The Company also proposes to sell at the Underwriters’ option an aggregate of up to 675,000 additional shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock (the “Option Shares,” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) as set forth below.

In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the interests of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Representations and Warranties of the Company.

The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriters as follows:

(a)

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-177049) covering the registration of the Shares and certain other securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Within the time period required by Rule 424 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”), the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each prospectus and prospectus supplement used in connection with the offering of the Shares that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary

prospectus.” Such registration statement, at any given time, together with the amendments thereto at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time, the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by the 1933 Act Regulations at such time and the Rule 430B Information, are herein called, collectively, the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein referred to as the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and after such filing the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final prospectus and prospectus supplement in the form first furnished (electronically or otherwise) to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Shares (whether to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the 1933 Act Regulations or otherwise) or, if not furnished to the Underwriters, in the form first filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b), together with the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at the time of execution of this Agreement is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

(b)

The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.

(c)

At the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto became or becomes effective, at each deemed effective date of the Registration Statement with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), the Registration Statement complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(d)

The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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.

(e)

Each preliminary prospectus (including any prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective or any amendment thereto), complied when so filed in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Shares was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(f)

As of the Initial Sale Time (as defined below), neither (x) the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below) issued at or prior to the Initial Sale Time and the preliminary prospectus, as most recently amended or supplemented immediately prior to the Initial Sale Time (collectively, the “Disclosure Package”), nor (y) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), when considered together with the Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter, through the Representative, expressly for use therein (the “Underwriters’ Information”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters’ Information consists solely of the material included in Section 11 hereof.

(i)

The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations or the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”), as applicable, and, when read together with the other information in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (a) at the time the Registration Statement became effective, (b) at the earlier of the time any preliminary prospectus was first used and the Initial Sale Time and (c) at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at each Option Closing Date), did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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.

(ii)

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, (a) result in a material adverse change, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in or to the condition,

financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business, operations, management or business prospects, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and the Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, (b) adversely affect the issuance, validity or enforceability of the Shares or (c) adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of (a), (b) or (c), a “Material Adverse Change”). Failure of UB Somers to be validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the state of New York would not result in a Material Adverse Change. All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, claim, restriction or encumbrance. All corporations, partnerships, associations, limited liability companies and other entities owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company are set forth in Schedule III hereto (the “Subsidiaries”).

(h)

The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of July 31, 2012 is as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Capitalization” (and any similar section or information contained in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus (other than for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the Registration Statement, upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants described in the Registration Statement or under the Company’s current dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”)). The capital stock (including the Preferred Stock) conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and have been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The Shares have been duly authorized and when issued and paid for as contemplated herein will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion of the Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company and, when issued and delivered upon conversion of the Shares and in accordance with the Articles Supplementary (as defined below), will be duly and validly issued and fully-paid and non-assessable. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries other than those described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and of the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, fairly and accurately presents the material terms and provisions of such plans, arrangements, options and rights. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement gives rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to the registration of any shares of Preferred Stock. The Articles Supplementary designating the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (the “Article Supplementary”) will be in full force and effect on or prior to the Closing Date and have been or will be filed with the State Department of Assessment and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”) prior to the Closing Date and will comply with all

The Company has applied, or will apply promptly following the execution and delivery by the parties of this Agreement, for approval for the listing of the Shares and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of such listing, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

(i)

The Company has not, directly or indirectly, distributed and will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and other materials, if any, permitted under the 1933 Act and Section 3(b) hereof.

(j)

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries, together with the related notes and schedules as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company and the consolidated Subsidiaries, at the indicated dates and for the indicated periods.

All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the 1933 Act Regulations) comply with Regulation G under the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations or any “variable interest entities” within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 810-10), not disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. There are no financial statements (historical or pro forma) that are required to be included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that are not included as required.

(l)

There are no contracts or documents which are material to the Company, which are not described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The contracts so described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries, constitute valid and binding agreements of the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries, and are enforceable against and by the Company or one or more of the Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

(m)

Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is aware of any (i) material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting or (ii) change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company has taken all necessary actions to ensure that it is in compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that are in effect and with which the Company is required to comply and is actively taking steps to ensure that it will be in compliance with other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act not currently in effect but which will become applicable to the Company.

(o)

No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent.

(p)

The Company and each of the Subsidiaries owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to its operations as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except where the failure to so own or lease, individually or together with all such other failures, would not result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all of the Properties (as defined below) and other assets of the Company, free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind, except such as (a) are described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (b) do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such Property or assets and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such Property or assets. All security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, claims, restrictions and encumbrances of any kind on or affecting the Properties or the other assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are disclosed therein. There is no violation by the Company or any Subsidiary of any municipal, state or federal law, rule or regulation (including, but not limited to, those pertaining to environmental matters) concerning the Properties or any part thereof which

would result in a Material Adverse Change. Each of the Properties complies in all material respects with all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, regulations and deed restrictions or other covenants and, if and to the extent there is a failure to comply, such failure would not, individually or together with all such other failures, result in a Material Adverse Change or result in a forfeiture or reversion. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any written notice from any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of any condemnation of or zoning change materially affecting the Properties or any part thereof, and the Company does not know of any such condemnation or zoning change which is threatened. The leases, agreements to purchase and mortgages to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the guaranties of third parties (a) are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, to the knowledge of the Company, of all other parties thereto, and the Company knows of no default currently existing with respect thereto which would result in a Material Adverse Change, and (b) conform to the descriptions thereof set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Each mortgage that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries holds on the properties described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus constitutes a valid mortgage lien for the benefit of the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, on such property.

(q)

Except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering the Properties and any other assets described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are not convertible into equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary and none of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other person affiliated therewith holds a participating interest therein, and such mortgages and deeds of trust are not cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized to any property not owned directly or indirectly by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(r)

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is (a) in breach of, or in default under, nor has any event occurred which with notice, lapse of time, or both would constitute a breach of or default under (“Default”), or in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any license, lease, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties is bound (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults which would not result in a Material Adverse Change, (b) in violation of its respective articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement, certificate of formation or articles of association, or limited liability company or operating agreement, as the case may be, or (c) in violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except for such violations which would not result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership or partnership agreement, certificate of formation or articles of association, or limited liability company or operating agreement, as the case may be, of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, (b) will not conflict with or constitute a Default (as defined above) or Debt

Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, and (c) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets. No consent, approval, authorization designation, declaration or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (a) such as have been obtained or made by the Company and are in full force and effect under the 1933 Act, (b) such as may be required under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (c) the filing of a final prospectus supplement relating to the Shares with the Commission, (d) such approvals as may be required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), (e) the filing of the listing application applicable to the Shares with the New York Stock Exchange, (f) the filing of a Registration Statement on Form 8-A under the 1934 Act and (G) the filing of the Article Supplementary with the SDAT.

As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(s)

Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus: (i) there has been no Material Adverse Change; (b) the Company and the Subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, have not incurred any material liability or obligation, indirect, direct or contingent, not in the ordinary course of business, nor entered into any material transaction or agreement not in the ordinary course of business; (c) there has been no material casualty loss or condemnation or other material adverse event with respect to the real properties owned by the Company and the Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Properties”); and (d) there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company or, except for dividends or distributions paid to the Company or the Subsidiaries, any of the Subsidiaries on any class of capital stock or other equity interests, or any repurchase or redemption by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of any class of capital stock or other equity interests.

(t)

The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess sufficient trademarks, trade names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, approvals, trade secrets and other similar rights (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has knowledge that it has infringed or received any written notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others, which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of any proceeding in which there were an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

(u)

Commencing with its taxable year ended October 31, 1970, and through the date hereof, the Company has been and is organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), and its actual and proposed method of operation has enabled and will enable it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. No transaction or other event has occurred or is contemplated which would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT for its current taxable year or future taxable years.

(v)

With respect to the officer’s certificate issued to Baker & McKenzie LLP in connection with the legal opinion as to Federal income tax matters provided to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, where representations in such officer’s certificate involve terms defined in the Code, the Treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service or other relevant authority, the Company’s representatives, after discussions with their current and former counsel, understand such terms and are capable of accurately making such factual representations.

(w)

To the knowledge of the Company, after inquiry of its officers and directors, there are no affiliations or associations with FINRA among the Company’s officers, directors, or 5% or greater stockholders, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Representative.

