(f) To advise the Representatives promptly (i) when the Registration Statement has become effective, (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective, (iii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any issuer free writing prospectus or any Permitted Testing-the-Waters Communication or any amendment to the Prospectus has been filed or distributed, (iv) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or for additional information with respect thereto, or (v) of notice of institution of proceedings for, or the entry of a stop order, suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus; and if the Commission should enter such a stop order, to use its best efforts to obtain the lifting or removal of such order as soon as practicable.

(g) 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 any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith 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 when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

(h) If, during such period after the first date of the Offering as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by the Representatives 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 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.

(i) If, at or after the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is necessary or appropriate for a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, or a Rule 462 Registration Statement, to be filed with the Commission and become effective before the Shares may be sold, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment or such Registration Statement to be filed and become effective, and will pay any applicable fees in accordance with the Securities Act, as soon as practicable; and the Company will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing, (i) when such post-effective amendment or such Registration Statement has become effective, and (ii) if Rule 430A or 430C under the Securities Act is used, when the Prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (which the Company agrees to file in a timely manner in accordance with such Rules).

(j) To file in a timely manner all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and for so long as the delivery of a prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required in connection with the Offering of the Shares.

(k) Promptly to furnish such information or to take such action as the Representatives may reasonably request and otherwise to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Representatives shall reasonably request, and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a consent to service of process in any jurisdiction (excluding service of process with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares); and to promptly advise the Representatives of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offer or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(l) To make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to the Representatives as soon as practicable an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

(m) To use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed on the Exchange and to maintain such listing.

(n) During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the Prospectus, and without the prior written consent of the Representatives with the authorization to release the lock-up letter on behalf of the Underwriters, not to (i) issue, offer, sell, pledge, 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, make any short sale, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, (ii) enter into any swap, forward contract, hedging transaction or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares, whether such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, (iii) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, or (iv) publicly disclose or announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.

If the Representatives agree to release or waive the restrictions set forth in a lock-up letter described in Section 6(k) above for an officer or director of the Company and provide the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, the Company agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by a press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.

(o) To prepare, if the Representatives reasonably request, a final term sheet relating to the Offering, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Offering in a form consented to by the Representatives, and to file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date on which the final terms have been established for the Offering.

(p) To comply with Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act (without reliance on Rule 164(b) under the Securities Act) and with Rule 433(g) under the Securities Act.

(q) Not to take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or which will constitute, or has constituted, or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

(r) Not, at any time at or after the execution of this Agreement, to offer or sell any Shares by means of any “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) or use any “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares, except in each case other than the Prospectus.

(s) To maintain a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar for the Common Shares.

(t) To apply the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares in the manner set forth under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(w) If at any time following the distribution of any Permitted Testing-the-Waters Communication, there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Permitted Testing-the-Waters Communication included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Permitted Testing-the-Waters Communication to eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.

8. Covenants of the Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder covenants to each Underwriter as follows:

(a) The Selling Shareholder has or shall furnish to the Representatives on or prior to the date hereof, a “lock-up” agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, which lock-up agreement shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Selling Shareholder.

(b) The Selling Shareholder shall deliver to the Representatives prior to the Closing Date a properly completed and executed United States Treasury Department Form W-8BEN-E.

(c) The Selling Shareholder has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its and the Selling Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s and Selling Shareholder’s counsel and, the Company’s accountants in connection with the registration and delivery of the Shares under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company, and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any securities or blue sky memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares under the securities laws of the jurisdictions in which the Shares may be offered or sold and all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under such securities laws as provided in Section 7(k) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with a “blue sky” memorandum which when taken together with all fees and expenses pursuant to clauses (iv) and (x) below, shall not exceed $35,000, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the Offering of the Shares by FINRA, which when taken together with all fees and expenses pursuant to clause (iii) above and clause (x) below, shall not exceed $35,000, (v) all fees and expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the Common Shares and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Shares on the Exchange, (vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Shares, (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Offering, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel, food and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, provided, however, that the Underwriters shall pay for 50% of the costs and expenses of any chartered flight used in connection with the road show presentation on which there is or is planned to be a representative of the Underwriters and a representative of the Company, (ix) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement, (x) all expenses in connection with any offer and sale of the Shares outside of the United States, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with offers and sales outside of the United States and the preparation of any prospectus wrappers or disclosures deemed advisable or necessary to comply with foreign securities laws, and (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section.

Whether or not the sale of the Shares provided for herein is consummated, the Selling Shareholder will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the Selling Shareholder’s obligations hereunder that are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section 9.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, share transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make. Notwithstanding the above, if the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 is not satisfied, because of any termination of this Agreement by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 11 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any obligation or covenant hereunder or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, then the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or in furtherance of the Offering, provided, however, that such reimbursement shall not exceed $600,000.

The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.

10. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and its directors, officers and employees, 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 from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including actions and other proceedings in respect thereof and including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such claim, action or other proceeding (any of the foregoing being a “Loss”), caused by, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or 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, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement or wrapper thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 10(a) to the extent that such Losses are caused by, arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and its directors, officers and employees, 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, from and against any and all Losses caused by, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, or 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, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement or wrapper thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Shareholder Information relating to the Selling Shareholder furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein. The liability of the Selling Shareholder under this Section 10(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds (after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses) applicable to the Public Offering Price of the Shares sold by the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement (the “Selling Shareholder Proceeds”).

(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholder, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) and (b) above, but with respect to any and all Losses caused by, arising from or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or 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, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or the Prospectus or any amendment, supplement or wrapper thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Losses are caused by, arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(d) In case any claim, action or other proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing provided that the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) 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), (b) or (c) above. 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 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 agreed to the retention of such counsel or (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. 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 (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for 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 such Section, and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Selling Shareholder and all persons, if any, who control the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate law firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such law firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives. In the case of any such separate law firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate law firm for the Selling Shareholder and such control persons of the Selling Shareholder, such law firm shall be designated in writing by an authorized representative of the Selling Shareholder. 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, then the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into in good faith more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and more than 60 days after the receipt by the indemnifying party of the terms of such settlement and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request and in good faith shall not have contested the reasonableness of such fees and expenses, in each case, prior to the date of such settlement. 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 Losses that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses 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 (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 or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (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, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the Offering shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the Offering (after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts, but before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand 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 Sellers or by the Underwriters 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 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The Selling Shareholder shall not be liable under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph and the indemnification provisions of this Section 10 in excess of an amount equal to the Selling Shareholder Proceeds.

(f) The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Selling Shareholder and 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 10(e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, 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. 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 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate liability of the Selling Shareholder under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 shall not exceed the Selling Shareholder Proceeds.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 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 director, officer or employee of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, the Selling Shareholder, any director, officer or employee of the Selling Shareholder, any person controlling the Selling Shareholder, or the Company, its officers, directors or employees or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

11. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representatives to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Additional Shares, prior to the Option Closing Date (a) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (b) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, on, or by, as the case may be, the Exchange, or by order of the Commission or FINRA or any other governmental authority, (c) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended or materially limited on any exchange or in any over‑the‑counter market, (d) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (e) any moratorium or material limitation on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or state authorities, (f) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, act of terrorism involving the United States or declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or (g) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (f) or (g), in the Representatives’ judgment, is material and adverse and is materially 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 (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

12. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Shares 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 amount of Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Shares set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Shares 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 Shares, and if such non-defaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Shares, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholder. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 12, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five business days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and 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, the Selling Shareholder and/or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters set forth 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, the Selling Shareholder or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 10 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. The provisions of Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

19. TRIAL BY JURY. THE COMPANY (ON ITS BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, SHAREHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES), THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER AND EACH OF THE UNDERWRITERS 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. 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.

21. Research Analyst Independence. The Company and Selling Shareholder acknowledge that (a) the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies and (b) the Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company, the value of the Common Shares and/or the Offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company and Selling Shareholder hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by the Underwriters’ independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company and/or Selling Shareholder by any Underwriter’s investment banking division. The Company and Selling Shareholder acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such, from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the Company.

