10. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. This Agreement shall become effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

The obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, if (1) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of Holdings and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (2) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the NASDAQ; (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in Holdings’ securities on the NASDAQ; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either U.S. federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (D) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (E) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E), in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectuses, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (3) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of: (A) any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by Holdings or any Subsidiary by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act.

If the Representatives elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10, Holdings, each Selling Stockholder and each other Underwriter shall be notified promptly in writing.

If the sale to the Underwriters of the Shares, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because Holdings or any Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, Holdings and the Selling Stockholders shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 7, 8 and 12 hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to Holdings or any Selling Stockholder under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 12 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

11. Increase in Underwriters’ Commitments. If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Firm Shares to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 9 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 10 hereof), then each of Representatives may in its discretion arrange for such Representative or another party or other parties to purchase such Firm Shares on the terms contained herein. If within twenty-four hours after such default by any Underwriter a Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Shares, then the Selling Stockholders, collectively, shall be entitled to a further period of twenty-four hours (which may be waived by the Selling Stockholders, collectively, within which to procure another party or other parties reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Firm Shares on such terms.

If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Firm Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by a Representative and the Selling Stockholders as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 11, the aggregate number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Firm Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriters (including the Underwriters, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Firm Shares they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Underwriters (less any Firm Shares for which other arrangements for purchase have been made as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 11), as hereinafter provided. Such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Underwriters in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Underwriter so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Shares shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Underwriters pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule A.

Without relieving any defaulting Underwriter from its obligations hereunder, each Selling Stockholder agrees with the non-defaulting Underwriters that it will not sell any Firm Shares hereunder unless all of the Firm Shares are purchased by the Underwriters (or by substituted Underwriters selected by you with the approval of the Selling Stockholders or selected by the Selling Stockholders with your approval).

If a new Underwriter or Underwriters are substituted by the Representative, the Underwriters or the Selling Stockholders for a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Selling Stockholders or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any

necessary changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and other documents may be effected.

The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Underwriter substituted under this Section 11 with like effect as if such substituted Underwriter had originally been named in Schedule A hereto.

If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Firm Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by a Representative and the Selling Stockholders as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 11, the aggregate number of Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Shares which all Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, and if the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Representatives and the Selling Stockholders shall not have made arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of Holdings or any Selling Stockholder to any Underwriter and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to Holdings or any Selling Stockholder. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

12. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) Holdings agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, each Selling Stockholder, its partners, directors, officers and members, any person who controls any Underwriter or Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act) of such Underwriter or Selling Stockholder, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter, Selling Stockholder or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by Holdings) or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with Underwriter Information (as defined below) or Selling Stockholder Information or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in connection with such Underwriter Information or Selling Stockholder Information, which material fact was not contained in such Underwriter Information or Selling Stockholder Information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this

Section 12 being deemed to include any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Covered Free Writing Prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of Holdings or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Covered Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except, with respect to such Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with Underwriter Information or Selling Shareholder Information or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such Underwriter Information or Selling Shareholder Information, which material fact was not contained in such Underwriter Information or Selling Shareholder Information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Holdings, each officer of Holdings who shall sign the Registration Statement, each Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers and members, and any person who controls Holdings or any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, any such Underwriter or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by Holdings), or 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 or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus, in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that (A) each Selling Stockholder shall be liable only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information and (B) the liability of each Selling Stockholder to provide indemnity pursuant to this Section 12(b), or contribution pursuant to Section 12(e) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts (but before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Ordinary Shares by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters pursuant hereto.

(c) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Holdings, its directors and officers, each Selling Stockholder, its directors and officers, and any person who controls Holdings or such Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, Holdings, such Selling Stockholder or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to Holdings expressly for use in, the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by Holdings), or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in, and in conformity with information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you to Holdings expressly for use in, a Prospectus or a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in connection with such information, which material fact was not contained in such information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against Holdings, any Selling Stockholder or an Underwriter (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (c), respectively, of this Section 12, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise unless and to the extent the indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such Proceeding and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantive rights and defenses as determined by a final non-appealable judicial determination. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party (or, in the case such indemnifying parties include a Selling Stockholder, also by any such Selling Stockholder) in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably

concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent (or, in the case such indemnifying parties include a Selling Stockholder, also by any such Selling Stockholder) but, if settled with its written consent (or, in the case such indemnifying parties include a Selling Stockholder, also by any such Selling Stockholder) such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (or, in the case such indemnifying parties include a Selling Stockholder, also by any such Selling Stockholder), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 12 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 12 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand from the offering of the Shares 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 indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Holdings or any Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by Holdings or such Selling Stockholder, as applicable, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of Holdings or any Selling Stockholder on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by Holdings, by the

relevant Selling Stockholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(f) Holdings, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (e) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12, 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 such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damage which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement 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 to contribute pursuant to this Section 12 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 12 and the covenants, warranties and representations of Holdings and the Selling Stockholders contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its partners, directors, officers or members or any person (including each partner, officer, director or member of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of Holdings, the Selling Stockholders, directors or officers or any person who controls Holdings or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or, in the case of the Selling Stockholders, the delivery of the Shares. Holdings, each Selling Stockholder and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of Holdings or a Selling Stockholder, against any of their officers or directors in connection with the sale of the Shares, or in connection with the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

(h) The provisions of this Section 12 shall not affect any agreement that Holdings and the Selling Stockholders have made or may make with respect to indemnification and contribution.

13. Information Furnished by the Underwriters. The statements set forth in the fifth, eleventh, twelfth paragraphs (insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession and reallowance or to over-allotment and stabilization activities that may be

undertaken by the Underwriters), the last sentence in the fourteenth paragraph, and the statements set forth in the seventeenth paragraph, in each case under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters (the “Underwriter Information”), as such Underwriter Information is referred to in Sections 3 and 12 hereof.

14. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by telegram or facsimile and delivered to the addresses set forth opposite such entity’s name in Schedule D attached hereto.

15. Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

16. Submission to Jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and Holdings and each Selling Stockholder consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. Holdings and each Selling Stockholder hereby consent to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Underwriter or any indemnified party. Each Underwriter and Holdings (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) and each Selling Stockholder each waive all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Holdings and each Selling Stockholder agree that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Holdings and each Selling Stockholder and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which Holdings or any Selling Stockholder is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment. Each party not located in the United States irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System with its address at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Claim.

17. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters, Holdings and each Selling Stockholder and to the extent provided in Section 12 hereof the controlling persons, partners, directors, officers, members and affiliates referred to in such Section, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives and executors and administrators. No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any of the Underwriters) shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

18. No Fiduciary Relationship. Holdings and each Selling Stockholder hereby acknowledge that the Underwriters are acting solely as underwriters in connection with the

purchase and sale of Holdings’ securities. Each of Holdings and each Selling Stockholder further acknowledges that the Underwriters are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Underwriters act or be responsible as a fiduciary to Holdings or any Selling Stockholder, their respective management, shareholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Underwriters may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of Holdings’ securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriters hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to Holdings and any Selling Stockholder, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and Holdings and each Selling Stockholder hereby confirm their understanding and agreement to that effect. Holdings, each Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Underwriters to Holdings or any Selling Stockholder regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for Holdings’ securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to Holdings or any Selling Stockholder. Holdings, each Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that the Underwriters are acting as principal and not the agent or fiduciary of Holdings or any Selling Stockholder and no Underwriter has assumed, and none of them will assume, any advisory responsibility in favor of Holdings or any Selling Stockholder with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is currently advising Holdings or any Selling Stockholder on other matters). Holdings and each Selling Stockholder hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that Holdings or any Selling Stockholder may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary, advisory or similar duty to Holdings or any Selling Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties.

20. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters, Holdings, each Selling Stockholder and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of Holdings,’ any Selling Stockholder’s and any of the Underwriters’ respective businesses and/or assets.

21. Waiver of Immunities. To the extent that Holdings, the Selling Stockholders or any of their properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to them, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, Holdings and each Selling Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive and agree not to plead or claim any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

22. Foreign Taxes. All payments by Holdings or a Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present and future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereinafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction in which Holdings or such Selling Stockholder is organized, resident, doing business or has an office from which payment is made or deemed to be made, excluding any such tax imposed by reason of any Underwriter having some connection with the taxing jurisdiction other than its participation as an Underwriter hereunder (including, if applicable, any income or franchise tax on the overall net income of an Underwriter imposed by the United States or by the State of New York or any political subdivision of the United States or of the State of New York) (all such non-excluded taxes, “Foreign Taxes”). If Holdings or any Selling Stockholder is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from paying, causing to be paid or remitting that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by Foreign Taxes withheld or deducted, then amounts payable under this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, be increased to such amount as is necessary to yield and remit to such Underwriters an amount which, after deduction of all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such increased payments) equals the amount that would have been payable if no Foreign Taxes applied.

23. Judgment Currency. Holdings and each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify the Underwriters against any loss incurred by the Underwriters as a result of any judgment or order in favor of the Underwriters being given or made against Holdings or any Selling Stockholder for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase United States dollars as promptly as practicable upon such party’s receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of Holdings and each Selling Stockholder, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder, the Underwriters agree to pay to Holdings and each Selling Stockholder an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriters hereunder. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

24. Miscellaneous. (a) UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, is not a bank and is separate from any affiliated bank, including any U.S. branch or agency of UBS AG. Because UBS is a separately incorporated entity, it is solely responsible for its own contractual obligations and commitments, including obligations with respect to sales and purchases of securities. Securities sold, offered or recommended by UBS are not deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, are not guaranteed by a branch or agency, and are not otherwise an obligation or responsibility of a branch or agency.

(b) In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required (and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges that the Underwriters are required) to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including Holdings and each Selling Stockholder, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
