	(j)	the reasonable fees and expenses of the Corporation's transfer agent and registrar, as well as out-of-pocket costs.
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case that the transactions contemplated herein are not completed the Corporation shall only pay the out-of-pocket accountable expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriters. The Underwriters' Expenses will be payable by the Corporation at the Time of Closing on the Closing Date (and, if applicable, on each Over-Allotment Closing Date) or upon receipt by the Corporation of a detailed invoice from the Underwriters.
2.2	By deleting in its entirety the text in Section 13.5 and substituting the following text:
