The Company hereby grants to the Underwriters the right to purchase at their election up to [•] Optional Shares, at the purchase price per share set forth in the paragraph above, for the sole purpose described under “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Pricing Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus, provided that the purchase price per Optional Share shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on the Optional Shares. Any such election to purchase Optional Shares may be exercised only by written notice from the Representatives to the Company, given within a period of 30 calendar days after the date of this Agreement, setting forth the aggregate number of Optional Shares to be purchased and the date on which such Optional Shares are to be delivered, as determined by the Representatives but in no event earlier than the First Time of Delivery (as defined in Section 4 hereof) or, unless the Representatives and the Company otherwise agree in writing, earlier than two or later than ten Business Days after the date of such notice.

3. Upon the authorization by the Representatives of the release of the Firm Shares, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Firm Shares for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectuses.

The Company will cause the certificates, if any, representing the Shares to be made available for checking and packaging at least twenty-four hours prior to the Time of Delivery (as defined below) with respect thereto at the office of DTC or its designated custodian (the “Designated Office”).

A meeting will be held at the Closing Location at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Time of Delivery, at which meeting the final drafts of the documents to be delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence will be available for review by the parties hereto. For the purposes of this Section 4, “Business Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or Toronto are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

(d) The Company represents and agrees that (i) it has not engaged in, or authorized any other person to engage in, any Testing-the-Waters Communications, other than Testing-the-Waters Communications outside of Canada with the prior consent of the Representatives with entities that the Company reasonably believes are qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Act or institutions that are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Act or within Canada with the prior consent of the Representatives in compliance with sections 13.4(2)(c) and (e) of NI 41-101; and (ii) it has not distributed, or authorized any other person to distribute, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications, other than those distributed with the prior consent of the Representatives that are listed on Schedule II(d) hereto; and the Company reconfirms that the Underwriters have been authorized to act on its behalf in engaging in Testing-the-Waters Communications; and

(e) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that any Testing-the-Waters Communications undertaken by it: (i) were with entities that such Underwriter reasonably believes are qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Act or institutions that are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Act; and (ii) with respect to Testing-the-Waters Communications undertaken in Canada, were made in compliance with sections 13.4(2)(c) and (e) of NI 41-101.

(g) (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Pricing Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus there shall not have been any change in the share capital or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting (x) the business, general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus, or (y) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectuses;

-23-

(h) On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities;

(j) The Shares to be sold at such Time of Delivery shall have been duly listed, subject to notice of issuance, on the NYSE, and shall have been duly listed and posted for trading on the TSX as of the opening of trading on the date of the Time of Delivery, subject only to the conditions set forth in the conditional approval letter of the TSX dated [•], 2021 and to any other customary conditions of the TSX;

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act, Canadian Securities Laws 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, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “roadshow” as

-24-

defined in Rule 433(h) under the Act (a “roadshow”) or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication 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) a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (as that term is defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws) contained in the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Prospectus, road show materials (as defined in Section 6(b)) or any amendment or supplement thereto (including for greater certainty the Canadian Supplemented Prospectus); and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (as that term is defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws) made in the Registration Statement, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, Canadian Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectuses, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow or road show materials (as defined in Section 6(b)) or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information. The Company shall not be liable under this Section 9(a) to any indemnified party regarding any settlement 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 is consented to by the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act, Canadian Securities Laws 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, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, 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) a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (as that term is defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws) contained in the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Prospectus, road show materials (as defined in Section 6(b)) or any amendment or supplement thereto (including for greater certainty the Canadian Supplemented Prospectus); in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (as that term is defined under applicable Canadian Securities Laws), as the case may be, was made in the Registration Statement, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, Canadian Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectuses, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow or road show materials (as defined in Section 6(b)) or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. As used in this Agreement with respect to an Underwriter and an applicable document, “Underwriter Information” shall mean the written information furnished to

-25-

the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectuses furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information contained in the [eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs] under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one firm in each jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for the settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent.

-26-

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) 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 from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), 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 shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as described in the Prospectuses. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, the misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other 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 subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement, misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer or other affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

-27-

(f) The Company hereby confirms its engagement of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC hereby confirms its agreement with the Company to render services as a qualified independent underwriter (within the meaning of FINRA rule 5121(f)(12)) with respect to the offering and sale of the Shares (Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, in such capacity, the “Independent Underwriter”). Without limitation of and in addition to their obligations under the other paragraphs of this Section 9, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees and each person who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Independent Underwriter may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, the Independent Underwriter’s acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121(f)(12)) in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified party for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Independent Underwriter.

