therein, without the prior written consent of the Representatives; provided, however, that prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers (as determined by the Initial Purchasers), the Issuers will not file any document under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Final Memorandum unless, prior to such proposed filing, the Issuers have furnished the Representatives with a copy of such document for their review and the Representatives have not reasonably objected to the filing of such document.

The Issuers will promptly advise the Representatives of the receipt by any Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(a) The Issuers shall have requested and caused (i) Dechert LLP, special counsel for the Issuers, to furnish to the Initial Purchasers their opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (with such modifications as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel) and (ii) William T. Gallagher, General Counsel of Holdings, to furnish to the Initial Purchasers his opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (with such modifications as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers and their counsel).

counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchasers; and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Issuers and public officials.

(b) The Initial Purchasers shall have received from Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, special counsel for the Initial Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, with respect to such matters as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably require, and the Issuers shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

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

(i) the representations and warranties of the Issuers in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and the Issuers have complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and

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

(d) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, Holdings shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to the Initial Purchasers letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, that they have performed a review of the unaudited interim financial information of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 and stating in effect that:

(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements included in the Final Memorandum and reported on by them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X;

(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial statements made available by Holdings; their limited review in accordance with the standards established under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100 of the unaudited interim financial information for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005; 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 audit committees of Holdings; and inquiries of certain officials of Holdings who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of Holdings and its subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to December 31, 2004, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(1) any unaudited financial statements included in the Final Memorandum (x) do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect to financial statements included in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act or (y) are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated in the Final Memorandum;

(2) with respect to the period subsequent to September 30, 2005, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of the letter, in the total debt of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries or the capital stock of Holdings or decreases in the shareholders’ equity of Holdings or working capital of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries as compared with the amounts shown on the September 30, 2005 consolidated balance sheet included in the Final Memorandum, or for the period from October 1, 2005 to such specified date there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in net sales, income before income taxes, minority interest and cumulative effect of a change in accounting or net income of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, 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 Holdings as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Representatives; or

(3) the unaudited amounts of any capsule information included in the Final Memorandum do not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited financial statements for the same periods or were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with that of the corresponding amounts in the audited financial statements included in the Final Memorandum or do not conform with generally accepted accounting principles; 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 Holdings and its subsidiaries) included in the Final Memorandum agrees with the accounting records of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

References to the Final Memorandum in this Section 6(d) include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of the applicable letter.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Issuers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum (or in any supplement or amendment thereto) or any information provided by any Issuer to any holder or prospective purchaser of Securities pursuant to Section 5(h), or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Issuers will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Initial Purchaser from whom such person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Initial Purchaser occurs under the circumstance where (i) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Final Memorandum on a timely basis to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) delivery of the Final Memorandum was required by the Act to be made to such person and would have prevented such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, (iii) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum was corrected in the Final Memorandum and (iv) there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the Final Memorandum. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Issuer, each of its directors, each of its officers, and each person who controls an Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Issuers acknowledge that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding the delivery of the Securities, the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids, the first sentence in the third paragraph and the third sentence in the ninth paragraph, each under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and

the Final Memorandum, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Final Memorandum (or in any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages

and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which one or more of the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Initial Purchasers relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Issuers and the Initial Purchasers shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuers shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and Crown Americas Capital, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Issuers on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls an Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of an Issuer shall have the same rights to contribution as such Issuer, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Initial Purchaser. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (at the respective purchase prices set forth in Section 2 and in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do

not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Issuers. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken under this paragraph shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Issuers or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of Citigroup, by notice given to the Company and Crown Americas Capital prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in any of Holdings’ securities shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on any such Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of Citigroup, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Issuers or their respective officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Issuers or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 11 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Initial Purchasers, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup General Counsel (fax no.: (212) 816-7912) and confirmed to Citigroup at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: General Counsel; if sent to the Issuers, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Crown Holdings, Inc., One Crown Way, Philadelphia, PA 19154-4599, Attention: General Counsel (fax no.: (215) 676-6011), with a copy to Dechert LLP, Cira Center, 2929 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, Attention: William G. Lawlor (fax no.: (215) 994-2222).

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

16. No Fiduciary Duty. Holdings, the Company and Crown Americas Capital hereby acknowledge that (a) the Initial Purchasers are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of any Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and (b) their engagement of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering of the Notes is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, Holdings, the Company and Crown Americas Capital agree that they are solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering of the Notes (irrespective of whether any of the Initial Purchasers has advised or is currently advising any Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries on related or other matters).

17. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

1. (a) The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold (x) within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and (y) outside the United States except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act. Each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that, except as otherwise permitted by Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement to which this is an exhibit, it has offered and sold the Securities, and will offer and sell the Securities, (i) as part of their distribution at any time; and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “distribution compliance period”), only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Act. Accordingly, each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and that it and they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Each Initial Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to the confirmation of sale of Securities (other than a sale of Securities pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement to which this is an exhibit), it shall have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

“The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the date of closing of the offering, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Act. Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.”

(b) Each Initial Purchaser also represents and agrees that it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with any distributor with respect to the distribution of the Securities, except with its Affiliates or with the prior written consent of the Issuers.

2. Each Initial Purchaser represents and agrees that (i) it has not offered or sold, and, prior to the expiry of six months from the closing of the offering of the Securities will not offer or sell, any Securities to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities

involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments, whether as principal or agent, for purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, (ii) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom and (iii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Securities in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company, Crown Americas Capital or Holdings.
