Such registration statement, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and any amendments thereto) before effectiveness that is furnished by the Company to the Underwriters (as defined below) for distribution in connection with the offering of the Shares, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Shares. If the Company files an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement;

WHEREAS, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company intends to file a Preliminary Prospectus setting forth a per share price range of $18.00 to $20.00 within which the Company expects to offer shares of Common Stock to the public in the Initial Public Offering (such Preliminary Prospectus, together with the pricing information set forth on Annex B to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) and each “free writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B to the Underwriting Agreement, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”);

WHEREAS, promptly following the determination of the price per share at which the Common Stock is to be offered to the public in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Share Price”), the Company intends enter into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriter Share Price”), the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued and sold by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (such number (not taking into account any Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock from the Company), the “Primary Shares Amount”) and the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the stockholders of the Company named in Schedule 2 to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Selling Stockholders”) to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (such number (not taking into account any Shares to be sold pursuant to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock from the Selling Stockholders), the “Secondary Shares Amount,” and the Secondary Shares Amount, together with the Public Share Price, the Underwriter Share Price and the Primary Shares Amount, the “Initial Public Offering Economics”); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company desires to sell to the Investor, and the Investor desires to purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

If an Opt-Out Event occurs and the Investor fails to timely deliver a Purchase Notification to the Company, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and neither party will have any liability under this Agreement to the other party. The shares of Common Stock purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement shall be collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Securities.”

1.2 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Investor pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement.
