(c) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time when a prospectus
relating to the Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be) required to
be delivered under the Act by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of
which the Final 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 Registration Statement or
supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify
the Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and
furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and the dealers and any other dealers upon
request of the Representative, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement
or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the
Representative’s 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
hereof.
9
(d) Rule 158. As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of
this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an
earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this
Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.
(e) Furnishing of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Representative copies
of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final
Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as
available and in such quantities as the Representative reasonably requests. The Company
will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.
(f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will arrange for the qualification of the
Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment
under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative designates and will
continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided
that the Company shall not be required to qualify to transact business or to take any
action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where
it is not currently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign
business.
(g) Reporting Requirements. For so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter
or dealer may be (or but for the exception in Rule 172 would be) required under the Act,
the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other
Underwriters, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its
annual report to stockholders for such year as is required to be filed by the Company with
the Commission; and the Company will furnish to the Representative (i) as soon as
available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed
with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (ii) from time to
time, such other information concerning the Company as the Representative may reasonably
request. However, so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of
either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with
the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system or any
successor system (“XXXXX”), it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the
Underwriters.
(h) Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to any
filing fees and other expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Underwriters) incurred in connection with qualification of the Securities for sale under
the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative designates pursuant to Section 5(f)
and the preparation and printing of memoranda relating thereto, any fees charged by
investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, costs and expenses relating to
investor presentations or any “road show” in connection with the offering and sale of the
Securities including, without limitation, any travel expenses of the Company’s officers and
employees and any other expenses of the Company, fees and expenses in connection with the
registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act, and expenses incurred in
distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Final 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. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section 5 and
Sections 8 and 10, the Underwriters will pay the fees of their counsel.
(i) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received in connection
with this offering in the manner described in the “Use of Proceeds” section of the General
Disclosure Package and, except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Company
does not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to
repay any outstanding debt owed to any affiliate of any Underwriter.
10
(j) Absence of Manipulation. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause
or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(k) Restriction on Sale of Securities. 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 United States dollar-denominated debt
securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a maturity of more than one year
from the date of issue, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale,
pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of the Representative for
a period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date.
6. Free Writing Prospectuses. (a) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents
and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, and each Underwriter
represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the
Representative, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the 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 Representative 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.
(b) Term Sheets. The Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the
Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Securities
and otherwise in a form consented to by the Representative, and will file such final term
sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) following the date such final terms
have been established for the offering of the Securities. Any such final term sheet is an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this
Agreement. The Company also consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing
prospectus that contains only (i)(x) information describing the preliminary terms of the
Securities or their offering or (y) information that describes the final terms of the
Securities or their offering and that is included in the final term sheet of the Company
contemplated in the first sentence of this subsection or (ii) other information that is not
“issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433, it being understood that any such free
writing prospectus referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall not be an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.
7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several
Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities on the Closing Date will be subject to the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein (as though made on the Closing
Date), to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions
hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following
additional conditions precedent:
(a) Accountants’ Comfort Letter. The Representative shall have received letters,
dated, respectively, the date hereof and the Closing Date, of Ernst & Young LLP, confirming
that they are a registered public accounting firm and independent public accountants within
the meaning of the Securities Laws and substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto
(except that, in any letter dated the Closing Date, the specified date referred to in
Exhibit A hereto shall be a date no more than three days prior to the Closing Date).
(b) Filing of Prospectus. The Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the
Commission in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and Section 5(a) hereof. No stop
order
11
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof
shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or,
to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter, shall be contemplated by the
Commission.
(c) No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event
involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
which, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it
impractical or inadvisable to market the Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of
any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)), or any public announcement that any
such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the
Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and
no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or
international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or
exchange controls the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the
Representative, impractical to market or to enforce contracts for the sale of the
Securities, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary
market; (iv) any suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on
the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum or maximum prices for trading on
such exchange; (v) or any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any
exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (vi) any banking moratorium declared by any
U.S. federal or New York authorities; (vii) any major disruption of settlements of
securities, payment, or clearance services in the United States or any other country where
such securities are listed or (viii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities
or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any
other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the
Representative, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration,
calamity or emergency is such as to make it impractical or inadvisable to market the
Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities.
(d) Opinion of Counsel for Company. The Representative shall have received an
opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxx LLP, counsel for
the Company, in the form of Exhibit B hereto.
(e) Opinion of Netherlands Counsel for Company. The Representative shall have
received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Houben Advocaten, Netherlands counsel for
the Company, in the form of Exhibit C hereto.
(f) Opinion of General Counsel of the Company. The Representative shall have received
an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxx, General Counsel of the Company, in
the form of Exhibit D hereto.
(g) Opinion of Counsel for Underwriters. The Representative shall have received
from Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions,
dated the Closing Date, with respect to such matters as the Representative may require, and
the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the
purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(h) Officer’s Certificate. The Representative shall have received a certificate,
dated the Closing Date, of an executive officer of the Company and a principal financial or
accounting officer of the Company in which such officers 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 satisfied all conditions on its part to be
performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has
12
been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to their
knowledge, are contemplated by the Commission; and, subsequent to the date of the most
recent financial statements in 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 otherwise), results of operations, business,
properties or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set
forth in the General Disclosure Package or as described in such certificate.
The Company will furnish the Representative with such conformed copies of such opinions,
certificates, letters and documents as the Representative reasonably requests. The Representative
may in its sole discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to
the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers,
employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”),
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state
statutory law or regulation 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 part of the Registration Statement, any
Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified
Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action,
litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a
party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this
provision with respect to any of the above 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 Representative
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 (b) below.
(b) Indemnification of Company. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs a
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”),
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may
become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation
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 part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the
Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission of 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 Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation,
investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a
party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission,
or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood
and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter
13
consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each
Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph under the
caption “Underwriting”, the second sentence in the sixth paragraph under the caption
“Underwriting”, and the information contained in the twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs under the
caption “Underwriting”.
(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. 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 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) or
(b) 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) 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 Company
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 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 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 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 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 (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 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. 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
14
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection
(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not
joint. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d).
9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations
to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not
exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to
purchase on the Closing Date, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no
such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated
severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities that
such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date. If any Underwriter
or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which
such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Securities that the
Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the
Representative and the Company for the purchase of such 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 or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. 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. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements 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, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
If the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than
solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof or the occurrence
of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(c) hereof, 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
Securities, and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section
8 hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Securities have been purchased hereunder, the
representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain
in effect.
11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the
Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representative at
Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD, or, if sent to the Company,
will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel; provided, however, that any notice to an
Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such
Underwriter.
12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons
referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
13. Representation of Underwriters. The Representative will act for the several Underwriters
in connection with this financing, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representative
will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
15
14. 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.
15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) No Other Relationship. The Representative has been retained solely to act as an
underwriter in connection with the sale of Securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship between the Company and the Representative has been created in respect of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the
Representative has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;
(b) Arms’ Length Negotiations. The price of the Securities set forth in this Agreement was
established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the
Representative and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and
accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(c) Absence of Obligation to Disclose. The Company has been advised that the Representative
and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that
differ from those of the Company and that the Representative has no obligation to disclose such
interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship; and
(d) Waiver. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may
have against the Representative for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty
and agrees that the Representative shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the
Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim
on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the
Company.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.
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. The Company irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in Federal and state
courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally
waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
16
If the foregoing is in accordance with the Representative’s understanding of our agreement,
kindly sign and return to the Company one of the counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a
binding agreement between the Company and the several Underwriters in accordance with its terms.
