2.    Sale of Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, (x) the Company and the Managers agree that the Company may from time to time issue and sell Shares through the applicable Manager, acting as sales agent (any such sale, a “Direct Sale”) or (y) the Company may from time to time, in consultation with the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers, instruct Forward Hedge Shares to be sold through the applicable Manager, acting as a forward seller (any such sale, a “Forward Sale”).

(a)    If the Company wishes that a Manager or a Forward Seller, as applicable, sell Shares, then it shall instruct such Manager or such Forward Seller, as applicable, by email (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions) to sell such Shares on any Trading Day (as defined below) using a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Confirmation”). Such Transaction Confirmation shall also (i) specify whether such Shares will be sold through the applicable Manager, acting as sales agent in a Direct Sale, or through the applicable Forward Seller in connection with a Forward Sale and (ii) if such Transaction Confirmation specifies that it relates to a Forward Sale, be accompanied by a duly executed Supplemental Confirmation, with terms corresponding to such Forward Sale. If such Manager, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, as applicable, wishes to accept the proposed terms included in the Transaction Confirmation and, if applicable, Supplemental Confirmation (which they may decline to do for any reason in their sole discretion) or, following discussion with the Company, wishes to accept amended terms, then such Manager, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, as applicable, will issue to the Company a notice by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereto) setting forth the terms that such Manager or such Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, as applicable, is willing to accept. Where the terms provided in the Transaction Confirmation and, if applicable, Supplemental Confirmation, are amended as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence, such terms will not be binding on the Company, such Manager or such Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, as applicable, until the Company confirms its acceptance of all of the terms of such Transaction Confirmation, as amended, by email or telephone, with confirmation to be provided promptly thereafter by email (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties hereto),
9


along with, to the extent necessary, a duly executed amended Supplemental Confirmation with terms corresponding to such amended Transaction Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the applicable Manager and/or Forward Seller may elect that, with respect to any Direct Sale or Forward Sale, such Manager and/or Forward Seller shall deliver the applicable Transaction Confirmation and, if applicable, Supplemental Confirmation, to the Company, which may acknowledge and agree to such Transaction Confirmation and, if applicable, Supplemental Confirmation, in writing. No Transaction Confirmation may be delivered if an ex-dividend date or ex-date, as applicable for any dividend or distribution payable by the Company on the Common Stock, is scheduled to occur during the period from, and including, the first scheduled Trading Day of the related Forward Hedge Selling Period (as defined in the Transaction Confirmation) to, and including, the last scheduled Trading Day of such Forward Hedge Selling Period. No selling period for the Shares may overlap in whole or in part with any “Unwind Period” (as defined in the Transaction Confirmation) under any Confirmation. As used herein, “Trading Day” shall mean any trading day on the Exchange, other than a day on which the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its regular closing time. The Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy, or any sales of Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be effected by or through only one Manager or one Forward Seller, as applicable, on any single day, but in no event by more than one Manager or Forward Seller, and the Company shall in no event request that more than one Manager or Forward Seller, as applicable, sell Shares on the same day.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and, with respect to a Forward Sale, the applicable Confirmation, the applicable Manager or Forward Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to execute any Company order submitted to it hereunder to sell Shares with respect to which such Manager has agreed to act as sales agent, if a Direct Sale, or as the Forward Seller, if a Forward Sale, respectively. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Managers or the Forward Sellers, as applicable, will be successful in selling the Shares; (ii) the Managers or the
Forward Sellers, as applicable, will incur no liability or obligation to the Company, the Forward Purchasers or any other person or entity if it does not sell Shares for any reason and (iii) the Managers or the Forward Sellers, as applicable, shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Company shall not authorize the issuance or sale of, and the applicable Manager or Forward Seller shall not sell, any Share at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Agreement. In addition, the Company or the applicable Manager or Forward Seller may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by email), suspend an offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice. Under no circumstances shall the aggregate offering price of Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Maximum Program Amount.

(d) The applicable Manager or Forward Seller shall provide written confirmation (which may be by email) to the Company following the close of trading on the Exchange each day in which Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth (i) the amount of Shares sold on such day, (ii) the price or prices at which such Shares were sold on such day, (iii) the gross offering proceeds received from such sale, (iv) the aggregate Net Proceeds (as defined below) to the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, and (v) the commission payable by the Company to the applicable Manager or Forward Seller with respect to such sales, which shall be set forth and invoiced in periodic statements from the Manager to the Company, with payment to be made by the Company promptly after its receipt thereof.

