(including the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Memorandum”), which will consist of the Preliminary Memorandum with such changes therein as are required to reflect the information contained in the amendments

include any Guarantor) with respect to the Notes, or any political subdivision thereof or therein (each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), imposed on, assessed against, levied against or collected with respect to any holder of the Notes by any
such Taxing Jurisdiction on or in respect of principal, interest, premiums and penalties or other amounts payable under the Securities, or on account of the issue and sale, by the Companies or the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement, the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement or any payments hereunder or thereunder, except for Taxes of a holder of the Notes levied, imposed, deducted, charged, compulsorily lent or withheld by any jurisdiction where such holder
is incorporated, organized, formed or tax resident. 
 (vv) The fair value and present fair saleable value of the assets of
each of the Issuers and their respective subsidiaries exceeds, and immediately after the consummation of the issue and sale of the Securities and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will exceed, the
sum of its stated liabilities and identified contingent liabilities. None of the Companies or their respective subsidiaries is, and immediately after the consummation of the issue and sale of the Securities and the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents none of them will be, (x) left with unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business as it is proposed to be conducted, (y) unable to pay its debts (contingent or
otherwise) as they mature or (z) otherwise insolvent.

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to Holdings’
management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Holdings and its subsidiaries have carried out evaluations, with the participation of management, of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as
required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. 
 Any certificate signed by any officer of any of the Companies and delivered to the
Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Company, as to matters covered thereby, to each Initial Purchaser.

Issuers agree to sell to each Initial Purchaser, and each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Issuers, at a purchase price equal to 98.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, from
September 15, 2016 to the Closing Date, the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser’s name in Schedule I hereto.

 3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made at
10:00 A.M., New York City time, on September 15, 2016, or at such time on such later date (not later than September 22, 2016) as the Initial Purchasers shall designate, which date and time may be postponed among the Initial Purchasers
and the Issuers or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Initial Purchasers for
the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers against payment by the several Initial Purchasers of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the account specified by the

4. Offering by Initial Purchasers. Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to and agrees with the
Issuers that: 
 (a) It is a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Act (a “QIB”),
and an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Act and acknowledges that it is purchasing the Securities pursuant to a private sale exemption from registration under the Act. 

(b) It has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Securities except (i) to those it reasonably believes to
be qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Act) and that, in connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of such Securities is aware that such sale is being
made in reliance on Rule 144A or (ii) in accordance with the restrictions set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Each of the Initial Purchasers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires,
offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any such other material, in all cases at its own expense, except as provided in
Section 5(m). 
 (c) Neither it nor any person acting on its behalf has made or will make offers or sales of the
Securities in the United States by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in the United States or in any manner involving a public offering within the
meaning of Section 4(a) of the Act. 
 (d) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Issuers and, for the
purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 6(a) and 6(b), (i) counsel for the Companies and counsel for Holdings and (ii) counsel for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of such Initial Purchaser, and compliance of such Initial Purchaser with its agreements, contained in paragraphs 4(a) through (c), above, and such Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

  
 15 

 5. Agreements. The Companies, jointly and severally, agree with each Initial Purchaser
that: 
 (a) The Companies will furnish to each Initial Purchaser and to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, without charge,
during the period referred to in paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication and the Final Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto as they may reasonably request and each
as so delivered shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative. 
 (b) The Companies will not
amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum, other than by filing documents under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference therein, or distribute or refer to any Issuer Written Communication, in each case,
without the prior written consent of the Representative; provided, however, that prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by the Representative in its sole discretion),
Holdings and its subsidiaries will not file any document under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum unless, prior to such proposed filing, the Companies have furnished the
Representative with a copy of such document for their review and the Representative has not reasonably objected to the filing of such document. The Companies will promptly advise the Initial Purchasers when any document filed under the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum shall have been filed with the Commission. The Companies will promptly, upon the reasonable request of the Representative or counsel for the Initial
Purchasers, make any amendments or supplements to the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum that may be necessary or advisable in connection with the resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers. 

