1. Representations and Warranties.

(i) The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters and each of the Selling Stockholders as set forth below in this Section 1(i).

(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405, on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-209390), including

a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Applicable Time, became effective upon filing and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act has been received by the Company. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act against the Company or related to the offering has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission. The Company may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Underwriters shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Applicable Time or, to the extent not completed at the Applicable Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Applicable Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Applicable Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).

(b) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Applicable Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any of the Underwriters or any of the Selling Stockholders specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of the Underwriters or the Selling Stockholders consists of the respective information described as such in Section 8 and Section 1(ii)(e), respectively, hereof.

The Company agrees to 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).

(e) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Selling Stockholders or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Securities and (ii) as of the Applicable Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

(“FINRA”), the New York Stock Exchange, the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by such Underwriter; such Selling Stockholder has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and, immediately prior to the Closing Date, to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder; and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Selling Stockholder.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Selling Stockholder of this Agreement, the sale of the Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder and the

consummation by such Selling Stockholder of the transactions contemplated herein will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of such Selling Stockholder pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Selling Stockholder is a party or by which such Selling Stockholder is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Selling Stockholder is subject; (ii) violate the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of such Selling Stockholder; or (iii) violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body in the United States having jurisdiction over such Selling Stockholder; except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Selling Stockholder to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and to perform its obligations hereunder.

(c) Such Selling Stockholder will have immediately prior to the Closing Date, good and valid title to the Securities to be sold at the Closing Date by such Selling Stockholder, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or adverse claims; and, such Selling Stockholder has a security entitlement (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”)) to the Securities maintained in a securities account on the books of The Depository Trust Company free and clear of any action that may be asserted based on an adverse claim with respect to such security entitlement, and assuming that such Underwriter acquires its interest in the Securities it has purchased without notice of any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC), upon the crediting of such Securities to the securities account of such Underwriter maintained with The Depository Trust Company and payment therefor by such Underwriter, as provided herein, such Underwriter will have acquired a security entitlement to such Securities, and no action based on any adverse claim may be asserted against such Underwriter with respect to such security entitlement.

(d) Such Selling Stockholder has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, without giving effect to activities by such Underwriter, any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities.

(e) The Disclosure Package, at the Applicable Time did not, and as of the Closing Date, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties under this Section 1(ii)(e) are limited solely to the Selling Stockholder Information (as defined below). Each Underwriter, the Company and each Selling Stockholder agree that “Selling Stockholder Information” consists solely of the information furnished by such Selling Stockholder for use in connection with the offering, which solely consists of (i) the name of such Selling Stockholder, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Selling Stockholder immediately prior to completion of the offering and sale of the Securities,

(iii) the information set forth in the applicable footnote relating to such Selling Stockholder under the beneficial ownership table and (iv) the number of Securities to be offered by such Selling Stockholder, in each case as set forth under the caption “Selling Stockholders”, in each of the Disclosure Package (including any Disclosure Package that is subsequently amended), the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(f) Other than the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, such Selling Stockholder (including its agents and representatives, other than such Underwriter in its capacity as such) has not prepared, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve or refer to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, other than (i) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Act or Rule 134 under the Act or (ii) the documents listed on Schedule III hereto, each electronic road show and any other written communications approved in writing in advance by the Company and such Underwriter.

(g) As of the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, the Registration Statement and any such post-effective amendment did not and will not (in the case of a post-effective amendment filed after the date hereof) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and as of the date of the Final Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and as of the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties under this Section 1(ii)(g) are limited solely to the Selling Stockholder Information.

2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each of the Selling Stockholders agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from each of the Selling Stockholders, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the number of Securities determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder as set forth in Schedule II hereto by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased by such Underwriter as set forth in Schedule VI hereto and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased by all of the Underwriters from all of the Selling Stockholders. Without limiting the applicability of Section 2 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Underwriter who is or is affiliated with any person or entity engaged to act as an investment adviser on behalf of a client who has a direct or indirect interest in the Securities being sold by a Selling Stockholder, the Securities being sold to such Underwriter shall not include any Securities attributable to such client (with any such Securities instead being allocated and sold to the other Underwriters) and, accordingly, the fees or other amounts received by such Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall not include any fees or any other amounts attributable to such client (and, if there is any unsold allotment in the offering, such unsold allotment in respect of Securities attributable to such client shall be allocated solely to the Underwriters not affiliated with such client).

3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 12, 2016 or at such time on such later date not more than three Business Days after the foregoing date as the Underwriters shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement among the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to each Underwriter for the account of such Underwriter against payment by such Underwriter of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Securities being sold by each of the Selling Stockholders to or upon the order of the Selling Stockholders by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the accounts specified by the Selling Stockholders. Delivery of the Securities purchased by each Underwriter shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless such Underwriter shall otherwise instruct.

Each Selling Stockholder will pay all applicable state transfer taxes, if any, involved in the transfer to each Underwriter of the Securities to be purchased by it from such Selling Stockholder and such Underwriter will pay any additional stock transfer taxes involved in further transfers.

4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus.

5. Agreements.

(i) The Company agrees with each Underwriter that:

(a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus) to the Base Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by such Underwriter with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to such Underwriter of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise such Underwriter (i) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff 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 Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the

qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its 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, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package 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 or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly such Underwriter so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(c) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then 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 at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify such Underwriter of any such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Final Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(d) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to such Underwriter an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering.

(f) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as such Underwriter may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(g) The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of such Underwriter, and such Underwriter agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the Company shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule III hereto and any electronic road show. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by such Underwriter or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(i) The Company 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 the Company or any of its subsidiaries whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities or otherwise.

(iii) assuming that (a) DTC is a “clearing corporation” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(5) of the UCC, and (b) each Underwriter acquires its interest in the Securities it has purchased without notice of any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the UCC), such Underwriter that has purchased Securities from the Selling Stockholders delivered on the date hereof to DTC, made payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement and has had such Securities credited to a securities account of such Underwriter maintained with DTC will have acquired a securities entitlement (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) to such Securities, and no action based on an adverse claim may be asserted against such Underwriter with respect to such security entitlement; and

(iv) the sale of the Securities by the Selling Stockholders to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement does not, and the performance by the Selling Stockholders of their obligations in this Agreement will not, (a) require any consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority of the United States or the State of New York or pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, in each case, that in such counsel’s experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such sale or performance, except such as have been obtained or effected under the Act and the Exchange Act (but such counsel need not express any opinion relating to any state securities or Blue Sky laws), or (b) result in a violation of the organizational documents of any Selling Stockholder, or (c) result in a violation of any United States federal or New York State law or published rule or regulation thereunder or the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or Delaware Limited

Liability Company Act that in such counsel’s experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such sale or performance (but such counsel need not express any opinion relating to the United States federal securities laws or any state securities or Blue Sky laws).

(e) [Reserved]

(f) [Reserved]

In rendering the opinions in paragraph (d) of this Section 6, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the corporate law of the State of Delaware or the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and as specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Selling Stockholders and public officials.

(g) Each Underwriter shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date and addressed to each Underwriter, with respect to the sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as each Underwriter may reasonably require, and the Company and each Selling Stockholder shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(h) The Company shall have furnished to each Underwriter a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, as well as each electronic road show used in connection with the offering of the Securities, and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company 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 the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened; and

(iii) since the date of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or

affecting the business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto after the date hereof).

(i) At the date hereof and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to each Underwriter letters, dated respectively as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to each Underwriter of the type described in PCAOB Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72/AU 634.

(j) At the date hereof and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to each Underwriter letters, dated respectively as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to each Underwriter of the type described in AICPA Professional Standards AU-C section 920.

(k) At the date hereof and at the Closing Date, each Underwriter shall have received letters of Deloitte & Touche LLP, dated respectively as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to each Underwriter of the type described in AICPA Professional Standards AU-C section 920.

(l) Subsequent to the Applicable Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraphs (i), (j) or (k) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of each Underwriter, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(m) Except as set forth in the Disclosure Package, subsequent to the Applicable Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’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.

(n) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have furnished to each Underwriter such further information, certificates and documents as each Underwriter may reasonably request.

(o) Each Underwriter shall have received satisfactory evidence that the Securities have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Xxxxxx Securities LLC, waiving the restrictions on transfer relating to Common Stock applicable to such Selling Stockholder pursuant to paragraph 2 of such Existing Lock-Up Agreement.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled 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 reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each Underwriter and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of each Underwriter hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by each Underwriter. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company and each Selling Stockholder in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Cravath, Swaine & Xxxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, on the Closing Date.

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 9 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any Underwriter, the Company (or, in the case of any such refusal, inability or failure on the part of any Selling Stockholder(s), such Selling Stockholder(s)) will reimburse the Underwriters severally on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by each of them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls each 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 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 for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing 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 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 the Underwriters Information (as defined below) or the Selling Stockholder Information. Each of the Underwriters, the Company and each of the Selling Stockholders agree that “Underwriters Information” consists solely of the information furnished by the Underwriters in connection with the offering, which solely consists of (i) the information in the last paragraph of the cover page (as continued) regarding delivery of the Securities, (ii) the name of each Underwriter and its participation in the sale of the Securities, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders severally and not jointly, in proportion to the number of Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Company, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and the Company and each person who controls each Underwriter or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each other Selling Stockholder, if any, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission to state a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with only the Selling Stockholder Information furnished by such Selling Stockholder. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Selling Stockholder may otherwise have.

(c) Each Underwriter agrees severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement,

and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each Selling Stockholder, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to the Underwriters Information relating to such Underwriter. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(d) 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), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) 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 to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel 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 (i) 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 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 any indemnified party.

(e) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any

reason, the Company, the Selling Stockholders and each 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 the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, one or more of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders 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 Company, the Selling Stockholders 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 Company and the Selling Stockholders 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 Company and by the Selling Stockholders shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by each of them, 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 the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Selling Stockholders 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 untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), each Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions received by it in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), 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 indemnified party within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of that indemnified party shall have the same rights to contribution as the indemnified party, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (e). No Selling Stockholder shall have any liability under this paragraph (e) unless such Selling Stockholder would have had liability for indemnification under paragraph (b) of this Section 8 in accordance with its terms.

(f) The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate proceeds (after underwriting commissions and discounts) received by such Selling Stockholder from the Underwriters. The Company and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be responsible.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Company and the Selling Stockholders prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (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 any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriters, impractical 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 amendment or supplement thereto).

10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers, of each Selling Stockholder and of each 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 any Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, 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.

11. 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 (a) Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., Attention: Prospectus Department, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Registration Department and (b) X.X.

12. 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, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

13. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and each Underwriter and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) each Underwriter is acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company or the

Selling Stockholders and (c) the engagement of each Underwriter by the Company and the Selling Stockholders in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as an independent contractor and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they are solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on related or other matters). The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not claim that any Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to them, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

14. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than the Stockholders Agreement (which Stockholders Agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement unless expressly stated herein).

15. 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.

16. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and the Selling Stockholders hereby irrevocably waive, 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.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
