The respective amount of the Notes to be purchased by the several Underwriters is set forth opposite their names on Schedule I hereto.

1. Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Issuer and the Parent have prepared and filed on May 27, 2020 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Act”), a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238729) under the Act (“Registration Statement 333-238729”), including a combined prospectus contained therein (the “Basic Prospectus”), relating to the issuance and sale of certain debt securities to be issued by the Issuer, including the Notes, and guarantees of debt securities of the Issuer by the Parent (the “Parent Guarantee”), and the Issuer and the Guarantors have prepared and filed on August 12, 2020 with the Commission an amendment to Registration Statement 333-238729 (the “Registration Statement Amendment”) to register the guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantees” and together with the Parent Guarantee, the “Guarantees”). The Issuer has filed with, or transmitted for filing to, or shall promptly hereafter file with or transmit for filing to, the Commission a supplement to the prospectus included in such registration statement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) specifically relating to the Notes and the plan of distribution thereof pursuant to Rule 424. Each of Registration Statement 333-238729 and the Registration Statement Amendment was automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Act. Except where the context otherwise requires, Registration Statement 333-238729, on each date and time that such registration statement and any post-effective amendment or amendments thereto, including without limitation, the Registration Statement Amendment, became or becomes effective (each, an “Effective Date”), including all exhibits filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and deemed part of such amended registration statement by virtue of Rule 430B (the “Rule 430B Information”), collectively, are herein called the “Registration Statement,” and the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the final Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used by the Issuer in connection with confirmation of sales of the Notes, is herein called the “Prospectus”; and the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means each preliminary form of the Prospectus Supplement used in connection with the offering of the Notes that omitted Rule 430B Information, including the related Basic Prospectus in the form first filed by the Issuer and the Parent pursuant to Rule 424(b). The Basic Prospectus together with the Preliminary Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, immediately prior to the Applicable Time is hereafter called the “Pricing Prospectus,” and any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433) relating to the Notes is hereafter called an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.” The “Applicable Time” shall mean 2:55 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 12, 2020 or such other time as agreed by the Issuer and the Representatives. The Pricing Prospectus, as supplemented by the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, listed in Schedule II hereto or that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package is hereafter collectively called the “Disclosure Package.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act (the “Incorporated Documents”), as of each Effective Date or the Applicable Time or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be (it being understood that the several specific references in this Agreement to documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus are for clarifying purposes only and are not meant to limit the inclusiveness of any other definition herein). For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “stated” or “described” in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing after the Applicable Time of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

5. Agreements of the Issuer and the Guarantors. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) If, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is necessary for a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be declared effective before the offering of the Notes may commence, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will use its best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective as soon as possible and will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing, immediately after such post-effective amendment has become effective.

(b) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would (x) include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading or (y) conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Issuer and the Guarantors will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement, omission or conflicting information; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to the Representatives in such quantities as may be reasonably requested.

(c) The Issuer and the Guarantors will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing: (i) of any review, issuance of comments or request by the Commission or its staff on or for an amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information regarding the Issuer, the Guarantors, their respective affiliates or any filings with the Commission, whether or not such filings are incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose or any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Act relating to the Registration Statement or Section 8A of the Act in connection with the offering of the Notes; (iii) of the receipt by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) within the period of time referred to in the first sentence in subsection (f) below, of any change in the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations, or of the happening of any event, which results in any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) being untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by the Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the Act or any other law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Issuer and the Guarantors will make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.

(d) On request, the Issuer and the Guarantors will furnish to the Representatives and counsel to the Underwriters, without charge: (i) one (1) signed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and all exhibits to the Registration Statement; (ii) such number of conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, but without exhibits, as the Representatives may request; (iii) such number of copies of the Incorporated Documents, without exhibits, as the Representatives may request; and (iv) one (1) copy of the exhibits to the Incorporated Documents.

(e) Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will file any amendment to the Registration Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or, prior to the end of the period of time referred to in the first sentence in subsection (f) below, file any document which upon filing becomes an Incorporated Document, of which the Representatives shall not previously have been advised or to which, after the Representatives shall have received a copy of the document proposed to be filed, the Representatives shall reasonably object; and no such further document, when it is filed, will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will give the Representatives notice of its intention to make any other filing pursuant to the Exchange Act from the Applicable Time to the Closing Time and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing.

(f) After the execution and delivery of this Agreement and thereafter from time to time for such period as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) in connection with sales by the Underwriters or any dealer (including circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Issuer or the Guarantors with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and will expeditiously deliver to the Underwriters and each dealer, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto), any Preliminary Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as each Underwriter may request. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Act and with the securities or blue sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Notes are offered by the Underwriters and by all dealers to whom Notes may be sold, both in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) in connection with sales by the Underwriters or any dealers. If during such period of time: (i) any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Issuer and the Guarantors, or in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, the Prospectus as supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; or (ii) if it is necessary to supplement the Prospectus or amend the Registration Statement (or to file under the Exchange Act any document which, upon filing, would become an Incorporated Document) in order to comply with the Act, the Exchange Act or any other law, the Issuer and the Guarantors will promptly notify the Representatives of such event and forthwith prepare and, subject to the provisions of paragraph (e) above, file with the Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto (or to such document), and will expeditiously furnish to the Underwriters and dealers a reasonable number of copies thereof. In the event that the Issuer and the Representatives agree that the Prospectus should be amended or supplemented, the Issuer, if requested by the Representatives, will promptly issue a press release announcing or disclosing the matters to be covered by the proposed amendment or supplement.

(g) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will: (i) cooperate with the Underwriters and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Notes for offering and sale by the Underwriters and by dealers under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate; (ii) maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Notes; and (iii) file such consents to service of process or other documents necessary or appropriate in order to effect such registration or qualification; provided that in no event shall the Issuer or any Guarantor be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(h) Unless the Issuer or the Guarantors have or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Issuer or the Guarantors with the Commission or retained by the Issuer or the Guarantors under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses listed in Schedule II hereto and any electronic road show. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Issuer and the Guarantors is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(i) The Issuer and the Guarantors will make generally available to its security holders and to the Underwriters as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) months after the end of the Parent’s current fiscal quarter, a consolidated earnings statement of the Parent, which need not be audited, covering a 12-month period, which consolidated earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(j) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date occurring three (3) years hereafter, the Issuer and the Guarantors will furnish to the Underwriters: (i) as soon as available, if requested, a copy of each report of the Parent mailed to stockholders or filed with the Commission that is not publicly available on XXXXX or the Parent’s website; and (ii) from time to time such other information concerning the Issuer or the Guarantors as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(k) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Underwriters for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters) incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any provisions hereof or if this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives because of any inability, failure or refusal on the part of the Issuer or the Guarantors to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement.

(l) The Issuer will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”

(m) If Rule 430A, 430B or 430C is employed, the Issuer will timely file the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) and will advise the Representatives of the time and manner of such filing.

(n) Neither the Issuer nor any affiliate of the Issuer has taken, nor will the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.

(o) The Parent will use its best efforts to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), so long as its Board of Directors deems it in the best interest of the Parent’s stockholders to remain so qualified.

(p) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will use all reasonable best efforts to do or perform all things required to be done or performed by the Issuer and the Guarantors prior to the Closing Date to satisfy all conditions precedent to the delivery of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement.

(q) Neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors will , without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Issuer or the Guarantors or any affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act), on any debt securities or guarantees thereon (other than the Notes and the Guarantees); or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, until after the Closing Date.

(r) Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with all applicable securities and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.

(pp) The Issuer, the Guarantors and their subsidiaries have title insurance on each of the Properties owned in fee simple in amounts at least equal to the cost of acquisition of such property; with respect to an uninsured loss on any of the Properties, the title insurance shortfall would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or in any amendment thereof (including the Rule 430B Information), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading; (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereof) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case arising in connection with this Section 7 to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters Content. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability, which the Issuer and the Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and each of its directors, the Guarantors and each of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Issuer or such Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Underwriters, but only with reference to the Underwriters Content.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party: (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties, except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if: (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall in writing authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event will the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees, costs or expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party for any reason, the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and by the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Notes; provided, however, that in no case shall the Underwriters be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Notes purchased by the Underwriters hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Issuer and the Guarantors and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things: (i) whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Issuer or a Guarantor, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other; (ii) the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge; (iii) access to information; and (iv) the opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters, and each person who controls the Issuer or a Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Issuer or a Guarantor who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Issuer or a Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Notes set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint.

Notice of such termination may be given to the Issuer by electronic transmission or by telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

11. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Notes that it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Notes”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24 -period, then:

(a) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Notes does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the aggregate principal amount of Defaulted Notes exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either (i) the Representatives or (ii) the Issuer shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 11.
