There are no contracts or other documents of a character that are required by the Act to be described in, or filed as an exhibit to, a registration statement to be filed with the Commission which are not described or filed as required. Each description of a contract, document or other agreement in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum accurately reflects in all material respects the terms of the contract, document or other agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Purchasers, and each of the Purchasers agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of 97.75% of the principal amount thereof (the “Purchase Price”), the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser in Schedule I hereto.

(b)

Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants to the several Purchasers an option to purchase, severally and not jointly, at their election, up to $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Option Securities at the Purchase Price. Such option may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the sale of the Firm Securities by the Purchasers. Such option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time, by written notice from the Purchasers to the Company setting forth the aggregate principal amount of Option Securities to be purchased and the date on which such Option Securities are to be delivered, as determined by you but in no event earlier than the First Time of Delivery or, unless you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, earlier than two or later than ten business days after the date of such notice; provided that in no event shall the delivery date of the Option Securities be later than the last day of the 13-day period beginning on, and including, the First Time of Delivery. The principal amount of Option Securities to be purchased by each Purchaser shall be the same percentage of the total principal amount of Option Securities to be purchased by all Purchasers as such Purchaser is purchasing of the Firm Securities, subject to such adjustments as you in your absolute discretion shall make to eliminate any fraction of $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

Upon the authorization by you of the release of the Securities, the several Purchasers propose to offer the Securities for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offering Memorandum and each Purchaser, acting severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company that:

(a)

It will sell the Securities only to persons who it reasonably believes are, “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Act in transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 144A; and

(b)

It is an institutional Accredited Investor (within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Act).

(a)

The Securities to be purchased by each Purchaser hereunder will be represented by one or more definitive global Securities in book-entry form which will be deposited by or on behalf of the Company with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its designated custodian. The Company will deliver the Securities to the Representatives for the account of each Purchaser, against payment by or on behalf of such Purchaser of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds, by causing DTC to credit the Securities to the account of the Representatives at DTC. The Company will cause the notes representing the Securities to be made available to the Representatives for checking at least twenty-four hours prior to such Time of Delivery (as defined below) at the office of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP (the “Closing Location”). The time and date of such delivery and payment shall be, with respect to the Firm Securities, 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on November 19, 2018 or such other time and date as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing and, with respect to the Option Securities, 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified by the Representatives in the written notice given by the Representatives of the Purchasers’ election to purchase such Option Securities, or such other time and date as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. Such time and date for delivery of the Firm Securities is herein called the “First Time of Delivery,” such time and date for delivery of any Option Securities, if not the First Time of Delivery, is herein called a “Second Time of Delivery,” and each such time and date for delivery is herein called a “Time of Delivery.”

(b)

The documents to be delivered at each Time of Delivery by or on behalf of the parties hereto pursuant to Section 8 hereof, including the cross-receipt for the Securities and any additional documents requested by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 8(l) hereof, will be delivered at such time and date at the Closing Location, and the Securities will be delivered at the office of DTC (or its designated custodian), all at such Time of Delivery. A meeting will be held at the Closing Location at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next preceding such Time of Delivery, at which meeting the final drafts of the documents to be delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence will be available for review by the parties hereto.

(iii) any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document or Permitted General Solicitation Material, the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives, is listed as applicable on Schedule II(b), Schedule II(c) or Schedule II(d) hereto, respectively.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company and the Representatives (notwithstanding Section 17 hereof), the Company covenants and agrees with the several Purchasers that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants in connection with the issue of the Securities and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, reproduction and filing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Purchasers and dealers; (ii) the cost of printing or producing any Agreement among Purchasers, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Capped Call Confirmations, the Securities, the Blue Sky Memorandum, closing documents (including any compilations thereof), Permitted General Solicitation Materials and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities; (iii) all fees and expenses in connection with listing of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (iv) all expenses in

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or any Permitted General Solicitation Material or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any such amendment or supplement, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 9(f).

(b)

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, or any Permitted General Solicitation Material or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any such amendment or supplement, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 9(f); and each Purchaser will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action 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)

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting any other expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, in each case as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or

alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), no Purchaser 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 investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e)

The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of any Purchaser; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

(f)

The Purchasers severally confirm and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the statements appearing in the seventh paragraph, the third and fourth sentences of the eighth paragraph, ninth paragraph, second sentence of the tenth paragraph, sixteenth paragraph, seventeenth paragraph and nineteenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum constitute the only information concerning the Purchasers furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchasers expressly for use in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material.

10.

(a)

If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed

periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Memorandum, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b)

If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

(c)

If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement (or, with respect to a Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Purchasers to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Purchasers as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

11.

The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12.

If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the not so delivered Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13.

In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Purchaser made or given by you jointly or by the Representatives on behalf of you as the representatives.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to you as the Representatives to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: General Counsel, facsimile number 0-000-000-0000 and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Registration Department; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Memorandum, Attention: Secretary, with a copy to Xxxxxxx Procter LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxx, facsimile (000) 000-0000; provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to such Purchaser at its address set forth in its Purchasers’ Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by you upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

14.

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchasers, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company or any Purchaser and each person who controls the Company or any Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15.	Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

16.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) 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 several Purchasers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Purchaser, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17.	This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

18.

THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION 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 or our engagement 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.

