SECTION 3. Sale and Delivery of Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and each of the Managers agrees that the Company may from time to time seek to sell Shares through a Manager, acting as sales agent, or directly to a Manager acting as principal, as follows:

(a) The Company may submit to a Designated Manager (as defined below) an order (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions) (a “Company Order”) to sell Shares on any Trading Day (as defined herein) in a form and manner as mutually agreed to by the Company and the Designated Manager; provided that the Company will only submit a Company Order to one of the Managers on any single given Trading Day, but in no event more than one Manager, and the Company shall in no event request that the Designated Manager and any other Managers sell Shares on the same day; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall only apply with respect to the Managers acting as sales agents. As used herein, “Designated Manager” shall mean, with respect to any Company Order, the Manager selected by the Company to act as sales agent, provided that such Manager selected by the Company has agreed to act as sales agent; and “Trading Day” shall mean any trading day on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

13

(b) The Shares are to be sold through the Designated Manager on a daily basis or otherwise as shall be agreed to by the Company and the Designated Manager in the Company Order on any day that (A) is a Trading Day, (B) the Company has delivered a Company Order to the Designated Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by email or facsimile to the individuals of the Designated Manager identified in writing to the Company) from any of the individuals listed as authorized representatives of the Company on Schedule C hereto (the “Authorized Company Representatives”) (which list may be updated from time to time upon notice delivered by the Company to the Managers) and (C) the Company shall have satisfied the conditions under Section 5 of this Agreement applicable to such sale on such date. The Company will designate in the Company Order the maximum number of the Shares to be sold by the Designated Manager daily and the minimum pricing of the Shares to be sold, which maximum number or minimum pricing may be a specified number of Shares, a specified dollar amount, respectively, or either may be determined using a formula, calculation or methodology using objective criteria (including but not limited to average daily volume or volume weighted average price) specified in the Company Order, each as shall be agreed to by the Designated Manager (in any event not in excess of the amount available for issuance under the Prospectus and the currently effective Registration Statement); provided, however, that in no event shall the Shares be sold at less than par value per share of the Common Stock.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Designated Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on a particular day all of the Shares designated for the sale by the Company on such day in the Company Order. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) there can be no assurance that any Manager will be successful in selling the Shares, (B) a Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by such Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement, and (C) a Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by such Manager and the Company.

(d) The Company through any of the Authorized Company Representatives or a Manager may upon notice to the other party by telephone (confirmed promptly by email or facsimile), suspend an offering of the Shares with respect to which such Manager is acting as sales agent; provided that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice. Any period during which an offering of the Shares has been suspended by the Company or by all of the Managers is referred to herein as a “Suspension Period.” In addition, the Company may, upon notice to the Designated Manager by telephone (confirmed promptly by email or facsimile to the individuals of the Designated Manager identified in writing to the Company), seek to terminate or amend a Company Order to the extent not completed at the time of notice, and the Designated Manager will use good faith efforts to implement such termination or amendment; provided, however, the Designated Manager will not be obligated to take any action that in its reasonable discretion would disrupt a sale in progress (but not yet confirmed).

14

(e) The Company shall not request the sale of any Shares that would be sold, and any Designated Manager need not make any sale of Shares, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information.

(f) Each of the Managers hereby covenants and agrees to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company only as permitted by the Act and the applicable securities laws and regulations of any jurisdiction.

(g) The compensation and/or commission to the Designated Manager for sales of the Shares on any given day shall be at a rate mutually agreed by the Company and the Designated Manager in connection with the issuance by the Company of a Company Order; provided that in no event shall such rate exceed 2% of the gross offering price of the Shares sold in accordance with the Company Order. The Company may sell Shares to a Manager as principal at a price agreed upon at the relevant Time of Sale. Any compensation or commission due and payable to the Designated Manager with respect to any sale of Shares shall be paid by the Company to the Designated Manager concurrently with the settlement for sales of the Shares by deduction from the proceeds from sales of the Shares payable to the Company.

(h) Settlement for sales of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the second Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Shares sold through or to the Designated Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to such Designated Manager against payment of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Shares less the commission to the Designated Manager with respect to such Shares. Settlement for all such Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to the Designated Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided the Manager shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System (“DWAC”) or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payments in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Shares on any Settlement Date, the Company shall (A) hold the Designated Manager harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (B) pay the Designated Manager any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default. If a Designated Manager breaches this Agreement by failing to deliver the proceeds to which the Company is entitled hereunder on any Settlement Date for the Shares delivered by the Company, the Manager will pay the Company interest based on the effective overnight federal funds rate on such unpaid amount from and including the Settlement Date to but excluding the date on which the unpaid amount, together with interest, has been fully paid. The Authorized Company Representatives, or any designees thereof as notified to the Designated Manager in writing (which, as of the date hereof, shall be individuals listed on Schedule D hereto, as may be updated from time to time upon notice delivered by the Company to the Managers), shall be the contact persons for the Company for all matters related to the settlement of the transfer of the Shares through DWAC for purposes of this Section 3(h).

15

(i) The Designated Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by facsimile or email) to the Authorized Company Representatives following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which the Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth (A) the amount of the Shares sold on such day and the gross offering proceeds received from such sale and (B) the commission payable by the Company to the Designated Manager with respect to such sales.

(j) Any obligation of the Designated Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 of this Agreement.

(k) In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Designated Manager is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow the Designated Manager to properly identify its clients.

(v) To apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in the manner set forth in the Prospectus and shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares, in a manner as would require the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

SECTION 6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees: (1) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Managers, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Manager within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Manager or any such controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) with respect to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the

26

Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in writing to the Company by the Managers specifically for use therein; and (2) to reimburse each Manager and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Manager or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether or not such Manager or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Managers are not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the Managers will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto.

(b) Each of the Managers, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed 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, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) with respect to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided that each Manager will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished in writing to the Company by the Managers specifically for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Manager may otherwise have.

27

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 6, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 6(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 6(a) or (b). In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and counsel to the indemnifying party has reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel in a state or other jurisdiction where such separate law firm does not have an office) for all such indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Manager on the other from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of

28

the Company on the one hand and each Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on one hand and each Manager on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by each Manager. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or each Manager on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), each Manager shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Manager 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.

(e) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 6 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Manager or any person controlling any Manager, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Manager, or any person controlling any Manager, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 6.

SECTION 7. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Managers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Managers or any controlling person of the Managers, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

29

SECTION 8. Termination.

(a) The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to offers and sales of Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that (i) if the Shares have been sold through the Managers for the Company, then Sections 3(h), 3(i), 4(f) and 4(n) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to and to the extent of such Shares sold, (ii) with respect to any pending sale, through the Managers for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of such Manager, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination, and (iii) Sections 4(e), 6, 7, 9, 11 and 13 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(b) Each Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the offers and sales of Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 4(e), 6, 7, 9, 11 and 13 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. The obligation of the other Managers to the Company and of the Company to the Managers shall not be affected by the termination by one Manager.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest of (i) the date on which $500,000,000 aggregate offering price of the Shares are sold under this Agreement, (ii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8(a) or (b) above and (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, any such termination shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 4(e), Section 6 and Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the receipt of such notice by the Managers or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of the Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(h) of this Agreement.