(c) If at any time prior to the completion of the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by the
Representative), (i) any governmental or regulatory authority issues any order preventing or suspending the use of any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum or (ii) any event occurs as a result of which the Pricing
Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, or if it should be necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication or the Final Memorandum
to comply with applicable law, the Companies will promptly (i) notify the Initial Purchasers of any such event; (ii) subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section 5, prepare an amendment or supplement that will
correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented or amended Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Written Communication or the Final Memorandum to the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial
Purchasers without charge in such quantities as they may reasonably request. 

  
 16 

 (d) To the extent a Company may do so under applicable law, the Companies will
arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale by the Initial Purchasers under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as
required for the sale of the Securities; provided that in no event shall any Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified, to execute a general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction with respect to which such a consent has not been previously executed or to subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be subject to tax but for the requirements of this paragraph. The Companies will
promptly advise the Representative of the receipt by any Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose. 
 (e) The Companies will not, and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, resell any Securities that
have been acquired by any of them. 
 (f) None of the Companies or their respective Affiliates, or any person acting on
behalf of any of them, will, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the Securities under the Act. 

(g) None of the Companies or their respective Affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of them, will engage in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Securities in the United States. 

(h) So long as any of the Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Act,
each Company will, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, provide to each holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such restricted securities, upon the request of such holder
or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the holders, and the prospective purchasers designated by such holders, from time to time, of such
restricted securities. 
 (i) None of the Companies or their respective Affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of
them, will engage in any “directed selling efforts” with respect to the Securities, and each of them will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirement of Regulation S. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings
given to them by Regulation S. 

  
 17 

 (j) The Companies will cooperate with the Representative and use their respective
reasonable best efforts to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company. 

(k) The Companies will not and will not permit any of their subsidiaries to, for a period of 90 days following the Time of
Execution, without the prior written consent of the Representative, offer, sell or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether
by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by any Company or any Affiliate of any Company or any person in privity with any Company or any Affiliate of any Company), directly or indirectly, or
announce the offering of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by any Company (or any subsidiary of a Company) (other than the Securities, debt under the Existing Credit Agreement, the issuance by Crown European Holdings S.A. of
€600.0 million 2.625% Senior Notes due 2024 issued on the Closing Date (the “Euro Notes”) and intercompany notes). 

(l) The Companies will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or which has constituted or which might
reasonably be expected to cause or result, under the Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of any Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities. 

(m) The Companies, jointly and severally, agree to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the
preparation of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the issuance of the Securities and the fees of the Trustee; (ii) the preparation, printing or reproduction of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum and each
amendment or supplement thereto; (iii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, and
all amendments or supplements to either of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iv) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of
certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (v) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any blue sky memorandum and all other
agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (vi) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several
states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers relating to such registration and qualification); (vii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of the
Companies’ representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Companies’ accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special
counsel) for the Companies; (ix) any appraisal or valuation performed in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Companies of their respective
obligations hereunder. 

  
 18 

 (n) The Companies will apply the proceeds from the offering and sale of the
Securities as provided under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum. 
 6.
Conditions to the Obligations of the Initial Purchasers. The obligations of the Initial Purchasers to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Companies contained herein
at their respective times of execution of this Agreement, as of the Closing Date and as of any settlement date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, to the accuracy of the statements of the Companies made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions
hereof, to the performance by the Companies of their respective obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions: 

(a) The Companies shall have requested and caused (i) Dechert LLP, special counsel for the Companies, to furnish to the
Initial Purchasers their opinion and negative assurance letter, each delivered on the Closing Date and dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of
Exhibits B-1 and B-2 hereto (with such modifications as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel) and (ii) William T. Gallagher, General Counsel of
Holdings, to furnish to the Initial Purchasers his opinion, delivered on the Closing Date and dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-3 hereto (with such modifications as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel). In rendering such opinions and assurances, such counsel may rely
(A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the State of New York, the Federal laws of the United States and the Delaware General Corporation Law, to the extent they deem
proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers; and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem
proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Companies and public officials. 
 (b) The Initial Purchasers shall
have received from Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, special counsel for the Initial Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, delivered on the Closing Date and dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, with
respect to such matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Companies shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. 

