the Custody Agreement and, in the case of the Company’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), those in favor of ESOP participants.

(c) The Stock to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, which is represented by the certificates or book entry shares or exercisable options (or, in the case of BHC, which is issuable upon exercise of warrants) held in custody for such Selling Stockholder, is subject to the interest of the Underwriters and the other Selling Stockholders thereunder, the arrangements made by such Selling Stockholder for such custody are to that extent irrevocable, and the obligations of such Selling Stockholder hereunder shall not be terminated by any act of such Selling Stockholder, by operation of law, by the death or incapacity of such Selling Stockholder (if such Selling Stockholder is an individual) or, if such Selling Stockholder is a trust, by the death or incapacity of any executor or trustee or the termination of such trust, or the occurrence of any other event (except, in the case of the ESOP, as may otherwise be required by applicable law).

(f) Pursuant to the Custody Agreement, such Selling Stockholder has appointed Andrew J. Paul and Nicholas B. Hawkins as such Selling Stockholder’s attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Attorney-in-Fact”), with full power of substitution, and with full authority (exercisable by any one or more of them) to approve the form and terms of, execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder and to take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof on behalf of such Selling Stockholder.

3. Purchase of the Stock by the Underwriters. On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell 4,124,000 shares of the Firm Stock and each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to sell the number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2 hereto under the caption “Number of Shares of Firm Stock” to the several Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase the number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite that Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto. Each Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase from the Company, and from each Selling Stockholder, that number of shares of the Firm Stock that represents the same proportion of the number of shares of the Firm Stock to be sold by the Company and by each Selling Stockholder as the number of shares of the Firm Stock set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule 1 represents to the total number of shares of the Firm Stock to

be purchased by all of the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement. The respective purchase obligations of the Underwriters with respect to the Firm Stock shall be rounded among the Underwriters to avoid fractional shares, as the Representatives may determine.

In addition, the Option Stockholder grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to the number of shares of Option Stock set forth opposite his name on Schedule 2 and the Company grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 359,000 additional shares of Option Stock, severally and not jointly. Such options are exercisable in the event that the Underwriters sell more shares of Common Stock than the number of shares of Firm Stock in the offering and as set forth in Section 5 hereof. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of shares of Option Stock (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of shares of Option Stock to be sold on the applicable Delivery Date as the number of shares of Firm Stock set forth in Schedule 1 hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of shares of Firm Stock. The Option Stockholder, the Company and the Underwriters agree, severally and jointly, that if the Underwriters shall elect to purchase any shares of Option Stock, such shares shall be purchased, first, from the Option Stockholder and, to the extent that the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock that the Underwriters elect to purchase shall exceed 541,000 shares, any remaining shares of Option Stock shall be purchased from the Company.

The purchase price payable by the Underwriters for both the Firm Stock and the Option Stock is $• per share.

The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not be obligated to deliver any of the Firm Stock or Option Stock to be delivered on the applicable Delivery Date, except upon payment for all such Stock to be purchased on such Delivery Date as provided herein.

4. Offering of Stock by the Underwriters. Upon authorization by the Representatives of the release of the Firm Stock, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Firm Stock for sale upon the terms and conditions to be set forth in the Prospectus.

5. Delivery of and Payment for the Stock. Delivery of and payment for the Firm Stock shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the fourth full business day following the date of this Agreement or at such other date or place as shall be determined by agreement between the Representatives and the Company. This date and time are sometimes referred to as the “Initial Delivery Date.” Delivery of the Firm Stock and any Option Stock to be purchased and sold on the Initial Delivery Date shall be made to the Representatives for the account of each Underwriter against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the respective aggregate purchase prices of the Firm Stock and any such Option Stock being sold by the Company and the Selling Stockholders to or upon the order of the Company and any Attorney-in-Fact, respectively, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Company and any Attorney-in-Fact. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery or payment, as the case may be, at the time and place and in the manner specified pursuant to this Agreement is a further condition of the several obligations of each Underwriter, the Company and each Selling Stockholder hereunder. The Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, shall deliver or cause to be delivered the

respective shares of Firm Stock and, if applicable, Option Stock to be sold by each of them through the facilities of DTC unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

The options granted in Section 3 will expire 30 days after the date of this Agreement and may be exercised in whole or from time to time in part by written notice being given to the Option Stockholder and the Company by the Representatives; provided that if such expiration date falls on a day that is not a business day, the options granted in Section 3 will expire on the next succeeding business day. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock as to which the options are being exercised, and the date and time, as determined by the Representatives, when the shares of Option Stock are to be delivered; provided, however, that this date and time (i) shall be later than the Initial Delivery Date, and (ii) shall not be earlier than the third business day nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the options shall have been exercised. Each date and time the shares of Option Stock are delivered is sometimes referred to as an “Option Stock Delivery Date,” and the Initial Delivery Date and any Option Stock Delivery Date are sometimes each referred to as a “Delivery Date.”

Delivery of the Option Stock by the Option Stockholder and/or the Company and payment for the Option Stock by the several Underwriters through the Representatives shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in the preceding paragraph or at such other date or place as shall be determined by agreement between the Representatives and the Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be. On the Option Stock Delivery Date, the Company and/or the Option Stockholder, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered, severally and not jointly, the respective shares of Option Stock, if any, to be sold by each of them to the Representatives for the account of each Underwriter against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the aggregate respective purchase prices of the Option Stock being sold by the Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the respective account(s) specified by the Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be. Time shall be of the essence, and delivery and payment at the time and place and in the manner specified pursuant to this Agreement is a further condition of the several obligations of each Underwriter, the Option Stockholder and the Company hereunder. The Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be, severally and not jointly, shall deliver or cause to be delivered the respective shares of Option Stock, if any, to be sold by each of them through the facilities of DTC unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon written instructions from any Attorney-in-Fact to the Representatives and the Custodian, there may be deducted from any amounts payable by the Underwriters to any Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Section 5 (a) such amounts as may be necessary to pay (or reimburse the Company for the payment of) the expenses that such Selling Stockholder has agreed to pay pursuant to Section 8 hereof or pursuant to the Custody Agreement and (b) in the event that any shares of Stock sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters are issued upon the exercise of stock options in respect of which notices of option exercise have been deposited with or otherwise delivered to the Custodian as contemplated by Section 2(e)(iii) hereof, such amounts as any Attorney-in-Fact may deem necessary to pay the exercise price of such options and to pay or provide for all taxes, duties, imposts or withholdings imposed or payable in connection therewith.

such expenses are properly payable in accordance with this paragraph. Without limitation to the foregoing, each Selling Stockholder agrees that if any Attorney-in-Fact is unable to determine, as of the applicable Delivery Date, the exact amount of any expenses or other amounts payable by such Selling Stockholder as aforesaid, then the amount or amounts to be deducted from the proceeds payable to such Selling Stockholder, as set forth in such certificate, may include such reserves or estimated amounts as may be reasonably determined by such Attorney-in-Fact.

The amounts payable by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this paragraph shall be due and payable on the Initial Delivery Date and each Option Stock Delivery Date, if any, after the Initial Delivery Date; provided that, if the Option Stockholder shall sell any shares of Option Stock to the Underwriters on an Option Stock Delivery Date that is after the Initial Delivery Date, then each Selling Stockholder’s (other than BHC, Cambridge Capital II, LLC and Keating Capital, Inc.) pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of counsel to the Selling Stockholders and each Selling Stockholder’s pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of the Custodian shall be re-computed as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, of the immediately preceding paragraph on the basis of the total number of shares of Firm Stock and Option Stock sold to the Underwriters through and including such Option Stock Delivery Date, and promptly following such Option Stock Delivery Date, the Option Stockholder shall reimburse (x) each of the other Selling Stockholders (other than BHC, Cambridge Capital II, LLC and Keating Capital, Inc.) for an amount equal to the excess of the amount previously paid by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph in respect of the fees and expenses of counsel to the Selling Stockholders (reduced by any reimbursement of such fees and expenses previously paid to such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this paragraph) over such Selling Stockholder’s pro rata portion of such fees and expenses of counsel as re-computed as of such Option Stock Delivery Date and (y) each of the other Selling Stockholders (other than BHC, Cambridge Capital II LLC and Keating Capital, Inc.) and the Company for an amount equal to the excess of the amount previously paid by such Selling Stockholder or the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph in respect of the fees and expenses of the Custodian (reduced by any reimbursement of such fees and expenses previously paid to such Selling Stockholder or the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to this paragraph) over such Selling Stockholder’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, pro rata portion of such fees and expenses of Custodian as re-computed as of such Option Stock Delivery Date; and the Option Stockholder hereby authorizes the Representatives or the Custodian, as the case may be, to pay, by deduction from amounts otherwise payable to the Option Stockholder pursuant to Section 5 hereof in respect of shares of Option Stock sold on any Option Stock Delivery Date that is after the Initial Delivery Date, any and all such amounts as the Option Stockholder may be required to reimburse to the other Selling Stockholders or the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, such reimbursement to be made in such amounts and to such of the other Selling Stockholders and the Company as may be specified by any Attorney-in-Fact, as set forth in a

certificate from such Attorney-in-Fact delivered to the Representatives or the Custodian, as the case may be, which certificate shall set forth the amount or amounts to be deducted and the person or persons to whom such amounts shall be payable and shall state that such amounts are properly payable in accordance with this paragraph.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall not alter or affect any agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and any of the Selling Stockholders, on the other hand, for the payment, apportionment or reimbursement of expenses relating to the offering contemplated hereby.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the total liability of any Selling Stockholder under this Section 10 and for any breach or violation of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such Selling Stockholder in this Agreement or in any certificate or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or contemplated hereby shall be limited to an amount equal to the total gross proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses, from the offering of the shares of the Stock purchased under this Agreement received by such Selling Stockholder, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. Subject to the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence, the foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that such Selling Stockholder may otherwise have to any Underwriter Indemnified Party.

(c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Selling Stockholder, their respective directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Stock), to which the Company, such Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including any electronic road show) or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including any electronic road show) or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required (solely in the case of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (except in the case of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and, subject to Section 10(d), shall reimburse the Company, each Selling Stockholder and each such director, officer, employee and controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company, that Selling Stockholder or that director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in

Section 10(f). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 10 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ legal counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be sought under this Section 10 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party; provided that, in connection with any one action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of generally the same allegations, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of legal counsel (in addition to one firm of local counsel) for all indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall (x) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include a statement as

to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any the indemnified party, or (y) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action that is not subject to appeal, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 10(a), 10(b), or 10(c) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties (as the case may be), on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties (as the case may be), on the one hand, from the offering of the Stock, 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 indemnifying party or parties (as the case may be), on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties (as the case may be), on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, 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, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Stock purchased under this Agreement (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting other expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, as the case may be, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the shares of the Stock purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative 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 contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), (i) in no event shall an Underwriter

be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Stock exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 10(e) are several in proportion to the respective numbers of shares of Stock sold by them to the Underwriters and not joint and the liability of any Selling Stockholder under this Section 10(e) is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10(b). 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. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 10(e) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(f) The Underwriters severally acknowledge and agree, and each of the Company and each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, acknowledges and agrees, that the statements set forth in the following portions of the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto: the statements regarding delivery of shares by the Underwriters set forth on the cover page; the statement regarding the concession and reallowance appearing under the caption “Underwriting – Commissions and Expenses;” the third sentence appearing under the caption “Underwriting – Offering Price Determination”; and the information appearing under the caption “Underwriting—Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids,” but only insofar as concerns the Underwriters; and the information appearing under the caption “Underwriting—Discretionary Sales.”

(g) Each Selling Stockholder (the “Subject Stockholder”), severally and not jointly, acknowledges and agrees, and each of the Company, each other Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, acknowledges and agrees that the only information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Subject Stockholder specifically for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Permitted Issuer Information is the information appearing opposite the name of such Subject Stockholder in the table that appears under the caption “Principal and Selling Stockholders” and any footnote to such information in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.

11. Defaulting Underwriters.

(a) If, on any Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in its obligations to purchase the Stock that it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Representatives, on behalf of the non-defaulting Underwriters, may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Stock by the non-defaulting Underwriters or other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this

Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Stock, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Stock on such terms. In the event that within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Stock, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Stock, either the Representatives or the Company may postpone such Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes that the Company or the Representatives reasonably deem necessary in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any such other document or arrangement that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 11, purchases Stock that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Stock of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Representatives and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the total number of shares of the Stock that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the total number of shares of all the Stock, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the total number of shares of Stock that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the total number of shares of Stock that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Stock of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; provided that the non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the total number of shares of Stock that it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 3.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Stock of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Representatives and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the total number of shares of Stock that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the total number of shares of all the Stock, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement (or, in the case of a default by any Underwriter to purchase Option Stock on a Delivery Date that is after the Initial Delivery Date, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase, and of the Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be, to sell, the Option Stock that was to have been purchased and sold on such Delivery Date) shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement (or, in the case of a default by any Underwriter to purchase Option Stock on a Delivery Date after the Initial Delivery Date, any termination of the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be, to sell the Option Stock that was to have been purchased and sold on such Delivery Date) pursuant to this Section 11 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that, in the case of any such termination of this Agreement, the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set

forth in Section 8 and except that the provisions of Section 10 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company and the Selling Stockholders or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

12. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Stock if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Section 9(l) and 9(m) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

13. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company or any Selling Stockholder shall fail to tender the Stock for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters) incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Stock, and upon demand and following receipt by the Company of reasonable supporting documentation evidencing such out-of-pocket expenses, shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives, provided, however, that if the Option Stockholder and/or the Company, as the case may be, shall fail to tender Stock for delivery to the Underwriters on a Delivery Date after the Initial Delivery Date or the Underwriters shall decline to purchase Stock for any reason permitted under this Agreement on a Delivery Date after the Initial Delivery Date, the Company’s obligation, if any, to reimburse the Underwriters’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as aforesaid shall be limited to those reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred solely in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of Stock on such subsequent Delivery Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (a) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase any Stock on any Delivery Date because of the occurrence of any event or condition referred to in Section 9(m) (other than an event relating solely to a suspension or material limitation in trading of securities of the Company) or because of conditions set forth in Section 9(f) shall not have been satisfied or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase any Stock on any Delivery Date or this Agreement (or the Underwriters’ obligation to purchase Option Stock on a Delivery Date after the Initial Delivery Date, as the case may be) is terminated pursuant to Section 11 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses.

14. Research Analyst Independence. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, hereby waives and releases, to

the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the Company.

15. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, the sale of the Stock or any other services the Underwriters may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Underwriters: (a) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, exists; (b) the Underwriters are not acting as advisors, expert or otherwise, to either the Company or the Selling Stockholders, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Stock, and such relationship between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (c) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company or Selling Stockholders shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Stockholders. Each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, hereby waives any claims that it may have against the Underwriters with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with this offering.

16. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:
