1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 7, 2026, FuelCell
Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”),
relating to the previously announced underwritten offering of 10,714,286 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common
stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock” and such offering, the “Offering”).
Under the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell the Shares to the Underwriters at a price to the public of $21.00 per share. In addition,
the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,607,143 additional shares of Common Stock at the same public
offering price per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Option”), which Option was fully exercised by the Underwriters on July 8, 2026.
The Underwriting Agreement
contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company
has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those
liabilities.
The Offering was registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration Statement No. 333-296607), as previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and deemed effective immediately, a base prospectus included
as part of the registration statement, and a final prospectus supplement filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities
Act.
The Offering, including the sale of the shares constituting the Option, is expected to
close on July 9, 2026. The Company intends to use the approximately $245.4 million of net proceeds from the Offering, if completed, for
capital expenditures related to expansion of manufacturing capacity to support growth, working capital and general corporate purposes.
The foregoing summary of the
Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting
Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

of Foley & Lardner LLP relating to the validity of the issuance and sale of the Common Stock in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1

(a)
The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has prepared and filed with the SEC an automatic
shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (“Rule 405”) (the file number of which
is set forth in Schedule I hereto) on Form S-3, including a related Base Prospectus, for the registration of the offering and sale
of the Securities under the Securities Act. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution
Time, became effective upon filing. The Company may have filed with the SEC, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or
pursuant to Rule 424(b), preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to
you. The Company will file with the SEC a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b) after
the Execution Time. As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Securities Act and the rules
thereunder and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects
in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such
specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the
Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time,
meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act. The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement
was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.
2
(b) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b)
and on the Closing Date (as defined herein) and on any date on which Option Securities are purchased, if such date is not the Closing
Date (a “settlement date”), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects
with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date,
at the Execution Time and on the Closing Date, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;
and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and any settlement date, the Final Prospectus (together
with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement
or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company
by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus
(or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the
information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

to be included on the cover page of the Final Prospectus, when taken together as a whole, and (ii) each electronic road show, when taken
together as a whole with the Disclosure Package and the price to the public, the number of Underwritten Securities and the number of Option
Securities to be included on the cover page of the Final Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being
understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described
as such in Section 8 hereof.

(d) (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of
complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed
pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its
behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption
in Rule 163, and (iv) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iv)), the

fees required by the SEC relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and
otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).
(e) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a
bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) under the Securities Act and (ii) as of the Execution Time (with such date
being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined
in Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the SEC pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be
considered an Ineligible Issuer.

Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has

for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of
the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

Underwriters in the manner contemplated herein and in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, or where the failure to obtain
or make such consent, approval, authorization, filing or order would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Neither the issue and sale of the Securities nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein contemplated nor the
fulfillment of the terms hereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws or similar organizational
documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note

prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions
in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Adverse Effect”), except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure

other assessment, fine or penalty levied against it, to the extent that any of the foregoing is due and payable, except for any such tax,

Environmental Laws, or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential liabilities
to third parties). On the basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities would
not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the
Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

or extension of any amortization period; (ii) an audit or investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Department of Labor,
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other federal or state governmental agency or any foreign regulatory agency with respect

or (iii) any breach of any contractual obligation, or any violation of law or applicable qualification standards, with respect to the
employment or compensation of employees by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that could have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the
following events has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur: (i) a material increase in the aggregate amount of contributions required
to be made to all Plans in the current fiscal year of the Company and its subsidiaries compared to the amount of such contributions made
in the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) a material increase in the “accumulated post-retirement
benefit obligations” (within the meaning of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 106) of the Company and its subsidiaries
compared to the amount of such obligations in the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company and its subsidiaries; (iii) any event
or condition giving rise to a liability under Title IV of ERISA that could have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iv) the filing of a claim
by one or more employees or former employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries related to their employment that could have a Material
Adverse Effect. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Plan” means a plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of
ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA with respect to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have any liability.

notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company
of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution
or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance

occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection,
including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its commercially
reasonable best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading,
or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus

of the Final Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event, (ii) prepare and file with
the SEC, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement

of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or
decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving
a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or
contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which,
in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make
it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement
(exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
19
(g)
Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents
as the Representatives may reasonably request.
(h)
The Securities shall have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject only to official
notice of issuance, and reasonably satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Representatives.
(i)
At the Execution Time, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto from each party listed in Schedule IV hereto addressed to the Representatives.
If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6
shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere
in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters,
this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the
Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.
The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6
shall be delivered at the office of Duane Morris LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, by electronic mail or at 22 Vanderbilt, 335 Madison
Avenue, New York, New York 10017, on the Closing Date.
7.
Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated
because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination
pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein
or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters
severally through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. on demand for all expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements
of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
20
8.
Indemnification and Contribution.
(a)
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of
each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law 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 a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment
thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities,
the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval
of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities, including any “road show” (as defined
in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (“Marketing Materials”), or
in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such
indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; 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 any such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement
will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically
for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page
regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting” or “Plan of Distribution,” (ii) the
list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (iii) the sentences related to concessions
and reallowances and (iv) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary
Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for
inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials.
21
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 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 this Section 8, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability
under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results
in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying
party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above.
The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s
expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as
set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the
indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses
of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present
such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party,
(iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party
within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified
party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified
parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional
release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, 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 Section 8(a) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it 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 such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request or disputed in good faith the indemnified party’s entitlement to such reimbursement prior to the date
of such settlement.
22
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b)
or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively, “Losses”)
to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation provided
by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts
and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties
and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company
and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this paragraph (d), 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter
within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter
shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director
of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions
of this paragraph (d).
9.
Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities
agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance
of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the
respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate
amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities
which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities
set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation
to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate
without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this
Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine
in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may
be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and
any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
23
10.
Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by
notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading
in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the SEC or the Nasdaq Stock Market or trading in securities generally
on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established
on either of such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities, (iii)
there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services or (iv) there
shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other
calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical
or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
11.
Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and
other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers,
directors, employees, agents, affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
12.
Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives,
will be mailed, delivered, or telefaxed to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention:

of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City
of New York and County of New York, and waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding,
and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby appoints

herein that may be instituted in any State or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, by any Underwriter, the
directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly
accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby represents
and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the
Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment
in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service
of process upon the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted by
any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter,
in any court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware.
15.
Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a) 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.
(b) 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.

arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which
it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and (c)

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed

Agreement, other than Securities transferred or disposed of:
