Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee).
The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the

statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-54610), including a prospectus (the Basic Prospectus),

Company. The Company has also filed, or proposes to file, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424
under the Securities Act a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities (the
Prospectus Supplement). The registration statement, as amended at the date of this Agreement,
including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities
Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (Rule 430

Statement; and as used herein, the term Prospectus means the Basic Prospectus as supplemented by
the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used (or made
available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection
with confirmation of sales of the Securities and the term Preliminary Prospectus means the
preliminary prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities together with the Basic
Prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such
terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be
deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12
of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the
date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to
amend, amendment or supplement with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such
date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (the Exchange Act) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term Effective Time means the effective date of the
Registration Statement with respect to the offering of Securities, as determined for the Company
pursuant to Section 11 of the Securities Act and Item 512 of Regulation S-K, as applicable.

circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it
is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately

circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that
the Prospectus will comply with law and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) 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

to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives 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.
(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will cooperate with the Representatives and counsel for
the Underwriters to qualify or register the Securities for
15
offer and sale under (or obtain exemptions from the application of) the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the

consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any

a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring

as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under

agrees that
(a) It has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to or participate in the planning for
use of, any free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term

incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the
Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that contains no issuer information (as defined

the consent of the Company.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any
suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or
several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale
Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
19
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each of clauses (i) and (ii) except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating
to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the
Representatives expressly for use therein.
(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in
paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise
out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished
to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only
such information consists of the following: the third and sixth full paragraphs under the heading
Underwriters in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in
respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such
person (the Indemnified Person) shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnification may be sought (the Indemnifying Person) in writing; provided that the
failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided,
further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any
such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have
notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified
Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate
in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees
and expenses of counsel related to such proceeding as incurred. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Indemnifying Person
and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time
to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
20
defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any
such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the
Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to
any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be
reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates,
directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing
by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who
signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in
writing by the Company. 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested
that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45
days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall
have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 5 days prior to such settlement being
entered into and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement
(x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter
of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company 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) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on
21
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in
each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering
price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on
the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(e) Limitation on Liability. 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 (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or
by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a
result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred
by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such
Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters obligations
to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase
obligations hereunder and not joint.
(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person
at law or in equity.
8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the
Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited
on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq
22
Stock Market LLC; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have
been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak
or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either
within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and
adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of
the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale
Information and the Prospectus; or (v) the representation in Section 3(b) is incorrect in any
respect.
10. Defaulting Underwriter. (a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on
its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the
non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by
other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36
hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for
the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours
within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase
such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the
Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may
postpone the Closing Date for up to five 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 and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company
agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term Underwriter
includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not
listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a
defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as
provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains
unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities,
then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the
principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such
Underwriters pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such
Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as
provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains
unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal
23
amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall
terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company,
except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in
Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall
remain in effect.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may
have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.
11. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid

all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the

by the Company in connection with any road show presentation to potential investors.
(b) If (i) the Company fails to satisfy the conditions under Section 6 (other than delivery of
the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters pursuant to Section 6(h), (ii) this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 9(ii), (iii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9(v)
(other than if the Company and the Underwriters subsequently enter into another agreement for the
Underwriters to underwrite the same or substantially similar securities of the Company), or (iv)
the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters, the
Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the

Annex A-1
Form of Opinion of Fenwick & West LLP
(a) The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act and the
Indenture was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act as of the date and time specified in such
opinion; each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission
pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act specified in such opinion; and
to such counsels knowledge, based solely upon oral representations made to such counsel by the
Commission and the Company, no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has
been issued and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act
against the Company or in connection with the offering is pending or threatened by the Commission.
(b) The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than the
financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein and
that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility of the
Trustee on Form T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion) appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act; and the Indenture appeared on its face to be appropriately
responsive in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.
(c) The Company and each of its significant subsidiaries have been duly organized and are
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of
organization, are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each State of the
United States in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their
respective businesses requires such qualification, and have all power and authority necessary to
own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged,
except where the failure to be so qualified or have such power or authority would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) The authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus under the heading Capitalization.
(e) The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver each of
the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder; and all action required to be
taken by the Companys Board of Directors and shareholders for the due and proper authorization,
execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the
transactions provided for therein to be taken as of the Closing Date has been duly and validly
taken.
(f) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and,
assuming due execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a
30
valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance
with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.
(g) The Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when
duly authenticated as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided in this Agreement, will be
duly and validly issued and outstanding and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the
Enforceability Exceptions, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
(h) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(i) Each Transaction Document conforms in all material respects to the description thereof
contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
(j) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction
Documents, the issuance and sale of the Securities and compliance by the Company with the terms
thereof and the consummation of the transactions provided for in the Transaction Documents do not
(i) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property
or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any
of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that is specifically
listed on an attachment to such opinion1, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions
of the charter or by-laws of the Company or (iii) result in the violation of (A) any United States
federal, California state or New York state law or statute or rule or regulation of any United
States federal, California State or New York State governmental or regulatory authority, or (B) any
judgment, order of any court or arbitrator specifically naming the Company as being bound, in the
case of each of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any such breach or violation that would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any
United States federal or California State court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory
authority is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the Company to execute, deliver or
perform, as of the Closing Date, each of the Transaction Documents, to issue or sell the Securities
as of the Closing Date and for the Company to comply with the terms thereof and to consummate the
transactions provided for in the Transaction Documents, except for (i) the registration of the

31
may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and
distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters.
(l) To the knowledge of such counsel, (A) there are no governmental or regulatory
investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending, or threatened in writing delivered to the
Company, that are required under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement
and that are not so described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the
Prospectus, and (B) there are no contracts and other documents that are required under the
Securities Act to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus and that have not been so filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and
the Prospectus.
(m) The descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the
Prospectus of statutes, governmental and regulatory proceedings and contracts and other documents
are accurate in all material respects. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus
under the heading United States Tax Considerations and the statements incorporated by reference
in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus from Item 3 of Part I of the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006 to the extent that they constitute summaries
of matters of law or governmental regulation or legal conclusions, fairly summarize the matters
described therein in all material respects.
(n) The Company 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 Registration Statement, the Time of
Sale Information and the Prospectus, will not be required to register as an investment company or
an entity controlled by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.
Such counsel shall also state that they have participated in conferences with representatives
of the Company and with representatives of its independent accountants and counsel at which
conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the
Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto (including the documents incorporated by
reference therein) and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel assume no
responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Registration Statement, the Time
of Sale Information, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto (except to the extent
expressly provided above), nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to cause such counsel
to believe that the Registration Statement, at the Effective Time (as determined pursuant to item
512(b) of Regulation S-K, and including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B
or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the Effective Time), 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, that the Time of Sale Information, other
than any electronic road shows listed on Annex B to the Underwriting Agreement, as to which such
counsel expresses no belief, at the Time of Sale contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto as of its date and the Closing Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact
32
necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial
statements and schedules and other financial and related statistical data contained therein and
that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility of the
Trustee on Form T-1 under the Trust Indenture Act, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion).
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact on certificates of
responsible officers of the Company and public officials that are furnished to the Underwriters.
The opinion of Fenwick & West LLP described above shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the
request of the Company and shall so state therein.
33
