1. Representations and Warranties. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.

(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission a Registration Statement (file number 333-177052) on Form S-3, including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Securities Act of the offering and sale of shares of Common Stock, including the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments or supplements thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, has become effective. The Company may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more prospectuses or preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been filed with the Commission on XXXXX. The Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required to be contained therein by the Securities Act and the rules thereunder and shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Disclosure Package) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein.

(i) The Company shall have requested and caused KPMG to have furnished to the Representatives, (i) at the Execution Time, a comfort letter dated the date hereof addressed to the Underwriters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, and (ii) on the Closing Date, a letter dated such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished by them pursuant the preceding clause (i), except that the specified date referred to therein for the carryout of procedures shall be no more than three business days prior to such date.

(j) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package and Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), there shall not have been any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package, Prospectus and Registration Statement (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof).

8. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof, or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Selling Stockholder to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. If the Company is required to make any payments to the Underwriters under this Section 8 because of any Selling Stockholder’s refusal, inability or failure to satisfy any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 7, the Selling Stockholders pro rata in proportion to the percentage of Securities to be sold by each shall reimburse the Company on demand for all amounts so paid.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Indemnified Parties”) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating Partnership will 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 any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described in the last sentence of Section 9(c) below. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have.

(b) Each Selling Stockholder, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter Indemnified Parties to the extent and in the manner set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that each Selling Stockholder shall be liable only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with such Selling Stockholder’s Selling Stockholder Information.

(c) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each Selling Stockholder, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnities, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge that the statements set forth in (i) the last paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus regarding the delivery of the Securities and (ii) the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, the first paragraph under “—Commission and Expenses” and the information under “—Stabilization” and “—Electronic Distribution” under the heading “Underwriting” in such prospectus supplement constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but 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 shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded 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, (iii) 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 the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders shall, in connection with any action or related actions in the same jurisdiction, bear the fees, costs and expenses of only one such separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriter Indemnified Parties; provided, however, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) if the use of only one separate counsel for all the Underwriter Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest with respect to one or more of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding 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.

(e) An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 9 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 this Section 9 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.

(f) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c)of this Section 9 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party for any reason, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Selling Stockholders and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and by the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that, in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, the intent of the parties, and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (f), 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. For purposes of this Section 9, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject, in each case, to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (f).

(g) The liability of each Selling Stockholder under such Selling Stockholder’s representations and warranties contained in Sections 1 and 2 hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting commissions and discounts, but before expenses, to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each shall be responsible.

10. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities 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 that the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that, in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of Securities 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 Securities, and, if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Selling Stockholders. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, 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 Operating Partnership, the Selling Stockholders and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

11. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if, at any time prior to such delivery and payment, (a) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE or Nasdaq shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange; (b) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by federal or New York State authorities; or (c) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

12. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Selling Stockholders or the Company’s officers and of the Underwriters set forth in 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 or the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Selling Stockholders or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

13. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed or delivered to: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.

14. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

15. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders hereby acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Securities (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other hand, and the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, the Operating Partnership, any of the Selling Stockholders or any other person; (b) the Underwriters owe the Company, the Operating Partnership and each Selling Stockholder only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (c) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company, the Operating Partnership and each Selling Stockholder, (d) none of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person, (e) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders; and (f) the Company’s and Selling Stockholders’ engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders agree that they are solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Selling Stockholders on related or other matters). The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. The Company, the Operating Partnership and each Selling Shareholder waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

Each Selling Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide certain Selling Stockholders with certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to any Selling Stockholder to participate in the offering or sell any Securities at the purchase price, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

16. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

18. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Selling Stockholders hereby irrevocably waive, 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated on or about August 3, 2020, between CoreSite Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), CoreSite, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), the selling stockholders named therein (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) and you (the “Underwriter”), providing for the secondary offering (the “Offering”) by you of shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

In order to induce you to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees that, for so long as the undersigned is an employee or director of the Company or would be required to report a disposition under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (but in any case for no longer than the restricted period or any extension thereof), without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 30 days (the “restricted period”) after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether at the option of the Company or the undersigned); or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock by bona fide gift, will or intestacy, (b) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock to general or limited partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned and partnerships or limited liability companies for the benefit of the immediate family of the undersigned and the partners and members of which are only the undersigned and the immediate family of the undersigned, (c) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (d) disposition of operating partnership units of the Operating Partnership to the Company or the Operating Partnership, provided, that any shares of Common Stock issued in exchange therewith remain subject to the restrictions of the foregoing sentence for the duration of the restricted period; (e) dispositions of shares of Common Stock (A) solely in an amount necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock, the vesting of restricted shares of Common Stock or the settling of restricted shares of Common Stock, provided that the related Form 4 notes in a footnote that such transfer was undertaken solely to satisfy tax obligations, or (B) in connection with the rights of the Company to cause the undersigned to sell shares of Common Stock in effect on the date hereof, (f) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of Common Stock during the restricted period and no filing or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period by the undersigned or the Company as a result of the establishment of any such plan, (g) the transfer of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that was in effect as of, and only shares scheduled for sale thereunder on, the date of the Underwriting Agreement, (h) the transfer of shares of Common Stock (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock sold by the Selling Stockholders in the Offering) in an aggregate amount not to exceed, together with all shares of Common Stock transferred by the Company’s executive officers and directors subject to a “lock-up” in connection with the Offering, 125,000 shares of Common Stock (which aggregate amount shall not be deemed to include transfers of shares of Common Stock by any such directors or executive officers in reliance upon any other clause hereof), (i) dispositions of shares of Common Stock solely in an amount necessary to satisfy the cashless exercise of options to purchase Common Stock, provided that the net shares of Common Stock issued to the undersigned following such disposition remain subject to this agreement or (j) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock to a tax-exempt non-profit organization (but, for the avoidance of doubt, in an aggregate amount not to exceed, together with sales by the undersigned during any 90-day period, the volume permitted to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to Rule 144(e) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and provided, further that such transfers shall not be voluntarily reported under Section 16(a) or Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (j), (1) each donee, distributee, trustee or transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter and (2) no filing under Section 16(a) or Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period (other than a Form 5 when required).

If for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), the agreement set forth above shall likewise be terminated.

	Yours very truly,
