of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

               Such counsel shall also state that, although such counsel has not independently verified and is not passing upon and does not assume responsibility, explicitly or implicitly, for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Prospectus (except as to the extent expressly stated in the opinion of such counsel), such counsel has no reason to believe that (a) on the Effective Date or the date the Registration Statement was last deemed amended the Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the Prospectus as of its date and on the Closing Date included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) the Disclosure Package as of the Time of Sale included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical information contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion).

               In rendering such opinion, such counsel (A) may state that he expresses no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of California and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the federal laws of the United States of America, (B) may rely, as to matters of fact, upon the representations and warranties made by the Company and the Adviser herein and on certificates and written statements of officers and employees of and accountants for the Company and the Adviser and of public officials, and (C) may state that he is a member of the Bar of the State of California.

          (e) The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Sidley Austin llp, counsel for the Underwriters, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Underwriters, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) and other related matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require. In rendering such opinion, Sidley Austin llp (A) may state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of Maryland and the federal laws of the United States of America, (B) may rely as to matters involving the laws of the State of Maryland upon the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 7 and (C) may rely, as to matters of fact, upon the representations and warranties made by the Company and the Adviser herein and in certificates and written statements of officers and employees of and accountants for the Company and the Adviser and of public officials. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, when giving their opinions to their “knowledge”, Sidley Austin llp

has relied solely upon (i) an inquiry of the attorneys of that firm who have worked on matters involving the issuance of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise devoted substantive attention to matters involving the Company, (ii) certificates or written statements of officers of the Company and the Adviser, (iii) where appropriate, a review of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, exhibits to the Registration Statement, the Charter and Bylaws and (iv) a review of the minute books of the Company and have made no other investigation or inquiry.

          (f) Each of the Company and the Adviser shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and by the manager of the Adviser, as the case may be, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, any supplements or amendments to the Prospectus and this Agreement and that:

          (i) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Adviser in this Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof, as of the Time of Sale and on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company and the Adviser have complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part that are respectively required to be performed or satisfied by them at or prior to the Closing Date;

          (ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted by the Commission or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Adviser, threatened by the Commission; and

          (iii) Since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated in the Prospectus (with respect to the certificate of the Company) and since the date of the Prospectus (with respect to the certificate of the Adviser), there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

          (g) The Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance heretofore approved by the Representatives.

          (h) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any material change specified in the letter or letters referred

to in paragraph (g) of this Section 7 delivered on the Closing Date from the letter delivered at the Execution Time or (ii) any change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and the Adviser, 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 Prospectus (exclusive of any 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 Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

          (i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Adviser shall deliver to each of the other parties to the Fee Agreements copies of the Fee Agreements, executed by the Adviser, together with reproduced copies of such agreements executed by the Adviser for each of the other parties thereto.

          (j) The Securities shall have been listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the NYSE, and satisfactory evidence of such actions shall have been provided to the Representatives.

          (m) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Adviser shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

          (n) In the event that the Underwriters exercise their option provided in Section 3(b) hereof to purchase all or any portion of the Option Securities, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Adviser contained herein and the statements in any certificates furnished by the Company and the Adviser hereunder shall be true and correct as of each settlement date and, at the relevant settlement date, the Representatives shall have received:

          (i) A certificate, dated such settlement date, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company and by the manager of the Adviser confirming that the

certificate delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7(f) hereof remains true and correct as of such settlement date.

          (ii) The favorable opinions of Paul, Hastings, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, special Maryland counsel to the Company, and of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., general counsel of the Adviser each in form and substance satisfactory to the counsel for the Underwriters, dated such settlement date, relating to the Option Securities to be purchased on such settlement and otherwise to the same effect as the opinions required by Sections 7(b), 7(c) and 7(d) hereof, respectively.

          (iii) The favorable opinion of Sidley Austin llp, counsel for the Underwriters, dated such settlement date, relating to the Option Securities to be purchased on such settlement date and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by Section 7(e) hereof.

          (v) Prior to each settlement date, the Company and the Adviser shall have furnished to the Underwriters such further information, certificates and documents as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

          If any of the conditions specified in this Section 7 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided for 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 Underwriters (unless any such conditions have been waived in writing by the Representatives on or prior to such respective dates). 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 7 shall be delivered at the office of Sidley Austin llp, counsel for the Underwriters, at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., on the Closing Date.

          8. 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 7 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or the Adviser to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by the Underwriters, the Adviser will reimburse the Underwriters severally through

UBS Securities LLC on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

     9. Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) The Company, KACALP and the Adviser, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) of any such Underwriter that sells Securities on behalf of such Underwriter against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation), to which they or any of them may become subject under the 1933 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 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof (and including any post-effective amendment, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any Rule 430A Information deemed to be included or incorporated therein), or in the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), (ii) 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and subject to the provisions hereof, 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 any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company, KACALP and the Adviser 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, KACALP and the Adviser by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, it being understood that the only information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the last sentence of Section 9(b). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company, KACALP and the Adviser may otherwise have to the indemnified parties to the indemnified parties.

