Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities
Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
(h) While any of the Securities remain "restricted securities"
within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, to make
available, upon request, to any seller of such Securities the information
specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, unless the Company
is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(i) Not to, and to cause its Affiliates or any person acting on
its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers) not to, engage in
any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in Regulation S)
with respect to the Securities, and the Company and its Affiliates and
each person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial
Purchasers) will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of
Regulation S.
(j) During the period of two years after the Closing Date, the
Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to resell any of the Securities which
constitute "restricted securities" under Rule 144 that have been
reacquired by any of them.
7. Offering of Securities; Restrictions on Transfer. (a) Each Initial
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that such Initial
Purchaser is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act (a "QIB"). Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly,
agrees with the Company that (i) it will not solicit offers for, or offer or
sell, such Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or in any
manner
15
involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and (ii) it will solicit offers for such Securities only from, and will
offer such Securities only to, persons that it reasonably believes to be (A) in
the case of offers inside the United States, QIBs and (B) in the case of offers
outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons ("FOREIGN
PURCHASERS," which term shall include dealers or other professional fiduciaries
in the United States acting on a discretionary basis for foreign beneficial
owners (other than an estate or trust)) in reliance upon Regulation S under the
Securities Act that, in each case, in purchasing such Securities are deemed to
have represented and agreed as provided in the Final Memorandum under the
caption "Transfer Restrictions".
(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents,
warrants, and agrees with respect to offers and sales outside the United States
that:
(i) such Initial Purchaser understands that no action has been or
will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Company that would permit a
public offering of the Securities, or possession or distribution of either
Memorandum or any other offering or publicity material relating to the
Securities, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose
is required;
(ii) such Initial Purchaser will comply with all applicable laws
and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells
or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes either
Memorandum or any such other material, in all cases at its own expense;
(iii) the Securities have not been registered under the Securities
Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for
the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Rule
144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act or pursuant to another
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;
(iv) such Initial Purchaser has offered the Securities and will
offer and sell the Securities (A) as part of their distribution at any
time and (B) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement
of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of
Regulation S or as otherwise permitted in Section 7(a); accordingly,
neither such Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates nor any persons acting on
its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any directed selling
efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the
Securities, and any such Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates and any such
persons have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions
requirement of Regulation S;
16
(v) such Initial Purchaser has (A) not offered or sold and, prior
to the date six months after the Closing Date, will not offer or sell any
Securities to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose
ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or
disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will
not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the
meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (B) complied
and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") with respect to anything done by it in
relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United
Kingdom, and (C) has only communicated or caused to be communicated and
will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or
inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section
21 of FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the
Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of FSMA does not apply
to the Company;
(vi) such Initial Purchaser understands that the Securities have
not been and will not be registered under the Securities and Exchange Law
of Japan, and represents that it has not offered or sold, and agrees not
to offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Securities in Japan or for
the account of any resident thereof except pursuant to any exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law of Japan
and otherwise in compliance with applicable provisions of Japanese law;
and
(vii) such Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to
confirmation of sales of the Securities, it will have sent to each
distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other
remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the restricted
period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:
"The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may not be offered
and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of,
U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii)
otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the
offering and the closing date, except in either case in accordance with
Regulation S (or Rule 144A if available) under the Securities Act. Terms
used above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S."
Terms used in this Section 7(b) have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.
17
8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Initial Purchaser may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in either Memorandum or any other prospectus (including any
preliminary prospectus) relating to the Securities, 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 such
Initial Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall 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
or omission or alleged omission made in either Memorandum or any other
prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus) relating to the Securities, or
in any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser
expressly for use in either Memorandum as amended or supplemented; provided,
however, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Memorandum
or preliminary prospectus, including any amendment or supplement thereto, shall
not inure to the benefit of any Initial Purchaser from whom the person asserting
any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities, or any
person controlling such Initial Purchaser, if a copy of the Final Memorandum (as
then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments
or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Initial
Purchaser to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Securities to such person,
and if the Final Memorandum (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the
defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the
Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in either Memorandum or any
other prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus) relating to the
Securities, 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent,
18
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in either Memorandum or any other prospectus
(including any preliminary prospectus) relating to the Securities, or any
such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial
Purchaser expressly for use in either Memorandum as amended or
supplemented; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred.
(c) As promptly as reasonably practical after receipt by an
indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (b) 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 of its obligations (i) under paragraph (a) or (b), as
applicable, of this Section 8 unless and only to the extent that the
indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to notify, or
(ii) from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under such applicable 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, and retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others
the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any
such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such
counsel or (2) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the
written opinion of legal counsel to the indemnified party, be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the
legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding
or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and
expenses shall be
19
reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing
by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated or, if Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated is not an indemnified party and is not reasonably likely to
become an indemnified party, by the Initial Purchasers that are
indemnified parties, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to
paragraph (a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. No indemnifying party shall,
without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not
the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or
claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (I) includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising
out of such action or claim and (II) does not include a statement as to,
or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on
behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and each Initial Purchaser on the other from the offering of
the Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action
in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then
each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and each Initial Purchaser on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and each Initial Purchaser on the other shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
sale of Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
bear to the total commissions and discounts received by such Initial
Purchaser in respect thereof. 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 required to
20
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand
or by any Initial Purchaser on the other and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The Company and each Initial Purchaser agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if all Initial
Purchasers 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 above in this subsection (d). The amount paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above
in 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 such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (d), an Initial Purchaser shall not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Securities referred to in paragraph (d) above
that were offered and sold to the public through such Initial Purchaser
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 Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of each of the
Initial Purchasers under this subsection (d) to contribute are several in
proportion to the respective purchases made by or through each such
Initial Purchaser to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or
action in respect thereof) relates and are not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any,
who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and the obligations of
each Initial Purchaser under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any
liability which such Initial Purchaser may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director
of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act.
9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the
Initial Purchasers' absolute discretion, by written notice to the Company, if
(a)
21
after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date
(i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by,
as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ii) trading
of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in
any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York
State authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation
of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis
that, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, is material and adverse and (b)
in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iv), such
event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment
of the Initial Purchasers, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms
and in the manner contemplated in the Final Memorandum.
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchasers. This Agreement shall
become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall
fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase
hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which
such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or
refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount
of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall
be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of
Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the
aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all
such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as you may
specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or
Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date;
provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any
Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased
pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such
principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial
Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers
shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it or they have agreed to
purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities
with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the
aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and
arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such
Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser
or of the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the
right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days,
in order that the required changes, if any, in the Final
22
Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action
taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser
from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this
Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchasers, or any of
them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply
with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for
any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers or such Initial
Purchasers as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves,
severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements
of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchasers in connection
with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Law.
13. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
14. Section References. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this
Agreement to sections are to the sections of this Agreement.
15. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the construction hereof.
16. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by
any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial Purchasers shall
be directed to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
