the Securities. 
 The Securities will be issued pursuant to (i) in the case of the Dollar Securities, that certain indenture, dated as
of November 12, 2019 (the “Dollar Securities Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee for the Existing Dollar Securities (as defined below) and the Dollar Securities, as supplemented
by a supplemental indenture, to be dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Dollar Securities Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Dollar Securities Base Indenture, the “Dollar Securities Indenture”) and
(ii) in the case of the Euro Securities, an indenture, to be dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Euro Securities Indenture” and, together with the Dollar Securities Indenture, the “Indentures”), between
the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee for the Euro Securities. The Dollar Securities will be issued only in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),

form to the depositary of the Euro Securities, as nominee of Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”), as operator of the Euroclear system, and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”).

 The Company has previously issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Existing Dollar
Securities”) under the Dollar Securities Base Indenture. The Dollar Securities constitute “Additional Notes” (as such term is defined in the Dollar Securities Base Indenture) under the Dollar Securities Indenture. Except as
otherwise described in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below), the Dollar Securities will have identical terms to the Existing Dollar Securities and will be treated as a single series of debt for all purposes under the Dollar Securities
Indenture. 












 The holders of the Securities will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights
agreement, to be dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company will be required to file with the Commission (as defined below),
under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Securities (the
“Exchange Securities”) to be offered in exchange for the Securities (the “Exchange Offer”) or (ii) a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain
holders of the Securities, and in each case, to use its best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective. All references herein to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer are only applicable if the Company is in
fact required to consummate the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 This Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement, the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Indentures are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” 

The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth
herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent
Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package (the first time when sales of the Securities are made is referred to as the “Time of Sale”). The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the
Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the
rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indentures, investors who acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Securities may
only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions
afforded by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)). 

The Company has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated February 19, 2020

“Final Offering Memorandum”). 
 All references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” and “Final

Commission promulgated thereunder) prior to the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) or the Final Offering Memorandum (as the case may be), and all references
herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Exchange Act after the Time

(other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company makes no representation), have complied with and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Securities outside the
United States, and in connection therewith, the Offering Memorandum will contain the disclosure required by Rule 902. The Company is a “reporting issuer,” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act. The Securities sold in

registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (ff)    Taxes. The Company and its
subsidiaries have paid all material national, regional, local and other taxes and have filed all material tax returns required to be paid or filed, each through the date hereof; and there is no tax deficiency that has been asserted or threatened in
writing against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, except for any such deficiency that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or except as otherwise disclosed in
the Offering Memorandum. 
 (gg)    No Withholding Tax. All payments to be made by or on
behalf of the Company under this Agreement and, except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, all payments of interest, principal, premium, if any, additional amounts, if any, and other payments on or under the Securities will not be subject to
withholding or other taxes under the current laws and regulations of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein. 

(hh)    Stamp Duty. No stamp, registration, documentary, capital, issuance, transfer or other
similar taxes or duties (“Stamp Taxes”) are payable by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers in the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein in connection with (i) the creation, issuance or delivery by the
Company of the Securities, (ii) the purchase by the Initial Purchasers of the Securities in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) the resale and delivery by the Initial Purchasers of the Securities in the manner contemplated by
this Agreement, (iv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or (v) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 

(ii)    Compliance with FSMA. The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to
occur of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of the distribution of the Securities, will not distribute any material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final
Offering Memorandum or other materials, if any, permitted by the Securities Act and the U.K. Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”), or regulations promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act or the FSMA, and approved
by the parties to this Agreement. 
 Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Initial Purchasers or to
counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters set forth therein.

 SECTION 2.    Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Securities. 

