contained in the Registration Statement or included or would include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a

of Firm Securities (rounded up or down, as determined by the Representatives in
their discretion, in order to avoid fractions) obtained by multiplying 6,148,148
Firm Securities in the case of the Company and the number of Firm Securities set
forth opposite the name of such Selling Stockholder in Schedule A hereto, in the
case of a Selling Stockholder, in each case by a fraction the numerator of which
is the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter
in Schedule B hereto and the denominator of which is the total number of Firm
Securities.
Certificates in negotiable form for the Offered Securities to be sold
by XXX Xxxxxxxxxxx, Microsoft Corporation, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and the Executor (collectively, the "CUSTODIAL SELLING

The Company, the CSFB Merchant Banking Selling Stockholders, the Xxxxxx
Selling Stockholders and the Custodian will deliver the Firm Securities to the
Representatives for the accounts of the Underwriters, against payment of the

Representatives drawn to the order of CommVault Systems, Inc., in the case of
6,148,148 shares of Firm Securities being sold by the Company, CSFB Merchant

September [o], 2006, or at such other time not later than seven full business
days thereafter as the Representatives and the Company determine, such time
being herein referred to as the "FIRST CLOSING DATE". For purposes of Rule
15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the First Closing Date (if later than the
otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment
of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered Securities sold pursuant
to the offering. The certificates for the Firm Securities so to be delivered

the Optional Securities at the purchase price per Security to be paid for the
Firm Securities. The CSFB Merchant Banking Selling Stockholders agree, severally
and not jointly, to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree,
severally and not jointly, to purchase the Optional Securities. Such Optional
Securities shall be purchased from the CSFB Merchant Banking Selling
Stockholders for the
13
account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the number of Firm
Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name bears to the total number
of Firm Securities (subject to adjustment by the Representatives to eliminate
fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of
covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm
Securities. No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm
Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The
right to purchase the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be
exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be
surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representatives to the
Company and the Selling Stockholders.
Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities,
being herein referred to as an "OPTIONAL CLOSING DATE", which may be the First

Representatives and the Company but shall be not later than five full business
days after written notice of election to purchase Optional Securities is given.
The CSFB Merchant Banking Selling Stockholders will deliver the Optional
Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date to the Representatives
for the accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment of the purchase
price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or
wire transfer to an account at a bank reasonably acceptable to the
Representatives drawn to the order of CSFB Merchant Banking Selling
Stockholders, at the New York office of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP. The

