extensions thereof (except, in each case, where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and has paid all taxes
required to be paid thereon (except for cases in which the failure to file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, except as currently being contested in

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 warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees,
severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at a purchase price of 97.25% of the principal amount of the Securities (the “Purchase Price”).
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 Optional Securities, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Optional Securities at the Purchase Price, solely to cover

aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such Securities are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least two business days after the written notice is given and may not be
earlier than the Closing Date nor later than ten business days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that if an exercise notice is delivered prior to the Closing Date, then the purchase date for such notice shall be the Closing Date. On
each day, if any, that Optional Securities are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the principal
amount of Optional Securities (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractions of $1,000) that bears the same proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the principal amount of
Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities.
3. Terms of Public Offering. The Company is advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Securities as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as
in your judgment is advisable. The Company is further advised by you that the Securities are to be initially offered on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
12
4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Securities shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City

Securities of one or more global notes representing the Securities (collectively, the “Global Note”), at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2021 or at
such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter as shall be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Global Note will be made available for inspection to the Managers at least twenty-four hours prior to the Closing Date.
Payment for any Optional Securities shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against
delivery to DTC or its designated custodian for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Optional Securities of a Global Note , at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section

8. Indemnity and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and
each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as
defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”) or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information furnished shall be (a) the table following the first
paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, setting forth the names of the Underwriters and number of Firm Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter; (b) the fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the
Prospectus, concerning the terms of the offering by the Underwriters; and (c) paragraphs sixteen and seventeen under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, relating to stabilizing transactions, short sales, purchases to cover positions
created by short sales and the imposition of penalty bids by the Underwriters (the “Underwriter Information”).
19
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriters, but only
with reference to the Underwriter Information.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought
pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and 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 fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to
the retention of such counsel, (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 or (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest. 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 the Managers, 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. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and 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.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 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 indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand
from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 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 Section 8(d)(i) above
but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities
shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters,
as such net proceeds received by the Company and total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters are set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “Underwriting”, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the
Securities. The relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand or by the indemnified party or parties on the other hand 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 aggregate principal amount of
Securities they have purchased hereunder and not joint.
20
(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 legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties 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 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 Securities.
9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by
notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (a) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the Commission, the
New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange), the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the Nasdaq Global Market, (b) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (c) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (d) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York
state authorities or (e) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other
event specified in this clause (e), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to this Section 9, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket accountable expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred
by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
21
10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall
become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
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
Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth
of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective
names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities 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 principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Securities and the
principal amount of Firm Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the
purchase of such Firm Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate. In the event of such termination, the Company shall not have any liability to any Underwriter (except to the extent provided in Sections
6(l) and 8 hereof) nor shall any Underwriter (other than an Underwriter who shall have failed otherwise than for some reason permitted under this Agreement to purchase the amount of Firm Securities agreed by such Underwriter to be purchased hereunder)
be under any liability to the Company (except to the extent provided under Sections 6(l) and 8 hereof). In any such case either you 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 Optional Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities to be purchased on such Option
Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (a) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Optional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (b) purchase not less than the principal amount of Optional
Securities 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 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 if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (unless such failure to comply or inability to perform is due primarily to any default of any
Underwriter), 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 accountable expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their
counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
22
11. Entire Agreement.
(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement
between the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the
Securities.
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms’ 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 Securities.
12. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company hereby irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
13. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. In the event
that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be
effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(a) 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.
(b) For purposes of this Section 13, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the
meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term
is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in
accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the
regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
23
14. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of electronic communication), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto
were upon the same instrument.
15. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the state of New York. The Company agrees that any suit or
proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and
County of New York, and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
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.

