Any certificate signed by any Selling Stockholder and delivered to the Representatives or
counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Stock shall be deemed a

3. Purchase of the Stock by the Underwriters. On the basis of the representations and
warranties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Company
agrees to sell • shares of the Firm Stock and each Selling Stockholder agrees to sell the number of
shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2 hereto, severally and
not jointly, to the several Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly,
agrees to purchase the number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite that Underwriter’s
name in Schedule 1 hereto. Each Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase from the
Company, and from each Selling Stockholder, that number of shares of the Firm Stock that represents
the same proportion of the number of shares of the Firm Stock to be sold by the Company and by each
Selling Stockholder as the number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite the name of such
Underwriter in Schedule 1 represents of the total number of shares of the Firm Stock to be
purchased by all of the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement. The respective purchase
obligations of the Underwriters with respect to the Firm Stock shall be rounded among the
Underwriters to avoid fractional shares, as the Representatives may determine.
In addition, the Company grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to • additional
shares of the Option Stock and each Selling Stockholder grants to the Underwriters an option to
purchase up to the number of shares of Option Stock set forth opposite such Selling Stockholder’s
name in Schedule 2 hereto, severally and not jointly. Such options are exercisable in the
event that the Underwriters sell more shares of Common Stock than the number of shares of the Firm
Stock in the offering and as set forth in Section 5 hereof. Any such election to purchase Option
Stock shall be made in proportion to the maximum number of shares of Option Stock to be sold by the
Company and each Selling Stockholder as set forth in Schedule 2 hereto. Each Underwriter
agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of shares of the
16
Option Stock (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the
Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of shares of the
Option Stock to be sold on such Delivery Date as the number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth
in Schedule 1 hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of
shares of the Firm Stock.
The price of both the Firm Stock and any Option Stock purchased by the Underwriters shall be
$• per share.
The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of the
Firm Stock or Option Stock to be delivered on the applicable Delivery Date, except upon payment for

made at the office of Ropes & Xxxx, LLP. Delivery of the Firm Stock shall be made to the
Representatives for the account of each Underwriter against payment by the several Underwriters
through the Representatives and of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Firm Stock being
sold by the Company and the Selling Stockholders to or upon the order of the Company and the
Selling Stockholders of the purchase price by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the

delivery at the time and place specified pursuant to this Agreement is a further condition of the
obligation of each Underwriter hereunder. The Company shall deliver the Firm Stock (except such
Firm Stock held by the Selling Stockholders) through the facilities of DTC unless the
Representatives shall otherwise instruct. For the Firm Stock delivered by the Selling Stockholders,

the Selling Stockholders by the Representatives; provided that if such date falls on a day that is
not a business day, the options granted in Section 3 will expire on the next succeeding business
day. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock as to which the
options are being exercised, the names in which the shares of Option Stock are to be registered,
the denominations in which the shares of Option Stock are to
17
be issued and the date and time, as determined by the Representatives, when the shares of
Option Stock are to be delivered; provided, however, that this date and time shall not be earlier
than the Initial Delivery Date nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the
options shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the
options shall have been exercised. Each date and time the shares of Option Stock are delivered is
sometimes referred to as an “Option Stock Delivery Date,” and the Initial Delivery Date and any
Option Stock Delivery Date are sometimes each referred to as a “Delivery Date.”

obligation of each Underwriter hereunder. The Company shall deliver the Option Stock (except such
Option Stock held by the Selling Stockholders) through the facilities of DTC unless the
Representatives shall otherwise instruct. For the Option Stock delivered by the Selling
Stockholders, upon delivery, the Selling Stockholders shall register such Option Stock in such
names and in such denominations as the Representatives shall request in writing no less than two

(h) With respect to the letter of Deloitte & Touche LLP referred to in Section 9(g) and
delivered to the Representatives concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the

