The Company will promptly transmit copies of the Final Prospectus to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 and will furnish to the Underwriters as many copies of the Final Prospectus as you shall reasonably request. If requested by the Underwriters, the Company will prepare a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) reflecting the final terms of the offering and shall file with the Commission such Final Term Sheet as an “issuer free writing prospectus” pursuant to Rule 433 on the date of first use, or if not possible to file on the date of first use, as soon as practicable thereafter; provided that the Company shall furnish the Underwriters with copies of such Final Term Sheet a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not use or file any such document to which the Underwriters or counsel to the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

(b)During the period when a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act (“Rule 173(a)”) relating to the Shares) is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company will promptly advise you of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any supplement to the Final Prospectus or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus, (iii) any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information relating thereto or to any document incorporated by reference therein, (iv) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or suspension and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(c)If, at any time when a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, any event occurs as a result of which the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in 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 or the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 3, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment or supplement which will effect

such compliance and the Company will use its reasonable efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable (if it is not an automatic shelf registration statement with respect to the Shares). Neither the Representatives’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof.

(d)At any time when a prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company will give you notice of its intention to file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or otherwise, will furnish you with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed within a reasonable time in advance of filing, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which you shall reasonably object.

(e)The Company has furnished or will furnish, if requested, to the Representatives and their counsel, without charge, conformed copies of the Original Registration Statement and of all amendments thereto, whether filed before or after such Registration Statement originally became effective (including exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated therein by reference) and the copies of the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. So long as delivery of a Final Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, a notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) by the Underwriters may be required by the Securities Act, the Company will furnish as many copies of any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request and the Final Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to each Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T or required under Rule 424(e).

(f)The Company shall use its reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required in connection with the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any such jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(g)The Company shall use the proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares in the manner to be indicated in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”

(h)An application for the listing of the Shares shall have been submitted to the Exchange.

(i)The Company, during the period when a Final Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a)) relating to the Shares is required to be delivered, will file promptly all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations.

(j)The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representatives, including as contemplated by Section 3(a), and each Representative represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405. Any such free writing prospectus, including any investor presentation on any “road show”, consented to by the Company and the Representatives is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 as applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

(k)If by the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Original Registration Statement, any of the Shares remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will use its best efforts to file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives. If at the Renewal Deadline the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will, if it has not already done so, use its best efforts to file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Representatives and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Shares. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.

(l)The Company will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement or statements of the Company which will satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

(m)For a period of 30 days after the date hereof (the “Restricted Period”), the Company will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or submit to, or file with, the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than any registration statement on Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto, or relating solely to any of the employee benefit plans of the Company, as described in the Statutory Prospectus), or publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or any such other securities or publicly disclose the intention to undertake

any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Representatives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such limitations shall not apply to: (i) the Shares to be sold hereunder; (ii) any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued (or withheld) upon the exercise or conversion of any options, warrants or other securities or restricted stock units outstanding on the date hereof or other equity-based awards under existing equity compensation plans and incentive retention plans, each as described in the Statutory Prospectus; (iii) any options, restricted stock units or other equity-based awards granted under existing equity compensation plans and incentive retention plans; (iv) any warrants of the Company issued to the United States government, the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any similar agency under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or any other similar government aid program (and any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued upon the exercise thereof); (v) the settlement of shares issued prior to the date hereof pursuant to the ATM Offering (as defined in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus); and (vi) any of the actions described in the above paragraph with respect to the issuance of up to 10% of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such shares) in connection with any acquisitions, strategic partnerships or other commercial relationships, provided that the recipient of any such issuances described in this clause shall sign a lock-up agreement in the form attached hereto at Exhibit A.

4.Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Initial Shares and any applicable Option Shares on the Initial Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the accuracy of and compliance with the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein as of the date hereof and as of each applicable Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company’s officers made in any certificates furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

If any condition specified in this Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, other than by reason of any default by any Underwriter, such failure to fulfill a condition may be waived by the Underwriters, or this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the applicable Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof, which provisions shall remain in effect notwithstanding such termination.

5.Payment of Expenses. The Company shall, upon demand, pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) expenses relating to the preparation, printing, filing and distribution of the Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Registration Statement and each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, (ii) expenses relating to the preparation, printing and distribution of this Agreement, any Underwriter’s Questionnaire or related matters, (iii) expenses relating to the issuance and delivery of the Shares to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel and accountants, (v) expenses of qualifying the Shares under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws in accordance with Section 3(f) hereof, including filing fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the “blue sky” survey and any legal investment survey, (vi) all costs and expenses related to review by FINRA of the offering (including filing fees and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to review), (vii) any costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Shares and (viii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or other national securities exchange.

