Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) has agreed to reserve a portion of the Shares to be purchased by it under this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”), up to [•] Shares, for sale to the Company’s employees (collectively, “Participants”), as set forth in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) under the heading “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” (the “Directed Share Program”). The Shares to be sold by Morgan Stanley and its affiliates pursuant to the Directed Share Program, at the direction of the Company, are referred to hereinafter as the “Directed Shares.” Any Directed Shares not orally confirmed for purchase by any Participant by the end of the business day on which this Agreement is executed will be offered to the public by the Underwriters as set forth in the Prospectus.

Such registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C 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

In addition, the Company agrees to issue and sell and the Selling Stockholder agrees to sell the Option Shares to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and the Underwriters, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall have the option to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the each of the Company and the Selling Stockholder the Option Shares at the Purchase Price less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Underwritten Shares but not payable on the Option Shares.

If any Option Shares are to be purchased, the number of Option Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the number of Option Shares which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Option Shares being purchased as the number of Underwritten Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto (or such number increased as set forth in Section 12 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Underwritten Shares being purchased from the Company and the Selling Stockholder by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate any fractional Shares as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make. Any such election to purchase Option Shares shall be made in proportion to the maximum number of Option Shares to be sold by the Company and by the Selling Stockholder as set forth in Schedule 2 hereto.

 

3


The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase Option Shares at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company and the 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 10 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least two business days prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein.

(b) The Company and the Selling Stockholder understand that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Shares, and initially to offer the Shares on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package. The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters may offer and sell Shares to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter.

(c) Payment for the Shares shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Company and Attorney-in-Fact or any of them (with regard to the Selling Stockholder, to the Representatives in the case of the Underwritten Shares, at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP at 10:00 A.M.

The time and date of such payment for the Underwritten Shares is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”, and the time and date for such payment for the Option Shares, if other than the Closing Date, is herein referred to as the “Additional Closing Date.”

Payment for the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be made against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Shares to be purchased on such date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of such Shares duly paid by the Company and the Selling Stockholder, as applicable. Delivery of the Shares shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

(d) Each of the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge and agree that the Representatives and the other Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder 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 Parties, the Selling Stockholder or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company Parties, the Selling Stockholder or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder 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 neither the Representatives nor the other Underwriters shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company Parties or the Selling Stockholder with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives and the other Underwriters of the Company Parties, 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 Parties or the Selling Stockholder.

(b) Indemnification of the Underwriters by the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or the Pricing Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in paragraph (c) below, and in each case only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission to state a material fact or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder’s Selling Stockholder Information.

31


(d) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and expenses in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred and documented. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred and documented. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and any such separate firm for a Company Party, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of a Company Party shall be designated in writing by the Company and any such separate firm for the Selling Stockholder shall be designated in writing by the Attorney-in-Fact. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for reasonably incurred fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

32


(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person 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 Parties and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, 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 Parties and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Shares and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, 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 and the Selling Stockholder or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) Limitation on Liability. The Company Parties, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (e) above 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 paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonably incurred legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (e) and (f), in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares 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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to paragraphs (e) and (f) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(g) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 paragraphs (a) through (e) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

 

33


(h) Directed Share Program Indemnification. Each Company Party agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Morgan Stanley and each person, if any, who controls Morgan Stanley within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of Morgan Stanley within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act ( a “Morgan Stanley Entity”) 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 our 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 our 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 Morgan Stanley Entities.

(i) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Morgan Stanley Entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (h), the Morgan Stanley Entity seeking indemnity shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company, upon request of the Morgan Stanley Entity, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Morgan Stanley Entity to represent the Morgan Stanley Entity and any others the Company Parties may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley Entity unless (i) the Company and such Morgan Stanley Entity shall have mutually 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 Morgan Stanley Entity and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company Parties shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of the Morgan Stanley Entities in connection with any 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 Morgan Stanley Entities. Any such separate firm for the Morgan Stanley Entities shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley. The Company Parties 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 Parties agree, jointly and severally to indemnify the Morgan Stanley Entities from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time any Morgan Stanley 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, each of the Company Parties agrees, jointly and severally, 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 30 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Company Parties shall not have reimbursed such Morgan Stanley Entity in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Company Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Morgan Stanley Entity is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Morgan Stanley Entity, unless (x) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Morgan Stanley Entities from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

