2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and

price set forth in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchase Price”).
15
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to
the Underwriters the Option Shares, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to the number of Option Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Option Shares shall be
reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such Option Shares. The Representatives may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to
time in part by giving written notice to the Company not later than 30 calendar days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Exercise Period”); provided that any Option Closing Date (as defined below) shall occur within the Exercise Period. Any such exercise notice shall specify the number of Option
Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date during the Exercise Period on which such shares are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is sent to the Company and may not be
earlier than the closing date for the Firm Shares nor later than ten business days after the date of such exercise notice. On each day, if any, that Option Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Option Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as the Representatives may
reasonably determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Option Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the
total number of Firm Shares.
3. Public Offering. The Company is advised by the Representatives that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the
Shares as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in the Representatives’ judgment is advisable. The Company is further advised by the Representatives that the Shares are to be offered to the public
initially upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against
delivery of such Firm Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters on the closing date and time set forth in Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day
thereafter, as may be designated in writing by the Representatives. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”
Payment for any Option Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such
Option Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 hereof or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any
event not later than the last day of the Exercise Period, as shall be designated in writing by the Representatives.
16
The Firm Shares and the Option Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representatives shall request in writing not
later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be. The Shares shall be delivered to the Representatives on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the

statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly
for use therein.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 8(a) above from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with
reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus,
any issuer free writing prospectus, road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Time
of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information in the third paragraph (related to concessions) and in the seventeenth paragraph (describing stabilization transactions) under the caption
“Underwriting.”
25
(c) In case any
proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 8(a) or 8(b) hereof, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying
party”) in writing; provided, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party in writing shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability that it may have under Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure. If any such proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against an indemnified party and it shall have notified the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred and documented fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding,
any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to
Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees
to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into 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 the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of
such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does
not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
26
(d) To the extent
the indemnification provided for in Sections 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (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 Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(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 8(d)(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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities, 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 Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the
total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on
the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are
several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
27
(f) The
indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate, director or officer of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or
directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representatives to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of the Option Shares, prior to the Option Closing Date, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock
Exchange, the NYSE American, The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Global Select Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter markets, (iii) a material disruption in
securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred
any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the Representatives’ judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause
(v), makes it, in the Representatives’ judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
28
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that
it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one‑tenth of the aggregate number of the
Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set
forth opposite the names of all such non‑defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on
such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant
to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one‑ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares which it or they
have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one‑tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements
satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter or the
Company. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the
Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Option Shares and the aggregate number of Option
Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one‑tenth of the aggregate number of Option Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation
hereunder to purchase the Option Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Option Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default.
Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with
the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9 of this Agreement or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse
the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in
connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the
extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the
conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company
acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those
duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives 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 Shares.
29
12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the
same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or
other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
13. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York.
14. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company and each of the Underwriters hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts
in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and each of the Underwriters waive any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts. The Company and each of the Underwriters agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Company and the Underwriters and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which Company and the Underwriters are subject by a suit upon such judgment.
15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
16. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
17. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)),
the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information
that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
18. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and
directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or
any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any internal or outside counsel to
the Company may rely on any and all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.
30
19. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the Representatives in care

laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under
this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of
the United States or a state of the United States.

Re: Insulet Corporation --- Public Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that you (the “Representatives”), as Representatives of the several Underwriters (as defined below), propose to enter into
an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Insulet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), of shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
A-1
In consideration of the Underwriters’ agreement to purchase and make the Public Offering of the Shares, and for other good and valuable consideration
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 60 days after the date of
the final prospectus supplement relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus Supplement” and such 60-day period, the “Restricted Period”), (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, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter
into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) above or this clause (2) is to be
settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock:
(i) |
pursuant to a trading plan established under Rule 10b5-l (a “10b5-1 Trading Plan”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) of the undersigned in
effect on the date hereof (an “Existing 10b5-1 Trading Plan”), provided that no filing or public announcement shall be voluntarily made and if any
filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act is required to be made, such filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in (i);
|
(ii) |
as a bona fide gift or gifts or by will or intestacy;
|
(iii) |
to an immediate family member of the undersigned or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;
|
(iv) |
if the undersigned is a corporation, to an “affiliate,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”);
|
(v) |
if the undersigned is a limited liability company, to a member or affiliated limited liability company;
|
(vi) |
if the undersigned is a partnership, to a partner or affiliated partnership;
|
(vii) |
if the undersigned is a trust, to its trustees, beneficiaries or settlors;
|
(viii) |
pursuant to operation of law with respect to a domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement;
|
(ix) |
pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency, provided that no filing or public
announcement shall be voluntarily made and if any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act is required to be made, such filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described
herein;
|
A-2
(x) |
to the Company or withholding by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligations (including a cashless exercise) of the Company or the undersigned, or to satisfy the
exercise price of stock options by the undersigned, upon the exercise or vesting of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards or other similar equity incentive awards that have been granted prior to, and are outstanding
as of, the date of the Underwriting Agreement (or are granted after the date of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to a plan or arrangement that is described in the Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying prospectus and is in place
prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement), provided that no filing or public announcement shall be voluntarily made and if any filing under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act is required to be made, such filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described herein;
|
provided that in the case of clauses (ii) through (viii), (A) it shall be a
condition to the transfer that the donee or transferee execute an agreement stating that the donee or transferee is receiving and holding such Common Stock subject to the provisions of this Letter Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of
such Common Stock except in accordance with this Letter Agreement, (B) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (C) no filing or other public announcement by any party (donor, donee, transferor, transferee, pledgor or pledgee)
under the Exchange Act, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5, Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G or other filing made after the expiration of the Restricted Period)
and (D) each party (donor, donee, transferor, transferee, pledgor or pledgee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not
voluntarily make, any public announcement of the transfer or disposition. For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote
than first cousin.
A-3
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may enter into a new 10b5-1 Trading Plan so long as (a) the undersigned will not, during
the Restricted Period, (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, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the
undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter into any
swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or such other securities, 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 or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock and (b) to the extent a public announcement or filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor, transferee, pledgor or pledgee) under the Exchange Act, if any, is required in connection with such entry into a new 10b5-1 Trading Plan,
such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be made during the Restricted Period and no other public announcement shall be voluntarily made in connection with the entry into
such plan and no filing or other public announcement shall be voluntarily made. For the avoidance of doubt, any change to an Existing 10b5-1 Trading Plan solely to replace the plan administrator (with no changes to the termination date of the
Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock and prices at which any such shares of Common Stock may be transferred pursuant to such 10b5-1 Trading Plan) will not be deemed the entry into a new 10b5-1 Trading Plan for purposes of this Letter
Agreement, and any such 10b5-1 Plan, as amended, will constitute an Existing 10b5-1 Trading Plan for purposes of this Letter Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Letter Agreement will prohibit (i) any exercise (including a cashless exercise) of options or warrants
to purchase Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or the conversion or exchange of any equity security held by the undersigned into Common Stock or vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, restricted
stock awards or other similar equity incentive awards that have been granted prior to, and are outstanding as of, the date of the Underwriting Agreement (or are granted after the date of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to a plan or arrangement
that is in place prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement); provided that any Common Stock received upon such exercise, conversion or exchange will be