(g) In connection with the offer and sale of the Reserved Securities, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of Merrill Lynch, BMO and their respective affiliates and selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any of them within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending, investigating or settling any such action or claim), as incurred, (i) arising out of the violation of any applicable laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Reserved Securities have been offered, (ii) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Invitees in connection with the offering of the Reserved Securities or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) caused by the failure of any Invitee to pay for and accept delivery of Reserved Securities which have been orally confirmed for purchase by any Invitee by 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of the Agreement or (iv) related to, or arising out of or in connection with, the offering of the Reserved Securities.

10. (a) Guggenheim Securities, LLC (the “Non-Canadian Underwriter”) will only offer and sell Shares outside of Canada and will not, directly or indirectly, solicit offers to purchase or sell Shares in Canada. Provided that it has not terminated and cancelled its obligations to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, the Non-Canadian Underwriter agrees that, if any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), are suffered by an indemnified party as contemplated in this Section 9 (and such Claims did not include the Non-Canadian Underwriter on the basis that the Non-Canadian Underwriter did not sign the underwriters’ certificate to the Canadian Prospectus or the Canadian Supplemented Prospectus) under Section 218 of the Securities Act (Québec) or the equivalent provisions of Canadian Securities Laws in other Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions based upon a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (as defined in Canadian Securities Laws) in the Canadian Prospectus or Canadian Supplemented Prospectus or road show materials (as defined in Section 6(b)), and such indemnified party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority in a final judgment or decision from which no appeal can be made to be liable pursuant to such laws in respect of such Claims and such indemnified party does pay such Claims (the

-28-

“Liability Amount”), then the Non-Canadian Underwriter shall indemnify on a several basis, and not a joint or joint and several basis, such indemnified party from and against the Liability Amount for the Non-Canadian Underwriter’s pro rata share of such Liability Amount, on the basis of and assuming that the Non-Canadian Underwriter had signed the underwriters’ certificate to the Canadian Prospectus or the Canadian Supplemented Prospectus or road show materials (as defined in Section 6(b)), but only to the extent of its underwriting obligation under Schedule I hereto. The Non-Canadian Underwriter shall further indemnify such indemnified party, without regard to the final outcome of any such Claims, for the Non-Canadian Underwriter’s pro rata share of any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred and paid by such indemnified party in connection with the investigation or defense of any such Claims (the “Indemnified Expenses”). For the purposes of determining the aggregate amount that the Non- Canadian Underwriter is obligated to indemnify all other indemnified parties, “pro rata” will be based on the percentage of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of the Non-Canadian Underwriter in Schedule I hereto as compared to the total number of Firm Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum aggregate amount which the Non-Canadian Underwriter is required to indemnify the other indemnified parties under this Section 9(g) shall be the lesser of (i) [•]% of the total of the Liability Amount and Indemnified Expenses and (ii) the total public offering price of the Firm Shares and Optional Shares the Non-Canadian Underwriter is required to place or purchase under Schedule I hereto. The amount payable by the Non-Canadian Underwriter to the indemnified parties pursuant to this Section 9(g) shall be reduced to the extent that the Non-Canadian Underwriter is required to pay damages directly to plaintiffs under Canadian Securities Laws in connection with the Claim or Claims that are the subject matter of the indemnification being sought. Further, the Non-Canadian Underwriter will only be required to make payment to an indemnified party pursuant to this Section 9(g) if (i) such indemnified party has used reasonable commercial efforts to be reimbursed for the Liability Amount and Indemnified Expenses pursuant to this Section 9 but has not been fully reimbursed and (ii) it has not been determined (either by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made or by acknowledgement of the indemnified party) that the Claim resulting in the Liability Amount and Indemnified Expenses was caused by or resulted from the fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made determines, or the indemnified party acknowledges, that such Claim to which such indemnified party is subject was caused by or resulted from the fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party then such indemnified party shall promptly reimburse to the Non-Canadian Underwriter any Indemnified Expenses. If any Claim is asserted against any indemnified party that is or may be subject to indemnification under this Section 9(g), the indemnified party will notify the Non-Canadian Underwriter in writing as soon as possible of the particulars of such Claim (but the omission so to notify the Non-Canadian Underwriter of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Non- Canadian Underwriter from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party and any omission so to notify the Non-Canadian Underwriter of any actual Claim shall affect the Non- Canadian Underwriter’s liability only to the extent that the Non-Canadian Underwriter is actually and materially prejudiced by that failure). The Non-Canadian Underwriter agrees that to the extent the Non-Canadian Underwriter is not a party to such Claim the other Underwriters will be entitled to conduct the defense of any such action or proceeding brought to enforce such Claim, and the Non-Canadian Underwriter’s liability hereunder shall not be reduced in any way based upon the conduct of such defense unless the indemnified parties are determined to be grossly negligent (by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made) in conducting such defense. The Underwriters shall provide the Non-Canadian Underwriter with notice of any material developments in the action or proceeding.

-29-

(b) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for the Representatives or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses which in the Representatives’ opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(d) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein or the Underwriters decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives jointly.
