5. AGREEMENTS. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement, if not effective at the Execution Time, and any amendment
thereto, to become effective. Prior to the termination of the offering of
the Shares, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Basic Prospectus (including the Final
Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus) unless the Company has
furnished to you a copy for your prompt review prior to filing and will not
file any such proposed amendment
10
or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing
sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed,
and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the
applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and
will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives of
such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives
(i) when the Registration Statement, if not effective at the Execution
Time, and any amendment thereto, shall have become effective, (ii) when the
Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (iii) when, prior to termination of
the offering of the Shares, any amendment to the Registration Statement
shall have been filed or become effective, (iv) of any request by the
Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to
the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (v) of the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose and (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale
in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as
possible the withdrawal thereof.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of
which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any 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 shall be necessary to amend
the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply
with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the
Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the
second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or
supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such
compliance.
(c) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available
to its security holders and to the Representatives an earning statement or
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.
(d) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for
the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement
(including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an
Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of any
Preliminary Final Prospectus and, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date of this Agreement and
from time to time, copies of the Final Prospectus and any supplement
thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will
pay the expenses of printing any Agreement Among Underwriters, this
Agreement, the Blue Sky Memorandum and any other documents in connection
with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares. For the
purposes of this Section 4, "New York Business Day" shall mean each Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking
institutions in New York are generally authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.

such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws
other than the laws of the jurisdiction in which such counsel practices, to

with or result in a breach or violation of any terms or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, any statute, indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, loan agreement or other material agreement or instrument
known to such counsel to which such Selling Stockholder is a party or

of Incorporation, By-laws, governing trust indenture or other
governing instrument, as the case may be, of such Selling Stockholder
or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over such Selling

(g)___________, special U.S. counsel to the Selling Stockholders,
shall have furnished to you their written opinion, dated the Time of
Delivery, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to you, to the
effect that:
(i) Immediately prior to the Time of Delivery, such Selling
Stockholder had good and valid title to the Shares to be sold at the

such counsel shall state that they believe that both you and they are
justified in relying upon such certificate;

Selling Stockholders, respectively, herein at and as of the Time of
Delivery as to the performance by the Company and the Selling Stockholders
of all of their respective obligations hereunder to be performed at or
prior to the Time of Delivery and as to such other matters as you may
reasonably request and the Company shall have furnished or caused to be
furnished a certificate to the effect that the signers of such certificate
have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus,
any supplement to the Final Prospectus and this Agreement and that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of
the Time of Delivery with the same effect as if made on the Time of
Delivery and the Company has complied with all the agreements and
satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied
at or prior to the Time of Delivery;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose have been instituted or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened; and
(iii) since the date of the most recent audited financial
statements included in the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change in the
condition (financial or other), earnings, business or properties of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not
arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except
as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Prospectus (exclusive of
any supplement thereto).
(k) At the Time of Delivery, Price Waterhouse LLP shall have
furnished to the Underwriters a letter or letters (which may refer to
letters previously delivered to one or more of the Representatives), dated
as of the Time of Delivery, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants within
the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable
published rules and regulations thereunder and stating in effect that:
(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and
schedules included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and
the Final Prospectus and reported on by them comply in form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and
regulations;
(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial
statements made available by the Company and its subsidiaries;
carrying out certain specified
19
procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards) which could not necessarily reveal
matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such
letter, a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders,
directors and executive and audit committees of the Company and its
subsidiaries; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who
have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the
Company and its subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent
to the date of the most recent audited financial statements in or
incorporated in the Final Prospectus, nothing came to their attention
which caused them to believe that:
(1) any unaudited financial statements included or
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus do not comply in form in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules
and regulations of the Commission with respect to financial
statements included or incorporated in quarterly reports on Form
10-Q under the Exchange Act; and said unaudited financial
statements are not in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent
with that of the audited financial statements included or
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus;
(2) with respect to the period subsequent to the date of the
most recent financial statements (other than any capsule
information), audited or unaudited, in or incorporated in the
Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, there were any
changes, at a specified date not more than five business days
prior to the date of the letter, in the consolidated capital
stock (other than issuances of capital stock upon exercise of
options and stock appreciation rights, upon earn-outs of
performance shares and upon conversions of convertible
securities, in each case which were outstanding on the date of
the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in
the Final Prospectus) or any increase in the consolidated
long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, or any
decreases in consolidated net current assets or net assets as
compared with the amounts shown on the most recent consolidated
balance sheet included or incorporated in the Registration
Statement and the Final Prospectus, or for the period from the
date of the most recent financial statements included or
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final
Prospectus to such specified date there were any decreases, as
compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year in
consolidated net revenues, operating income, net income or
earnings per share, except in all instances for changes or
decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter
shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the
significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed
necessary by the Representatives; or
(3) the amounts included in any unaudited "capsule"
information included or incorporated in the Registration
Statement and the Final Prospectus do not agree with the amounts
set forth in the unaudited financial
20
statements for the same periods or were not determined on a basis
substantially consistent with that of the corresponding amounts
in the audited financial statements included or incorporated in
the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus.
(iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as
a result of which they determined that certain information of an
accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to
accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the
general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries which
is subject to the Company's system of internal accounting controls)
set forth in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus,
including the information included or incorporated in Items 6, 7 and
11 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, incorporated in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and the information
included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" included or incorporated in the
Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, incorporated in the
Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, agrees with the
accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding any
questions of legal interpretation; and
(iv) if pro forma financial statements are included or
incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus,
on the basis of a reading of the unaudited pro forma financial
statements, carrying out certain specified procedures, inquiries of
certain officials of the Company and the acquired company who have
responsibility for financial and accounting matters, and proving the
arithmetic accuracy of the application of the pro forma adjustments to
the historical amounts in the pro forma financial statements, nothing
came to their attention which caused them to believe that the pro
forma financial statements do not comply in form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of
Regulation S-X or that the pro forma adjustments have not been
properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of such
statements.
References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (j) include any
supplement thereto at the date of the letter.
In addition, except as provided in Schedule I hereto, at the Execution
Time, Price Waterhouse LLP shall have furnished to the Representatives a
letter or letters, dated as of the Execution Time, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect set forth above.
(l) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of
which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any
amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement
thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in
the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (k) of this Section 6 or
(ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or
affecting the business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause
(i) or (ii) above, is, in the reasonable judgment of the
21
Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as
contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment
thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).
(m) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any
decrease in the rating of any of the Company's debt securities by any
"nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for
purpose of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended
or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any
such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.
(n) Prior to the Time of Delivery, the Company and the Selling
Stockholders shall have furnished to the Representatives such further
information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may
reasonably request.
(o) On or after the date hereof there shall not have occurred any of
the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a suspension or
material limitation in trading in the Company's securities on the New York
Stock Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities
in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; or
(iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States
or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, if
the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv) is in your
reasonable judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the
Shares being delivered at the Time of Delivery on the terms and in the
manner contemplated by the Prospectus.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement,
or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this
Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at,
or at any time prior to, the Time of Delivery by the Representatives. Notice of
such cancellation shall be given to the Company and the Selling Stockholders in
writing or by telephone or telegraph confirmed in writing.
7. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. If the sale of the Shares
provided for herein is not consummated by reason of any failure on the part of
the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any covenant or agreement or
satisfy any condition of this Agreement to be performed or satisfied by it or
any Selling Stockholder, the sole liability of the Company to each of the
Underwriters, in addition to the obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections
5(d) and 8, will be for the Company to reimburse the Underwriters for all
out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making
preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered.
Otherwise, if this Agreement shall be terminated, the Company shall not then be
under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 5(d) and 8
hereof. If this Agreement shall
22
be terminated as provided herein, the Selling Stockholders shall not have any
liability to the Underwriters except as provided in Section 8 hereof.
8. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees
and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any
of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of
the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic
Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for inclusion therein; and, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Company
will not be liable to any Underwriter with respect to any loss, claim, damage or
liability arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the
Preliminary Final Prospectus which is corrected in the Final Prospectus if the
person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased Shares from
such Underwriter but was not sent or given a copy of the Final Prospectus at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Shares to such person.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company
may otherwise have.
(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders, severally in proportion to the
number of Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder, and not jointly, agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers,
employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they
or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other
Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the
registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or
in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final
Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, 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 the registration statement for the registration of the Shares as
originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, any
Preliminary
23
Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein,
and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that such Selling Stockholder will not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through
the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein; and, PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that such Selling Stockholder will not be liable to any Underwriter with respect
to any loss, claim, damage or liability arising out of or based on any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact in the Preliminary Final Prospectus which is corrected in the
Final Prospectus if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or
liability purchased Shares from such Underwriter but was not sent or given a
copy of the Final Prospectus at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale
of such Shares to such person. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have.
(c) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and each Selling Stockholder, and each of their respective directors
and officers and each person who controls the Company or such Selling
Stockholder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the
same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company or such Selling
Stockholder, as the case may be, to each Underwriter, but only with reference to
written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for
inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter
may otherwise have.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection
(a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. 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 reasonably 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 conducted by
the Underwriters at the request of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, an indemnifying party will not be liable for any
settlement of any claim or action effected without its prior written consent.
24
(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or
(c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party for any reason, then each indemnifying party agrees to
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending same) (collectively "Losses") to which an indemnified party may be
subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and by the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason or
if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d)
above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute 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 of the
Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
Benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand
shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses), and benefits received by the Underwriters on the other hand
shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions,
in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative
fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement
or omission relates to information provided by the Company or the Selling
Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission and the failure of an indemnified party to
give notice under subsection (d) above (to the extent such failure is
prejudicial to an indemnifying party). The Company, each of the Selling
Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Shares 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. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an
Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each
director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the
Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of either the Act or the
Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or any Selling Stockholder who shall
have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company or any
Selling Stockholder shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or
any Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).
9. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall
fail at a Time of Delivery to purchase and pay for any of the Shares agreed to
be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to
purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated
severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount
of Shares set forth
25
opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of
Shares set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the
Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the aggregate amount of
Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Shares set forth in
Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase
all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Shares, and
if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Shares, this
Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the
Company or any Selling Stockholder. In the event of a default by any
Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Time of Delivery shall be
postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives
shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement
and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be
effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company, any Selling Stockholder
and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default
hereunder.
10. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company, the Selling Stockholders or their respective officers and of the
Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers,
directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. The provisions of Sections 7
and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
11. NOTICES. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of
each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and
rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any
Underwriter made or given by you jointly or by Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. on behalf of
you as the Representatives; and in all dealings with any Selling Stockholder
hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any
statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder
made or given by any or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling
Stockholder.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the Underwriters in care of Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co.,

transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration
Statement, Attention: Legal Department; provided, however, that any notice to an
Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail,
telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in
its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which
address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxx & Co. upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements
shall take effect upon receipt thereof.
26
12. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure
solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling
Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof, the officers and
directors and each person who controls the Company, any Selling Stockholder or
any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right
under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from
any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such
purchase.
13. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
14. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties
hereto 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
instrument.
27
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to us the eight counterparts hereof, whereupon
this letter and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement among the
Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters.
Very truly yours,
