Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Issuers will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filings.

(b) During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Issuers will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and any supplements or amendments thereto, have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rules 424(b) and 433, respectively, (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Issuers will use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, and subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its reasonable best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(c) The Issuers will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of the Securities and the offering thereof, substantially in the form approved by you and attached as Schedule IV hereto, and will file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

(d) If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event occurs as a result of which, the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would 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 not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules and regulations thereunder, the Issuers promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment to the Registration Statement, a new registration statement or an amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use their reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable and (iv) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to the Representatives in such quantities as may be reasonably requested.

(e) As soon as practicable, the Issuers will make generally available to their security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act.

(f) The Issuers will furnish to the Representatives, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(g) The Issuers (i) will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably designate, (ii) will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities (provided that the Issuers will not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where they are not now qualified or to take any action that would subject them to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where they are not now subject), (iii) will arrange for the determination of the legality of the Securities for purchase by institutional investors and (iv) will pay any fee of FINRA in connection with its review of the offering.

(h) The Issuers will cooperate with the Underwriters and use their best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(i) The Issuers agree to pay the costs and expenses relating to the transactions contemplated hereunder, including without limitation the following: (i) the preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the issuance of the Securities and the fees of the Trustee; (ii) the preparation, printing or reproduction of and filing with the Commission of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto; (iii) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges and charges for counting and packaging) of such copies of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (and all amendments or supplements thereto) as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iv) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp, transfer or similar taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities and initial resales thereof by the Underwriters; (v) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (vi) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the blue sky laws of the several states or any non-U.S. jurisdiction (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification); (vii) any filings required to be made with FINRA relating to the Securities (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters (not to exceed $25,000) relating to such registration and qualification); (viii) transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Issuers’ representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities, including in roadshows; (ix) the fees and expenses of the Issuers’ accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Issuers; (x) fees and expenses incurred in connection with listing the Securities on the NYSE; (xi) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Securities with the ratings agencies; and (xii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers will pay the fees required by the Commission relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

(j) During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Issuers will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, prepare, use, authorize, approve or refer to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus where, as a result of such preparation, use, authorization, approval or reference, the Issuers would be required to file the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus with the Commission or retain the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus under Rule 433 and the Issuers will not file any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus with the Commission (other than the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses identified in Schedule III hereto, each electronic road show and any other road show that is a written communication, and any other Free Writing Prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package). Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Issuers is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Issuers agree that (i) they will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) they will comply 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.

(k) The Issuers will not, and will not permit any of their affiliates to, resell any Securities that have been acquired by them, except for Securities resold in a new transaction registered under the Act.

(l) Neither Issuer will, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which 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 either Issuer or any affiliate of either Issuer or any person in privity with either Issuer or any affiliate of either Issuer), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, 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, any debt securities issued or guaranteed by such Issuer (other than the Securities) or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, until the Closing Date.

(m) The Issuers will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute 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 either Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(n) Other than the appointment of BofA Securities Europe SA as stabilizing manager in connection with the offering of the €500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 3.125% senior notes due 2033, the Issuers will not take any action or omit to take any action (such as issuing any press release related to any Securities without an appropriate legend) which may result in the loss by the Underwriters of the ability to rely on any stabilization safe harbor under MAR or provided by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority under the FSMA.

(o) The Issuers will retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433.

(p) The Issuers will use the net proceeds from the offering as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

5. Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Issuers that it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any Free Writing Prospectus (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Issuers and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus or any press release issued by the Issuers) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule III, each electronic road show and any other road show that is a written communication, or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared pursuant to Section 4(j) above or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Issuers in advance in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use a term sheet substantially in the form of Schedule IV hereto without the consent of the Issuers.

6. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Issuers contained herein as of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Issuers made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Issuers of their obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(a) The Registration Statement shall have become effective; the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); the final term sheet contemplated by Section 4(c) hereto, and any other material required to be filed by the Issuers pursuant to Rule 433(d), shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433; if filing of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is required by Rule 433, each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or notice objecting to its use shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

(b) The Representatives shall have received an opinion of (i) Xxxxxx Xxx LLP, Irish counsel to the Company and (ii) Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx SCS, Luxembourg counsel to the Co-Issuer, in each case dated the Closing Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.

(c) The Representatives shall have received an opinion and 10b-5 statement of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Issuers, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives.

(d) The Representatives shall have received from Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, an opinion and 10b-5 statement, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Issuers shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(e) The Issuers shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Issuers, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company and an authorized representative of the Co-Issuer, respectively, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and any amendments or supplements thereto, as well as each electronic road show and any other road show that is a written communication, used in connection with the offering of the Securities, and this Agreement and that:

(i) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to the use of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the Issuers’ knowledge, threatened;

(ii) the representations and warranties of each Issuer in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and each Issuer has complied hereunder with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; and

(iii) solely with respect to the certificate of the Issuer, since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto after the Execution Time other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof), there has not been a change, or development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business, properties, management, financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries that would have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Prospectus and the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto after the Execution Time other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof).

(f) At the Execution Time and on the Closing Date, the Issuers shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to the Representatives letters, dated respectively as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that it is an independent accountant within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable published rules and regulations thereunder and containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

References to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (f) include any amendments or supplements thereto at the date of the letter.

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof after the Execution Time other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof), the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto after the Execution Time other than those to which the

Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto after the Execution Time other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof), there shall not have been (i) any change specified in the Closing Date comfort letter referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6 from the letter or letters dated the date hereof referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business, properties, management, financial position or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (in each case, exclusive of any supplement or amendment thereto other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof) the effect of which in any case referred to in paragraph (g)(i) or (ii) of this Section 6, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto after the Execution Time other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof).

(h) Subsequent to the earlier of the Initial Sale Time and the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of either Issuer’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(i) The Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(j) Prior to the Closing Date, the Issuers shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them or their counsel to pass upon the issuance of the Securities as herein contemplated, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein contained.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Issuers in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Issuers to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Issuers will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon demand for all accountable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) actually incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Each of the Issuers, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or 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, state or foreign statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) relate to, 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 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 not misleading, or (ii) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged

untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Issuers 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 Issuers by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in this Section 8. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers, each of their respective directors and officers, and each person who controls either of the Issuers within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from each Issuer to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or Final Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Underwriter may otherwise have. The Issuers acknowledge that the percentage in the third paragraph under the heading “Underwriting” relating to concessions and the statements set forth in the ninth and tenth paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting” relating to stabilization activities in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and the Representatives confirm that such statements are correct.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, 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 is prejudiced as a result of such failure through the loss of substantial 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 (including local 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, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, 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 (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (and local counsel, if required) 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 that 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. 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 includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Issuers and the Underwriters 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 Issuers and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses), 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 Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Issuers on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such alleged untrue statement or omission. The Issuers 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 anything to the contrary above (other than with respect to uncovered losses), in no event shall any Underwriter be responsible under this paragraph for any amounts in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder (exclusive of amounts paid for reimbursement of expenses under this Agreement, including this Section 8, and amounts paid under this Section 8) exceeds the amount of any damages, that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. 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 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls either Issuer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer and each director of either Issuer shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). For the avoidance of doubt, the contribution obligations of the Underwriters under this paragraph (d) are several and not joint.

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Issuers. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Issuers and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Issuers prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or

limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, or (iii) there shall have occurred (1) any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services, (2) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, act of terrorism, attack on the United States, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis or (3) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls, and, with respect to either (1), (2) or (3) above, the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto after the Execution Time other than those to which the Underwriters have not objected or have consented, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4 hereof).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, acknowledgments, indemnities and other statements of the Issuers or their officers and of the Underwriters 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 any Underwriter or the Issuers or any of the officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Representatives at BofA Securities, Inc., 000 Xxxx 00^xx Xxxxxx, XX0-000-00-00, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: High Grade Debt Capital Markets Transaction Management/Legal, Fax: 000-000-0000; U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., 000 X.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

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

15. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Issuers with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, either Issuer or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising either Issuer or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Each Issuer shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Issuers with respect thereto (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising either Issuer on related or other matters). Any review by the Underwriters of the Issuers, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Issuers.

16. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Issuers and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. Jurisdiction. Each Issuer agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against such Issuer brought by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. Each Issuer hereby appoints CT Corporation System, 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein that may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each Issuer hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and each Issuer agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon each Issuer.

18. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith, is waived.

19. TRIAL BY JURY. EACH ISSUER (ON ITS BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES) AND EACH OF THE UNDERWRITERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

20. Currency. Each reference in this Agreement to U.S. dollars (the “relevant currency”), including by use of the symbol “$”, is of the essence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Issuers in respect of any amount due under this Agreement will, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the relevant currency that the party entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance with its normal procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the Business Day immediately following the day on which such party receives such payment. If the amount in the relevant currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Issuers will pay such additional amounts, in the relevant currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of the Issuers not discharged by such payment will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, will continue in full force and effect.

21. Taxes. All payments to the Underwriters due under this Agreement are to be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any applicable taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by applicable law. In such case, the Issuers will pay such additional amounts as will result in each Underwriter receiving and retaining (after any deduction or withholding) an amount equal to the payment that would have been due if no such deduction or withholding had been required or made; provided that each Underwriter shall, upon reasonable request, provide to the Issuers all such forms and other documentation that it is legally eligible to provide as would allow for payments under this Agreement to be paid without (or at a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding on account of taxes (and each Underwriter shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Issuers to reduce any such deduction and withholding). For this purpose, “taxes” means all forms of taxation, duties (including stamp duty), levies, imposts, charges and withholdings (including any related or incidental penalty, fine, interest or surcharge), whenever created or imposed, and whether required by the law or regulations of Ireland, the United States or elsewhere (for the avoidance of doubt, “taxes” shall not include any taxes imposed on or determined by reference to the net income of an Underwriter or any of its affiliates (or any taxes imposed in lieu of such taxes)).

22. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that either Issuer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, each Issuer hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any signature to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signature and Records Act 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this Agreement.

It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about December 10, 2024, which will be the third business day following the trade date set forth above (such settlement being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes prior to the business day before the notes are delivered will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes more than one business day before the date of delivery should consult their own advisors.