 

34


(j) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (h) is unavailable to a Morgan Stanley Entity or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the Company Parties in lieu of indemnifying the Morgan Stanley Entity thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Morgan Stanley Entity as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (1) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company Parties on the one hand and the Morgan Stanley Entities on the other hand from the offering of the Directed Shares or (2) if the allocation provided by clause 9(j)(1) 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(j)(1) above but also the relative fault of the Company Parties on the one hand and of the Morgan Stanley 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 Parties on the one hand and the Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley 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 material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the Company Parties on the one hand and the Morgan Stanley 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 Parties or by the Morgan Stanley Entities and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(k) The Company Parties and the Morgan Stanley Entities agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (j) above were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Morgan Stanley 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 paragraph (j). The amount paid or payable by the Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley Entities in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (j), no Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley Entity has otherwise been required to pay. The remedies provided for in paragraphs (h) through (k) 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.

(l) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in paragraphs (g) through (j) 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 Morgan Stanley Entity or any Company Party, its officers or directors or any person controlling a Company Party and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Directed Shares.

10. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

11. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option Shares, prior to the Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or

 

35


guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

12. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Shares by other persons satisfactory to the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Shares on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company and the Selling Stockholder may postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company, counsel for the Selling Stockholder or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Shares that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholder as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased on such date, then the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholder as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Shares to be purchased on such date, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholder shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase Shares on the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

 

36


(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to any Company Party, the Selling Stockholder or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

13. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company Parties, jointly and severally, will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Shares and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company Parties’ counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Shares under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) the cost of preparing stock certificates; (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent and any registrar; (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters not to exceed $195,000); (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company Parties in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; (x) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange and (xi) all of the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Directed Share Program and stamp duties, similar taxes or duties or other taxes, if any, incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Directed Share Program.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11, (ii) the Company or the Selling Stockholder for any reason fail to tender the Shares for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby; provided that, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 11, the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder shall have no obligation to reimburse a defaulting underwriter for such costs and expenses.

14. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred to in Section 9 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

 

37


15. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company Parties, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company Parties, the Selling Stockholder or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Shares and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company Parties, the Selling Stockholder or the Underwriters or the directors, officers, controlling persons or affiliates referred to in Section 9 hereof.

16. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, provided that such term shall not include any portfolio company or other investment held by any fund or other investment vehicle sponsored or managed by the Company or any of its affiliates.

17. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company Parties and the Selling Stockholder, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

Each Company Party and the Selling Stockholder agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such Company Party or Selling Stockholder and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such Company Party or Selling Stockholder is subject by a suit upon such judgment. The Selling Stockholder irrevocably appoints [•], located at [•], New York, New York, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to the Company or the Selling Stockholder, as the case may be, by the person serving the same to the address provided in this Section 18(c), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company and the Selling Stockholder in any such suit or proceeding.

This authorization shall remain in effect until the Issuer has provided to J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, TPG Capital BD and Morgan Stanley a written notice revoking this authorization.

Re: TPG Inc. — Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, propose to enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with TPG Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its Affiliates, providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”). The undersigned further understands that, prior to the consummation of the Public Offering, the Company will be authorized to issue, in addition to the Class A Common Stock, shares of its non-voting Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Non-Voting Class A Common Stock”) and shares of its Class B common stock, no par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and collectively with the Class A Common Stock and the Non-Voting Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.


“Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, such Person; provided, that (i) no investment fund, managed account or similar contractual agreement managed by TPG Operating Group I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, TPG Operating Group II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, TPG Operating Group III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG OG Partnerships”, and each, a “TPG OG Partnership”) or any subsidiary of the TPG OG Partnerships or portfolio company of any of them shall be considered an Affiliate of the Company or the TPG OG Partnerships for purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) none of the undersigned shall be deemed, solely as a result of the Transactions or its direct or indirect investment in the Company or the TPG OG Partnerships, to be an Affiliate of the Company, the TPG OG Partnerships or any subsidiary of the TPG OG Partnerships for purposes of this Agreement. “Affiliated” shall have a correlative meaning.

In such examination, we have assumed that the Certificate of Incorporation that will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware will be substantially identical to the form of the Certificate of Incorporation reviewed by us, the Bylaws that will be in effect at the time of the consummation of the initial public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement will be substantially identical to the form of the Bylaws reviewed by us, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Underwriting Agreement, and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

PERFORMANCE ALLOCATIONS

Section 2.1. Contribution of Carried Interest.

(a) Identified Funds.

(i) TPG OG I hereby contributes to RemainCo I an equity interest in the Carry Vehicle of each Identified Fund formed before the date hereof held by TPG OG I, which will (A) entitle RemainCo I to a portion of the Carried Interest received by such Carry Vehicle with respect to such Identified Fund equal to the RemainCo Base Entitlement and (B) obligate RemainCo I to contribute to such Carry Vehicle any RemainCo Clawback Obligation of such Identified Fund that corresponds to such equity interest.

 

7


(ii) TPG OG II hereby contributes to RemainCo II an equity interest in the Carry Vehicle of each Identified Fund formed before the date hereof held by TPG OG II, which will (A) entitle RemainCo II to a portion of the Carried Interest received by such Carry Vehicle with respect to such Identified Fund equal to the RemainCo Base Entitlement and (B) obligate RemainCo II to contribute to such Carry Vehicle any RemainCo Clawback Obligation of such Identified Fund that corresponds to such equity interest.

(iii) TPG OG III hereby contributes to RemainCo III an equity interest in the Carry Vehicle of each Identified Fund formed before the date hereof held by TPG OG III an equity interest in such Carry Vehicle which will (A) entitle RemainCo III to a portion of the Carried Interest received by such Carry Vehicle with respect to such Identified Fund equal to the RemainCo Base Entitlement and (B) obligate RemainCo III to contribute to such Carry Vehicle any RemainCo Clawback Obligation of such Identified Fund that corresponds to such equity interest.

(b) The TPG OG Partnerships hereby contribute to the RemainCo Partnerships the right to receive the RemainCo Base Entitlement with respect to each Identified Fund formed after the date hereof, each Future Fund and each Split Fund, subject to the obligation to contribute the RemainCo Clawback Obligation in respect of such Funds. It is the intent of the parties hereto that each of RemainCo I, RemainCo II and RemainCo III will receive the respective portion of such rights and obligations that would have been received by TPG OG I, TPG OG II and TPG OG III, respectively, if this Section 2.1(b) were not in effect.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent necessary to ensure each RemainCo Partnership receives the interest contemplated by Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b), the TPG OG Partnerships shall cause the TPG Funds to be organized and operated in a manner consistent with past practice and shall cause the organizational documents of each of its applicable subsidiaries to be amended to provide for the issuance of equity in such subsidiaries to the RemainCo Partnerships to give effect to the foregoing.

(d) The contributions contemplated by this Section 2.1 are intended to be treated eligible for non-recognition treatment under Section 721 of the Code and each party shall report the contributions accordingly.

Section 2.2. Performance Allocation Increases; Shortfall Loans.

(a) The RemainCo Partnerships hereby acknowledge and agree that, with respect to the calendar years 2022, 2023 and 2024, if the aggregate Carried Interest distributable in respect of the Promote Units for such calendar year is less than the Target for such calendar year (the delta between the Target and such amount, the “Shortfall”) (and, upon request by a limited partner in the RemainCo Partnerships, the TPG OG Partnerships shall provide reasonable supporting evidence for the calculation of such Shortfall), the TPG OG Partnerships (as determined by the Chief Executive Officer of PubCorp) may, pursuant to the organizational documents of the applicable Carry Vehicles, require such Carry Vehicles to distribute, directly or indirectly, additional amounts to the TPG OG Partnerships from amounts that would otherwise be distributable

 

8


to the RemainCo Partnerships (the “Adjusted Carried Interest”) for such calendar year by an amount equal to the Shortfall for such year plus $10,000,000 (such amount determined by the Chief Executive Officer of PubCorp, the “Required Additional Performance Earnings”); provided that Required Additional Performance Earnings may not exceed $40,000,000 in any calendar year. Absent a determination by the TPG OG Partnerships to the contrary, the Adjusted Carried Interest shall be effected using Carried Interest from portfolio investments with the longest holding period.

(b) If the Required Additional Performance Earnings exceed the amount of Adjusted Carried Interest available to be distributed to the TPG OG Partnerships pursuant to Section 2.2(a), (i) the RemainCo Partnerships shall make a loan to the holders of the Promote Units in an amount equal to such excess (the “RemainCo Loan”), which shall be apportioned between the RemainCo Partnerships in the discretion of the general partner of the RemainCo Partnerships and (ii) an amount equal to such excess shall be treated as an additional Shortfall in the following year and shall (regardless of the year, but subject to the proviso to Section 2.2(a)) give rise to distributions under Section 2.2(a). The terms of any RemainCo Loan shall require the borrower thereunder to repay such loan to the applicable RemainCo Partnership(s) out of Carried Interest received in the following year (or years) and shall otherwise be on arm’s length terms.

Section 2.3. Determinations of Performance Allocations of New Funds.

(a) With respect to any New Fund, PubCorp shall determine in good faith, acting reasonably and in accordance with Section 2.3(b), whether such Fund is (i) primarily attributable to the Counterparty (in which case it shall be deemed an Excluded Fund), (ii) primarily attributable to TPG (in which case it shall be deemed a Future Fund) or (iii) falls into neither of the categories (i) or (ii) (any such Fund, a “Split Fund”), in each case, based upon the factors set forth in the New Fund Determination Principles set forth on Exhibit B, with those factors under the heading “First Tier” being given the most weight and those factors under the heading “Third Tier” being given the least weight in such determination.

(b) With respect to a determination by PubCorp contemplated by Section 2.3(a), PubCorp shall follow the following process: (i) first, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of PubCorp shall make a recommendation to the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of PubCorp as to the appropriate attribution of such New Fund in accordance with Section 2.3(a), (ii) second, the Conflicts Committee of the PubCorp Board of Directors shall review such recommendation and make a final determination as to the appropriate treatment of such Fund under Section 2.3(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the determination contemplated by this Section 2.3 with respect to a New Fund shall establish the RemainCo Base Entitlement of such New Fund.

Section 2.4. Adjustments for Third Party Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any Third Party forfeits any Carried Interest in a Future Fund, Identified Fund or Split Fund (e.g., due to such Third Party departing prior to the vesting of the applicable interests), then such forfeited Carried Interest shall be re-allocated pro rata to the Person or Persons whose entitlement to such Carried Interest was diluted by such allocation to the Third Party.

Section 3.1. Clawback Maintenance. The RemainCo Partnerships hereby agree not to make distributions (other than tax distributions) unless, after giving pro forma effect to such distributions, the RemainCo Partnerships, in aggregate, have a net asset value (calculated assuming that all outstanding RemainCo Loans, if any, have been repaid in full) equal to 150% of the hypothetical maximum Clawback Obligation as disclosed under GAAP.

(a) With respect to each TPG Fund, RemainCo I shall be responsible for the RemainCo Clawback Obligations that correspond to the equity interests received by RemainCo I from TPG OG I pursuant to ARTICLE 2, RemainCo II shall be responsible for the RemainCo Clawback Obligations that correspond to the equity interests received by RemainCo II from TPG OG II pursuant to ARTICLE 2 and RemainCo III shall be responsible for the RemainCo Clawback Obligations that correspond to the equity interests received by RemainCo III from TPG OG III pursuant to ARTICLE 2, and in each case, the organizational documents of the applicable Carry Vehicles shall provide that the applicable RemainCo Partnership is the primary obligor with respect to such RemainCo Clawback Obligations. Each TPG OG Partnership shall be responsible for its respective TPG OG Clawback Obligations with respect to each TPG Fund.

(b) In furtherance thereof, each RemainCo Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the corresponding TPG OG Partnership for any RemainCo Clawback Obligations that are borne by such TPG OG Partnership and each TPG OG Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the corresponding RemainCo Partnership for any TPG OG Clawback Obligations that are borne by such RemainCo Partnership.