The undersigned understands that X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and SVB Leerink LLC, as representatives of the Underwriters (as defined below) (the
“Representatives”), propose to enter into (i) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Common Stock
Underwriting Agreement”) with Insmed Incorporated, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Common Stock Offering”) by the several Underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”), of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) an Underwriting Agreement (the “Note Underwriting Agreement”), providing for the purchase (the “Note Offering” and
together with the Common Stock Offering, the “Offerings”) of senior notes of the Company convertible into shares of Common Stock.
A-1
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Offerings to continue their efforts in connection with the Offerings, the undersigned
hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof through the 60th day after the date of the final prospectus relating to
the Offerings (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, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock 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 Common Stock as a bona fide
gift or by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession, (b) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to limited partners, members, stockholders, or wholly-owned subsidiaries of the undersigned,
(c) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock pursuant to any order or settlement agreement not involving any public sale of shares of Common Stock or other securities and approved by any court of competent
jurisdiction, (d) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (e) transfers of shares of Common Stock
or any security convertible into Common Stock to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity of which all of the beneficial ownership interests are held by the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;
provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (a)-(e), (i) each donee, distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver to the Representatives a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter, (ii) no public
announcement or filing by any party (the undersigned, donor, donee, distributor, distributee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, any Section 16(a) filing, shall be required or voluntarily made in
connection with such transfer or distribution and (iii) any such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value, (f) the establishment of a new trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “10b5-1 trading plan”) providing for dispositions or sales of Common Stock; provided that such plan does not permit dispositions or sales of shares of Common Stock or any
security convertible into Common Stock during the Restricted Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, (g) transfers of shares of
Common Stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan entered into prior to the date of this agreement; provided that to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act is required for such transfer, such announcement or filing shall include
a statement to the effect that the transfer was made pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan, (h) the exercise of options or other stock-based awards to purchase Common Stock or vesting of restricted stock units or other stock-based awards outstanding as of
the date hereof or granted under equity incentive plans or pursuant to inducement awards in effect as of the date hereof or described in the registration statement with respect to each of the Offerings; provided that the underlying Common Stock
continues to be subject to the terms of this agreement, (i) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to
holders of the Common Stock involving a change of control of the Company; provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed during the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall remain
subject to the restrictions contained herein during such period, (j) the repurchase by the Company or forfeiture of securities to the Company in connection with termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company, and (k) the settlement of
restricted stock, restricted stock units, options or other stock-based awards on a “net” basis or any other withholding of shares of Common Stock by the Company upon vesting and/or settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock units, options or
other stock-based awards; provided that (x) the underlying shares of Common Stock received by the undersigned shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this agreement and (y) any such settled or withheld shares are
surrendered to the Company in the net exercise; provided further, in each case (a) through (f) and (h) through (k), that the undersigned shall provide you two days’ advance notice of such transfers, distributions, plan establishments, exercises,
repurchases, forfeitures, settlements or withholdings, as applicable.
A-2
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not,
during the Restricted Period, 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. The undersigned also agrees and
consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the
Offerings. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
Whether or not either the Common Stock Offering or the Note Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market
conditions. The Common Stock Offering and Note Offering will only be made pursuant to the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and Note Underwriting Agreement, respectively, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the
Underwriters. If (i) the closing of both Offerings have not occurred prior to June 30, 2021, (ii) the Company notifies you in writing prior to the date of the execution of each of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and the Note Underwriting
Agreement that it does not intend to proceed with both Offerings, (iii) prior to the date of the execution of each of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and the Note Underwriting Agreement, the registration statement filed with respect to each of
the Common Stock Offering and the Note Offering is withdrawn or (iv) for any reason each of the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and the Note Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the respective Closing Date (as defined in each of the
Common Stock Underwriting Agreement and Note Underwriting Agreement), this agreement shall be of no further force or effect.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws
principles thereof.

Settlement Upon Conversion:
|
Upon conversion of a note, the Issuer will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash,
shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at its election. If the Issuer elects to satisfy its conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of
cash and shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a daily conversion value (as defined in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) calculated on a
proportionate basis for each VWAP trading day (as defined in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) in a 40 consecutive VWAP trading day observation period (as defined in the Convertible Note Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement).
