The rights, powers and preferences of the Shares are set forth in the certificate of designations relating to the Shares to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Certificate of Designations”).

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Shares, as follows:

1. Registration Statement. An automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279151), including a prospectus (the prospectus filed as part of such registration statement is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus”) relating to the Shares, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and has become effective under the Securities Act. Such registration statement, as amended, including any prospectus supplement relating to the Shares filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act and any other information deemed to be part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated September 17, 2024 to reflect the final terms of the Shares and the offering thereof, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Prospectus.” The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by any preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus which describes the Shares and the offering thereof, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, is hereinafter referred to as the “Preliminary Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents that were filed by the Company on or prior to the respective dates thereof under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, a Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any post-effective amendment thereto and the filing of any document under the Exchange Act deemed to be incorporated therein by reference after the respective dates thereof.

At or prior to the time when sales of the Shares were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): the Preliminary Prospectus and each “free writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex A hereto as constituting part of the Time of Sale Information.

2. Purchase by the Underwriters of the Shares.

(a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Shares to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at a price per share of $987.50 from the Company the respective number of Shares set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any of the Shares except upon payment for all the Shares to be purchased as provided herein.

(b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Shares as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Shares on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Shares to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Shares purchased by it to or through any Underwriter, provided that any such affiliate complies with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Payment for and delivery of the Shares will be made at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on September 24, 2024, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing.

The Shares to be so delivered shall be delivered through the facilities of DTC.

(e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of the Shares contemplated hereby (including, in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person

Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriters that:

Before finalizing the Prospectus or making or distributing any amendment or supplement to any of the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Prospectus or such amendment or supplement for review, and will not distribute any such proposed Prospectus, amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object in a timely fashion; and, during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) completion of the distribution of the Shares and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, before filing with the Commission any document that will be incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, and, to the extent practicable and that would not cause any delay in any required filings, provide each with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on (it being understood that the Company is not obligated to accept any such comments), a copy of such document to be incorporated by reference therein. The Representatives shall promptly notify the Company of the date of completion of the distribution of the Shares. Before using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and will not use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to which the Representatives reasonably object in a timely fashion.

(e) Notice to the Representatives. Until the later of the end of the Prospectus Delivery Period or the Closing Date, the Company will advise the Representatives promptly, and confirm such advice in writing (which confirmation may be delivered via email), (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by any governmental or regulatory authority of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration

13

Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any of the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or, to the knowledge of the Company, the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event at any time prior to the completion of the initial offering of the Shares as a result of which any of the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when such Time of Sale Information, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act and (vii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or, to the knowledge of the Company, the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any of the Time of Sale Information or any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Shares and, if any such order is issued, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(f) Time of Sale Information. 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 Time of Sale Information 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 Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Representatives such amendments or supplements to any of the Time of Sale Information (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in any of the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented (including such document to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, be misleading or so that any of the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

(g) Ongoing Compliance of the Prospectus. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus 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 existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will promptly notify the

14

Representatives thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, furnish to the Representatives such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus (or any document to be filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference therein) as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented (including such document to be incorporated by reference therein) will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law.

(h) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject. The company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which Shares have been qualified as above provided.

(i) Clear Market. The Company will not, for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing to and including the date 30 days after the date of the Prospectus, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, issue, sell, offer to contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any preferred stock, securities exchangeable for or convertible into preferred stock or any debt securities substantially similar to the preferred stock, except for the Shares sold to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement. For clarity, this Section 4(i) does not restrict in any manner the repurchase or redemption of any preferred stock, securities exchangeable for or convertible into preferred stock or any debt securities substantially similar to the preferred stock.

(j) Use of Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares as disclosed in each of the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”

(k) No Stabilization. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Shares, except as otherwise permitted by Regulation M under the Exchange Act (it being understood that the Company makes no statement as to the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the offering).

(l) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Representatives as soon as practicable an earnings statement that satisfies the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

15

(m) DTC. The Company will assist the Underwriters in arranging for the Shares to be eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.

(n) Record Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

5. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each of the Underwriters hereby represents and agrees that it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such Underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or 4(c) above (including any electronic road show approved by the Company), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter and approved by the Company in advance in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use a term sheet substantially in the form of Annex B hereto without the consent of the Company.

No Material Adverse Change shall have occurred or shall exist, which event or condition is not disclosed in the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto), the Registration Statement (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the effect of which in the judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(b) No Downgrade. For the period from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company’s debt or preferred equity securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined under Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced or given any notice of any intended or potential downgrading or that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt or preferred equity securities.

The Representatives shall have received on and as of the Closing Date a certificate of an executive officer of the Company who has specific knowledge of the Company’s financial matters and is satisfactory to the Representatives confirming that to the best of such officer’s knowledge after due inquiry that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date of such certificate, (ii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the date of such certificate in all material respects, and (iii) since the respective dates of which information is given in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or since the date of this Agreement, there has been no Material Adverse Effect except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Information, Registration Statement or Prospectus.

All opinions, letters, certificates and evidence mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its members, employees, selling agents, affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

18

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any of the other Time of Sale Information (including any of the other Time of Sale Information that has subsequently been amended), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus: (i) the name of such Underwriter set forth on the cover page, and (ii) the information contained in the fifth paragraph, the third sentence of the seventh paragraph, the tenth paragraph and the fifteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” (the information described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Underwriter Information”).

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded based on the advice of counsel chosen by it and satisfactory to the Indemnifying Person that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those

19

available to the Indemnifying Person. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into, and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for such settlement if the delay in such reimbursement is due to (A) a dispute, with reasonable basis, regarding the amount of fees and expenses for which such reimbursement is sought or (B) a good-faith dispute based on the advice of counsel regarding the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to reimbursement of such fees and expenses. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable as a matter of law to an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only

20

the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses but after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) received by the Company from the sale of the Shares and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus and as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, 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 or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other reasonable expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, 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 Shares 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. 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 pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

21

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date: (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by either the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement services in the United States has occurred; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Shares on the Closing Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

10. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Shares by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 24 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 24 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Shares on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Shares that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares that remains unpurchased on the Closing Date does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

22

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares that remains unpurchased on the Closing Date exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of all the Shares, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company and the Underwriters will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof 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 or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Shares and any transfer, documentary, stamp, recording, filing or other similar taxes payable in connection with such actions; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus (including any amendments or supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of this Agreement, the Shares and the Certificate of Designations; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Shares under the state or foreign securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Canadian wrapper and Blue Sky Memorandum (including in each case the related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters; provided, however, that the Company shall not pay for any such Blue Sky fees and expenses if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Shares; (vii) the fees and expenses of any transfer agent, any registrar and any calculation agent (including related reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to each of such parties), including the preparation of the agency agreements related thereto; (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the

23

Shares for book-entry transfer by DTC and any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA (including the related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection with (a) preparing the Blue Sky Memorandum referenced in clause (v), and (b) any filings and clearance by FINRA referenced in clause (viii), shall not exceed $10,000 in the aggregate. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Agreement, the Underwriters will pay all costs and expenses incurred by them, including, without limitation, all expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors, fees and disbursements of its counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of the Shares by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers it makes. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Company shall not pay or reimburse any costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Underwriters’ default on their obligations to purchase the Shares.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Shares for delivery to the Representatives or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby; provided; however, that for purposes of this Section 10(b), the Company shall in no event be liable to the Underwriters for any other amounts, including, without limitation, damages on account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale of the Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be responsible, or obligated to reimburse the Underwriters, for any costs or expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with any “road show.” For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Company shall not pay or reimburse any costs, fees or expenses incurred by any defaulting Underwriter.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates, officers and directors of each of the Underwriters referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Shares and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.

The Company will pay dividends on the Shares when, as and if declared by the board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors). Dividends will accrue, on a non-cumulative basis, at a rate per annum on the stated amount of $1,000.00 per share equal to: (i) 6.00% from September 24, 2024 to, but excluding, December 15, 2029, and (ii) the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Shares, the “Prospectus Supplement”) as of the most recent reset dividend determination date (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) plus 2.56% for each reset period (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) from, and including, December 15, 2029, provided, that the dividend rate per annum during any reset period will not reset below 6.00% (which equals the initial dividend rate per annum on the Series D Preferred Stock), payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2024.