4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several
Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Securities for sale to the public as
set forth in the Prospectus.
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the
several Underwriters and the Selling Stockholders that:
(a) The Company has filed or will file each Statutory
Prospectus pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b)(1) (or, if
applicable and consented to by the Representatives, subparagraph (4))
not later than the second business day following the earlier of the
date it is first used or the date of this Agreement.
(b) If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration
Statement is prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Company will file the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to and in
accordance with subparagraph (1) (or, if applicable and if consented to
by the Representatives, subparagraph (4)) of Rule 424(b) not later than
the earlier of (A) the second business day following the execution and
delivery of this Agreement or (B) the fifteenth business day after the
Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement.
The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any
such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b). If the Effective Time of the
Initial Registration Statement is prior to the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and an additional registration statement is necessary
to register a portion of the Offered Securities under the Act but the
Effective Time thereof has not occurred as of such execution and
delivery, the Company will file the additional registration statement
or, if filed, will file a post-effective amendment thereto with the
Commission pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 462(b) on or prior
to 10:00 P.M., New York time, on the date of this Agreement or, if
earlier, on or prior to the time the Prospectus is printed and
distributed to any Underwriter, or will make such filing at such later
date as shall have been consented to by the Representatives.
14
(c) The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of
any proposal to amend or supplement the initial or any additional
registration statement as filed or the related prospectus or the
Initial Registration Statement, the Additional Registration Statement
(if any) or any Statutory Prospectus and will not effect such amendment
or supplementation without the Representatives' consent; and the
Company will also advise the Representatives promptly of the
effectiveness of each Registration Statement (if its Effective Time is
subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement) and of any
amendment or supplementation of a Registration Statement or any
Statutory Prospectus and of the institution by the Commission of any
stop order proceedings in respect of a Registration Statement and will
use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and
to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered
Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be required
to be) delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any
Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the
Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is
necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act,
the Company will promptly notify the Representatives of such event and
will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at its own expense,
an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or
omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the
Representatives' consent to, nor the Underwriters' delivery of, any
such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the
conditions set forth in Section 7. If at any time following issuance of
an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or
development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the
Registration Statement relating to the Offered Securities or included
or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or
would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at
that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify
the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own
expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct
such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(e) As soon as practicable, but not later than the
Availability Date (as defined below), the Company will make generally
available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a
period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date of the
Initial Registration Statement (or, if later, the Effective Date of the
Additional Registration Statement) which will satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Act. For the purpose of the preceding sentence,
"AVAILABILITY DATE" means the 45th day after the end of the fourth
fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes such
Effective Date, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last
quarter of the Company's fiscal year, "AVAILABILITY DATE" means the
90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter.
(f) The Company will furnish to the Representatives copies of
each Registration Statement (five of which will be photocopies of such
signed Registration Statement and will include all exhibits), each
related preliminary prospectus, and, so long as a prospectus relating
to the Offered Securities is required to be delivered under the Act in
connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, the Prospectus and
all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case in such
quantities as the Representatives reasonably request. The Prospectus
shall be so furnished on or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the
business day following the later of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement.
All other documents shall be so furnished as soon as available. The
Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the
Underwriters all such documents.
(g) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the
Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
Representatives designate and will continue such
15
qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to
do business, consent to service of process or become subject to
taxation in any jurisdiction in which it has not already done so.
(h) The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that the
Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of the
obligations of the Company and each Selling Stockholder under this
Agreement, for any filing fees and other expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification of
the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Representatives designate and the printing of memoranda relating
thereto, for the filing fee incident to the review by the NASD of the
Offered Securities, for any travel expenses of the Company's officers
and employees and any other expenses of the Company in connection with
attending or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the
Offered Securities, including 50% of the cost of any aircraft chartered
in connection with attending or hosting such meetings, for expenses
incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus
(including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters
and for expenses incurred for preparing, printing and distributing any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses to investors or prospective investors.
(i) For a period of 180 days after the date of the initial
public offering of the Offered Securities ("FULL LOCK-UP PERIOD"), the
Company will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a
registration statement under the Act relating to, any additional shares
of its Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for any shares of its Securities, or publicly disclose the
intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing,
without the prior written consent of the Representatives, except (i)
the delivery of 16,019,480 shares of Securities on the Closing Date to
the holders of the Series X, X, X, X, X, XX, XX or CC Preferred Stock
of the Company outstanding on the date hereof upon the conversion of
such shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Securities, (ii) the
concurrent private placement, as described in the Prospectus, (iii)
upon the exercise of warrants or options, in each case outstanding on
the date hereof and (iv) grants of employee stock options pursuant to
the terms of a plan in effect on the date hereof and issuances of
Securities pursuant to the exercise of such options. Furthermore, if
(A) during the last 17 days of the Full Lock-up Period the Company
releases earnings results or (B) prior to the expiration of the Full
Lock-up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings
results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Full
Lock-up Period, then, in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Full
Lock-up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day
period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results unless
the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension. The Company will
provide the Representatives with notice of any announcement described
in clause (B) of the preceding sentence that gives rise to an extension
of the Full Lock-up Period.
(j) In connection with the Directed Share Program, the Company
will ensure that the Directed Shares will be restricted to the extent
required by the NASD or the NASD rules from sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge or hypothecation for a period of three months following the date
of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Designated
Underwriter will notify the Company as to which Participants will need
to be so restricted. The Company will direct the transfer agent to
place stop transfer restrictions upon such securities for such period
of time.
(k) The Company will pay all reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Directed
Share Program and stamp duties, similar taxes or duties or other taxes,
if any, incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Directed
Share Program.
(l) The Company covenants with the Underwriters that the
Company will comply in all material respects with all applicable
securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations in
16
each foreign jurisdiction in which the Directed Shares are offered in
connection with the Directed Share Program.
6. Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that,
unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter
represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company
and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to
the Offered 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 with the Commission. Any such free writing
prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representatives is hereinafter
referred to as a "PERMITTED FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS". The Company represents
that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus as an "issuer free writing prospectus", as defined in Rule 433, and
has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433
applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission
filing where required, legending and record keeping. The Company represents that
it has satisfied and agrees that it will satisfy the conditions in Rule 433 to
avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any electronic road show.

development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition
(financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise which, in the

of the Company by any "nationally recognized statistical rating

proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Securities, whether
in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary
market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading
in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting

files his claim with the competent Netherlands Antilles court,
that Netherlands Antilles court will generally give binding
effect to the New York judgment insofar as it finds that the
jurisdiction of the New York court has been based on grounds
which are internationally acceptable and that
24
proper legal procedures have been observed and unless the New
York judgment contravenes Netherlands Antilles public policy.

Stockholder of which such counsel are aware have been fully paid or
provided for; and

The Representatives shall have also received an opinion, dated such

Executor, to the effect that:

Executor to each of the several Underwriters as provided in this
Agreement, the delivery of such Offered Securities to Cede or such
other nominee as may be designated by DTC, the registration of such
Offered Securities in the name of Cede or such other nominee and the
crediting of such Offered Securities on the records of DTC to security
accounts in the name of such Underwriter (assuming that neither DTC nor
such Underwriter has notice of any adverse claim (as such phrase is

such counsel has assumed that when such payment, delivery and crediting

name of Cede
26
or such other nominee as may be designated by DTC, in each case on the
Company's share registry in accordance with its certificate of
incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, (y) DTC will be registered as
a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC
and (z) appropriate entries to the securities account or accounts in
the name of such Underwriter on the records of DTC will have been made
pursuant to the UCC; and
(ii) The Power of Attorney and Custody Agreement are valid and
binding obligations of such Selling Stockholder, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to
general equity principles.
(m) The Representatives shall have received from Cravath, Swaine &
Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated such
Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the validity of
the Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date, the Registration

Stockholders and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents
as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such
matters.
(n) The Representatives shall have received a certificate, dated such
Closing Date, of the President or any Vice President and a principal financial

shall state that: the representations and warranties of the Company in this
Agreement are true and correct; the Company has complied with all agreements and

and (3) of Rule 462(b) was filed pursuant to Rule 462(b), including payment of
the applicable filing fee in accordance with Rule 111(a) or (b) under the Act,
prior to the Applicable Time; and, subsequent to the date of the most recent
financial statements in each of the Prospectus and the General Disclosure
Package, there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event
involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or
other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in each of the Prospectus and
the General Disclosure Package or as described in such certificate.
(o) The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated such
Closing Date, of Ernst & Young LLP (i) that meets the requirements of subsection
(a) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to in such
subsection will be a date not more than three days prior to such Closing Date
for the purposes of this subsection and (ii) in form and substance satisfactory
to the Representatives covering the financial information with respect to the
Company set forth in the Prospectus that is not also set forth in the General
Disclosure Package.
(p) On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Representatives
shall have received lock-up letters from each of the stockholders of the Company
listed on Schedule D hereto.
(q) The Custodian will to deliver to the Representatives a letter
stating that they will deliver to each Selling Stockholder a United States
Treasury Department Form 1099 (or other applicable form or statement specified
by the United States Treasury Department regulations in lieu thereof) on or
before January 31 of the year following the date of this Agreement.
27
The Selling Stockholders and the Company will furnish the Representatives with
such conformed copies of the opinions listed in this Section 7 and such
certificates, letters and documents as the Representatives reasonably request.
The Representatives may in their sole discretion waive on behalf of the
Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the
Underwriters hereunder, whether in respect of an Optional Closing Date or
otherwise.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers,
affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any "issuer information" filed pursuant to Rule
433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary
prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred; 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 an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such
documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for
use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information
furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in
subsection (c) below.
Insofar as the foregoing indemnity agreement, or the representations
and warranties contained in Section 2(a)(ii), may permit indemnification for
liabilities under the Act of any person who is an Underwriter or a partner or
controlling person of an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
and who, at the date of this Agreement, is a director, officer or controlling
person of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such provisions may contravene Federal public policy as expressed in
the Act and may therefore be unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification under such agreement or such representations and warranties for
any such liabilities (except insofar as such agreement provides for the payment
by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such a person, the Company will submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction (unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company the matter has
already been settled by controlling precedent) the question of whether or not
indemnification by it for such liabilities is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and therefore unenforceable, and the Company will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Designated
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Designated Underwriter
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act (the "DESIGNATED ENTITIES"), 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) (i) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared
by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Participants in
connection with the Directed Share Program or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) caused by the
failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Shares
that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising out of, or
in connection with the Directed Share Program, other than losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally
judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of
the Designated Entities.
(b) The Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers,
affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such
28
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may
become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any "issuer information" filed
pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related
preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however,
that the Selling Stockholders 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 an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission
from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by an Underwriter through the
Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed
that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in subsection (c) below; and provided further,
however, that the aggregate liability under this subsection and Section 18 of
each Selling Stockholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate
gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts but before expenses,
to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Offered Securities sold by such
Selling Stockholder hereunder. For each Selling Stockholder other than Xxxxx X.
Xxxxxx, the indemnity provided for in this paragraph (b) shall apply only to the
extent that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission
or alleged omission from a Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus,
the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any "issuer information"
filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
related preliminary prospectus is made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by the applicable Selling
Stockholder specifically for use therein; it being understood and agreed that
(i) for each Selling Stockholder other than the CSFB Merchant Banking Selling
Stockholders, the only such information furnished in writing to the Company by
such Selling Stockholder is that information regarding such Selling Stockholder
set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Principal and Selling
Stockholders" and (ii) for each CSFB Merchant Banking Selling Stockholder, the
only such information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling
Stockholder is that information regarding such Selling Stockholder set forth in
the Prospectus under the captions "Principal and Selling Stockholders", "Certain
Relationships and Related Party Transactions" and "Underwriting".
(c) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, and each
Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
the Company, such Selling Stockholder or such other persons may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any
related preliminary prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and
each Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being
understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any
Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on
behalf of each Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in
the fourth paragraph under the caption "Underwriting", the information contained
in the sixth paragraph under the caption "Underwriting" and the information
contained in the last two sentences of the eighteenth paragraph under the
caption "Underwriting".
29
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c)
above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided
further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall, except in the event of a conflict of
interest, 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 will not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section, as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity
may be sought pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 8(a) hereof in respect
of such action or proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm for the
indemnified parties, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for the Designated Underwriter for the defense of any losses, claims,
damages and liabilities arising out of the Directed Share Program, and all
persons, if any, who control the Designated Underwriter within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Act of Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened action 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 (i) includes
an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any
claims that are the subject matter of such action 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.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b)
or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts
and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling
Stockholders or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of
this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (x) no Underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (y) no Selling
Stockholder shall be
30
required to contribute pursuant to this subsection (e) and Section 18 an
aggregate amount in excess of the amount by which the aggregate gross proceeds
after underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses to such Selling
Stockholder from the sale of Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder
hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Selling Stockholder 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 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (e) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under
this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the
Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter or the QIU
(as hereinafter defined) within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of
the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which
the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the
Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act; subject, however, to any
limitations contained herein or therein.
9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default
in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the
First or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered
Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities
that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the
Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the
Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other
persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made
by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated
severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase
the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and
the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to which such
default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered
Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date
and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives, the Company and the
Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other
persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the
Company or the Selling Stockholders, except as provided in Section 11 (provided
that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First
Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any
Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this
Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an
Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. Qualified Independent Underwriter. The Company hereby confirms its
engagement of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. as, and Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. hereby confirms
its agreement with the Company to render services as, a "qualified independent
underwriter" within the meaning of Rule 2720(b)(15) of the NASD with respect to
the offering and sale of the Offered Securities. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., in its
capacity as qualified independent underwriter and not otherwise, is referred to
herein as the "QIU". As compensation for the services of the QIU hereunder, the
Company agrees to pay the QIU $10,000 on the First Closing Date.
11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the
Selling Stockholders, of the Company or its officers and of the several
Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the
results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Selling
Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
9 or if for any reason the purchase of the
31
Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall
remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to
Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling
Stockholders, and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 and Section 18, and the
obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders pursuant to Section 10,
shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased
hereunder the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations
under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered
Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than
solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the
occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii)
of Section 7(c), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all
out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably
incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

