The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement, including a prospectus, (File No. 333-236276) on Form S-3, relating to certain securities of the Company (the “Shelf Securities”), including the Securities, to be sold from time to time by the Company. The registration statement as amended to the date of this Agreement, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations of the Commission

promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”), is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement,” and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities dated February 5, 2020 in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Basic Prospectus.” The Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities (or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus,” and the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary form of the Prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus supplement and the Basic Prospectus attached thereto) filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

The term “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” as used herein means the documents identified as such in Schedule II hereto and any other “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that the Representative and the Company shall hereafter agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” as used herein means the Preliminary Prospectus dated May 7, 2020 together with the term sheet set forth in Annex II-A hereto and any other Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, other than the Media Free Writing Prospectus. The term “Media Free Writing Prospectus” as used herein means the document identified as such in Schedule II hereto and any retransmission thereof, whether or not approved by the Company. “Initial Sale Time” shall mean 6:20 P.M.

The terms “supplement,” “amendment” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at a purchase price of 99.496% of the principal amount thereof in the case of the 2023 Securities, 99.399% of the principal amount thereof in the case of the 2025 Securities and 99.225% of the principal amount thereof in the case of the 2027 Securities (in respect of each series of Securities, the “Purchase Price”) plus accrued interest, if any, from May 12, 2020, if settlement occurs after that date, to the Closing Date (as defined below).

III.

The Company is advised by the Representative that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Securities as soon as practicable after this Agreement is entered into as in the Representative’s judgment is advisable upon the basis of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Disclosure Package and to be set forth in the Prospectus.

IV.

The Company will deliver the Securities, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor plus accrued interest, if any, from May 12, 2020, if settlement occurs after that date, to the Closing Date (as defined below) in the form of one or more permanent global securities (the “Global Securities”) deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC. Interests in any permanent Global Securities will be held only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Payment for the Securities shall be made by the several Underwriters through the Representative by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Company at 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on May 12, 2020, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representative and the Company or as provided in Article XV (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”), against delivery to the Trustee as custodian for DTC of the Global Securities representing all of the Securities.

Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, each person, if any, who “controls” (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, and the Company’s and such person’s officers and directors from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) to which any of them may become subject (including all reasonable costs of investigating, disputing or defending any such claim or action), insofar as such losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (or any part thereof) or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, any Additional Written Offering Communication or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case as to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (or any part thereof) or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, any Additional Written Offering Communication or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (x) was made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (or any part thereof) or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, any Additional Written Offering Communication or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (y) is

contained in any free writing prospectus that is not a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter (except to the extent such information has been accurately extracted from the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any Additional Written Offering Communication). It is understood and agreed that for purposes of this Agreement, the only information expressly furnished to the Company by the Underwriters for use in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package (or any part thereof), the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing) consists of (i) the names of the Underwriters set forth on the front and back cover of the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus; (ii) the names of the Underwriters and respective principal amount of 2023 Securities, 2025 Securities and 2027 Securities set forth in the table of Underwriters immediately below the first paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus; (iii) the paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus that begins “The underwriting agreement provides” and ends “or the offering may be terminated”; (iv) the paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters, which begins “The underwriters initially propose to offer the Notes” and ends “the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part”; (v) the two paragraphs of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus concerning stabilization, over allotments and penalty bids by the Underwriters, which begin “In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase” and end “may discontinue them at any time”; (vi) the sentence of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus that begins “The underwriters are full service financial institutions” and ends “hedging, financing and brokerage activities” and (vii) the paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus that begins “In the ordinary course of their various business activities” and ends “short positions in such securities and instruments.”

If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnified party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that in the event the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of any such proceeding, the indemnified party shall then be entitled to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to itself and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel relating to the proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party pursuant to the preceding sentence or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same

counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

If the indemnification provided for in this Article X is unavailable as a matter of law to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party in respect of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) if the indemnifying party is the Company, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities, (ii) if an Underwriter is the indemnifying party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the Underwriter’s relative fault on the one hand and that of the Company on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or (iii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as the case may be, is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) above or the relative fault referred to in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, but also such relative fault (in cases covered by clause (i)) or such relative benefit (in cases covered by clause (ii)) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefit received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, and where applicable, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omissions.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Article X were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amounts paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,

damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X concerning contribution, no indemnifying party shall be required to make contribution in respect of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in any circumstances in which such party would not have been required to provide indemnification. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by an indemnified party of such party’s rights, if any, to receive contribution pursuant to Section 11(f) of the Securities Act or other applicable law. No person guilty of “fraudulent misrepresentation” (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Article X are several, in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters, and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Article X are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article X and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Underwriters in this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement; (ii) any investigation made by an indemnified party or on such party’s behalf or any person controlling an indemnified party or by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, its directors or officers or any person controlling the indemnifying party; and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

XI.

The Representative on behalf of the Underwriters may terminate this Agreement (upon consultation with the Company) at any time prior to the time on the Closing Date at which payment would otherwise be due under this Agreement to the Company if (i) in the opinion of the Representative, a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred or there shall have been a change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions which in their view will have a material adverse effect on the success of the offering and distribution of the Securities or (ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended generally or materially limited. In the event of any such termination and after consultation with the Company, the parties to this Agreement shall be released and discharged from their respective obligations under this Agreement without liability on the part of any Underwriter or on the part of the Company and each party will pay its own expenses.

XII.

The Company and each Underwriter acknowledge and agree that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company that, except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company, neither the Underwriter nor any affiliate thereof, to the best of their respective knowledge, has any current arrangement with any third party which would permit such Underwriter or any such affiliate to benefit financially, directly or indirectly, from the Underwriter’s participation in the determination of the terms of the offering, including the pricing of the Securities. Additionally, each Underwriter is not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company 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 Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, 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 Company.

XIII.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company, and inure solely to the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and any other person expressly entitled to indemnification hereunder and the respective personal representatives, successors and assigns of each, and no other person shall acquire or have any rights under or by virtue of this Agreement.

XIV.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all statements, requests, notices and advices hereunder shall be in writing and if to an Underwriter shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered in person or sent by facsimile transmission (confirmed in writing), or registered mail to each Representative at its address or facsimile number below and if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered by registered mail to the Company at 000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, marked for the attention of the Secretary, with a copy to King & Spalding LLP, at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Esq. (facsimile: 404-572-5100).Notices shall be provided to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Debt Capital Markets Syndicate, facsimile number 000-000-0000 with a copy to General Counsel, facsimile number 000-000-0000, with copies to Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, Esq. (facsimile: 212-701-5565). All notices hereunder shall be effective on receipt.

XV.

If on the Closing Date 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 on such date 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 and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names on Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all of the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, after giving effect to any alternative arrangements for the purchase of such Securities that are satisfactory to the Representative and the Company and which are made within thirty-six (36) hours after the Closing Date, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of such Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the provisions of Article X shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Article XV, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five (5) business days, as the Representative and the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the 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 Company and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default hereunder.

XVI.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with the Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph or pursuant to Article XI, the Representative shall reimburse the Company for all of the Company’s reasonable outside counsel fees, disbursements and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Securities (for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply to any outside counsel fees, disbursements or expenses incurred in connection with any other concurrent or proposed offering by the Company).

XVII.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding against it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered against it in connection with this Agreement may be brought in any Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, such party hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the jurisdiction of each of the aforesaid courts in personam, generally and unconditionally with respect to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, assets and revenues. Each party hereby also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Company and each of the Underwriters 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.

XVIII.

Any action by the Underwriters hereunder may be taken by the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters (and their respective affiliates), and any such action taken by the Representative shall be binding upon the Underwriters (and their respective affiliates).

XIX.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. The exchanges of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages hereto by electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the exchange of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

XX.

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 clients, which may include the name and address of their clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their clients.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
