agreed to purchase. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Jefferies LLC and BMO Capital Markets Corp., individually and not as representatives of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the Purchase Price for the Securities to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Date, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

(d)Delivery of Securities. Delivery of the Initial Securities and any Option Securities shall be made through the facilities of DTC unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

SECTION 3.Covenants of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(a)Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests.The Company and the Operating Partnership, subject toSection 3(b) hereof, will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B and Rule 433 and will notify the Representatives promptly (i) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become effective, or when any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission (and shall promptly furnish the Representatives with a copy of any comment letters and/or summary of any oral comments, and shall furnish the Representatives with copies of any written responses thereto a reasonable amount of time prior to the proposed filing thereof with the Commission), (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing or any notice from the Commission objecting to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or of the loss or suspension of any exemption from any such qualification, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Securities Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if either of the Company or the Operating Partnership becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Securities. The Company and the Operating Partnership will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and the suspension or loss of any qualification of the Securities for offering or sale and any loss or suspension of any exemption from any such qualification, and if any such stop order is issued, or any such suspension or loss occurs, to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest reasonably practicable moment. The Company and the Operating Partnership shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the Securities Act Regulations, subject to the proviso therein, and

otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Securities Act Regulations, except to the extent such filing fees have been paid prior to the date hereof.

(b)Filing of Amendments. The Company and the Operating Partnership will give the Representatives notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment, supplement or revision to any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, whether pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise, and the Company and the Operating Partnership will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents within a reasonable time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters reasonably shall object. The Company and the Operating Partnership have given the Representatives notice of any filings made pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Regulations within a reasonable time prior to the Applicable Time; the Company and the Operating Partnership will give the Representatives notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable Time through the Closing Date (or, if later, through the end of the period during which the Prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) to be delivered by applicable law (whether to meet the requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise) and will furnish the Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable time prior to such proposed filing, as the case may be, and will not make any discretionary filing pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Regulations prior to the Closing Date to which the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters reasonably shall object. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not limit the ability of the Company or the Operating Partnership to make any required filing pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Regulations if such filing is required by the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Regulations to be filed prior to the Closing Date.

(c)Delivery of Registration Statements.The Company and the Operating Partnership have furnished or will deliver to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof) and copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Representatives will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted byRegulation S-T.

(d)Delivery of Prospectuses.The Company and the Operating Partnership have delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and any amendments or supplements thereto as such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company and the Operating Partnership hereby consent to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the Securities Act. The Company and the Operating Partnership will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be

required) to be delivered by applicable law (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), such number of copies of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing as such Underwriter may reasonably request. Each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing furnished to the Underwriters were and will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted byRegulation S-T.

(e)Continued Compliance with Securities Laws.The Company and the Operating Partnership will comply with the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations, the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) by the applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities (whether to meet the request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary (or if the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall notify the Company and the Operating Partnership that, in their judgment, it is necessary) to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or, in each case, any documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading or if it is necessary (or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall notify the Company and the Operating Partnership that, in their judgment, it is necessary) to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or, in each case, any documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations, the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Regulations, the Company and the Operating Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives of such event or condition and of its intention to file such amendment or supplement (or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall have notified the Company and the Operating Partnership as aforesaid, the Company and the Operating Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives of its intention to prepare such amendment or supplement) and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject toSection 3(b) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, and, in the case of an amendment or port-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, the Company and the Operating Partnership will use its best efforts to have such amendment declared or become effective as soon as practicable and the Company and the Operating Partnership will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If at any time an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement or if an event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary (or if the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall

notify the Company and the Operating Partnership that, in their judgment, it is necessary) to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus so that it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading, or if it is necessary (or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall notify the Company and the Operating Partnership that, in their judgment, it is necessary) to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, the Company and the Operating Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives of such event or condition and of its intention to file such amendment or supplement (or, if the Representatives or counsel for the Underwriters shall have notified the Company and the Operating Partnership as aforesaid, the Company and the Operating Partnership will promptly notify the Representatives of its intention to prepare such amendment or supplement) and will promptly prepare and, if required by the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations, file with the Commission, subject toSection 3(b) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, and the Company and the Operating Partnership will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

(f)Blue Sky and Other Qualifications.The Company and the Operating Partnership will use their best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Securities to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Representatives may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities (but in no event for not less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Company and the Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so qualified or exempt, the Company and the Operating Partnership will file such statements and reports to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Securities.

(g)Rule 158.The Company and the Operating Partnership will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Underwriters the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(ii) file or cause the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company other than a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register Common Stock pursuant to Plans described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or

(iii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company,

whether any transaction described in clause (i) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other capital stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each member of the management of the Company and each member of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right to sell an aggregate of 35,000 shares beginning on the 46th day after the date of this Agreement without any consent of the Representatives.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company may, without the prior written consent of the Representatives:

(4) issue OP Units in connection with an acquisition, merger or purchase of properties or other assets,

provided, however, (i) in the case of any issuance described in clause (3) above, it shall be a condition to the issuance that each recipient executes and delivers to the Representatives, not later than one business day prior to the date of such issuance, a written agreement, in substantially the form ofExhibit C to this Agreement and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives, and (ii) in the case of any issuance described in clause (4) above, (a) it shall be a condition to the issuance that such OP Units shall be exchangeable for no more than 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the offering of Securities contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) it shall be a condition to the issuance that no OP Units issued pursuant to clause (4) above shall be exchanged for shares of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period.

(k)Reporting Requirements.The Company and the Operating Partnership, during the period when the Prospectus is required (or, but for the provisions of Rule 172, would be required) by applicable law to be delivered (whether to meet the request of investors pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act.

qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for each of its taxable years for so long as the Board of Directors deems it in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to remain so qualified. The Company and the Operating Partnership will use their best efforts to enable the Operating Partnership to be treated as a partnership or an entity disregarded as separate from the Company for federal income tax purposes and not as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of section 7704(b) of the Code that is treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

(p)Compliance with Laws. Until the offering of the Securities is complete, the Company will (1) comply with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations and the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Regulations and (2) file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation or at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Supplemental Offering Materials, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary 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 such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Operating Partnership by such Underwriter specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished on behalf of each of the Underwriters consists of the fourth paragraph appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (the “Underwriter Content”).

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party underSection 6(a) or6(b) above, notify, in writing, the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party underSection 6(a) or6(b) above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of material substantive rights and defenses. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which counsel shall not, without the consent of the indemnified party, also be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant toSection 6 hereof, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant toSection 6(a) hereof in respect to such action or proceeding, then, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action 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 (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party, and (iii) does not include any undertaking or obligation to act or to refrain from acting by the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (as specified inSection 6 hereof), such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by thisSection 6(c) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 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 45 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party (as specified in thisSection 6(c)) all amounts reasonably owed in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party underSection 6(a) or6(b) above for any reason, then each indemnifying party (with respect to the Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally) shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to inSection 6(a) or6(b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters under this Agreement. The relative fault 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 Operating Partnership or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the first sentence of thisSection 6(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of thisSection 6(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of thisSection 6(d), no Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among Underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. 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 Underwriters’ obligations in thisSection 6(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective obligations and not joint. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or another method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Operating Partnership under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Operating Partnership may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each affiliate, partner, member, director, officer, employee or agent of any Underwriter and any person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company and the Operating Partnership, to each officer and to each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Operating Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

SECTION 7.Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates signed by any officer of the Company and the Operating Partnership or any of the Subsidiaries (whether signed on behalf of such officer, the Company and the Operating Partnership or such subsidiary) and delivered to the Representatives or counsel to the Underwriters, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any officer, director, employee, partner, member or agent of any Underwriter or any person

controlling any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership, any officer, director or employee of the Company or the Operating Partnership or any person controlling the Company or the Operating Partnership, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 8.Termination of Agreement.

(a)Termination; General.The Representatives may terminate this Agreement only as to such Underwriter by written notice to the Company and the other Underwriters, as hereinafter specified at any time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in the Securities has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or in Europe, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b)Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Date to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 36 hours thereafter, to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such36-hour period, then:

(i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount of such Defaulted Securities in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; or

(ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Operating Partnership.

No action taken pursuant to thisSection 8 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, the Representatives shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under thisSection 8.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Healthcare Trust of America, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Healthcare Trust of America Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Jefferies LLC and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of a group of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) and the other parties thereto (if any), relating to a proposed underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) of the Company.

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the offering of the Common Stock will confer upon the undersigned in its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

(ii) enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of any Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Common Stock or other capital stock,

whether any transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other capital stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing;provided, however, that the undersigned shall have the right to sell an aggregate of 35,000 shares of Common Stock beginning on the 46th day after the date of the Underwriting Agreement without any consent of the Representatives.

Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the undersigned may, without the prior written consent of the Representatives:

(1)

transfer any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock if the undersigned is a natural person, as a bona fide gift or gifts or by will, by intestate succession or pursuant to a so-called “living trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, in each case to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, or as a bona fide gift or gifts to a charity or educational institution,

(2)

transfer any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock if the undersigned is a partnership or a limited liability company, to a partner or member, as the case may be, of such partnership or limited liability company if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value;

equity incentive plans or any dividend reinvestment plan as previously described to the Representatives, as those plans are in effect on the date of this Agreement;

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to the Representatives, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives, (B) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other capital stock by the undersigned during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is not a transfer for value and that such transfer is being made as a gift, by will or intestate succession or pursuant to a so-called “living trust” or other revocable trust established to provide for the disposition of property on the undersigned’s death, as the case may be, (C) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other capital stock shall be required to be made during the Lock-Up Period and (D) in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, no voluntary filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other public report, filing or announcement shall be made in respect of such transfer during this Lock-Up Period. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption not more remote than the first cousin.

Furthermore, the undersigned may sell shares of Common Stock purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the completion of the Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such sales.

Prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the restrictions imposed by this agreement at any time during the period from and including the date of this agreement through and including the 34th day following the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period has expired.

The undersigned further agrees that (i) it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of any shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other capital stock, and (ii) the Company may, with respect to any Common Stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other capital stock owned or held (of record or beneficially) by the undersigned, cause the transfer agent or

C-3

other registrar to enter stop transfer instructions and implement stop transfer procedures with respect to such securities during the Lock-Up Period.

The undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of any securities pursuant to any agreement, instrument, understanding or otherwise, including any registration rights agreement or similar agreement, to which the undersigned is a party or under which the undersigned is entitled to any right or benefit and any tag-along rights, co-sale rights or other rights to have any securities (debt or equity) included in the offering contemplated by this agreement or sold in connection with the sale of Securities pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, provided that such waiver shall apply only to the public offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and each registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection therewith.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this agreement and that this agreement has been duly authorized (if applicable), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

If the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by the parties thereto prior to September 30, 2016, this agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Common Stock actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
