Ladies and Gentlemen:
Quintiles Transnational Corp., a North Carolina corporation (the "Company"),
proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell
to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriters") an aggregate
of 235,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Stock") of the Company and
the shareholders of the Company named in Schedule II hereto (the "Selling
Shareholders") propose, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to
sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 565,000 shares and, in the case of
certain Selling Shareholders identified with an asterisk in Schedule II hereto
and at the election of the Underwriters, up to 120,000 additional shares of
Stock. The aggregate of 800,000 shares to be sold by the Company and the Selling
Shareholders is herein called the "Firm Shares" and the aggregate of 120,000
additional shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders identified with an
asterisk in Schedule II hereto is herein called the "Optional Shares". The Firm
Shares and the Optional Shares which the Underwriters elect to purchase pursuant
to Section 2 hereof are herein collectively called, the "Shares".
It is understood and agreed to by all parties that the Company and the
Selling Shareholders are concurrently entering into an agreement, a copy of
which is attached hereto (the "U.S. Underwriting Agreement"), providing for the
sale by the Company and the Selling Shareholders of up to a total of 3,680,000
shares of Stock (the "U.S. Shares"), including the overallotment option
thereunder, through arrangements with certain underwriters in the United States
(the "U.S. Underwriters"), for whom Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated, Xxxxx Xxxxxx Inc. and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Company, L.L.C. are acting
as representatives. Anything herein or therein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the respective closings under this Agreement and the U.S. Underwriting Agreement
are hereby expressly made conditional on one another. The Underwriters hereunder
and the U.S. Underwriters are
2
simultaneously entering into an Agreement between U.S. and International
Underwriting Syndicates (the "Agreement between Syndicates") which provides,
among other things, for the transfer of shares of Stock between the two
syndicates and for consultation by the Lead Manager hereunder with Xxxxxxx,
Sachs & Co. prior to exercising the rights of the Underwriters under Section 7
hereof. Two forms of prospectus are to be used in connection with the offering
and sale of shares of Stock contemplated by the foregoing, one relating to the
Shares hereunder and the other relating to the U.S. Shares. The latter form of
prospectus will be identical to the former except for certain substitute pages
as included in the registration statement and amendments thereto as mentioned
below. Except as used in Sections 2, 3, 4, 9 and 11 herein, and except as
context may otherwise require, references hereinafter to the Shares shall
include all of the shares of Stock which may be sold pursuant to either this
Agreement or the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, and references herein to any
prospectus whether in preliminary or final form, and whether as amended or
supplemented, shall include both the U.S. and the international versions
thereof.
In addition, this Agreement incorporates by reference certain provisions
from the U.S. Underwriting Agreement (including the related definitions of
terms, which are also used elsewhere herein) and, for purposes of applying the
same, references (whether in these precise words or their equivalent) in the
incorporated provisions to the "Underwriters" shall be to the Underwriters
hereunder, to the "Shares" shall be to the Shares hereunder as just defined, to
"this Agreement" (meaning therein the U.S. Underwriting Agreement) shall be to
this Agreement (except where this Agreement is already referred to or as the
context may otherwise require) and to the representatives of the Underwriters or
to Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. shall be to the addressees of this Agreement and to
Xxxxxxx Sachs International ("GSI"), and, in general, all such provisions and
defined terms shall be applied mutatis mutandis as if the incorporated
provisions were set forth in full herein having regard to their context in this
Agreement as opposed to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement.
1. The Company and each of the several Selling Shareholders hereby make to
the Underwriters the same respective representations, warranties and agreements
as are set forth in Section 1 of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, which Section
is incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, (a) each Selling
Shareholder agrees that the purchase price per share at which the Underwriters
will purchase Shares from such Selling Shareholder (as set forth in clause (b)
below) shall be the same as the purchase price per share at which the Company
sells shares to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company hereunder,
(b) the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders agree, severally and not
jointly, to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters
agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company and each of the
Selling Shareholders, at a purchase price per share of $............, the
number of Firm Shares (to be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional
shares) determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be
sold by the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders as set forth opposite
their respective names in Schedule II hereto by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such
Underwriter as set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I
hereto and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to
be purchased by all the Underwriters from
-2-
3
the Company and all the Selling Shareholders hereunder and (c) in the event and
to the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to purchase
Optional Shares as provided below, each of the Selling Shareholders identified
with an asterisk in Schedule II hereto, agrees, severally and not jointly, to
sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally
and not jointly, to purchase from each of the Selling Shareholders, at the
purchase price per share set forth in clause (b) of this Section 2, that portion
of the number of Optional Shares as to which such election shall have been
exercised (to be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional shares)
determined by multiplying such number of Optional Shares by a fraction the
numerator of which is the maximum number of Optional Shares which such
Underwriter is entitled to purchase as set forth opposite the name of such
Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and the denominator of which is the maximum
number of Optional Shares that all of the Underwriters are entitled to purchase
hereunder.
