6. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter and each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriter and each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or any of the aforementioned may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 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) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which such statement was made) not misleading, and agrees 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 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 any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the [list applicable sentences and paragraphs] under the heading “Underwriting” of the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by the Underwriter for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and the Underwriter confirms that such statements are correct.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 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 6, 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 the indemnifying party 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 satisfactory in the reasonable judgment of 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 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 authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. In no event shall an indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its 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 (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding 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) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is held unenforceable or is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriter agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the Underwriter may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriter from the offering of the Offered Securities from which such Losses arise. If

the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriter shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriter in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) of the Offered Securities from which such Losses arise, and benefits received by the Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriter in connection with the Offered Securities from which such Losses arise. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the Company or the Underwriter. The Company and the Underwriter 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. In no case shall the Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount received by the Underwriter in connection with the Offered Securities from which such Losses arise. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement, each manager of the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

7. Termination.

(a) This Agreement will be subject to termination by the Underwriter by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the applicable Closing Date if (i) there shall have occurred, subsequent to the date hereof, any material adverse change, or any change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business; (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other international or national calamity or crisis has occurred, in each case, involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war and, in each case, the effect of which is such as to make it in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (iii) trading in the Company’s Securities shall have been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or any national securities exchange; (iv) trading in securities generally shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been established on any of such exchanges; (v) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal,

Louisiana or New York State authorities, or a material disruption shall have occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (vi) the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to the debt securities of the Company as of the date hereof shall have been lowered or withdrawn since the date hereof or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its ratings of such debt securities; or (vii) there has come to the attention of the Underwriter any facts that would cause the Underwriter to believe that the Prospectus, at the time it was required to be delivered in connection with sales of the Offered Securities, included an 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 existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any party except as provided in Section 4(i) and Section 8 hereof, and provided further that Sections 4(i), 6, 8, and 11 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

8. Survival of Certain Provisions. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or the Company or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. The provisions of Section 4(i), 6 and 11 hereof and this Section 8 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

9. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriter, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Underwriter at [address], Attn: ___(or such other place as the Underwriter may specify in writing), or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Company at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Treasurer (or such other place as the Company may specify in writing).

10. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors, the directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

11. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
