(v) The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures (A) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures, (B) have been evaluated for effectiveness as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which an Exchange Act filing has been made and (C) are effective to perform the functions for which they were established.

(y) Nothing has come to the attention of the Company that has caused the Company to believe that the statistical and market-related data contained in each of the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, the Registration Statements and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is not based on or derived from sources that are reliable and accurate.

(z) Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any affiliate of the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any person acting on their behalf has taken, nor will the Company take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which would be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

(dd) No labor problem or dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ee) The Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts, which in the reasonable business judgment of the Company, are prudent and customary in the business in which they are engaged; neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for; and neither the Company nor any such subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ff) The Company (A) has filed all foreign, federal, state and local tax returns that are required to be filed, or has requested extensions thereof, and all such tax returns were true, complete and correct in all material respects, (B) has paid all taxes required to be paid

by it and any other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due and payable, except for any such assessment, fine or penalty that is currently being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, and except as does not have, and would not be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (C) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or assessed or, to its knowledge, proposed against it.

No “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company, any of the Company’s subsidiaries or their respective ERISA Affiliates would have any liability.

(ll) The application of the proceeds received by the Company from the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve or any other regulation of the Federal Reserve.

(mm) The information contained in each Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus that constitutes “forward-looking” information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act were made by the Company on a reasonable basis and reflect the Company’s good faith belief or estimate of the matters described therein.

3. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, 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 each Seller, the respective numbers of Firm Primary Shares or Firm Secondary Shares, as applicable, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchase Price”).

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder agrees to sell to the several Underwriters the Additional Primary Shares or the Additional Secondary Shares, as applicable, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to the maximum number of Additional Primary Shares and Additional Secondary Shares at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such Additional Shares. The Managers may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice not later than 30 days after the date of the Prospectus.

On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase (x) from the Company a number of Additional Primary Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Primary Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Primary Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Primary Shares and (y) from the Selling Shareholder a number of Additional Secondary Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Secondary Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Secondary Shares set forth in Schedule III hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Secondary Shares. The aggregate number of Additional Primary Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date shall bear the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Primary Shares bears to the total number of Firm Shares, and the aggregate number of Additional Secondary Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date shall bear the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Secondary Shares bears to the total number of Firm Shares (in each case, subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine).

Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Firm Shares and Additional Secondary Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Shares or later than ten business days after the date of such notice. Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 5 hereof solely for the purpose of covering sales of shares in excess of the number of the Firm Shares.

4. Public Offering. The Sellers are advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Shares as soon after this Agreement has become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The Sellers are further advised by you that the Shares are to be offered to the public upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.

5. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Shares to be sold by each Seller shall be made to such Seller in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City on the closing date and time set forth in Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as may be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Payment for any Additional Shares shall be made to each Seller in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 3 or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than the tenth business day thereafter, as may be designated in writing by you.

The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Shares to the Underwriters duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

10. Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and the Selling Shareholder, and their respective affiliates, partners, directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statements, or any amendment thereto, or 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) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or in any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act), or in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (B) in any other materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the offering of the Shares, including in any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) for the offering (“Marketing Materials”), or the omission or alleged omission to state in any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or in any issuer free writing prospectus, or in any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or in any Marketing Materials, 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 will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 (x) written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Managers expressly for use therein or (y) the Selling Shareholder Information.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Selling Shareholder Information shall not include any information in the Primary Registration Statement. The liability of the Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10 shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds (after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement.

(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholder, each of the directors of the Company, each of the officers of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statements and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statements, or any amendment thereto, or 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) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any related preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Managers specifically for use therein; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Managers consists solely of the Underwriter Information.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 10 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof or otherwise has notice of any such action, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the

employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of an indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 10 or Section 11 hereof (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

(e) For purposes of this offering of the Shares only, the Company and Selling Shareholder agree that the indemnity provisions contained in this section 10 are in lieu of and supersede and replace the indemnity obligations set forth in Section 2.9 of that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 13, 2014, between the Company and Selling Shareholder.

11. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 10 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the Company, any contribution received by the Company from persons, other than the Underwriters or the Selling Shareholder, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the applicable Registration Statement and directors of the Company) as incurred to which the Company, the Selling Shareholder and/or one or more of the Underwriters may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company or the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate net proceeds (after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses) received by such Seller, on the one hand, and the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company or the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, Selling Shareholder or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters further agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 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 equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 11. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 11 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares underwritten by it and distributed 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, (ii) the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate net proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses, received by the Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement and (iii) 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. For purposes of this Section 11, each of the Underwriter’s affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the applicable Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, and each person controlling the Selling Shareholder shall have the same rights to contribution

as the Selling Shareholder, subject in each case to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 11 or otherwise. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

12. Termination. (a) The Managers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date or to terminate the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Additional Shares at any time prior to any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, if, at or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; or (ii) trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ GSM shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the NYSE or NASDAQ GSM or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) a commerical banking moratorium has been declared by any federal authority or state authorities of New York or Florida or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (iv) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (B) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (A) or (B), in the judgment of the Managers, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(b) Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 12 shall be in writing.

13. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. (a) This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

(b) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligation to purchase Firm Shares or Additional Shares hereunder, and if the Firm Shares or Additional Shares with respect to which such default relates (the “Default Shares”) do not (after giving effect to arrangements, if any, made by the Managers pursuant to subsection (b) below) exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, each non-defaulting Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company and the Selling Shareholder that number of Default Shares that bears the same proportion of the total number of Default Shares then being purchased as the number of (x) Firm Primary Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Primary Shares set forth opposite the names of the non-defaulting Underwriters and (y) Firm Secondary Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule III hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Secondary Shares, as applicable, subject, however, in each case to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Managers in their sole discretion shall make.

(c) In the event that the aggregate number of Default Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, the Managers may in their discretion arrange for themselves or for another party or parties (including any non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters who so agree) to purchase the Default Shares on the terms contained herein. In the event that within five calendar days after such a default the Managers do not arrange for the purchase of the Default Shares as provided in this Section 13, this Agreement or, in the case of a default with respect to the Additional Shares, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company and the Selling Shareholder to sell the Additional Shares shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of the Company or the Selling Shareholder with respect thereto (except in each case as provided in Sections 7(i), 10, 11 or 14) or the Underwriters, but nothing in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters of its or their liability, if any, to the other Underwriters or the relevant Sellers for damages occasioned by its or their default hereunder.

(d) In the event that any Default Shares are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, the Managers or the relevant Sellers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding five business days in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statements, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statements, General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus which, in the opinion of Underwriters’ Counsel, may thereby be made necessary or advisable. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 13 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Shares and Additional Shares.

14. Survival of Representations and Agreements. All representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholder contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any Subsidiary submitted pursuant hereto, including the agreements contained in Section 7(i), the indemnity agreements contained in Section 10 and the contribution agreements contained in Section 11, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person thereof, by or on behalf of the Company, any of its officers and directors or any controlling person thereof and on behalf of the Selling Shareholder or any person controlling the Selling Shareholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares to and by the Underwriters. The representations contained in Sections 1 and 2 and the agreements contained in Sections 7(i), 10, 11, 14 and 17 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including termination pursuant to Section 12 or 13 hereof.

15. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

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

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

19. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Selling Shareholder shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address set forth in Schedule I hereto.