(a)    The Securities. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers, severally and
not jointly, all of the Securities, and, subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Initial Purchasers agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names on
Schedule A-1 and Schedule A-2, at a purchase price equal to (i) in the case of the Dollar Securities, 98.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest from November 12, 2019, and (ii) in the case of the Euro Securities, 99.125% of the principal amount thereof, in each case, payable on the Closing Date, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements
herein contained, and upon the terms herein set forth. 
 (b)    The Closing Date. Delivery of
certificates for the Securities in definitive form to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers and payment therefor shall be made at the offices of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, 80 Pine St., New York, NY, 10005 (or such other place as may be
agreed to by the Company and the Representatives) at 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on February 26, 2020, or such other time and date as the Representatives shall designate by notice to the Company (the time and date of such closing are called
the “Closing Date”). The Company hereby acknowledges that circumstances under which the Representatives may provide notice to postpone the Closing Date as originally scheduled include, but are in no way limited to, any determination
by the Company or the Initial Purchasers to recirculate to investors copies of an amended or supplemented Offering Memorandum or a delay as contemplated by the provisions of Section 17 hereof. 

(c)    Delivery of the Securities. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the
Representatives for the accounts of the several Initial Purchasers certificates for the Securities at the Closing Date against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the aggregate purchase price
therefor. The certificates for the Dollar Securities shall be in such denominations ($2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) and registered in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, pursuant to the
DTC Agreement. The certificates for the Euro Securities shall be in such denominations (€100,000 or integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof) and registered in book-entry form to the depositary for the Euro Securities, as nominee of
Euroclear, as operator of the Euroclear system and Clearstream. The certificates for the Securities shall be made available for inspection on the business day preceding the Closing Date at a location in New York City, as the Representatives may
designate. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers. 

(d)    Initial Purchasers as Qualified Institutional Buyers. Each Initial Purchaser severally and not
jointly represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that: 
 (i)    it will offer and sell
Securities only to (a) persons who it reasonably believes are “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Qualified Institutional Buyers”) in transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 144A
or (b) upon the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I to this Agreement; 
 (ii)    it is
an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act; and 

(iii)    it will not offer or sell Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising,
including but not limited to the methods described in Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act. 

  
 11 













 SECTION 3.    Additional Covenants. The Company further
covenants and agrees with each Initial Purchaser as follows: 
 (a)    Preparation of Final
Offering Memorandum; Initial Purchasers’ Review of Proposed Amendments and Supplements and Company Additional Written Communications. As promptly as practicable following the Time of Sale and in any event not later than
the second business day following the date hereof, the Company will prepare and deliver to the Initial Purchasers the Final Offering Memorandum, which shall consist of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum as modified only by the information contained
in the Pricing Supplement. The Company will not amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Pricing Supplement. The Company will not amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum prior to the Closing Date unless the
Representatives shall previously have been furnished a copy of the proposed amendment or supplement prior to the proposed use or filing, and shall not have reasonably objected to such amendment or supplement. Before making, preparing, using,
authorizing, approving or distributing any Company Additional Written Communication, the Company will furnish to the Representatives a copy of such written communication for review and will not make, prepare, use, authorize, approve or distribute
any such written communication to which the Representatives reasonably object. 

(b)    Amendments and Supplements to the Final Offering Memorandum and Other Securities Act
Matters. If at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which any of the Pricing Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit 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 or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement any of the Pricing Disclosure
Package to comply with law, the Company will promptly notify the Initial Purchasers thereof and forthwith prepare and (subject to Section 3(a) hereof) furnish to the Initial Purchasers such amendments or supplements to any of the Pricing
Disclosure Package as may be necessary so that the statements in any of the Pricing Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or so that any of the Pricing
Disclosure Package will comply with all applicable law. If, prior to the completion of the placement of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers with the Subsequent Purchasers, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is
necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Final Offering Memorandum is delivered to a Subsequent Purchaser,
not misleading, or if in the judgment of the Representatives or counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Company agrees to promptly prepare (subject to
Section 3 hereof) (or in the case of documents incorporated by reference into the Final Offering Memorandum, to file with the Commission) and furnish at its own expense to the Initial Purchasers, amendments or supplements to the Final Offering
Memorandum so that the statements in the Final Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances at the Closing Date and at the time of sale of Securities, be misleading or so that the Final Offering
Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with all applicable law. 
 Following the consummation of the Exchange
Offer or the effectiveness of an applicable shelf registration statement and for so long as the Securities are outstanding, if, in the judgment of the Representatives, the Initial Purchasers or any of their respective affiliates (as such term is
defined in the Securities Act) are required to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of, or market-making activities with respect to, the Securities, the Company agrees to periodically amend the applicable registration statement so that the
information contained therein complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, to amend the applicable registration statement or supplement the 

