▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

As Representative of the several Underwriters

Dear Sirs:

Health Care Property Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with each of the Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom UBS Securities LLC is acting as representative (the “Representative”), with respect to the issue and sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.65% Senior Notes Due 2013 (the “Securities”). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated September 1, 1993 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The term “Indenture,” as used herein, includes the Officers’ Certificate (as defined in the Indenture) establishing the form and terms of the Securities pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-137225), which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “1933 Act Regulations”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Such registration statement covers the registration of the Securities (among others) under the 1933 Act. Such registration statement, in the form in which it became effective, as amended through the date hereof, including the information deemed pursuant to Rule 430B under the 1933 Act Regulations to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430B Information”) and all documents incorporated or deemed to be

incorporated by reference therein through the date hereof, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The Company proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations the Prospectus Supplement (as defined in Section 3(k) hereof) relating to the Securities and the prospectus dated September 8, 2006 (the “Base Prospectus”), and has previously advised you of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company set forth therein. The Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement, in their respective forms on the date hereof (being the forms in which they are to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations), including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein through the date hereof, are hereinafter referred to as, collectively, the “Prospectus,” except that if any revised prospectus or prospectus supplement shall be provided to the Underwriters by the Company for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities which differs from the Prospectus (whether or not such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement is required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations), the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, as the case may be, from and after the time it is first provided to the Underwriters for such use. The term “Pre-Pricing Prospectus,” as used in this Agreement, means the preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 29, 2006 and filed with the Commission on November 29, 2006 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, together with the Base Prospectus used with such preliminary prospectus supplement in connection with the marketing of the Securities, in each case as amended or supplemented by the Company. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Agreement to documents, financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “stated,” “described in” or “referred to” in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such documents, financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), after the date of this Agreement which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the Representative deems advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (such time, the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively the “Time of Sale Information”): the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) listed on Exhibit B hereto.

Section 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Representation Date”), as of the Time of Sale, and as of Closing Time referred to in Section 2 as follows:

(i) Pre-Pricing Prospectus. No order preventing or suspending the use of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Pre-Pricing Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the 1933 Act and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection (i) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Pre-Pricing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in any Pre-Pricing Prospectus.

(ii) Time of Sale Information. The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale did not, and at Closing Time will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection (ii) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Time of Sale Information made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in such Time of Sale Information. No statement of material fact included (or to be included) in the Prospectus will be omitted from the Time of Sale Information and no statement of material fact included in the Time of Sale Information that is required to be included in the Prospectus will be omitted therefrom.

(iii) Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not prepared, made, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Company or its agents and representatives other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such (other than a communication referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) below) an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) other than (A) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the 1933 Act or Rule 134 of the 1933 Act Regulations, (B) the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, (C) the Prospectus, (D) the documents listed on Exhibit B hereto as constituting the Time of Sale Information and (E) any electronic road show or other written communications, in each case approved in writing in advance by the Representative. Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied in all material respects with the 1933 Act, has been or will be (within the time period specified in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations) filed (to the extent required thereby) in accordance with the 1933 Act and when taken together with the Pre-Pricing Prospectus accompanying, or delivered prior to delivery of, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, did not, and at Closing Time will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection (iii) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the

Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representative as described in Section 3(f), did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Pre-Pricing Prospectus that has not been superseded or modified.

(iv) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations has been received by the Company. Each of the Registration Statement and the Base Prospectus, at the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became effective and as of the Representation Date, complied and comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations (including Rule 415(a) of the 1933 Act Regulations), and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1939 Act (the “1939 Act Regulations”), and did not and as of the Representation Date and at Closing Time do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act against the Company or related to the offering of the Securities have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. The Prospectus, at the Representation Date (unless the term “Prospectus” refers to a prospectus which has been provided to the Underwriters by the Company for use in connection with the offering of the Securities which differs from the Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, in which case at the time it is first provided to the Underwriters for such use) and at Closing Time, does not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection (iv) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or the information contained in any Statement of Eligibility and Qualification of a trustee under the 1939 Act filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (a “Form T-1”). For purposes of this Section 1(a), all references to the Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments thereto and the Prospectus shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the

(xvi) Authorization of Underwriting Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, upon execution and delivery by the Underwriters, will be a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company.

(xvii) Authorization of Indenture. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditor’s rights generally or by general equitable principles.

(xx) Seniority of the Securities. The Securities rank and will rank on a parity with all unsecured indebtedness (other than subordinated indebtedness) of the Company that is outstanding on the date hereof or that may be incurred hereafter, and senior to all subordinated indebtedness of the Company that is outstanding on the date hereof or that may be incurred hereafter.

(xxi) Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have good title to all real property or interests in real property owned by it or any of them in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are stated in or included in documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or such as would not materially adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; and at the time the Company and its subsidiaries first acquired title or such interest in such real property, the Company and its subsidiaries obtained satisfactory confirmations (consisting of policies of title insurance or commitments or binders therefor, opinions of counsel based upon the examination of abstracts, or other evidence deemed appropriate by the Company under the circumstances) confirming the foregoing. To the best knowledge of the Company, the instruments securing its real estate mortgage loans in favor of the Company and its subsidiaries create valid liens upon the real properties described in such instruments enjoying the priorities intended, subject only to exceptions to title which have no material adverse effect on the value of such interests in relation to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; and at the time the Company and its subsidiaries first acquired an interest in such real estate mortgage loans, the Company and its subsidiaries obtained satisfactory confirmations (consisting of policies of title insurance or commitments or binders therefor, opinions of counsel based upon the examination of abstracts, or other evidence deemed appropriate by the Company under the circumstances).

(xxii) Investment Company Act. The Company is not required to be registered, and, after giving effect to the offering contemplated hereby and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, will not be required to be registered, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

(xxiii) Rating of the Securities. The Securities are currently rated “Baa3” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. and “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group.

(xxiv) Pending Proceedings and Examinations. The Registration Statement is not the subject of a pending proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act, and the Company is not the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(xxv) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the filings made by the Company with the Commission which it may make under Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act are being prepared, (ii) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal year and (iii) are effective at a reasonable assurance level to perform the functions for which they were established.

(xxvi) Internal Control. The Company has established and maintains “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that (i) are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and (ii) have been evaluated by the management of the Company (including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) for effectiveness as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal year. In addition, not later than the date of the filing with the Commission of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, each of the accountants and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company had been advised of (x) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (y) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such controls and procedures, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(xxvii) Status Under the 1933 Act. The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” and is a “well-known seasoned issuer,” in each case as defined in the 1933 Act, in each case at the times specified in the 1933 Act in connection with the offering the Securities.

(xxviii) Acquisition. To the knowledge of the Company, the representations and warranties contained in paragraph (vii) of this Section 1 are true and correct with respect to the financial statements and any supporting schedules of CNL and its consolidated subsidiaries and CNL Retirement Corp. (the “Advisor”) and its consolidated subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus; except where the failure to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise.

(b) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Representative or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to the matters covered thereby.

(b) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Securities shall be made at the office of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-1925 or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, at 7:00 a.m., California time, on December 4, 2006, or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Closing Time”).

UBS Securities LLC, individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Securities to be purchased by any Underwriter whose check has not been received by Closing Time, but such payment shall not release such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder. The certificates for the Securities will be made available for examination and packaging by the Representative not later than 10:00 a.m. on the last business day prior to Closing Time in New York, New York.

The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company will notify the Representative immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (i) of the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) of the mailing or the delivery to the Commission for filing of the Prospectus or any amendment to the Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any document to be filed pursuant to the 1934 Act during any period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations in connection with sales of the Securities (or required to be

delivered but for Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), (iii) of the receipt of any comments or inquiries from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information, (v) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act, (vi) of the occurrence of any event at any time as a result of which the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (viii) of the issuance by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or the exemption from qualification of the Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance by the Commission of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification or exemption of the Securities and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. The Company will provide the Underwriters with copies of the form of Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in such numbers as the Underwriters may reasonably request, and file or transmit for filing with the Commission such Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including the pricing term sheet in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Term Sheet”)) to the extent required by Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations by the close of business in New York on the second business day immediately succeeding the date hereof. The Company will pay the registration fees for this offering within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Regulations (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and in any event prior to Closing Time.