32
15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
16. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Selling
Stockholders acknowledge and agree that:
(a) the Underwriters have been retained solely to act as underwriters
in connection with the sale of the Company's securities and that no fiduciary,
advisory or agency relationship between the Company or the Selling Stockholders,
on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, has been created in respect
of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of
whether the Underwriters have advised or are advising the Company or the Selling
Stockholders on other matters;
(b) the price of the securities set forth in this Agreement was
established by the Company and the Selling Stockholders following discussions
and arms-length negotiations with the Representatives and the Company and the
Selling Stockholders are capable of evaluating and understanding, and understand
and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;
(c) the Company and the Selling Stockholders have been advised that the
Underwriters and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions
which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company or the Selling
Stockholders and that the Underwriters have no obligation to disclose such
interests and transactions to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by virtue
of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) the Company and the Selling Stockholders waive, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against the Underwriters for
breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, agree that the Underwriters shall have no liability (whether
direct or indirect) to the Company or the Selling Stockholders in respect of
such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting such a fiduciary duty
claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees
or creditors of the Company.
17. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in
any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
18. Supplemental Indemnity of the QIU. (a) The Company and the Selling
Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., in its capacity as QIU, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the QIU may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any "issuer information" filed pursuant to Rule
433(d), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary
prospectus, (ii) 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 or (iii) any act or omission to act or any alleged act or
omission to act by Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co. as QIU in connection with any
transaction contemplated by this Agreement or undertaken in preparing for the
purchase, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities, except as to this clause
(iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability results from
the gross negligence or bad faith of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. in performing the
services as QIU, and will reimburse the QIU for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the QIU in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are
33
incurred; provided, however, that the aggregate liability under this subsection
(a) and Section 8 of each Selling Stockholder shall be limited to an amount
equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and
discounts but before expenses, to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of
Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder. For each Selling
Stockholder other than Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, the indemnity provided for in this
subsection (a) shall apply only to the extent that any such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from a Registration
Statement, each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, any "issuer information" filed pursuant to Rule 433(d), or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus is made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by the applicable Selling Stockholder specifically for use therein; it
being understood that the only such information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in a Registration
Statement or the Prospectus is that information described in Section 8(b) of
this Agreement.
(b) Promptly after receipt by the QIU under subsection (a) above of
notice of the commencement of any action, the QIU shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Company or any Selling Stockholder under such
subsection, notify the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be,
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
Company or any Selling Stockholder shall not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to the QIU otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against the QIU and it shall notify the Company or any
Selling Stockholder of the commencement thereof, the Company or the Selling
Stockholder shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that
they shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the QIU (who shall
not, except with the consent of the QIU, be counsel to the Company or any
Selling Stockholder), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the QIU
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to the QIU under such subsection for any legal expenses of other
counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by the QIU, in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not, without the
written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise
of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or
threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the QIU is an actual or potential party
to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the QIU from all liability arising out of
such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the QIU.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 18 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., in its
capacity as QIU, under subsection (a) above in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then
the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the QIU as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on
the one hand and the QIU on the other from the offering of the Offered
Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the Company and the Selling
Stockholders shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by the QIU in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand
and the QIU on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand
and the QIU on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the
total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company and the Selling Stockholders, as set forth in the table on the cover
page of the Prospectus, bear to the fee payable to the QIU pursuant to Section
10 hereof. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the QIU
on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company,
the Selling Stockholders and
34
the QIU agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant
to this subsection (c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above in this subsection (c). The amount paid or payable by the QIU
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to above in this subsection (c) shall be deemed to include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection (c), no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute pursuant
to this subsection (c) and Section 8 an aggregate amount in excess of the amount
by which the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and
commissions but before expenses to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of
Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder exceeds the amount
of any damages which such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.
(d) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under
this Section 18 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the
Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the QIU within the meaning
of the Act; subject, however, to any limitations contained herein or therein.

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF OPINION OF ROPES & GRAY LLP
1. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of the Putnam Selling Stockholders.
2. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the sale
of the Firm Securities by the Putnam Selling Stockholders (a) will not violate
any provision of Massachusetts, New York or federal law, or any order or decree
known to such counsel of any court or government agency or body specifically
naming any Putnam Selling Stockholder (except that such counsel need express no
opinion as to federal or state securities or "blue sky" laws, including the
antifraud provisions of federal and state securities laws) and (b) will not
violate the provisions of the agreement and declaration of trust or bylaws of
any of the Putnam Selling Stockholders.
3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any
Massachusetts, New York or United States governmental authority is required to
be obtained by any Putnam Selling Stockholder in connection with the execution
and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement or for the sale of the Firm
Securities by such Putnam Selling Stockholder, except such as may be required
under federal or state securities laws or "blue sky" laws (as to which such
counsel need express no opinion).
4. Upon payment by the Underwriters of the purchase price for the Firm
Securities to be sold by the Putnam Selling Stockholders in accordance with the
Underwriting Agreement, delivery in the State of New York of security
certificates for the Firm Securities, as directed by the Underwriters, endorsed
to Cede & Co. or such other nominee as may be designated by DTC, or in blank, by
an effective indorsement, registration of transfer of the Firm Securities in the
stock registry of the Company in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee
and the crediting of the Firm Securities on the books of DTC to securities
accounts of the Underwriters, and assuming that neither DTC nor any such
Underwriter has notice of any adverse claim to the Firm Securities within the
meaning of Section 8 105 of the UCC, (a) DTC will be a "protected purchaser" of
the Securities within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC, (b) under Section
8 501 of the UCC, the Underwriters will acquire a security entitlement in
respect of the Firm Securities and (c) no action based on an "adverse claim" (as
defined in Section 8 102 of the UCC) to the Firm Securities, whether framed in
conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be
successfully asserted against the Underwriters with respect to the Firm
Securities.
With respect to the opinion of such counsel set forth in paragraph 4
above, such counsel may assume that DTC is a "clearing corporation" within the
meaning of Section 8 102 of the UCC and that DTC's jurisdiction for purposes of
Section 8-110 of the UCC is the State of New York.
