2. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Selling
Shareholders. (a) The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the
several Underwriters and the Selling Shareholders that:
(i) A registration statement (No. 333-117233) relating to the
Offered Securities, including a form of prospectus, has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("COMMISSION") and either (A) has
been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 ("ACT") and is
not proposed to be amended or (B) is proposed to be amended by amendment
or post-effective amendment. If such registration statement (the "INITIAL
REGISTRATION STATEMENT") has been declared effective, either (A) an
additional registration statement (the "ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION
STATEMENT") relating to the Offered Securities may have been filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) ("RULE 462(b)") under the Act and,
if so filed, has become effective upon filing pursuant to such Rule and
the Offered Securities all have been duly registered under the Act
pursuant to the initial registration statement and, if applicable, the
additional registration statement or (B) such an additional registration
statement is proposed to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
462(b) and will become effective upon filing pursuant to such Rule and
upon such filing the Offered Securities will all have been duly registered
under the Act pursuant to the initial registration statement and such
additional registration statement. If the Company does not propose to
amend the initial registration statement or if an additional registration
statement has been filed and the Company does not propose to amend it, and
if any post-effective amendment to either such registration statement has
been filed with the Commission prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the most recent amendment (if any) to each such registration
statement has been declared effective by the Commission or has become
effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) ("RULE 462(c)") under the
Act or, in the case of the
additional registration statement, Rule 462(b). For purposes of this
Agreement, "EFFECTIVE TIME" with respect to the initial registration
statement or, if filed prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the additional registration statement means (A) if the Company
has advised the Representative that it does not propose to amend such
registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration

filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, was declared
effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Rule 462(c), or (B) if the Company has advised the Representative that
it proposes to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to such
registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration
statement, as amended by such amendment or post-effective amendment, as
the case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. If an additional
registration statement has not been filed prior to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement but the Company has advised the Representative
that it proposes to file one, "EFFECTIVE TIME" with respect to such
additional registration statement means the date and time as of which such
registration statement is filed and becomes effective pursuant to Rule
462(b). "EFFECTIVE DATE" with respect to the initial registration
statement or the additional registration statement (if any) means the date

registration statement pursuant to the General Instructions of the Form on

registration statement, as amended at its Effective Time, including the
contents of the initial registration statement incorporated by reference

additional registration statement as of its Effective Time pursuant to
Rule 430A(b), is hereinafter referred to as the "ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities. On the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the
terms and conditions herein set forth, each Selling Shareholder agrees,
severally and not jointly, to sell to the Underwriters, and each Underwriter
agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from each Selling Shareholder, at
a purchase price of $ per share, that number of Firm Securities (rounded up
or down, as determined by Credit Suisse First Boston LLC ("CSFB") in its
discretion, in order to avoid fractions) obtained by multiplying the number of
Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Selling Shareholder in
Schedule A hereto by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Firm
Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule B hereto
and the denominator of which is the total number of Firm Securities.
Certificates in negotiable form for the Offered Securities have been
placed in custody, for delivery under this Agreement, under Custody Agreements
made with Mellon Investor Services LLC, as custodian ("CUSTODIAN"). Each Selling
Shareholder agrees that the shares represented by the certificates held in
custody for the Selling Shareholders under such Custody Agreements are subject
to the interests of the Underwriters hereunder, that the arrangements made by
the Selling Shareholders for such custody are to that extent irrevocable, and
that the obligations of the Selling Shareholders hereunder shall not be
terminated by operation of law, whether by the death of any individual Selling
Shareholder or the occurrence of any other event, or in the case of a trust, by
the death of any trustee or trustees or the termination of such trust. If any
individual Selling Shareholder or any such trustee or trustees should die, or if
any other such event should occur, or if any of such trusts should terminate,
before the delivery of the Offered Securities hereunder, certificates for the
Offered Securities shall be delivered by the Custodian in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such death or other event or
termination had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Custodian shall
have received notice of such death or other event or termination.
The Custodian will deliver the Firm Securities to the Representative for
the accounts of the Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price in
Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an
account at a bank acceptable to CSFB drawn to the order of at the office
of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, at A.M., New York time, on , or
at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as CSFB
and the Custodian determine, such time being herein referred to as the "FIRST
CLOSING DATE". The certificates for the Firm Securities so to be delivered will
be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as
CSFB requests and will be made
6
available for checking and packaging at the office of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx
LLP at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.
In addition, upon written notice from CSFB given to the Company and the
Selling Shareholders from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the
date of the Prospectus, the Underwriters may purchase all or less than all of
the Optional Securities at the purchase price per share to be paid for the Firm
Securities. The Selling Shareholders agree, severally and not jointly, to sell
to the Underwriters the respective numbers of Optional Securities obtained by
multiplying the number of Optional Securities specified in such notice by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares set forth opposite the
names of such Selling Shareholders in Schedule A hereto under the caption
"Number of Optional Securities to be Sold" and the denominator of which is the
total number of Optional Securities (subject to adjustment by CSFB to eliminate
fractions). Such Optional Securities shall be purchased from each Selling
Shareholder for the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the
number of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name bears to
the total number of Firm Securities (subject to adjustment by CSFB to eliminate
fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of
covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm
Securities. No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm
Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The
right to purchase the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be
exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be
surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by CSFB to the Selling
Shareholders.
Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities,
being herein referred to as an "OPTIONAL CLOSING DATE", which may be the First
Closing Date (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any,
being sometimes referred to as a "CLOSING DATE"), shall be determined by CSFB
but shall be not later than five full business days after written notice of
election to purchase Optional Securities is given. The Custodian will deliver
the Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date to the
Representative for the accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment of
the purchase price in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks
or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to CSFB drawn to the order
of , at the office of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP. The certificates for
the Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date will be in
definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as CSFB
requests upon reasonable notice prior to such Optional Closing Date and will be
made available for checking and packaging at the office of Cravath, Swaine &
Xxxxx LLP at a reasonable time in advance of such Optional Closing Date.

First Closing Date and the Optional Securities to be purchased on each Optional
Closing Date will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties on the part of the Company and the Selling Shareholders herein, to
the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the
provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Selling
Shareholders of their obligations hereunder and to the following additional
conditions precedent:
(a) The Representative shall have received a letter, dated the date
of delivery thereof (which, if the Effective Time of the Initial
Registration Statement is prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, shall be on or prior to the date of this Agreement or, if the
Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is subsequent to the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be prior to the filing of
the amendment or post-effective amendment to the registration statement to
be filed shortly prior to such Effective Time), of Deloitte & Touche LLP
confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning
of the Act and the applicable published Rules and Regulations thereunder
and stating to the effect that:
(i) in their opinion the financial statements and schedules
examined by them and included in the Registration Statements comply
as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the Act and the related published Rules and
Regulations;
(ii) they have performed the procedures specified by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for a review of
interim financial information as described in Statement of Auditing
Standards No. 100, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited
financial statements included in the Registration Statements;
(iii) on the basis of the review referred to in clause (ii)
above, a reading of the latest available interim financial
statements of the Company, inquiries of officials of the Company who
have responsibility for financial and accounting matters and other
specified procedures, nothing came to their attention that caused
them to believe that:
(A) the unaudited financial statements included in the
Registration Statements do not comply as to form in all
material respects with the applicable accounting requirements
of the Act and the related published Rules and Regulations or
any material modifications should be made to such unaudited
financial statements for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles;
9
(B) the unaudited consolidated revenues, net sales,
operating income, net income and net income per share amounts
for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004
included in the Prospectus do not agree with the amounts set
forth in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for
those same periods or were not determined on a basis
substantially consistent with that of the corresponding
amounts in the audited statements of income;
(C) at the date of the latest available balance sheet
read by such accountants, or at a subsequent specified date
not more than three business days prior to the date of such
letter, there was any change in the capital stock or any
increase in short-term indebtedness or long-term debt of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or, at the date of
the latest available balance sheet read by such accountants,
there was any decrease in consolidated net current assets or
assets, as compared with amounts shown on the latest balance
sheet included in the Prospectus; or
(D) for the period from the closing date of the latest
income statement included in the Prospectus to the closing
date of the latest available income statement read by such
accountants there were any decreases, as compared with the
corresponding period of the previous year in consolidated net
sales or net operating income in the total or per share
amounts of consolidated income before extraordinary items or
net income;
except in all cases set forth in clauses (C) and (D) above for
changes, increases or decreases which the Prospectus discloses have
occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter; and
(iv) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or
percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial
information contained in the Registration Statements (in each case
to the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other
financial information are derived from the general accounting
records of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to the internal
controls of the Company's accounting system or are derived directly
from such records by analysis or computation) with the results
obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting
records and other procedures specified in such letter and have found
such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial information to
be in agreement with such results, except as otherwise specified in
such letter.
For purposes of this subsection, (i) if the Effective Time of the Initial
Registration Statement is subsequent to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, "REGISTRATION STATEMENTS" shall mean the initial registration
statement as proposed to be amended by the amendment or post-effective