(x)

Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its affiliates has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Company’s Preferred Stock, including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions and the imposition of penalty bids and understands that any such transactions will be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

(y)

The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is insured by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed in the Company’s industry to be adequate and customary for their businesses, including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and the Subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction and acts of vandalism and, with respect to the Properties, defects in title. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of the Subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied where such denial would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

As used herein, “Hazardous Material” shall include, without limitation, any flammable materials, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials, hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, toxic substances or related materials, asbestos, mold, petroleum, oil, petroleum products and any hazardous material as defined by any federal, state or local environmental law, statute, bylaw, ordinance, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 9601-9675 (“CERCLA”), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1801-1819, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 6901-K, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1101-11050, the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. (S)(S) 2601-2671, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. (S)(S) 136-136y,

(S)(S) 300f-300j-26, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. (S)(S) 651-678, and any analogous state laws, as any of the above may be amended from time to time and in the regulations promulgated pursuant to each of the foregoing (including environmental statutes and laws not specifically defined herein) (individually, an “Environmental Law” and collectively, the “Environmental Laws”) or by any federal, state or local governmental authority having or claiming jurisdiction over the properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (a “Governmental Authority”).

(aa)

The Company reasonably believes that with respect to the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties or compliance with Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(bb)

The Company, the Subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by the Company or its ERISA Affiliates (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code of which the Company is a member. No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any “amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (a) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “employee benefit plan” or (b) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(ff)

The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the 1934 Act); the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” are reasonably designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the 1934 Act, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company required under the 1934 Act with respect to such reports.

Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

(jj)

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such Persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company, its subsidiaries and its affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith.

Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Firm Shares.

(a)

On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the several Underwriters and the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, at a price of $24.2125 per share, the Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I opposite the name of such Underwriter.

(b)

Payment for the Firm Shares to be sold hereunder is to be made in Federal (same day) funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Company against delivery of the Firm Shares to the Underwriters through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York at 10:00 a.m., New York time, pursuant to the written instructions of the Representative, on October 24, 2012 or at such other time and date not later than five business days thereafter as the Representative and the Company shall agree upon, such time and date being herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” (As used herein, “business day” means a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which banks in New York are open for business and are not permitted by law or executive order to be closed).

(c)

In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase the Option Shares at the price per share set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 2, less 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 Option Shares.

If the date of exercise of the option is three or more days before the Closing Date, the notice of exercise shall set the Closing Date as the Option Closing Date.

The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:

(a)

The Company will (A) prepare and timely file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) a Prospectus in a form approved by the Representative containing information previously omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rules 430B under the 1933 Act, and (B) not file any amendment to the Registration Statement with respect to the Preferred Stock or distribute an amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or document incorporated by reference therein of which the Representative shall not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the Representative shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in compliance with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and (C) file on a timely basis all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares by the Underwriters.

(b)

The Company will (i) not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission under Rule 433 unless the Representative approves its use in writing prior to first use (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Representative hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule II hereto, (ii) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the 1933 Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping and (iv) not take any action that would result in the Underwriters or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriters that the Underwriters otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder. The Company will satisfy the conditions in Rule 433 to avoid a requirement to file with the Commission any electronic road show.

The Company will advise the Representative promptly (A) of receipt of any comments from the Commission, (B) of any request of the Commission for amendment of the Registration Statement or for supplement to the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or for any additional information, and (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the institution of any proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the 1933 Act. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued.

(d)

The Company will cooperate with the Representative in endeavoring to qualify the Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably have designated in writing and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent.

(e)

The Company will deliver to, or upon the order of, the Underwriters, from time to time, as many copies of any preliminary prospectus as each Underwriter may reasonably request.

The Company will deliver to the Representative at or before the Closing Date, four conformed copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto including all exhibits filed therewith, and will deliver to the Underwriters such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including such number of copies of the exhibits filed therewith that may reasonably be requested), including documents incorporated by reference therein, and of all amendments thereto, as the Underwriters may reasonably request. The foregoing delivery requirements may be satisfied by the delivery of an electronic pdf copy.

The Company will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and the 1934 Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated in this Agreement and the Prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to under Rule 173(a) under the 1933 Act) is required by law to be delivered by the Underwriters or dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Representatives, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the 1934 Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus so that the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that the Prospectus will comply with the law.

(g)

If the Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Representative, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or to make the

statements therein not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the Commission (if required) and furnish to the Underwriters and any dealers an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Package or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the 1934 Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package so that the Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or conflict with the Registration Statement then on file, or so that the Disclosure Package will comply with law.

(h)

The Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event not later than 15 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, covering a period of at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 under the 1933 Act and will advise you in writing when such statement has been so made available.