(b) Filing of Amendments. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will give the Representative notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (including any revised prospectus which the Company proposes for use by the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities that differs from the prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, whether or not such revised prospectus is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations), will furnish the Representative with copies of any such amendment or supplement a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or use any such prospectus to which the Representative or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

(c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Before making, preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related to the Securities,

whether before or after the time that the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for review and will not make, prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which the Representative reasonably object.

(d) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company will deliver to the Representative as many signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) as the Representative may reasonably request and will also deliver to the Representative as many conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein but without exhibits filed therewith) as the Representative may reasonably request.

(e) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, from time to time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the respective applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(f) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or counsel for the Company, to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, the Company will forthwith amend or supplement the Prospectus (in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters) so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters a reasonable number of copies of such amendment or supplement. If, in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus at any time subsequent to the expiration of nine months after the first date of the public offering of the Securities, the Underwriters shall bear the expense of preparing, filing and furnishing any such amendment or supplement. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus through Closing Time there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Pre-Pricing Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(g) Time of Sale Information. If at any time prior to Closing Time (A) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state

any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading or (B) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Representative thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representative may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Information as may be necessary so that the statements in the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

(h) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the Representative may designate; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified. In each jurisdiction in which the Securities shall have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of the Securities.

(i) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) covering the twelve month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the “effective date” (as defined in said Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

(j) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner to be specified in the Prospectus Supplement under “Use of Proceeds.”

(k) Preparation of Prospectus Supplement. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will prepare a prospectus supplement, dated the date hereof (the “Prospectus Supplement”), containing the terms of the Securities, the plan of distribution thereof and such other information as may be required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or as the Representative and the Company deem appropriate, and will file or transmit for filing with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations copies of the Prospectus (including such Prospectus Supplement).

(l) Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, will file promptly all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.

(m) Lock-up Period. The Company, during the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including Closing Time, will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Securities (other than (i) the Securities or (ii) commercial

paper issued in the ordinary course of business), without the prior written consent of the Representative.

(n) Record Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations.

Section 4. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including (i) the printing and filing of the Indenture and the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, and the Time of Sale Information, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities; (iii) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Securities; (iv) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the certificates for the Securities to the Underwriters, (v) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants, (vi) the qualification of the Securities under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(h) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fee and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of a Blue Sky Survey, (vii) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (viii) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of the Blue Sky Survey and (ix) any fees or expenses of a depositary in connection with holding the securities in book-entry form.

If this Agreement is cancelled or terminated by the Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 or Section 9(a)(i) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters.

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h) under the 1933 Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(a) under the 1933 Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including, subject to Section 6(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or made in reliance upon the Trustee’s Form T-1 filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus or any Pre-Pricing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein.

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give written notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with

the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) ▇▇▇▇▇. For purposes of this Section 6, all references to the Registration Statement, any Pre-Pricing Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇.

Section 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (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 hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement 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) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the

offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such 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 by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it were offered exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters.

Section 9. Termination.

(a) The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable to market the Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ National Market has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by the NASDAQ National Market or by order of the Commission, the NASD or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal, New York, Maryland or California authorities. As used in this Section 9(a), the term “Prospectus” means the Prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding any such termination, the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 7 and 8 shall remain in effect.

Section 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

Section 11. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that:

(a) It has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the plan for use of, any “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Exhibit B or prepared pursuant to Section 1(a)(iii) or Section 3(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved in writing by the Company in advance of the use of such free writing prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use a term sheet substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto without the consent of the Company.

(b) It is not subject to any pending proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act with respect to the offering (and will promptly notify the Company if any such proceeding against it is initiated during the Prospectus Delivery Period).

Section 12. Notices.

Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices required under the terms and provisions hereof shall be in writing, either delivered by hand, by mail or by telex, telecopier or telegram, and any such notice shall be effective when received at the address specified below.
