foregoing sentence, if the filing of the Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b), the Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriter of such timely filing.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials.

                    (iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto dated after the date hereof), there has been no material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto dated after the date hereof).

                    (ii) on the basis of carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and any committees of the Company; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company as to transactions and events subsequent to March 31, 2004, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that, with respect to the period subsequent to March 31, 2004, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of the letter, in the long-term debt of the Company or capital stock of the Company or decreases in the stockholders’ equity of the Company as compared with the amounts shown on the March 31, 2004, balance sheet incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as of the date of the letter, or for the period from April 1, 2004, to such specified date there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in revenues or income before provision for income taxes or in total or per share amounts of net income, income from operations and interest income of the Company, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Underwriter; and

                    (iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Company) set forth (1) in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including the information set forth under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Selling Stockholders” in the Prospectus, and (2) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 (information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 only) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2004, in each case, agrees with the accounting records of the Company, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (g) include any supplement thereto at the date of the letter.

                    (h) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (g) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the financial condition or results of operations of the Company, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Underwritten Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

                    (i) The Underwritten Securities shall have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the Nasdaq National Market, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Underwriter.

                    (j) At the Execution Time, the Company shall have furnished to the Underwriter a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto from each person listed on Schedule II hereto.

                    (k) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have furnished to the Underwriter such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriter may reasonably request.

     If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Underwriting Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Underwriting Agreement shall not be in all

material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter and counsel for the Underwriter, this Underwriting Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriter under this Underwriting Agreement may be canceled by the Underwriter at any time at or prior to the Closing Date. Notice of such cancelation shall be given to the Company and the Selling Stockholders in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

     The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the offices of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Underwriter, at 825 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10019, on the Closing Date.

     7. Reimbursement of Underwriter’s Expenses. If the sale of the Underwritten Securities provided herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 9(i) hereof, or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by the Underwriter, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by it in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

     8. Indemnification and Contribution.

                    (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter and each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Underwritten Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

                    (b) Each Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter, each person who controls the Company or the Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with reference to written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder with respect to such Selling Stockholder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.

                    (c) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each Selling Stockholder, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to the Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledge that the statements set forth under the headings “Underwriting” and “Plan of Distribution” related to (i) selling concessions, discounts and passive market making and (ii) stabilization transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids, in the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriter for inclusion in the Prospectus.

                    (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below and other than reasonable costs of investigation and preparation for proceedings); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying

 


 

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
May 4, 2004
Page 17

party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

                    (e) The liability of each Selling Stockholder under the Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of his or her Securities to the Underwriter.

                    (f) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, each of the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, and the Underwriter agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no case shall the Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Underwritten Securities purchased by the Underwriter hereunder. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company, any of the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriter, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (f), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be

 


 

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
May 4, 2004
Page 18

entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (f).

     9. Termination. This Underwriting Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the Nasdaq National Market, (ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange or National Market, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any major disruption in the settlement of securities in the United States, (v) there shall have occurred any attack on the United States, outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of America of a national emergency or war, act of terrorism in which the United States is involved or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Underwritten Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or (vi) except as disclosed in the Prospectus, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in or affecting the earnings, business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business.

     10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of each Selling Stockholder and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Underwriting Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities. The provisions of Sections 5(b)(iv), 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancelation of this Underwriting Agreement.

     11. Notices. All communications under this Underwriting Agreement will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriter, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Attention: Syndicate Manager (fax no. 212-797-9345) and confirmed to 60 Wall Street, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10005, or, if sent to the

EXHIBIT A

The Corporate Executive Board Company
Public Offering of Common Stock

May 4, 2004

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
31 West 52nd Street
New York, New York 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between The Corporate Executive Board Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you as the Underwriter named therein, relating to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.

     In order to induce you to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, announce any intention to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), relating to, any shares of Common Stock or securities or other rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, for a period of 120 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, other than sales, transfers or other distributions in transactions that are not required to be registered under the Act, including charitable contributions, gifts and sales to third parties, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by a restriction on further transfers substantially similar to the restriction set forth herein; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to any exercise by such Selling Stockholder of options to purchase shares of Common Stock.

     If for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), the agreement set forth above shall likewise be terminated.

     
 
Very truly yours,
