2. Sale of Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and the Managers agree that the Company may from time to time seek to sell Shares through a Manager that the Company has designated as sales agent to sell Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as of any given time (each, a “Designated Manager”), acting as sales agent, or directly to any of the Managers, acting as principal, as follows:

(a) The Company, acting through (i) one or more of its Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer or (ii) the Senior Vice President, Finance, acting, as attorney-in-fact, pursuant to a power of attorney issued on behalf of the Company by its Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer (each of such officers or attorneys-in-fact, an “Authorized Person”), may submit its orders to the Designated Manager (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions) to sell Shares on any Trading Day (as defined herein) which order shall be confirmed by the Designated Manager (and accepted by the Company, acting through one or more Authorized Persons) by electronic mail using a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit B. As used herein, “Trading Day” shall mean any trading day on the Exchange, other than a day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Manager, at any time it is a Designated Manager, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to execute any Company order submitted to it hereunder to sell Shares and with respect to which the Designated Manager has agreed to act as sales agent. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that any Designated Manager will be successful in selling the Shares, (ii) no Designated Manager will incur any liability to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason and (iii) no Manager shall be under any obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed between such Manager and the Company.

(c) The Company shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and a Designated Manager shall not sell, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) above. In addition, the Company or a Designated Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto (confirmed promptly by email or facsimile), suspend an offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice. Any obligation under Sections 6(l), 6(m), 6(n), 6(o), 6(p) and 6(q) with respect to the delivery of certificates, opinions, or comfort letters to the Managers, or the conduction of diligence reviews or calls, shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time when such suspension is in effect. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 2 shall be effective against any other party unless it is made pursuant to Section 18 hereof.

(d) The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Shares shall be effected by or through only one Manager on any single given day, which shall be the Designated Manager on such date, and in no event by more than one Manager.

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

(f) At each Time of Sale, Settlement Date, Time of Delivery and Representation Date (as defined below), the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement. Any obligation of a Designated Manager to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein (and the completion of any reasonable diligence to verify such accuracy by such Designated Manager), to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have the option, but in no event be obligated, to deliver the documents described in Sections 6(l), 6(m), 6(n), 6(o) and 6(p) if such documents are requested as part of reasonable diligence to verify the accuracy of representations and warranties pursuant to this Section 2(a), it being understood that a Designated Manager shall have no obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent if such documents were reasonably requested to verify the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein but have not, at the option of the Company, been provided.

(g) If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement directly to any of the Managers acting as principal (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the Manager or Managers of the proposed terms of such Placement. If such Manager or Managers, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which a Manager may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or wishes to accept amended terms proposed by the Company after further discussion, such Manager or Managers and the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement. The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Company or such Manager or Managers unless and until the Company and such Manager or Managers have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control as to such Placement.

(h) Each Placement shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, if applicable, a Terms Agreement, which will provide for the sale of such Shares to, and the purchase thereof by, such Manager. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Shares by a Manager. The commitment of a Manager to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Shares to be purchased by a Manager pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Shares, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, managers acting together with such Manager in the reoffering of the Shares, and the time and date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “Time of Delivery”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Shares.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company and the Managers agree that no sales of Shares shall take place, the Company shall not request the sales of any Shares that would be sold and the Managers shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell, (i) during any period in which the Company’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy, as it exists on the date of this Agreement, would prohibit the purchase or sale of Common Stock by persons subject to such policy, or (ii) during any other period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information; provided that clause (i) shall commence on January 1, 2021.

(j) Under no circumstances shall the number and aggregate amount of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement exceed (i) the aggregate amount set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement, (ii) the number of shares of the Common Stock available for issuance under the currently effective Registration Statement or (iii) the number and aggregate amount of the Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the board of directors of the Company, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Managers in writing.

3. Fee. (a) The compensation to the Managers for sales of the Shares hereunder shall be equal to 1.00% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rate of compensation shall also apply when a Manager, acting as principal, purchases Shares from the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 prior to the date on which the aggregate gross purchase price of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement is at least $500,000,000, the Company shall reimburse the Managers for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Managers incurred by them in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150,000 (collectively, the “Expenses”).

4. Payment, Delivery and Other Obligations. Settlement for sales of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the second Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Shares sold through a Designated Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to such Designated Manager against payment of the net proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all such Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to such Designated Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided that the Designated Manager shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payment in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Shares on any Settlement Date or at any Time of Delivery, the Company shall (i) hold the Designated Manager harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay the Managers any commission, discount or other compensation to which they would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(q) To comply with the Due Diligence Protocol attached hereto on Schedule V and any other due diligence review or call reasonably requested by the Manager.

(r) To reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

(s) That it consents to the Managers trading in the Common Stock for the Managers’ respective own accounts and for the accounts of their clients at the same time as sales of the Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement.

(t) That each acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase the Shares hereunder shall be deemed to be an affirmation to the Managers that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such acceptance as though made at and as of such date, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of the Time of Sale and the Settlement Date or the Time of Delivery, as the case may be, for the Shares relating to such acceptance as though made at and as of each of such dates (except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented relating to such Shares).

(u) Prior to instructing a Designated Manager pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof to make sales on any given day (or as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Managers), any one of the Authorized Persons shall have approved the information set forth on Exhibit B with respect to the Shares to be sold.

(v) Other than during a period when a suspension is in effect, not to, or publicly disclose an intention to, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Common Stock or warrants or other rights to purchase the Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Common Stock or permit the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of the Common Stock, except for (i) the registration of the Shares (including in connection with filing a shelf registration statement related thereto) and the sales through the Managers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or settlement (including any “net” or “cashless” exercises or settlements) of options, restricted stock units, warrants, performance share units, convertible notes or similar securities or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof as described in each of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, (iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to any employee stock option plan, incentive plan or stock ownership plan of the Company in effect on the date hereof and described or incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, (iv) facilitating the establishment of a trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, (v) the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to existing agreements or rights providing for an option to repurchase or a right of first refusal on behalf of the Company pursuant to the Company’s repurchase rights or agreements that were in existence on the date hereof and described or incorporated by reference in each of the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or (vi) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable for, or which are otherwise exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in connection with (x) the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of the securities, business, technology, property or other assets of another person or entity or pursuant to an employee benefit plan assumed by the Company in connection with such acquisition, and the issuance of any such securities pursuant to any such agreement, or (y) the Company’s joint ventures, commercial relationships and other strategic transactions, provided that the total aggregate amount of securities that the Company may sell or issue or agree to sell or issue pursuant to this clause (vi) shall not exceed 5.0% of the total number of shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, in each case during the Delivery Period, without (A) giving the Managers at least one business day’s prior written notice specifying the nature of the proposed sale and the date of such proposed sale and (B) the Managers suspending activity under this program for such period of time as requested by the Company,

(w) To promptly notify the Managers if the Company becomes aware of any downgrading, or if any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act.

7. Covenants of the Manager. The Managers covenant with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Managers that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Managers.

8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Managers, each person, if any, who controls any Manager within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against

(i) any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever, as incurred (including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements of one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) chosen by the Managers, which expenses and disbursements are reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted), arising out of, or based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses are caused by such statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Managers’ Information;

(ii) any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; and

(iii) any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including fees and disbursements of one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) chosen by the Managers), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Managers’ Information.

(b) Each Manager agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with reference to information relating to the Managers furnished to the Company in writing by any Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement (including any Interim Prospectus Supplement), the General Disclosure Package, any free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only such information is the Managers’ Information.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this Section 8. The indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnified party, or (iv) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Managers, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include any statements as to any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Managers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that 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 Managers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by the Managers. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other hand, 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 by the Managers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company and the Managers agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Managers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Managers shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by them were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Managers have 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Managers, any person controlling any Manager or any affiliate of any Manager or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

9. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

10. Termination. (a) The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale through a Designated Manager for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including, but not limited to, its obligations under Section 4 above, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Section 1, Section 3(b) and Section 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(b) Each Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time, with respect to such Manager only. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that (i) with respect to any pending sale through such Manager for the Company, the obligations of the Company, including, but not limited to, its obligations under Section 4 above, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Section 1, Section 3(b) and Section 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Manager notwithstanding such termination. Following any such termination by a Manager, this Agreement shall remain in effect as to each other Manager that has not exercised its right to terminate the provisions of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10(b) and any obligations and rights of the Managers under this Agreement shall be satisfied by or afforded to, as applicable, only such other Managers.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 10(a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement or pursuant to this clause (c) shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 1, Section 3(b) and Section 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Managers or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.

11. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Managers with respect to the preparation of the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the sale and distribution of the Shares.

(b) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Managers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Managers have acted and will act at arm’s length, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Managers owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and any contemporaneous written agreements, (iii) the Managers may have interests that differ from those of the Company, and (iv) the Managers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Company has consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate, and (v) none of the activities of the Managers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Managers with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Managers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale and distribution of the Shares.

12. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

(a) Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any Related Judgment, each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

(c) The Company hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company’s General Counsel as the Company’s authorized agent to receive and forward on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that service of process upon the Company’s General Counsel at his office at the Company, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and written notice of said service to the Company, mailed or delivered to the Company’s General Counsel, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Company. Said designation and appointment shall be irrevocable.

(d) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Managers could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in the City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Company in respect of any sum due from it to any Manager shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by such Manager of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Manager may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Manager hereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Manager against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Manager hereunder, such Manager agrees to pay to the Company (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Manager hereunder.

13. Taxes. If any sum payable by the Company under this Agreement is subject to tax in the hands of a Manager or taken into account as a receipt in computing the taxable income of that Manager (excluding net income taxes on compensation payable hereunder), the sum payable to the Manager under this Agreement shall be increased to such sum as will ensure that the Manager shall be left with the sum it would have had in the absence of such tax, except that no such increased amount shall be payable to any Manager in connection with any tax to which such Manager is subject as a result of the conduct of any business activity or operations or otherwise being tax resident in the Republic of Liberia.

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

15. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Manager is a Covered Entity that becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Manager 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 Manager is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Manager becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Manager 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.

For purposes of this Section a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

17. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

18. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Managers shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the Managers at their respective addresses listed in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇, Chairman of the Board, with a copy to the General Counsel of the Company at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

19. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Section 8 hereof, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

20. 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.

On each of December 15, 2020, December 18, 2020, December 22, 2020, December 28, 2020 and December 30, 2020, the Managers expect to conduct a due diligence call with the appropriate business, financial, accounting and legal representatives of the Company.

Unless agreed otherwise between the Company and Managers and as long as sales of Shares under this Agreement are not suspended, the Managers expect to conduct a bringdown due diligence call with the appropriate business, financial and legal representatives of the Company once every week until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the date on which all Shares have been sold.

3. On or immediately prior to each Representation Date, in addition to the documents provided pursuant to Sections 6(l), (m), (n), (o) and (p) of the Agreement, the Managers expect to conduct a due diligence call with the appropriate business, financial and legal representatives of the Company.

In the event that the Company requests the Managers to sell on any one Trading Day an amount of Shares that would be equal to or greater than 25% of the average daily trading volume (calculated based on the most recent three completed Trading Days) of the Company’s Common Stock, the Managers expect to conduct a due diligence call with the appropriate business, financial, accounting and legal representatives of the Company and that the Company shall provide the certificate referred to in Section 5(b) of the Agreement.

So long as sales of Shares under this Agreement are not suspended, and upon request of the Managers, the Managers may require additional due diligence procedures as the Manager may reasonably request, upon the occurrence of any downgrading event as set forth in Section 6(w) of the Agreement.

The foregoing is an expression of current intent only, and shall not in any manner limit the Manager’s rights under the Agreement, including the Managers’ right to require such additional due diligence procedures as the Managers may reasonably request during the period from and including December 16, 2020 to and including December 31, 2020 pursuant to the Agreement.
