To the Managers named in Schedule I hereto

for the Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as managers (the “Managers”), the principal amount of its debt securities identified in Schedule I hereto (the “Securities”) under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (this “Agreement”), to be issued under the indenture specified in Schedule I hereto (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee identified in such Schedule (the “Trustee”). If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II hereto include only the Managers listed in Schedule I hereto, then the terms “Underwriters” and “Managers” as used herein shall each be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto), including a prospectus, relating to securities (the “Shelf Securities”), including the Securities, to be issued from time to time by the Company. The registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated August 7, 2012 in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,” and the term “preliminary prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the documents set forth opposite the caption “Time of Sale Prospectus” in Schedule I hereto, including any free writing prospectuses identified in Schedule I hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any,


incorporated by reference therein. The terms “supplement,” “amendment,” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each of the Underwriters that:

(a) The Registration Statement has become effective; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or threatened by the Commission. If the Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement and the Company has not received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement.

(b) (i)Each document, if any, filed or to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii)each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became effective, did not contain, and each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii)the Registration Statement as of the date hereof does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iv)the Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply, and as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (v)the Time of Sale Prospectus does not, and at the time of each sale of the Securities in connection with the offering when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and at the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4), the Time of Sale Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented by the Company, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi)each broadly available road show, if any, when considered together with the Time of Sale Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the

 

2


circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (vii)the Prospectus does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph do not apply to (A)statements or omissions in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Managers expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in Section 8(a) of this Agreement or (B)that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), of the Trustee.

3. Public Offering. The Company is advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Securities as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The Company is further advised by you that the Securities are to be offered to the public upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.

4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Securities shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City on the closing date and time set forth in Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as may be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Payment for the Securities shall be made against delivery to you on the Closing Date for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Securities registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Underwriters duly paid.

5. Conditions to the Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters are subject to the following conditions:

(a) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date:

(i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded the Company or any of the securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and

(ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus as of the date of this Agreement that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.

(b) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in Section 5(a)(i) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing Date.

 

8


The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his or her knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

With respect to the last paragraph of Annex A, counsel for the Company may state that their opinions and beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. With respect to clauses (B)(1), (B)(2) and (B)(3) of the last paragraph of Annex A, Latham & Watkins LLP may state that their opinions and beliefs are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the free writing prospectuses identified as part of the Time of Sale Prospectus in Schedule I hereto, the prospectus supplement and any amendments or supplements thereto (other than the documents incorporated by reference) and upon review and discussion of the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (including documents incorporated by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

The opinion of counsel for the Company described in Section 5(c) above shall be rendered to the Underwriters at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.

(e) The Underwriters shall have received, on each of the date hereof and the Closing Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(d) Not to take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(e) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(f) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Securities, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Securities may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(g) To endeavor to qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it now otherwise so subject.

(h) To make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(i) Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i)the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and the Company’s accountants in connection with the registration and delivery of the Securities under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses of the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing,

 

11


including the filing fees payable to the Commission relating to the Securities (within the time required by Rule 456 (b)(1), if applicable), all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii)all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii)the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 6(g) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or legal investment memorandum, (iv)if required, all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Securities by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., (v)any fees charged by the rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, (vi)all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the Securities, if listed, and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Securities on the NYSE, (vii)the cost of the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Securities, (viii)the costs and charges of any trustee, transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (ix)the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company and travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and (x)all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 8 entitled “Indemnity and Contribution,” and the last paragraph of Section 10 below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Securities by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

(j) During the period beginning on the date hereof and continuing to and including the Closing Date, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company or warrants to purchase or otherwise acquire debt securities of the Company substantially similar to the Securities (other than (i)the Securities, (ii)commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business or (iii)securities

 

12


or warrants permitted with the prior written consent of the Managers identified in Schedule I with the authorization to release this lock-up on behalf of the Underwriters).

(k) To prepare a final term sheet relating to the offering of the Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Securities or the offering in a form consented to by the Managers, and to file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date the final terms have been established for the offering of the Securities.

7. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.

8. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information relating to price stabilization and short positions appearing in the sixth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who

 

13


sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in Section 8(a) of this Agreement.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party 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 party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings 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 such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred, but only after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice in respect thereof. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Managers authorized to appoint counsel under this Section set forth in Schedule I hereto, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b), provided, however, that in either such case, counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the other party. The indemnifying party 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 party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party

 

14


shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding that relate to potential liability of such indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the

 

15


respective principal amounts of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public 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 remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i)trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii)trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on the New York Stock Exchange, (iii)a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred, (iv)any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v)there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or

 

16


inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions contained in Section 5 of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement.

 

17


(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

14. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

15. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address set forth in Schedule I hereto.

(i) ANNEX A

Form of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP Opinion

(ii) the Company is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Company has corporate power and authority to issue the Securities, to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder;

(iii) each of the Material Subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware or California is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation;

(iv) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

(v) the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, provided that we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law;

(vi) the Securities have been duly authorized and when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which such Securities are to be issued, provided that we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law;

(vii) the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Indenture, the Securities and this Agreement (collectively, the “Documents”) will not contravene (i) any provision of the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents, or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provided that counsel expresses no opinion as to federal or state securities laws, (ii) the certificate of

 

Annex A-1


incorporation or by laws of the Company, or (iii) any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement;

(viii) no consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents, or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Documents, except such as may be required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws as to which we expresses no opinion; and

(ix) the Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus will not be, required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

We have considered the statements included in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Debt Securities” and “Description of the Notes” insofar as they summarize provisions of the Indenture and the Securities. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects. The statements included in the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly and accurately summarize the matters referred to therein in all material respects;

On the basis of the information gained in the course of the performance of our services, but without independent check or verification, except as stated, (A) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and (B) nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that, insofar as relevant to the offering of the Securities: (1) on the date hereof, the Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (2) the Time of Sale Prospectus as of [time] on the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (3) the Prospectus as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. We have not been called to pass upon, and such counsel expresses no view regarding, the financial statements or financial schedules or

 

Annex A-2


other financial or accounting data included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, or the Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1. In addition, we express no view as to the conveyance of the Time of Sale Prospectus or the information contained therein to investors.

Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.13 of this Indenture. Every Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.04 or Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 2.13 of this Indenture, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Security. A Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 2.04(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Sections 2.04(b), (c) or (g) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Securities. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the applicable procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(A)(i) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the applicable procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and

(ii) instructions given in accordance with the applicable procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities contained in this Indenture and the Securities or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Securities pursuant to Section 2.04(g) hereof.

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Securities.

If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Security or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.04(b)(2) hereof, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.04(g) hereof, and the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Security in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities for Beneficial Interests.

A Holder of a Definitive Security may exchange such Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security or transfer such Definitive Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Security and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Securities.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Security to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous paragraph at a time when a Global Security has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of the Company’s order, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Securities so transferred.

A Holder of Definitive Securities may transfer such Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security.

(10) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.05 Execution and Authentication.

One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time such Security is authenticated, such Security shall nevertheless be valid.

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security, as applicable, has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order.

The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.09.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities (an “Authentication Order”), and the Trustee in accordance with the Authentication Order will authenticate and deliver such Securities.

Section 2.06 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to each Series of Securities.

Section 2.07 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Series of Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.

Section 2.08 Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Securities and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

Section 2.09 Replacement Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order together with such indemnity or security sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.

Every replacement Security of any Series is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities of such Series duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10 Outstanding Securities.

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date of a Series of Securities, money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.11 Treasury Securities.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities of a Series owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.12 Temporary Securities

Until certificates representing Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of certificated Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities of the same Series in exchange for temporary Securities.

 

14


Holders of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.13 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall return such canceled Securities to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.14 Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.

The principal of and the interest on the Securities, shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose.

The Securities shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest, if any, from the date and shall be payable on the dates, in each case, as specified as such in the terms of the Securities.

The Person in whose name each Security is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable with respect to any interest payment date for the Securities shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date. The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest (as described below)) shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Securities, or if no such date is so specified, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month, or if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on Securities of any Series, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of the Securities of that Series on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in such Securities and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Security of the Series and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders of the Securities of that Series a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.15 CUSIP Number.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 3.01 Procedures for Notice of Redemption and Selection of Securities.

The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 15 days before the redemption date.

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject, in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.02(10), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called for redemption.

Section 3.02 Securities Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of any Security of a Series that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of such Series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

No Securities of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

 

16


(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(5) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(6) the CUSIP number, if any; and

(7) any other information as may be required by the terms of the Securities of the Series being redeemed.

At the Company’s request, and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 11.04 hereof, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities of the Series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Unless otherwise provided by Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto for a particular Series, the notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities of a Series to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities of a Series to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities of a Series called for redemption. If a Security is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security of a Series called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities of such Series and in Section 4.01 hereof.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where a Securities of a Series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes pursuant to the preceding paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee for any Series of Securities of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means, unless otherwise provided by Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto for a particular Series, the:

(a) default in paying interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more;

(b) default in paying principal, or premium, if any, on any Security of that Series when due;

(c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant of the Company in this Indenture (other than defaults in Section 6.01(a) and (b) above or pursuant to a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that Series) and the default or breach continues for a period of 60 days or more after the Company receives written notice from the Trustee or the Trustee receives notice from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series;

(d) the Company:

(1) commences a voluntary case in bankruptcy,

(2) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary bankruptcy case,

(3) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,

(4) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

(5) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(1) is for relief against the Company;

 

21


(2) appoints a custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or

(3) orders the liquidation of the Company;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) with respect to the Company) under this Indenture occurs with respect to the Securities of any Series at the time outstanding and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, will by written notice, require the Company to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding Securities shall automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

After a declaration of acceleration or any automatic acceleration under Section 6.01(d) or (e), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind such accelerated payment requirement if all existing Events of Default, except for nonpayment of the principal and interest on the Securities of that Series that have become due solely as a result of the accelerated payment requirement, have been cured or waived and if the rescission of acceleration would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation expenses and disbursements of the Trustee and its agent and counsel have been paid.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of a Series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such Series waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing

 

22


Default or Event of Default in the payment of premium or interest on, or the principal of, the Securities of such Series (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration of such Securities and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust, or power conferred on it, subject to Section 7.02(f). However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of any Security of any Series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or its Securities only if:

(a) the Holder of such Security gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Securities of that Series;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; and

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer set forth in clauses (b) and (c) above, if during such 60-day period, the Trustee has not received directions inconsistent with such request by Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series and if requested, the provision of indemnity.

A Holder of any Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of any Security or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series.

Unless this Section 8.03 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.02, to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 4.03 and 5.01 as well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 with respect to the outstanding Securities of any Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such Series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,

 

31


consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof with respect to such Series of Securities, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof with respect to Securities of any Series, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to such Securities.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to outstanding Securities of any Series under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(a) the Company must irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefits of the Holders of Securities:

(1) money in an amount;

(2) non-callable Government Securities; or

(3) a combination of money and non-callable Government Securities,

in each case sufficient without reinvestment, in the written opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, all of the principal, interest and any premium at due date or maturity or if the Company has made irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, the redemption date;

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, as a result of an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) ruling or a change in applicable federal income tax law, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series will not recognize gain or loss for Unites States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge did not occur;

(c) in the case of an election of Covenant Defeasance under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such Series will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and covenant defeasance did not occur;

 

32


(d) no Default with respect to the outstanding Securities of such Series has occurred and is continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect to the deposit or, in the case of Legal Defeasance, no Default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency has occurred and is continuing at any time on or before the 91st day after the date of such deposit, it being understood that this condition is not deemed satisfied until after the 91st day;

(e) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, assuming all Securities of such Series were in default within the meaning of such Act;

(f) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party;

(g) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless the trust is registered under such Act or exempt from registration; and

(h) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent with respect to the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities of any Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of any Series.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company.