(i)

Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will furnish to the Underwriters, as soon as they have been prepared by or are available to the Company, a copy of any unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for any period subsequent to the period covered by the most recent financial statements appearing in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(j)

No offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of any shares of the Preferred Stock of the Company or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Preferred Stock or derivative of Preferred Stock of the Company (or agreement for such) will be made for a period of 60 days after the date of the Prospectus, directly or indirectly, by the Company otherwise than hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 60-day restricted period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 60-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period following the last day of the 60-day restricted period, then in each case the restrictions imposed by this paragraph shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of material news or a material event relating to the Company, as the case may be, unless the Representative waives, in writing, such extension.

(k)

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Preferred Stock registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Shares on the NYSE and to file with the NYSE all documents and notices required by the NYSE of companies that seek to have securities listed on the NYSE.

with the Commission with respect to the sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds therefrom as may be required in accordance with Rule 463 under the 1933 Act.

(m)

The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such a manner as would require the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

(n)

The Company will maintain a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar for the Preferred Stock.

(o)

(p)

The Company will prepare and file the Articles Supplementary with the SDAT.

(q)

The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing a description of the final terms of the Shares and the offering thereof, in the form approved by the Representative and attached as Schedule II hereto, and will file such term sheet as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

(r)

(s)

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, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.

Indemnification.

(a)

The Company agrees:

(i)

to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors and officers of such Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter, such Underwriter’s directors and officers or any such controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement, 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 (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter, through the Representative, specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter, through the Representative, consists of the information described as such in Section 11 herein; and

(ii)

to reimburse each Underwriter, each Underwriter’s directors and officers, and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter, such Underwriter’s directors and officers or such

controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether or not such Underwriter, such Underwriter’s directors and officers or such controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that such Underwriter, such Underwriter’s directors and officers or such controlling person was not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, such Underwriter, such Underwriter’s directors and officers or controlling person will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto.

(b)

Each Underwriter will severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that each Underwriter will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters, through the Representative, specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 11 herein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c)

In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 7, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 7(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 7(a) or (b). In case any such proceeding

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 and shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party in accordance with the terms of this Section 7 from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

(d)

To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings 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 or proceedings 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 or proceedings 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. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact 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 contributions pursuant to this Section 7(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 Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7(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), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

(e)

In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 7 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served upon it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.

(f)

Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its directors or officers or any person controlling such Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter, its directors or officers or any person controlling such Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 7.

Notices.

All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, except as otherwise provided herein, will be mailed, delivered, telecopied or telegraphed and confirmed as follows: if to the

Underwriters, to BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Representative, 3 Times Square, New York, NY 10036; Attention: Equity Capital Markets Syndicate Desk, with a copy to BMO Capital Markets Corp., 3 Times Square, New York, NY 10036, Attention: General Counsel, with a copy to Hunton & Williams LLP, Riverfront Plaza, East Tower, 951 East Byrd Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23219, Attention: Daniel M.

(b)

as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement.

10.

Successors.

This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and assigns, and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no other person

will have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of any of the Shares from the Underwriters shall be deemed a successor or assign merely because of such purchase.

11.

Information Provided by the Underwriters.

The Company and the Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the only information furnished or to be furnished by any Underwriter to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus consists of the information set forth in the second sentence of the third paragraph, the second sentence of the fourth paragraph, the ninth and tenth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the preliminary prospectus included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

12.

Defaulting Underwriter.

If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Shares 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 principal amount of Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Shares set forth opposite the names of 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 which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares 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 Shares, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all of the Shares, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 12, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representative shall determine in order that the required changes in 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 non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

13.

Miscellaneous.

The reimbursement, indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of (a) any termination of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person thereof, or by or on behalf of the Company or its directors or officers, and (c) delivery of and payment for the Shares under this Agreement.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters, in providing investment banking services to the Company in connection with the offering, including in acting pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, have acted and are acting as independent contractors and not as

fiduciaries and the Company does not intend such Underwriters to act in any capacity other than as independent contractors, including as fiduciaries or in any other position of higher trust.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

Each Underwriter, on the one hand, and the Company (on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted by law, on behalf of its stockholders), on the other hand, waive any right to trial by jury in any action, claim, suit or proceeding with respect to the your engagement as underwriter or your role in connection herewith.

If the foregoing letter is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicates hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement among the Company and each Underwriter in accordance with its terms.