19.	The Company and each of the Purchasers 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.

20.	This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

21.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (and the Company’s employees, representatives, and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Purchasers’ imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means U.S. federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

Re:

Wayfair Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as representatives (the “Representatives”), propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement on behalf of the several purchasers named in Schedule I to such agreement (collectively, the “Purchasers”) with Wayfair Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the purchase and resale (the “Placement”) by the several Purchasers of convertible senior notes of the Company (the “Securities”), which will be convertible into cash, shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), or a combination of shares and Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s option.

In consideration of the agreement by the Purchasers to purchase and make the Placement of the Securities, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period that commences on the date of this “Lock-Up Agreement” and will continue for 75 days after the offering date set forth in the final offering memorandum for the Placement (the “Offering Memorandum”) (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Securities or the Class A Common Stock, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Class A Common Stock or any such

substantially similar securities, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC”) (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”), or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such Undersigned’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Undersigned’s Shares.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (A) a transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (iii) with the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Purchasers, (iv) to limited partners, general partners, limited liability company members or stockholders of the undersigned, or, if the undersigned is a corporation, to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation; (v) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned; (vi) to the Company by a current or former employee, consultant, manager or other person who was employed by or performed services for the Company or any subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or services; provided that (1) in the case of (i), (ii), (iv) and (v) above, each donee, trustee of the trust, or transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein (except that bona fide gifts of shares of Class A Common Stock may be made to one or more charitable organizations pursuant to (i) above without any such agreement to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, so long as the aggregate number of such shares transferred pursuant to this parenthetical and any substantially similar provision included in any other lock-up agreements executed by directors and officers of the Company in connection with the Placement shall not exceed a maximum of 1.0% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding upon consummation of the Placement), (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (3) in the case of (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, any such transfer is not required to be or voluntarily publicly disclosed or reported with the SEC on Form 3, 4 or 5 in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period (other than on any such Form required to be filed under Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to bona fide gifts of shares of Class A Common Stock may be made to one or more charitable organizations pursuant to (i) above, so long as (x) such Form indicates by footnote disclosure or otherwise the nature of the transfer or disposition, and (y) the aggregate number of such shares transferred pursuant to this parenthetical and any substantially similar provision included in any other lock-up agreements executed by directors and officers of the Company in connection with the Placement shall not exceed a maximum of 1.0% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding upon consummation of the Placement); (B) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of any of the Undersigned’s Shares (a “Trading Plan”); provided that the establishment of such Trading Plan is not required to be or voluntarily publicly disclosed or reported with the SEC on Form 3, 4 or 5 in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period and such Trading Plan shall not provide for or permit any transfers, sales or other dispositions of any of the Undersigned’s Shares until after the Lock-Up Period (other than any such transfers, sales or other dispositions permitted pursuant to (C)(ii) below); (C) sales pursuant to (i) a Trading Plan established prior to the

date hereof and not amended or modified during the Lock-Up Period or (ii) a Trading Plan established during the Lock-Up Period, provided that (x) any such existing Trading Plan or the material terms of any such new Trading Plan have been disclosed to you in writing prior to the execution of this Lock-Up Agreement by the undersigned, (y) any such new Trading Plan with terms that materially differ from those previously disclosed to you shall be approved by you in writing, and (z) such sales are not voluntarily publicly disclosed or reported with the SEC on Form 3, 4 or 5 in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period (other than on any such Form required to be filed under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, in which case such Form would indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise the nature of the transfer or disposition); (D) a transfer the Undersigned’s Shares in connection with a sale of any of the Undersigned’s Shares acquired in open market transactions after the Placement; provided that such transfer is not required to be or voluntarily publicly disclosed or reported with the SEC on Form 3, 4 or 5 in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period; (E) the exercise of any options outstanding as of the date hereof if the undersigned is a current or former employee, consultant, manager or other person who was employed by or performed services for the Company or any subsidiary and if such option was issued pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans and would otherwise expire by its terms during the Lock-Up Period in connection with the cessation of such employment or services; provided that any securities received upon such exercise will also be subject to this Lock-up Agreement; (F) the conversion of any convertible securities if the undersigned is a current or former employee, consultant, manager or other person who was employed by or performed services for the Company or any subsidiary, provided that any securities received upon such conversion will also be subject to this Lock-up Agreement; (G) the transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company as a forfeiture, or the automatic sale of shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case to satisfy any income, employment or social tax withholding and remittance obligations of the undersigned or the employer of the undersigned in connection with the vesting of deferred units or restricted stock units held by the undersigned and outstanding as of the date of the Offering Memorandum; provided that any such transfers or sales are not voluntarily publicly disclosed or reported with the SEC on Form 3, 4 or 5 in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period (other than on any such Form required to be filed under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, in which case such Form shall indicate by footnote disclosure or otherwise the nature of the transfer or sale); and (H) any transfer pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s 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, the Undersigned’s Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by this Lock-Up Agreement, for the Lock-Up Period will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. 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 except in compliance with this Lock-Up Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further effect upon the earliest to occur, if any, of: (i) either, the Representatives on behalf of the Purchasers, or the Company, advising the other party in writing, prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Placement, (ii) the termination of the Purchase Agreement before the sale of any Shares to the Purchasers, and (iii) December 14, 2018 in the event that the Purchase Agreement has not been executed by such date.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Placement. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
