day following the relevant Record Date in the case of interest
and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the eighth New York Business Day prior to the

DESIGNATED CURRENCY] shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to [INSERT DESIGNATED
CURRENCY] accounts designated by DTC.
(d) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer to, or to the order of, the
Registered Holders at the close of business on the relevant Record Date, respectively,
shall discharge the liability of the Issuer under the Notes to the extent of the sums so
paid.
(2) Availability of [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY]. If the Issuer determines (i) that any
amount payable on a relevant payment date in [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or any successor currency
to it provided for by law (the “Successor Currency”) is not available to it in freely negotiable
and convertible funds for reasons beyond the Issuer’s control, (ii) that [INSERT DESIGNATED
CURRENCY] or the Successor Currency is no longer used for the settlement of international financial
transactions, (iii) that the settlement of payments in [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or the
Successor Currency by a clearing system may not be effected or is disrupted on a relevant payment
date, or (iv) that due to other reasons beyond the Issuer’s control either any amount in [INSERT
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or the Successor Currency payable on a relevant payment date is not available
to the Issuer, or payments of such amounts may not be effected, the Issuer may fulfill its payment
obligations by making such payment in U.S. dollars on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after,
the respective payment date on the basis of the applicable exchange rate. No further interest or
any other payment shall be due as a result thereof. The applicable exchange rate for [INSERT
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or the Successor Currency is (i) if available, the noon dollar buying rate in
New York City for cable transfers for [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or the Successor Currency on the
second New York Business Day preceding the particular payment date as certified for customs
purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, or any successor rate thereto, (ii) if the rate under (i) is not available, the spot foreign
exchange rate at which [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or the Successor Currency is offered in
exchange for U.S. dollars at noon, Frankfurt time, on the second Conversion Business Day preceding
the date on which the payment is effected, or (iii) if the rate under (ii) is not available, the
spot foreign exchange rate for [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] or the Successor Currency as determined
by the Issuer in its equitable discretion.

date determined in accordance with the conventions observed by the ICSDs from time to time for the
entitlement of ICSDs accountholders to payments in respect of debt securities denominated in
[INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] and represented by permanent global certificates held in custody by or
on behalf of the ICSDs; and (b) the tenth New York Business Day preceding the relevant payment
date.
(4) Business Days. If any due date for payment of principal or interest in [INSERT
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] in respect of any Note, to or to the order of, the Registered Holders is not a

payment shall not be made until the next [PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL CENTRE OF THE COUNTRY ISSUING THE
DESIGNATED CURRENCY] Business Day, and no further interest shall be paid in respect of the delay in
such payment. If any due date for payment of principal or interest in U.S. dollars in respect of
any Note, to or to the order of, the DTC Registered Holder is not a [PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL CENTRE OF
THE COUNTRY ISSUING THE DESIGNATED CURRENCY] Business Day or not a New York Business Day, such
payment shall not be made until the next day which is both a [PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL CENTRE OF THE
COUNTRY ISSUING THE DESIGNATED CURRENCY] Business Day and a New York Business Day, and no further
interest shall be paid in respect of the delay in such payment. “New York Business Day” means any
day (other than a Saturday or Sunday), that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which

provided for herein, without taking account of any such adjustment.
(6) Substitution of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent may, in respect of its functions and
duties under § 5(1)(a) through (c) above with respect to payments to, or to the order of, the DTC
Registered Holder, substitute for itself its affiliate DBTCA, if and to the extent, if so required
by law, an additional Paying Agent shall be maintained in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Any Holder may, at its option, through the ICSDs or DTC, declare its Notes due and demand repayment
thereof at their principal amount plus interest accrued to the date of repayment if the Issuer
shall fail to pay any amount payable hereunder within 30 days from the relevant due date. The right
to declare Notes due shall cease if the Issuer has made payment to, or to the order of, the
Registered Holders before the Holder has exercised such right. Any notice declaring Notes due shall
be made by means of a written notice to be delivered by hand or registered mail to the Issuer
together with proof that such Holder at the time of such notice is a Holder of the relevant Notes
by means of a certificate of the Holder’s Custodian (as defined in § 11(3)) pursuant to § 11(3)(a).

Soweit DTC-Anleihegläubiger für eine Zahlung von Kapital oder Zinsen keine derartige Xxxx
getroffen haben und kein Fall des § 5(2) vorliegt, wird der für alle diese
DTC-Anleihegläubiger bei dieser Zahlung bestimmte Gesamtbetrag (der “[INSERT DESIGNATED

in gleichtägig verfügbaren Mitteln an den DTC-Eingetragenen Gläubiger oder dessen Order zur
Auszahlung über das Abrechnungssystem der DTC an die betreffenden DTC-Teilnehmer gezahlt.
Alle Kosten eines derartigen Umtauschs werden von diesen Zahlungen abgezogen. Jeder
derartige Umtausch basiert auf dem Ankaufskurs der Zahlstelle vor oder um 11.00 Uhr (New

Ankaufskurs nicht gibt, wird die Zahlstelle von einer im Devisenhandel führenden Bank in New
York City, die von der Zahlstelle zu diesem Xxxxx ausgewählt wird, einen Ankaufskurs
einholen. Falls kein Ankaufskurs einer im Devisenhandel führenden Bank erhältlich ist,
erfolgt die Zahlung des [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY]-Umtauschbetrages in [INSERT DESIGNATED

Schuldverschreibungen in [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] wählen, indem er die DTC durch den
betreffenden DTC-Teilnehmer dazu veranlasst, die Zahlstelle zu dem nachfolgend bestimmten
Zeitpunkt über (i) die Xxxx dieses DTC-Anleihegläubigers, diese Zahlung ganz oder zum Teil
in [INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY] zu empfangen, und (ii) den Auftrag zur Überweisung auf ein
[INSERT DESIGNATED CURRENCY]-Konto zu benachrichtigen. Eine derartige Xxxx hat für die
jeweilige Zahlung durch den DTC-Anleihegläubiger zu dem Zeitpunkt und in der Art und Xxxxx
zu erfolgen, wie sie von den jeweils anwendbaren Verfahrensregeln der DTC gefordert wird,

(d) | the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes does not, and will not, conflict with or infringe the KfW Law, the By-Laws (Satzung) of the Issuer or any of its other |

obligations or any rule of law (including, without limitation, any statute, regulation,
rule, decree or order) to which it is subject with respect to such particular use.
2. | Agreements of the Issuer. The Issuer agrees as follows: | |
(a) | if not filed as of the date hereof, to file the Pricing Supplement with the Commission within the time periods specified by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act; | |
(b) | to furnish, upon the reasonable request of the Lead Manager(s), without charge, to the Lead Manager(s) 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 in each case to the extent applicable to the Notes, and, during 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 Manager(s) may reasonably request; | |
(c) | before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus applicable to the Notes, whether before or after the time the Registration Statement becomes effective, to furnish to U.S. counsel for the Managers a copy of the proposed amendment or supplement for review and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the U.S. counsel for the Managers promptly and reasonably objects; | |
(d) | to advise the Lead Manager(s) 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 (in each case to the extent applicable to the Notes) or of any stop order suspending or preventing the use of the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus relating to the Notes 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, and 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 Manager(s) and upon request of the Managers to prepare and furnish, at their own expense, to the Lead Manager(s) and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Lead Manager(s) will furnish to the Issuer) to which Notes may have been sold by any Manager, 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, |
38
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 Manager(s) 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;
(f) | to make generally available to holders of the Notes and to the Lead Manager(s) as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Securities Act Regulations, and | |
(g) | to endeavor to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions, if and to the extent KfW and the Lead Manager(s) have so agreed, 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 agreed between KfW and the Lead Manager(s); provided, however, 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. | Free Writing Prospectuses. | |
(a) | The Issuer shall not, subject to § 1(c)(v) and § 3(b) of this Schedule, make any offer relating to Notes that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act Regulations), without the prior consent of the Lead Manager(s); and the Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 433 of the Securities Act Regulations with respect to any such free writing prospectus; | |
(b) | Subject to the last sentence of this § 3(b), the Issuer shall prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”), containing a summary of the terms of the Notes, which shall be in a form approved by the Lead Managers and shall reflect the terms agreed with the Lead Managers. The Issuer shall file the Final Term Sheet with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act Regulations within the time period prescribed by such Rule. These provisions shall not apply if the Lead Manager(s) shall have advised the Issuer on behalf of the Managers, prior to pricing of the Notes, that term sheet(s) will not be used in connection with the sale of the Notes. |
4. Agreements of the Managers. Each Manager shall not make any offer relating to the Notes
that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act
Regulations) required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 of the Securities Act
Regulations, without the prior consent of the Issuer; provided, however, that, unless the
Managers have advised the Issuer pursuant to § 3(b) of this Schedule that term sheet(s) are not to
be used in connection with the sale of the Notes, each Manager may, in its discretion, distribute
one or more term sheets relating to the Notes containing customary information that is consistent,
in all material respects, with the Final Term Sheet prepared and filed by the Issuer pursuant to §
3(b) of this Schedule. Any free writing prospectus (including, without limitation, any term sheet)
permitted by the preceding sentence (i) shall not, as of its issue date and through the Closing
Date, include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, and (ii) shall not, when considered together with the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, contain an
39
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;
provided, however, that no Manager shall make any representation and warranty to the Issuer
with respect to statements in or omissions from any such free writing prospectus made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any (y) “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities
Act Regulations) prepared by the Issuer or (z) information furnished to any Manager in writing by
the Issuer for use in such free writing prospectus.
5. 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 reasonably 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 any Disclosure Document (as defined in §3(2) of this Agreement and
which term, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
other documents specified in such §3(2)), 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 Manager
Information (as defined in §8(2) of this Agreement) furnished to the Issuer in writing by such
Manager directly or through the Lead Manager(s) expressly for use therein .
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 the meaning of either Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any affiliate of the Issuer, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer to such Manager, but only with reference to
Manager Information (as defined in §8(2) of this Agreement) furnished to the Issuer by such Manager
in writing directly or through the Lead Manager(s) expressly for use in the Disclosure Documents.
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
40
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 the Documentation Manager, on behalf of the Lead Manager(s), 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, 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, as a result of the distribution of the Notes in the United States and notwithstanding § 16(1)
of this Agreement, an Indemnified Person cannot avail itself of the indemnification provided for in
this § 5 in whole or in part, 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
41
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 § 5 are in addition to any liability which the
Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred to above.
The indemnity provisions contained in this § 5 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.
6. Sale in the United States. Each Manager agrees to notify Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx
LLP, as U.S. 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 LLP to promptly
thereafter report the aggregate U.S. Sales Amounts applicable to the Managers to Xxxxxxxx &
Xxxxxxxx LLP, as U.S. counsel to 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.
7. Stabilization
In connection with this offering of notes, the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it
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 the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it 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.
The Stabilization Manager may also impose a penalty bid, which occurs when a particular Manager
repays to the Stabilization Manager a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because
the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it has repurchased Notes sold by or for the
account of such Manager in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
These activities by the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it 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 the Stabilization Manager or any person acting for it at any
time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
42
8. Interpretation
Notwithstanding that this Schedule shall be governed by and construed in accordance with German
law, any terms used in this Schedule reflecting terms used in U.S. federal securities laws shall be
interpreted according to the meanings attributed to them in such laws.