The Selling Shareholders identified with an asterisk in Schedule II hereto,
hereby grant, severally and not jointly, to the Underwriters the right to
purchase at their election up to 120,000 Optional Shares, at the purchase price
per share set forth in the paragraph above, for the sole purpose of covering
overallotments in the sale of the Firm Shares. Any such election to purchase
Optional Shares shall be made in proportion to the maximum number of Optional
Shares to be sold by each Selling Shareholder as set forth in Schedule II
hereto. Any such election to purchase Optional Shares may be exercised only by
written notice from you to the Attorneys-in-Fact, given within a period of 30
calendar days after the date of this Agreement and setting forth the aggregate
number of Optional Shares to be purchased and the date on which such Optional
Shares are to be delivered, as determined by you but in no event earlier than
the First Time of Delivery (as defined in Section 4 hereof) or, unless you and
the Attorneys-in-Fact otherwise agree in writing, earlier than two or later than
ten business days after the date of such notice.
3. Upon the authorization by GSI of the release of the Firm Shares, the
several Underwriters propose to offer the Firm Shares for sale upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and in the forms of Agreement among
Underwriters (International Version) and Selling Agreements, which have been
previously submitted to the Company and the Selling Shareholders by you. Each
Underwriter hereby makes to and with the Company and the Selling Shareholders
the representations and agreements of such Underwriter as a member of the
selling group contained in Sections 3(d) and 3(e) of the form of Selling
Agreements.
4. (a) The Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter hereunder, in
definitive form, and in such authorized denominations and registered in such
names as Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. may request upon at least two business days' prior
notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall be delivered by or on
behalf of the Company and the Selling Shareholders to Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., for
the account of such Underwriter, against payment by or on behalf of such
Underwriter of the purchase price therefor in United States dollars by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by
the Custodian and the Company. The Company and the Selling Shareholders will
cause the certificates representing the Shares to be made available for checking
and packaging at least one full business day prior to the Time of Delivery (as
defined below) with respect thereto at the office of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., 00
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (the "Designated Office"). The time and
date of such delivery and payment shall be, with respect to the Firm
-3-
4
Shares, 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on ________, 1997 on such other time and
date as Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. and the Company and the Selling Shareholders may
agree upon in writing, and, with respect to the Optional Shares, 9:30 a.m., New
York time, on the date specified by Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. in the written notice
given by Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. of the Underwriters' election to purchase such
Optional Shares, or such other time and date as Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. and the
Company and the Selling Shareholders may agree upon in writing. Such time and
date for delivery of the Firm Shares is herein called the "First Time of
Delivery", such time and date for delivery of the Firm Optional Shares, if not
the First Time of Delivery, is herein called the "Second Time of Delivery", and
each such time and date for delivery is herein called a "Time of Delivery".
(b) The documents to be delivered at each Time of Delivery by or on
behalf of the parties hereto pursuant to Section 7 of the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement, including the cross-receipt for the Shares and any additional
documents requested by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7(k) of the U.S.
Underwriting Agreement will be delivered at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx,
000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (the "Closing Location"), and the
Shares will be delivered at the Designated Office, all at each Time of Delivery.
A meeting will be held at the Closing Location at ..............p.m., New York
City time, on the New York Business Day next preceding each Time of Delivery, at
which meeting the final drafts of the documents to be delivered pursuant to the
preceding sentence will be available for review by the parties hereto. For the
purposes of this Section 4, "New York Business Day" shall mean each Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking
institutions in New York are generally authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.
5. The Company hereby makes with the Underwriters the same agreements as
are set forth in Section 5 of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, which Section is
incorporated herein by this reference.
6. The Company, each of the Selling Shareholders, and the Underwriters
hereby agree with respect to certain expenses on the same terms as are set forth
in Section 6 of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, which Section is incorporated
herein by this reference.
7. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement between Syndicates, the
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be subject, in their discretion,
at each Time of Delivery to the condition that all representations and
warranties and other statements of the Company, and the Selling Shareholders
herein are, at and as of each Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition
that the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall have performed all of their
respective obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and additional
conditions identical to those set forth in Section 7 of the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement, which Section is incorporated herein by this reference.
8. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise
-4-
5
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will periodically reimburse each Underwriter for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter
through GSI or by any Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein; and
provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Underwriter under
the indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) with respect to any Preliminary
Prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such
Underwriter results from the fact that such Underwriter sold Shares to a person
as to whom it shall be established that there was not sent or given, at or prior
to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus (excluding
documents incorporated by reference) or of the Prospectus as then amended or
supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by reference) in any case where
such delivery is required by the Act if the Company has previously furnished
copies thereof in sufficient quantity to such Underwriter and the loss, claim,
damage or liability of such Underwriter results from an untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus which was
identified in writing prior to the date hereof to such Underwriter and corrected
in the Prospectus (excluding documents incorporated by reference) or in the
Prospectus as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by
reference).
(b) Each of the Selling Shareholders will indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment
or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein,
or (ii) the failure of such Selling Shareholder at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Shareholder to
send or deliver a copy of an amended Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus (or
the Prospectus as amended or supplemented) to the person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities against any Underwriter, which person
purchased the Shares which are the subject thereof, and the untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made
in such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the amended Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended and supplemented);
and each Selling Shareholder will periodically reimburse each Underwriter for
-5-
6
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the amount of such indemnity
shall be limited to the total net proceeds received by each such Selling
Shareholder from the offering of Shares purchased under this Agreement (before
deducting expenses).
(c) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each
Selling Shareholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
the Company or such Selling Shareholder may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through GSI expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the
Company and each Selling Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or such Selling Shareholder in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b)
or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (which 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. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent
of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or
claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party
to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement
-6-
7
as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf
of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b)
or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the
allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by
applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required
under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares purchased under this
Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling
Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriters with respect to the Shares 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, 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
Company or the Selling Shareholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the
other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each
of the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above
in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include 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
subsection (e), (i) no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute any
amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by such Selling
Shareholder and distributed to the public were offered to the public (before
deducting expenses) exceeds the amount of any damages that such Selling
Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) no
Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed
to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by
-7-
8
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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters'
obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to
their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The remedies provided
for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or
remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in
equity.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholders under this
Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the
respective Selling Shareholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the
same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under
this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective
Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and
conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person
who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to
become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the
Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Act.
9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the
Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may
in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase
such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such
default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares,
then the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to a further
period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other
parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event
that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company and the
Selling Shareholders that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares,
or the Company and the Selling Shareholders notify you that they have so
arranged for the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company and the Selling
Shareholders shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period
of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be
made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other
documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any
amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion
may thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement
shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if
such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such
Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and
the Selling Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate
number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of
the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery,
then the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall have the right to require
each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such
Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in
addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata
share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase
hereunder) of the Shares of such
-8-
9
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been
made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and
the Selling Shareholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate
number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the
aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or
if the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall not exercise the right
described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to
purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement
(or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the
Underwriters to purchase and of the Selling Shareholders to sell the Optional
Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Shareholders, except
for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Shareholders and the
Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution
agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the several
Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof)
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any
Underwriter, or the Company or any of the Selling Shareholders, or any officer
or director or controlling person of the Company or any controlling person of
any Selling Shareholders, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the
Shares.
11. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the
Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or
given by you jointly or by GSI on your behalf; and in all dealings with any
Selling Shareholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and
rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling
Shareholder made or given by any or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such
Selling Shareholder.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the Underwriters in care of GSI, Peterborough Court,
000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX, Xxxxxxx, Attention: Equity Capital Markets,
Telex No. 94012165, facsimile transmission No. (071) 774-1550; if to any Selling
Shareholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission
to counsel for such Selling Shareholder at its address set forth in Schedule II
hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the
Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice
to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by
mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set
forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such
Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling
Shareholders by
-9-
10
GSI upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall
take effect upon receipt thereof.
12. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit
of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and, to the
extent provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the
Company and each person who controls the Company, any Selling Shareholder or any
Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by
virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter
shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
13. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
14. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
15. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and
return to us one for the Company and one for each of the Lead Managers or Lead
Managing Underwriters plus one for each counsel and the Custodian, if any,
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of
the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a
binding agreement among each of the Underwriters, the Company and each of the
Selling Shareholders. It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on
behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set forth in a
form of Agreement among Underwriters (International Version), the form of which
shall be furnished to the Company and the Selling Shareholders for examination
upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority of the
signers thereof.
-10-
11
Any person executing and delivering this Agreement as Attorney-in-Fact for a
Selling Shareholder represents by so doing that he has been duly appointed as
Attorney-in-Fact by such Selling Shareholder pursuant to a validly existing and
binding Power of Attorney which authorizes such Attorney-in-Fact to take such
action.
Very truly yours,
