The Underwritten Securities and the Option Securities are herein referred to as the “Securities.” The Preferred Stock shall have the rights, powers and preferences set forth in a certificate of designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) to be filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below). The Preferred Stock will, when issued, be deposited by the Company against delivery of depositary receipts evidencing the Securities (the “Depositary Receipts”) that are to be issued by Equiniti Trust Company, as Depositary (the “Depositary”), under a Deposit Agreement, to be dated as of the Closing Date (the “Deposit Agreement”), among the Company, the Depositary and the holders from time to time of the Depositary Receipts issued thereunder. To the extent there are no additional parties listed on Schedule II other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you as the Underwriters, and the terms shall be construed as equivalents. The terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. The use of the neuter in this Agreement shall include the feminine and masculine wherever appropriate.

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262359), including a base prospectus dated January 27, 2022, relating to the Securities and the Preferred Stock and other securities of the Company (the “Basic Prospectus”). The registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Securities, in the form first used to confirm sales of 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.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated March 6, 2023, relating to the offering of the Securities, in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act is hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Prospectus.”

For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “Disclosure Package” means the Preliminary Prospectus together with any free writing prospectus set forth in Schedule III hereto and any writings in addition to the Preliminary Prospectus that the parties expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package (“Issuer Written Information”), and “road show” means any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “Basic Prospectus,” “Preliminary Prospectus,” “Disclosure Package” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be. The terms “supplement,” “amendment,” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus supplement 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, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. “Execution Time” means the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto.

1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.

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, including as an automatic shelf registration statement.

(d) The documents filed or are to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Disclosure Package, when they were filed with the Commission conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of such documents contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will 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.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company, as to matters covered thereby.

2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of (i) $24.50 per depositary share for shares sold to institutional investors and (ii) $24.2125 per depositary share for shares sold to other investors (in each case, the “Purchase Price”), the number of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule II hereto.

In addition, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and the Underwriters, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall have the option to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company the Option Securities at the Purchase Price less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Underwritten Securities but not payable on the Option Securities.

If any Option Securities are to be purchased, the number of Option Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the number of Option Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Option Securities being purchased as the number of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto (or such number increased as set forth in Section 9 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Underwritten Securities being purchased from the Company by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate any fractional Securities as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make.

The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase Option Securities at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Option Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Option Securities are to be delivered and paid for, which may be the same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than the tenth full business day (as hereinafter defined) after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least one business day prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein.

3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Underwritten Securities shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on March 13, 2023, or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof. The time and date of such payment for the Underwritten Securities is referred to herein as the “Closing Date,” and the time and date for such payment for the Option Securities, if other than the Closing Date, is herein referred to as the “Additional Closing Date.” As used herein, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law to close in the City of New York. Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the account specified by the Company. Delivery of the Securities shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

4. 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.

5. Agreements. The Company agrees with each Underwriter that:

(a) The Company will furnish to each Underwriter and to counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, during the period referred to in Section 5(f) below, as many copies of the materials contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto as they may reasonably request.

(b) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of the final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof, in the form approved by you and attached as Schedule I hereto.

(c) The Company will not amend or supplement the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package or the Prospectus other than by filing documents under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference therein, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that from the Execution Time to the Closing Date, the Company will (i) not file any document under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus unless, prior to such proposed filing, the Company has 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, and (ii) promptly advise the Representatives when any document filed under the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission.

(d) To furnish to you a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and not to use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which you reasonably object.

(e) 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.

(f) If at any time prior to the completion of the sale of the Securities by the Underwriters (as determined by the Representatives), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Disclosure Package or Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or if it should be necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly (i) notify the Representatives of any such event; (ii) subject to the requirements of Section 5(c), prepare an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented or amended Disclosure Package or Prospectus to the several Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters without charge in such quantities as they may reasonably request.

(g) Without the prior written consent of the Representatives, the Company has not given and will not give to any prospective purchaser of the Securities any written information concerning the offering of the Securities other than materials contained in the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any other offering materials prepared by or with the prior written consent of the Representatives.

(h) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale by the Underwriters under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the sale of the Securities, provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives of the receipt by the Company 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.

