The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriters not more than an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), if and to

“Intellectual Property”) currently used and proposed to be used by them in connection with the Company’s business as now conducted and as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, and (B) neither the Company

subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain comparable coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost

or notice from the FDA, any other governmental or regulatory authority or any third party which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect

authority contemplating or requiring the termination, suspension or modification of any studies, tests or preclinical or clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company, other than ordinary course communications with respect to modifications
in connection with the design and implementation of such studies, trials and tests, none of which modifications would have a material impact on such study, trial or test.

(jj) Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Registration Statement, the Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, since the

reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(kk) Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Registration Statement, the Company has not sold, issued or distributed any shares of Common Stock during the six-month period
preceding the date hereof, including any sales pursuant to Rule 144A under, or Regulation D or S of, the Securities Act, other than shares issued pursuant to employee benefit plans, qualified stock option plans or other compensation or incentive
plans or pursuant to the exercise or vesting of, as applicable, outstanding options, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards or inducement grants made to new employee hires.
(ll) The Company has filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed through the date of this Agreement or has requested extensions thereof (except, in each case, where
the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and has paid all taxes required to be paid thereon (except for cases in
which the failure to file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, except as currently being contested in good faith and for which reserves required by U.S.
GAAP have been recorded in the financial statements of the Company), and there is no tax deficiency which if determined adversely to the Company would reasonably be expected to have (nor does the Company have any notice or knowledge of any tax
deficiency which would reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to the Company and which would reasonably be expected to have) a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
(mm) Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Registration Statement, the Company and each of its subsidiaries are presently in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable privacy and data protection laws, judgments, orders, and other contractual or legal obligations binding on the Company or its subsidiaries; statutes, rules and regulations of any court or arbitrator or other governmental or regulatory
authority, in each case, relating to the privacy and security of the information technology systems and personal data used in connection with the operation of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses as currently conducted. The Company and each
of its subsidiaries have, in accordance with industry standard practices for companies comparable in size to the Company, taken steps designed to protect the information technology systems and personal data of the Company used in connection with the
operation of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses. Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Registration Statement and to the knowledge of the Company, there has been no material security breach, compromise, misuse,
misappropriation, or unauthorized use, access, disablement, or modification of or relating to any such information technology system or personal data, and the Company and its subsidiaries have not been notified of, and have no knowledge of any event
or condition that would reasonably be expected to result in, any material security breach, compromise, misuse, misappropriation, or unauthorized use, access, disablement, or modification of or relating to any such information technology system or
personal data.
2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at $23.50 per share (the “Purchase Price”).
9
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Shares, and the Underwriters shall
have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 1,500,000 Additional Shares at the Purchase Price, provided that the Purchase Price per Additional Share shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions
declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on the Additional Shares. You may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or, from time to time, in part by giving written notice to the Company not later than
30 days after the date of the Prospectus. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company and the date on which such shares are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at
least two business days after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that if an exercise notice is delivered prior to the Closing
Date, then the purchase date for such notice shall be the Closing Date. On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not
jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares from the Company (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased from the
Company on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.
3. Terms of Public Offering. The Company is advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the
Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The Company is further advised by you that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $25.00 per share (the “Public Offering Price”).
4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against
delivery of such Firm Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2021 or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as shall
be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”
Payment for any Additional Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Additional Shares for the respective accounts of the several
Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than the tenth business day thereafter, as shall
be designated in writing by you.
The Firm Shares and Additional Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option
Closing Date, as the case may be. The Firm Shares and Additional Shares shall be delivered to you on the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any
transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Shares to the Underwriters duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor.
5. Conditions to the Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters are subject to the following conditions:
(a) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date:
(i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given to the Company of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not

3(A)(62) of the Exchange Act; and
10
(ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, prospects or operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus as of the date of this Agreement that, in your judgment, is material and adverse or is reasonably likely to be material and adverse, and that makes it,
in your judgment, impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
(b) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in Section 5(a)(i) above
and to the effect that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and (ii) that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions
on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or before the Closing Date. The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his or her knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

to the Underwriters, from Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and
certain financial information contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than the date hereof.
(h) The “lock-up” agreements, each substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, between you and each executive officer and director of the Company relating to sales and certain other dispositions
of shares of Common Stock or certain other securities, delivered to you on or before the date hereof, shall be in full force and effect on the Closing Date.

otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by Section 5(f) hereof;
(vi) a letter dated the Option Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, from Ernst & Young, LLP, independent public accountants, substantially in the same form and
substance as the letter furnished to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 5(g) hereof; provided that the letter delivered on the Option Closing Date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than three business days prior to such Option Closing Date;
and
(vii) such other documents as you may reasonably request with respect to the good standing of the Company, the due authorization and issuance of the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing
Date and other matters related to the issuance of such Additional Shares.
6. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(e) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or
condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or
the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, promptly to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request,
either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, when the Time of Sale

12
(f) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the Company or the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice

misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company or the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, promptly to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to
the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the
Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the
Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(g) To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request; provided that in no event shall the Company or

(j) Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of the

7. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being
required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
8. Indemnity and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities
Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”)
or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you
expressly for use therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information furnished shall be (a) the table following the first paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, setting forth the names of the Underwriters and number
of Firm Shares to be purchased by each Underwriter; (b) the third paragraph under the under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters; and (c) paragraphs fifteen and sixteen under the
caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, relating to stabilizing transactions, short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales and the imposition of penalty bids by the Underwriters (the “Underwriter
Information”).
14
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriters, but only with reference to the Underwriter
Information.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such
person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying
party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably
incurred fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the
indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm
shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and 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) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation
provided by Section 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties
on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, as such net proceeds received by the Company and total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters are set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Underwriting”, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the
one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand or by the indemnified party or parties on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
15
(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with
respect to the offering of the Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies
provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company, its
officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and prior to the Closing Date, (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange), the
Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market, (b) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or
clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (d) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York state authorities, or (e) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of
hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (e), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 9,
the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket accountable expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated
hereunder.
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and
the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters
shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters,
or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter
has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements
satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of such termination, the Company shall not have any liability to any Underwriter
(except to the extent provided in Sections 6(j) and 8 hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have failed otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement to purchase the amount of Firm Shares agreed by
such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder) be under any liability to the Company (except to the extent provided under Sections 6(j) and 8 hereof). In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in
no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing
Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be
purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (a) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (b) purchase not less than the number
of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any
default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
16
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason
the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (unless such failure to comply or inability to perform is due primarily to any default of any Underwriter), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters
as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket accountable expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement
or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Entire Agreement.
(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company on one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms’ length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or
any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests
that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.
12. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in
any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
13. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a
U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special
Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under
this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the
United States or a state of the United States.
(b) For purposes of this Section 13, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12
U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is
defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the
meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of electronic
communication), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
17
15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without regard to principles of
conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the state of New York. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York, and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
16. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this
Agreement.

▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC and SVB Leerink LLC, as representatives of the Underwriters (as defined below) (the “Representatives”), propose to enter
into (i) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Common Stock Underwriting Agreement”) with Insmed Incorporated, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public
offering (the “Common Stock Offering”) by the several Underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), of shares of
common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Note Underwriting Agreement”), providing for the
purchase (the “Note Offering” and together with the Common Stock Offering, the “Offerings”) of senior notes of the Company convertible into shares of Common Stock.
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Offerings to continue their efforts in connection with the Offerings, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives,
on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof through the 60th day after the date of the final prospectus relating to the
Offerings (the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, 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, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)), by the undersigned or any securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
A-1
The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona fide gift or by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession, (b)
distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to limited partners, members, stockholders, or wholly-owned subsidiaries of the undersigned, (c) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible
into Common Stock pursuant to any order or settlement agreement not involving any public sale of shares of Common Stock or other securities and approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, (d) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security
convertible into Common Stock to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (e) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or similar entity of which all of the beneficial ownership interests are held by the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to
clauses (a)-(e), (i) each donee, distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver to the Representatives a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter, (ii) no public announcement or filing by any party (the undersigned, donor, donee,
distributor, distributee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, any Section 16(a) filing, shall be required or voluntarily made in connection with such transfer or distribution and (iii) any such transfer or
distribution shall not involve a disposition for value, (f) the establishment of a new trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1 trading plan”) providing for dispositions or sales
of Common Stock; provided that such plan does not permit dispositions or sales of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock during the Restricted Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding
the establishment of such plan shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, (g) transfers of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan entered into prior to the date of this agreement; provided that to the extent a public
announcement or filing under the Exchange Act is required for such transfer, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that the transfer was made pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan, (h) the exercise of options or other
stock-based awards to purchase Common Stock or vesting of restricted stock units or other stock-based awards outstanding as of the date hereof or granted under equity incentive plans or pursuant to inducement awards in effect as of the date hereof or
described in the registration statement with respect to each of the Offerings; provided that the underlying Common Stock continues to be subject to the terms of this agreement, (i) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into
Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to holders of the Common Stock involving a change of control of the Company; provided that in the event that the tender offer,
merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed during the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained herein during such period, (j) the repurchase by the Company or forfeiture of securities
to the Company in connection with termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company, and (k) the settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock units, options or other stock-based awards on a “net” basis or any other withholding of
shares of Common Stock by the Company upon vesting and/or settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock units, options or other stock-based awards; provided that (x) the underlying shares of Common Stock received by the undersigned shall continue
to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this agreement and (y) any such settled or withheld shares are surrendered to the Company in the net exercise; provided further, in each case (a) through (f) and (h) through (k), that the
undersigned shall provide you two days’ advance notice of such transfers, distributions, plan establishments, exercises, repurchases, forfeitures, settlements or withholdings, as applicable.
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with
respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s
transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offerings. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable
and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
A-2
Whether or not either the Common Stock Offering or the Note Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. The Common Stock Offering and Note Offering will only be made pursuant to
the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and Note Underwriting Agreement, respectively, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters. If (i) the closing of both Offerings have not occurred prior to June 30,
2021, (ii) the Company notifies you in writing prior to the date of the execution of each of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and the Note Underwriting Agreement that it does not intend to proceed with both Offerings, (iii) prior to the date
of the execution of each of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and the Note Underwriting Agreement, the registration statement filed with respect to each of the Common Stock Offering and the Note Offering is withdrawn or (iv) for any reason each
of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and the Note Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the respective Closing Date (as defined in each of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and Note Underwriting Agreement), this agreement
shall be of no further force or effect.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Settlement Upon Conversion:
|
Upon conversion of a note, the Issuer will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash,
shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at its election. If the Issuer elects to satisfy its conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of
cash and shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value (as defined in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) calculated on a
proportionate basis for each VWAP trading day (as defined in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) in a 40 consecutive VWAP trading day observation period (as defined in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement).
