proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in
Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom
you are acting as representative (the
“Representative”), an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common
Stock”), of the Company, and the stockholders of the Company
listed in Schedule II hereto (the “Selling
Stockholders”) propose to sell to the Underwriters an
aggregate of 7,250,000 shares of the Common Stock. In addition,
certain of the Selling Stockholders propose to grant to the
Underwriters options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000
additional shares of the Common Stock on the terms set forth in
Section 2. The aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Common
Stock to be sold by the Company and the Selling Stockholders is
herein called the “Underwritten Shares” and the
aggregate of 1,500,000 additional shares of the Common Stock to be
sold by certain of the Selling Stockholders at the
Underwriters’ option is herein called the “Option
Shares”. The Underwritten Shares and the Option Shares are
herein referred to as the “Shares”.
The Company hereby
confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the
purchase and sale of the Shares, as follows:
1.
Registration Statement . The Company has prepared and filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration
statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-136929), including a
prospectus, relating to the Shares. Such registration statement, as
amended at the time it becomes effective, including the
information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A under the
Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time
of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is
referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and
as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means
each prospectus that is included in such registration statement
(and any amendments thereto)
before it
becomes effective and the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430
Information; and the term “most recent Preliminary
Prospectus” means the latest Preliminary Prospectus included
in the Registration Statement on or prior to the date hereof; and
the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus in the form
first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant
to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with
confirmation of sales of the Shares and that is filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. If the Company has filed an
abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under
the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration
Statement”), then any reference herein to the term
“Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include
such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
At or prior to
10:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement
(the “Applicable Time”), the Company prepared the
following information: (i) the most recent Preliminary
Prospectus and (ii) “free writing prospectuses” (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and including,
without limitation, any “road show” that is a free
writing prospectus pursuant to Rule 433) prepared by or on behalf
of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection
with the offering of the Shares (“Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus”), including any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses
that were filed by the Company with the Commission on or before the
Applicable Time (“Filed Issuer Free Writing
Prospectuses”) as set out on Annex F. In addition, you have
informed us that the Underwriters have or will orally provide the
pricing information set out on Annex E to prospective purchasers
prior to confirming sales (the “Oral Pricing
Information” and, collectively with the most recent
Preliminary Prospectus and each Filed Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”). If,
subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Company and the
Underwriters have determined that such Pricing Disclosure Package
included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted a
statement of material fact necessary to make the information
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made,
not misleading and have agreed to provide an opportunity to
purchasers of the Shares to terminate their old purchase contracts
and enter into new purchase contracts, then “Pricing
Disclosure Package” will refer to the information available
to purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new purchase
contract.
2.
Purchase of the Shares by the Underwriters . (a) The
Company and each of the Selling Stockholders agree, severally and
not jointly, to sell the number of Shares set forth under the
column “Underwritten Shares” opposite its name in
Schedule II hereto to the several Underwriters as provided in
this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and
subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and
not jointly, to purchase from the Company and each of the Selling
Stockholders at a purchase price per share of $22.667 (the
“Purchase Price”) the number of Underwritten Shares (to
be adjusted by you so as to eliminate fractional shares) determined
by multiplying the aggregate number of Underwritten Shares to be
sold by the Company and each of the Selling Stockholders as set
forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of
Underwritten Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter as set
forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in
Schedule I
3
hereto and the
denominator of which is the aggregate number of Underwritten Shares
to be purchased by all the Underwriters from the Company and all
the Selling Stockholders hereunder.
In addition, each
of the Selling Stockholders, as and to the extent indicated in
Schedule II hereto, agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell
the Option Shares to the several Underwriters in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and such Underwriters shall have the
option to purchase at their election up to a maximum of 1,500,000
Option Shares, at the Purchase Price, in the event that the
Underwriters sell more shares of Common Stock than the number of
Underwritten Shares. The Underwriters, on the basis of the
representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the
conditions hereinafter stated, shall have the option to purchase,
severally and not jointly, from each of the Selling Stockholders,
as and to the extent indicated in Schedule II hereto, at the
Purchase Price, that portion of the number of Option Shares as to
which such election shall have been exercised (subject to such
adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative
may determine) determined by multiplying such number of Option
Shares by a fraction the numerator of which is the maximum number
of Option Shares which such Underwriter is entitled to purchase and
the denominator of which is the maximum number of Option Shares
which all of the Underwriters are entitled to purchase hereunder.
Any such election to purchase Option Shares shall be made in
proportion to the maximum number of Option Shares to be sold by
each Selling Stockholder as set forth in Schedule II
hereto.
The Underwriters
may exercise the option to purchase the Option Shares at any time
and from time to time on or before the thirtieth day following the
date of this Agreement, by written notice from the Representative
to the Company and an Attorney-in-Fact (as defined below). Such
notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Option Shares as to
which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the
Option Shares are to be delivered and paid for, which may be the
same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but
shall not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than the tenth
full business day (as hereinafter defined) after the date of such
notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with
the provisions of Section 12 hereof). Any such notice shall be
given at least three Business Days prior to the date and time of
delivery specified therein, unless otherwise agreed by the parties
hereto.
(b) The
Company and the Selling Stockholders understand that the
Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Shares as soon
after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the
Representative is advisable, and initially to offer the Shares on
the terms set forth in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and
the Prospectus. The Company and the Selling Stockholders
acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters may offer and sell
Shares to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any
such affiliate may offer and sell Shares purchased by it to or
through any Underwriter.
(c) Payment
for the Shares shall be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account specified by the Company to the
Representative with regard to payment to the Company and by the
Attorneys-in-Fact (as defined below), or any of them, to the
Representative with regard to payment to the Selling Stockholders,
in the case of the Underwritten Shares, at the offices of Davis
Polk & Wardwell at 10:00 A.M. New York City
4
time on
October 12, 2006, or at such other time or place on the same
or such other date, not later than the fifth business day
thereafter, as the Representative and the Company and an
Attorney-in-Fact may agree upon in writing or, in the case of the
Option Shares, on the date and at the time and place specified by
the Representative in the written notice of the Underwriters’
election to purchase such Option Shares. The time and date of such
payment for the Underwritten Shares are referred to herein as the
“Closing Date” and any time and date for such payment
for the Option Shares, if other than the Closing Date, are herein
referred to as an “Additional Closing Date”.
Payment for the
Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date or an Additional Closing
Date, as the case may be, shall be made against delivery to the
Representative for the respective accounts of the several
Underwriters of the Shares to be purchased on such date in such
form and registered in such names and in such denominations as the
Representative shall request in writing not later than two full
business days prior to the Closing Date or an Additional Closing
Date, as the case may be, with any transfer taxes payable in
connection with the sale of the Shares duly paid by the Company or
the Selling Stockholders, as the case may be. The certificates, if
any, for the Shares will be made available for inspection and
packaging by the Representative at the office of Lehman Brothers
Inc. set forth above not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the business day prior to the Closing Date or an Additional
Closing Date, as the case may be.
(d) Each of
the Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledges and agrees
that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and the
Selling Stockholders with respect to the offering of Shares
contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the
terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a
fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Selling Stockholders
or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor
any other Underwriter is advising the Company, the Selling
Stockholders or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment,
accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company
and the Selling Stockholders shall consult with their own advisors
concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their
own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions
contemplated hereby and, unless and to the extent otherwise
expressly set forth herein, the Underwriters shall have no
responsibility or liability to the Company or the Selling
Stockholders with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters
of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other
matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for
the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the
Company or the Selling Stockholders.
