Exhibit 1.1
Xxxxxxxx 66
Debt Securities
fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Xxxxxxxx 66 Company
1. Introductory. Xxxxxxxx 66, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, a Delaware corporation (“Xxxxxxxx 66 Company” or the “Guarantor”), propose that the Parent will issue and sell from time to time certain of its unsecured debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) that will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Xxxxxxxx 66 Company (the Debt Securities, including the guarantee relating thereto by the Guarantor (the “Guarantee”), being hereinafter called the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued under an indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Indenture”), among the Parent, the Guarantor and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), in one or more series, which series may vary as to interest rates, maturities, redemption provisions, selling prices and other terms, with all such terms for any particular series of the Securities being determined at the time of sale. Particular series of the Securities will be sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, for resale in accordance with terms of offering determined at the time of sale.
The Securities involved in any such offering are hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Securities”. The firm or firms which agree to purchase the Offered Securities, as set forth in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 hereof, are hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Purchasers” (which term shall include any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser pursuant to Section 8 hereof) of such securities, and the representative or representatives of the Initial Purchasers, if any, specified in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 hereof are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives”; provided, however, that if the Terms Agreement does not specify any representative of the Initial Purchasers, the term “Representatives”, as used in this Agreement (other than in Sections 2(d) and 7 and the second sentence of Section 3), shall mean the Initial Purchasers.
The holders of the Offered Securities, including the Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees, will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Parent, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Parent and the Guarantor will be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) one or more registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) relating to additional series of debt securities of the Parent with terms substantially identical to each series of the Offered Securities (the “Registered Securities”) to be offered in exchange for the Offered Securities (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Offered Securities, and in each case, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective.
In each case in exchange for a new series of Securities (the “Exchange Securities”) issued in exchange for all or a portion of a previously issued series of Securities, having identical terms to the Securities exchanged, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture and the Final Offering Memorandum, (as defined below), the Parent may cause, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, (i) Xxxxxxxx 66 Company to issue Exchange Securities in exchange for Securities of the Parent, which Exchange Securities shall be guaranteed by the Parent, (ii) Xxxxxxxx 66 Project Development Inc. (“PDI”) to issue Exchange Securities in exchange for Exchange Securities of Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, which Exchange Securities shall be guaranteed by the Parent and Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, and (iii) Xxxxxxxx 66 Partners LP (“PSXP” and, along with Xxxxxxxx 66 Company and PDI, each an “Eligible Exchange Securities Issuer”) to issue Exchange Securities in exchange for Exchange Securities of PDI, which Exchange Securities shall be guaranteed by the Parent and Xxxxxxxx 66 Company.
The Parent understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agree that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Offered Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Disclosure Package (the first time when resales of the Securities are made, as set forth in any Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 entered into in connection with a specified offering of the Offered Securities, is referred to as the “Execution Time”). The Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell the Offered Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell the Offered Securities purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser. The Offered Securities are to be offered and sold to or by the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Commission under the Act in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Offered Securities and the Indenture, investors who acquire Offered Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Offered Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Act (“Regulation S”)).
In connection with each offering of Offered Securities, the Parent and the Guarantor will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser copies of a preliminary offering memorandum (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) and a pricing supplement (the “Pricing Supplement”) describing the terms of the Offered Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase or offering of the Offered Securities. “Disclosure Package” shall mean, with respect to any specific offering of the Offered Securities, (i) the Preliminary Offering Memorandum used most recently prior to the Execution Time and (ii) the Pricing Supplement identified in Schedule B to the Terms Agreement. Promptly after the Terms Agreement is executed and delivered, the Parent will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum dated the date of such Terms Agreement (the “Final Offering Memorandum”).

The Parent hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the other materials contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

None of the Parent, the Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates or any person acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Parent makes no representation or warranty) has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, in an offer to sell or in a solicitation of an offer to buy the Offered Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Act or in a manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Act.

The Offered Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A and will not be, at the Closing Date, of the same class as securities listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder) or quoted in any automated interdealer quotation system.
(d) Disclosure Package and Final Offering Memorandum. Neither the Disclosure Package, as of the Execution Time, nor the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or (as amended or supplemented in accordance with Section 4(a), as applicable) as of the Closing Date, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Parent or its subsidiaries in writing by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use in the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be, it being understood that the only such information consists of the information described in the Terms Agreement. The Disclosure Package contains, and the Final Offering Memorandum will contain, all the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act.

3. Purchase and Offering of Offered Securities. The obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase the Offered Securities will be evidenced by an agreement or exchange of other written communications (“Terms Agreement”) at the time the Parent determines to sell the Offered Securities.

(iii) on the basis of the review referred to in clause (ii) above, a reading of the latest available interim financial statements of the Parent, inquiries of officials of the Parent who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters and other specified procedures, nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that:

13
except in all cases set forth in clauses (C), (D) and (E) above for changes, increases or decreases which the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum discloses have occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter;
(iv) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial information contained in the Final Offering Memorandum and the Disclosure Package (in each case to the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information are derived from the general accounting records of the Parent and its subsidiaries subject to the internal controls of the Parent’s accounting system or are derived directly from such records by analysis or computation) with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting records and other procedures specified in such letter and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information to be in agreement with such results, except as otherwise specified in such letter; and

(ii) the Parent has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering

Such counsel shall also state that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Parent, representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Parent, representatives of the Initial Purchasers and counsel to the Initial Purchasers at which the contents of the Final Offering Memorandum and the Disclosure Package were discussed and, although such counsel did not independently verify such information and is not passing upon and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Final Offering Memorandum and the Disclosure Package, on the basis of the foregoing no facts came to such counsel’s attention that led such counsel to believe that the Final Offering Memorandum (other than the financial statements and schedules, the
18
notes thereto and the auditors’ report thereon, management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, if any, and the other financial, numerical, statistical and accounting data included or incorporated by reference therein, or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need not comment) as of its date or as of the Closing Date included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements and schedules, the notes thereto and the auditors’ report thereon, management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, if any, and the other financial, numerical, statistical and accounting data included or incorporated by reference therein, or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need not comment) as of the Execution Time included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

19
(i) The Parent will furnish the Representatives with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Representatives reasonably request. The Representatives may in their sole discretion waive on behalf of the Initial Purchasers compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this Agreement and the Terms Agreement.

6. Offer, Sale and Resale Procedures. Each of the Initial Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Guarantor, on the other hand, hereby agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities:
(a) Offers and sales of the Offered Securities will be made only by the Initial Purchasers or Affiliates thereof qualified to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made. Each such offer or sale shall only be made to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of Rule 144A) or non-U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes offers and sales of the Offered Securities may be made in reliance upon Regulation S upon the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule C to the Terms Agreement, which Schedule C is hereby expressly made a part hereof.
(b) The Offered Securities will be offered by approaching prospective Subsequent Purchasers on an individual basis. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities.
(c) Upon original issuance by the Parent, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Act, the Offered Securities (and all Exchange Securities and other securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Registered Securities) shall bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER XXXXXXX 0 XX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE
20
SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)(a) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT) PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT, (b) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A FOREIGN PERSON IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE ACT, (c) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF APPLICABLE) OR (d) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS), (2) TO THE COMPANY OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 FOR RESALE OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY.”
Following the resale of the Offered Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Parent or the Guarantor for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Parent or the Guarantor, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Offered Security.
21
7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser 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 the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Communication, the Final Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Initial Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Parent 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 Parent by any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in the Terms Agreement.
(b) Indemnity of the Parent and the Guarantor. Each Initial Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Parent and Xxxxxxxx 66 Company, their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Parent or Xxxxxxxx 66 Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Parent or Xxxxxxxx 66 Company 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 the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Communication, the Final Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 Parent by such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Parent or Xxxxxxxx 66 Company 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 Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in the Terms Agreement.
22
(c) Notice and Procedures. 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 the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify in writing the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under subsection (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the 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 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 will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. 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.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) 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) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Parent and the Guarantor, on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Offered 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 Parent and the Guarantor, on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 Parent and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 Parent bear to the total fees paid to (including any discounts and commissions received by) the Initial Purchasers. 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 Parent or the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
23
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 (d) 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 (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities purchased by it and distributed to the Subsequent Purchasers were offered to the Subsequent Purchasers exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser 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 Initial Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.
(e) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The obligations of the Parent under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Parent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the partners, directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Initial Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Parent or Xxxxxxxx 66 Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Parent or Xxxxxxxx 66 Company within the meaning of the Act.
(f) The Parent and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations in subsection (d) above.
8. Default of Initial Purchasers. If any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities under the Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this Agreement) and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Parent for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Initial Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments under the Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this Agreement), to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase. If any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers so default and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Parent for the purchase of such Offered
24
Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, the Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this Agreement) will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser and the Parent, except as provided in Section 9. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default.

For purposes of Sections 2 and 7 of the Purchase Agreement, the only information furnished to the Parent by the Representatives on behalf of any Initial Purchaser for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum consists of the following information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum furnished on behalf of each Initial Purchaser: the fifth and eighth paragraphs and the third sentence of the seventh paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum.
European Economic Area
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Initial Purchaser has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of Offered Securities which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:
(a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
3
(b) to fewer than 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives for any such offer; or

provided that no such offer of the Offered Securities shall require the Parent, the Guarantor or any Initial Purchaser to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of the Offered Securities to the public” in relation to any Offered Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered Securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Offered Securities , as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State and the expression. “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.
