2
(“Citi”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), as representatives of the
Underwriters (the “Representatives”), shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the
Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of Class A Common Stock granted to the
Underwriters in Section 2 hereof.  The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “U.S. Registration Statement”;
the prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of the Shares (or in the form first made

Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional shares of Class A
Common Stock pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (a “Rule 462 Registration
Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “U.S. Registration Statement” shall be
deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement.
For purposes of this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”), “free writing
prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “U.S. Preliminary
Prospectus” shall mean each prospectus used prior to the effectiveness of the U.S. Registration

Securities Act that was used after such effectiveness, and prior to the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, “U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus” means the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus
contained in the U.S. Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness together with the
documents and pricing information and the free writing prospectuses, if any, set forth in
Schedule II hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road
show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available
without restriction to any person.  The term “Time of Sale” means [•] p.m., New York City time,

Morgan Stanley (the “U.S. Directed Share Underwriter”) has agreed to reserve a

and certain other individuals designated by the Company (collectively, the “U.S. Participants”),
as set forth in each of the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus under the

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; (iii) each broadly available road show, if any, did not conflict
with the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus and, when considered together with the U.S. Time
of Sale Prospectus, did not, as of the Time of Sale, 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;
and (iv) the U.S. Prospectus, as of its date, will not include and, as amended or

(d)The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering
pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act.  Any free writing

Commission thereunder.  Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is
required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by

5
and the U.S. Prospectus, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable in such
jurisdiction) in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property
requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in
good standing would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition, earnings, business, operations or
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “material adverse
effect”).

an equivalent concept is applicable in such jurisdiction) in which the conduct of its
business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such qualification, except to the
extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not, singly or in the

under, or in connection with applicable securities laws, (ii) restrictions on transfer,
hypothecation, or similar actions contained in any applicable organizational documents,
and (iii) those arising in the ordinary course of business. The subsidiaries of the Company

the “Bylaws”), (ii) any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any
of its subsidiaries that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or (iii) any statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, order or decree of any
governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any
subsidiary, except in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii) as would not, singly or in the

have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the
Company and its subsidiaries have (i) taken all steps required by Data Security
Obligations in order to collect and use, without any violation of Data Security
Obligations, any data or content (including text, numbers, images, photos, graphics,

the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”))
established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or their “ERISA
Affiliates” (as defined below) (each, a “Plan”) is and has been operated in compliance
with its terms and all applicable laws, including ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the
Code”), in all material respects. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan and no Plan, if
terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under
ERISA), as the fair market value of the assets under each Plan (excluding for these
purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) exceeds the present value of all benefits
accrued under such Plan (determined based on those assumptions used to fund such
Plan). Neither the Company, its subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has
incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with
respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any Plan, (ii) Sections 412 and 430, 4971,
4975 or 4980B of the Code or (iii) Sections 302 and 303, 406, 4063 and 4064 of ERISA. 
To the Company’s knowledge, each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure
to act, that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification.  There is
no pending audit or investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department
of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other governmental or other
regulatory entity or agency with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to
result in material liability to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  Neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries have any “accumulated post-retirement benefit
obligations” (within the meaning of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 106).
ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any
member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the
Code of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member.
14
(hh)The Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are insured against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as the Company believes are prudent in the
businesses in which they are currently engaged, except where the failure to be insured
would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that
would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(ii)The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable laws, regulations or other requirements of the United States
Federal Aviation Administration applicable to commercial rocket launches and reentries
(collectively, the “Launch Services Laws”), and neither the Company nor any of its

Services Laws, except for any such failures to comply that would not, singly or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(jj)Except as would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i)
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are in breach of or default under any
current Government Contract (as defined below), and, to the Company’s knowledge, no
event has occurred which would constitute such a breach or default by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries; (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable laws, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(“FAR”), FAR and FAR agency supplement cost principles, Service Contract Act of
1963, as amended (including requirements for paying applicable Service Contract Act
wage rate and fringe benefit rates), the Truthful Cost and Pricing Data Act, the
Procurement Integrity Act and the Anti-Kickback Act, where and as applicable to each
current Government Contract or Government Bid (as defined below); (iii) no reasonable
basis exists to give rise to a claim for fraud (as such concept is defined under the laws of
the United States) in connection with any Government Contract under the False Claims
Act; and (iv) no current Government Contract or Government Bid is currently the subject
of any bid protest before any Governmental Authority. Except as would not, singly or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the Company and its subsidiaries have not (i) been
the subject or target of any audit (other than pre-award, post-award or indirect rate audits
by the Defense Contract Audit Agency or the Defense Contract Management Agency or
other Governmental Authorities performing a similar function in the ordinary course of
business), subpoena, investigation, prosecution or administrative proceeding related to
any Government Contract or Government Bid, nor (ii) made any voluntary or mandatory
disclosure to any Governmental Authority with respect to any alleged material
irregularity, misstatement, noncompliance or omission arising under or relating to a
15
Government Contract or Government Bid. The Company and its subsidiaries are not (i)
debarred or suspended from participation in, or the award of, contracts with any
Governmental Authority, nor (ii) the subject of any debarment or suspension inquiry.  As