25. Submission to jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such party, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such party, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment. The Company and the Selling Shareholder each irrevocably appoints Xxx Xxxxxxx, Chief Executive Officer, IBEX Limited, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx XX, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to the Company and/or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, by the person serving the same to the address provided in this Section 25, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company and/or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, in any such suit or proceeding. The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby represent and warrant that such authorized agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as such authorized agent for service of process. The Company and the Selling Shareholder further agree to take any and all commercially reasonable action to maintain such designation and appointment of such authorized agent in full force and effect.

26. Recognition of U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) 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.

(b) 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, the “Representatives”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with IBEX Limited, a company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters named in Schedule I of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), including the Representatives, of common shares, par value $0.000111650536 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, he, she or it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (the “Restricted Period”), (1) directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, 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, make any short sale, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” (each within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) with respect to any Common Shares, any options or warrants to purchase any Common Shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Common Shares, (2) enter into any swap, forward contract, hedging transaction or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) file or approve the filing of any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the offering of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, or make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to (other than piggyback registration rights, if any) the registration of any Common Shares or the filing of any registration statement with respect thereto, or (4) publicly disclose or announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1), (2) or (3). The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer by the undersigned of Common Shares except in compliance with this lock-up agreement.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(e)

transfers pursuant to a court or regulatory agency order, a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement, provided that any filing under the Exchange Act or any other public filing or disclosure of such transfer by or on behalf of the undersigned that is required to be made during the Restricted Period as a result of such transfer shall include a statement that such transfer has occurred by operation of law,

(f)

transfers or distributions, if the undersigned is not a natural person, of Common Shares or any security convertible into Common Shares to limited or general partners, members, subsidiaries, shareholders or affiliates of the undersigned to the extent the undersigned is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other business entity,

the exercise of any options to purchase Common Shares or the vesting, award, delivery or settlement of Common Shares and the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of Common Shares thereunder, in each case pursuant to the Company’s share option or equity-based compensation plans that are described in the registration statement and prospectus related to the Public Offering, and sales of such Common Shares in transactions exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act that are issued upon exercise of such options or warrants or such vesting, award, delivery, settlement or receipt in order to pay or provide for any taxes due on such exercise, vesting, delivery, settlement or receipt or to pay the exercise price therefor, provided that, if required, any public report or filing under the Exchange Act will clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the exercise of a share option, that no shares were sold to the public by the reporting person and that the shares received upon exercise of the share option are subject to a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters of the Public Offering or that such dispositions to the Company or withholding by the Company of shares or securities was solely to the Company pursuant to the circumstances described in this clause (g),

(h)	a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Shares that does not in any case provide for the transfer of Common Shares during the Restricted Period;

provided that (i) in the case of any transfer, distribution or issuance pursuant to clause (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) each donee, heir, legatee, trustee, distributee, transferee or recipient shall sign and deliver (or has signed and delivered) a lock‑up letter substantially in the form of this letter for the balance of the Restricted Period, (ii) other than transfers pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (e), (g) or the entering into of a plan pursuant to clause (h), no filing under the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Shares, shall be required or shall voluntarily be made during the Restricted Period, and (iii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of a plan pursuant to clause (h), such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Shares may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period.

The undersigned understands that, if the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (1) this agreement shall be applicable to any issuer-directed shares that the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering, (2) the Representatives will notify the Company at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions, (3) the Company will announce the impending release or waiver by a press release through a major news service announcing such waiver or release, and (4) any release or waiver granted by the Representatives under this agreement will only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this lock-up agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. 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.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.

It is understood that, if (i) the Company notifies the Representatives in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) the Representatives notify the Company that the Underwriters do not intend to proceed with the Public Offering, (iii) the Registration Statement on Form F-1 is withdrawn; (iv) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Shares or (v) the Public Offering is not completed by December 31, 2020, this lock-up agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this lock-up agreement and that upon request, the undersigned will execute and additional documents necessary to ensure the validity or enforcement of this lock-up agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
