Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, none of the Company or its Subsidiaries has received from any governmental or regulatory authorities any notice of any condemnation of, or zoning change affecting, the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Company knows of no such condemnation or zoning change which is threatened, in each case except for such that would not reasonably be expected to interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have such consents, easements, rights of way or licenses from any person (collectively, “rights-of-way”) as are necessary to enable the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to conduct its business in the manner described in the General Disclosure Package, subject to such qualifications as may be set forth in the General Disclosure Package, and except for such rights-of-way the lack of which would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to be granted in the future in the ordinary course of business.

(cc) Environmental Laws. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, regulations, decisions and orders relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as described in the General Disclosure Package, other than permits expected to be granted in the future in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise described in the General Disclosure Package; and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except, in the case of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, for any such failure to comply or failure to receive required permits, licenses, other approvals or liability as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(dd) Internal and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain systems of internal accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Prospectus) (it being understood that as of the date of this Agreement, the Company has not completed its assessment of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016).

Since the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included in the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that is required to be disclosed in the documents incorporated by reference into the General Disclosure Package and the Registration Statement that is not so disclosed. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(mm) Forward-Looking Statements. No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) (a “Forward-Looking Statement”) contained in the General Disclosure Package has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith. The Forward-Looking Statements incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended were made by the Company with a reasonable basis and in good faith and reflect the Company’s good faith commercially reasonable best estimate of the matters described therein.

(pp) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries carry, or are covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company and each of its Subsidiaries reasonably believe are adequate for the conduct of their properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses of comparable size in similar industries.

3. Sale and Delivery of the Shares. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and the Manager agree that the Company may from time to time seek to sell Shares through the Manager, acting as sales agent, as follows:

(a) Placement Notice. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it shall notify the Manager by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the Company and the Manager) of the number of Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule B. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals of the Company set forth on Schedule C hereto (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from the Manager set forth on Schedule C hereto, as such Schedule C may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective unless and until (i) the Manager declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Shares thereunder have been sold, (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, suspends or terminates the Placement Notice or (iv) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 14. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Manager will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Manager and the Manager does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control. A Placement Notice shall not set forth a number of Shares that, when added to the aggregate number of Shares previously purchased and to be purchased pursuant to pending Placement Notices (if any) hereunder, results in an aggregate offering price exceeding the Maximum Amount.

(b) Sale of Shares by the Manager. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Manager’s acceptance of the terms of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Manager, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Manager will be successful in selling the Shares and (ii) the Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Manager to use its reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Shares as required under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, the Manager may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Act, including without limitation sales made directly on

15

the NASDAQ, on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. Subject to the terms of a Placement Notice, the Manager may also sell Shares by any other method permitted by law, it being understood that no sale may be made in a privately negotiated transaction without the prior consent of the Company. As used herein, “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ.

(c) Written Confirmation Regarding Sale of Shares. The Manager shall provide written confirmation to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Company to the Manager pursuant to Section 3(h) with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Manager (as set forth in Section 3(e)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales.

(d) Suspension of Sales. The Company or the Manager may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule C hereto, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply, which acknowledgement shall be provided promptly) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule C hereto), suspend any sale of Shares (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that such Suspension shall not affect or impair any party’s obligations with respect to any Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. While a Suspension is in effect, any obligation under Sections 4(k), 4(l), 4(m), and 4(n) with respect to the delivery of certificates, opinions, or comfort letters to the Manager shall be waived; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply for the Representation Date occurring on the date that the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no such notice under this Section 3 shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule C hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time. If either party hereto has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, it shall promptly notify the other party, and sales of Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(e) Settlement of Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Shares shall occur on the third (3rd) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The Manager shall notify the Company of each sale of Shares on the date of such sale. The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of the Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price received by the Manager, after deduction for (i) the Manager’s commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 3(h), and (ii) any transaction fees imposed by the Commission or any other governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales. At each Applicable Time, on each Settlement Date, and at each Representation Date, the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation, warranty, covenant and other agreement contained in this Agreement. Any obligation of the Manager to use its reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 of this Agreement.

(f) Delivery of Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares being sold by crediting the

16

Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided the Manager shall have given the Company written notice of such designee at least one Trading Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement Date, the Manager shall deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 6(a), it will (i) hold the Manager harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay to the Manager any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

(g) Denominations; Registration. Certificates for the Shares, if any, shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Manager may request in writing at least one full business day before the relevant Settlement Date. The certificates for the Shares, if any, will be made available by the Company for examination and packaging by the Manager in The City of New York not later than noon (New York time) on the business day prior to the Settlement Date.

(h) Compensation of the Manager. The compensation to the Manager for sales of the Shares shall be equal to 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement, which amount shall be netted out of the proceeds to be delivered to the Company as set forth in Section 3(e) above.

4. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Manager that:

(a) Filing of Amendments; Response to Commission Requests. The Company will promptly advise the Manager of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or any Prospectus at any time and will offer the Manager a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement and will advise the Manager of the filing of any such amendment or supplement, in each case other than amendments or supplements made through the incorporation by reference of reports on Forms 10-Q or 10-K or reports on Form 8-K that do not contain disclosure relating to this Agreement. The Company will promptly advise the Manager of (i) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to the Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Prospectus or for any additional information, (ii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be) required to be delivered under the Act by any underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify the Manager of such event and promptly notify the Manager to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Shares and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, the Manager shall suspend its solicitation of purchases of the Shares and shall cease using the Prospectus; and if the

17

Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, it will promptly advise the Manager by telephone (with confirmation in writing), will promptly prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will advise the Manager when the Manager is free to resume such solicitation. Neither the Manager’s consent to, nor the Manager’s delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof. The Company, during the period when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Act (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule), will file promptly all documents required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Prospectus Supplement.

(c) Rule 158. As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

(d) Furnishing of Prospectuses. Upon the request of the Manager, the Company will furnish to the Manager copies of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits, and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Manager reasonably requests. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Manager all such documents.

(e) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager may reasonably designate and will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(f) Reporting Requirements. During the period of three years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Manager, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to stockholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Manager (i) as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (ii) from time to time, such other information concerning the Company as the Manager may reasonably request. However, so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”), it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the Manager.

(g) Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to (i) any filing fees and other expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Manager) incurred in connection with qualification of the Shares under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager reasonably designates and the preparation and printing of memoranda relating thereto, (ii) fees and expenses incident to listing the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT, NASDAQ Stock Market and other national and foreign exchanges, (iii) fees and expenses in connection with the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act, (iv) expenses incurred in distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Manager and for expenses incurred for preparing, printing and

18

distributing any Permitted Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses to investors or prospective investors and (v) the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company and the Company’s former and current independent registered public accounting firms. Notwithstanding the above, from March 15, 2017 through the termination of the Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Manager up to $15,000 on a quarterly basis for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of a single counsel to the Manager) incurred by it in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement or, during the term of this Agreement, a public offering of Common Stock under an underwriting or other agreement; provided, however, such reimbursement shall not exceed $50,000 in total. If, prior to the one year anniversary of the date of this Agreement, Shares with an aggregate offering price of $50,000,000 have been offered and sold under this Agreement or an underwriting agreement or similar agreement with respect to a public offering of Common Stock led by the Manager, then the Manager shall refund the Company all expense reimbursements paid pursuant to the preceding sentence. It is understood and agreed that in the event the Company and the Manager enter into an underwriting or similar agreement with respect to a public offering of Common Stock during the term of this Agreement, the Company will not be obligated to reimburse any additional expenses of the Manager under such other agreement or in connection with such offering except as expressly set forth in such agreement.

(h) Use of Proceeds.

The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Manager 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 Prospectus or any Permitted 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 to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, 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 in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Manager specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Manager consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. The Manager will 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 (each, a “Manager Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Manager 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 Prospectus or any Permitted Issuer Free Writing 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 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 the Manager specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Manager Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding (whether or not such Manager 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 the Manager consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of the Manager: the first sentence of the fifth paragraph under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement.

(c) 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) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (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 party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party other than under subsection (a) or (b) 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

23

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 Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) 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) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Manager on the other from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Manager 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 on the one hand and the Manager 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 bear to the total commissions received by the Manager. The relative fault 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 the Manager 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 (d) shall be deemed to include any 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 (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Manager shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Manager 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Company and the Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d).

7. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Manager 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 the Manager, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
