No representation and warranty is made in this Section 1(d) with respect to any information contained in or omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein. The parties hereto agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative consists solely of the material referred to in Section 19 hereof.

All material registrations and applications for Owned Intellectual Property that is registered with a governmental authority are unexpired and have not been abandoned in any applicable jurisdiction, except for registrations

and applications that the Company has decided to abandon or otherwise let lapse in its business judgment. The Company and its subsidiaries have not received any notice of any claim of infringement or misappropriation of the Intellectual Property rights of others that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have taken reasonable measures consistent with industry standards to protect the confidentiality of their material trade secrets and confidential or proprietary information (including the source code for all material proprietary software). No such material trade secrets or information (including source code) has ever been disclosed or released to any third party (except pursuant to reasonable confidentiality obligations) and to the Company’s knowledge no event has occurred, and no circumstances or conditions exist (including the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) will, or would reasonably be expected to, result in the disclosure or release thereof to a third party. To the Company’s knowledge, all such trade secrets and information (including source code) which has not been patented is and has been kept confidential. There is and has been no infringement, misappropriation, or other violation (i) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (including by the operation of its respective business or its products or services) of any Intellectual Property rights of any third party or (ii) by third parties of any Owned Intellectual Property, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding, or claim either (x) challenging (A) the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries rights in or to any Company Intellectual Property or (B) the validity, enforceability, scope, ownership, or use of any Owned Intellectual Property, or (y) alleging any infringement, misappropriation, or other violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other Intellectual Property right of any third party, in the case of clause (y), that would result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ material proprietary software contains, incorporates, includes or is linked to, derived from, embedded with or distributed with any “copyleft” or similar software in any manner that would require that any source code for such material proprietary software that is distributed to third parties by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to be disclosed, licensed, or distributed to others.

(ff) There has been no loss, damage, or unauthorized access, disclosure, use, or breach of security of any Company or its subsidiaries information in their possession, custody, or control, or otherwise held or processed on their behalf that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have implemented, and required of their third party vendors, adequate policies and commercially reasonable security controls regarding the collection, use, disclosure, retention, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal and business sensitive information in their possession, custody, or control, or held or processed on their behalf, and regarding the integrity and availability of the information technology the Company and its subsidiaries own, operate, or outsource.

(gg) The Company and its subsidiaries maintain insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company reasonably considers adequate for the conduct of its business and the value of its properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, all of which insurance is in full force and effect, except where the failure to maintain such insurance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material claims by the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any such

policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause.

Any certificate signed by or on behalf of a Selling Stockholder and delivered to the Representative or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Selling Stockholder to each Underwriter as to the matters covered thereby.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Shares.

(a) On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Selling Stockholders agree, severally and not jointly, to sell to each Underwriter and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Selling Stockholders, at a purchase price per share of $7.05, the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule I hereto together with any additional number of Shares which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make.

(b) The closing of the issuance of the Firm Shares shall be held at the office of Proskauer Rose LLP (“Underwriters’ Counsel”), or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on July 26, 2018, or such other time and date as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called the “Closing Date”). Payment of the purchase price for the Firm Shares shall be made by wire transfer in same day funds to the accounts specified by the Selling Stockholders upon delivery of the Firm Shares to the Representative through the facilities of DTC for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters. The Firm Shares shall be registered in such name or names and shall be in such denominations as the Representative may request in writing not later than the business day immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(c) In addition, the Selling Stockholders hereby grant to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, the option to purchase up to 468,922 Additional Shares at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters for the Firm Shares as set forth in Section 3(a) above. This option may be exercised at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part on one or more occasions, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice from the Representative to the Company and the Selling Stockholders. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time, as reasonably determined by the Representative, when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (any such date and time being herein sometimes referred to as an “Additional Closing Date”); provided, however, that no Additional Closing Date shall occur earlier than the Closing Date or earlier than the second full business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the eighth full business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon any

exercise of the option as to all or any portion of the Additional Shares, each Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Selling Stockholders the number of Additional Shares that bears the same proportion of the total number of Additional Shares then being purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto (or such number increased as set forth in Section 11 hereof) bears to the total number of Firm Shares that the Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make. In the event that the Underwriters exercise less than their full option to purchase Additional Shares, the number of Additional Shares to be sold by each Selling Stockholder listed on Schedule II shall be, as nearly as practicable, in the same proportion as the maximum number of Additional Shares to be sold by each Selling Stockholder and the number of Additional Shares to be sold.

(d) The closing of the issuance of the Additional Shares shall be held at the office of Underwriters’ Counsel, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on any Additional Closing Date, or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company.

The Additional Shares shall be registered in such name or names and shall be in such denominations as the Representative may request in writing not later than the business day immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) If at any time when a prospectus relating to the Shares (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package (prior to the availability of the Prospectus) or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, in the judgment of the Underwriters or the Company, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time of delivery of such Pricing Disclosure Package or Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) to the purchaser, not misleading, or if to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Rules and Regulations it shall be necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, or to file any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, the Company will notify you promptly and prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment, supplement or document (in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative) that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, and will use its reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as possible.

9. Indemnification.

(a) The Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, 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 (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (B) in any other materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the Offering, including in any Road Show for the Offering (“Marketing Materials”), or the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, or in any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or in any Marketing Materials, a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company and the Selling Stockholders will not be liable in any such

case to the extent but only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 Representative expressly for use therein; and provided further that the Selling Stockholders will only be liable to the extent and only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omissions or alleged omissions made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information. The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative consists solely of the material referred to in Section 19 hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have, including but not limited to other liability under this Agreement; provided, however, that in no case shall any Selling Stockholder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of an amount equal to the public offering price of the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters hereunder.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the directors of the Company, each of the officers of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each Selling Stockholder and each person who controls such Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, 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 (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any related Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. The parties agree that such information provided by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative consists solely of the material referred to in Section 19 hereof.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of any claims or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 9 to the extent that it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof or otherwise has notice of any such action, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability that such indemnifying party may have otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement hereunder). In case any such claim or action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate, at its own expense in the defense of such action, and to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, (iii) the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, or (iv) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties hereof, then, in addition to the fees and expenses of such counsel for the indemnified parties, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened claim, investigation, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought by an indemnified party under this Section 9 or Section 10 hereof (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, investigation, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or any failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

10. Contribution. In order to provide for contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 9 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable from any indemnifying party or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, the Company and the Selling Stockholders, severally, and the Underwriters, severally, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnification provision (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting in the case of losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses suffered by the Company or the Selling Stockholders, any

contribution received by the Company or the Selling Stockholders from persons, other than the Underwriters, who may also be liable for contribution, including persons who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company) as incurred to which the Company, the Selling Stockholders and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject, in such proportions as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the Offering or, if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportions as are appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the underwriting discount and commissions received by the Underwriters on the other, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares as set in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any judicial, regulatory or other legal or governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the discounts and commissions applicable to the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of an amount equal to the public offering price of the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriters hereunder, and (iii) 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 10, each of the Underwriter’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section

15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of 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 clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 10 or otherwise. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares to be purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.

11. Underwriter Default.

(a) If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligation to purchase Firm Shares or Additional Shares hereunder, and if the Firm Shares or Additional Shares with respect to which such default relates (the “Default Shares”) do not (after giving effect to arrangements, if any, made by the Representative pursuant to subsection (b) below) exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, each non-defaulting Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Selling Stockholders that number of Default Shares that bears the same proportion of the total number of Default Shares then being purchased as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of the non-defaulting Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make.

(b) In the event that the aggregate number of Default Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for itself or for another party or parties (including any non-defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters who so agree) to purchase the Default Shares on the terms contained herein. In the event that within five calendar days after such a default the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of the Default Shares as provided in this Section 11, this Agreement or, in the case of a default with respect to the Additional Shares, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Selling Stockholders to sell the Additional Shares shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of the Company and the Selling Stockholders with respect thereto (except in each case as provided in Sections 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13(d)) or the Underwriters, but nothing in this Agreement shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters of its or their liability, if any, to the other Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders for damages occasioned by its or their default hereunder.

(c) In the event that any Default Shares are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Additional Closing Date, as the case may be for a period, not exceeding five business days, in order to effect

whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which, in the opinion of Underwriters’ Counsel, may thereby be made necessary or advisable. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 11 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Firm Shares and Additional Shares.

12. Survival of Representations and Agreements. All representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or the Selling Stockholders submitted pursuant hereto, including the agreements contained in Section 7, the indemnity agreements contained in Section 9 and the contribution agreements contained in Section 10, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or Selling Stockholder or any controlling person thereof or by or on behalf of the Company, any of its officers and directors or any controlling person thereof, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares to and by the Underwriters. The representations contained in Section 1 and Section 2 and the agreements contained in Sections 7, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 18 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including termination pursuant to Section 11 or 13 hereof.

13. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

(b) The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Closing Date or to terminate the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Additional Shares at any time prior to any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, if, at or after the Applicable Time, (i) any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representative will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the market for the Company’s securities or securities in general; or (ii) trading on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or Nasdaq shall have been suspended or been made subject to material limitations, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on the NYSE or Nasdaq or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) a banking moratorium has been declared by any state or federal authority or any material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services shall have occurred; or (iv) (A) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or there is a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or (B) there shall have been any other calamity or crisis or any change in political, financial or economic conditions if the effect of any such event in (A) or (B), in the judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale and delivery of the Firm Shares or the Additional Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus; or (v) any of the events described in Sections 8(f) or 8(g) shall have occurred or the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Shares for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

(d) If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to any of the provisions hereof (other than pursuant to Section 13(b)(i)), or if the sale of the Shares provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof, the Company will, subject to demand by the Representative, reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel), incurred by the Underwriters in connection herewith; provided, however, that in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 11 hereof, only the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be entitled to receive such reimbursement.

14. Research Analyst Independence. The Company acknowledges that 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 that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the Offering that differ from the views of personnel in their respective investment banking divisions. 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 their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by personnel in such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company 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 companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Selling Stockholders each acknowledge and agree that (a) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the initial public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the Offering and the process leading thereto, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of the Selling Stockholders, or their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Stockholder with respect to the Offering or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any Selling Stockholder on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or any Selling Stockholder with respect to the Offering except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company or any Selling Stockholder, (e) any duties and obligations that the Underwriters may have to the Company or any Selling Stockholder shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein and (f) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the Offering and the Company and each Selling Stockholder has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

16. Notices. All communications hereunder, except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, shall be in writing, and:

Attention: [ 🌑 ]

Xxxxxxx Broadcast Group, Inc. Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) relates to the proposed public offering (the “Offering”) by Xxxxxxx Broadcast Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the selling stockholders named in Schedule II (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”), as representative of the underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), the Company and the Selling Stockholders, of shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Stock”).

In order to induce you and the other underwriters for which you act as representative to underwrite the Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Guggenheim, during the period from the date hereof until 90 days from the date of the final prospectus for the Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned (a) will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, borrow or otherwise dispose of, any Relevant Security (as defined below), and (b) will not establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” with respect to any Relevant Security (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of a Relevant Security, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Relevant Securities, other securities, cash or other consideration. As used herein “Relevant Security” means the Stock and any security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any Stock.

The undersigned hereby further agrees that, without the prior written consent of Guggenheim, during the Lock-Up Period the undersigned (x) will not file or participate in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of any registration statement, or circulate or participate in the circulation of any preliminary or final prospectus or other disclosure document with respect to any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security and (y) will not exercise any rights the undersigned may have to require registration with the SEC of any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) Guggenheim it its sole discretion may agree to release or waive the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock and, in its sole discretion, may provide the Company with notice of such release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock, and (ii) if Guggenheim in its sole discretion agrees to release or waive the foregoing restrictions and provides 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 has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement, if requested by Guggenheim, to announce the impending release or waiver by issuing a press release through a major news service (as referred to in FINRA Rule 5131(d)(2)(B)) at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by Guggenheim hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if both (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration, and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter that are applicable to the transferor, to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(a)

transfers by the undersigned to the Underwriters in connection with the Offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement;

(b)

the transfer of Relevant Securities (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession, (iii) to a Family Member (as defined below), (iv) to a trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or one or more Family Members, (v) pursuant to a domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree, separation agreement or pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction enforcing such agreement, (vi) to a charitable trust, or (vii) to a corporation, limited liability company or partnership wholly owned by the undersigned and/or one or more Family Members;

(c)

the surrender or forfeiture of shares of Relevant Securities to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon exercise or vesting of stock options or equity awards granted by the Company pursuant to employee benefit plans or arrangements described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus relating to the Offering, where any Stock received by the undersigned upon any such exercise or vesting will be subject to the terms of this Agreement;

(d)

distributions of Relevant Securities to limited partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned or, if the undersigned is a trust, to the beneficiary of such trust or to a revocable trust established by the beneficiary;

(e)

transactions relating to Relevant Securities acquired in open market transactions after the closing of the Offering; and

(f)

the transfer of Relevant Securities pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Stock involving a change of control of the Company that has been approved by the Company’s board of directors; provided that if such a transaction is not completed, the Relevant Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement.

It shall be a further condition to any transfer or distribution pursuant to the preceding clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) that no public disclosure or filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act, or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-up Period).

It shall be a condition to any transfer or distribution pursuant to each of the preceding clauses (b) or (d) that (x) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (y) each resulting transferee or donee of Relevant Securities executes and delivers to you an agreement satisfactory to you in which such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for the remainder of the Lock-Up Period.

For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Family Member” shall mean any relationship by blood, domestic partnership, marriage or adoption not more remote than first cousin.

In addition, the restrictions described in this letter agreement shall not apply to the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that no transfers occur under such plan during the Lock-up Period and no public announcement or filing shall be required or voluntarily made by any person in connection therewith other than general disclosure in Company periodic reports to the effect that Company directors and officers may enter into such trading plans from time to time.

The undersigned hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Relevant Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the record holder.

It is understood that, if (i) the Company or all of the Selling Stockholders notify the Underwriters that it or they do not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Stock, or (iv) the closing of the sale of the Stock to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement has not occurred prior to August 31, 2018, the undersigned will be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters will proceed with the Offering in reliance on this Agreement.

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

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with enforcement hereof. Any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the undersigned from the date first above written.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Delivery of a signed copy of this letter by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of the original hereof.

Very truly yours,

By:
