Luxembourg) under number B217592 (the “Company”) and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mohawk Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), proposes to issue and sell €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor (the “Guarantee” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) to the underwriter(s) (the “Underwriters”) named in Schedule 1 attached to this agreement (this “Agreement”) for whom BNP Paribas, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities plc and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ International are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”). The

Securities will be issued pursuant to a Senior Indenture, dated as of September 11, 2017, among the Company, the Parent Guarantor and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Fourth Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of the Delivery Date, among the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee, as Trustee, Registrar and Transfer Agent, and Elavon Financial Services DAC, as Paying Agent (the “London Paying Agent”) (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). In connection with the issuance of the Securities, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will enter into a Paying Agency Agreement to be dated June 12, 2020 (the “Paying Agency Agreement”), among the Company, the Parent Guarantor, Elavon Financial Services DAC, as London Paying Agent, and the Trustee, as Trustee, Transfer Agent and Registrar.

(h) With respect to the letter of KPMG LLP referred to in Section 7(g) above, and delivered to the Representatives concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “initial KPMG letter”), the Parent Guarantor shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter (the “bring-down KPMG letter”) of such accountants, addressed

(ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued; no proceedings or examination for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of such persons, threatened; and the Commission has not notified the Company or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, of any objection to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto; and

(iii) They have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package, and, in their opinion, (A) (1) the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, (2) the Prospectus, as of its date and on the Delivery Date, or (3) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, did not and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and (B) since the Effective Date, no event has occurred that should have been set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that has not been so set forth.

(j) The Underwriters shall have received an executed copy of the Paying Agency Agreement and the ICSD Agreement.

(l) The Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through Clearstream and Euroclear.

(m) Except as described in each of the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, (i) neither the Parent Guarantor, nor any of its subsidiaries, including the Company, shall have sustained, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree or (ii) since such date there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company, or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, stockholders’ equity, properties, management, business or prospects of the Parent Guarantor and its subsidiaries, including the Company, taken as a whole, the effect of which, in any such case described in clauses (i) or (ii), is, in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities being delivered on the Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(n) Since the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any downgrading with respect to any debt securities of the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company, by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading of such rating).

occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities after the date hereof (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the European Union or United States shall be such), as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the Securities being delivered on the Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and affiliates and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Securities), to which that Underwriter, director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (C) any Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) used or referred to by any Underwriter or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Parent Guarantor shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 8(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Company or the Parent Guarantor may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person of that Underwriter.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Parent Guarantor, their respective directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Parent Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company, the Parent Guarantor, or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 8(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company or the Parent Guarantor or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Representatives shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Representatives and those other Underwriters and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which

indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters against the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, under this Section 8 if (i) the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, and the Underwriters shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters; (iii) the Underwriters and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Underwriters or their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Parent Guarantor, 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 and the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the

Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Parent Guarantor, and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were to be 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 into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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 as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company and the Parent Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the statements regarding delivery of the Securities by the Underwriters set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and the two paragraphs relating to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and over-allotments by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

9. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the Securities that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on the Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the total principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-

defaulting Underwriters in Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Securities on the Delivery Date if the total principal amount of the Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the total principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on the Delivery Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the principal amount of the Securities that it agreed to purchase on the Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 4. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Securities to be purchased on the Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives do not elect to purchase the Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Delivery Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company, or the Parent Guarantor, except that the Company and the Parent Guarantor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 6 and 11. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 9, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company and the Parent Guarantor for damages caused by its default. If other Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the Representatives or the Company may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement.

10. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(m), 7(n) and 7(o) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

11. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company and the Parent Guarantor shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the Parent Guarantor to perform any agreement on its part to be performed, or because any other condition to the Underwriters’ obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company or the Parent Guarantor is not fulfilled for any reason or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company or the Parent Guarantor shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, neither the Company nor the Parent Guarantor shall be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.

12. BRRD.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company or the Parent Guarantor may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or the Parent Guarantor by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. Each of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, Fitch and S&P is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) no 1060/2009 (the “CRA Regulation”). As such, each of the rating agencies is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website in accordance with the CRA Regulation as of the date of this pricing term sheet.

Schedule 2 - 2

** We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date which will be on or about the third business day following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-l of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to two business days before the date of delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering.

5. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Parent Guarantor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Company under the laws of Luxembourg, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company and the Parent Guarantor enforceable against the Company and the Parent Guarantor in accordance with its terms, and the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

The issue and sale of the Securities by the Parent Guarantor and the compliance by the Parent Guarantor with all of the provisions of the Securities, the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Paying Agency Agreement and the consummation by the Parent Guarantor of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement did not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license or other agreement or instrument set forth on Schedule A hereto, nor did or will such actions result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or Restated Bylaws, as amended, of the Parent Guarantor, nor did or will such actions by the Company or the Parent Guarantor result in any violation of any provision of Applicable Law.

Exhibit A-1-1

No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization, or other action by, or filing with any United States federal, Georgia state, New York state or Delaware state court or governmental agency or body is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company and the Parent Guarantor of, and performance of each of the Company’s and Parent Guarantor’s obligations under, the Transaction Documents, except for those already obtained and completed and those that may be required under state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by you as underwriters and the approval of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in connection with the listing of the Notes on such exchange.

9. The statements set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus Supplement under the captions “Description of Notes” and “Description of Debt Securities,” insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Securities, and under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws referred to therein, fairly and accurately summarize in all material respects the matters referred to therein.

10. Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package, will not be, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

11. The Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act as of the date it was filed with the Commission, and to our knowledge, based solely upon our review of the Commission’s website, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding or examination for such purpose has been instituted or threatened by the Commission.

13. To our knowledge, neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to the registration of any securities of the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company.

14. To our knowledge and other than as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement and the Pricing Disclosure Package, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company, is a party or of which any property of the Parent Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries, including the Company, is the subject which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or threatened by others.

1. the Registration Statement, on the date of the Underwriting Agreement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

2. the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of [•] [p.m.], London time, on [•], 2020, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

provided, however, that we do not express any belief herein with respect to the financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom, assessments of or reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or auditors’ reports on internal controls.
