The Company has not extended or maintained credit, arranged for the extension of credit, or renewed an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or officer of the Company at any time during which the Company was subject to the provisions of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002.

(eee) The Common Stock and the Public Warrants have been approved for listing, subject to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution, on The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC.

(fff) The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act (an “Emerging Growth Company”).

(ggg) Neither the Company nor any director, executive officer or other officer of the Company participating in the Offering (each, a “Company Covered Person” and, together, “Company Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether

any Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent practicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Representative a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

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

2. Purchase of the Firm Units 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 issue and sell to the several Underwriters, severally and not jointly, an aggregate of 25,000,000 Firm Units, at a purchase price (net of discounts and commissions and the Deferred Underwriting Commission described in Section 5 below) of $9.45 per Firm Unit. The Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase from the Company the number of Firm Units set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof at a purchase price (net discounts and commissions and the Deferred Underwriting Commission) of $9.45 per Firm Unit. The Firm Units are to be offered initially to the public at the offering price of $10.00 per Firm Unit. The Common Stock and the Public Warrants included in the Firm Units will trade separately on the fifty second (52^nd) day following the date hereof unless the Representative determines to allow earlier separate trading. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in no event will the Common Stock and the Public Warrants included in the Firm Units trade separately until (i) the Company has filed with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s receipt of proceeds of the Offering and the Private Placement and updated financial information with respect to any proceeds the Company receives from the exercise of the Over-allotment Option (defined below) if such option is exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K, and (ii) the Company has issued a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment, commencing on the later of one year from the Initial Delivery Date or 30 days after the completion by the Company of a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”) and expiring on the five year anniversary of the completion by the Company of its initial Business Combination, or earlier upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation. Only whole warrants will be exercisable. The respective purchase obligations of the Underwriters with respect to the Firm Units shall be rounded among the Underwriters to avoid fractional shares, as the Representative may determine.

In addition, the Company grants to the Underwriters an Over-allotment Option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Option Units. The Over-allotment Option is exercisable in the event that the Underwriters sell more Firm Units than 25,000,000 Firm Units. No Option Units shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Units previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The Option Units shall be identical in all respects to the Firm Units. The right to purchase Option Units, or any portion thereof, may be exercised from time to time (subject to the limitations in Section 4 below) and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representative to the Company.

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of shares of Option Units (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Option Units to be sold on such Delivery Date as the number of Firm Units set forth in Schedule 1 hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Units.

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any of the Firm Units or Option Units to be delivered on the applicable Delivery Date, except upon payment for all such Units to be purchased on such Delivery Date as provided herein.

3. Offering of Firm Units by the Underwriters. Upon authorization by the Representative of the release of the Firm Units, the Underwriters propose to offer the Firm Units for sale upon the terms and conditions to be set forth in the Prospectus. The Company hereby confirms its engagement of I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) as, and I-Bankers hereby confirms its agreement with the Company to render services as, a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121 with respect to the offering and sale of the Public Securities.

4. Delivery of and Payment for the Firm Units. Delivery of and payment for the Firm Units shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third full business day following the date of this Agreement or at such other date or place as shall be determined by agreement between the Representative and the Company. This date and time are sometimes referred to as the “Initial Delivery Date.” Payment for the Firm Units shall be made on the Initial Delivery Date by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds, payable as follows: $250,000,000 of the proceeds received by the Company for the Firm Units shall be deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established by the Company for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below), as described in the Registration Statement, pursuant to the terms of an Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”). The remaining proceeds (less commissions and actual expense payments or other fees payable pursuant to this Agreement) shall be paid to the order of the Company. Delivery of the Firm Units shall be made to the Representative for the account of each Underwriter against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representative and of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Firm Units being sold by the Company to or upon the order of the Company of the purchase price 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 Firm Units through the facilities of DTC unless the Representative shall otherwise instruct. As used herein, the term “Public Stockholders” means the holders of shares of Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Offering or acquired in the aftermarket, including any stockholder of the Company prior to the Offering to the extent they acquire such shares of Common Stock in the aftermarket (and solely with respect to such shares of Common Stock).

The Over-allotment Option granted in Section 2 will expire 45 days after the date of this Agreement and may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by written notice being given to the Company by the Representative; provided that if such date falls on a day that

is not a business day, the option granted in Section 2 will expire on the next succeeding business day. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Option Units as to which the option is being exercised, the names in which the Option Units are to be registered, the denominations in which the Option Units are to be issued and the date and time, as determined by the Representative, when the Option Units are to be delivered; provided, however, that this date and time shall not be earlier than the Initial Delivery Date nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. Each date and time the Option Units are delivered is sometimes referred to as an “Option Unit Delivery Date,” and the Initial Delivery Date and any Option Unit Delivery Date are sometimes each referred to as a “Delivery Date.”

Delivery of the Option Units by the Company and payment for the Option Units by the several Underwriters through the Representative shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in the preceding paragraph or at such other date or place as shall be determined by agreement between the Representative and the Company. On the Option Unit Delivery Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Option Units to the Representative for the account of each Underwriter against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representative and of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Option Units being sold by the Company to or upon the order of the Company of the purchase price 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 Option Units through the facilities of DTC unless the Representative shall otherwise instruct.

5. Deferred Underwriting Commission. The Representative agrees that 3.50% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Firm Units ($8,750,000) and all of the Option Units (up to $2,062,500) (the “Deferred Underwriting Commission”) will be deposited in and held in the Trust Account and payable directly from the Trust Account, without accrued interest. The Deferred Underwriting Commission shall be paid by the Company to the Underwriters in cash upon the closing of the Company’s Business Combination. In the event that the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination and CST, as trustee of the Trust Account, commences liquidation of the Trust Account as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Underwriters, agrees that: (i) the several Underwriters shall forfeit any rights or claims to the Deferred Underwriting Commission; and (ii) the Deferred Underwriting Commission, together with all other amounts on deposit in the Trust Account, shall be distributed on a pro-rata basis among the Public Stockholders together with any interest thereon (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and any amounts released to the Company to fund working capital requirements).

6. Private Placements

(i) The Representative has advised the Company as follows: in connection with the Company’s organization, the Company issued to MIHI LLC (“MIHI”), an affiliate (as such term is used in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Representative, for aggregate consideration of $25,000, 100 common units (the “Common Units”), in a

private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act; on January 3, 2017, the Company converted into a corporation and, in conjunction with, and effective upon, the conversion, the Common Units were converted into 100 shares of Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”); MIHI subsequently transferred the Founder Shares to the Sponsor pursuant to a written agreement; the Company undertook a stock split, effective as of February 15, 2017, as a result of which the Sponsor held 7,187,500 Founder Shares (up to 937,500 of the Sponsor’s Founder Shares will be subject to forfeiture to the extent the Over-allotment Option is not exercised in full); the Sponsor subsequently sold certain of such shares to certain of the Company’s officers and/or directors (the “initial stockholders”); no underwriting discounts, commissions or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the initial purchase of the Founder Shares. Except as described in the Registration Statement, none of the Founder Shares may be sold, assigned or transferred by the initial stockholders of the Company until the earlier of: (i) one year after the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) when the last reported closing price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the completion of the Business Combination; or earlier, in each case if, subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. The initial stockholders who hold Founder Shares shall have no right to any liquidation distributions with respect to any portion of the Founder Shares. In the event that the Over-allotment Option is not exercised in full, Sponsor will forfeit such number of Founder Shares held by the Sponsor such that the Founder Shares will comprise 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company after giving effect to the Offering.

(ii) Simultaneously with the Initial Delivery Date, the Sponsor will consummate the purchase from the Company pursuant to a written agreement of 7,000,000 warrants (the “Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Placement Warrant in a private placement intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The private placement of the Placement Warrants is referred to herein as the “Private Placement.” No underwriting discounts, commissions or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the Placement Warrants to be sold in the Private Placement. The Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants except that the Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable by the Company and may be exercised on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees. None of the Placement Warrants may be sold, assigned or transferred by the initial purchasers of the Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees until thirty (30) days after completion of a Business Combination (except as disclosed in the Prospectus). The Public Securities, the Placement Warrants and the Founder Shares are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Securities.” The proceeds from the sale of the Placement Warrants shall be deposited into the Trust Account.

7. Working Capital; Interest on Trust.

(i) Upon consummation of the Offering, initially $1,350,000 of the Offering proceeds will be released to the Company and held outside of the Trust Account to fund the working capital requirements of the Company.

(ii) Prior to the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, interest earned on the Trust Account may be released to the Company from the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement to pay any taxes or dissolution expenses incurred by the Company and to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, all as more fully described in the Prospectus.

8. Further Agreements of the Company and the Underwriters. (a) The Company agrees:

11. Additional Covenants.

(a) The Company hereby agrees that until the completion of a Business Combination and other than the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon its exercise of the Public Warrants, it shall not issue any shares of Common Stock or any options or other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, or any preferred shares or other securities of the Company which participate in any manner in the Trust Account or which vote as a class with the shares of Common Stock on a Business Combination.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts prior to commencing its due diligence investigation of any prospective Target Business or prior to obtaining the services of any vendor to have such Target Business and/or vendor acknowledge in writing whether through a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other similar document (and subsequently acknowledge the same in any definitive document replacing any of the foregoing), that (a) it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company has established the Trust Account, initially in an amount of $250,000,000 (without giving effect to any exercise of the Over-allotment Option) for the benefit of the Public Stockholders and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only (i) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their IPO Shares (as defined below) in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) to the Public Stockholders if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the time period set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or (iii) to the holders of the IPO Shares properly submitted in connection with a Stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its IPO Shares within the period of time set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and (b) for and in consideration of the Company (i) agreeing to evaluate such Target Business for purposes of completing a Business Combination with it or (ii) agreeing to engage the services of the vendor, as the case may be, such Target Business or vendor agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account (“Claim”) and waives any Claim it may have in the future as result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for

any reason whatsoever. The Company may forego obtaining such waivers only if the Company shall have received the approval of its Chief Executive Officer and the approving vote or written consent of at least a majority of its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The term “IPO Shares” means the shares of Common Stock contained in the Public Securities.

