The Company has included or will include in such Registration Statement, as amended at the Execution Time, and in the Prospectus Supplement all information required by the Securities Act and the rules thereunder to be included therein with respect to the Securities and the offering thereof. As filed, such Registration Statement, as so amended, and form of final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and Prospectus Supplement, contains or will contain all required information with respect to the Securities and the offering thereof and, except to the extent the Managers shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to the Underwriters prior to the date hereof or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes as the Company has advised the Managers, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein.

(b) At the respective times the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date pursuant to Rule 430B and on the Closing Date, the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder and did not contain and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and on the Closing Date complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder and did not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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, however, that the Company and the Guarantor make no representations or warranties as to (A) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Managers specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) or (B) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), of the Trustee.

3. Public Offering. The Company and the Guarantor have been advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Notes as soon after this Agreement has been entered into as in your judgment is advisable and initially to offer the Notes upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.

4. Payment and Delivery.

(a) Payment for the Underwriters’ Notes shall be made to the Company in federal (same day) or other funds immediately available by wire transfer to an account at a bank specified in writing to the Underwriters by the Company on the closing date and time set forth in Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company.

(b) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any public announcement have been made of any surveillance or review or placement on a so-called “watch list,” with possible negative implications, in the rating accorded the Company and the Guarantor or any of the securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and the Guarantor by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act; and

(c) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Guarantor, the Company and their respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the General Disclosure Package that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the General Disclosure Package.

(d) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of the Company or the Guarantor, to the effect set forth in Section 5(b) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantor contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that each of the Company and the Guarantor has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on their respective parts to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing Date.

The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his or her knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

(h) The Underwriters shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, from Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(i) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you such further certificates and documents as you shall have requested.

All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are satisfactory in form and substance to you and your counsel.

Any certificate or document signed by any officer of the Company or the Guarantor and delivered to you, as Managers, or to counsel for the Underwriters, shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, to each Underwriter as to the statements made therein.

6. Covenants of the Company and the Guarantor. The Company and the Guarantor covenant with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) To furnish to you, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein) and to deliver to each of the Underwriters during the period mentioned in Section 6(d) or 6(e) below, as many copies of the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as you may reasonably request.

(b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, to furnish to you a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object.

(c) To furnish to you a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and relating to the offering of the Securities) to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and not to use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which you reasonably object (any such free writing prospectus not objected to by the Managers is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”).

(d) If the General Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the General Disclosure Package is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the General Disclosure Package conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the General Disclosure Package so that the statements in the General Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the General Disclosure Package is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the General Disclosure Package, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the General Disclosure Package, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(e) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the

light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(f) To cooperate with the Managers and counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request; provided, that in no event shall the Company and the Guarantor be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(g) To make generally available to the Guarantor’s security holders as soon as practicable an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(h) If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be terminated after execution pursuant to any provisions hereof (otherwise than pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10 hereof or by notice given by you terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or Section 10 hereof) or if this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor agree to reimburse the Managers for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters) reasonably incurred by you in connection herewith.

(i) The Company and the Guarantor agree to pay the following costs and expenses and all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by them of their obligations hereunder: (i) the preparation, printing or reproduction, and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits thereto), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging and any costs associated with electronic delivery) of such copies of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Incorporated Documents, and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, the preliminary and supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda, the Indenture and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (v) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee, if any; (vi) if applicable, the registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act and the listing of the Securities on the NYSE; (vii) the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of the several states as provided in Section 6(g) hereof (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters relating to the preparation, printing or reproduction, and delivery of the preliminary and supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda and such registration and qualification); (viii) the filing fees and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.; (ix) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company and Guarantor representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (x) the fees and expenses of the Company’s and the Guarantor’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company and the Guarantor; and (xi) the costs and expenses (including without limitation any damages or other amounts payable in connection with legal or contractual liability) associated with the reforming of any contracts for sale of the Securities made by the Underwriters caused by a breach of the representation in Section 1(c).

(j) During the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or the Guarantor or warrants to purchase or otherwise acquire debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Securities (other than (i) the Securities, (ii) commercial paper issued in

the ordinary course of business, (iii) securities or warrants permitted with the prior written consent of the Managers with the authorization to release this lock-up on behalf of the Underwriters, or (iv) the issuance of up to €150 million Euro denominated unsecured notes in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s €100 million of Euro denominated unsecured notes that mature on April 12, 2024).

(k) To prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Securities or the offering in a form consented to by the Managers, and to file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Securities.

(l) To use its best efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

7. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company and the Guarantor not to take any action that would result in the Company or the Guarantor being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company and the Guarantor hereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

8. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of you and each other Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantor by or on behalf of any Underwriter through you expressly for use in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have.

(b) If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Guarantor, such Underwriter or such controlling person shall promptly notify the Company or the Guarantor (but failure to so notify the Company or the Guarantor shall not relieve either the Company or the Guarantor from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement) and the Company or the Guarantor shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Such Underwriter or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter or such controlling person unless (i) the Company or the Guarantor has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company or the Guarantor has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) the named parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Underwriter or such controlling person and the Company or the Guarantor and such Underwriter or such controlling person shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the Company or the Guarantor by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the Company and the Guarantor shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Underwriter or such controlling person). It is understood, however, that the Company and the Guarantor shall, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Underwriters and controlling persons not having actual or potential differing interests with you or

among themselves, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Managers, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Company and the Guarantor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, the Company and the Guarantor agree to indemnify and hold harmless any Underwriter, to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph, and any such controlling person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, each of their trustees, officers who sign the Registration Statement, and any person who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantor to each Underwriter, but only with respect to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto. If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or the Guarantor, any of its trustees, any such officer, or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to this paragraph (c), such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company and the Guarantor by paragraph (b) above (except that if the Company or the Guarantor shall have assumed the defense thereof such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Underwriter’s expense), and the Company and the Guarantor, each of their trustees, any such officer, and any such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by paragraph (b) above. The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (c) hereof in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Notes, 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 or the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by a 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 account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Notes underwritten by it and distributed 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto (or such principal amount of Notes increased as set forth in Section 11 hereof) and not joint.

(f) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and 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.

(g) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 8(b) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 8(b) effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (i) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent such indemnifying party considers such request to be reasonable and (ii) provides written notice to the indemnified party substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case prior to the date of such settlement.

(h) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its trustees or officers, or any person controlling the Company,

(ii) acceptance of any Notes and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, or to the Company, its trustees or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in your absolute discretion, without liability on the part of any Underwriter to the Company by notice to the Company and the Guarantor, if prior to the Closing Date, (i) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the business, properties, net worth or results of operations of the Company, the Guarantor, the Subsidiaries or the Partnerships, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) trading in securities generally on the NYSE, the NYSE American, Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or California shall have been declared by either federal or state authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or domestic calamity, crisis or change in political, financial or economic conditions, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to commence or continue the offering of the Notes at the offering price to the public set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the resale of the Notes by the Underwriters. Notice of such termination may be given to the Company and the Guarantor by telecopy or telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. 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 Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Underwriters’ Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Underwriters’ Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters’ Notes and the aggregate principal amount of Underwriters’ Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Underwriters’ Notes by one or more non-defaulting Underwriters or other party or

parties approved by you and the Company are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case which does not result in termination of this Agreement, 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 Registration Statement, in the General Disclosure Package, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement includes, for all purposes of this Agreement, any party not listed in Schedule II hereto who, with your approval and the approval of the Company, purchases Notes which a defaulting Underwriter is obligated, but fails or refuses, to purchase.

11. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b) The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, the Guarantor or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and the Guarantor only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantor. The Company and the Guarantor waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

12. Information Furnished by the Underwriters.
