Ladies and Gentlemen:

Southwest Gas Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named in Schedule 1 attached to this agreement (this “Agreement”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule 1 of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.800% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 4, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), and a supplemental indenture to be dated as of December 1, 2022 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). This is to confirm the agreement concerning the purchase of the Securities from the Company by the Underwriters.

1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that:

(a) A Registration Statement (as defined below) on Form S-3 relating to the Securities (i) has been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations (together, the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder; (ii) has been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act; and (iii) is effective under the Securities Act. Copies of such Registration Statement and any amendment thereto have been delivered by the Company to BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC, as the representatives (“you” or the “Representatives”) of the Underwriters. For the avoidance of doubt, the availability to the Underwriters of such Registration Statement and any amendment thereto on the Commission’s ▇▇▇▇▇ database shall satisfy the Company’s delivery obligation with respect thereto. As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Applicable Time” means November 29, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. (New York City time);

(ii) “Effective Date” means any date as of which any part of such registration statement relating to the Securities became, or is deemed to have become, effective under the Securities Act in accordance with the Rules and Regulations;

(iii) “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means each “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433(h) of the Rules and Regulations) prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection with the offering of the Securities, including each “road show” (as defined in Rule 433(h) of the Rules and Regulations) relating to the offering of the Securities that is a “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Rules and Regulations);

(iv) “Preliminary Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus supplement, dated November 29, 2022, specifically relating to the Securities, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”), together with the prospectus that is included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness and that omits Rule 430B Information (as defined below);

(v) “Pricing Disclosure Package” means, as of the Applicable Time, the Preliminary Prospectus, together with the information included in Schedule 2 hereto and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or used by the Company on or before the Applicable Time, other than any road show that is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;

(vi) “Prospectus” means the final prospectus supplement, dated November 29, 2022 relating to the Securities, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), together with the prospectus that is included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness and that omits Rule 430B Information; and

(vii) “Registration Statement” means, collectively, the various parts of the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the Securities (File No. 333- 251074-01),

each as amended as of the Effective Date for such part, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness and all exhibits to such registration statement (“Rule 430B Information”).

Any reference to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Form S-3 under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement; and all references to information that is “included” or “contained” in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Pricing Disclosure Package (and any similar references) shall mean and include all information that is incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Form S-3 under the Securities Act. Any reference to any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to any document filed under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. The Commission has not issued any order preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and no proceeding or examination for such purpose has been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission. The Commission has not notified the Company of any objection to the use of the form of the Registration Statement.

(b) Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), has been since the time of the initial filing of the Registration Statement and continues to be a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations). The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent and is eligible to use Form S-3 for the offering of the Securities. Neither Parent nor the Company has been an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) at any such time or date. The Company will pay the registration fee for this offering pursuant to Rule 456(b)(1) under the Securities Act within the time period required by such rule (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and in any event prior to the Closing Date. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) and was filed not earlier than the date that is three years prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Section 4 hereof). No notice of objection of the Commission to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Parent or by the Company. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Parent or the Company or related to the offering of the Securities has been initiated or threatened by the Commission.

(c) The Registration Statement conformed and will conform in all material respects on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date, and any amendment to the Registration Statement filed after the date hereof will conform in all material respects when filed, to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,

as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Prospectus will conform, in all material respects when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations. The documents incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus conformed, and any further documents so incorporated will conform, when filed with the Commission, in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(d) The Registration Statement did not, as of the Effective Date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in Section 8(e) hereof and (ii) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (the “Form T-1”) of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act.

(e) No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Preliminary Prospectus included in the Pricing Disclosure Package, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, and no Preliminary Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the Preliminary Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in Section 8(e) hereof.

(f) The Prospectus does not and will not, as of its date and on the Closing Date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in Section 8(e) hereof.

(g) The documents incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) The Pricing Disclosure Package did not, as of the Applicable Time, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

provided that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in Section 8(e) hereof.

(i) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including, without limitation, any road show that is a free writing prospectus under Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations), when considered together with the Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no representation or warranty is made as to information contained in or omitted from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, which information is specified in Section 8(e) hereof.

(j) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations on the date of first use, and the Company has complied or will comply, as applicable, with any filing requirements applicable to such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. The Company has not made any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). The Company has retained in accordance with the Rules and Regulations all Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that were not required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted with or will conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(k) The Company (A) has been duly incorporated, organized or formed and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business; and (B) is duly registered and qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business conducted by it or the location of the properties owned, leased or operated by it make such registration or qualification necessary, except, as it relates to this clause (B), for such jurisdictions where the failure to so register, qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). Except for the subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3 hereto, the Company does not have any subsidiaries or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity. No subsidiary of the Company is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations) and no two or more subsidiaries of the Company considered in the aggregate constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations).

(l) The shares of issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and were issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws.

(m) The Indenture has been duly authorized by the Company and, upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, was or will have been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and, when duly executed and delivered in accordance with its terms by each of the parties thereto, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, usury, stay, extension or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles relating to enforceability (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

(n) The Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and, when duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided herein, will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(o) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Securities and the Indenture (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”). This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(p) None of the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities by the Company, compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents nor the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound, or to which any of their properties is subject; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any claim, lien, encumbrance, security interest, restriction upon voting or transfer, preemptive rights or any other claim of any third party (collectively, “Liens”) upon any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or other organizational documents of the Company; or (iv) violate any law, rule, administrative regulation or decree of any court or any governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, except, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv), conflicts, breaches, Liens, defects or violations that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, properties or business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the performance by the Company of this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(q) No permit, consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body (including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) or financial institution is required for the issue and sale of the Securities, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, or the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except (i) for the registration of the Securities under the Securities

Act; (ii) for the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; (iii) from the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California; (iv) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, registrations or qualifications as may be required under the Exchange Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities through the Underwriters; and (v) where the failure to obtain such permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, registrations or qualifications would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r) There are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.

(s) The Company has not sold or issued any securities that would be integrated with the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations or the interpretations thereof by the Commission.

(u) The financial statements (including the related notes and supporting schedules) included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the entities purported to be shown thereby at the dates and for the periods indicated (subject to year-end adjustments in the case of unaudited interim financial statements) and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and conform in all material respects with GAAP, except as otherwise noted therein; and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement present fairly in all

(z) There are no statutes or regulations, legal or governmental proceedings or contracts or other documents that would be required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each case including, without limitation, the documents incorporated by reference therein) or, in the case of contracts or other documents, to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement, that are not described and filed as required under applicable law.

(aa) To the knowledge of the Company, no labor disturbance by or dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or is imminent that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

due, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in default in the payment of any taxes which were payable pursuant to said returns or any assessments with respect thereto, except for any such taxes or assessments which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if any, have been established in accordance with GAAP and statutory accounting principles, and no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company does not have any knowledge of any tax deficiencies that have been, or could reasonably be expected to be, asserted against the Company that would, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(dd) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its respective articles of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational documents, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (i) is in default, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its properties or assets is subject or (ii) is in violation of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation or order of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over it or its property or assets, except in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent any such conflict, breach, violation or default would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received notice of any revocation or modification of any such Permits or has any reason to believe that any such Permits will not be renewed in the ordinary course, except where such revocation, modification or non-renewal would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(gg) The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess, or have the ability to acquire, all patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems

or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names currently employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them, except where the failure to own, possess or have the ability to acquire such patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of the Company nor its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any of the foregoing which, individually or in the aggregate, if subject to any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, has (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; or (iii) made any bribe or other unlawful payment.

(jj) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”) or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law, including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA, and the Company, its subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, its affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

(rr) The Company and each of its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except where the failure to have such good and marketable title or the existence of any such Liens would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All assets held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such assets by the Company and its subsidiaries, except where the failure of any such leases to be valid, subsisting or enforceable or the existence of such exceptions would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ss) No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company, on the one hand, and the directors, officers, shareholders, customers or suppliers of the Company, on the other hand, that is required to be described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus which is not so described.

(tt) The statements set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Other Indebtedness,” “Description of the Notes,” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe the Securities, and other documents and legal matters referred to therein, are accurate in all material respects.

(uu) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person (other than this Agreement) that would give rise to a valid claim against any of them or the Underwriters for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities.

(vv) None of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities has been or will be paid to the Underwriters (except for the payment of the commissions pursuant to this Agreement) or, to the knowledge of the Company, to any affiliate of the Underwriters; and the Company is not an “affiliate” (as defined in FINRA Rule 5121) of any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

(ww) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company (i) does not have any material lending or other relationship with any bank or lending affiliate of any Underwriter and (ii) does not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities to repay any outstanding debt owed to any affiliate of any Underwriter.

(xx) The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with, and conduct their respective businesses in conformity with, all applicable state, federal, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the operation and ownership of a public utility, including, without limitation, those relating to the distribution and transmission of natural gas, except to the extent that any failure so to comply or conform would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(yy) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries believes they are insured with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses, including, but not limited to, insurance against accidents, third-party injury or general liability and insurance covering certain real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and each of its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and all other risks customarily insured against. All policies of insurance insuring the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect; the Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and there are no claims by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, that individually or in the aggregate are material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken together as a whole, under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause; and, except as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(zz) The Company and its subsidiaries’ information technology assets and equipment, computers, systems, networks, hardware, software, websites, applications, and databases (collectively, “IT Systems”) are adequate for, and operate and perform in all material respects as required in connection with the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently conducted, free and clear of all material bugs, errors, defects, Trojan horses, time bombs, malware and other corruptants. The Company and its subsidiaries have implemented and maintained commercially reasonable controls, policies, procedures, and safeguards to maintain and protect their material confidential information and the integrity,

continuous operation, redundancy and security of all IT Systems and data (including all personal, personally identifiable, sensitive, confidential or regulated data (“Personal Data”)) used in connection with their businesses, and there have been no breaches, violations, outages or unauthorized uses of or accesses to the same, except for those that have been remedied without material cost or liability or the duty to notify any other person, nor any incidents under internal review or investigations relating to the same. The Company and its subsidiaries are presently in material compliance with all applicable laws or statutes and all judgments, orders, rules and regulations of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, internal policies and contractual obligations relating to the privacy and security of IT Systems and Personal Data and to the protection of such IT Systems and Personal Data from unauthorized use, access, misappropriation or modification.

