Ladies and Gentlemen:

Sequans Communications S.A., a société anonyme incorporated in the French Republic (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell 12,500,000 Ordinary Shares (as defined below) in the form of ADSs (as defined below), to you and to the several other Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), and each of the several Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase an aggregate of 12,500,000 ADSs (the “Firm ADSs”), each representing one Ordinary Share of the Company. The Company has also agreed to grant to you and the other Underwriters an option (the “Option”) to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 ADSs on the terms and for the purposes set forth in Section 1(b) (the “Option ADSs”). The Firm ADSs and the Option ADSs are referred to collectively herein as the “Offered ADSs.” Each reference to the Firm ADSs, the Option ADSs or the Offered ADSs herein, unless the context otherwise requires, also includes the Ordinary Shares underlying such ADSs. As used herein, “Ordinary Shares” means the ordinary shares, nominal value €0.02 per share, of the Company, “ADS” means an American Depositary Share representing one such Ordinary Share, “ADR” means an American Depositary Receipt evidencing the ADSs and “Underlying Shares” means the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs.

The Offered ADSs will be delivered by the Depositary (as defined below), against deposit of the underlying Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the Deposit Agreement dated as of April 14, 2011 (the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the owners and holders from time to time of the ADSs issued thereunder.

The Company confirms as follows its agreements with the Representative and the several other Underwriters.

1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase.

(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Company agrees to issue and sell the Firm ADSs to the several Underwriters and (ii) each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company the respective number of Firm ADSs set forth opposite that Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto, at the purchase price of $1.504 for each Firm ADS, net of underwriting discounts and commissions.

(b) Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company grants the Option to the several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 1,875,000 Option ADSs at the same price per ADS as the Underwriters shall pay for the Firm ADSs. The Option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm ADSs by the Underwriters and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before the 30th day after the date of this Agreement upon written notice (an “Option ADSs Notice”) by the Representative to the Company no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, at least two and no more than five business days before the date specified for closing in the Option ADSs Notice (an “Option Closing Date”), setting forth the aggregate number of Option ADSs to be purchased and the time and date for such purchase. On an Option Closing Date, the Company will issue and sell to the Underwriters, and each Underwriter will purchase such percentage of the Option ADSs as is equal to the percentage of Firm ADSs that such Underwriter is purchasing, as adjusted by the Representative in such manner as they deem advisable to avoid fractional shares.

2. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of the Firm ADSs shall be made to or as instructed by the Representative for the accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representative against payment by the Underwriters of the purchase price by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the order of the Company at the office of Xxxxxxx & Company, LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second (or, if the purchase price set forth in Section 1(a) hereof is determined after 4:30 p.m., New York City time, the fourth) business day after the date of this Agreement, or at such time on such other date, not later than seven business days after the date of this Agreement, as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Representative (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).

To the extent the Option is exercised, delivery of the Option ADSs against payment by the Underwriters (in the manner specified above) will take place at the offices specified above for the Closing Date at the time and date (which may be the Closing Date) specified in the applicable Option ADSs Notice.

The Offered ADSs shall be in definitive form and shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representative shall request at least two business days prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be, by written notice to the Company, and shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company as instructed by the Representative through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Company agrees to make certificates representing the Offered ADSs or evidence of their issuance available for inspection at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be. If the Representative so elects, delivery of the Offered ADSs may be made by credit through full fast transfer to the accounts at DTC designated by the Representative.

The cost of original issue tax stamps and other transfer taxes, if any, in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Firm ADSs and Option ADSs by the Company to the respective Underwriters shall be borne by the Company. The Company will pay and save each Underwriter and any subsequent holder of the Offered ADSs harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any failure or delay in paying federal and state stamp and other transfer taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the original issuance or sale to such Underwriter of the Offered ADSs.

(k) At the Closing Date and, as to the Option ADSs, the applicable Option Closing Date, there shall be furnished to the Underwriters a certificate, dated the date of its delivery, signed by each of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, to the effect that:

(iii) Each of the covenants required to be performed by the Company herein on or prior to the date of such certificate has been duly, timely and fully performed and each condition herein required to be satisfied or fulfilled on or prior to the date of such certificate has been duly, timely and fully satisfied or fulfilled.

