Each Selling Stockholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to sell to the Underwriters its Apportioned Share (as defined below) of the Optional Securities specified in such notice or notices and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional Securities.

No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Underwriters to the Selling Stockholders. “Apportioned Share” with respect to a given Selling Stockholder means: (a) 505,428/900,000 for Greenlight Capital Offshore Partners, Ltd.; (b) 307,957/900,000 for Greenlight Capital Offshore Master, Ltd.; and 86,615/900,000 for Solasglas Investments, LP.

(h) Tax Forms. Each Selling Stockholder shall have delivered to the Underwriters prior to or on such Closing Date properly completed and executed United States Treasury Department Forms W-8 or W-9 (or other applicable forms or statements specified by Treasury Department regulations in lieu thereof), as applicable. (i) FinCEN Certificate. On or before the date of this Agreement, the Underwriters shall have received a certificate satisfying the beneficial ownership due diligence requirements of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) from each Selling Stockholder that is a legal entity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, along with such additional supporting documentation as the Underwriters have requested in connection with the verification of the foregoing certificate. The Company and each Selling Stockholder will furnish the Underwriters with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Underwriters reasonably request. The Underwriters may in their sole discretion waive compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder, whether in respect of an Optional Closing Date or otherwise. 8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Indemnification of Underwriters by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the General Disclosure Package at any time, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(c) below. (b) Indemnification of Underwriters by the Selling Stockholders. Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, in proportion to the number of Offered Securities to be sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder, will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state

18 [[5558991]] statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the General Disclosure Package at any time, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein 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 reliance upon and in conformity with such Selling Stockholder’s Selling Stockholder Information, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the aggregate liability of each Selling Stockholder under this Section 8(b) and Section 8(e) below shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before expenses, to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder. (c) Indemnification of Company and the Selling Stockholders. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each of the Selling Stockholders (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the General Disclosure Package at any time or the Final Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the concession figures appearing in the fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” and the information contained in the tenth paragraph (related to stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making) and eleventh paragraph (related to electronic prospectus distribution) under the caption “Underwriting”. (d) Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c) 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 party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that in any such action,

19 [[5558991]] any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) included both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (and in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such proceeding); provided further that, with respect to each action or proceeding for which indemnification is sought under this Section, the indemnifying party shall only be required to pay the fees and expenses of one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with such action or proceeding and, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and special counsel for each relevant specialty. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any such action or claim effected without its consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated herein effected without its written consent if (x) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (y) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (z) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. (e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities 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 and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities 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 shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement 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, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate liability of a Selling Stockholder under subsection (b) above and this subsection (e) exceed the limit set forth in subsection (b). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 8(e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(e).

20 [[5558991]] (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party or Underwriter Indemnified Party at law or in equity. (g) The provisions contained in this Section 8 shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling Stockholders with respect to indemnification or contribution. 9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First Closing Date or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the Underwriters may make arrangements satisfactory to the Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters and Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non- defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except as provided in Section 10 hereof (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default. 10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers, the Selling Stockholders or their authorized signatories and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company, the Selling Stockholders or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. 11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, (a) if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Underwriters at each of the following addresses: (i) Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate Registration (Fax: (646) 834-8133); and (ii) Goldman Sachs & Co.

Hurwitz.

21 [[5558991]] 12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons and other indemnified persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 13. Reserved. 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of this Agreement by one party to any other party may be made by facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time) or other transmission method, and the parties hereto agree that any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. 15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that: (a) No Other Relationship. The Underwriters have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of Offered Securities and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company or such Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the Underwriters have advised or are advising the Company or such Selling Stockholder on other matters; (b) Arms’ Length Negotiations. The price of the Offered Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company and the Selling Stockholders following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Underwriters and the Company and such Selling Stockholder is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (c) Absence of Obligation to Disclose. The Company and such Selling Stockholder have been advised that the Underwriters and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and such Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company or such Selling Stockholder by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and (d) Waiver. Each of the Company and such Selling Stockholder waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Underwriters for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Underwriters shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or such Selling Stockholder in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company or such Selling Stockholder, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company or such Selling Stockholder. 16. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The Company and each Selling Stockholder hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and each Selling Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Foreign Selling Stockholder irrevocably appoints Greenlight Capital, Inc. at the address above as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Foreign Selling Stockholder represents and

22 [[5558991]] warrants that such agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as such agent for service of process or other legal summons. To the extent that any Foreign Selling Stockholder has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, such Foreign Selling Stockholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in the City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Foreign Selling Stockholder with respect to any sum due from them to any Underwriter or any other Indemnified Person, as applicable, shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or such other person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or other person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or other person hereunder, such Foreign Selling Stockholder agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or other person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or other person hereunder, such Underwriter or other person agrees to pay to such Foreign Selling Stockholder an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter or other person hereunder. All sums payable by a Foreign Selling Stockholder to an Underwriter or any other Indemnified Person under this Agreement shall be paid free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes or duties, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which case the payor shall pay such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the payee of the full amount that would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 17. Patriot Act. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge that, in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Stockholders, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients. 18. Regulation BI. Each Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide such Selling Stockholder with certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the offering and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to such Selling Stockholder to participate in the offering and the other transactions contemplated hereby or to sell any Offered Securities at the purchase price, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that the Underwriters are making such a recommendation. 19. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter 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. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights

23 [[5558991]] 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 following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

To our knowledge, the Membership Interests are owned by such entities free of any liens or encumbrances. 4. The Company (a) has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, (b) has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and (c) has duly executed and delivered the Underwriting Agreement. 5.

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. 7.

[[5558991]] EXHIBIT A-1 to the Underwriting Agreement granted under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or under the corporate laws of the State of Delaware. 8. The Offered Securities conform in all material respects as to legal matters to the descriptions thereof contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Capital Stock”. 9. The Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act on December 4, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), and the preliminary prospectus supplement was filed on January [ ], 2021 and the final prospectus supplement was filed on January [ ], 2021, each pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission and, based solely on our review of the “Stop Orders” page on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml on the date hereof, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, or proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened, by the Commission. 10. Any required filing of the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule. 11. The Registration Statement, on the Effective Date, and the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, each when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the date hereof, appeared appropriately responsive in all material respects with the requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and the documents incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus when filed with the Commission complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no opinion with respect to the financial statements, related schedules and notes, and other financial and accounting data and statistical data derived from such financial data, included therein or derived therefrom, information about disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting included in, incorporated by reference to, or omitted from, the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or the description of the Underwriting Agreement contained in the Prospectus. In passing upon the compliance as to form of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and such documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, we have assumed that the statements made therein are correct and complete and express no view on the anti-fraud provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under such provisions. 12. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or Prospectus, the Company is not a party to any registration rights agreement that grants any person rights to have any securities registered for sale under the Registration Statement or included in the Offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. 13. The Company is not required to be registered as an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an entity required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. * * * In addition to the foregoing opinions, we advise you supplementally that lawyers currently with Greenberg Traurig, P.A. have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than as specified in paragraph 8 above), and have not made any independent check or verification thereof, on the basis of the information we gained during the course of performing the services referred to above, we advise you that nothing has come to the attention of those lawyers currently with Greenberg Traurig, P.A. who have actively participated in representing the Company (after consultation with such other attorneys as they deem

[[5558991]] EXHIBIT A-1 to the Underwriting Agreement appropriate) that causes us to believe that (a) the Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) as of the Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except as to the financial statements, related notes and schedules, and other financial and accounting data and statistical data derived from such financial data, included therein or derived therefrom, and information about disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and the description of the Underwriting Agreement, as to which we express no opinion), or (b) the General Disclosure Package (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) as of its date and the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except as to the financial statements, related notes and schedules, and other financial and accounting data and statistical data derived from such financial data, included therein or derived therefrom, information about disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and the description of the Underwriting Agreement, as to which we express no opinion).

No consent, approval, authorization or order of or filing, qualification or registration with any court or any federal or New York governmental agency or body is required to be obtained or made by the Selling Stockholders in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by any Selling Stockholder or the consummation by any Selling Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or the offer, issue or sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, except such as may have been obtained under the Securities Act and such as may be required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws. 16. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by each Selling Stockholder and performance by the Selling Stockholders of their obligations set forth in the Underwriting Agreement will not (a) result in a violation of any U.S. federal or New York state law, rule or regulation, or (b) to our knowledge, result in a violation of any decree, judgment or order of any U.S. or state court to which the Selling Stockholder is a named party, except that we express no opinion in this paragraph regarding any federal securities laws or any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and we note that enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws or principles of public policy. 17. Assuming that the Underwriters do not have notice of an adverse claim (within the meaning of §8- 105 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”)) to the Shares and that each Underwriter has made payment to the Selling Stockholders for the applicable Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, upon the registration of the Shares in the name of such Underwriter on the Company’s share registry in accordance with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law, the Underwriters will acquire a security entitlement in respect of such Shares and will be protected purchasers (within the meaning of §8- 303(a) of the UCC) of the Shares, free of any adverse claim.

Where the Document contains a provision pursuant to which each of the Companies agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts specified therein, the Company has executed an effective submission to the jurisdiction of such courts. 17.

Based solely upon our review of the Partnership Records (as defined in Schedule 1) the general partner of the Partnership is the Company. 3. The Company is registered as a foreign company and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the "Registrar"). 4. Assuming the same to be so as a matter of the laws of the US State of New York, the US State of Delaware and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands): when the Document has been duly executed and delivered by the Investment Advisor as investment advisor of the Partnership, the Document will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Partnership enforceable in accordance with its terms. 5. The execution, delivery and performance of the Document by the Investment Advisor, on its own account or as investment advisor of the Partnership (as the case may be) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Investment Advisor and the Partnership with the terms and provisions thereof do not: a. contravene any law, or public rule or regulation of the Cayman Islands applicable to the Investment Advisor or the Partnership which is currently in force; or b. contravene the Partnership Agreement. 6. Neither: a. the execution, delivery or performance of the Document; nor b. the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Partnership, requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of any Cayman Islands governmental or judicial authority or agency. 7. The law chosen in the Document to govern its interpretation would be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action on the Document in the courts of the Cayman Islands (the "Courts" and each a "Court"). 8. Save as set out in qualification 2 in Schedule 3, there are no stamp duties, income taxes, withholdings, levies, registration taxes, or other duties or similar taxes or charges now imposed, or which under the present laws of the Cayman Islands could in the future become imposed, in connection with the enforcement or admissibility in evidence of the Document or on any payment to be made by the Partnership or any other person pursuant to the Document.

[[5558991]] EXHIBIT A-4 to the Underwriting Agreement 10. A judgment obtained in a foreign court (other than certain judgments of a superior court of any state of the Commonwealth of Australia) will be recognised and enforced in the Courts without any re- examination of the merits at common law, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the "Grand Court"), where the judgment: a. is final and conclusive; b. is one in respect of which the foreign court had jurisdiction over the defendant according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules; c. is either for a liquidated sum not in respect of penalties or taxes or a fine or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances, for in personam non-money relief (following Bandone Sdn Bhd v Sol Properties Inc. [2008] CILR 301); and d. was neither obtained in a manner, nor is of a kind enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. 11. It is not necessary under the laws of the Cayman Islands that the Document be registered or recorded in any public office or elsewhere in the Cayman Islands in order to ensure the validity or enforceability of the Document. 12. It is not necessary under the laws of the Cayman Islands: a. in order to enable any party to the Document to enforce their rights under the Document; or b. solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Document, that any party to the Document should be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands or any other political subdivision thereof. 13. To the extent that the Document contains a provision pursuant to which the Partnership agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts specified therein, assuming the same to be so as a matter of the laws of the US State of New York and US State of Delaware, the Partnership has executed an effective submission to the jurisdiction of such courts in such capacities. 14. Neither the Partnership nor any of its assets are entitled to immunity from suit or enforcement of a judgment on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise in the Courts in proceedings against the Partnership in respect of any obligations under the Document which constitute commercial transactions and are not an exercise of sovereign authority. 15. Based solely upon our examination of the Court Register (as defined in Schedule 1) we confirm that at the Search Time (as defined in Schedule 1) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against the Partnership before the Grand Court and no steps have been, or are being, taken compulsorily to wind up the Partnership.