All funds deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of principal, interest, premium or additional amounts in respect of any Securities that remain unclaimed for two years after the maturity date of such Securities, will be repaid to the Company,

 

33


or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust, upon the Company’s request. Thereafter, any right of any Holder to such funds shall be enforceable only against the Company, and the Trustee and Paying Agents will have no liability therefor.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then, with respect to such Securities, the Company’s and any applicable guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Securities and the guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any such Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series without the consent of any Holder of Securities of any Series in order to:

(1) cure ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, provided that such amendment or modification shall not materially adversely affect the right of Holders;

(2) provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations in the case of a merger or consolidation and the Company’s discharge upon such assumption;

(3) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Securities;

(4) provide for or add guarantors with respect to the Securities of any Series;

(5) secure the Securities of any Series;

(6) establish the form or forms of Securities of any Series;

(7) conform any provision in this Indenture to the “Description of Debt Securities” filed on Form S-3 or the “Description of Notes” in any accompanying prospectus supplements; or

(8) make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holders.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended

 

34


or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or officer’s certificate or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of each such Series, and the Company’s compliance with any provision of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any Series may be waived by written notice to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series affected by the waiver (voting as one class). However, no modification or amendment under this Section 9.02 may, without the consent of the Holder of the outstanding Securities affected:

(a) reduce the principal amount, or extend the fixed maturity, of the Securities, alter or waive the redemption provisions of the Securities;

(b) change the currency in which principal, any premium or interest is paid;

(c) reduce the percentage in principal amount outstanding of the Securities which must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver or consent to take any action;

(d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the Securities;

(e) waive a payment default with respect to the Securities or any guarantor;

(f) reduce the interest rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the Securities; or

(g) adversely affect the ranking of the Securities.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities of any Series under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities of any Series as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities of any Series affected thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

 

35


Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of any Series will be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder of a Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent as to its Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds each Holder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

ARTICLE 10

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to the Securities issued hereunder, when either:

(a) all such Securities that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to and accepted by the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all such Securities that have not been accepted by the Trustee for cancellation will become due and payable within one year (a “discharge”) and the Company has made irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by such Trustee in the

 

36


Company’s name, and at the Company’s expense and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee sufficient funds to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities to pay principal, interest and any premium;

(c) the Company or any guarantor of such Securities has paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable under this Indenture; and

(d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant clause (b) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Sections 10.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 10.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities with respect to which such deposit was made and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any applicable guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Securities of any Series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

INGRAM MICRO INC.

OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE

PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 2.02 AND 11.04 OF THE INDENTURE

August 10, 2012

The undersigned, Erik Smolders, hereby certifies that he is the Vice President and Treasurer – Corporate of Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and authorized, pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company effective as of July 26, 2012 (the “Resolutions”) and the Certificate of the Pricing Officer of the Company dated August 7, 2012 (the “Pricing Officer’s Certificate”), and in accordance with Sections 2.02 and 11.04 of the Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of August 10, 2012 between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to make the representations and certifications below on behalf of the Company:

1. Attached hereto as Annex A is a true and correct copy of a specimen note (the “Form of Note”) representing the Company’s 5.000% Notes Due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes are a separate Series of Securities under the Indenture.

The Company is issuing initially $300 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Company may issue additional Notes from time to time after the date hereof, in which case any additional Notes so issued shall have identical terms as the Notes previously issued (other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price), and such additional Notes will be treated as a single Series with the previously issued Notes for all purposes under the Indenture; provided, however, that if the additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

2. The Form of Note sets forth certain of the terms required to be set forth in this certificate pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Indenture, and said terms are incorporated herein by reference. The Notes were offered at an initial public offering price of 99.402% of the principal amount thereof.

3. In lieu of the provisions set forth in Article 3 of the Indenture, the following redemption and prepayment terms shall apply to the Notes:

Section 3.01 Procedures for Notice of Optional Redemption and Selection of Notes.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the date fixed for the redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 (the “Optional Redemption Date”) (or such shorter period as the Trustee in its sole discretion may allow), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section

 

1


3.05 of this Indenture.

If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, more than 60 days before the redemption date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee may select for redemption or repurchase portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of them selected shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or repurchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or repurchase.

Section 3.02 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03 Optional Redemption.

The Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time (subject to the right of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if an interest payment date occurs before a redemption), at its option, at a redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to:

 

  a) if the Optional Redemption Date is before February 10, 2022, the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including the Optional Redemption Date, or

(ii) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments in interest accrued as of the Optional Redemption Date) discounted to the Optional Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date; provided that the principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

 

2


  b) if Optional Redemption Date is on or after February 10, 2022, 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date; provided that the principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

Section 3.04 Special Mandatory Redemption.

If the Company does not consummate the Merger on or prior to April 30, 2013 or the Merger Agreement is terminated at any time prior thereto, the Company shall redeem all of the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

Section 3.05 Notice of Redemption.

Holders of Notes to be redeemed as provided in Section 3.03 will receive notice thereof by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days before the Optional Redemption Date. Notice of a special mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 3.04 will be distributed by first class mail promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, after the occurrence of the event triggering such redemption to the registered address of each Holder.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense.

Section 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Optional Redemption Date at the Optional Redemption Price, or on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before the Optional Redemption Date or the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of, or the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for, as the case may be, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Optional Redemption Price, or the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for, as the case may be, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Optional Redemption Date or the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, as the case may be, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption, and, other than the right to receive the Optional Redemption Price of the Notes, or the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes, as the case may be, all rights under the Notes to be redeemed shall terminate. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Optional Redemption Date or the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, as the case may be, until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date.”

(e) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Triggering Event.

The Company shall not purchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under this Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the change of control payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, except to the Company or to a Subsidiary, any Principal Property as an entirety, or any substantial portion of the Company’s Principal Property, with the intention of taking back a lease of such Principal Property, except a lease for a period of three years or less at the end of which it is intended that the use of that Principal Property by the lessee will be discontinued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may sell any Principal Property and lease it back for a longer period:

(1) if the Company or such applicable Subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 4.08(a) to create a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased securing Funded Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to the sale and lease-back transaction without equally and ratably securing the outstanding Notes;

(2) if the Company promptly informs the Trustee of the transaction, and the Company causes an amount equal to the fair value (as determined by resolution of its Board of Directors) of the Principal Property to be applied (i) to the purchase of other Principal Property that will constitute Principal Property having a fair value at least equal to the fair value of the Principal Property sold, or (ii) to the retirement within 270 days after receipt of the proceeds of Funded Debt incurred or assumed by the Company or a Subsidiary, including the Notes; provided, further that, in lieu of applying all of or any part of such net proceeds to such retirement, the Company may, within 75 days after the sale, deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable trustee for cancellation either debentures or debt securities evidencing Funded Debt of the Company (which may include the Notes) or of a Subsidiary previously authenticated and delivered by the applicable trustee, and not yet tendered for sinking fund purposes or called for a sinking fund or otherwise applied as a credit against an obligation to redeem or retire such debt securities or debentures, and an Officer’s Certificate (which will be delivered to the Trustee) stating that the Company elects to deliver or cause to be delivered the debentures or debt securities in lieu of retiring Funded Debt as provided in this Indenture;

(3) if the Company or such applicable Subsidiary executes a lease of Principal Property by the time of, or within 270 days after the latest of, the acquisition, the completion of construction or improvement, or the commencement of commercial operation of the Principal Property; or

(4) in any such transaction between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries.

9


Section 4.10(a), without any obligation to retire any outstanding Notes or other Funded Debt; provided that at the time of entering into and giving effect to such sale and lease-back transactions, Exempted Debt does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Company.

(c) If the Company delivers debentures or debt securities to the Trustee and the Company duly delivers the Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(2), the amount of cash that the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of Funded Debt under Section 4.10(a)(2) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of the then applicable optional redemption prices of the applicable debentures or debt securities, so delivered, or, if there are no such redemption prices, the principal amount of such debentures or debt securities. If the applicable debentures or debt securities provide for an amount less than the principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon a declaration of the maturity, then the amount of cash shall be reduced by the amount of principal of such debentures or debt securities that would be due and payable as of the date of such application upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture pursuant to which such debentures or debt securities were issued.