          (b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, KACALP and the Adviser, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company, KACALP or the Adviser within the

meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company, KACALP and the Adviser to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company, KACALP or the Adviser 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 to the Company, KACALP and the Adviser. The Company, KACALP and the Adviser acknowledge that the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (i) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (ii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances, and (iii) the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids, in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 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 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party 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) and to control such action; 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 and documented fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (A) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (B) 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, (C) the indemnifying party shall not

have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (D) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.

          (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, KACALP, the Adviser 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 same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, KACALP, the Adviser 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, KACALP and the Adviser, on the one hand (treated jointly for this purpose as one person), and by the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offer of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, KACALP, the Adviser 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, KACALP and the Adviser, on the one hand (treated jointly for this purpose as one person), 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, KACALP, and the Adviser (treated jointly for this purpose as one person) 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 Prospectus. Relative fault of the parties 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, KACALP and the Adviser, on the one hand (treated jointly for this purpose as one person), 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, KACALP, the Adviser and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 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), 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 who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company, KACALP or the Adviser within the meaning of either the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company, KACALP and the Adviser who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company, KACALP and the Adviser shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, KACALP and the Adviser, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereof (or such numbers of Securities increased as set forth in Section 10 hereof) and not joint.

          (e) No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability from claimants on claims that are the subject matter of such 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. Subject to the following sentence, an indemnifying party shall not be liable to an indemnified party under this Section 9 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without the prior written consent of such indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by this Section 9 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.

          (f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 9 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the representations and warranties of the Company, KACALP and the Adviser set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or

any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, KACALP, the Adviser or their shareholders, trustees, directors, managers, members or officers or any person controlling the Company, KACALP or the Adviser (control to be determined within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act), (ii) acceptance of any Securities and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination or cancellation of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter or to the Company, KACALP, the Adviser or their shareholders, trustees, directors, managers, members or officers or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, KACALP or the Adviser shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 9.

     10. 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 number of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters or in such other proportion as UBS Securities LLC may specify in accordance with the UBS Securities LLC Master Agreement Among Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Securities set forth in Schedule I 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 nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Adviser. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Underwriters shall determine in order that the required changes in the 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 nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement includes, for all purposes of this Agreement, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, with your approval and the approval of the Company, purchases Securities which a defaulting Underwriter agreed, but failed or refused, to purchase.

     11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, without liability on the part of the Underwriters to the Company or the Adviser, by notice given to the Company or the Adviser prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) there has been, since the Execution Time, or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company or the Adviser, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) trading in the Company’s Common Stock or in any of its affiliates’ (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) common stock (including for this purpose ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Development Company,

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Total Return Fund, Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ MLP Investment Company) shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on the NYSE, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by federal or New York State authorities, (iv) a material disruption has occurred in securities settlement or securities clearance in the United States, or (v) 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 the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

     12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of each of the Company, KACALP and the Adviser 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, KACALP or the Adviser or any of the officers, trustees, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

     13. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an 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) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

     14. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Adviser and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Midstream/Energy Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Advisors, L.P., a California limited partnership (“KACALP”) (solely with respect to Section 2(b), Section 2(e), Section 7(l), Section 9 and Section 12 thereof), KA Fund Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), and you as underwriters and as the representatives (the “Representatives”) of each of the several underwriters named therein (collectively called the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.

          In order to induce you to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of each of the Representatives for a period

of [180 days] after the date of the Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”). The Representatives in their sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to lock-up agreements at any time without notice. In the event that either (x) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or (y) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that the Company will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the earnings release.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer any shares of Common Stock owned by him or her or any interest therein (i) for estate-planning purposes to (x) a trust under which the distribution of the shares of Common Stock transferred thereto may be made only to beneficiaries who are the undersigned, his or her spouse, his or her parents, members of his or her immediate family or his or her lineal descendants (collectively, “Permitted Family Members”), (y) a corporation the shareholders of which are only the undersigned or Permitted Family Members or (z) a partnership the partners of which are only the undersigned or Permitted Family Members or (ii) in case of the death of the undersigned, by will or by the laws of intestate succession, to his or her executors, administrators, testamentary trustees, legatees or beneficiaries (each such person to which a transfer is permitted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that in each such case, the shares of Common Stock transferred shall be subject to all provisions of this agreement as though the undersigned were still the holder of such shares of Common Stock; and provided further, that the Permitted Transferee must execute and deliver to each of the Representatives an agreement stating that the Permitted Transferee is receiving and holding such shares of Common Stock in the same manner as the person making the transfer.

          If for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), the agreement set forth above shall likewise automatically be terminated.

Yours very truly,
