      Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this <u>Section 11</u> will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying
      party or parties under this <u>Section 11</u>, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying

      and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement,
      the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly
      with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
      the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection
      with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel
      by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are
      different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the
      indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after
      receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties; <i>provided, however,</i> that the indemnifying
      party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or action or separate but substantially similar or related claims or actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and
      expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all indemnified parties or for legal fees, expenses and other charges that are not reasonable. It is understood that the indemnifying party
      or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such
      indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. Except as provided in <u>Section 11(d)</u>, an indemnifying party will not, in any event, be

      hand and the relevant Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser on the other. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as

      Contract for each Forward and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) for each Forward executed in connection with this Agreement bears to the Gross Forward Amount. The relative fault shall be determined by
      reference to, among other things, 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, on the one hand, or the Agents, Forward
      Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, on the other, and 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 Agents, the Forward Sellers and the
      Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this <u>Section 12</u> were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers 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, liability, expense, or
      damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this <u>Section 12</u> shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this <u>Section 12</u>, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
      investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 12(O hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 12</u> (i) no Agent or Forward Seller shall be required to contribute any amount in
      excess of the amount by which the commissions with respect to the offering of the Issuance Shares or the aggregate Forward Hedge Selling Commissions, as the case may be, received by it under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such
      Agent or Forward Seller has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) the Forward Purchaser shall in no event be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
      amount by which the net Spread (as such term is defined in the relevant Forward Contract and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) for all Forward Contracts entered into pursuant to this Agreement exceeds
      the amount of any damages such Forward Purchaser 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 misrepresentations (within the meaning of section
      12(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this <u>Section 12</u>, any person who controls any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser
      within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees or agents thereof, will have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, and any person who controls the
      Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each director of the Company, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions
      hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this <u>Section 12</u>, will notify any such party or
      parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this <u>Section 12</u> except to the extent
      that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of <u>Section 11(c)</u> hereof,
      no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to <u>Section 11(c)</u>. hereof.</font></p>