5.000% Notes due 2022

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. INTEREST. Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.000% per annum from the date hereof until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on February 10 and August 10 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be February 10, 2013. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 27 or July 27 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. INDENTURE. This Note is a duly authenticated security of the Company issued and to be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 10, 2012, between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by the Officer’s Certificate dated August 10, 2012 delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 11.04 thereto (the “Officer’s Certificate”) and by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture, the Officer’s Certificate and the Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture or the


Officer’s Certificate, the provisions of the Indenture or the Officer’s Certificate, as the case may be, will govern and be controlling.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions of Article 3 of the Officer’s Certificate, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option. If the Optional Redemption Date is before February 10, 2022, the Optional Redemption Price shall equal the greater of:

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including the Optional Redemption Date, or

(2) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments in interest accrued as of the Optional Redemption Date) discounted to the Optional Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date; provided that the principal amount of a Note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

If the Optional Redemption Date is on or after February 10, 2022, the Optional Redemption Price shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date; provided that the principal amount of a note remaining outstanding after redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf by such Person as the Company shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

On or before the Optional Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of and accrued interest for all Notes to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Optional Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, and other than the right to receive the Optional Redemption Price of the Notes, all rights under the Notes to be redeemed shall terminate. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Optional Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal.

6. SPECIAL MANDATORY REDEMPTION. If the Company does not consummate the Merger on or prior to April 30, 2013 or the Merger Agreement is terminated at any time prior thereto, the Company shall redeem all of the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date at a redemption price equal to the Special Mandatory Redemption Price.

On or before the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for all Notes to be redeemed on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.


If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights under the Notes shall terminate. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Special Mandatory Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal.

7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem under paragraph 5 above or a Special Mandatory Redemption Date has been fixed under paragraph 6 above, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, pursuant to and in accordance with the offer described in this paragraph; provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Holders of Notes to be redeemed as provided in Article 3 of the Officer’s Certificate will receive notice thereof by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption.

9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notes may be transferred or exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate. The Company need not exchange or transfer any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate may be amended as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or this Officer’s Certificate or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes, and the Company’s compliance with any provision of the Indenture with respect to the Notes may be waived by written notice to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by the waiver (voting as one class). Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or modified in order to: (i) cure ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, provided that such amendment or modification shall not materially adversely affect the rights of Holders; (ii) provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations in the case of a merger or consolidation and the Company’s discharge upon such assumption; (iii) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes; (iv) provide for or add guarantors with respect to the Notes; (v) secure the Notes; (vi) establish the form or forms of Notes; (vii) conform any provision in the


Indenture to the “Description of Debt Securities” filed on Form S-3 or the “Description of the Notes” in any accompanying prospectus supplements; or (viii) make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of Holders.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.01 of the Indenture, an “event of default” occurs if there is a: (i) default in paying interest on any Notes when they become due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more; (ii) default in paying principal, or premium, if any, on the Notes when due; (iii) default in the performance or breach of any covenant in the Indenture (other than defaults in (i) and (ii) above) and the default or breach continues for a period of 60 days or more after the Company receives written notice from the Trustee or the Trustee receives notice from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes; or (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occur with respect to the Company.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in subsection (iv) above with respect to the Company) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, will by written notice, require the Company to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If an Event of Default specified in subsection (iv) above with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of premium or interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration of such Notes and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration.

The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services or the Company or its Affiliates, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, Indenture or Officer’s Certificate or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.


15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

16. ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

17. CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Ingram Micro Inc.

1600 E. St. Andrew Place

Santa Ana, California 92705

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for Ingram Micro Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s offering of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) in a public offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated August 7, 2012 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and RBS Securities Inc. (the “Representatives”), as representatives of the several underwriters listed in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of August 10, 2012 (the “Indenture”) by and between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and an Officer’s Certificate to be issued pursuant thereto on August 10, 2012. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-183108, the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We, as your counsel, have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement that have not been executed will conform to the forms thereof, (iv) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vii) all representations made by the Company as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

Based upon the foregoing, we advise you that, in our opinion, the Notes have been duly authorized in accordance with the Indenture, and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, such Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability.

In connection with the opinions expressed above, we have assumed that, at or prior to the time of the delivery of the Notes, the Indenture and the Notes are each valid, binding and enforceable agreements of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company).


We are members of the Bars of the States of New York and California and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company on the date hereof and further consent to the reference to our name under the caption “Validity of Securities” in the base prospectus and supplement thereto, which are a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,
