(a)            On and after the Effective Date, the references to “Registration Statement” shall refer to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275356) filed by the Company with the Commission on November 7, 2023, that became effective upon such filing in accordance with Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act Regulations, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto, and the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act.

(b)            On and after the Effective Date, the references to: (i) “Base Prospectus” shall refer to the base prospectus dated November 6, 2023 filed as part of the Registration Statement, as amended, in the form first furnished by the Company to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of the Shares, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at the Applicable Time; (ii) “Prospectus Supplement” shall refer to the most recent prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations, in the form first furnished by the Company to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of the Shares, including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act at the Applicable Time; and (iii) “Prospectus” in the Agreement shall refer to the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.

(d)            On and after the Effective Date, Section 1(i) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(i)      (a) BDO USA, P.C., which delivered its audit report with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the related notes and schedules, if any, thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”), filed with the Commission and included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, is an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and (b) Deloitte & Touche LLP, is an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.”

(e)            On and after the Effective Date, Section 3(l) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(l)      Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, and at the time Shares are delivered to the Agents as principal on a Settlement Date, and promptly after each other Representation Date, the Company will cause BDO USA, P.C. and Deloitte & Touche LLP, or other independent accountants reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, to furnish to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers letters, dated the date of effectiveness of such amendment or the date of filing of such supplement or other document with the Commission, as the case may be, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, the Forwards Purchasers and their counsel, of the same tenor as the letters referred to in Section 6(g) of this Agreement, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented, or to the document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, to the date of such letters. As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be an Applicable Time on or following the applicable Representation Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be on or prior to the next succeeding Applicable Time.
