The Registration Statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) and complies in all other material respects with such Rule and as of the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) below.

(b) The Company will prepare and file the Prospectus pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b) and a pricing term sheet (the “Pricing Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the Securities, and shall file the Prospectus in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 no later than the close of business on the second business day following the date of determination of the public offering price of the Securities, or if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A, 430B or 430C, as applicable. The Company will also file the Pricing Term Sheet as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to the extent required by Rule 433; and the Company will furnish copies of the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent not previously delivered) on the business day next succeeding the date of this Agreement in such quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(c) Before making, preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review and will not make, prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object.

(d) The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any stop order proceedings pursuant to Section 8A under the Act in respect of a Registration Statement or of any part thereof and will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain, as soon as possible, its lifting.

(e) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be required to be) delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the Representatives’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.

(f) As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), the Company will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder. For the purposes of the previous sentence, “Availability Date” means 60 days after the end of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year after the fiscal year during which such

effective date occurs.

(g) The Company will furnish to the Representatives copies of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits, any related preliminary prospectus, any related preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representatives reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

(h) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(i) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (1) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (2) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Act of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (3) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the documents relating to the sale of the Securities; (4) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (5) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel

for the Underwriters); (6) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (7) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (8) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.; (9) all expenses and application fees, if any, related to the listing of the Securities on any securities exchange; and (10) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.

(j) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters for a period of three years from the date of this Agreement copies of any reports or other communications which the Company shall send to its shareholders or shall from time to time publish or publicly disseminate; provided, however, that any such reports or other communications shall be deemed furnished to the Representatives and, if applicable, the other Underwriters, when publicly filed with the Commission. The Company will furnish to the Representatives and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date such other information as the Representatives may reasonably request regarding the Company or its subsidiaries.

(k) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” 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.

(l) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities in the manner set forth under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(m) The Company will not, without the consent of the Representatives, offer or sell, or publicly announce its intention to offer or sell, (i) any equity or debt securities pursuant to a public offering or (ii) any equity or unsecured debt securities pursuant to a private placement which contemplates the purchasers of such equity or debt securities receiving customary registration rights, in each case during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date. The Company has not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities on the Closing Date shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company, to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

(a) The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated the date of this Agreement, of KPMG LLP confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and schedules and the financial information of the Company contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives.

(b) The Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Act (in the case of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, only to the extent required by Rule 433) and Section 6(a) and Section 6(c) of this Agreement, as applicable, and all requests by the Commission for additional information shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Representatives. No stop order proceeding or notice pursuant to Section 8A of, or Rule 401(g)(2) under, the Act suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof or objecting to the use thereof shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Representatives, shall be contemplated by the Commission.

(c) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred (1) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company or its subsidiaries which, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Securities; (2) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement that the Company has been placed on negative outlook; (3) any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering of the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities; (4) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (5) any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (6) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. federal or New York authorities; or (7) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the United States.

Such counsel shall also state that it has reviewed the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and participated in discussions with representatives of the Underwriters and those of the Company, the Underwriters’ counsel and the Company’s accountants and that, on the basis of the information which was reviewed by such counsel in the course of the performance of the services rendered in connection with the issuance, offer and sale of the Securities, considered in the light of such counsel’s understanding of the applicable law and the experience such counsel has gained through its practice under the federal securities laws, such counsel confirms to the Underwriters that nothing which came to such counsel’s attention in the course of such review has caused such counsel to believe that: (a) the Registration Statement, at

the 430B Effective Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (c) the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date of such counsel’s opinion, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion or belief as to the financial statements, including the notes thereto, the financial schedules, and the other financial data included or deemed incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or with respect to the Form T-1.

(e) The Representatives shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer for the Company, to the effect that:

(ii) Each Significant Subsidiary is a company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization with the requisite corporate power and authority to own its respective properties and to conduct its respective business as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except where the failure to be validly existing, to be in good standing, and to have such power and authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect (in rendering this opinion with respect to jurisdictions other than the State of New York, such counsel may state that he is relying exclusively on certificates and other documents of public officials of such jurisdictions);

(iii) The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the jurisdictions of Arizona and South Carolina (in rendering this opinion, such counsel may state that he is relying exclusively on certificates and other documents of public officials of such jurisdictions);

(iv) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in breach of, or in default under (nor has any event occurred which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of, or default under), (1) its charter or by-laws, (2) any “material contract” (within the meaning of Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K) to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties may be bound or affected, (3) any federal or New York State law, regulation or rule, or (4) any decree, judgment or order applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except for, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, breaches and defaults that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect;

(v) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Officers’ Certificate and the issuance of the Securities by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and under the Indenture do not and will not conflict with, or result in any breach of, or constitute a default under (nor constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of or default under), any provision of (1) the charter or by-laws of the Company or (2) any license, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan, credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties may be bound or affected, or (3) any law, regulation or rule or any decree, judgment or order applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except for, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, conflicts, breaches or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect;

(vi) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, there are no contracts, licenses, agreements, leases or documents of a character which are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or any other Company filing incorporated by reference therein or to be summarized or described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus which have not been so filed, summarized or described;

(vii) To the best of counsel’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, at law or in equity or before or by any commission, board, body, authority or agency which are required to be described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus but are not so described; and

(viii) The documents incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, when they were filed (or, if an amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder (except as to the financial statements (and related notes thereto) and schedules and other financial data contained or incorporated by reference therein, and the Form T-1, as to which such counsel need express no opinion).

In addition, such counsel shall state that he has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, and members of such counsel’s staff have participated in conferences with representatives of the independent, registered public accounting firm of the Company and representatives of the Underwriters, at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus were discussed and, although such counsel has not independently verified, is not passing upon, and does not assume responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, on the basis of the foregoing, and except for the Form T-1, the financial statements (and related notes thereto) and schedules and other information of an accounting or financial nature included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express an opinion or belief, no facts have come to such counsel’s attention that led such counsel to believe that: (1) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective (which, for such counsel’s opinion, shall have the

meaning set forth in Rule 158(c)), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (2) the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (3) the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date of such opinion, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated the Closing Date, of KPMG LLP which meets the requirements of Section 7(a), except that KPMG LLP’s procedures shall be brought down to a date no more than three days prior to the Closing Date for the purposes of this Section 7(h).

The Representatives may in their sole discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers and its affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or 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 (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, 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 in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) below.

(b) Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers 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 may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or 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 (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in each Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information contained in the Prospectus that is set forth on Schedule D hereto.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not

relieve it from any liability that it may have under Section 8(a) or 8(b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under Section 8(a) or 8(b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more defenses available to it that are in actual or potential conflict with those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), the reasonable fees and expenses of such indemnified party’s counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for any indemnified party in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising in the same jurisdiction out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(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 Section 8(a) or 8(b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities 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 shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. 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 or the Underwriters and the

parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this 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 above in this Section 8(d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 8(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public 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 Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 8(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default(s) in their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters, may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default(s) and the aggregate number of shares of Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of

shares of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 9. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 6 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect, and if any Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in Section 3 and all obligations under Section 6 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Securities.

15. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

16. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

17. U.K. Bail-in Legislation: Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Agreement or any other agreements, arrangements, or understanding between the Underwriters and the Company, the Company acknowledges and accepts that a UK Bail-in Liability arising under this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of UK Bail-in Powers by the relevant UK resolution authority, and acknowledges, accepts, and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the effect of the exercise of UK Bail-in Powers by the relevant UK resolution authority in relation to any UK Bail-in Liability of the Underwriters to the Company under this Agreement, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (i) the reduction of all, or a portion, of the UK Bail-in Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the UK Bail-in Liability into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Underwriters or another person, and the issue to or conferral on the Issuer of such shares, securities or obligations; (iii) the cancellation of the UK Bail-in Liability; and (iv) the amendment or alteration of any interest, if applicable, thereon, the maturity or the dates on which any payments are due, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; and

18. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Company’s securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company, on the one hand, and the Representatives, on the other, has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Representatives have advised or are advising on other matters;

(b) the price of the securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representatives, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) it has been advised that the Representatives and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Representatives shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

(e) Any review by the Representative or any Underwriter of the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representative or such Underwriter, as the case may be, and shall not be on behalf of the Company, as the case may be, or any other person.

*	Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

Note: It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about March 9, 2023, which is the third business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.

Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to the second business day before the delivery of the notes should consult their own advisors.
