Dear Sirs and Mesdames:
URS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), proposes to issue
and sell to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated (the "PLACEMENT AGENT")
$200,000,000 principal amount of its 12 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009
(the "SECURITIES") to be issued pursuant to the provisions of an Indenture dated
as of June 23, 1999 (the "INDENTURE") among the Company, the subsidiaries of the
Company listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the "GUARANTORS"), as
guarantors, and Firstar Bank of Minnesota, N.A., as Trustee (the "TRUSTEE").
The obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture will be
jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by the
Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (the "GUARANTEES").
The Securities will be offered without being registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), to qualified
institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption from registration provided
by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and in offshore transactions in reliance
on Regulation S under the Securities Act ("REGULATION S").
The Placement Agent and its direct and indirect transferees will be
entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated the date hereof between the
Company, the Guarantors and the Placement Agent (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS
AGREEMENT").
In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared a
preliminary offering memorandum (the "PRELIMINARY MEMORANDUM") and will prepare
a final offering memorandum (the "FINAL MEMORANDUM" and, with the Preliminary
Memorandum, each a "MEMORANDUM") including or incorporating by reference a
description of the terms of the Securities, the terms of the offering and a
description of the Company. As used herein, the term "Memorandum" shall mean,
as of any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most recent offering
memorandum (whether the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum,
including any amendment or supplement to either such document) and including any
exhibits or schedules thereto and shall include in each case the documents
incorporated by reference therein. The terms "SUPPLEMENT", "AMENDMENT" and
"AMEND" as used herein with respect to a Memorandum shall include all documents
deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Memorandum or Final
Memorandum that are filed subsequent to the date of such Memorandum with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as
2
amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT").
The Securities are being issued and sold in connection with the acquisition
(the "ACQUISITION") by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares
of the capital stock of Dames & Xxxxx Group, a Delaware corporation ("DAMES &
XXXXX"). The Acquisition is being accomplished through a tender offer (the
"TENDER OFFER") by Demeter Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("DEMETER"), for up to all of the issued
and outstanding shares of the capital stock of Dames & Xxxxx, followed by a
merger (the "MERGER") of Demeter with and into Dames & Xxxxx, pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 5, 1999, among the Company, Demeter and
Dames & Xxxxx (the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Dames & Xxxxx will
continue as the surviving corporation. In connection with the Acquisition, on
June 9, 1999, the date of the consummation of the Tender Offer, the Company (i)
issued $100,000,000 of new Series A Preferred Stock and new Series C Preferred
Stock (the "RCBA EQUITY INVESTMENT") to RCBA Strategic Partners, L.P. ("RCBA")
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 5, 1999, between RCBA and
the Company (the "RCBA AGREEMENT"), (ii) issued $200,000,000 principal amount of
its Senior Subordinated Increasing Rate Notes due 2009 (the "BRIDGE NOTES") to
the Placement Agent pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 1999,

AGREEMENT"), and (iii) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated June 9, 1999,

agent, and the lenders party thereto (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"). The Merger

make such declarations and filings would not have a Material Adverse
Effect, and (ii) have not received any notice of proceedings relating to
revocation or modification of any such consent, authorization, approval,
order, certificate or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the
subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a

similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost
that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, except as described in each
Memorandum.

contained in the Memorandum comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X
of the Commission.

person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Placement Agent) will
comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.
(k) During the period of two years after the Closing Date, the
Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to resell any of the Securities which
constitute "restricted securities" under Rule 144 that have been reacquired
by any of them.
(l) The Company will apply the Purchase Price as set forth in the
Final Memorandum under the caption "The Dames & Xxxxx Acquisition, The
Financing Plan and Use of Proceeds".
(m) The Company will use its best efforts to consummate the Merger, in
accordance with the Merger Agreement, as soon as practicable following the
date hereof.
7. Offering of Securities; Restrictions on Transfer. (a) The
Placement Agent represents and warrants that it is a qualified institutional
buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (a "QIB"). The Placement
Agent agrees with the Company and the Guarantors that (i) it will not solicit
offers for, or offer or sell, such Securities by any form of general
solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D
under the Securities Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within
the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and (ii) it will solicit
offers for such Securities only from, and will offer such Securities only to,
persons that it reasonably believes to be (A) in the case of offers inside the
United States, QIBs and (B) in the case of offers outside the United States, to
persons other than U.S. persons ("FOREIGN PURCHASERS," which term shall include
dealers or other professional fiduciaries in the United States acting on a
discretionary basis for foreign beneficial owners (other than an estate or
trust)) in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act that, in each
case, in purchasing such Securities are deemed to have represented and agreed as
provided in the Final Memorandum under the caption "Transfer Restrictions".
(b) The Placement Agent represents, warrants, and agrees with respect to
offers and sales outside the United States that:
(i) it understands that no action has been or will be taken in any
jurisdiction
15
by the Company or the Guarantors that would permit a public offering of the
Securities, or possession or distribution of either Memorandum or any other
offering or publicity material relating to the Securities, in any country
or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required;
(ii) it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each
jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Securities or
has in its possession or distributes either Memorandum or any such other
material, in all cases at its own expense;
(iii) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for
the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Rule 144A
or Regulation S under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;
(iv) it has offered the Securities and will offer and sell the
Securities (A) as part of its distribution at any time and (B) otherwise
until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the
Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S or as
otherwise permitted in Section 7(a); accordingly, neither the Placement
Agent, its Affiliates nor any persons acting on its or their behalf have
engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning
of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities, and the Placement Agent,
its Affiliates and any such persons have complied and will comply with the
offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S;
(v) it has (A) not offered or sold and, prior to the date six
months after the Closing Date, will not offer or sell any Securities to
persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments
(as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise
in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to
the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of
Securities Regulations 1995; (B) complied and will comply with all
applicable provisions of the Financial Services Xxx 0000 with respect to
anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise
involving the United Kingdom, and (C) only issued or passed on and will
only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by it in
connection with the issue of the Securities to a person who is of a kind
described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Xxx 0000 (Investment
Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 or is a person to whom such
document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on;
16
(vi) it understands that the Securities have not been and will not
be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan, and
represents that it has not offered or sold, and agrees not to offer or
sell, directly or indirectly, any Securities in Japan or for the account of
any resident thereof except pursuant to any exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan and otherwise in
compliance with applicable provisions of Japanese law; and
(vii) it agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of sales of the
Securities, it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person
receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases
Securities from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to
substantially the following effect:
"The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may not be offered and
sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S.
persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise
until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the
closing date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S (or
Rule 144A if available) under the Securities Act. Terms used above have
the meaning given to them by Regulation S."
Terms used in this Section 7(b) have the meanings given to them by
Regulation S.
8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company and each Guarantor
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and each person, if
any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or
investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in either Memorandum (as
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to the Placement Agent furnished to the Company in writing
by the Placement Agent expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Memorandum shall not inure
to the benefit of the Placement Agent from whom the person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Securities, or any person
controlling the Placement Agent, if a copy of the Final Memorandum (as then
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any
17
amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the
Placement agent to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of the Securities to such person, and if the Final Memorandum (as so
amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss,
claim, damage or liability.
(b) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
the Guarantors, their directors, their officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company to the Placement Agent, but only with reference to
information relating to the Placement Agent furnished to the Company in writing
by the Placement Agent expressly for use in either Memorandum or any amendments
or supplements thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel and the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified
parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Such firm shall be
designated in writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party
shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by
18
the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees
that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days
after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees
and expenses of counsel in accordance with such request prior to the date of
such settlement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any
time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature
contemplated by this Section 8(c) effected without its consent if such
indemnifying party (i) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such
request to the extent that it in good faith considers such request to be
reasonable and (ii) provides written notice to the indemnified party
substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case prior to the
date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, 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.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b)
is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party
under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Guarantors on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other hand from the
offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(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 8(d)(i) above
but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand
and of the Placement Agent on the other hand in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Placement
Agent on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall
be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the
offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
and the total discounts and commissions received by the Placement Agent in
respect thereof, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, bear to the aggregate
offering price of the Securities, as set forth in the Final Memorandum. The
relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and of the
Placement Agent on the other hand 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
19
to information supplied by the Company, the Guarantors or by the Placement Agent
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The Company, the Guarantors and the Placement Agent agree that it
would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d).
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 8, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by
it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds
the amount of any damages that the Placement Agent has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to
any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8
and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the
Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent or any person
controlling the Placement Agent or by or on behalf of the Company and the
Guarantors, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or
the Guarantors and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.
9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by
notice given by you to the Company and the Guarantors, if (a) after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i)
trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as
the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ii) trading
of any securities of the Company or the Guarantors shall have been suspended on
any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on
commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either
Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and (b) in
the case of any of the events specified in clauses 9(a)(i) through 9(a)(iv),
such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in your
judgment,
20
impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Final Memorandum.
10. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Placement Agent, because
of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or any Guarantor to comply
with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for
any reason the Company or any Guarantor shall be unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse
the Placement Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and
disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Placement Agent in
connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Notices. All notices and other communications under this
Agreement shall be in writing and mailed, delivered or sent by facsimile
transmission to: if sent to the Placement Agent, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, attention: High Yield New
Issues Group, facsimile number (000) 000-0000 and if sent to the Company or the
Guarantors, to URS Corporation, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx,
XX, attention: General Counsel, facsimile number (000) 000-0000.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
14. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part
of this Agreement.