(c) Holdings shall have furnished to the Initial Purchasers a certificate of Holdings and the Issuers, signed by the Chairman
of the Board or the President and the principal financial or accounting officer of each of Holdings and the Issuers, delivered on the Closing Date and dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum, any amendment or supplement to the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum and this Agreement and that: 

  
 19 

 (i) the representations and warranties of the Companies in this Agreement are
true and correct in all material respects (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(rr), (ss) and (tt) which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on
the Closing Date, and the Companies have complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and 

(ii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company, individually, or of Holdings and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

(d) At the Time of Execution, Holdings shall have caused the Independent Accountants to furnish to the Initial Purchasers a
comfort letter, dated the Time of Execution, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers with respect to the audited and any unaudited or pro forma financial information in the Pricing Disclosure Package. On the Closing
Date, Holdings shall have caused the Independent Accountants to furnish to the Initial Purchasers a comfort letter dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers and reaffirming or updating as of a
more recent date, the information in the comfort letter dated the Time of Execution. 
 (e) Subsequent to the Time of
Execution or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified
in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 6; or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or
properties of the Company or of Holdings and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final
Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

(f) The Companies and the Trustee shall have entered into the Indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Representative, and the Representative shall have received counterparts, conformed as executed, thereof. 
 (g) Each of the
Guarantors shall have executed a Guarantee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, and the Initial Purchasers shall have received counterparts, conformed as executed, thereof. 

  
 20 

 (h) The Companies and the Initial Purchasers shall have entered into the
Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (i) The Notes shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through the Depository Trust

 (j) Each of the Companies shall have taken all necessary corporate action required to execute, deliver and
perform the obligations under the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Refinancing and the application of the proceeds from the issuance of the Securities). 

(k) Subsequent to the Time of Execution, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any debt securities of any of
the Companies by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any
such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change. 
 (l) Prior to the Closing Date, the Companies
shall have furnished to the Representative such further information, certificates and documents as the Representative may reasonably request. 

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all respects when and as provided in this
Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representative and counsel for the Initial Purchasers,
this Agreement and all obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Initial Purchasers. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Companies in writing or by telephone or
facsimile confirmed in writing. 
 The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 will be delivered at the office of Cahill
Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers, at 80 Pine Street, New York, New York 10005. 
 7.
Reimbursement of Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination
pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of any Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the
Companies, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through the Representative promptly after demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 

  
 21 

 8. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) The Companies jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees,
affiliates and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they
or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Communication, the Final Memorandum (or in any supplement or amendment thereto) or any information
provided by any Company to any holder or prospective purchaser of Securities pursuant to Section 5(h), or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Companies will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum, or in any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Companies by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Companies may otherwise have. 
 (b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each of its employees, each of its agents and each person who controls a Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Companies to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Companies by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion in the Pricing
Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Written Communication. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Companies
acknowledge that the statements set forth in the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids and the second sentence in the fourteenth paragraph, each under the heading “Private Placement” in the
Preliminary Memorandum and Final Memorandum, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Pricing Disclosure Package and Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement
thereto). 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party
(i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and
defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall

  
 22 

 
be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is
sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party
would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, 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 statement as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on
behalf of any indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement 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 is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (d) In the event that the indemnity
provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Companies and the Initial Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which one or more of the Companies and the
Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Companies on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities; provided,
however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Initial Purchasers relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or
commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Companies and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of 

  
 23 

 
the Companies on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. Benefits received by the Companies shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be
equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information provided by the Companies on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The Companies and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed
by it. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Initial
Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls a Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee and agent of a Company shall have
the same rights to contribution as such Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 
 9.
Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default
in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (at the respective purchase prices set forth in Section 2 and in the respective
proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but
failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of
the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Companies. In the event of a default by any Initial
Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representative shall determine in order that the required changes in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the
Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken under this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Companies or any
nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

or the Nasdaq National Market; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United
States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of
the Securities as contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements

 14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement or any

Until this Amendment becomes effective, the terms of the Credit Agreement prior to its amendment hereby shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) This Amendment is intended to take effect under, and shall be construed according to and governed by, the laws of the State of New York (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement.  This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.

 

 

(d) This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Credit Agreement or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto.

(e) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, successors-in-titles, and assigns.  This Amendment sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein, including the amendments set forth herein, and this Amendment supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understanding or agreement of the parties as to any such amendment or waiver of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, except for any such agreement that has been set forth in writing and executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A facsimile or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart shall have the same effect as the original executed counterpart.