  
 12 













 
related prospectus or the documents incorporated therein when necessary to reflect any material changes in the information provided therein so that the registration statement and the prospectus
will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing as of the date the prospectus is so delivered, not misleading
and to provide the Initial Purchasers with copies of each amendment or supplement filed and such other documents as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request. 

The Company hereby expressly acknowledges that the indemnification and contribution provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof
are specifically applicable and relate to each offering memorandum, registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement referred to in this Section 3. 

(c)    Copies of the Offering Memorandum. The Company agrees to furnish the Initial
Purchasers, without charge, as many copies of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto as they shall reasonably request. 

(d)    Blue Sky Compliance. The Company shall cooperate with the Representatives and
counsel for the Initial Purchasers to qualify or register (or to obtain exemptions from qualifying or registering) all or any part of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities laws of the several states of the United States, the
provinces of Canada or any other jurisdictions designated by the Representatives, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities.
The Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as
a foreign corporation. The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any
initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof
as soon as reasonably practicable. 
 (e)    Use of Proceeds. The Company shall
apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities sold by it in the manner described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Pricing Disclosure Package. 

(f)    Clearance and Settlement. The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchasers and
use its best efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of DTC, in the case of the Dollar Securities, and, in the case of the Euro Securities, Euroclear and Clearstream. 

(g)    Additional Issuer Information. Prior to the completion of the placement of the
Securities by the Initial Purchasers with the Subsequent Purchasers, the Company shall file, on a timely basis, with the Commission all reports and documents required to be filed under Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, while
any Securities remain “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act, at any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act, for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners from time to
time of the Securities, the Company shall furnish, at its expense, upon request, to holders and beneficial owners of Securities and prospective purchasers of Securities information (“Additional Issuer Information”) satisfying the
requirements of Rule 144A(d). 

  
 13 













 (h)    Listing of the Euro Securities. The
Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain the listing of the Euro Securities on the Exchange and the admission to trading of the Euro Securities on the Global Exchange Market of the Exchange as promptly as practicable
after the date hereof, and (ii) maintain such listing and admission to trading for so long as such Euro Securities are outstanding. 

(i)    Agreement Not To Offer or Sell Additional Securities. During the period of 30
days following the date hereof, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Representatives), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any
option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering
of, or file any registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any debt securities of the Company or securities exchangeable for or convertible into debt securities of the Company (other than as contemplated by this Agreement and to
register the Exchange Securities). 
 (j)    No Integration. The Company agrees that
it will not and will cause its Affiliates not to make any offer or sale of securities of the Company of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 under the Securities Act, such offer or sale would
render invalid (for the purpose of (i) the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of the Securities by
such Subsequent Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or by Regulation S thereunder or otherwise. 

(k)    No General Solicitation or Directed Selling Efforts. The Company agrees that it will
not and will not permit any of its Affiliates or any other person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) to (i) solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by means of any
form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or (ii) engage in any directed
selling efforts with respect to the Securities within the meaning of Regulation S, and the Company will and will cause all such persons to comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S with respect to the Securities. 

(l)    No Restricted Resales. During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the
Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to resell any of the Securities, which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 that have been reacquired by any of
them. 
 (m)    Legended Securities. Each certificate for a Security will bear the legend
contained in “Notice to Investors” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. 

