(ii) If, at any time prior to the Closing Date, any event occurs as a result of which the General Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

misleading or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission (to the extent required), subject to the first sentence of paragraph (i) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(iv) As soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders and to the Representative an earnings statement or statements of the Company and its subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

(v) The Company will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, a copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto which shall become effective on or prior to the Closing Date and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Securities Act, as many copies of any preliminary prospectus or related preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplement thereto and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (if applicable) as the Representative may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing related to the offering.

(vi) The Company will use its reasonable efforts to qualify the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate in writing to the Company not later than the Closing Date, and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Offered Securities;provided that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities or to execute or file any consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(vii) Until the 30^th day following the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, offer, sell or contract to sell, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such offer, sale or contract to sell, the offering of, any debt securities covered by the Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed under the Securities Act or any other debt securities issued by the Company.

(viii) The Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the sale of the Offered Securities hereunder, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to a subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person that, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject or the target of Sanctions, (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business in any Sanctioned Country, (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation by any person (including any person participating in the transaction, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise) of Sanctions, or (iv) in any other manner in contradiction with the description in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(ix) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Securities.

(x) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of DTC to permit the Offered Securities to be eligible for “book-entry” transfer and settlement through the facilities of DTC, and agrees to comply with all of its agreements set forth in the representation letters of the Company to DTC relating to the approval of the Offered Securities by DTC for “book-entry” transfer.

(xi) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Offered Securities in the manner specified in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”.

securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification not to exceed $10,000); (vii) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Company in connection with approval of the Securities by DTC for “book-entry” transfer, and fees and expenses incidental to the performance by the Company of its other obligations under this Agreement; (viii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities; (ix) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company; (x) the filing fees and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) incident to securing any required review by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Offered Securities; (xi) the fees and expenses of the Independent Underwriter and (xii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder.

Section 5. Agreements of the Underwriters.

(i) Each Underwriter represents and agrees with the Company that, unless it has obtained the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, required to be filed with the Commission.

(ii) The Company consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that (1) contains only (A) information describing the preliminary terms of the Offered Securities or their offering or (B) information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities or their offering and that is included in or is subsequently included in the Prospectus, including by means of a pricing term sheet in the form of Schedule III hereto, or (2) does not contain any “Issuer information” (as such term is defined in Rule 433(h) of the Securities Act) and (y) the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such liability arises out of, or is based upon any inaccuracy in such free writing prospectus referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this paragraph resulting from an inaccuracy in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package of the written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package, as applicable, as set forth in Section 8(ii) of this Agreement.

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

(i) The Prospectus, and any related supplement, shall have been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424; each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been filed (to the extent required) in the manner and within the

time period required by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(ii) The Company shall have furnished to the Representative the opinion of S. Christian Mullgardt, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(b) the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or conducts any business, which requires such qualification, other than where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) each subsidiary of the Company (any such subsidiary being identified in such opinion) which constituted a “significant subsidiary” within the meaning of RegulationS-X as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year (each, a “Significant Subsidiary”) has been duly incorporated or otherwise organized and is validly existing as a corporation or similar entity under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization with corporate power to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or similar entity for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or conducts any business, so as to require such qualification, other than where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(d) the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the issuance of the Offered Securities and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole and known to such counsel, or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company, its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties;

(e) to the knowledge of such counsel, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its Significant

Subsidiaries, which alone or in the aggregate is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole which is not adequately disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. To the knowledge of such counsel, there are no agreements, contracts, indentures, leases or other instruments to which the Company or any of the Significant Subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their respective properties or assets is subject that would be required to be described in, or filed as exhibits to, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus that have not been so described or filed; and the statements included or incorporated in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus describing any legal proceedings or material contracts or agreements relating to the Company and its subsidiaries fairly summarize such matters in all material respects; and

(f) the Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, to the extent deemed proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing believed to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent deemed proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (ii) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

(iii) The Company shall have furnished to the Representative a letter from S. Christian Mullgardt, Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that such counsel has no reason to believe that: (a) on the date hereof the Registration Statement (except for the financial statements and other information of an accounting or financial nature included therein, as to which such counsel does not express any view) was not appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (b) the Registration Statement, on the date such Registration Statement became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (c) that the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, or the Prospectus, as of its date or at the Closing Date, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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 except for the financial statements and other information of an accounting or financial nature included therein, as to which such counsel does not express any view).

(iv) Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, Virginia counsel to the Company, shall have furnished to the Representative an opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(a) the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia with corporate power to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to execute and deliver the Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture and to authorize, create and issue the Offered Securities;

(b) the Base Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

(c) no consent, authorization, order or approval of any Virginia government agency or body, or to such counsel’s knowledge, any court thereof is required on the part of the Company for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or for the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the execution and delivery of the Base Indenture and Sixth Supplemental Indenture, except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia;

(d) the Offered Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

(e) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

(f) none of the issue, delivery and sale of the Offered Securities, the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated in this Agreement, the fulfillment by the Company of the terms of this Agreement or the execution and delivery of the Base Indenture, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture or the Offered Securities will violate or result in a breach of the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company or any order, decree or regulation, known to such counsel to be applicable to the Company, of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body of the Commonwealth of Virginia; and

(g) the statements in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of the terms of Virginia statutes, constitute accurate summaries of the terms of such statutes in all material respects.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Virginia or the United States, to the extent deemed proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing believed to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent deemed proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (iv) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

(v) Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, special counsel for the Company, shall have furnished to the Representative an opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(a) The Offered Securities conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package. The statements made in the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to describe the material tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, fairly summarize the matters therein described in all material respects.

(b) Assuming the Sixth Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the Base Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and, assuming the Offered Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, the Offered Securities will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to, consent of, order of, or filing with, any United States Federal or New York State governmental authority is required to be made or obtained by the Company for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (i) those that have been obtained or made under the Securities Act or the Trust Indenture Act, (ii) those that may be required under the Securities Act in connection with the use of a “free writing prospectus” and (iii) those that may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters.

(d) The Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act on March 6, 2017, and, assuming prior payment by the Company of thepay-as-you-go registration fee for the offering of the Offered Securities, upon filing of the Prospectus with the Commission the offering of the Offered Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus became registered under the Securities Act; to such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act.

(e) The issue and sale by the Company of the Offered Securities, the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement and the Indenture do not result in a breach of or constitute a default under the express terms and conditions of any agreement listed on Schedule IV hereto. Such opinion relating to the agreements listed on Schedule IV hereto does not extend to compliance with any financial ratio or any limitation in any contractual restriction expressed as a dollar amount (or an amount expressed in another currency).

(f) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact, to the extent deemed proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (v) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

(vi) The Company shall have furnished to the Representative a letter of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that although such counsel has made certain inquiries and investigations in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the limitations inherent in the role of outside counsel are such that such counsel cannot and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the statements made in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except insofar as such statements relate to such counsel and except as set forth in paragraph (6)(v)(a) above. Subject to the foregoing, such counsel confirms to the Underwriters, on the basis of the information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered, that the Registration Statement, at the time it was last amended or deemed to be amended, and the Prospectus, as of its date and the Closing Date, appeared or appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, except that such counsel does not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of an accounting or financial nature included therein and the Statements of Eligibility(Form T-1) included as exhibits to the Registration Statement. Furthermore, subject to the foregoing, such counsel advises the Underwriters that such counsel’s work in connection with this matter did not disclose any information that gave such counsel reason to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement

(insofar as relevant to the offering contemplated by the Prospectus), at the time the Registration Statement was last amended or deemed to be amended, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Prospectus, as of its date or at the Closing Date, included or includes, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits 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 or (iii) the General Disclosure Package, considered together as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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, except that, in each case, such counsel does not express any view as to the financial statements and other information of an accounting or financial nature included therein.

(vii) The Representative shall have received from counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus (together with any, supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Representative may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(viii) The Company shall have furnished to the Representative a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice President and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any supplement to the Prospectus and this Agreement and that:

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

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

(c) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated financial position, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth in or contemplated in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus;

it being understood and agreed that such certificate shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company, as to the matters covered thereby, to each Underwriter.

(ix) At the Closing Date, KPMG LLP, who has audited the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as then amended and supplemented, shall have furnished to the Underwriters a letter, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information relating to the Company contained in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating in effect that:

(a) in their opinion the audited financial statements and financial statement schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and reported on by them comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission; and

(b) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries) set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and in Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including the information set forth under the caption “Prospectus Summary—Summary Historical Financial and Other Data” in the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, the information included or incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019, and each of the other documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

In addition, on the date hereof, such accountants shall have furnished to the Underwriters a letter or letters, dated as of the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, to the effect set forth above.

(x) Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, there shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective change, which will result in a material adverse change in the consolidated financial position, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as whole, which, in any case referred to above, is, in the judgment of the Representative, so adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to enforce contracts of sale for the Offered Securities.

(xi) Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Offered Securities or any other debt securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined under Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with respect to, its rating of the Offered Securities or of any other debt securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of their subsidiaries (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).

(xii) On each of the date hereof and on the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representative a certificate, dated as of such respective date and addressed to the Underwriters, of its chief financial officer with respect to certain financial data contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, providing “management comfort” with respect to such information, substantially in the form attached asExhibit A hereto.

(xiii) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representative such further information, certificates and documents as the Representative may reasonably request.

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

Section 7.Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Offered Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally promptly following demand for all reasonableout-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Securities against receipt of a statement in reasonable detail of such expenses.

Section 8.Indemnification and Contribution.

(i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Offered Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged statement of a material fact contained in the General Disclosure Package, or in any amendment thereof, or supplement thereto, or in the Base Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus or related preliminary prospectus supplement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof, or supplement thereto, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including, but not limited to, any electronic roadshow related to the Offered Securities), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and in each case, agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;provided,however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for inclusion therein. The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act, or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred as a result of the Independent Underwriter’s participation as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of NASD Conduct Rule 5121 of FINRA in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, except for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulting from the Independent Underwriter’s, its directors’, officers’ or any such controlling person’s willful misconduct. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(ii) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter (but excluding the proviso clauses thereof), but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representative specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in the second and third sentences of the fourth paragraph, the ninth paragraph, the third and fourth sentences of the eleventh paragraph and the twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs in the Prospectus under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.

(iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (a) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (i) or (ii) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (b) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);provided,however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel, and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (w) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (x) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (y) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (z) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party;provided,however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction) under this provision for all indemnified parties taken together. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its consent. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and does not include any statement as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 8 in respect of such action or proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm for the indemnified parties, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Independent Underwriter in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter” and all persons, if any, who control the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

(iv) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters, severally but not jointly, agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and by the Underwriters from the offering of the Offered Securities (as among the Underwriters such amount shall be proportionate to such Underwriter’s respective underwriting commitment);provided,however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among the Underwriters relating to the offering of the Offered Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Offered Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally but not jointly shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and of the Underwriters in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses), and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined byprorata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (iv), 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 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (iv).

Section 9.Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Offered Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of

Offered Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Offered Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase;provided,however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Offered Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Offered Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Offered Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Offered Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriters or the Company other than as provided in Section 11. In the event of default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representative shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and 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 nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

Section 10.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities, if prior to such time any of the following shall have occurred: (i) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices of securities shall have been required, on said exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, calamity or crisis would, in the judgment of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, make the offering or delivery of the Offered Securities impracticable.

Section 11.Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

Section 12.Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representative, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to the Representative at c/o J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179 (fax:212-270-1063); Attention: John Fiore or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at 190 Carondelet Plaza, Suite 1530, Clayton, Missouri 63105, Attention of the Secretary.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile, email or other electronic transmission (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 16.Submission to Jurisdiction.

The Company and each Underwriter waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts. The Company and each Underwriter agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and each Underwriter and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company or any such Underwriter is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

Section 17.Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 19.No Fiduciary Duty.

Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 20.Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