7. Indemnification.

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls each Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), 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, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Base Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Marketing Materials or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, or the omission or alleged omission to state in such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the sale of the Offered ADSs in the public offering to any person by an Underwriter and is based on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative, on behalf of any Underwriter, expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Base Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the fifth and ninth through fourteenth paragraphs (inclusive of such paragraphs) under the heading

“Underwriting” in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Base Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, as set forth in Section 7(a), but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative, on behalf of such Underwriter, expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Base Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the fifth and ninth through fourteenth paragraphs (inclusive of such paragraphs) under the heading “Underwriting” in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information relating to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Base Prospectus, Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter might otherwise have.

(c) Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 7 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 7, notify each such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, enclosing with such notice a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the loss of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related

proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action 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 (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7 in respect of any losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Underwriters, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered ADSs as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be 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 into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), 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 7(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by it and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. For purposes of

this Section 7(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against any such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 7(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 7(d). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, (ii) acceptance of any of the Offered ADSs and payment therefor, or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

8. Reimbursement of Certain Expenses. In addition to its other obligations under Section 7(a) of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Underwriters on a quarterly basis for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon, in whole or in part, any statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, or any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or failure of the Company to perform its or their respective obligations hereunder or under law, all as described in Section 7(a), notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the obligations under this Section 9 and the possibility that such payment might later be held to be improper; provided, however, that, to the extent any such payment is ultimately held to be improper, the persons receiving such payments shall promptly refund them.

9. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing Date (or, with respect to the Option ADSs, on or prior to the applicable Option Closing Date), by notice to the Company from the Representative, without liability on the part of any Underwriter to the Company if, prior to delivery and payment for the Firm ADSs or Option ADSs, as the case may be, in the sole judgment of the Representative, (i) trading in any of the equity securities of the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NYSE, (ii) trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on such exchange, or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by such exchange, by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority, or by the NYSE, (iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York State or French authorities or any material disruption of the securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, or (iv) any material adverse change in the financial or securities markets in the United States or France or in political, financial or economic conditions in the United States or France, any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the United States or France, a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or France, or other calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States or France, shall have occurred, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the delivery of and payment for the Offered ADSs.

If for any reason the purchase of the Offered ADSs by the Underwriters is not consummated or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Underwriters) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the Offered ADSs.

10. Substitution of Underwriters. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase any of the Firm ADSs that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder, and the aggregate number of Firm ADSs that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm ADSs, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the Firm ADSs that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase, in the proportions which the number of Firm ADSs that they have respectively agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 1 bears to the aggregate number of Firm ADSs which all such non-defaulting Underwriters have so agreed to purchase, or in such other proportions as the Representative may specify; provided that in no event shall the maximum number of Firm ADSs that any Underwriter has become obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by more than one-ninth of such number of Firm ADSs without the prior written consent of such Underwriter. In any such case either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be affected. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase any Firm ADSs that it or they agreed to purchase hereunder and the aggregate number of Firm ADSs which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Firm ADSs and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Firm ADSs are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company for the purchase or sale of any ADSs under this Agreement. Any action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

11. No Fiduciary Relationship. Notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered ADSs pursuant to this Agreement (including the determination of the terms of the offering of the Offered ADSs) is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Underwriters, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and have no obligation to disclose or account to the Company for any of such differing interests, and (v) the Company has consulted its own legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company hereby agrees that it will not claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

12. Miscellaneous. Notice given pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified, shall be mailed or delivered (a) if to the Company, at the office of the Company, 00-00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx xx Xxxxxx, 00000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Esq. or (b) if to the Underwriters, to the Representative at the offices of Xxxxxxx & Company, LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate

Finance Department, with a copy to DLA Piper LLP (US), 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Facsimile: 000-000-0000, Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx III. Any such notice shall be effective only upon receipt. Any notice under Section 10 may be made by telecopier or telephone, but if so made shall be subsequently confirmed in writing.

This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters, the Company and the controlling persons, directors and officers referred to in Section 7, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successors and assigns” as used in this Agreement shall not include a purchaser, as such purchaser, of Offered ADSs from the several Underwriters.

This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Company consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Company hereby irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of a proceeding in any such court and consent to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Underwriter or any indemnified party. The Company hereby irrevocably designates GKL Corporate/Search, Inc., Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 as agent upon whom process against the Company may be served. The Underwriters and the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its securityholders and affiliates) waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Company agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than United States dollars, the Company will indemnify the Underwriters against any loss incurred by any Underwriter as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (b) the rate of exchange at which any Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by such Underwriter. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into United States dollars.

This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

In case any provision in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Each of the Company and the Underwriters hereby waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement among the Company and the Underwriters.
