(b)          If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will give the Representatives prompt notice of the occurrence of such event and promptly will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance.

(d)          The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto (other than documents incorporated by reference therein) which shall have become effective on or prior to the Closing Date and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto (other than documents incorporated by reference therein) as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(e)          The Company will take such action as the Representatives may reasonably request to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably request, and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided, that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction or to file a consent or otherwise subject itself to service of process or taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not already so subject.

(f)          Until the earlier of the day on which the distribution of the Securities is completed and the business day following the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the consent of the Representatives, offer or sell, or announce the offering of, any debt securities covered by the Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed under the Act which mature more than one year after the date hereof and which are substantially similar to the Securities, except any proposed issuances of debt securities with respect to which the Company has advised the Representatives in writing prior to the execution hereof.

(g)          The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action intended to result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(h)          The Company will prepare a final term sheet, if required, containing a description of the Securities in compliance with Rule 164(e)(2), in a form approved by the Representatives and will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

(i)          If there occurs an event or development as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to supplement the Disclosure Package to comply with the Act, the Company will notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented and the Company will promptly file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 4, any amendments or supplements to the Disclosure Package that will correct such statement or omission or will effect such compliance.

(j)          If there occurs an event or development as a result of which an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, the Company will notify promptly the Representatives.

(k)          Unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representatives, the Company will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433, other than the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 4(A)(h) hereof; provided, that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in Schedule III hereto.  Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”  The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(c)          The Representatives shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions and 10b-5 statement, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.

(d)          The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate signed by an officer of the Company reasonably acceptable to the Representatives, dated the Closing Date, to the effect:

(i)          the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date, in each case, unless otherwise waived by the Representatives;

(ii)          no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended, or any notice that would prevent its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(e)          On the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter or letters dated as of such respective delivery date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus; provided, that the letters delivered shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to each respective delivery date.

6.          Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)          The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its respective affiliates, agents, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 4(A)(h) hereof, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred, as such expenses are incurred, by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

(b)          Each Underwriter severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.  The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the third paragraph, the third sentence of the fifth paragraph, and the tenth paragraph, under the heading “Underwriting” of the Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters (the “Underwriter Information”), and you, as the Representatives, confirm that such statements are correct.

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 6, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to represent the indemnified party in such action; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to appoint counsel to defend such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), approved by the Representatives in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 6, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).  The indemnifying person 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 person agrees to indemnify each indemnified person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity was sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action 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.

(d)          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is due in accordance with its terms but is insufficient for, or for any reason held by a court to be unavailable to, the Company or the Underwriters, on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which 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 shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) 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 this subsection (d).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (y) in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and (z) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each affiliate, agent, director or officer of each Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (y) and (z) of this paragraph (d).  Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify in writing such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d).  The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth on Schedule II hereto, and not joint.

7.          Default by an Underwriter.  If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters of that series of Securities shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto for that particular series of Securities bears to the aggregate amount of such Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of all of the Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the provisions of Sections 4(B)(a), 4(B)(b), 4(B)(c), 6, 9 and 12 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.  In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 7, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

8.          Termination.  This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on The New York Stock Exchange or trading of the Company’s common stock on The New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities, (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing any major disruption of settlements of securities clearance services in the United States or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities.

9.          Representations and Indemnities to Survive.  The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities, rights of contribution and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7 or if for any reason the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company and the Underwriters shall remain responsible for their respective expenses and reimbursements pursuant to Section 4 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 shall remain in effect.

10.          Notices.  All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to them, at (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co.

Offering Restrictions

Each of the Underwriters severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees it will not offer, sell, or deliver any of the Securities, directly or indirectly, or distribute the Preliminary Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or any other offering material relating to the Securities, in or from any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations and that will not impose any obligations on the Company, except as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement to which this Schedule VI is attached. The Underwriters also agree to abide by the following offering restrictions:

Prohibition of Sales to European Economic Area (“EEA”) Retail Investors

Each Underwriter severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell, or otherwise make available any Securities to any retail investor in the EEA. For purposes of this provision:

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Prohibition of Sales to United Kingdom (“U.K.”) Retail Investors

Each Underwriter severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell, or otherwise make available any Securities to any retail investor in the UK. For purposes of this provision:

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “U.K. PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the U.K. has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the U.K. may be unlawful under the U.K. PRIIPs Regulation.