described in clauses (A) and (B).
(kk)The Company and each of its subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, local
and foreign tax returns required to be filed through the date of this Agreement or have
requested extensions thereof (except where the failure to file would not, singly or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and have paid all taxes required to be paid thereon
(except for cases in which the failure to file or pay would not, singly or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, except as currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which reserves required by generally accepted
accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been created in the financial statements of the
Company), and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any
of its subsidiaries which, singly or in the aggregate, has had (nor does the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries have any notice or knowledge of any tax deficiency which would
reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to the Company or its subsidiaries and
which would reasonably be expected to have) a material adverse effect on the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

related schedules and notes thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the

respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the
dates shown and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such

Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and presents fairly in all material respects the
information shown thereby. The statistical, industry-related and market-related data
included in each of the U.S. Registration Statement, the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus and
the U.S. Prospectus are based on or derived from sources which the Company reasonably
16
and in good faith believes are reliable and accurate and such data is consistent with the
sources from which they are derived, in each case in all material respects.
(mm)There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the
Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended,
and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith.

13(a)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and (y) any change in the Company’s internal

with the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus, and (iii) any individual Testing-the-Waters
Communication, when considered together with the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus,

Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) included in any of the U.S.

Period (as defined below) without the consent of the Company (“Market Standoff
Provisions”) that are enforceable by the Company.  Each such Market Standoff Provision
is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and shall remain in full force and effect
during the Restricted Period, except that this provision shall not prevent the Company
from effecting such a waiver or amendment to permit a transfer of securities which would
be permissible if such securities were subject to the terms of the lock-up agreement in the
form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
2.Agreements to Sell and Purchase.  The Company hereby agrees to sell to the
several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and
not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth in
Schedule I hereto opposite its name at $[•] a share (the “Purchase Price”).
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and
subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional
Shares, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to [•]
Additional Shares at the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the amount paid by the
Underwriters for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any
dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such
Additional Shares.  The Representatives may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in
whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice to the Company not later than 30 days
after the date of this Agreement.  Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional
Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such Additional Shares are to
be purchased.  Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is

given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Shares or later than ten business
days after the date of such notice.  Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 4
hereof solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the offering of
the Firm Shares.  On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option
Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of
Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the
Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional
Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in
Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm
Shares.
3.Terms of Public Offering.  The Company is advised by the Representatives that
the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as
soon after the U.S. Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in the
Representatives’ judgment is advisable.  The Company is further advised by the Representatives
that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $[•] a share (the “Public Offering
Price”) and to certain dealers selected by the Representatives at a price that represents a
concession not in excess of $[•] a share under the Public Offering Price, and that any
Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession, not in excess of $[•] a
share, to any Underwriter or to certain other dealers.
The Company is further advised that the Shares are to be offered to the public as further
described in Schedules V-IX hereto.
4.Payment and Delivery.  Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made to the
Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of
such Firm Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at [•] a.m., New York
City time, on [•], 2026, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than [•],
2026, as shall be designated in writing by the Company and the Representatives.  The time and
date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other time on the same or
on such other date, in any event not later than [•], 2026, as shall be designated in writing by
Goldman Sachs.
The Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as Goldman

applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be.  The Firm Shares and Additional Shares
shall be delivered to Goldman Sachs on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any transfer taxes payable
in connection with the transfer of the Shares to the Underwriters duly paid, against payment of
the Purchase Price therefor.
20
Payment and delivery of the Shares shall be further conducted in the manners described
in Schedules V-IX hereto.

rendered to the Underwriters at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.

