Ladies and Gentlemen:

Calumet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BMOCM”) with respect to the issuance and sale from time to time by the Company of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $65,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) through or to BMOCM, as sales agent or principal, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-284267) for the registration of the Shares (the “registration statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”). The Registration Statement (as defined below) sets forth the material terms of the offering, sale and plan of distribution of the Shares and contains additional information concerning the Company and its business. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Registration Statement” means the registration statement, as amended at the time of the registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act, as such section applies to BMOCM, including (i) all documents filed as a part thereof or incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein and (ii) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C of the Rules and Regulations, to be part of the registration statement at the effective time. Except where the context requires, the term “Base Prospectus” means the prospectus dated January 14, 2025, filed as part of the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such prospectus. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Prospectus Supplement” means the most recent prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations on or before the second business day after the date hereof (or such earlier time as may be required under the Act), in the form furnished by the Company to BMOCM in connection with the offering of the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Prospectus” means the Prospectus Supplement (and any additional prospectus supplement prepared in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3(cc) and filed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations), together with the

Base Prospectus attached to or used with the Prospectus Supplement. “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Section 3(g). Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless otherwise stated, be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if any, incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus shall, unless stated otherwise, be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) on or after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

The Company confirms its agreement with BMOCM as follows:

1. Sale and Delivery of the Shares.

(a) Agency Transactions. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and BMOCM agree that the Company may issue and sell through BMOCM, as sales agent for the Company, the Shares (an “Agency Transaction”) as follows:

(i) The Company may, from time to time, propose to BMOCM the terms of an Agency Transaction by means of a telephone call or other form of written electronic communication (confirmed promptly by electronic mail in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto (an “Agency Transaction Notice”)) from any of the individuals listed as authorized representatives of the Company on Schedule 1 hereto (each, an “Authorized Company Representative”), such proposal to include: the trading day(s) for the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) (which may not be a day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) on which the Shares are to be sold (each, a “Trading Day”); the maximum number or value of Shares that the Company wishes to sell in the aggregate and on each Trading Day; and the minimum price at which the Company is willing to sell the Shares (the “Floor Price”). The Agency Transaction Notice shall be effective upon delivery to BMOCM unless and until (A) BMOCM in its sole discretion declines to accept the terms contained therein and does not confirm promptly in accordance with Section 1(a)(ii), (B) the entire amount or value of the Shares under the Agency Transaction Notice has been sold, (C) the number of Trading Days set forth in the Agency Transaction Notice has elapsed, (D) the Company suspends or terminates the Agency Transaction Notice in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 1(a)(iv), (E) the Company issues a subsequent Agency Transaction Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier Agency Transaction Notice or (F) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of this Agreement.

2

(ii) If such proposed terms for an Agency Transaction are acceptable to BMOCM, it shall promptly confirm the terms by countersigning the Agency Transaction Notice for such Agency Transaction and emailing it to an Authorized Company Representative.

(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, BMOCM shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell all of the Shares designated in, and subject to the terms of, such Agency Transaction Notice. BMOCM shall not sell any Share at a price lower than the Floor Price. The Company acknowledges and agrees with BMOCM that (x) there can be no assurance that BMOCM will be successful in selling all or any of such Shares or as to the price at which any Shares are sold, if at all, (y) BMOCM shall incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell any Shares for any reason and (z) BMOCM shall be under no obligation to purchase any Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement (except in the case of a Principal Transaction (as defined below) pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Terms Agreement (as defined below)).

(iv) The Company, acting through an Authorized Company Representative, or BMOCM may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend an offering of the Shares or terminate an Agency Transaction Notice; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(v) If the terms of any Agency Transaction as set forth in an Agency Transaction Notice contemplate that the Shares shall be sold on more than one Trading Day, then the Company and BMOCM shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem necessary in respect of such multiple Trading Days, and such additional terms and conditions shall be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained in the relevant Agency Transaction Notice.

(vi) BMOCM, as sales agent in an Agency Transaction, shall not make any sales of the Shares on behalf of the Company, pursuant to this Agreement, other than (w) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions that qualify for delivery of the Prospectus in accordance with Rule 153 of the Rules and Regulations and meet the definition of an “at the market offering” under Rule 415(a)(4) of the Rules and Regulations, (x) in block transactions, (y) such other sales of the Shares permitted by law on behalf of the Company in its capacity as agent of the Company as shall be agreed by the Company and BMOCM in writing and (z) by means of any other existing trading market for the Shares or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.

(vii) The compensation to BMOCM for sales of the Shares in an Agency Transaction with respect to which BMOCM acts as sales agent hereunder shall be in the form of commissions equal to 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing rate of compensation shall not apply in the event of a Principal Transaction pursuant to a Terms Agreement. BMOCM shall provide written confirmation to the Company (which may be provided by email to an Authorized Company Representative) following the close of trading on the Exchange on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold in an Agency Transaction under this Agreement, setting forth (i) the number of Shares sold on such Trading Day, (ii) the gross offering proceeds received from such sales, (iii) the commission payable by the Company to BMOCM with respect to such sales and (iv) the net offering proceeds (being the gross offering proceeds for such sales less the commission payable for such sales) (the “Net Offering Proceeds”).

3

(viii) Unless the Company and BMOCM shall otherwise agree, settlement for sales of the Shares in an Agency Transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the first Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, an “Agency Settlement Date”). On each Agency Settlement Date, the Shares sold through BMOCM in Agency Transactions for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to BMOCM against payment by BMOCM to the Company of the Net Offering Proceeds from the sale of such Shares. Settlement for all such Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to BMOCM’s or its designee’s account (provided that BMOCM shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the relevant Agency Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payment in same-day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Shares on any Agency Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) hold BMOCM harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay BMOCM any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(b) Principal Transactions. If the Company wishes to issue and sell the Shares other than as set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 1 (each, a “Principal Transaction”), the Company will notify BMOCM of the proposed terms of such Principal Transaction. If BMOCM, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, BMOCM and the Company will enter into an agreement in form and substance mutually satisfactory to the Company and BMOCM (each, a “Terms Agreement”) that sets forth the terms of such Principal Transaction, including, without limitation, the time, date and place of delivery of and payment for the Shares to be sold pursuant to such Principal Transaction (each of such date and each Agency Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”). The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement shall not be binding on the Company or BMOCM unless and until each of the Company and BMOCM has executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of such terms. The commitment of BMOCM to purchase the Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

4

(c) Maximum Number of Shares. Under no circumstances shall the Company propose to BMOCM, or BMOCM effect, a sale of Shares in an Agency Transaction or a Principal Transaction pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement if such sale would (i) cause the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount, (ii) cause the number of Shares sold to exceed the number of shares of Common Stock available for offer and sale under the then effective Registration Statement or (iii) cause the number of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the number of Shares authorized from time to time to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to BMOCM in writing.

(d) Regulation M. If either party hereto has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party hereto.

(e) Black-out Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no sales of Shares shall take place, the Company shall not request the sales of any Shares that would be sold and BMOCM shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Shares, at any time during the period commencing on the tenth calendar day prior to the time the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement (each, a “Black-out Period”) or during any other period in which the Company is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information or has knowledge of a material change or material fact with respect to the Company or the Shares (each, a “No Trade Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, any press release or other public announcement that contains the Company’s preliminary earnings, revenues or other results of operations made for the purpose of cleansing the Company of material non-public information or otherwise made outside of the Company’s regular Earnings Announcement cycle shall not constitute an Earnings Announcement. At any time while an Agency Transaction Notice is pending or effective (and not currently suspended), the Company shall promptly notify BMOCM of the commencement of any Black-out Period or No Trade Period and suspend or terminate any further sale of Shares under the Agency Transaction Notice until the end of the applicable Black-out Period or No Trade Period.

(f) Continuing Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. Any obligation of BMOCM to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 4 of this Agreement.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and covenants with, BMOCM as follows:

(a) Effectiveness of Registration. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto have become effective. The Company has responded to all requests, if any, of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus) and (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Rules and Regulations) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Rules and Regulations, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations eligible to use Form S-3 for the offering of the Shares. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement”, as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations, and the Shares, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on an “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Rules and Regulations objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and the Company has not otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(b) Accuracy of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. (i) At the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto became effective, (ii) as of the date hereof, (iii) at each deemed effective date with respect to BMOCM pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Act, (iv) as of each Time of Sale (as defined below), (v) at each Representation Date (as defined below), (vi) at each date the Company executes and delivers a Terms Agreement (each a “Terms Agreement Date”), (vii) at each Settlement Date and (viii) at all times during such period as the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered (whether physically, deemed to be delivered pursuant to Rule 153 or through compliance with Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations or any similar rule) in connection with sales of the Shares (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of each Time of Sale, Representation Date, Terms Agreement Date and Settlement Date and at all times during the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and, together with all of the then issued Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, did not and 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. The Base Prospectus (including any amendment thereto) complied when so filed in all material respects with the Rules and Regulations, and the Prospectus (including the Base Prospectus included therein) delivered to BMOCM for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is identical to the electronically transmitted copy thereof filed with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system or any successor system thereto, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. The foregoing representations and warranties in this Section 2(b) do not apply to any statements contained in the Registration Statement, the

6

Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to BMOCM furnished in writing to the Company by BMOCM specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), which constitutes the information set forth in Schedule 2 hereto. “Time of Sale” means, (i) with respect to an Agency Transaction, the time of BMOCM’s initial entry into contracts with investors for the sale of such Shares and (ii) with respect to a Principal Transaction, the time of sale of such Shares.

