The Securities and the Indenture are more fully described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement (as hereinafter defined). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings specified in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, unless otherwise set forth herein.

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-224247), including a prospectus, relating to debt securities of the Company, including the Securities.

(ii) The operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), except for any instances of non-compliance that would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. No action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(jj) None of the Company, any of its consolidated subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries is (A) an individual or entity (“Person”) currently the subject or target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the United States Government, including, without limitation, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union and Her Majesty’s Treasury (collectively, “Sanctions”) or (B) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive trade sanctions (a “Sanctioned Country”).

7. Additional Representations and Agreements.

(a) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives on behalf of the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives on behalf of other Underwriters, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act, required to be filed with the Commission. Each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as of the date hereof is attached as Schedule B. The Company represents that it has treated, and agrees that it will treat, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. The Company represents that each Issuer Represented Free Writing Prospectus, if any, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or any other prospectus deemed to be a part of the Prospectus that has not been superseded or modified, provided that this representation does not apply to information contained in the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, which information is limited to the information set forth in Schedule C hereto.

8. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each of the Underwriters, (ii) each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the Underwriters (any of the persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any of the Underwriters or any

controlling person (any person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any claim, action, investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Person) directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Represented Free Writing Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters’ Information. The Company shall notify you promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any claim, proceeding (including any governmental investigation) or litigation in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which involves the Company or an Indemnified Person.

(b) In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Persons with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company, the applicable Underwriter with respect to such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing (provided that, the failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability that it may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person under subsection (a) of this Section 8 except to the extent that the Company suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Company from any obligation to provide reimbursement and contribution to any Indemnified Person) and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons and payment of all fees and expenses in connection therewith. Such Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person, unless: (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company; (ii) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person and the Company or any affiliate of the Company and such Indemnified Person shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or such affiliate of the Company or (y) a conflict may exist between such Indemnified Person and the Company or such affiliate of the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate

firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Person affected thereby (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes (i) an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person affected thereby from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding 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 any Indemnified Person.

(c) Each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company and the officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each of the Indemnified Persons, but only with respect to claims and actions based on the Underwriters’ Information relating to such Underwriter. In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against the Company or any of its directors or officers, or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package or Prospectus in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section 8(b) above (except that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, such Underwriter may, but shall not be required to, employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter), and the Company, its directors, any such officers and each such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to the Indemnified Person by Section 8(b) above.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand 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 indemnifying parties and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and any of the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion

as the total proceeds from the offering (net of discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The indemnity and contribution obligations set forth herein shall be in addition to any liability or obligation such party may otherwise have to any indemnified party.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇ of the Underwriters (and its related Indemnified Persons) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriter’s obligations to contribute pursuant to Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

9. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The obligations of each of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities on the Closing Date as provided herein is subject to the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder and to the following conditions:

If on the Closing Date, any of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that such defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of such Securities that all of

the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, each non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase the amount of the Securities that such defaulting Underwriter(s) agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date at a purchase price to the Company equal to 98.568% of the principal amount at maturity of such Securities; provided that in no event shall the number of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Securities, without the written consent of such Underwriter.

Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default by such Underwriter under this Agreement.

11. Effective Date of Agreement and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time on or prior to the Closing Date by you by notice to the Company if any of the following has occurred: (i) on or after the Applicable Time, any Material Adverse Effect occurs, which, in the judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for sale of the Securities, (ii) any new outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or material adverse change in the financial markets of the United States or elsewhere, or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity, crisis or emergency would, in the judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Company’s securities or in trading generally in securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities, the NASDAQ Stock Market or in the over-the-counter markets or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or markets, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, (iv) any declaration of a general banking moratorium by federal, New York or Maryland authorities, (v) the taking of any action by any federal, state or local government or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs that in your judgment has a material adverse effect on the financial markets in the United States, and would, in the judgment of the Representatives, make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities or (vi) the enactment, publication, decree, or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which would, in the judgment of the Representatives, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Pending application of the net proceeds, the Company may invest the net proceeds in short-term securities.
