of the Underwriters as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date and each Additional Closing Date (each as defined in Section 2 below) that:

Form S-1 (No. 333-86016), and amendments thereto, and related preliminary prospectuses for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), of the Shares which registration statement, as so amended, has been declared effective by the Commission and copies of which have
heretofore been delivered to the Underwriters. The registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the exhibits and information (if any) deemed to be part of the
registration statement at the time of effectiveness

---

pursuant to Rule 430A or 434(d) under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement." If the Company has filed
or is required pursuant to the terms hereof to file a registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act registering additional shares of Common Stock (a
"Rule 462(b) Registration Statement"), then, unless otherwise specified, any reference herein to the term "Registration
Statement" shall be deemed to include such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Other than a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, which became effective upon
filing, no other document with respect to the Registration Statement has heretofore been filed with the Commission. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of either the Registration Statement or
the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission. The Company, if required by the rules and
regulations of the Commission (together, the "Rules and Regulations") or by the Securities Act, proposes to file the Prospectus with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act ("Rule 424(b)"). The prospectus, in the form in which it is to be filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, or, if the prospectus is not to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), the prospectus in the form included
as part of the Registration Statement at the time the
Registration Statement became effective, is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus," except that if any revised prospectus or prospectus supplement
shall be provided to the Underwriters by the Company for use in connection with the Offering which differs from the Prospectus (whether or not such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement is
required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)), the term "Prospectus" shall refer to such revised prospectus or prospectus
supplement, as the case may be, from and after the time it is first provided to the Underwriters for such use. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus subject to completion included in the
Registration Statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act is hereafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus."
All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, a Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of
the foregoing shall be deemed to include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System
("EDGAR").

(b)
At the time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, when the Prospectus is
first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 434 under the Securities Act ("Rule 434"), when any supplement to
or amendment of the Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the Closing Date and the Additional Closing Date, if any (as hereinafter respectively defined), the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto complied or will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Rules and
Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein (i) in the case of the Registration Statement, not misleading and (ii) in the case of the Prospectus or any related Preliminary Prospectus in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. When any related Preliminary Prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the Registration Statement for the
registration of the Shares or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act) and when any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was first filed with the
Commission, such Preliminary Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Rules and
Regulations and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No representation and warranty is made in this subsection (b), however, with respect to any information contained in or
omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any related Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on

the Company.

(f)
The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with, require consent
under or result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the

this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights that entitle or
will entitle any person to acquire any Relevant Security from the Company or any Subsidiary upon issuance or sale of Shares in the Offering. The Common Stock, the Firm Shares and the Additional Shares
conform to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Except as disclosed in or specifically contemplated by the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any

(h)
The Subsidiaries are the only subsidiaries of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act. Except for the Subsidiaries, the Company owns no ownership
or other beneficial interest, directly or indirectly, in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity. All of the issued shares of capital stock of or other ownership interest
in each of the Subsidiaries have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, equities or claims.

jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company in
each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for those
failures to be so qualified or in good standing which will not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority, and all
necessary consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, qualifications, licenses and permits (collectively, the "Consents") of and from
all public, regulatory or governmental agencies and bodies and third parties, foreign and domestic, to own,

restriction not adequately disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(j)

which any property or operations of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is the subject which, singularly or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and, to the best of the Company's knowledge, no such proceeding or litigation is threatened or contemplated by any judicial, governmental or
regulatory authority or other third party, foreign or domestic; and the defense of all such proceedings and litigation against or involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries will not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

(k)
Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates have taken, nor will any of them take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which constitutes or which
might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the shares of Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

statements which are required to be included
in the Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with Regulation S-X which have not been included as so required.

(n)

assumptions, and the pro forma and as adjusted columns therein reflect the proper application of those adjustments to the corresponding historical financial statement amounts.

provision for the payment of all taxes, assessments, governmental or other similar charges, including without limitation, all sales and use taxes and all taxes which the Company and each of the
Subsidiaries is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, with respect to the periods covered by such tax returns (whether or not such amounts are shown as

No "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the
"Code"), or "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of
ERISA (other than events with respect to which the 30-day notice requirement under Section 4043 of ERISA has been waived) has occurred with respect to any employee benefit plan
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; each employee benefit plan is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law; including ERISA and the Code; the
Company has not incurred and does not expect to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from any "pension plan;" and each "pension plan" (as defined
in ERISA) for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred,
whether by action or by failure to act, which could cause the loss of such qualification.

