Ladies and Gentlemen:
TTM Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), proposes to issue and sell to
the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the Underwriters), for whom you are acting
as Representatives (the Representatives), an aggregate of $155,000,000 principal amount of its
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the Firm Securities), and, at the option of the
Underwriters, up to an additional aggregate of $20,000,000 principal amount of its 3.25%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the Additional Securities). The Firm Securities and the
Additional Securities are herein referred to as the Securities. The Securities will be issued
pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of May 14, 2008 (the Indenture) between the
Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the Trustee). The Securities will be
convertible into shares (the Underlying Securities) of common stock of the Company, par value
$0.001 per share (the Common Stock), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Company
hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the
Securities, as follows:
1. Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the Securities Act),
2
a registration statement (File No. 333-148687) including a prospectus, relating to certain debt and
equity securities to be issued by the Company from time to time. Such registration statement, as
amended at the time it became effective, 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 Information), and including any post-effective amendment thereto
filed prior to the Closing Date, is referred to herein as the Registration Statement; and as used
herein, the term Preliminary Prospectus means the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement of the
Company dated May 8, 2008 and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act together
with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that
omitted Rule 430 Information, and the term Prospectus means the definitive Prospectus Supplement
in the form first furnished to the Underwriters (or made available upon request of purchasers
pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) for use in connection with confirmation of sales of
the Securities together with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of
its effectiveness that omitted Rule 430 Information. If the Company has filed an abbreviated
registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the Rule 462 Registration
Statement), then any reference herein to the term Registration Statement shall be deemed to
include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration
Statement, 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 (collectively, the Exchange Act) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities are first made (the Time of Sale), the
Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the Time of Sale Information): a
Preliminary Prospectus dated May 8, 2008, and each free-writing prospectus (as defined pursuant
to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B hereto.
2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters. (a) The Company agrees to issue
and sell the Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each
Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and
subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the
Company the respective principal amount of Securities set forth opposite such Underwriters name in
Schedule 1 hereto at a price (the Purchase Price) equal to 97.125% of the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest, if any, from May 14, 2008 to the date of payment and delivery. The
public offering price of the Securities is not in excess of the price recommended by UBS Securities
LLC (UBS), acting as a qualified independent underwriter within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the
Rules of Conduct of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA).
3
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to
its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the several Underwriters the Additional
Securities, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase in whole, or from time to time in
part, the Additional Securities from the Company at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if
any, from the Closing Date (as defined below) to the date of payment and delivery, solely to cover
over-allotments.
If any Additional Securities are to be purchased, the principal amount of Additional
Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the principal amount of Additional
Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities
being purchased as the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such
Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto (or such principal amount increased as set forth in Section 10
hereof) bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities being purchased from the Company
by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments as the Representatives in their
sole discretion may make in order to ensure that the principal amount of Additional Securities
purchased by each Underwriter is an integral multiple of $1,000.
The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase the Additional Securities at any time in
whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this
Agreement, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company. Such notice shall set forth
the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities as to which the option is being exercised
and the date and time when the Additional Securities are to be delivered and paid for (an
Additional Closing Date), which shall be on or after the date and time of the Closing Date (as
hereinafter defined) but shall not be earlier than two business days after the date such notice is
given nor later than the tenth full Business Day (as hereinafter defined) after the date of such
notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10
hereof), except as otherwise may be agreed between the parties.
(b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the
Securities as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the
Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the
Time of Sale Information. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and
sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer
and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.
(c) Payment for the Firm Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the account specified by the Company to the Representatives at 10:00 A.M. New York City
time on May 14, 2008, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than
the fifth Business Day thereafter, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in
writing. The time and date of such payment is referred to herein as the Closing Date. As used
herein, the term Business Day means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or
required to be closed in New York City.
Payment for the Securities shall be made against delivery to the nominee of The Depository
Trust Company for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Securities of one or
more global notes (collectively, the Global Notes) representing the
4
Securities, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer to the
Underwriters of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global Notes will be made available
for inspection by the Representatives at the office of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. at the address
set forth above not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior
to the Closing Date or an Additional Closing Date, as applicable.
(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the
capacity of an arms length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of
Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering)
and not as financial advisors or fiduciaries to, or agents of, the Company or any other person.
Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter are advising the Company or any
other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any
jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be
responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company
with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated
hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of
the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf 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, legal fees and other 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, (ii) or 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 (including any Time of Sale Information that has
subsequently been amended), 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 circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, in each case 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 expressly for use
therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter
consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless UBS, its affiliates, directors and
officers and each person, if any, who controls UBS 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 incurred as a result of UBSs participation as a qualified independent
underwriter within the meaning of the Rules of Conduct of the FINRA in connection with the
offering of the Securities and the Underlying Securities.
(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
24
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 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 furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the
Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (i) the names of the Underwriters which appear
on the front cover and back cover of the Prospectus; (ii) the names of the Underwriters which
appear under the caption Underwriting in the Prospectus; (iii) the third paragraph under the
caption Underwriting in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt, such paragraph begins with
the words The underwriters initially propose...); (iv) the seventh paragraph under the caption
Underwriting in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt such paragraph begins with the words
A Prospectus in electronic format...); (v) the second and third sentences contained in the
twelfth paragraph under the caption Underwriting in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt,
such sentences begin with the words The underwriters have advised us that...); and (vi) the
nineteenth paragraph under the caption Underwriting in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of
doubt, such paragraph begins with the words In connection with the offering of the notes, the
underwriters may engage...).
(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 reasonable fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay
the reasonable 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 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
25
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;
provided, however that if indemnity may be sought pursuant to the second paragraph of 7(a)
above in respect of such proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm of the Underwriters,
their affiliates and such control persons of the Underwriters, the indemnifying party shall be
liable for the fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for UBS in its capacity as a qualified independent underwriter, its affiliates and all
persons, if any, who control UBS within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act. 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 such Underwriter 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 reasonable 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 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) 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 or UBS in its capacity as a qualified independent underwriter, as the
case may be, 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 the one hand, and the Underwriters or UBS in its capacity as a qualified independent
underwriter, as the case may be, 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
26
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters or UBS in its capacity as a qualified independent underwriter, as the case may be,
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, or the fee to be received by
UBS in its capacity as a qualified independent underwriter, as the case may be, bear to the
aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand,
and the Underwriters or UBS in its capacity as a qualified independent underwriter, as the case
may be, 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 or UBS in its
capacity as a qualified independent underwriter, as the case may be, 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 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 that 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 or, in the case of the Additional Securities, prior to the Additional
Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by the
Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall
27
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; or (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 Closing Date or
the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by
this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
10. Defaulting Underwriter. (a) If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing
Date, as the case may be, either Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities
that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriter may in its
discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons reasonably satisfactory to
the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default
by either Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriter does 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 reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriter 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 Underwriter or the Company may postpone the
Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, 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
Underwriter 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 by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in paragraph
(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased on the
Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be does not exceed one-eleventh of the
aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased on such date, 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 the Securities of the defaulting
Underwriter 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 by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in paragraph
(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing
Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate
principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased on such date, or if the Company shall not
exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any
Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriter to purchase Securities on the Additional
Closing Date, as the case may be, shall terminate without liability on the part of the
non-defaulting Underwriter. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be
28
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 costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without
limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery
of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the
preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the
Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the
Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution
thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv)
the fees and expenses of the Companys counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of
eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the
Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky
Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters not to exceed
$10,000); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to
such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing
with, and clearance of the offering by, the FINRA (including the fees and expenses of UBS acting as
qualified independent underwriter within the meaning of the aforementioned Rule 2720 of The Rules
of Conduct; (ix) any fees or costs incident to listing the Underlying Securities on the Nasdaq; and
(x) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any road show presentation to
potential investors.
(b) If (i) any one or a combination of the conditions to the Underwriters obligations to
purchase the Securities set forth in Section 6(a), 6(b), 6(d), 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 6(i), 6(j), 6(k)
or 6(m) is not satisfied or waived by the Underwriters and the Underwriters decline to purchase the
Securities, or (ii) 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 offering contemplated hereby.
12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers
and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates referred to in
Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other
person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any
provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be
a successor merely by reason of such purchase.
29
13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made
by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate
delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall
remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.
14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise
expressly provided, the term affiliate has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act; and (b) the term subsidiary has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