(i) If the third anniversary of the initial effectiveness date of the Registration Statement occurs before all the Securities have been sold by the Underwriters, prior to the third anniversary to file a new shelf registration statement and to take any other action necessary to permit the public offering of the Securities to continue without interruption; references herein to the Registration Statement shall include the new registration statement that becomes effective with the Commission.

(j) The Company will use its best efforts to effect the listing of the Securities on the NYSE within the 30-day period after the initial delivery of the Securities and will maintain such listing in effect so long as required for the sale of the Securities and the Preferred Stock.

(k) During the period from the date hereof through and including 30 days after the date of the Prospectus, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any of its affiliates or any person in privity with the Company or any of its affiliates, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering, of any Preferred Stock, any Securities, any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Preferred Stock or the Securities, or any securities exchangeable or convertible into or represent the right to receive Preferred Stock, Securities or such substantially similar securities (other than as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Securities).

(l) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(m) The Company agrees to pay the costs and expenses relating to the following matters: (i) the preparation of the Deposit Agreement and the issuance of the Securities (including the Depositary Receipts) and the fees of the Depositary; (ii) the preparation, printing or reproduction of the materials contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to either of them; (iii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the materials contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and all amendments or supplements to either of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iv) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of the Securities; (v) any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (vi) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (vii) all filing fees and up to $5,000 in reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states and any other jurisdictions specified pursuant to Section 5(h), if any, or exemptions therefrom; (viii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities; (ix) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; (x) all filing fees and up to $15,000 in reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Securities by FINRA, if any, or exemptions therefrom and related disclosure; (xi) all costs and expenses incident to listing the Securities on the NYSE; and (xii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder.

It, however, is understood that, except as provided in this Section 5, and Sections 7 and 8 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Securities by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein at the Time of Sale, the Execution Time, the Closing Date and the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(c) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by (x) the Chief Executive Officer and President and (y) the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, and this Agreement and that:

(i) all representations and warranties of the Company herein are, at and as of the Closing Date or as of the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, true and correct (i) in the case of representations and warranties which are qualified as to materiality, with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, and (ii) in the case of representations and warranties that are not so qualified, in all material respects, and that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable; and

(ii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse effect, or any development involving a prospective material adverse effect, in or affecting the business, properties, general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(d) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, the Company shall have requested and caused KPMG LLP to furnish to the Representatives letters, dated respectively as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date or as of the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives and confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Exchange Act, 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 or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than the date hereof.

All references in this Section 6(d) to the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of the applicable letter.

(e) The Representatives shall have received, at the Execution Time and the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company dated respectively as of the Execution Time or the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives and in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex C, stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such individual, in his or her capacity as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, with respect to the financial information and such other matters as reasonably requested by the Representatives.

(f) The Representatives shall have received, on and as of the Closing Date and as of the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, reasonably satisfactory evidence of the good standing of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries in their respective jurisdictions of organization (to the extent that such concept is applicable), in each case in writing or any standard form of telecommunication, from the appropriate governmental authorities of such jurisdictions, provided that the evidence of good standing for those entities except for the Company may be as of any date reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, through and including the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as applicable.

(l) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

7. Reimbursement of Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of 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 each 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) that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any preliminary prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Written Information, any road show, or any other written information used by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors and officers of the Company 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 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) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Written Information, any road show, or any other written information used by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon 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, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Written Information, any road show, or any other written information used by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities, or in any amendment or supplement thereto; it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the statement set forth in the first sentence of the ninth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting.”

(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 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 (A) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (B) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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. 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.

(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 indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties, 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 indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party or parties, 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, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. 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 respective number 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 purchased and distributed by it were offered 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 the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by any such Underwriter hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for the Representatives or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter, the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities described in the preceding two sentences, the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities described in the preceding two sentences, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter 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 Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 9 with like effect (unless the context otherwise requires) as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange; (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any national exchange; (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal, Delaware or New York State authorities; (iv) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services; or (v) 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 the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters 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 Underwriters or the Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices.

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

17. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that they will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

18. Waiver of Tax Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, purchasers of the Securities (and each employee, representative or other agent of a purchaser) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of any transaction contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the purchasers of the Securities relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

19. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