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

2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters. On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell the Securities at a price equal to 99.267% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, from December 1, 2022, to the several Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase the principal amount of the Securities set forth opposite that Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto.

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any of the Securities to be delivered on the Closing Date, except upon payment for all such Securities to be purchased on such Closing Date as provided herein.

3. Offering of Securities by the Underwriters. The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Securities, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package.

4. Delivery of and Payment for the Securities. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made at 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on December 1, 2022 or at such other date or place as shall be determined by agreement between the Representatives and the Company. This date and time are sometimes referred to as the “Closing Date.” Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the Representatives against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Securities being sold by the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Company. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified pursuant to this Agreement is a further condition of the obligation of each Underwriter hereunder. The Company shall deliver the Securities through the facilities of Depository Trust Company unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any affiliate, director, officer, member, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or

is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Road Show or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Road Show, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any 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, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 8(e) hereof, and shall reimburse the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees or controlling persons promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person of the Company.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, 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 claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with one counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified parties, jointly, shall have the right to employ one counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, members, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 8 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, members, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, members, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same

counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall (i) 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 and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability as to the indemnified party or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) 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, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, 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, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the principal amount of Securities purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, 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 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 contribution pursuant to this Section 8(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, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(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 8(d), no

Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The Underwriters severally confirm, and the Company acknowledges and agrees, that the statements set forth in the first and second sentences in the first paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Commissions and Discounts,” the third and fourth sentences in the first paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—New Issue of Notes” and the first and second paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Short Positions” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.

9. Termination.

(a) The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by written notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 7(j), 7(k) and 7(l) hereof shall have occurred, or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 or Section 10, the Company shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11, reimburse the Underwriters for all their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters.

10. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements

satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 6, Section 8, and Section 11 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case, either the Representatives 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, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10. Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

11. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to perform any agreement to be performed on its part hereunder, or because any other condition of the obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company is not fulfilled for any reason, or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel) not to exceed $250,000 incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to reimburse the out-of-pocket expenses of any defaulting Underwriter referred to in Section 10 hereof or any Underwriter found to be in breach of this Agreement as of the Applicable Time.

12. Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the Company.

13. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, sale of the Securities or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company and any other

person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (b) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to the Company, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Securities, and such relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company hereby waives any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

MATTERS TO BE COVERED BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP OPINION

The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with corporate power to own and lease its properties, and to carry on its business as described in the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

2.	The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe the provisions of, the Underwriting Agreement.

The statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Notes,” insofar as it purports to constitute a summary of the provisions of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, fairly summarize, in all material respects, such provisions; and the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as it purports to constitute a summary of legal matters, fairly summarizes, in all material respects, such matters.

The Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement; the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to subparagraph (5) of Rule 424(b) of the Act; and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued or threatened by the Commission, and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act has been received by the Company.

6.	The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement have been duly authorized by necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Underwriting Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

EXHIBIT B

MATTERS TO BE COVERED BY COMPANY’S CORPORATE SECRETARY/LEGAL COUNSEL

1.	The Company has no “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations).

The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and, except, individually or in the aggregate, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required.

To the best of my knowledge after reasonable inquiry, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of or is in default in the performance of any obligation contained in any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or in any material agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties may be bound which violation or default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the best of my knowledge after reasonable inquiry, there are no rights that entitle or will entitle any person to acquire any security of the Company upon the issuance of the Notes by the Company; to the best of my knowledge after reasonable inquiry, there is no holder of any security of the Company or any other person who has the right, contractual or otherwise, to cause the Company to sell or otherwise issue to them, or to permit them to underwrite the sale of, any security of the Company as a result of the issuance of the Notes by the Company.

The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes do not: (A) violate, breach, or result in a default under any existing obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its properties bound that is an exhibit to the Registration Statement or to any document incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any other agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument known to me after reasonable inquiry, which violation, breach or default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (B) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of the Company under any order, judgment or decree of any Nevada or federal court or governmental authority binding on the Company, which violation or breach could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (C) violate any applicable Nevada law, ordinance, administrative or governmental rule or regulation.

B-1

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any Nevada governmental authority is required on the part of the Company for the issuance and sale of the Notes as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement , except: (A) such as have been obtained under the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (B) such as may be required under applicable foreign or state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Notes by the Underwriters.

To the best of my knowledge after reasonable inquiry, the descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus of statutes, legal, governmental and regulatory proceedings and contracts and other documents are accurate in all material respects; and, to the best of my knowledge after reasonable inquiry, other than as described or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their property is subject, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
