The foregoing will not apply to (A) the registration of the offer and sale of the Shares, and the sale of the Shares to the Underwriter, in each case as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, (B) the sale of Shares acquired in open market transactions by the undersigned after completion of the Offering; provided that no public disclosure or filing of such sale under the Exchange Act shall be required, or made voluntarily until after the Lock-Up Period, or (C) the forfeiture of Shares or Related Securities to the Company in satisfaction of withholding tax obligations; provided that if the undersigned is required to file a report under the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares or Related Securities during the Lock-up

each transferee executes and delivers to the Underwriter an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriter stating that such transferee is receiving and holding such Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee had been an original signatory hereto), and
prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares in connection with such transfer other than a filing on Form 5 made when required or Form 4, if required, in connection with the transfer to the subsidiary, partners, members or stockholders of such entity.
The foregoing will not apply to (i) the establishment of a 10b5-1 trading plan or the modification of an existing 10b5-1 trading plan during the Lock-up Period; provided that (a) no transactions thereunder may be made until after the expiration of the Lock-up Period and (b) no public disclosure of such plan modification under the Exchange Act shall be required, or made voluntarily until after the Lock-Up Period or (ii) any third-party pledge in a bona fide transaction as collateral to secure the obligations pursuant to lending or other arrangements between such third parties (or their affiliates or designees) and the undersigned and its affiliates; provided that no public disclosure or filing of such third-party pledge under the Exchange Act shall be required, or made voluntarily until after the Lock-Up Period; provided, that any such pledgee or other party shall, upon foreclosure on the pledged Shares, executes and delivers to the Underwriter an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriter stating that such transferee is receiving and holding such Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee had been an original signatory hereto).
