To the Representatives of the
several Underwriters named in
the respective Terms Agreements
hereinafter described
Dear Sirs:
Motorola, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to
issue and sell, at up to an aggregate initial public offering price of
$2,000,000,000, or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies or
composite securities, including the euro, in one or more series, its (i)
unsecured debt securities (the "Debt Securities") which may be senior (the
"Senior Securities") or subordinated (the "Subordinated Securities"), (ii)
warrants to purchase the Debt Securities (the "Debt Securities Warrants"), (iii)
shares of its common stock, $3 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), (iv)
warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "Common Stock Warrants") and (v)
contracts to purchase Common Stock (the "Stock Purchase Contracts") in one or
more offerings on terms determined at the time of sale. The Debt Securities,
Debt Securities Warrants, Common Stock, Common Stock Warrants and Stock Purchase
Contracts may be offered separately or as a part of units consisting of one or
more such securities (the "Units"; and together with the Debt Securities, Debt
Securities Warrants, Common Stock, Common Stock Warrants and Stock Purchase
Contracts, the "Offered Securities"). The Debt Securities and the Units
containing the Debt Securities (collectively, the "Offered Debt Securities")
will be issued under one of several indentures depending upon the particular
issuance. The Senior Securities will be issued under an indenture dated as of
May 1, 1995 between the Company and Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as successor
trustee to BNY Midwest Trust Company and Xxxxxx Trust and Savings Bank), as
Trustee (the "Senior Indenture"). The Subordinated Securities will be issued
under an indenture between the Company and a trustee to be named in the Terms
Agreement (as defined below) relating to any Subordinated Securities (the
"Subordinated Indenture"). The Senior Indenture and Subordinated Indenture are
sometimes referred to as the "Indentures." The Debt Securities Warrants, Common
Stock Warrants and Units containing either of the
foregoing (collectively, the "Warrants") will be issued under one or more
warrant agreements (the "Warrant Agreements") between the Company and the
Warrant Agent identified in such Warrant Agreement. The Stock Purchase Contracts
and Units containing the foregoing (collectively, the "Offered Stock Purchase
Units") will be issued under one or more purchase contract agreements (the
"Purchase Contract Agreements") between the Company and the Purchase Contract
Agent identified in such Purchase Contract Agreement. Each issue of the Offered
Debt Securities, Warrants and Stock Purchase Contracts may vary, as applicable,
as to the aggregate principal amount, maturity date or dates, interest rate or
rates and timing of payments thereof, redemption provisions, conversion
provisions, exercise provisions and sinking fund requirements, if any, and any
other variable terms which the applicable Indenture, Warrant Agreement or
Purchase Contract Agreement, as the case may be, contemplates may be set forth
in the Offered Debt Securities, Warrants and Stock Purchase Contracts as issued
from time to time.
Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Offered
Securities, it will enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit
A hereto (the "Terms Agreement") providing for the sale of such Offered
Securities to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, the underwriter or
underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters" or "you", which terms shall
include the underwriter or underwriters named therein whether acting alone in
the sale of the Offered Securities or as members of an underwriting syndicate).
The Terms Agreement relating to each offering of the Offered Securities shall
specify, where applicable, the principal amount of the Offered Securities to be
issued, the name or names of the Underwriters participating in such offering
(subject to substitution as provided in Section 9 hereof) and the principal
amount of the Offered Securities which each severally agrees to purchase, the
name or names of the Underwriters acting as manager or co-managers in connection
with such offerings, if any (the "Representatives", which term shall include
each Underwriter in the event that there shall be no manager or co-managers),
the price at which the Offered Securities are to be purchased by the
Underwriters from the Company, the initial public offering price, the date, time
and place of delivery and payment, the number of shares to be issued in the case
of the issuance of Common Stock or sale of Stock Purchase Contracts, and, to the
extent not otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture, Warrant Agreement or
Purchase Contract Agreement in the case of the issuance of the Offered Debt
Securities, Warrants or Stock Purchase Contracts, their terms. Each offering of
the Offered Securities will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by
the applicable Terms Agreement, and this Agreement and such Terms Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each Underwriter participating
in the offering of such Offered Securities.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-_____) relating to
(i) the Offered Securities and (ii) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise of the Offered Securities in the case of the issuance of Offered
Securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, and the offering
thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and has filed such amendments thereto as
may have been required to the date hereof. Such registration statement, as
amended, has been declared effective by the Commission, and the Indentures have
been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939
Act").
2
Such registration statement, as amended, and the prospectus relating to the sale
of the Offered Securities by the Company constituting a part thereof, including
all documents incorporated therein by reference, as from time to time amended or
supplemented pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"1934 Act"), the 1933 Act or otherwise, are referred to herein as the
"Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus", respectively; provided, however,
that a supplement of the Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix) hereof (a
"Prospectus Supplement") shall be deemed to have supplemented the Prospectus
only with respect to the offering of Offered Securities to which such Prospectus
Supplement relates. If the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the rules
and regulations of the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations"), all references to
the Prospectus shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the form of
prospectus and the abbreviated term sheet, taken together, provided to the
Underwriters by the Company in reliance on Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations
(the "Rule 434 Prospectus"). If the Company files a registration statement to
register a portion of the Offered Securities and relies on Rule 462(b) of the
1933 Act Regulations for such registration statement to become effective upon
filing with the Commission (the "Rule 462 Registration Statement"), then any
reference to "Registration Statement" herein shall be deemed to be to both the
registration statement referred to above (No. 333- _____) and the Rule 462
Registration Statement, as each such registration statement may be amended
pursuant to the 1933 Act.
SECTION 1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. (a) The Company represents
and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof and as of the date of the
applicable Terms Agreement (such latter date being hereinafter referred to as
the "Representation Date") as follows:
(i) The Registration Statement has become effective under the
1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to

Registration Statement and the Prospectus, at the time the Registration
Statement became effective and as of the applicable Representation
Date, complied in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the 1933
Act Regulations. The Registration Statement, at the time the
Registration Statement became effective (or, if an amendment to the
Registration Statement or an annual report on Form 10-K has been filed
by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement, then at the time of the most recent such
filing) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, at the
time the Registration Statement became effective and as of the
applicable Representation Date, did not contain an 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
representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to
statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or
Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter, or on behalf of
3
any Underwriter by the Representatives, expressly for use in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus.
(ii) The documents incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the
Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (the "1934 Act Regulations"), and, when read
together and with the other information in the Prospectus, at the time
the Registration Statement and any amendments thereof became or become
effective under the 1933 Act and at each Representation Date, did not
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, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading.
(iii) The Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole
have not sustained since the date of the latest financial statements
included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any material
loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or
other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise
than as set forth, incorporated by reference or contemplated in the
Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except as
otherwise stated or incorporated therein, there has not been any change
in the capital stock (other than upon exercise of outstanding stock
options or upon conversion of convertible securities outstanding on the
date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Prospectus or
pursuant to the Company's employee stock ownership plan or pursuant to
the Company's employee stock purchase plans or the Company's employee
savings and profit sharing plan), any significant increase in the
long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or
any material adverse change, or any development which the Company has
reasonable cause to believe will involve a prospective material adverse
change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, consolidated
financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or, other than
the Company's regular quarterly dividend, any dividend or distribution
of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its
capital stock.
(iv) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State
of Delaware, with corporate power and authority to conduct its business
as described in the Prospectus with only such exceptions as are not
material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries considered
as a whole.
(v) The authorized capitalization is as set forth or
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
4
(vi) The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement, the applicable Indenture in
the case of the issuance of the Offered Debt Securities, the applicable
Warrant Agreement in the case of the issuance of the Warrants and the
applicable Purchase Contract Agreement in the case of issuance of the
Stock Purchase Contracts, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and will not conflict with or constitute a
breach of, or a default under, any material contract, indenture,
mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; nor
will such action result in a violation of the provisions of the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the
Company, as amended, or any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment,
order or administrative or court decree.
(vii) Other than (a) as set forth, incorporated by reference,
or contemplated in the Prospectus and (b) litigation incident to the
kind of business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries, which
in the case of those items in (b) individually and in the aggregate is
not material to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole,
there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the
Company and its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined
adversely to the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company has
reasonable cause to believe would individually or in the aggregate have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position,
stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries considered as a whole; and, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by
governmental authorities or threatened by others.

governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the
sale of the Offered Securities or the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the applicable Terms
Agreement, the applicable Indenture in the case of the issuance of the
Offered Debt Securities, the applicable Warrant Agreement in the case
of the issuance of the Warrants or the applicable Purchase Contract
Agreement in the case of the issuance of the Stock Purchase Contracts,

the 1934 Act or 1934 Act Regulations, the 1939 Act or state securities
laws.

pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized, and when issued,
authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, against payment of the

constitute a valid and legally binding instrument enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles, and except as
enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) requirements that a claim with respect
to any Offered Debt Securities denominated other than in U.S. dollars (or a

converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date
determined pursuant to applicable law or (ii) governmental authority to limit,

SECTION 3. COVENANTS. (a) The Company covenants with each Underwriter
as follows:
(i) From the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, and for
so long as a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with
the sale of the Offered Securities covered by such Terms Agreement, the
Company will notify the Representatives immediately, and confirm the
notice in writing, (A) of the effectiveness of any amendment to the
Registration Statement, (B) of the mailing or the delivery to the
Commission for filing of any supplement to the Prospectus or any
document to be filed pursuant to the 1934 Act which will be
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or
Prospectus, (C) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission with
respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus
Supplement, or the documents incorporated therein, (D) of any request
by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or
any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, or the documents
incorporated therein, or for additional information, (E) of the
suspension of the qualification of (i) the Offered Securities, or (ii)
the shares of Common Stock (including the Rights associated therewith)
issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Offered Securities, in the
case of the issuance of Offered Securities convertible into or
exercisable for Common Stock, for offering or sale in any jurisdiction,
or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any such
purpose, and (F) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any order
preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus supplement, or the initiation of any proceedings for any
such purpose. The Company will use every reasonable effort to prevent
the issuance of any stop order or any order preventing or suspending
the use of the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus supplement or
suspending such qualification, and, in the event of the issuance of a
stop order or any order preventing or suspending the use of the
Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus supplement or suspending such
qualification, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible
moment.
(ii) From the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, and for
so long as a Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection with
the sale of the Offered Securities covered by such Terms Agreement, the
Company will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file
or prepare any amendment to the
9
Registration Statement (including any post-effective amendment) or any
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (including any revised
prospectus which the Company proposes for use by you in connection with
the offering of the Offered Securities which differs from the
prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the Registration
Statement became effective, whether or not such revised prospectus is
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act
Regulations, or any abbreviated term sheet prepared in reliance on Rule
434 of the 1933 Act Regulations) and will furnish them with copies of
any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be
filed a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use,
as the case may be, and will not file any such amendment or supplement
or use any such prospectus to which you or your counsel shall
reasonably object.
(iii) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, will file promptly all
reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to
be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 0000 Xxx.
(iv) The Company will deliver to each of the Representatives
two copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each
amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated
by reference therein and, if applicable, documents incorporated by
reference into the Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
0000 Xxx) and will also deliver to the Representatives, from time to
time during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered
under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, as many conformed copies of the
Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto
(without exhibits) as the Representatives may reasonably request.
(v) Prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the business
day next succeeding the date of the applicable Terms Agreement and from
time to time during the period when the Prospectus is required to be
delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, the Company will furnish
to the Representatives in New York City such number of copies of the
Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Representatives may
reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act or the
1934 Act or the respective applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder.
(vi) The Company will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933
Act Regulations and the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to
permit the completion of the distribution of the Offered Securities as
contemplated in the applicable Terms Agreement and in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus. If at any time when the Prospectus is
required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of
the Offered Securities any event shall occur as a result of which it is
necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the
Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at
the time it is delivered to a purchaser, the Company will forthwith
amend or supplement the Prospectus (in form and substance satisfactory
to your counsel) so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Prospectus
will not include an untrue statement of a
10
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at
the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, and the
Company will furnish to the Representatives a reasonable number of
copies of such amendment or supplement.
(vii) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with you, to
qualify the Offered Securities and, in the case of the issuance of
Offered Securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock,
the shares of Common Stock (including the Rights associated therewith)
issuable upon conversion or exercise, as the case may be, for offering
and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other
jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to
file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction. In
each jurisdiction in which the Offered Securities, or in the case of
the issuance of Offered Securities convertible into or exercisable for
Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock (including the Rights
associated therewith), have been so qualified, the Company will file
such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such
jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for so long as
may be required to complete such distribution of such Offered
Securities.
(viii) With respect to each sale of Offered Securities, the
Company agrees that it will make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the
close of the period covered thereby, earnings statements (in form
complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering
a twelve-month period beginning, in each case, not later than the first
day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the "effective date"
(as defined in said Rule 158) of the Registration Statement relating to
such Offered Securities.
(ix) If the Company elects not to rely on Rule 434 under the
1933 Act Regulations, immediately following the execution of each Terms
Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus Supplement setting
forth, where applicable, the principal amount or number of shares, as
the case may be, of the Offered Securities covered thereby, the name or
names of the Underwriters (subject to substitution as provided in
Section 9 hereof) and the principal amount or number of shares, as the
case may be, of the Offered Securities which each severally has agreed
to purchase, the name or names of the Representatives, the price at
which the Offered Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters
from the Company, the initial public offering price, the selling
concession and reallowance, if any, the other terms of the Offered
Securities to the extent not otherwise specified in the applicable
Indenture or Warrant Agreement, as the case may be, in the event the
Offered Securities are Offered Debt Securities or Warrants, and such
other information as the Representatives and the Company deem
appropriate in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.
The Company will promptly transmit copies of the Prospectus Supplement
to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 of the 1933 Act
Regulations and will furnish to the Underwriters named therein as many
copies of the Prospectus and such
11
Prospectus Supplement as the Representatives shall reasonably request.
If the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations,
immediately following the execution of each Terms Agreement, the
Company will (i) prepare an abbreviated term sheet that complies with
the requirements of Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations, (ii) provide
the Underwriters with copies of the form of the Rule 434 Prospectus in
such number as the Underwriters may reasonably request and (iii) file
or transmit for filing with the Commission the form of Prospectus
complying with Rule 434(c)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations in accordance
with Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations by the close of business
in New York on the business day immediately succeeding the date of the
Terms Agreement.
(b) In the event the Offered Securities are Offered Debt Securities,
Debt Securities Warrants or Units containing Debt Securities Warrants, the
Company additionally covenants with each Underwriter that the Company will not
contract to sell or announce or make any offering, sale or other disposition of
any debt securities of the Company having a maturity greater than one year
during the period beginning from the date of any Terms Agreement and continuing
through the later of the termination of trading restrictions with respect to the
Offered Securities, as notified to the Company by the Representatives, or the
applicable Closing Time except for (i) proposed issues of debt securities with
respect to which the Company shall have advised the Representatives in writing
prior to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement and (ii) except for
such other debt securities with respect to which the Representatives have given
their prior written consent.
(c) In the event the Offered Securities are shares of Common Stock,
Units containing shares of Common Stock or are convertible into or exercisable
for Common Stock, the Company additionally covenants with each Underwriter as
follows:
(i) The Company will not contract to sell or announce or make
any offering, sale or other disposition of any shares of Common Stock
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock (collectively, "Common Equity Securities"), nor will the Company
sell or grant options, rights or warrants with respect to any Common
Equity Securities (except (i) under the Company's stock option and
other employee incentive and benefit plans existing on the date of the
applicable Terms Agreement, (ii) for sales of Common Equity Securities
under currently effective secondary shelf registration statements,
(iii) Common Stock with an aggregate Market Value (as defined below) of
no more than $500,000,000 issued as consideration for acquisitions and
(iv) for Common Stock issued upon conversion of outstanding convertible
securities), in each case during a period of 90 days after the
commencement of the public offering of the Offered Securities
referenced in Section 3(c) hereof, except for (a) proposed issues of
Common Equity Securities with respect to which the Company shall have
advised the Representatives in writing prior to the execution hereof
and (b) except for such other Common Equity Securities with respect to

The "Market Value" of Common Stock issued as consideration for
acquisitions shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock issued
times the
12
Closing Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
prior to the date on which such Common Stock is issued. The "Closing
Price" of the Common Stock on any Trading Day means the closing sale
price (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale
price) of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE")
on such date or, if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on the
NYSE on any such date, as reported in the composite transactions for
the principal United States securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is so listed, or if the Common Stock is not so listed on a United
States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by The
Nasdaq Stock Market, or, if the Common Stock is not so reported, the
last quoted bid price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar
organization, or, if such bid price is not available, the market value
of the Common Stock on such date as determined by a nationally
recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this
purpose by the Company. A "Trading Day" means a day on which the Common
Stock (A) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional
securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the
close of business and (B) has traded at least once on the national or
regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market
that is the primary market for the trading of the Common Stock.
(ii) The Company will use its best efforts to effect the
listing of (A) Offered Securities that are shares of the Common Stock
and (B) shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exercise of the Offered Securities, as the case may be, on the New York
Stock Exchange (and/or such other exchanges or trading markets on which
the Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading), and to cause
such Offered Securities to be registered under the 1934 Act.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of Offered Securities
convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, the Company agrees to
reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights,
shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to
satisfy any obligations to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion
or exercise of the Offered Securities, as the case may be.