(c) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.2(b), each RemainCo Partnership hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to TPG Holdings that, if such RemainCo Partnership fails to perform and discharge, promptly when due, any RemainCo Clawback Obligations under the applicable organizational documents of the GenPar, then such RemainCo Partnership shall forthwith, upon demand (which demand shall be for the sole purpose of providing notice to such RemainCo Partnership and shall not require Holdings to exhaust any remedy before proceeding against such RemainCo Partnership), perform and discharge the applicable RemainCo Clawback Obligations or reimburse TPG Holdings for performing and discharging such RemainCo Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, each RemainCo Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless TPG Holdings for any RemainCo Clawback Obligations that are borne by TPG Holdings. TPG Holdings is a beneficiary of the guarantee and indemnity provided in this Section 3.2(c) with the right to enforce it to the extent provided herein.

 

10


(d) In the event any RemainCo Partnership is unable to satisfy its applicable RemainCo Clawback Obligations pursuant to Section 3.2(a), Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.2(c), the other RemainCo Partnerships shall guarantee performance of such first RemainCo Partnership’s obligations on a joint and several basis.

(e) Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d), the obligations of each RemainCo Partnership under this Section 3.2 are several and not joint with the obligations of any other RemainCo Partnership, and no RemainCo Partnership shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other RemainCo Partnership.

Section 3.3. Clawback Obligation Reporting. For as long as any RemainCo Partnership is responsible for any RemainCo Clawback Obligations, the TPG OG Partnerships shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates and the relevant TPG Funds to):

(a) deliver to each RemainCo Partnership a calculation of such RemainCo Partnership’s hypothetical maximum Clawback Obligation with respect to each TPG Fund prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of financial reports pursuant to Section 3.03(b) of the governing document of the applicable RemainCo Partnership; and

(b) provide the RemainCo Partnerships and its advisors with reasonable access to any and all books and records relevant to the calculation of the RemainCo Clawback Obligations as of any date of determination, including reasonable access to any and all work papers, personnel or accountants used by the TPG OG Partnerships, TPG Funds or their respective Affiliates in connection therewith, including in connection with making any distributions that are subject to Section 3.1, preparing and filing or delivering, as applicable, all financial, tax or other reports required under such RemainCo Partnership’s governing documents, or any disputes, audits or other proceedings with respect to RemainCo Clawback Obligations or any of the foregoing. Such cooperation shall include the retention (for no less than six (6) years following the applicable report provided in Section 3.3(a)), and (upon a RemainCo Partnership’s reasonable request) the provision, as soon as reasonably practicable, of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such request and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis during regular business hours to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(b) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any dispute regarding the validity or termination of this Agreement, or the performance or breach hereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the arbitration.

12

(d) Except as may be required by applicable law or court order, the parties agree to maintain confidentiality as to all aspects of any arbitration arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including any such arbitration’s existence and results, except that nothing herein shall prevent a party from disclosing information regarding such arbitration for purposes of enforcing the award or this arbitration clause, or in any court proceeding requesting the issuance of provisional remedies.

WHEREAS, the limited partnership agreements of certain of the Underlying Entities listed under the column labeled “Underlying Entity” on Schedule A (to the extent such Underlying Entities are limited partnerships) were amended pursuant to that certain Omnibus Amendment to GenPar Limited Partnership Agreements, dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to which each such general partnership interest was divided into a limited partnership interest and a general partnership interest, in advance of the contribution of such limited partnership interest pursuant to this Agreement;

WHEREAS, prior to the Effective Date, TPG Holdings II Sub, L.P. has distributed certain of its assets to TPG OG II;

WHEREAS, each TPG OG Partnership owns, directly or indirectly, interests in the Underlying Entity listed opposite to such TPG OG Partnership’s name under the column labeled “Underlying Entity” on Schedule A that consist of a limited partner interest, a limited liability company interest or other similar equity interest in the Underlying Entity and/or capital commitments or contributions in respect of the Underlying Entity made by such TPG OG Partnership, directly or indirectly, in the Underlying Entity (each such interest, a “Contributed Interest”);


WHEREAS, each Transferor is wholly owned by one of the TPG OG Partnerships and disregarded as an entity separate from such TPG OG Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

WHEREAS, each TPG OG Partnership wishes to contribute the applicable Contributed Interest to the RemainCo Partnership listed opposite the name of such Contributed Interest on Schedule A effective as of the Effective Date (the “Contributions”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Contributions.

Section 3. Intended Tax Treatment.