(n)    Taxes. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchasers against any
Stamp Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein in connection with (i) the creation, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, (ii) the initial resale thereof by the Initial Purchasers, and
(iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 

(o)    Payments. All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be exclusive of
any value added tax or any other tax of a similar nature (“VAT”) which is chargeable 

  
 14 













 
thereon and if any VAT is or becomes chargeable in respect of any such payment, the Company shall, subject to receipt of an appropriate VAT invoice, pay in addition the amount of such VAT (at the
same time and in the same manner as the payment to which such VAT relates). For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts charged by the Initial Purchasers or for which the Initial Purchasers are to be reimbursed will be invoiced and payable together
with VAT, where applicable. Any amount for which the Initial Purchasers are to be reimbursed or indemnified under this Agreement will be reimbursed or indemnified together with an amount equal to any VAT payable in relation to the cost, fee,
expense or other amount to which the reimbursement or indemnification relates. 
 The Representatives may, in their sole discretion, waive
in writing the performance by the Company of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance. 

SECTION 4.    Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in

and expenses incurred by the Company or the Initial Purchasers in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities
laws of the several states of the United States, the provinces of Canada or other jurisdictions designated by the Initial Purchasers (including, without limitation, the cost of preparing, printing and mailing preliminary and final blue sky or legal

Pricing Disclosure Package; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or

If any condition specified in this Section 5 is not satisfied when and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by
the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, which termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be
effective and shall survive such termination. 
 SECTION 6.    Reimbursement of Initial
Purchasers’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representatives pursuant to Section 5 or 10 hereof, including if the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities on the Closing Date is not
consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers, severally, upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Securities,

 (b)    Indemnification of the Company. Each
Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company or any such director, officer and employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state
statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or
actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional
Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing
Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser
through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company and each such director, officer and employee, or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are
reasonably incurred by the Company or such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that
the only information that the Initial Purchasers through the Representatives have furnished to the Company expressly 

  
 19 













 
for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are
(i) the names of the Initial Purchasers on the cover page of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, and (ii) the statements set forth in (x) the second, third and fourth sentences of the sixth
paragraph, the fourth sentence of the seventh paragraph, the ninth paragraph, the tenth paragraph and the twenty ninth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and (y) the second, third
and fourth sentences of the sixth paragraph, the fourth sentence of the seventh paragraph, the ninth paragraph, the tenth paragraph and the thirtieth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Final Offering Memorandum. The
indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. 

(c)    Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been materially
prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this Section 8.
In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall
elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, 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
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may
arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional
to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have
employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local
counsel), which shall be selected by the Representatives (in the case of counsel representing the Initial Purchasers or their related persons), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party
shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnifying party. 
 (d)    Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, 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 against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party
to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of 

  
 20 













 
any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and
(ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by
such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does
not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

SECTION 9.    Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason
held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company,
on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein 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, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering prices of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such
inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy. 
 The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided,
however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification. 

The Company and the Initial Purchasers 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 Initial Purchasers 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 in this Section 9. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price or prices of the Securities purchased and sold by it hereunder exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been 

  
 21 













 
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue state or omission or alleged omission in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer and employee of an Initial
Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 

SECTION 10.    Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be
terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the Nasdaq Stock Market, or trading
in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal or New York authorities; or
(iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable
or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of
(i) the Company to any Initial Purchaser, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (ii) any Initial Purchaser to the Company, or (iii) any
party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. 

SECTION 11.    Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, the Company or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of
this Agreement.

parties hereto, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and in each case their respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors”
shall not include any Subsequent Purchaser or other purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely by reason of such purchase. 

SECTION 14.    Authority of the Representatives. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken
by the Representatives on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 (a)    Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New
York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions,
or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of
the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court.
The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any
Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 SECTION
17.    Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the
Closing Date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be
purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth
opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the
non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of
the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing
Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party
except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Company shall have the right to postpone the 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 Final Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting
Initial Purchaser under this Section 17. Any action taken under this Section 17 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement. 

SECTION 18.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering prices of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an
arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands
and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been
acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or
any other obligation 

  
 24 













 
to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Initial
Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby, and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

 The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the several
Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty. 
 SECTION 19.    Recognition of
the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. 
 (a) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under
the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 

(b) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 
 For purposes
of this Section 19, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the

required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their clients, which may include the name and address of their clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their clients.

prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the
same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy, facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or
“tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived
