Ladies and Gentlemen:

CTO Realty Growth, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement with Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (“Xxxxx Fargo”), and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), for whom Wells Fargo is acting as representative (in such capacity, the “Representative”), with respect to the sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”). The aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be purchased from the Company are called the “Firm Shares.” In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters, upon the terms and conditions stated herein, an option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”). The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Securities.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-267819), which registration statement included a related base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), relating to certain securities, including the Securities. Such registration statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Time of Sale (as defined below), has been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1933 Act Regulations”). The Company will prepare a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations and shall file such prospectus with the Commission prior to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the second SEC Business Day following the date of this Agreement. Any information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of and included in such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the 1933 Act (“Rule 430B”) is referred to as “Rule 430B Information.” Each prospectus used in connection with the offering of Securities that omitted Rule 430B Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” Except where the context otherwise requires, the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Commission (No. 333-267819), on each date and time that such registration statement and any post-effective amendment or amendments thereto became or becomes effective (each, an “Effective Date”), including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and deemed

part of such registration statement, collectively, are herein called the “Registration Statement,” and the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the final Prospectus Supplement, in the form first used by the Company in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities, is herein called the “Prospectus.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information (defined below), the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, as of each Effective Date or the Execution Time (defined below) or the date of the Prospectus, as the case may be (it being understood that the several specific references in this Agreement to documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus are for clarifying purposes only and are not meant to limit the inclusiveness of any other definition herein). For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”), and “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean each free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company in connection with the offering of the Securities. “Time of Sale” shall mean 7:10 p.m., New York, New York time, on November 30, 2022, and “Time of Sale Information” shall mean the most recent preliminary prospectus together with the pricing information set forth on Schedule B hereto and all other information identified in Schedule B hereto.

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “stated” or “described” in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

promptly file such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

6.	Indemnification.

(a)Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, their selling agents and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

(i)against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and attorney’s fees and expenses (collectively “Damages”) (A) 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 thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or the 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 (B) arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii)against any Damages, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;

(iii)against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Damages to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b)Indemnification of Company and its Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and its officers who sign the Registration Statement, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriters, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information or any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use therein as such appears in the Prospectus in (i) the last paragraph on the cover page related to the delivery of the Securities; (ii) the list of Underwriters under the heading “Underwriting” and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities; (iii) the fifth paragraph of text under the heading “Underwriting” related to the public offering price and concessions; and (iv) the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth paragraphs of text under the heading “Underwriting” related to stabilization and syndicate covering transactions.

(c)Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Underwriters and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party; provided, further, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the second proviso to the

preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the indemnifying party (or by the Underwriters in the case of Section 6(b)), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of or based upon such proceeding or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, (B) 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 and (C) the indemnifying party confirms in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgement.

(d)Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

7.	Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is unavailable or insufficient for any reason whatsoever to an indemnified party in respect of any Damages referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement 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 Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, (i) 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 by the Underwriters, on the other hand; (ii) the intent of the parties and

their relative knowledge; (iii) access to information; and (iv) the opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by a pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, the Underwriters shall not 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 the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriters have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any 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 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

8.	Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive.

All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or their affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling the Underwriters, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (b) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

9.	Termination of Agreement.

(a)Termination; General. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then only as to the Additional Shares) (i) if 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 Information or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and all of its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b)Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

(c)Notice of Termination. If the Underwriters elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9, the Company shall be notified promptly by electronic communication to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or by facsimile.

10.	Substitution of Underwriters.

If any Underwriter defaults in its obligation to purchase the number of Firm Shares which it has agreed to purchase under this Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase (in the respective proportions which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of each non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule A hereto bears to the total number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all the non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule A hereto) the Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase (the “Default Securities”); except that the non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Firm Shares if the total number of Firm Shares which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Firm Shares, and any non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule A attached hereto purchasable by it pursuant to the terms of Section 2 hereof. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the non-defaulting Underwriters, and any other underwriters satisfactory to the Underwriters who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase (in such proportions as may be agreed upon among them) all the Default Securities on the terms contained herein. If the non-defaulting Underwriters or the other underwriters satisfactory to the Underwriters do not elect to purchase the Default Securities, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company except for the payment of expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 4 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in Section 6 and Section 7 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have for damages caused by its default. If the other underwriters satisfactory to the Underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Firm Shares of a defaulting Underwriter, either the Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full SEC Business Days in order to effect any changes that may be necessary in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or in any other document or agreement, and to file promptly any amendments or any supplements to the Registration Statement or the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus which in the Underwriters’ opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to the Firm Shares.

11.	Default by the Company.

If the Company shall fail at the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, to sell the number of Securities that it is obligated to sell hereunder, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any nondefaulting party; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the Company from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

12.	Tax Disclosure.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, immediately upon commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company (and each employee,

representative or other agent of the Company) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “tax treatment” is the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the term “tax structure” includes any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby.

This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters and the

Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation.

The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company 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 by any Underwriter’s investment banking division. The Company acknowledge 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.

Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such Specified Court.

Each of the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates), and 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.

As Representative of the Several Underwriters

Re:CTO Realty Growth, Inc.(the “Company”) - Restriction on Stock Sales

Dear Sirs:

This letter is delivered to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company, as issuer, and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC as the representative (the “Representative”) of certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”) to be named therein. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters intend to effect a public offering (the “Offering”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”).

The undersigned recognizes that it is in the best financial interests of the undersigned, as an officer or director, or an owner of stock, options, warrants or other securities of the Company (the “Company Securities”), that the Company complete the proposed Offering.

The undersigned further recognizes that the Company Securities held by the undersigned are, or may be, subject to certain restrictions on transferability, including those imposed by United States federal securities laws. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the undersigned has agreed to enter into this letter agreement to further assure the Underwriters that the Company Securities of the undersigned, now held or hereafter acquired, will not enter the public market at a time that might impair the underwriting effort.

Therefore, as an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Company Securities (collectively, a “Disposition”), or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or otherwise acquire, any Company Securities held by the undersigned or acquired by the undersigned after the date hereof, or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), pursuant to the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

Exhibit A

“Exchange Act”), for a period of 60 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of the Representative, (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the Lock-Up Securities or other Company Securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) exercise or seek to exercise or effectuate in any manner any rights of any nature that the undersigned has or may have hereafter to require the Company to register under the Act the undersigned’s sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Lock-Up Securities or other securities of the Company held by the undersigned, or to otherwise participate as a selling securityholder in any manner in any registration effected by the Company under the Act during the Lock-Up Period. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging, collar (whether or not for any consideration) or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead or result in a Disposition of Lock-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period, even if such Lock-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option or reversal or cancellation thereof) with respect to any Lock-Up Securities or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from Lock-Up Securities.

Notwithstanding the agreement not to make any Disposition during the Lock-Up Period, the Representative has agreed that the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities (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 or if the undersigned is a trust, to any trust beneficiary (including such trust beneficiary’s estate) of the undersigned; (iii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned; (iv) as a distribution to members, limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; (v) to the undersigned’s affiliates; or (vi) with the prior written consent of the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters; provided, however, that in the case of any transfer pursuant to (i), (ii),(iii), (iv) or (v) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the donee, trustee, heir, or other transferee, as the case may be, agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; provided, further, that any transfer pursuant to (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above shall not involve a disposition for value; provided, further, that no filing by the undersigned or any other party (including any donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act or other public announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, held by the undersigned shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer. For purposes of this letter, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

It is understood that, if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares, the Representative will release the undersigned from the obligations under this letter agreement.

Exhibit A

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Lock-Up Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this letter. This letter shall be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.