(dd)
There has been no storage, generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind of toxic or other wastes or other hazardous
substances by, due to, or caused by the Company (or, to the Company's knowledge, any other entity for whose acts or omissions the Company is or may be liable) upon any property of any person or
entity, including without limitation, any property now or previously owned or leased by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, which would be a violation of any statute or any ordinance, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit or which would, under any statute or any ordinance, rule (including rule of common law), regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit, or which would
give rise to any liability, except for any violation or liability which would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate with all such violations and liabilities, a Material
Adverse Effect. There has been no disposal discharge, emission or other release of any kind onto such property or into the environment surrounding such property of any toxic or other wastes or other
hazardous substances with respect to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has knowledge. The Company has not agreed to assume, undertake or provide indemnification for any liability of any
other person under any Environmental Law, including any obligation for cleanup or remedial action, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ee)
The Company and the Subsidiaries possess such permits, franchises, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, "Governmental
Licenses") issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated or proposed to be operated by
them as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except where the failure to possess any such Governmental License would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure to so comply would not individually or in the
aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of any such Government License or failure of such
Governmental License to be in full force and effect would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any
notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which if revoked or modified would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ff)
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in
the businesses in
which they are engaged. All policies of insurance insuring the Company and the Subsidiaries or their businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors and managers are in full force

and effect. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with such terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects. There are no claims by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause where such denial of liability would have a Material
Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Neither the Company nor any of the
Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as described in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

of (i) Video Update's bankruptcy, (ii) any bar date established in Video Update's bankruptcy case, and (iii) the Plan. No party in interest has filed any appeal or motion, or to
the knowledge of the Company, has threatened to file or is contemplating filing, any appeal or motion, in each case, with respect to the entry of the Confirmation Order (including without limitation a
motion to stay or modify the Confirmation Order). No stay of the Confirmation Order is or has been in effect. The Confirmation Order has not been modified.

payment by the several
Underwriters therefor, and the crediting by DTC of the Shares to the securities accounts of the several Underwriters with DTC, DTC will be a "protected purchaser" of the Shares (as defined in

conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien, or other theory) based on an adverse claim to such Shares may be asserted against the Underwriters assuming they have no notice of any adverse
claim.

(h)
Such Selling Stockholder has not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or which constitutes or which might reasonably be
expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the shares of Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

(i)
At the time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, when the Prospectus is
first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 434, when any supplement to or amendment of the Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the Closing Date and the
Additional Closing Date, if any, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
and did not and will not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (i) in the case of the Registration Statement, not
misleading and (ii) in the case of the Prospectus or any related Preliminary Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. When any related Preliminary
Prospectus was first filed with the Commission (whether filed as part of the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares or any amendment thereto or pursuant to Rule 424(a) under
the Securities Act) and when any amendment thereof or supplement thereto was first filed with the Commission, such Preliminary Prospectus and any
amendments thereof and supplements thereto did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No representation and warranty is made in this subsection (i), however, with respect to any
information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any related Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in
conformity with the Underwriters' Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in the penultimate sentence of Section 1(b).

against such Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter for a brokerage commission, finder's fee or other like payment in connection with this offering.

(k)
Such Selling Stockholder, without independent verification, has no reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof are
not true and correct, is familiar with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and has no knowledge of any material fact, condition or information not disclosed in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus which has had or may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and the Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, and is not prompted to sell any of
the Shares by any information concerning the Company which is not set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(l)
Each certificate signed by any officer or other representative of such Selling Stockholder and delivered to the Underwriters or Underwriters' Counsel pursuant to this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby.

fourth business day (as permitted under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act) after the determination of the initial public offering price of the Shares), or such other time not later
than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called the
"Closing Date").

Payment

Representatives may request at least one business day before the Closing Date. The Company and the Selling Stockholders will permit the Representatives to examine and package such certificates for
delivery at least one full business day prior to the Closing Date.

(c)
In addition, the Over-Allotment Selling Stockholders hereby grant to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, the option to purchase up to 1,237,500
Additional Shares in the aggregate at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters to the Company and the Selling Stockholders for the Firm Shares as set forth in this
Section 3, for the sole purpose of covering over-allotments in the sale of Firm Shares by the Underwriters. This option may be exercised at any time and from time to time, in whole
or in part on one or more occasions, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice by the Representatives to the Over-Allotment Selling
Stockholders. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, each Over-Allotment Selling Stockholder's pro rata proportion
of such Additional Shares, and the date and time, as reasonably determined by the Representatives, when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (any such date and time being herein sometimes
referred to as the "Additional Closing Date");provided, however, that the Additional Closing Date shall
not be earlier than the Closing Date or earlier than the second full business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the eighth full business day after the
date on which the option shall have been exercised (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof). Certificates for the Additional Shares shall
be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Representatives may request in writing at least one full business day prior to the Additional Closing Date. The Company
will permit the Representatives to examine and package such certificates for delivery at least one full business day prior to the Additional Closing Date.

If
the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Additional Shares, each Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of
Additional Shares then being purchased which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto (or such number increased as set forth in
Section 10 hereof) bears to the total number of Firm Shares being purchased from the Company and the Selling Stockholders, subject, however, to
such adjustments to eliminate any fractional shares as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make.

Payment

and the Selling Stockholders that:

(a)
If the Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective the Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto to become
effective as promptly as possible, and if Rule 430A is used or the filing of the Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b) or Rule 434, the Company will file the
Prospectus (properly completed if Rule 430A has been used) pursuant to Rule 424(b) within the prescribed time period and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such
timely filing. If the Company elects to rely on Rule 434, the Company will prepare and file a term sheet that complies with the requirements of Rule 434.

The
Company will notify the Representatives immediately (and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such notice in writing) (i) when the Registration Statement and any
amendments thereto become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information,
(iii) of the Company's intention to file or prepare any supplement, revision or amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (iv) of the mailing or the delivery to the

have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, in the judgment of the Underwriters (based on advice from Underwriters' Counsel) or the Company, include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time
of delivery to the purchaser, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus or Registration Statement to comply with the Securities Act or the Rules

so long as required for the distribution thereof; except that in no event shall the Company be obligated in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to
service of process.

Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and any and
all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or
any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Shares, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or in
any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, 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;provided, however,that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any
such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with the written information furnished to the Company by an Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter consists of the Underwriters' Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have
including under this Agreement. The foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter who failed to deliver a Prospectus (as
then amended or supplemented, provided by the Company to the several Underwriters in the requisite quantity and on a timely basis to permit proper delivery on or prior to the Closing Date) to the
person asserting any losses, claims, damages and liabilities and judgments caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, 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, if such material misstatement or
omission or alleged material misstatement or omission was cured, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a decision not subject to further appeal, in such Prospectus and such Prospectus
was required by law to be delivered at or prior to the written confirmation of sale to such person.

(b)
Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not
limited to reasonable attorneys' fees

18

---

and any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid
in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration
statement for the registration of the Shares, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof,
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; provided, however, that with respect to the Selling Stockholders that are not the Over-Allotment Selling Stockholders (such Selling
Stockholders referred to herein as the "Other Selling Stockholders"), such Other Selling Stockholders will only be liable under this Section 8(b)
to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission made in the registration statement for the registration of the Shares, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or in
any supplement thereto or amendment thereof,
in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished by or on behalf of such Other Selling Stockholders to the Company specifically for use therein; provided, furtherthat the
Selling Stockholders will not be liable in any such case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the
written information furnished to the Company by an Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished to the
Company by any Underwriter consists of the Underwriters' Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have including under
this Agreement. The foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter who failed to deliver a Prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented, provided by the Company to the several Underwriters in the requisite quantity and on a timely basis to permit proper delivery on or prior to the Closing Date) to the person asserting any
losses, claims, damages and liabilities and judgments caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, 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, if such material misstatement or omission or alleged
material misstatement or omission was cured, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a decision not subject to further appeal, in such Prospectus and such Prospectus was required by law
to be delivered at or prior to the written confirmation of sale to such person.

(c)
Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the directors of the Company, each of the officers of the Company who shall have
signed the Registration Statement, each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each
of the Selling Stockholders, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation),
joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Shares, as
originally filed or any amendment thereof, or any related preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment

19

---

thereof or supplement thereto, 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company by an Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter consists of the Underwriters' Information. This indemnity will
be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have including under this Agreement.

(d)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of any claims or 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 each party against whom
indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have under this Section 8 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying
party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party may participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party;provided
however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action,
(ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the
indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, or (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses
available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct
the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened investigation, action
or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless (x) such settlement, compromise or judgment
(i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability 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 the indemnified party, and (y) the indemnifying party confirms in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such settlement, compromise or judgment.

(e)
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate liability of each Selling Stockholder under the indemnity provisions of this Section 8, under
the contribution provisions of this Section 9 or for losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon a breach by such Selling
Stockholder of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2(i), shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, received by such
Selling Stockholder from the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters hereunder.

20

---

9.Contribution.In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for
in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company, the Selling
Stockholders and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any
investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting, in the case of
losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses suffered by the Company, any contribution received by the Company from persons, other than the Underwriters, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the
Company) as incurred to which the Company, the Selling Stockholders and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on
the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total
proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand bears to (y) the
underwriting discount received by the Underwriters on the other hand, respectively, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and
the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand 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 and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other hand and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 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. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the Shares are underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each
person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Selling Stockholders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall

21

---

have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Selling Stockholders, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9. Any party entitled to
contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party
or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be
sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 9 or otherwise. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this
Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint. The obligations of the Selling Stockholders to contribute
pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares sold by each of the Selling Stockholders hereunder and not joint.

10.Default by an Underwriter.

(a)
If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligation to purchase Firm Shares or Additional Shares hereunder, and if the Firm Shares or Additional Shares with
respect to which such default relates do not (after giving effect to arrangements, if any, made by the Representatives pursuant to subsection (b) below) exceed in the aggregate 10% of the
number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, the Firm Shares or Additional Shares to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to the
respective proportions which the numbers of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto bear to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names
of the non-defaulting Underwriters.

(b)
In the event that such default relates to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for them or
for another party or parties (including any non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters who so agree) to purchase such Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, to which such
default relates on the terms contained herein. In the event that within five calendar days after such a default the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of the Firm Shares or Additional
Shares, as the case may be, to which such default relates as provided in this Section 10, this Agreement or, in the case of a default with respect to the Additional Shares, the obligations of
the Underwriters to purchase and of the Over-Allotment Selling Stockholders to sell the Additional Shares shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of the Company with
respect thereto (except in each case as provided in Sections 6, 8(a) and 9 hereof) or the Underwriters (except in the case as provided in Sections 8(c) and 9 hereof), or the Selling Stockholders
(except in the case as provided in Sections 8(b), 8(e) and 9 hereof), but nothing in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters of its or their liability, if any, to the
other Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders for damages occasioned by its or their default hereunder.

(c)
In the event that the Firm Shares or Additional Shares to which the default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by
another party or parties as aforesaid, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Additional Closing Date, as the case may be for a period, not exceeding
five business days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees
to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which, in the opinion of Underwriters' Counsel, may thereby be made necessary or advisable. The term
"Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if it had originally been a
party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Shares and Additional Shares.

11.Survival of Representations and Agreements.All representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of
the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any Subsidiary submitted pursuant hereto,

22

---

including the agreements contained in Section 6, the indemnity agreements contained in Section 8 and the contribution agreements contained in Section 9, shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person thereof or by or on behalf of the Company, any of its officers and
directors or any controlling person thereof or by the Selling Stockholders, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares to and by the Underwriters. The representations contained in
Section 1 and the agreements contained in Sections 6, 8, 9 and 12(e) hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement, including termination pursuant to Section 10 or 12 hereof.

12.Effective Date of Agreement; Termination.

(a)
This Agreement shall become effective, upon the later of (i) receipt by the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholders of notification of the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or (ii) the execution of this Agreement. If either the initial public offering price or the purchase price per Share has not been agreed upon prior to
5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the fifth full business day after the Registration Statement shall have become effective, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate without liability to the
Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters except as herein expressly provided. Until this Agreement becomes effective as aforesaid, it may be terminated by the Company or any Selling
Stockholder by notifying the Representatives or by the Representatives by notifying the Company and the Selling Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 12
and of Sections 1, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be in full force and effect.

(b)
The Representatives shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date or the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Additional Shares
at any time prior to the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, (A) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the
Representatives will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Company's securities or securities in general; or (B) if trading on The New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") or The NASDAQ National Market (the "NASDAQ") shall have been suspended or been made subject
to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the Exchange, the NASDAQ or by order
of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (C) if a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or if any material disruption in
commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (D) any downgrading shall have occurred in the Company's corporate credit rating or the rating accorded
the Company's debt securities or preferred stock by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act) or if any 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; or (E) (i) if there
shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or
(ii) if there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (i) or (ii), in the judgment of
the Representatives, makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the
Prospectus.

(c)
If one or more of the Selling Stockholders shall fail to sell and deliver to the Underwriters the Shares to be sold and delivered by such Selling Stockholders at the Closing Date
pursuant to this Agreement, then the Underwriters may at their option, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company and the Selling Stockholders, either (i) terminate this
Agreement without any liability on the part of any Underwriter or, except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof, the Company or the Selling Stockholders, or (ii) purchase the Shares which the
Company and other Selling Stockholders

23

---

have agreed to sell and deliver in accordance with the terms hereof. If one or more of the Selling Stockholders shall fail to sell and deliver to the Underwriters the Shares to be sold and delivered
by such Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, then the Underwriters shall have the right, by written notice from the Representatives to
the Company and the Selling Stockholders, to postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required
changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

(d)
Any notice of termination pursuant to this Section 12 shall be in writing.

(e)
If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof (otherwise than pursuant to (i) notification by the Representatives as provided in
Section 12(a) hereof or (ii) Section 10(b) hereof), or if the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the
Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement herein or comply with any
provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by the Representatives, reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of
their counsel), incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith.
