Ladies and Gentlemen:

whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, the principal amount of its
securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the “Securities”), to be issued under the indenture
(the “Base Indenture”), dated as of October 17, 2003, between the Company and The Bank of New York
Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as
supplemented by a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to be dated November 14,
2011 between the Company and the Trustee. In this Agreement, the Base Indenture, as supplemented
by the Supplemental Indenture, is referred to as the “Indenture.” To the extent there are no
additional Underwriters listed on Schedule I other than you, the term Representatives as used
herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean
either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration
Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed
to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form
S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration
Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final
Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or
“supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any
document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue
date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may
be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in
Section 20 hereof.
1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees
with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.
(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has
prepared and filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined
in Rule 405 (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto) on Form S-3,
including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale
of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed
prior to the Execution Time, became effective upon filing. The Company may have filed with
the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule
424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of
which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the Commission a
final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As
filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Act
and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in
writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you
prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall
contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained
in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior
to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the
Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).
(b) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final
Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined
herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust
Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the
Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; on the Effective Date and
on the Closing Date, the Indenture did or will comply in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and on the date
of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus
(together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit 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 the Company makes no representations or warranties as to (i) that part
of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and
Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) the
information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus
(or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any
supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished
by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section
8 hereof.

(c) (i) The Disclosure Package and (ii) each electronic road show, when taken together
as a whole with the Disclosure Package, does not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,

through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed
that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in Section 8 hereof.
(d) (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most
recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act
(whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant
to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the
Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of
Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption in Rule
163, and (iv) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for
purposes of this clause (iv)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known
seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Company agrees to pay the fees required by the
Commission relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without
regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).
(e) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the
Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule

Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as
3
the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the
Exchange Act, as applicable, 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

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 Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder 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,

omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by an Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(“Material Adverse Effect”); all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of the
Material Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and

registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus or file under the Exchange Act any
document incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus in order to comply with the Act or the
Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of
the Final Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event,
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first and second sentences of paragraph
(a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct

(g) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale
under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that
in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits,
other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where
it is not now so subject.
(h) The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of
the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that,
unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company,
it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as
defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the
Company under Rule 433, other than a free writing prospectus containing the information contained
in the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof; provided that the prior
written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free
Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule III hereto and any electronic road show. Any such free
writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as
a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat,
as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and
(y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433
applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the
Commission, legending and record keeping.
(i) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and RBS Securities Inc. offer, sell,
contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed

effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or
12
otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate
of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company), directly
or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement
with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate
or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any
debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company (other than the Securities) or publicly
announce an intention to effect any such transaction, until the Business Day set forth on Schedule
I hereto.
(j) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would
constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the
Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(k) The Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i)
the preparation, printing or reproduction and filing with the Commission of the Registration
Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), each Preliminary Prospectus, the
Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement to any
of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges
and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, each
Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all
amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in
connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing,
authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or
transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the
printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any agreement among the Underwriters,
any blue sky memorandum, closing documents (and any compilations thereof) and all other agreements
or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering, purchase, sale
and delivery of the Securities; (v) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer
and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the
fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification);
(vi) any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(including filing fees and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such
filings); (vii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company
representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities,
including road show expenses; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the
fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; (ix) any fees
charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities; (x) the fees and expenses of the
Trustee and any agent of the Trustee and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in
connection with the Indenture and the Securities; and (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to
the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder. It is understood, however, that,
except as provided in this Section, and Sections 7 and 8 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of
their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any

13
6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the
Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Closing
Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the
provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the
following additional conditions:
(a) The Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, have been filed in the manner and
within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the final term sheet contemplated by Section
5(b) hereof, and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time
periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433;
and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any
notice objecting to its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall
have been instituted or threatened.
(b) The Company shall have requested and caused Xxxxx Xxxxx L.L.P., counsel for the
Company, to have furnished to the Representatives their opinion, dated the Closing Date and
addressed to the Underwriters, to the effect that:
(i) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; to the
knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use has been issued, no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened;
(ii) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power and
authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus; and the Company has been duly qualified
as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing
under the laws of the State of Texas (such counsel being entitled to rely in respect
of the opinion in this clause upon certificates of officers of the Company and
public officials, provided that such counsel shall state that they believe that both
the Underwriters and they are justified in relying upon such certificates);
(iii) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and, assuming the
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, constitutes a legal, valid
and binding instrument enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;
14
(iv) The Securities have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued
and delivered by the Company and constitute valid and legally binding obligations of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, subject, as to enforcement, to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to
general equity principles;
(v) The Securities and the Indenture conform to the descriptions thereof in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus in all material respects;
(vi) To such counsel’s knowledge and other than as disclosed in the
Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there are
no legal or governmental proceedings pending by or before any court or
governmental agency, authority or body to which the Company or any Material
Subsidiary is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of the Material
Subsidiaries is subject that is required to be described in each of the Registration
Statement or the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus that is not so
described;
(vii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company;
(viii) Although the discussion set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the
Final Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Tax Considerations for
Non-U.S. Holders,” does not purport to discuss all possible United States federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
Securities, in such counsel’s opinion, such discussion constitutes in all material
respects, a fair and accurate summary of the United States federal tax consequences
of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Securities by the holders
addressed therein based upon current law and subject to the qualifications set forth
therein;
(ix) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of
the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and
(x) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or registration or
qualification or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is
required for the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the issue
and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, except (i) such as have been obtained under the Act
and the Trust Indenture Act and (ii) such as may be
15
required under state or foreign
takeover statutes and securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the purchase
and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated
herein and in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.
Such counsel shall also include, in a separate paragraph of its opinion, statements to
the following effect: such counsel has reviewed the Registration Statement, the Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus and has participated in conferences with officers and other
representatives of the Company, with representatives of KPMG LLP and with representatives of
and counsel to the Underwriters, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the
Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and related matters were discussed. The purpose of
such counsel’s professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set
forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, and
such counsel has not undertaken to verify independently any of the factual matters in such
documents. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of
the Registration Statement, the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature.
Accordingly, such counsel is not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for
the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, the Registration
Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (except to the extent stated in
paragraphs (v) and (viii) above). Subject to the foregoing and on the basis of the
information such counsel gained in the course of performing the services referred to above,
such counsel advises you that:
A. the Registration Statement, as of the date it first became effective under
the Act, the Preliminary Prospectus, as of 4:30 P.M., New York Time on November 8,
2011 (the time that the underwriters have informed such counsel that is before any
confirmations of sale were delivered) (the “Applicable Time”), and the Final
Prospectus, as of its date and on the Closing Date, appeared on their face to be
appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and
B. nothing came to such counsel’s attention that caused it to believe that (1)
the Registration Statement, as of the Execution Time, 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, (2) the Disclosure
Package, as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
or (3) the Final Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, included or
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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;
16
it being understood that in each case such counsel has not been asked to, and does not,
express any belief with respect to (a) the financial statements or other financial or
accounting information contained or included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted
therefrom, (b) representations and warranties and other statements of fact contained in the
exhibits to the Registration Statement or documents incorporated by reference therein or (c)
that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the
application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware or the Federal laws
of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the
opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are
satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent
they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public
officials. References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (b) shall also include any
supplements thereto at the Closing Date.
(c) Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Assistant Secretary of the Company, shall have furnished to the
Representatives a written opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters,
to the effect that:
(i) Each Material Subsidiary has been duly formed and is validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and each of
the Company and each Material Subsidiary has been duly qualified to do business and
is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases
properties, or conducts any business, so as to require such qualification, other
than where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not have a
Material Adverse Effect; and all of the issued ownership interests of each Material
Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued in accordance with the
organizational documents of such Material Subsidiary, are fully paid and
non-assessable, if applicable, and (except for directors’ qualifying shares, if
applicable) the ownership interests of each Material Subsidiary owned by the Company
directly or indirectly are owned, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
equities or claims, except as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Prospectus (such counsel being entitled to rely in respect of the opinion in this
clause upon opinions of local counsel and in respect of matters of fact upon
certificates of officers of the Company and public officials, provided that such
counsel shall state that they believe that both you and they are justified in
relying upon such opinions and certificates);
(ii) The issue and sale of the Securities and the compliance by the Company
with all of the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture and this Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated (a) will not
conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions
of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, contract,
17
lease, mortgage, deed of
trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition,
covenant or instrument to which the Company or any Material Subsidiary is a party or
by which the Company or any Material Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the
properties of the Company or any Material Subsidiary is subject, which conflict,
breach violation or default would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect, (b) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, each as amended to
date, and (c) will not result in any violation of any statute, any rule, regulation
or order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body,
arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, which violation of any such statute,
order or regulation would individually, or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect;
(iii) Neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries is in violation
of its organizational or governing documents or, except as set forth or incorporated
by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, is in default in
the performance or observance of any material obligation, covenant or condition
contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or
any of its properties may be bound;
(iv) Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, to