(e) At each Time of Sale, Settlement Date and Representation Date (as defined below), the Company shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement. Any obligation of the applicable Manager or Forward Seller to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares on behalf of the Company as sales agent or the Forward Seller, as applicable, 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) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company, the Managers and the Forward Sellers agree that no sales of Shares shall take place, the Company shall not request the sales of
10


any Shares that would be sold, the Managers and the Forward Sellers shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell Shares, and the Company shall not request the amendment of any Transaction Confirmation and, if applicable, any Supplemental Confirmation, during (i) the period beginning on the first business day after the end of each calendar quarter through and including the end of the first business day following the date on which the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the applicable fiscal periods to which such report relates or (ii) any other period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that, in the applicable Forward Purchaser’s commercially reasonable judgement, it (or its affiliates) (i) is unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to borrow and deliver for sale the full number of Forward Hedge Shares to be borrowed and sold pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) would incur a stock loan cost that is more than the rate set forth in the applicable Supplemental Confirmation, then such Forward Seller shall be required to sell on behalf of the applicable Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) only the aggregate number of Forward Hedge Shares that such Forward Purchaser (or its affiliate) is able to so borrow below such cost.

3.    Fee.

(a) (i) The compensation to the applicable Manager for sales of the Shares with respect to which such Manager acts as sales agent hereunder shall be an amount not to exceed 1.250% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the compensation payable to the applicable Forward Seller for sales of Forward Hedge Shares shall be an amount, reflected as a reduction to the “Initial Forward Price” payable by the relevant Forward Purchaser under the applicable Confirmation, not
to exceed 1.250% of the volume weighted average of the sales prices of all Forward Hedge Shares sold during the applicable period by such Forward Seller, unless the parties otherwise agree. The remaining proceeds shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company or the Forward Purchaser, as applicable, for such sales (the “Net Proceeds”).
4.    Payment, Delivery and Other Obligations. Settlement for sales of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the first Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made.

(a) On each date of settlement of any Direct Sale (each such day, a “Direct Settlement Date”), the Primary Shares sold through the applicable Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Company to such Manager against payment by such Manager of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Primary Shares. Settlement for all such Primary Shares shall be effected by free delivery of the Primary Shares by the Company or its transfer agent to such Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided that the applicable Manager shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, in return for payment in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Company. If the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Primary Shares on any Direct Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) hold the applicable 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 and (ii) pay the applicable Manager any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(b) On each date of settlement for any Forward Sale (each such day, a “Forward Settlement Date”), the Forward Hedge Shares shall be delivered by the applicable Forward Purchaser (or its affiliates) to the applicable Forward Seller in book-entry form to such Forward Seller’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by such Forward Seller of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Forward Hedge Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the applicable Forward Purchaser (or its affiliates), or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant parties hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Settlement Date” shall include any Direct Settlement Date and any Forward Settlement Date.

(r) The obligations of any party contained in Sections 6(m), 6(n), 6(o), and 6(q) may be satisfied by delivery on an alternative date, which certificates, opinions, and letters may be dated as of such alternative date; provided, that such alternative date is mutually agreed upon in writing (e-mail being sufficient) by the Company and the Managers and the Forward Purchasers, if applicable; and provided further, that none of the Managers or the Forward Sellers shall be obligated to sell Shares pursuant to any Transaction Confirmation or Supplemental Transaction Confirmation until such certificates, opinions, and letters set forth in Sections 6(m), 6(n), 6(o), and 6(q) are delivered.

(s) The obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the documents referred to in Sections 6(m), 6(n), 6(o), and 6(q) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Transaction Confirmation by the Company to any Manager to sell Shares under this Agreement is in effect, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Transaction Confirmation to any Manager to sell Shares pursuant to Section 2 hereof (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date for which no such waiver is made; provided, that the Company will provide written notice (e-mail being sufficient) at least three (3) business days prior to the Managers and the Forward Sellers of its intention to deliver a Transaction Confirmation while such waiver is in place; provided further, however, that the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to deliver or cause to be delivered the documents referred to in Sections 6(m), 6(n), 6(o), and 6(q) and thereby satisfy its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that no Transaction Confirmation by the Company to the Managers to sell Shares under this Agreement is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not deliver or cause to be delivered the documents referred to in Sections 6(m), 6(n), 6(o), and 6(q), then before the Company delivers a Transaction Confirmation pursuant to Section 2 or any Manager sells any Shares, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered documents of the same tenor as those referred to in Sections 5(b), 5(c), 5(d), and 5(e) of this Agreement.

(t) To promptly reply to due diligence inquiries from the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers and their respective representatives, including, without limitation, furnishing requested materials and making senior management and representatives of the Company’s registered independent accounting firm available for due diligence conference calls, upon the reasonable request of the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers.

(u) That it consents to the Managers or the Forward Sellers trading in the Common Stock for the Managers’ or the Forward Sellers’ own account and for the account of their respective clients at the same time as sales of the Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement.

(v) That each acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase the Shares hereunder shall be deemed to be an affirmation to the Managers or the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, as applicable, that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such acceptance as though made at and as of such date, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of the Time of Sale and the Settlement Date for the Shares relating to such acceptance as though made at and as of each of such dates (except that (i) such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented relating to such Shares and (ii) to the extent that such representations and warranties speak as of another date, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such other date).

(w) Prior to instructing the applicable Manager or Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement to make sales on any given day (or as otherwise agreed between the Company and such Manager or the Forward Seller), an authorized officer of the Company shall have approved the minimum
17

LLC dated as of November 7, 2023 and that certain Additional Forward Sale Agreement between IDACORP, Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC dated as of November 8, 2023, during the Delivery Period, without (A) giving the Managers or the Forward Sellers at least three business days’ prior written notice specifying the nature of the proposed sale and the date of such proposed sale and (B) the Managers or the Forward Sellers suspending activity under this program for such period of time as requested by the Company.

7.    Covenants of the Managers and the Forward Sellers. The Managers and the Forward Sellers covenant with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Managers or the Forward Sellers that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Managers or the Forward Sellers.

8.    Indemnity and Contribution. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, agents and affiliates, and each person, if any, who controls the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against (i) any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the General Disclosure Package, any free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided, that (subject to Section 8(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing for or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii) above, provided, however, that clauses (i) through (ii) above shall not apply insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon the Manager Information.

18


(a) Each of the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions based upon the Manager Information.

(b) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) of this Agreement, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing (but failure to so notify an indemnifying party as provided in this Section 8(b) shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to the Managers and the other indemnified parties referred to in 8(a) shall be selected by the Managers and counsel to the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement 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 shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Managers and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 8(a) above and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement 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, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim 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 any indemnified party.

(c) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, then such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Sections 8(a) or 8(b) hereof effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) 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 (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) of this Agreement is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party 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 each of Company, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 8(d)(i) of this Agreement is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(d)(i) of this Agreement but also the relative fault of each of the Company, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers 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 each of the Company, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers in connection with the offering of the Shares pursuant to this
19


Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (i) in the case of the Company, (x) the net proceeds from the offering of the Primary Shares (before deducting expenses, if applicable) received by the Company, or (y) with respect to a Forward Sale, the proceeds that would be received by the Company upon physical settlement of each applicable Confirmation assuming that the aggregate amount payable by the Forward Purchasers under such Confirmation is equal to the aggregate amount of the net proceeds realized upon the sale of the Forward Hedge Shares with respect to such Forward Sale, (ii) in the case of the Managers, the total commissions received by the Managers in respect of the Primary Shares, (iii) in the case of the Forward Seller, the total commissions received by the Forward Sellers in respect of the Forward Hedge Shares, and (iv) in the case of the Forward Purchasers, the Spread (as defined in the applicable Confirmation and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) retained by the Forward Purchasers under such Confirmation; provided, however, (i) that no Manager 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 Shares received by it under this Agreement exceed the amount of any damages that such Manager 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) that no Forward Purchaser shall in any event be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the accumulated value of the net Spread (as defined in the related Confirmation) for all Confirmations 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. The relative fault of each of the Company, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers 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 each such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission

(e) Each of the Company, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agrees that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Managers 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 Section 8(d) of this Agreement. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of (i) the total compensation received by the Managers in connection with the sale of Shares on behalf of the Company, (ii) the total compensation received by the Forward Sellers in connection with the sale of Shares on behalf of the Forward Purchasers and (iii) the Spread (as defined in the applicable Confirmation and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs or expenses actually incurred) retained by the Forward Purchasers pursuant to the relevant Confirmation(s). 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 remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Managers, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers, any person controlling the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers or any affiliate of the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

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

10.    Termination.

20

(e) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until and unless terminated pursuant to Section 10(a), Section 10(b) or Section 10(d) of this Agreement or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, that any such termination by mutual agreement or pursuant to this clause (e) shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 1 and Section 8 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
(f) Subject to Section 10(d), any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the applicable Manager, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement.

11.    Entire Agreement.
(a) This Agreement represents the entire agreement among the Company, the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers with respect to the preparation of any Registration Statement, Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering and the sale and distribution of the Shares.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers have acted and will act at arm’s length and neither is an agent of, or owes any fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any Confirmations and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) none of the activities of the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers with respect to any entity or natural person, and (iv) the Managers, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may each have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Managers, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale and distribution of the Shares.

21


12.    Trial by Jury. Each of the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates), and the Managers, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity. Each of the Company and the Managers, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and County of New York in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to or based upon this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

14.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, email, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