(if any) is not prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
such Effective Time shall have occurred not later than
10
10:00 P.M., New York time, on the date of this Agreement or, if earlier,
the time the Prospectus is printed and distributed to any Underwriter, or
shall have occurred at such later date as shall have been consented to by
CSFB. If the Effective Time of the Initial Registration Statement is prior
to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Prospectus shall have
been filed with the Commission in accordance with the Rules and
Regulations and Section 5(a) of this Agreement. Prior to such Closing
Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall
have been instituted or, to the knowledge of any Selling Shareholder, the
Company or the Representative, shall be contemplated by the Commission.
(c) 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 other),
business, properties or results of operations of the Company or its
subsidiaries which, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the
Underwriters including the Representative, is material and adverse and
makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the
public offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities;

by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined
for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act), or any public announcement

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 as would, in the judgment of a
majority in interest of the Underwriters including the Representative, be
likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or
distribution of the Offered Securities, whether in the primary market or
in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material
suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on
the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading

Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (vi) any

any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in
the United States 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 a majority in interest of the
Underwriters including the Representative, the effect of any such attack,
outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it
impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public
offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities.

a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, as of its issue date or as of such Closing Date, contained
any untrue statement of a
12
material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; the
descriptions in the Registration Statements and Prospectus of
statutes, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other
documents, in so far as such descriptions purport to constitute a
summary of such statutes, legal or governmental proceedings,

Registration Statements, the Prospectus and other related matters as the
Representative may require, and the Selling Shareholders and the Company

request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. In
rendering such opinion, Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP may rely as to the
incorporation of the Company and all other matters governed by
Pennsylvania law upon the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Ingersoll,
LLP referred to above.

prior to the time the Prospectus was printed and distributed to any
underwriter; and, subsequent to the dates of the most recent financial
statements in the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change,
nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse

results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole
except as set forth in the Prospectus or as described in such certificate.

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors and officers
and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act, and each Selling Shareholder, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or Selling
Shareholders may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter or Selling
Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter or Selling Shareholder in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged
omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by (i) 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 (c) below or (ii) any Selling
Shareholder specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that
the only such information furnished by any Selling Shareholder consists of the
information described as such in subsection (b) below; provided further,
however, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact
made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom a
person has purchased Offered Securities and such person is asserting a loss,
claim, damage or liability against such Underwriter and such loss, claim, damage
or liability has been incurred by such person under circumstances where it shall
have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment that (i) the Company had previously furnished the
requisite quantities of copies of the Prospectus on a timely basis to the
Underwriters, (ii) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained
in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus and (iii) such
Underwriters shall have failed to use reasonable efforts to send to such person,
at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Offered Securities
to such person, a copy of the Prospectus.
(b) The Selling Shareholders, severally, will indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors and officers and each person,
if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act, and the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as
such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Selling Shareholders
shall only 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 a Selling Shareholder specifically for use therein, it being
understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Selling
Shareholder consists of the information in the Prospectus set forth on Schedule
F.
(c) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, and the
Selling Shareholders against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
the Company or any Selling Shareholder may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, or any
15
amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representative
specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company and each Selling Shareholder in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the
only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following
information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the
information appearing in the first, fourth, ninth and eleventh paragraphs under
the caption "Underwriting".
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c)
above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided
further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
indemnified party (evidence of such satisfaction to be provided in writing by
the indemnified 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.
If, pursuant to this subsection (d), the indemnifying party has assumed the
defense of a proceeding against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of such proceeding effected by any
indemnified party without its written consent.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or
insufficient, although applicable in accordance with its terms, to hold harmless
an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the
offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Company and the Selling Shareholders 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 Selling
Shareholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company, the Selling Shareholders or the
Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall
16
be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or
claim which is the subject of this subsection (e), subject to the limitations
set forth in subsection (d), 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 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 guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in
proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholders under this
Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling
Shareholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and
conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section
shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may
otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each
director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed a
Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act.
8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in
their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First
or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered
Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities
that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, CSFB may
make arrangements satisfactory to the Selling Shareholders for the purchase of
such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but
if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective
commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any
Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of
Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds
10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters
are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to
CSFB and the Selling Shareholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by
other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter,
the Company or the Selling Shareholders, except as provided in Section 9
(provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after
the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm
Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As
used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted
for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective
indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the
Selling Shareholders, of the Company or its officers and of the several
Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the
results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Selling
Shareholder, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the
Underwriters is not consummated, the Selling Shareholders shall remain
responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to
Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling
Shareholders, and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect,
and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations
and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also