such counsel’s knowledge, no legal or governmental proceedings are pending,
threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or pending or threatened by
others against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which, if determined adversely
to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(v) The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement
thereto made by the Company prior to the Execution Time (other than the financial
statements and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case
may be, appear on their face to have complied as to form in all material respects
with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder, to the extent applicable; and he has
no reason to believe that any of such documents, when such documents became
effective or were so filed, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
when such documents were so filed, not misleading.
18
Such counsel may state that the opinions expressed are limited in all respects to the
federal laws of the United States, the laws of the State of Texas and the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, all as in effect on the date thereof. Further,
such counsel may state that such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to the Act, or
the Exchange Act (except to the extent stated in clause (v) above), or as to any consent,
approval, authorization, statute, order, rule or regulation of any governmental agency or
regulatory body as may be required under any state securities or “blue-sky” laws.
(d) The Representatives shall have received from Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP,
counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed
to the Underwriters, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Indenture,
the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus (together with any
supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require,
and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the
purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(e) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the
Company, signed by the President or any Vice President and the principal financial or
accounting officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of
such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package,
the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, as well as
each electronic road show used in connection with the offering of the Securities, and
this Agreement and that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are
true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on
the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied
all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied on or prior to the
Closing Date;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto),
there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of
business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the
Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
19
(f) The Company shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP to have furnished to the
Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters addressed to the
Underwriters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect set
forth in Annex B hereto.
(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information
is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final
Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i)
any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of
this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or
affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in
the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the
effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole
judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by
the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and
the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
(h) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the
rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical
rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or
any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a
possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible
change.
(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives
such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably
request.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as
provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere
in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives
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 the Representatives. Notice of
such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed
in writing.
The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx,
Xxx Xxxx 00000, on the Closing Date.
7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided
for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the
20
Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination
pursuant to Section 10 hereof 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 other than by reason of
a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. on demand for all expenses (including fees and disbursements of
counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase
and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and
each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any
of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of
the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any
Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities,
the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final
term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any such 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 by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each
person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on
behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents
referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements
set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities, (ii)
the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities and (iii)
the seventh and eighth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” related to stabilization and
syndicate covering transactions in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute
the only information furnished in
21
writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, 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 commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not
relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party
of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party
from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party
in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not
thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the
indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that
such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying
party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and
the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel
if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would
present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of
the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, 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 (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party
from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding 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
an indemnified party.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company
and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating
or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the
Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
22
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other
from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any
Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering
of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or
commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and
provided further that the Underwriters’ obligations in this paragraph (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the
Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand
and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the
Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to
the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of
the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or
the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company
and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined
by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above. The amount paid or payable by any indemnified party as
a result of the Losses referred to in this paragraph (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of
an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the
Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms
and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase
and pay for any 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 bears to the aggregate principal amount of
Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;
23
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 Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, 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 nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the
Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the
Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing
Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives
shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any
nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute
discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment
for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s
securities shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum
prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been
declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (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 the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in
the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering
or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements,
representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its 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 the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8
hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7
and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on
receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and
controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or
obligation hereunder.
14. No fiduciary duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale
of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the
Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on
the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the
Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the

it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect,
or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or
the process leading thereto.

(whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to
