Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the Time of Delivery and place and at the purchase price to the Underwriters set forth in Schedule II hereto, the number of Initial Shares (as defined in Schedule II hereto) set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto.
In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to the number of Option Shares (as defined in Schedule II hereto) specified in Schedule II hereto at the place and purchase price to the Underwriters set forth in Schedule II hereto and at the Option Closing Time specified by the Representatives as provided below. The option hereby granted will expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the 30th day after the date of this Pricing Agreement and may be exercised once, in whole or in part, for the purpose of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Shares upon notice by the Representatives to the Company setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the Option Closing Time for such Option Shares. Any such Option Closing Time shall be determined by the Representatives but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of such option nor in any event prior to the Time of Delivery. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Shares, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will be obligated to purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Shares then being purchased which the number of Initial Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Shares (subject in each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in their discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares), and the Company shall be obligated to issue and sell such Option Shares to the several Underwriters, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated by reference herein.
The obligations of the Underwriters under this Pricing Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein are several and not joint.
The Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the offering.
This Pricing Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