“bring-down letter”) of such accountants, addressed to the Underwriters and dated such
Delivery Date (i) confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning
of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the
qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii)
stating, as of the date of the bring-down letter (or, with respect to matters involving
changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial
information is given in the Prospectus, as of a date not more than three days prior to the
date of the bring-down letter), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to
the financial information and other matters covered by the initial letter and (iii)
confirming in all material respects the conclusions and findings set forth in the initial
letter.
(i) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, dated such
Delivery Date, of its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer stating that:
(i) The representations, warranties and agreements of the Company in Section 1
are true and correct on and as of such Delivery Date, and the Company has complied
with all its agreements contained herein and satisfied all the conditions on its
part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Delivery Date;
24
(ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
has been issued; and no proceedings or examination for that purpose have been
instituted or, to the knowledge of such officers, threatened; and
(iii) They have examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the
Pricing Disclosure Package, and, in their opinion, (A) (1) the Registration
Statement, as of the Effective Date, (2) the Prospectus, as of its date and on the
applicable Delivery Date, or (3) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the
Applicable Time, did not and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
and did not and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration
Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, and (B) since the Effective Date, no event has occurred that should have
been set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that has not been so set forth;
(j) Each Selling Stockholder (or the Custodian or one or more attorneys-in-fact on
behalf of the Selling Stockholders) shall have furnished to the Representatives on such
Delivery Date a certificate, dated such Delivery Date, signed by, or on behalf of, the
Selling Stockholder (or the Custodian or one or more attorneys-in-fact) stating that the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Selling Stockholder contained herein are
true and correct on and as of such Delivery Date and that the Selling Stockholder has
complied with all its agreements contained herein and has satisfied all the conditions on
its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Delivery Date.
(k) The Executive Selling Stockholder (or the Custodian or one or more
attorneys-in-fact on behalf of the Executive Selling Stockholder) shall have furnished to
the Representatives on such Delivery Date a certificate, dated such Delivery Date, signed
by, or on behalf of, such Executive Selling Stockholder (or the Custodian or one or more
attorneys-in-fact) stating that such Executive Selling Stockholder has reviewed this
Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Pricing Disclosure Package and has no reason
to believe (i) the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) the Pricing
Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; provided that
no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the
Registration Statement or Pricing Disclosure Package in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of
any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in
Section 10(f).
(l) (i) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained, since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included in the most recent Preliminary
Prospectus, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion,
25
flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute
or court or governmental action, order or decree or (ii) since such date there shall not
have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or
affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, stockholders’
equity, properties, management, business or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries
taken as a whole, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is,
in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable
or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Stock being
delivered on such Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus.
(m) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement there shall not have
occurred any of the following: (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock
Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or trading in any
securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market, shall have been
suspended or materially limited or the settlement of such trading generally shall have been
materially disrupted or minimum prices shall have been established on any such exchange or
such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other regulatory body or
governmental authority having jurisdiction, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been
declared by federal or state authorities, (iii) the United States shall have become engaged
in hostilities, there shall have been an escalation in hostilities involving the United
States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United
States or (iv) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic,
political or financial conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist
activities after the date hereof (or the effect of international conditions on the financial
markets in the United States shall be such), as to make it, in the judgment of the
Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or
delivery of the Stock being delivered on such Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
(n) The NASDAQ Global Market shall have approved the Stock for inclusion, subject only
to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution.
(o) The Lock-Up Agreements between the Representatives and the officers, directors and
stockholders of the Company set forth on Schedule 3, delivered to the
Representatives on or before the date of this Agreement, shall be in full force and effect
on such Delivery Date.
(p) Subsequent to the earlier of (A) the Applicable Time and (B) the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, if there are any debt securities or preferred stock of, or guaranteed by,
the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are rated by a “nationally recognized
statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined by the Commission for purposes of
Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the
rating accorded any such debt securities or preferred stock and (ii) no such organization
shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its
outlook with respect to, its rating of any such debt securities or
26
preferred stock (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible
upgrading).
All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters.
10. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors,
officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited
to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Stock),
to which that Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (C) any
Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as
defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) used or referred to by any Underwriter,
(D) any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations) not constituting
an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (a “Non-Prospectus Road Show”) or (E) any Blue Sky
application or other document prepared or executed by the Company (or based upon any written
information furnished by the Company for use therein) specifically for the purpose of
qualifying any or all of the Stock under the securities laws of any state or other
jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue
Sky Application”) or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any
Non-Prospectus Road Show or any Blue Sky Application, any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall
reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person
promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that
Underwriter, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action 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, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement
thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road Show or any Blue Sky
Application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such
Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any
27
Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of
the information specified in Section 10(f). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any
director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.
(b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from
and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect
thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
relating to purchases and sales of Stock), to which that Underwriter, director, officer,
employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon,
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information,
any Non-Prospectus Road Show, any Blue Sky Application or any “free writing prospectus” (as
defined in Rule 405), prepared by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder or used or
referred to by the Selling Stockholder in connection with the offering of the Stock in
violation of Section 7(d) (a “Selling Stockholder Free Writing Prospectus”), (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement,
the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road Show, any Blue Sky
Application or any Selling Stockholder Free Writing Prospectus, any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall
reimburse each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees and each such controlling
person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that
Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees or controlling persons in connection with
investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred or (iii) any breach of any representation
or warranty of the Selling Stockholders in this Agreement or any certificate or other
agreement delivered pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the
Selling Stockholders shall only be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder to
the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road Show, any Blue Sky Application
or any Selling Stockholder Free Writing Prospectus. The liability of the Selling
Stockholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an
amount equal to the total net proceeds, after deducting underwriting commissions and
discounts, from the offering of the shares of the Stock purchased under the Agreement
received by the Selling Stockholder, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that
28
the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have to any Underwriter or any officer, employee
or controlling person of that Underwriter.
(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each Selling Stockholder, their respective directors, officers and employees, and
each person, if any, who controls the Company or such Selling Stockholder within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability,
joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company, such Selling
Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show or Blue Sky Application,
or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show or Blue Sky Application,
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company through the
Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein,
which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 10(f). The foregoing
indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have
to the Company, such Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or
controlling person.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of
any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided,
however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 10 except to the extent it has been
materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any such claim or action shall
be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from
the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of
such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party
under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ
counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those
29
other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and
controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of
which indemnity may be sought under this Section 10 if (i) the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed
within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
(iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are
different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the
named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling
persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation
of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of
such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall
(i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any
findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party, or (ii)
be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the
indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 shall for any reason be
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a),
10(b) or 10(c) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect
thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other,
from the offering of the Stock 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 Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with
respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or
liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders,
on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from
30
the offering of the Stock purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, as set forth in the table on the cover
page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the shares of the Stock purchased
under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the
other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or
the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company,
the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred
to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss,
claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section
10(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this
Section 10(e), 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 Section 10(e),
no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the net proceeds from the sale of the Stock underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any
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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section
10(e) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), no Selling Stockholder shall be
required to contribute any amount, taken together with any amount paid or payable by such
Selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 10(c), in excess of the total net proceeds from the
offering of the shares of the Stock purchased under the Agreement received by such Selling
Stockholder, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The Selling
Stockholders’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 10(e) are several in
proportion to the net proceeds received by them, respectively, from the sale of shares of
Stock under this Agreement and not joint.
(f) The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company and each Selling Stockholder
acknowledges and agrees that the statements regarding delivery of shares by the Underwriters
set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph
relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in,
the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the
only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus
31
Road Show. The Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the information provided by or
on behalf of the Selling Stockholders in the “Questionnaire for Selling Stockholder In
Connection with Public Offering,” the Custody Agreement and the Power of Attorney furnished
by the Selling Stockholder to the Company is the only information supplied by or on behalf
of such Selling Stockholder for use in Preliminary Prospectus, Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road Show, any Blue Sky Application
or any Selling Stockholder Free Writing Prospectus.
11. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on any Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters
shall be obligated to purchase the Stock that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to
purchase on such Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the number of shares of the Firm
Stock set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule
1 hereto bears to the total number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite the names of
all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that
the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Stock on
such Delivery Date if the total number of shares of the Stock that the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the total number of shares
of the Stock to be purchased on such Delivery Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter
shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the number of shares of the Stock that it
agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 3. If the foregoing
maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other underwriters
satisfactory to the Representatives who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Stock to be purchased on
such Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other underwriters satisfactory to the
Representatives do not elect to purchase the shares that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date, this Agreement (or, with respect to any Option
Stock Delivery Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, and of the Company to sell,
the Option Stock) shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter
or the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except that the Company will continue to be liable for
the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 8 and 13. As used in this Agreement,
the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires
otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 11,
purchases Stock that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have
to the Company and the Selling Stockholders for damages caused by its default. If other
Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Stock of a defaulting or withdrawing
Underwriter, either the Representatives or the Company may postpone the Delivery Date for up to
seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the
Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement.
32
12. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the
Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders prior
to delivery of and payment for the Firm Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described
in Sections 9(l) and 9(m) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the
Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
13. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the Company or any Selling Stockholder shall
fail to tender the Stock for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason or (b) the Underwriters
shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will
reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the
proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall pay
the full amount thereof to the Representatives. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 11 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, neither the Company nor any
Selling Stockholder shall be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those
expenses.
14. Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research
analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment
banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such
Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations
and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from
the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and the Selling
Stockholders hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the
Company or the Selling Stockholders may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict
of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research
analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice
communicated to the Company or the Selling Stockholder by such Underwriters’ investment banking
divisions. The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a
full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws,
may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short
positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that in
connection with this offering, sale of the Stock or any other services the Underwriters may be
deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or
otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently
made by the Underwriters: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company, Selling
Stockholders and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists;
(ii) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to either the Company or the
Selling Stockholders, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the
public offering price of the Stock, and such relationship between the Company and the Selling
Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely
commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties
33
and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company or Selling Stockholders shall be
limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and
their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the
Selling Stockholders. The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby waive any claims that the
Company or the Selling Stockholders may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of
fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.
16. Notices, Etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and:
