Schedule II hereto by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to

proceeds received after underwriting commissions and discounts from the sale of the Shares by such
Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or the
Selling Stockholders 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 the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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 the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company
and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and
the Selling Stockholder 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 the 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
25
otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) and (c) above, as applicable. 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 reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who 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 as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or
on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any such action or claim
effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed
26
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling
Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters,
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 and the Selling Stockholders 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
Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
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 Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price (less underwriting commissions and discounts) at which the Shares
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received after
the underwriting commission and discounts from the sale of the Shares by such Selling Stockholder
pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged 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.
(f) The obligations of both the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 10
shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise
have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the
Underwriters within the meaning of the Act [and each broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter];
and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability
which the Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon
27
the same terms and conditions, to
each officer, director or trustee of the Company or any Selling Stockholder (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 Stockholder
within the meaning of the Act.
11. (a) (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 Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period
of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties reasonably 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 Stockholders that you have so arranged for the
purchase of such Shares, or the Company or the Selling Stockholders notify you that it or they have
so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, you, the Company or the Selling Stockholders 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 or supplements 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, the Company and the Selling Stockholders 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
or the Selling Stockholders 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 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/or the Company
28
and the Selling Stockholders 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 or the Selling Stockholders 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 Stockholders to sell the Optional Shares) shall
thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company
or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the
Underwriters as provided in Section 8 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in
Section 10 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
default.
12. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company, the Selling Stockholders 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 Stockholders or any officer, director, controlling person or
trustees of the Company or any of the Selling Stockholders, and shall survive delivery of and
payment for the Shares.
13. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 11(c) hereof, the Company and
the Selling Stockholders shall not be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in
Sections 8 and 10 hereof; but, if for any other reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on
behalf of the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters
through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for
the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but none of the Company nor any of the Selling Stockholders shall
then be under any further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 8 and 10
hereof.
14. 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 Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. on behalf of
you as the representatives.
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
29
facsimile transmission to you as the
representatives at care of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., Xxx Xxx Xxxx Xxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, fax number [ ], Attention: Registration Department; 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; and if to the Selling
Stockholders, the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that any notice to an
Underwriter pursuant to Section 10(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 by you upon
request; provided, however, that notices under subsection 6(e) shall be in writing, and if to the
Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the
representatives at Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention:
Control Room, fax number [ ]. Any such statements, requests, notices or
agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
15. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the
Underwriters, the Company, the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 10 and
12 hereof, the officers, directors, trustees and each person who controls the Company, any Selling
Stockholder 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.
16. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day”
shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
17. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial
transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in
connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting
solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Stockholders,
(iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or
the Selling Stockholders with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading
thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company
or the Selling Stockholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling
Stockholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and
the Selling Stockholders have consulted their own respective legal and financial
30
advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not
claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a
fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such
transaction or the process leading thereto.
18. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or
oral) between the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters, or any of them, with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
19. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
20. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and each of the Underwriters hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial
by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
21. 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.
22. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Stockholders
are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax
structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and
other tax analyses) relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any
limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure
shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to
enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to
any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
31
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us four
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 between each of the
Underwriters, the Selling Stockholders and the Company.
Very truly yours, Las Vegas Sands Corp. |