(c) Company Not Ineligible Issuer. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the earliest time that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Rules and Regulations) of the Shares and (iii) at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations).

(d) Free Writing Prospectuses. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. Each free writing prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offer and sale of the Shares or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies BMOCM, did not, does not and will not include any material information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. Except for the Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.

(e) Due Incorporation; Subsidiaries. Each of the Calumet Entities (as defined below) has been duly incorporated or formed and is validly existing in good standing as a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or limited partnership, with all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority, as the case may be, to enter into this Agreement (in the case of the Company), to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in all material respects. The Company does not have any subsidiaries other than as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto that, individually or in the aggregate, would be deemed to be a “significant subsidiary” as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Rules and Regulations (the subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3 hereto, together with the Company, the “Calumet Entities”).

(f) Foreign Qualifications. Each of the Calumet Entities is duly registered or qualified as a foreign limited partnership, limited liability company or corporation, as the case may be, for the transaction of business under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character of the business conducted by it or the nature or location of the properties owned or leased by it makes such registration or qualification necessary, except where the failure to so register or qualify would not reasonably be expected to (i) have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, prospects or results of operations of the Calumet Entities taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”), or (ii) subject the stockholders of the Company to any material liability or disability.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it submits or files under the Exchange Act is made known to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and, except as described in or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

10

adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, partners’ capital, members’ equity, or results of operations of any of the Calumet Entities or their respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Change”); in each case otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(n) Investment Company. The Company is not, and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

26

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, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rules 430A, 430B or 430C, as applicable, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of 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 Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of 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 shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to BMOCM furnished in writing to the Company by BMOCM expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. BMOCM shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its agents, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to BMOCM, but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to BMOCM furnished in writing to the Company by BMOCM expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which BMOCM may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the information set forth in Schedule 2 constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of BMOCM for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

(c) Indemnification Procedures. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 5 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 5, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the failure so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party

27

to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 5(c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company or BMOCM, the Company and BMOCM shall contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, without limitation, any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than BMOCM, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration

28

Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Company and BMOCM may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and BMOCM on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and BMOCM on the other hand 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 sum of (i) the total compensation to BMOCM pursuant to Section 1(a)(vii) (in the case of one or more Agency Transactions hereunder) and (ii) the underwriting discounts and commissions received by BMOCM as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (in the case of one or more Principal Transactions pursuant to Terms Agreements). If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and BMOCM, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or BMOCM, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include, for purpose of this subsection (d), any 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 subsection (d), BMOCM shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the sum of (i) the total compensation to BMOCM pursuant to Section 1(a)(vii) (in the case of one or more Agency Transactions hereunder) and (ii) the underwriting discounts and commissions received by BMOCM as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus (in the case of one or more Principal Transactions pursuant to Terms Agreements), and no person found 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 subsection (d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this subsection (d), will notify any such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have under this subsection (d). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

29

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to any affiliate of BMOCM and each person, if any, who controls BMOCM or any such affiliate within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of BMOCM under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which it may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of BMOCM, (ii) acceptance of any of the Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

6. Termination.

(a) The Company may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to BMOCM. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to the other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of BMOCM, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 2, 3 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section 3(n)), 5, 7(c), 7(e) and 7(h) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. In the case of any sale by the Company pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Company pursuant to such Terms Agreement and this Agreement may not be terminated by the Company without the prior written consent of BMOCM.

(b) BMOCM may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the Company.

In the case of any purchase by BMOCM pursuant to a Terms Agreement, BMOCM may, by written notice to the Company, terminate its obligations pursuant to such Terms Agreement at any time prior to or on the Settlement Date without liability on the part of BMOCM to the Company if, since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement or the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in the reasonable judgment of BMOCM, any of the following shall occur:

(i) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended or limited on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market;

(ii) trading generally shall have been suspended or limited on or by, as the case may be, any “national securities exchange” (as defined in the Exchange Act), or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any such exchange, or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any such exchange or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority;

(v) if the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained a loss material or substantial to the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of flood, fire, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage, natural disaster, disease outbreak or other calamity or malicious act, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, the effect of any of which is such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus; or

(vi) if there shall have been a Material Adverse Change.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (A) termination of this Agreement pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above or otherwise by mutual written agreement of the parties, (B) such date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, one or more Terms Agreements pursuant hereto) equals the Maximum Amount and (C) the third anniversary of this Agreement, in each case except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the Company, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of BMOCM, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 2, 3 (except that if no Shares have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, only Section 3(n)), 5, 7(c), 7(e) and 7(h) of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

31
