Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 27, 2026, Waste Connections, Inc.

(“Waste Connections” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)

with CIBC World Markets Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc., and the several other underwriters named therein (collectively,

the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) by Waste Connections of C$300 million aggregate

principal amount of its 4.200% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”), and C$400 million aggregate principal amount of

its 4.550% Senior Notes due 2036 (together with the 2033 Notes, the “Notes”).

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations,

warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally,

the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,

as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of

those liabilities.

The Offering has been registered under the Securities

Act, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-282813), as supplemented by a prospectus

supplement, dated July 27, 2026, relating to the Notes (together with the accompanying base prospectus, dated October 24, 2024,

the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) of

the Securities Act on July 27, 2026. The Offering is being made on a private placement basis in Canada to purchasers in each province

of Canada under a Canadian offering memorandum, which includes the Prospectus Supplement.

As more fully described under the caption “Underwriting

(Conflicts of Interest)” in the Prospectus Supplement, from time to time, certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have

engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with

the Company or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In addition, certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates serve various roles under the revolving credit facility provided for under

the Company’s credit agreement, and, as a result, such Underwriters or their affiliates will indirectly

receive a portion of the proceeds of the Offering.

The summary of the Underwriting Agreement in this

report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which

is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

means any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act relating to the offering of

the Securities and the base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, and the term “Prospectus” means the

Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty

the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting

or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible

for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no

shown therein. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration

Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and is

prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification,

and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are

that would, as of the Closing Date, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities.

25

(l)             Good

Standing. The Representatives shall have received on and as of the Closing Date satisfactory evidence of the good standing of the

Company in writing or any standard form of telecommunication, from the appropriate governmental authority of such jurisdiction.

(m)           CDS.

The Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through CDS.

(n)            Indenture

and Securities. The Indenture shall have been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company and the Trustee,

and the Securities shall have been duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company and duly authenticated by

the Trustee.

(o)            Additional

Documents. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further certificates and

documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

All opinions, letters, certificates

and evidence mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they

are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters.

7.              Indemnification

and Contribution.

(a)            Indemnification

of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and

each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of

the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal

fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and

expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement

of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material

fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement

or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Preliminary

Canadian Offering Memorandum, the Canadian Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including any electronic road show,

or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to

make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar

as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement

or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing

by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

26

(b)            Indemnification

of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and

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 to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above,

but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other reasonable

expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred) that arise

out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity

with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives

expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Preliminary Canadian Offering

Memorandum, the Canadian Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including any electronic road show, or any Time of

Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following paragraphs in the Preliminary

Prospectus and the Prospectus: first paragraph in the section entitled “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Commissions

and Discounts,” “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Price Stabilization and Short Positions” and second paragraph

in the section entitled “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)—Other Relationships.”

(c)            Notice

and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be

brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above,

such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought

(the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not

relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (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 Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise

than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and

it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified

Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified

Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such

proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel

related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person 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 Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person

and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable

time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded

that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person;

or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the

Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing

interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related

proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel)

for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate

firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing

by CIBC World Markets Inc., Scotia Capital Inc. and TD Securities Inc. and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors and

officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company.

The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled

with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person

from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time

an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel

as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its

written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request

and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date

of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any

pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have

been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified

Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter

of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or

on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

27

(d)            Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in

respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu

of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person 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 Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided

by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits

referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be

in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities

and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth

in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company

on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or

prevent such statement or omission.

28

(e)            Limitation

on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7

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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid

or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above

shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified

Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter

be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such

Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person

who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7

are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f)            Non-Exclusive

Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may

otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8.              Effectiveness

of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

9.              Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution

and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially

limited on any of the Toronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities

issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general

moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. or Canadian federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there

shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within

or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable

to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time

of Sale Information, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum.

10.            Defaulting

Underwriter.

(a)            If,

on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder,

the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to

the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting

Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within

which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons

become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company

may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the

Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus

or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement,

the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter”

includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that,

pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

29

(b)            If,

after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting

Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains

unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right

to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder

plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase

hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c)            If,

after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting

Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains

unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right

described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters.

Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that

the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions

of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d)            Nothing

contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter

for damages caused by its default.

11.            Payment

of Expenses.

(a)            Whether

or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or

cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the

costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any stamp, transfer or similar taxes

payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration

Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Canadian Offering Memorandum, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of

Sale Information, the Prospectus and the Canadian Offering Memorandum (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and

the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees

and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters,

including the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment

of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution

of a Blue Sky Memorandum; (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of

the Trustee and any paying agent (including related reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses

and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory

Authority, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by CDS; (ix) all fees and expenses in respect of the filing

of the Form 45-106F1 and any levies imposed by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization; and (x) all expenses incurred

by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors.

30

(b)            If

(i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities

for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this

Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses

of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

12.            Persons

Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective

successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to herein, and the affiliates of each Underwriter referred

to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable

right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter

shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13.            Survival.

The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained

in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered

pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of

any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.

14.            Certain

Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate”

has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day

other than a day on which commercial banks are not open for business in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and (c) the term “subsidiary”

has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

15.            Compliance

with USA Patriot Act. 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, 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.

31

(c)            Governing

Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed

in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, but without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

(d)           Submission

to Jurisdiction. The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York 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 waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in

such courts. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive

and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such

judgment. The Company irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company, located at 80 State Street, Albany, New York 12207-2543, as its

authorized agent in the state of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of

process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to the Company by the person serving the same to the address provided

in this Section 16, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding.

The Company hereby represents and warrants that such authorized agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as such authorized

agent for service of process. The Company further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation

and appointment of such authorized agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

(e)            Waiver

of Immunity. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from jurisdiction

of any court of (i) Canada, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) the United States or the State of New York, (iii) any

jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or assets or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior

to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, set-off or otherwise) with respect to themselves or their respective property

and assets or this Agreement, the Company hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement

to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

32

(f)            Waiver

of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating

to this Agreement.

(g)            Judgment

such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any loss

incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment

or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result

of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for

the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S. dollars

with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate

and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of,

or conversion into, the relevant currency.

(h)           Counterparts.

This Agreement may be signed in counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each

of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “executed,”

“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating

to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries

or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually

executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto

consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

(i)             Amendments

or Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent or approval to any departure therefrom, shall

in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

(j)             Headings.

The headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation

of, this Agreement.

(k)            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 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.
