LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), in its capacity as agent for the Forward Purchaser (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Forward Seller”), at the request of the Company in connection with the Forward Sale Agreement (as defined below), confirm their respective agreements with the Underwriters named in Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) and Morgan Stanley are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), and the Forward Purchaser, with respect to (i) subject to Section 18 hereof, the sale by Morgan Stanley, and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the number of shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) set forth opposite their respective names under the heading “Number of Borrowed Firm Securities to be Purchased from Morgan Stanley” on Exhibit A hereto (the “Borrowed Firm Securities”) and (ii) the grant by the Forward Seller or the Company, as applicable, to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the option (the “Option”) described in Section 2(a)(iii) hereof to purchase from time to time all or any part of 420,258 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Option Securities”) (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to certain conditions set forth herein). Any shares of Common Stock sold to the Underwriters by the Forward Seller pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) hereof upon exercise of the Option are referred to herein as the “Borrowed Option Securities” and any shares of Common Stock sold to the Underwriters by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a)(iv) hereof upon exercise of the Option are referred to as the “Company Option Securities.” The Borrowed Firm Securities and the Company Top-Up Firm Securities (as defined in Section 18 hereof) are referred to herein collectively as the “Firm Securities.” The Company Top-Up Firm Securities, the Company Option Securities and the Company Top-Up Option Securities are referred to herein collectively as the “Company Securities.” The Borrowed Firm Securities and the Borrowed Option Securities are referred to herein collectively as the “Borrowed Securities.” The Borrowed Securities and the Option Securities are referred to herein collectively as the “Securities.” To the extent there are no additional Representatives other than you, the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Certain terms used in this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) are defined in Section 16 hereof.

As used herein, the term “Forward Sale Agreement” refers to the letter agreement dated the date hereof between the Company and Morgan Stanley in its capacity as a forward purchaser (in such capacity, the “Forward Purchaser”), relating to the forward sale by the Company to the Forward Purchaser, subject to the Company’s right to elect Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement (as such terms are defined in the Forward Sale Agreement), of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Borrowed Firm Securities sold by its affiliated Forward Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time, as of the Closing Date referred to in Section 2(c) hereof, and as of each Option Closing Date (if any) referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

(i) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and for use of automatic shelf registration statements (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) on Form S-3. The Company has filed with the Commission, not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof, an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264984), including a prospectus, relating to certain securities to be issued from time to time by the Company, including the Securities, which registration statement became effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the 1933 Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding or examination under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the 1933 Act has been instituted or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission; the Company is not the subject of a pending proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the 1933 Act has been received by the Company. The parts of the registration statement, including all exhibits thereto and the documents filed under the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the prospectus relating to the Securities contained in the registration statement at the time such part of the registration statement became effective, each as amended at the time each such part of the registration statement most recently became effective, are hereinafter collectively called the “Registration Statement,” and such times are hereinafter collectively called the “applicable effective date” of the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(ix) or (x) under the 1933 Act. The prospectus dated May 16, 2022 relating to the Securities contained in the registration statement is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Prospectus.” In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities. Such preliminary prospectus supplement and Base Prospectus, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Pre-Pricing Prospectus.” Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a prospectus supplement dated November 7, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and will file the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus with the Commission, all in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and Rule 424(b). The Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), are herein called, collectively, the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents filed under the 1934 Act and incorporated by reference therein on or before the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed under the 1934 Act and incorporated by reference therein after the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Pre-Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

(ii) Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (i)(A) At the time of filing of the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person or entity acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) under the 1933 Act) made any offer relating to the

Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 under the 1933 Act, and (D) at the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (the “Execution Time”) (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (D)), the Company was, is and will be a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act; and (ii) with respect to each offering of the Securities pursuant hereto, 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 1933 Act) of such Securities, the Company was not and will not be an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act.

(iii) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure at Time of Sale. (i) On the applicable effective date the Registration Statement complied, and as of the Execution Time the Registration Statement as amended or supplemented complies, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and with the 1933 Act Regulations; (ii) and at the Closing Date (and, if any Option Securities are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; (iii) as of the applicable effective date the Registration Statement did not, as of the Execution Time the Prospectus does not, and as of the Applicable Time the General Disclosure Package 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, and in the case of the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iv) on the Closing Date (and, if any Option Securities are purchased, at the applicable Option Closing Date), the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, 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, in the 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, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or the General Disclosure Package in reliance upon and in conformity with information, if any, furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriters as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.

a. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth:

(i) the Forward Seller agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees to purchase from the Forward Seller, severally and not jointly, the respective number of Borrowed Firm Securities set forth opposite its name in Exhibit A hereto plus any additional number of Borrowed Firm Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, subject to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional Securities, in each case pertaining to the relevant Forward Seller and at a purchase price of $90.016 per share (the “Purchase Price”);

(ii) the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and each Underwriter, severally not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Purchase Price, a number of Company Top-Up Firm Securities, if any, that bears the same proportion to the total number of Company Top-Up Firm Securities as the number of Borrowed Firm Securities set forth on Exhibit A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Borrowed Firm Securities on such Schedule.

(iii) The Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters to purchase pursuant to clause (iv) or clause (v) below, as applicable, all or any portion of the Option Securities at a price per share equal to the Purchase Price referred to in Section 2(a) above; provided that the price per share for any Option Securities shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared, paid or payable by the Company on the Firm Securities but not payable on such Option Securities (such price, the “Option Purchase Price”). The option hereby granted will expire at 11:59 P.M. (New York City time) on the 30th day after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time upon written notice (each an “Option Notice”) to the Company and the Forward Seller. Any such Option Notice shall set forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities (each an “Option Closing Date”), which may be the same date and time as the First Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall not be later than seven (7) full Business Days (as defined below) after the date of such notice (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof), nor in any event prior to the Closing Date. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Borrowed Firm Securities set forth in Exhibit A hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any additional number of Securities that such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, bears to the total number of Borrowed Firm Securities, subject in each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in their discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

(iv) The Company may, in its sole discretion, within one (1) Business Day after such Option Notice is given, execute and deliver to the Forward Purchaser an additional forward sale agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, between the Company and the Forward Purchaser (each, an “Additional Forward Sale Agreement”), providing for the forward sale by the Company, subject to the Company’s right to elect Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement (as such terms are defined in such Additional Forward Sale Agreement), of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of Option Securities being purchased by the Underwriters from the Forward Seller pursuant to such exercise of the Option. Upon the Company’s execution and delivery to the Forward Purchaser of any Additional Forward Sale Agreement, the Forward Purchaser shall promptly execute and deliver such Additional Forward Sale Agreement to the Company, and upon such execution and delivery to the Company, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (x) the Forward Seller (with respect to any Borrowed Option Securities) hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall purchase from the Forward Seller, severally and not jointly, the number of Option Securities as set forth in the relevant Option Notice at the Option Purchase Price (with each such Underwriter purchasing the number of Option Securities (subject to adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Underwriters may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Option Securities as the number of Borrowed Firm Securities set forth on Schedule II opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Borrowed Firm Securities on such Schedule) and (y) the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall purchase from the Company, severally and not jointly, the Company Top-Up Option Securities, if any (with each such Underwriter purchasing the number of Company Top-Up Option Securities (subject to adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Underwriters may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Company Top-Up Option Securities as the number of Borrowed Firm

Securities set forth on Schedule II opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Borrowed Firm Securities on such Schedule).

(v) If the Company does not timely execute and deliver the Additional Forward Sale Agreement pursuant to clause (iv) above, then on the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters shall purchase from the Company, severally and not jointly, at the Option Purchase Price, the number of Option Securities as set forth in the relevant Option Notice (with each such Underwriter purchasing the number of Option Securities (subject to adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Underwriters may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Option Securities as the number of Borrowed Firm Securities set forth on Schedule II opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Borrowed Firm Securities on such Schedule).

(b) If with respect to the Borrowed Firm Securities underlying the Forward Sale Agreement (i) any of the conditions to effectiveness of the relevant Forward Sale Agreement set forth therein are not satisfied on or prior to the First Closing Date, (ii) the Company has not performed all of the obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement on or prior to the First Closing Date or (iii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof have not been satisfied on or prior to the First Closing Date (clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2(b), together, the “Conditions”), then the applicable Forward Seller, in its sole discretion, may elect not to borrow for sale to the Underwriters the Borrowed Firm Securities otherwise deliverable by such Forward Seller hereunder. In addition, in the event that in the Forward Seller’s good faith and commercially reasonable judgment (A) its affiliated Forward Purchaser is unable to borrow and deliver for sale under this Agreement the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Borrowed Firm Securities deliverable by such Forward Seller hereunder or (B) such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate would incur a Stock Loan Fee (as defined under the relevant Forward Sale Agreement) of more than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum to do so, then, in each case, such Forward Seller shall only be required to deliver for sale to the Underwriters on the First Closing Date the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate is able to so borrow at or below such Stock Loan Fee.