transfer taxes on resale of any of the Offered Securities by them, and any

reasonably incurred by you in making preparations for the purchase, sale and

subsequent to the date of the applicable Terms Agreement), and (ii) since the
respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus (excluding any amendments or supplements to such Registration

as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or incorporated by reference or
contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described

war, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iii) in your
judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public

sharing plan) or any increase in the consolidated long-term debt of the Company
and its subsidiaries or any decrease in consolidated net current assets or net
assets as compared with the amounts shown in the most recent balance sheet
included in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus or, during the
period from the date of the most
23
recent financial statements included in or incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus to a specified date not more than three days prior to the date of
such Terms Agreement, there were any decreases, as compared with the
corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales, net

Statement and the Prospectus disclose have occurred or may occur; and (iv) in

specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to certain
amounts, percentages and financial information which are included in or
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and Prospectus and
which are reasonably specified by you, and have found such amounts, percentages
and financial information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting,
financial and other records of the Company and its subsidiaries identified in
such letter.
(i) At each Closing Time, your counsel shall have been furnished with

prior written consent.

24
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement, including any preliminary prospectus
supplement, thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including, subject to Section 6(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements
of counsel chosen by you), reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened,
or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the
extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement does not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement, including any preliminary prospectus
supplement, thereto); and further provided that this indemnity agreement does
not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in a
preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, as the case may be,
but eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus if a copy of the Prospectus
(excluding documents incorporated therein by reference) was not delivered by you
to the person asserting the claim arising from such untrue statement or omission
or such alleged untrue statement or omission, at or prior to the time required
by the 1933 Act.
25
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, each of the Company's officers who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a)
of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement, including any preliminary prospectus
supplement, thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or
such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement,
including any preliminary prospectus supplement, thereto).
(c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case
any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who
shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such
subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in
each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with
the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In no event
shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one
counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for
all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances.
SECTION 7. CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties
although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and you shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and
you, as incurred, in such proportions that you are responsible for that portion
represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the
cover page of the Prospectus bears to the initial public offering price
appearing thereon and the Company is responsible for the balance; provided,
however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes
of this Section, each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same right to contribution as you,
26
and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.
SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE
DELIVERY. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement, or contained in certificates of
officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in
full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to
the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling
person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the
Offered Securities to the Underwriters.
SECTION 9. DEFAULT. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at
the applicable Closing Time to purchase the Offered Securities which it or they
are obligated to purchase under the applicable Terms Agreement (the "Defaulted
Securities"), then the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours
thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting
Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all,
of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the
terms herein set forth. If, however, during such 24 hours the Representatives
shall not have completed such arrangements for the purchase of all of the
Defaulted Securities, then:
(a) if the aggregate initial public offering price of the Defaulted
Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate initial public offering price of
the Offered Securities to be purchased pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the
non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the full amount
thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations under
the applicable Terms Agreement (including this Agreement as incorporated by
reference therein) bear to the underwriting obligations of all such
non-defaulting Underwriters; or
(b) if the aggregate initial public offering price of the Defaulted
Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate initial public offering price of the
Offered Securities to be purchased pursuant to such Terms Agreement, such Terms
Agreement (including this Agreement as incorporated by reference therein) shall
terminate, without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter
or the Company.
No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under
the applicable Terms Agreement or this Agreement.
In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters as set
forth in this Section, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the
right to postpone the applicable Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven
days in order that any required changes in the Registration Statement,
Prospectus or applicable Prospectus Supplement, or in any other documents or
arrangements, may be effected.
SECTION 10. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or
transmitted by any standard
27
form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to you
as provided in the applicable Terms Agreement; notices to the Company shall be
directed to it at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000;

SECTION 11. PARTIES. This Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement
shall each inure to the benefit of and be binding upon you, the Company and your
and the Company's respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this
Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement is intended or shall be construed to
give any person, firm or corporation, other than you, the Company and your and
the Company's respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and
directors referred to in Sections 6, 7 and 8 and their heirs and legal
representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement or any provision
herein or therein contained. This Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement
and all conditions and provisions hereof and thereof are intended to be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of you, the Company and your and the Company's
respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors
and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other

shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in said
State. Specified times of day refer to New York City time.