(c) The Company shall not take any action or omit to take any action which would cause a breach of any of the Insider Letters and will not allow any amendments to, or waivers of, such Insider Letters without the prior approving vote or written consent of at least a majority of the Board of Directors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Company agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the Company from becoming subject to Rule 419 under the Securities Act prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, including but not limited to using its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any of the Company’s outstanding securities form being deemed to be a “▇▇▇▇▇ stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act during such period.

(e) The Company shall provide to the Representative or its counsel (if so instructed by the Representative) with 10 copies of all tender offer documents or proxy information and all related material filed with the Commission in connection with a Business Combination concurrently with such filing with the Commission. Documents filed with the Commission pursuant to its ▇▇▇▇▇ system shall be deemed to have been provided to the Representative pursuant to this Section. In addition, the Company shall furnish to any other state in which its initial public offering was registered, such information as may be requested by such state.

(f) The Company shall promptly notify the Representative if the Company ceases to be an Emerging Growth Company at any time prior to the completion of the distribution of the Securities within the meaning of the Act.

(g) The Company will notify the Representative in writing, prior to the applicable Delivery Date, of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Company Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Company Covered Person.

(h) The Company agrees that the Target Business that it acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account at the time of signing the definitive agreement for the Business Combination with such Target Business (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable or interest earned on the Trust Account). The fair market value of such business must be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community. If the Board of Directors of the Company is not able to independently determine that the Target Business meets such fair market value requirement, the Company will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm, that is a member of FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm with

respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. The Company is not required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if the Company’s Board of Directors independently determines that the Target Business does not have sufficient fair market value, provided that the Target Business is not affiliated with an Insider.

(i) Except as the context otherwise requires, all representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties and agreements as of the Initial Delivery Date or the Option Delivery Date, if any, and such representations, warranties and agreements of the Underwriters and the Company, including the indemnity agreements contained in Section 12 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, the Company or any controlling person of the Company, and, with respect to Section 12 only, shall survive termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Public Securities to the Underwriters until the earlier of the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the later of the Initial Delivery Date or the Option Delivery Date, if any, at which time such obligations shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

12. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter 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 (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Public Securities), to which that Underwriter, 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 (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (C) any Permitted Issuer Information used or referred to in any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) used or referred to by any Underwriter, (D) any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (a “Non-Prospectus Road Show”) or (E) any Blue Sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Company (or based upon any information furnished by the Company for use therein) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Public Securities under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road Show or any Blue Sky Application, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Public Securities or the

offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided that the Company shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct), and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, 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; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto or in any Permitted Issuer Information, any Non-Prospectus Road Show or any Blue Sky Application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Underwriter furnished to the Company through the Representative by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 12(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any director, officer, 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 any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show or Blue Sky Application, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show or Blue Sky Application, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein 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 Representative by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 12(e). 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.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 12 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 12, 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 12 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 12. 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 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 12 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 party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, 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 12 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, 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, 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. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), 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 12 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 12(a), 12(b) or 12(c) 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 Public 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 Public 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 shares of the Public 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 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 contributions pursuant to this Section 12(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 12(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 12(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 12(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 Public 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 12(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 regarding delivery of shares by the Underwriters set forth on the cover page of, and the concession and reallowance figures and related disclosure and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters and sentences related to the Underwriters’ intention not to make sales to discretionary accounts and the list of Underwriters and their respective roles and participation in the sale of Public Securities appearing under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the most recent 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 any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Non-Prospectus Road Show.

(f) Without limitation of and in addition to its obligations under the other paragraphs of this Section 12, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless I-Bankers (in the capacity described in this paragraph, the “Independent Underwriter”), its directors, officers and employees and each person who controls Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Public Securities) to which the Independent Underwriter, 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, the Independent Underwriter’s acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of FINRA Conduct Rule 2720) in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Independent Underwriter. The relative benefits received by the Independent Underwriter with respect to the offering contemplated by this Agreement shall, for purposes of Section 12(d), be deemed to be equal to the compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12(d), the Independent Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity.

13. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on any Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the Public Securities that the defaulting Underwriter

agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the number of Firm Units set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the total number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Public Securities on such Delivery Date if the total number of Public Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the total number of Public Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the number of Public Securities that it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other underwriters satisfactory to the Representative who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, all the Public Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other underwriters satisfactory to the Representative do not elect to purchase the shares that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date, this Agreement (or, with respect to any Option Unit Delivery Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, and of the Company to sell, the Option Units) shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 9 and 15. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 13, purchases Public Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase. Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Public Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the Representative or the Company may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Representative may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement.

14. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Units if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 10(i) and 10(k) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Public Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

15. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Public Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 10 hereof is not satisfied, because of a termination pursuant to Section 14 hereof (except as provided below) hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representative on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to reimburse the Underwriters as a

result of a termination without consummation pursuant to Section 14 that results from any of the events described in Section 10(k) hereof. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.

16. 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 companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

17. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this Offering, sale of the Public 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: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company and any other person, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (ii) 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 Public 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; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company.