(c) If the Company has entered into an Additional Forward Sale Agreement with a Forward Purchaser pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) hereof, with respect to the related Borrowed Option Securities, if (i) any of the conditions to effectiveness of such Additional Forward Sale Agreement set forth therein are not satisfied on or prior to the relevant Option Closing Date, (ii) the Company has not performed all of the obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement on or prior to such Option Closing Date or (iii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof have not been satisfied on or prior to such Option Closing Date (clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2(c), together, the “Option Conditions”), then its affiliated Forward Seller, in its sole discretion, may elect not to deliver for sale to the Underwriters the Borrowed Option Securities otherwise deliverable by such Forward Seller hereunder. In addition, in the event that in such Forward Seller’s good faith and commercially reasonable judgment (A) its affiliated Forward Purchaser is unable to borrow and deliver for sale under this Agreement the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Borrowed Option Securities deliverable by such Forward Seller hereunder or (B) such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate would incur a Stock Loan Fee (as defined under such Additional Forward Sale Agreement) of more than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum to do so, then, in each case, such Forward Seller shall only be required to deliver for sale to the Underwriters on such Option Closing Date the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Forward Purchaser or its affiliate is able to so borrow at or below such Stock Loan Fee.

(d) If (i) the Forward Seller elects pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof not to deliver for sale to the Underwriters on the First Closing Date the total number of Borrowed Firm Securities otherwise deliverable by such Forward Seller hereunder, or (ii) the Forward Purchaser has entered into an Additional Forward Sale Agreement with the Company pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) hereof and its affiliated Forward Seller elects pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof not to deliver for sale to the Underwriters on the relevant Option Closing Date the total number of Borrowed Option Securities otherwise deliverable by it hereunder in respect of such Option Closing Date, then such Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day prior to the First Closing Date or such Option Closing Date, as the case may be.

(e) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Firm Securities shall be made at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, 1888 Century Park E, Los Angeles, CA 90067, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives, the Forward Seller and the Company, at 9:00 A.M. (New York City

time) on November 10, 2023 (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10), or such other time not later than five business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives, the Forward Seller and the Company (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Firm Securities being herein called the “First Closing Date,” and each of the First Closing Date and any Option Closing Date is herein called a “Closing Date”).

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, such Option Securities shall be made at the above‑mentioned offices at 9:00 A.M. (New York City time), or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives, the Forward Seller and the Company, on each Option Closing Date as specified in the notice from the Representatives to the Company.

Payment shall be made to (i) the Forward Seller, in the case of the Borrowed Securities and/or (ii) to the Company, in the case of any Company Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Forward Seller or Company, as the case may be, in each case against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of the Securities to be purchased by them. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Firm Securities and the Option Securities, if any, that it has agreed to purchase. Wells Fargo, individually and not as Representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Firm Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

(f) Delivery of Securities. Delivery of the Firm Securities and any Option Securities shall be made through the facilities of DTC unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(g) Rule 158.

whether any transaction described in clause (i) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other capital stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company may, without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo:

SECTION 6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners and members and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i) against 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 any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433) that does not constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, 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 6(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) 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 this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriters as aforesaid consists of the information described as such in Section 6(b) hereof.

(b) Indemnification by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless 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 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 6(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), consists exclusively of the following information in the Pre-Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus: (i) the first and third sentences of the fourth paragraph appearing under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”; and (ii) the second sentence of the first paragraph, the first, fourth and fifth sentences of the second paragraph and the third sentence of the third paragraph appearing under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest) – Price Stabilization, Short Positions”.

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to the Underwriters and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 6(a) hereof shall be selected by Wells Fargo, 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 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 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 Underwriters and the other indemnified parties referred to in Section 6(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 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 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 6 or Section 7 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.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. 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 6, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) 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.

SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Underwriters, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Underwriters, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser 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 above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party 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 or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and in no event shall any Forward Seller and/or Forward Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate Spread under the relevant Forward Sale Agreement or Additional Forward Sale Agreement, as the case may be, net of any costs associated therewith, as reasonably determined by such Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, as the case may be.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each affiliate of any Underwriter, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller, each officer, director, employee, partner and member of any Underwriter, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller or any such affiliate, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters’, Forward Purchaser’s and Forward Seller’s respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Borrowed Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Exhibit A hereto and not joint.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates signed by any officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether signed on behalf of such officer, the Company or such subsidiary) and delivered to the Representatives, the Forward Seller, the Forward Purchaser or counsel to the Underwriters, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Forward Seller, any Forward Purchaser, any officer, director, employee, partner, member or agent of any Underwriter, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser or any person or entity controlling any Underwriter, any Forward Seller or any Forward Purchaser, or by or on behalf of the Company, any officer, director or employee of the Company or any person or entity controlling the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser at any time on or prior to Closing Date (and, if any Option Securities are to be purchased on an Option Closing Date that occurs after the Closing Date, the Representatives may terminate the obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase such Option Securities, by notice to the Company, the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser at any time on or prior to such Option Closing Date) (i) if there has been, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (in each case exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement), any material adverse change or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in the condition (financial or other), earnings, business, properties or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth or contemplated by the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions (including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities), in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if (A) trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or (B) trading generally on the NYSE or the NASDAQ Global Market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (C) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe, or (iv) if a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York has been declared by either U.S. federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof and except that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 hereof shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date to purchase the Securities that it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non‑defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24‑hour period, then:

(A). if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non‑defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount of such Defaulted Securities in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non‑defaulting Underwriters; or

(B). if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Option Closing Date that occurs after the Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities that were to have been purchased and sold on such Option Closing Date, shall terminate without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default that does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of an Option Closing Date that is after the Closing Date, that does not result in a termination of the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of an Option Closing Date which is after the Closing Date, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

SECTION 12. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller 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, Forward Purchaser or Forward Seller 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.

SECTION 13. Parties. This Agreement shall each inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and other indemnified parties referred to in Section 6 hereof and Section 7 hereof and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, the Forward Purchaser, the Forward Seller and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and other indemnified parties and their successors, heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person or entity. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among IDACORP, Inc., an Idaho corporation (the “Company”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), as Forward Sellers and representatives (the “Representatives”) of a group of underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), and the other parties thereto, relating to the confirmations to be entered into between the Company and the Forward Purchasers named therein, providing for an underwritten public offering of common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the offering of the Common Stock will confer upon the undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each Underwriter that, during the period beginning on and including the date of the Underwriting Agreement through and including the date that is the 60th day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly:

(i) offer, pledge, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or preferred stock or other capital stock (including, without limitation, Common Stock, preferred stock or such other capital stock that may deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or that may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively, “capital stock”) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition; or

(ii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of any Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock,

whether any transaction described in clause (i) or clause (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, preferred stock, other capital stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the undersigned may, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, transfer any Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock:

(1) if the undersigned is a natural person, as a bona fide gift or gifts or by will, by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement or other final order of a court or regulatory agency, by intestate succession or pursuant to a so-called “living trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, in each case to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, or as a bona fide gift or gifts to a charity or educational institution;

(2) if the undersigned is a partnership or a limited liability company, to a partner or member, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value;

(3) to the Company in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of restricted stock units or options (including, in each case, by way of “net” or “cashless” exercise), including any transfer to the Company for the payment of tax withholdings or remittance payments due as a result of the vesting, settlement or exercise of such restricted stock units or options, in all such cases pursuant to equity awards granted under equity incentive plans or arrangements that are described in the Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), provided that any securities received upon such vesting, settlement or exercise shall be subject to the terms of this agreement; and

(4) acquired by the undersigned in the open market after the closing of the offering of the Common Stock.

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to the Representatives, acting on behalf of the Underwriters, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives, (B) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, if the undersigned is required to file a

report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock by the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is not a transfer for value and that such transfer is being made as a gift, by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement or other final order of a court or regulatory agency, by will or intestate succession or pursuant to a so-called “living trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, as the case may be, (C) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, no filing under Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock shall be required to be made during the Lock-Up Period, (D) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (3) above, if the undersigned is legally required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock, such filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the circumstances of such transfer, and (E) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above, no voluntary filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other public report, filing or announcement shall be made in respect of such transfer during this Lock-Up Period. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than the first cousin.

The undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), of any shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock, and (ii) the Company may, with respect to any Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, preferred stock or other capital stock owned or held (of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period.

The undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of any securities pursuant to any agreement, instrument, understanding or otherwise, including any registration rights agreement or similar agreement, to which the undersigned is a party or under which the undersigned is entitled to any right or benefit and any tag-along rights, co-sale rights or other rights to have any securities (debt or equity) included in the offering contemplated by this agreement or sold in connection with the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, provided that such waiver shall apply only to the public offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and each registration statement filed under the 1933 Act in connection therewith.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly authorized

(if applicable), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. The electronic signature of the undersigned (complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) of this agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the hand of the undersigned.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the offering of the securities and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate.

If the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by the parties thereto prior to December 1, 2023, this agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Common Stock actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
