amount of its debt securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the "Securities")

or firms.
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:
(a) A registration statement in respect of the Securities (the file
number of which is set forth on Schedule I hereto) has been prepared by the
Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and the rules and regulations (the "Rules and
Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
thereunder and has been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act in
the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to Citigroup, and such
registration statement in such form has been declared effective by the
Commission and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration
statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated
or threatened by the Commission (any preliminary prospectus included in such
registration statement being hereinafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus"); if
any post-effective amendment to such registration statement has been filed with
the Commission prior to the date of this Agreement, the most recent such
amendment has been declared effective by the Commission. As used in this
Agreement, "Effective Time" means the date and the time as of which such
registration statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if
any, was declared effective by the Commission; "Effective Date" means the date
of the Effective Time; "Registration Statement" means such registration
statement, as amended at the Effective Time, including all material incorporated
by reference therein; "Prospectus" means the form of prospectus relating to the
Securities, as first filed pursuant to Rule 424 ("Rule 424") under the
Securities Act, as such form of prospectus may be supplemented to reflect the
terms of the Securities and the terms of offering thereof; any reference herein
to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and
include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to the
applicable form under the Securities Act, as of the date of such Preliminary
Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any amendment or
supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to
refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such Preliminary
Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and incorporated therein by reference;
and any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed
to include any annual report of the Company filed with the Commission pursuant
to the Exchange Act after the Effective Date that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement.
(b) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform, and any
amendments or supplements thereto will conform, in all material respects to the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, and do not and will not, as of the applicable effective
date as to the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and as of the
applicable filing date as to the Prospectus and any supplement thereto, contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall apply only to
amendments or supplements filed or made during the prospectus delivery period;
and provided further, however, that this representation and warranty shall not
apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter through
Citigroup expressly for use in the Prospectus.

they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be,
conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and
the Rules and Regulations or the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; any
further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or in
any amendments or supplements thereto, when such documents become effective or
are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material
respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations
or the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder,
as applicable, and the Rules and Regulations and will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall apply only to
documents so filed and incorporated by reference during the period that a
prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered in connection
with sales of such Securities (such period being hereinafter sometimes referred
to as the "prospectus delivery period").

indicated, all in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved except as
otherwise stated therein or in the notes thereto.

subsidiaries or any material adverse change, or any development involving a
prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs,
management, financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in
the Prospectus.
(g) The Indenture has been duly authorized, and when duly executed and
delivered by the proper officers of the Company (if not so executed and
delivered prior to the date of this Agreement), will (assuming due execution and
delivery by the Trustee) constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the
effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law) or an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and the
Securities have been duly authorized, and, when duly executed, authenticated,
issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture, will be duly and validly
issued and outstanding, and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the

its corporate charter or by-laws or in default under any agreement, indenture or

Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the Indenture and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with, result in
the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any

material agreement, indenture or instrument, or result in a violation of the
corporate charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any
order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective
properties, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations of any such
liens, charges or encumbrances as would not individually or in the aggregate
have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of
operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Except as required by the Securities Act and by applicable state securities laws
in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the
Underwriters, no consent, authorization or order of, or filing or registration
with, any court or governmental agency is required for the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement or the Indenture.

Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K which is incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus), which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158
thereunder);
(f) The Company will furnish such information, execute such instruments
and take such actions as may be required to qualify the Securities for offering
and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as Citigroup may designate and
will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the

therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and (z) since the effective date of the Registration Statement there
has not occurred any event required to be set forth in an amended or
supplemented prospectus which has not been so set forth.
(f) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have
sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any loss or interference with its
business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered
by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order
or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus or (ii)
since such date there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or
long-term debt of the Company
11
or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a
prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, condition,
financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, whether or not arising from transactions in the
ordinary course of business, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the
Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or
(ii), is, in the judgment of Citigroup, so material and adverse as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
(g) Citigroup shall have received on the Closing Date a letter, dated
the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to Citigroup, from Ernst &
Young LLP, confirming that they are independent public accountants within the
meaning of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable
requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X of the Commission, and stating, as of the Closing Date (or, with
respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates
as of which specified information is given in the Prospectus, as of a date not
more than five days prior to Closing Date), the conclusions and findings of such
firm with respect to the financial information and other matters as provided in
SAS No. 72. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (g) include any
supplement thereto at the Closing Date.
(h) Citigroup shall have received on the Closing Date a letter, dated
the Closing Date, from KPMG LLP in respect of the consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows
of Imperial Bancorp and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2000
addressed to the Underwriters in form and substance satisfactory to Citigroup.
(i) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there
shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of
any intended or potential downgrading or of a possible change that does not
indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the
Company's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating
organization," as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) of the
Rules and Regulations.
(j) Citigroup shall have received from the Company such further
information, certificates and documents as they may reasonably request.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement,
or if any of the opinions, letters and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere
in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to Citigroup and counsel for the Underwriters, this
Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at,
or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by Citigroup. Notice of such
cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or
facsimile confirmed in writing.

7. EXPENSES.
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are
consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay all costs and
expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company
hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all
costs, taxes and expenses incident to the issuance, sale and delivery of the
Securities to the Underwriters, (ii) all fees and expenses of the Company's
counsel and accountants, (iii) all costs and expenses incident to the preparing,
printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including all exhibits
thereto), the Prospectus and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and
the Indenture, and the rating of the Securities by one or more rating agencies,
(iv) all costs and expenses (including fees of Underwriters' counsel and their
disbursements) incurred in connection with blue sky qualifications and the
filing requirements, if any, of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. in connection with its review of corporate financings, (v) the fee for
listing the Securities on any exchange, (vi) the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and (vii) all costs and expenses of the printing and distribution of all
documents in connection with such offering. Except as provided in this Section
7, the Company will have no responsibility to the Underwriters for the
Underwriters' own costs and expenses, including the fees of Underwriters'
Counsel and any advertising expenses in connection with any offer the
Underwriters may make.
(b) If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not
consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set
forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability
or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply
with any provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by Citigroup,
reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in
connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its
directors, its officers and its employees and each person, if any, who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, from
and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any
action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Securities), to
which that Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person may
become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar
as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based
upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, as originally filed or in any amendment
thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus
supplement, the Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to
act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the
Securities or the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of
or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or
based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided that the
Company shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that it is
determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or
failures to act undertaken or
13
omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its gross negligence or willful
misconduct), and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such director,
officer, employee and controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, director, officer,
employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as
such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company through Citigroup by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for
inclusion therein and (ii) such indemnity with respect to any Preliminary
Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person
controlling such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such loss,
claim, damage or liability purchased the Securities which are the subject
thereof if such person did not receive a copy of the Prospectus at or prior to
the confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person in any case where
such delivery is required by the Securities Act and the untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus was
corrected in the Prospectus, unless such failure to deliver the Prospectus was a
result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 5(d) hereof. For purposes of
the proviso in the 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 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.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company
may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its officers and employees, each of its directors and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the
Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject,
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in
the Registration Statement, as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or
in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the
Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (B) in any Blue
Sky Application or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company through Citigroup by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for
inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company and any such director,
officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The
foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any
Underwriter may otherwise have.
14
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8
of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially
prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such claim or
action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the
indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in
writing, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the
reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party
to employ separate counsel or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume
the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party,
it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified
parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by Citigroup, if the
indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of any Underwriter or any of
their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, or by
the Company, if the indemnified parties under this Section consist of the
Company or any of the Company's directors, officers, employees or controlling
persons. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Sections 8(a) and 8(b), shall use its best efforts to cooperate
with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No
indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle
or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld),
15
but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment of the
plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss of liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any
reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability,
or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, 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, (a) 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 (b) 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, on the one hand, and the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the
Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total
gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities 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 8(d) 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 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for
purposes of this Section 8(d), 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 8(d), 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 Section 8(d) are
several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not
joint.
16
(e) The Underwriters severally confirm that the statements with respect
to the public offering of the Securities set forth on the cover page of, and
under the caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus are correct and constitute
the only information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the
Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Prospectus.
9. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER.
If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for all
of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters
hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the
performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining
Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the
respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth
opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bear to the aggregate principal
amount of Securities set opposite the names of the remaining Underwriters) the
Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal
amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but
shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if
such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriters or
the Company. In the event the remaining Underwriters elect to purchase the
Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase
as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date may be postponed for such
period, not exceeding seven days, as Citigroup shall determine in order that the
required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any
other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing herein contained shall
relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and
any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute
discretion of Citigroup, by notice given to the Company at or prior to delivery
of and payment for all the Securities, if, prior to such time (i) trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter
market, or trading in any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the
over-the-counter market, shall have been suspended or materially limited or
minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or such market
by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other regulatory body or
governmental authority having jurisdiction, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have
been declared by Federal or state authorities, (iii) there shall have occurred
any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a
national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis or (iv) there shall have
occurred a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial
conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets
in the United States shall be such), the effect of which, in any such case
described in clauses (iii) or (iv), is to make it, in the sole judgment of
Citigroup, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or
delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus.
17
11. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE DELIVERY.
The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and
other statements of the Company or its officers (as such officers) and of the
Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter or the Company or any of its officers or directors or any
controlling person within the meaning of the Securities Act, and will survive
delivery of the payment for the Securities.
12. NOTICES.
All communications hereunder will be in writing, and, if sent to
Citigroup will be mailed, delivered, telecopied and confirmed to them, at the

parties hereto and their successors and, to the extent and only to the extent
stated in Section 8 hereof, the officers, directors, employees and controlling
persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and except as provided in Section 8
hereof, no person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors
will have any right or obligation hereunder.