6(f) below, as many copies of the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus and
any supplements and amendments thereto or to the U.S. Registration Statement as the
Representatives may reasonably request.
(b)Before amending or supplementing the U.S. Registration Statement, the
U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, to furnish to the Representatives a
copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed
amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object in a timely
manner, and to file with the Commission within the applicable period specified in
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act any prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such
Rule.
(c)To prepare and file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), as
promptly as possible and in any event no later than the Closing, the U.S. Prospectus
setting forth the amount of Shares covered thereby, and the terms thereof not otherwise
specified in the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus.
23
(d)To furnish to the Representatives a copy of each proposed free writing
prospectus 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 the Representatives
reasonably object.
(e)Not to take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company
being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities
Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the
Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(f)If the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy
the Shares at a time when the U.S. Prospectus 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 U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or
if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the U.S. Time of Sale
Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the U.S. Registration Statement
then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend
or supplement the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus 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 U.S. Time of
Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended
or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the U.S. Time of Sale
Prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the U.S. Time
of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the U.S.
Registration Statement, or so that the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(g)If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the
Shares as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the U.S. 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 U.S. Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the U.S. 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
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or
supplement the U.S. 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 the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to
which Shares may have been sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters
and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the U.S.
Prospectus so that the statements in the U.S. Prospectus as so amended or supplemented
will not, in the light of the circumstances when the U.S. Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the
notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be
24
misleading or so that the U.S. Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with
applicable law.
(h)If required by applicable law, to endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer
and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives
shall reasonably request; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to
qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any
action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of
the offering or sale of the Shares, that would subject it to taxation in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so subject, that would require it to list the Shares on any securities
exchange other than Nasdaq or Nasdaq Texas, or that would subject it to ongoing
reporting requirements (other than Japan and Canada).
(i)To make generally available (which may be satisfied by successfully filing
with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System) to
the Company’s security holders and to the Representatives 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.
(j)To comply in all material respects with all applicable securities and other
laws, rules and regulations in each jurisdiction in which the Directed Shares are offered in

any of the foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing
and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities

the distribution thereof, (v) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of
the offering of the Shares by FINRA (provided that the aggregate amount payable by the
Company with respect to fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriters pursuant to
clause (v) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $200,000), (vi) all fees and expenses in

show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses
of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and fifty
(50) percent of the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show (with
the remaining fifty (50) percent of such costs to be paid by the Underwriters), (x) the
document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement, (xi)
all fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the
Directed Share Program (provided that the aggregate amount payable by the Company
with respect to such fees and expenses of counsel under this clause (xi) shall not exceed
$350,000) and stamp duties or similar taxes or duties, if any, incurred by the
Underwriters in connection with the Directed Share Program (other than any refundable
stock transfer tax imposed by the State of New York), and (xii) all other costs and
expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for
which provision is not otherwise made in this Section.  It is understood, however, that
except as provided in this Section, Section 8 entitled “Indemnity and Contribution,”
Section 9 entitled “Directed Share Program Indemnification” and the last paragraph of
Section 13 below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including
fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of
the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may
make.
(l)If at any time following the distribution of any Testing-the-Waters
Communication that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 405 under
the Securities Act there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which
such Testing-the-Waters Communication included or would include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent
time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will
promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Testing-the-Waters
Communication to eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.
26
(m) During the Restricted Period, the Company will not, without the prior
written consent of Goldman Sachs, in its sole discretion, release, waive or amend any
lock-up, market standoff or similar restrictions applicable to its employees, officers,
directors or shareholders; provided that such prior written consent shall not be required
for any such releases, waivers or amendments that occur on terms described in the U.S.
Time of Sale Prospectus. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Company
will enforce these lock-up, market standoff or similar restrictions, including, without
limitation, through the issuance of stop transfer instructions to the Company’s transfer
agent with respect to any transaction that would constitute a breach of, or default under,
the transfer restrictions described in the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus.
(n)The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares as
described in the U.S. Registration Statement, the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus and the
U.S. Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”
(o)During the period beginning from the date hereof and continuing to and
including the date 180 days after the date of the U.S. Prospectus (the Restricted
Period”), the Company also covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior
written consent of Goldman Sachs, it will not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant
any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly
or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities
Act relating to, any shares of Common Stock, including but not limited to any options or
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or any securities that are convertible into
or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or any such
substantially similar securities, or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the
foregoing (provided that, should the Company make a confidential submission to the
Commission, it shall notify Goldman Sachs of such submission), or (ii) enter into any
swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock or such other securities, whether
any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of
Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise (other than the Shares to be
sold hereunder or pursuant to employee stock option plans existing on, or upon the
conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of, the
date of this Agreement).  For purposes of this section, a “Trading Day” is a day on
which the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market are open for the
buying and selling of securities.
The restrictions contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (a) the
Shares to be sold hereunder, (b) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise (including any net exercise) of an option or warrant, the vesting
and settlement (including any net settlement) of restricted stock units or similar equity
awards or the reclassification or conversion of a security, in each case outstanding on the
date hereof and identified in the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, (c)
the grant or issuance by the Company, or exercise or settlement (in cash, shares of
Common Stock or otherwise), of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
27
awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards or any other type of equity
award or arrangement to employees, officers, directors, advisors or consultants of the
Company pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the U.S. Time of Sale
Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus or the issuance by the Company of Common Stock
pursuant to an employee stock purchase plan of the Company described in the U.S. Time
of Sale Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, (d) the filing by the Company of one or more
registration statements with the Commission on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto
with respect to any of the employee benefit plans described in the U.S. Time of Sale
Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, (e) the establishment or amendment of a trading plan
on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1
under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock; provided that (i)
such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period
(except to the extent otherwise allowed pursuant to the terms of the form of lock-up
agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto) and (ii), to the extent a public announcement or
filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of, or voluntarily made by, the
Company regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan, such announcement or
filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be
made under such plan during any lock-up period to which such shareholder, officer or
director is bound, (f) sales of Common Stock on behalf of an employee of the Company
to satisfy the withholding taxes payable upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of such
employee’s equity awards pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the U.S. Time
of Sale Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, or (g) the sale, exchange, or issuance of, or
entry into an agreement to sell, exchange, or issue, Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including, without
limitation, options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or warrants) in connection with
any acquisition of the equity interests or assets of any person, the acquisition by the
Company or its subsidiary by any means of any license, right to use, business, properties,
assets, products, technologies or person, in one or a series of transactions (whether by
means of merger, stock or equity purchase, asset purchase or otherwise), including
pursuant to an employee benefit plan assumed by the Company in connection with such
transaction, or in connection with joint ventures, commercial relationships or other
strategic or collaborative corporate transactions or alliances, or any announcement or
filing of a registration statement related thereto.
If Goldman Sachs, in its sole discretion, agrees to release or waive the restrictions
set forth in a lock-up letter described in this Section 6(o) for an officer or director of the
Company and provides the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at
least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, the Company
agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by a press release substantially in the
form of Exhibit B hereto through a major news service at least two business days before
the effective date of the release or waiver.
(p)The Company will use its best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of
the Shares on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas.
28
7.Representations and Covenants of the Underwriters
(a)Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company
not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the
Commission under Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus
prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be
filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter. 
(b)Each Underwriter represents and agrees that any Testing-the-Waters
Communications undertaken by it were with entities that such Underwriter reasonably
believes are qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities
Act or institutions that are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3),
(a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12) or (a)(13) under the Securities Act, and each Underwriter has
not distributed or authorized any other person to distribute, and will not distribute or
authorize any other person to distribute, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication
other than those listed on Schedule III hereto, in each case other than with the prior
written consent or authorization of the Company.
8.Indemnity and Contribution.  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each
affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and their
respective employees from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including, without limitation, any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are
based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
U.S. Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the
U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing
prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the
Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any
road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), the U.S.
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication,
or arise out of, or are 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 or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any
such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon
and in conformity with any Underwriter Information. 
(b)Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the U.S. Registration Statement
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference
to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the U.S. Registration
29
Statement, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer
free writing prospectus, road show or the U.S. Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto; it being understood and agreed that the only such information
furnished by any such Underwriter consists of the following information in the U.S.
Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the concession and reallowance
figures appearing in the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting;” the
information contained in the eighth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting;” and the
information contained in the first sentence of the twentieth paragraph under the caption
“Underwriting” (the “Underwriter Information”).
(c)In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall
be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the
person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in
writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall
pay the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of such counsel related to
such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named
parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal
expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable and documented fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all
such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they
are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case
of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b).  The indemnifying party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled
with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing 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 as contemplated by the second and
third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (x) such
settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of
the aforesaid request and (y) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party,
30
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened 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 proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
wrongdoing, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such
paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii)  if
the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(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 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the
one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the
offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of the Shares (after deducting underwriting commissions and
discounts but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set
forth in the table on the cover of the U.S. Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public
Offering Price of the Shares.  The relative fault of the Company 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 by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Underwriters’
respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to
the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e)The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
in Section 8(d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) 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 or defending any
such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter
31
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to
the public exceeds the amount of any damages that 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 remedies provided for in
this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f)The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and
the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter, or any affiliate of any Underwriter
or their respective employees or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors
or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Shares.
9.Directed Share Program Indemnification.  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Directed Share Underwriters, each person, if any, who controls the
Directed Share Underwriters within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each employee of the Directed Share Underwriters, and each
affiliate of the Directed Share Underwriters within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act
(the “Directed Share Underwriter Entities”) from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i) that arise out
of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to
Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program or arise out of, or are 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; (ii) that arise out of, or are based upon,
the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Shares that the
Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising out of, or in connection with the
Directed Share Program, other than losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating
thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross
negligence of the Directed Share Underwriter Entities. 
(b)In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall
be instituted involving any Directed Share Underwriter Entity in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9(a), the Directed Share Underwriter Entity
seeking indemnity, shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company, upon
request of the Directed Share Underwriter Entity, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Directed Share Underwriter Entity to represent the Directed Share
Underwriter Entity and any others the Company may designate in such proceeding and
32
shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any
such proceeding, any Directed Share Underwriter Entity shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Directed Share Underwriter Entity unless (i) the Company shall have agreed to the
retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Directed Share Underwriter Entity
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not, in respect of
the legal expenses of the Directed Share Underwriter Entities in connection with any such
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Directed
Share Underwriter Entities.  Any such separate firm for the Directed Share Underwriter
Entities shall be designated in writing by the Directed Share Underwriters.  The Company
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,
the Company agrees to indemnify the Directed Share Underwriter Entities from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time a Directed Share Underwriter Entity shall have
requested the Company to reimburse it for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated
by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the Company agrees that it shall be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid
request and (ii) the Company shall not have reimbursed the Directed Share Underwriter
Entity in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  The
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Directed Share Underwriters,
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Directed Share Underwriter Entity is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such Directed Share Underwriter Entity, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of the Directed Share Underwriter Entities
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(c)To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) is
unavailable to a Directed Share Underwriter Entity or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the Company in lieu of
indemnifying the Directed Share Underwriter Entity thereunder, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Directed Share Underwriter Entity as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Directed Share
Underwriter Entities on the other hand from the offering of the Directed Shares or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause 9(c)(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 9(c)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the
Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand in connection with any statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company
33
on the one hand and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand in
connection with the offering of the Directed Shares shall be deemed to be in the same
respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Directed Shares
(before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities for the Directed Shares, bear to the
aggregate Public Offering Price of the Directed Shares.  If the loss, claim, damage or
liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement or the omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the
Company or by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(d)The Company and the Directed Share Underwriter Entities agree that it
would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined
by pro rata allocation (even if the Directed Share Underwriter Entities 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 Section 9(c).  The amount paid or payable
by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Directed Share Underwriter Entities in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Directed
Share Underwriter Entity shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the Directed Shares distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Directed Share
Underwriter Entity has otherwise been required to pay.  The remedies provided for in this
Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may
otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(e)The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Directed Share
Underwriter Entity or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the
Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Directed Shares.
10.Termination.  The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by
the Representatives to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
prior to or on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (i) trading
generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the New
York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the
Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a
material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States
34
shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been
declared by Federal or New York State authorities (v) a material adverse change in national or
international financial, political, or economic conditions which has a material adverse impact on
the financial markets in the United States, or (vi) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities, the declaration of a national emergency or war, any acts of terrorism, or
any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Representatives’ reasonable
judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in
clauses (v) or (vi), makes it, in the Representatives’ judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus.
11.Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement
shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements,
representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to

this Agreement, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following,
or some combination thereof:
(i)the reduction of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability or
outstanding amounts due thereon;
(ii)the conversion of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability into
shares, other securities or other obligations of the relevant Underwriter(s) or

(iii)the cancellation of the BRRD Liability;

(b)the variation of the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreements or
arrangements hereunder as deemed necessary by the Relevant Resolution Authority, to

13.Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters.  This Agreement shall become effective
upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of
the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to
purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth
of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall
be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their
respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite
the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the
Representatives may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event
shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this
Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such
number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter.  If, on the Closing Date, any
Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate
number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the
aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to
the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares 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 either the Representatives 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 U.S. Registration Statement, in the U.S.
Time of Sale Prospectus, in the U.S. Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may
be effected.  If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse
to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to
which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares
to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the
option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on
such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that
such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such
37
default.  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.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any
failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the
conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, and not as a result of the default by the Underwriters or the
occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 10(i), (iv), (v) or (vi), the Company will
reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with
respect to themselves, severally, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees
and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters (and their
affiliates) in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
14.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 Shares, represents the entire agreement between the
Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, with respect to the
preparation of any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Time of Sale Prospectus, the U.S.
Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b)The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the
Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no
fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the
Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any
contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not
superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that
differ from those of the Company, and (iv) none of the activities of the Underwriters in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation,
investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any
entity or natural person.  The Company waives 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 Shares.
15.Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.  (a) In the event that any
Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and
obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would
be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest
and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act
Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against
such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default
Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
38

“affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered

Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12
C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each
of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title
II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.
16.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.  This Agreement may be signed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures
thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile,
electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of
2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other

delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for
all purposes.
17.Applicable Law.  This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising
under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York.
18.Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Company and each of the Underwriters hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by
jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
