that:
(i) The Company has been duly qualified as a foreign
corporation for the transaction of business and is in good
standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it
owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to
require such qualification or is subject to no material
liability or disability by reason of failure to be so
qualified in any such jurisdiction (such counsel being
10
<PAGE> 11
entitled to rely in respect of the opinion in this clause upon
opinions of local counsel and in respect of matters of fact
upon certificates of officers of the Company, provided that
such counsel shall state that they believe that both you and
they are justified in relying upon such opinions and
certificates);
(ii) Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly
incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation,
and all of the issued shares of capital stock of each such
subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable, and (except for directors'
qualifying shares, [shares of Aerosance, Inc., Teledyne
Commodore LLC and Teledyne NIM L.L.C.] and as otherwise set
forth in the Prospectus) are owned directly or indirectly by
the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
equities or claims (such counsel being entitled to rely in
respect of the opinion in this clause upon opinions of local
counsel and in respect to matters of fact upon certificates of
officers of the Company or its subsidiaries, provided that
such counsel shall state that they believe that both you and
they are justified in relying upon such opinions and
certificates);
(iii) To such counsel's best knowledge and other than
as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal or
governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any
of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if
determined adversely to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries; and, to such counsel's
knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened by governmental
authorities or by others;
(iv) Any material real property or buildings held
under lease by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is held
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the
use made and proposed to by made of such property and
buildings by the Company and its subsidiaries;
(v) The issue and sale of the Shares being delivered
at such Time of Delivery by the Company and the compliance by
the Company with all of the provisions of this Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will
not (A) result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under the terms or
provisions of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other agreement or instrument known to such
counsel 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, or (B) result in any
violation of the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any statute or any
order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court
or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties,
except in the case of clause (A) hereof, for any such breaches
or violations that, individually or in the aggregate, has not
had and could not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position,
stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company
and its subsidiaries; and
11
<PAGE> 12
(vi) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
is (A) in violation of its respective corporate charter or
by-laws or, (B) to such counsel's knowledge, in default in the
performance or observance of any material obligation,
agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it
or any of its properties may be bound that, in the case of
clause (B), individually or in the aggregate, has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the consolidated financial position, stockholders' equity or
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
(e) On the date of the Prospectus at a time prior to the
execution of this Agreement, at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the
effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement and also at
the Time of Delivery, Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to you a
letter or letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, in
form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect set forth in
Annex I hereto (the executed copy of the letter delivered prior to the
execution of this Agreement is attached as Annex I(a) hereto and a
draft of the form of letter to be delivered on the effective date of
any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and as of
each Time of Delivery is attached as Annex I(b) hereto);
(f) (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall
have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial
statements included in the Prospectus any loss or interference with its
business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not
covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or
governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or
contemplated in the Prospectus, and (ii) since the respective dates as
of which information is given in the Prospectus there shall not have
been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving
a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management,
financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, otherwise than as
set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which, in
any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of
the Representatives so material and adverse as to make it impracticable
or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of
the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in
the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(g) On or after the date hereof there shall not have occurred
any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange (ii) a
suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company's
securities on the New York State Stock Exchange; (iii) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal
or New York State or California authorities; or (iv) the outbreak or
escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the
declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, if the
effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv) in the judgment
of the Representatives makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered
at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in
the Prospectus;
12
<PAGE> 13
(h) The Shares to be sold at such Time of Delivery shall have
been duly listed, subject to notice of issuance, on the New York Stock
Exchange;
(i) The directors and executive officers of the Company named
as such in the Prospectus shall each have entered into an agreement
with the Underwriters providing that, during the period beginning from
the date hereof and continuing to and including the date 90 days after
the date of the Prospectus, he will not offer, sell, contract to sell
or otherwise dispose of any shares of Stock or other securities of the
Company substantially similar to the Stock or which are convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Stock (other than
pursuant to bona fide gifts to persons who agree in writing with you to
be bound by the terms of such agreement) without your prior written
consent;
(j) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of
Section 5(c) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on
the New York Business Day next succeeding the date of this Agreement;
and
(k) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished
to you at Time of Delivery certificates of officers of the Company
satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the Company herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as
to the performance by the Company of all of its obligations hereunder
to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters
set forth in subsections (a) and (e) of this Section and as to such
other matters as you may reasonably request.
8. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment 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 not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use
therein.
(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the
Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus,
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or
13
<PAGE> 14
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 not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and
will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against
any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall
not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to
the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or
any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without
the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to,
any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not
the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or
claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) 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 Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if
the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under
subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
14
<PAGE> 15
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), 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 proportion as the total net proceeds from
the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear
to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page
of the Prospectus. The relative fault 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 on the one
hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
subsection (d) 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 which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred
to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and
distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount
of any damages which 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 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d)
to contribute are several in proportion to their respective
underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall
be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have
and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person,
if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and
the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in
addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may
otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to
each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to
purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of
Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other
parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for
the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further
period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other
parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event
that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you
have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company notifies you
that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company
shall have the right to postpone Time of Delivery for a period of not more than
seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or
arrangements, and the Company agrees to file
15
<PAGE> 16
promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in
your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in
this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like
effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with
respect to such Shares.
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by
you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate
number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased
at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to
require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of
shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time
of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting
Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of
Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the
Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such
arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a
defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by
you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate
number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of
the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of
Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in
subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase
Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement
(or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of
the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional
Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to
be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6
hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8
hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from
liability for its default.
10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations,
warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as
set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively,
pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of
any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the
Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and
shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
11. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9
hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter
except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but, if for any other reason,
Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the
Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket
expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of
counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the
purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company
shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided
in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.
12. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of
the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon
any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or
given by you jointly or by Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of you as the
representatives.
16
<PAGE> 17
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of Goldman, Sachs &
Co., at 32 Old Slip, 21st Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attention:
Registration Department; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by
mail to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement,
Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter
pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its
Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which
address will be supplied to the Company by you upon request. Any such
statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt
thereof.
13. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the
benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent provided in
Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each
person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall
acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of
any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by
reason merely of such purchase.
14. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used
herein, the term "business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office
in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
16. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the
parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return to us, one for the Company and each of the Representatives plus one
for each counsel, counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on
behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall
constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters and the Company.
It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the
Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among
Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company for
examination upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority
of the signers thereof.
Very truly yours,