6.Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates and their respective directors and officers, and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of 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) (1) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment to the Registration Statement), or arise out of or are based upon 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 (2) arise out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the General Disclosure Package or in the Final Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were

made, not misleading, and, in each case, agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party 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 (i) the Company shall 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 (a) made therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment thereto) or the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (b) made in those parts of the Registration Statement constituting a Statement of Eligibility under the TIA of a trustee on Form T-1, and (ii) the Company shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened litigation or any pending or threatened governmental agency investigation or proceeding if such settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect thereto is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except to the extent that such consent is not required pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

(b)Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, but only with respect to untrue statements or alleged untrue statements or omissions or alleged omissions made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information provided by any Underwriter consists of the information in the letter from the Representatives, dated as of the date of this Agreement, the form of which is attached here to as Exhibit B; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall not be liable for any loss, liability or expense of any settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened litigation or any pending or threatened governmental agency investigation or proceeding if such settlement or compromise of or consent to entry of judgment with respect thereto is effected without the prior written consent of the Underwriters (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except to the extent that such consent is not required pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or (b) hereof 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 Section 6(a) or (b) hereof, notify the

indemnifying party or parties in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party or parties will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under Section 6(a) or (b) hereof. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that such indemnifying party or parties may elect, by written notice delivered to such indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for such indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel, the indemnified party shall have the right, to employ separate counsel in any such action, in which event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party or parties to such indemnified party of the election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party or parties will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel representing the indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) or (b), as applicable) of this Section 6 who are parties to such action in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction, (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). It is understood that all such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party for which the indemnifying party is liable shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement or compromise of, or consent to entry of judgment with respect to, includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)    If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel payable pursuant to this Section 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment of the nature contemplated by clause (ii) of the proviso in Section 6(a) hereof and the proviso in Section 6(b) hereof effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid notice of request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and

(iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or consent to entry of judgment.

(e)If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (net of underwriting discounts and commissions paid to the Underwriters but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in each case as set forth on the cover of the Final Prospectus, bears to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such 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 by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares purchased by it hereunder and distributed to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 6, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to

contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the number of Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint.

7.Default. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail at the applicable Closing Date to purchase and pay for any of the Shares agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement 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, and not jointly, to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the aggregate number of Shares specified to be purchased by each of them in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased by all the remaining Underwriters) the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate number of Shares that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right within 36 hours thereafter, to make arrangements to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Shares, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Shares, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 7 that does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the applicable Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives or the Company shall determine in order that the required changes in the General Disclosure Package and the Final 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 to any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

8.Representations, Warranties, Covenants, Indemnities and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in Shares of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Underwriter, its affiliates, their respective directors and officers or any controlling person of either and shall survive delivery of any Shares to the Underwriters.

9.Termination. This Agreement may be terminated immediately upon notice from you to the Company at any time at or prior to the applicable Closing Date (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or in the international financial markets or any other calamity or crisis the effect of any of which on the financial markets is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, or (iii) if trading in the securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission, the Exchange, or if trading generally on the

Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by said exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect.

10.Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt, and, (i) if sent to the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, will be mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to you in care of BofA Securities, Inc., One Bryant Park, New York, NY 10036, Facsimile: (646) 855 3073, Attention: Syndicate Department, with a copy to: Facsimile: (212) 230-8730, Attention: ECM Legal and (ii) if sent to the Company, will be mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication to the Company at 1 Skyview Drive, Fort Worth, Texas 76155, facsimile no. (682) 275-9164, attention of the Treasurer.

11.Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 6 hereof and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties and their respective successors and said controlling persons, affiliates and officers and directors and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

12.No Fiduciary Duty. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Shares contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of such offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Additionally, no Underwriter is advising the Company or any of its subsidiaries as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction with respect to the offering of the Shares or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is advising American or the Company on other matters). Each Underwriter advises that it and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of securities and financial services and that it and its affiliates may enter into contractual relationships with purchasers or potential purchasers of the securities of the Company or its affiliates and that some of these services or relationships may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and need not be disclosed to the Company, unless otherwise required by law. The Company has consulted with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Underwriter shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with respect thereto. Any review by any Underwriter of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of such Underwriter and shall not be on

behalf of the Company. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against each Underwriter for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that no Underwriter shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim.

13.GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

14.Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or the Underwriters’ engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that a final action in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other lawful manner.

(b)     Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, by stay of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any legal action or proceeding brought hereunder in any of the above-named courts, that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that venue for the action or proceeding is improper.

(c)     Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

15.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.

16.Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolutions Regimes.

(a)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime (as defined below), the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)    In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate (as defined below) of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights (as defined below) under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such

Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this section, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

A party’s electronic signature (complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the party’s hand.

19.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement among the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the subject matter hereof.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Letter Agreement.
