For purposes of this Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”), “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, “preliminary prospectus” shall mean each prospectus used prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and each prospectus that omitted information pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness together with the documents and pricing information set forth in Schedule III hereto, and “broadly available road show” means a “bona fide electronic road show” as defined in Rule 433(h)(5) under the Securities Act that has been made available without restriction to any person. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; and (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement,” “preliminary prospectus,” “Time of Sale Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein as of the date hereof.

(f)If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Representatives will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.

If Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in their sole discretion, agrees to release or waive the restrictions on the transfer of Shares set forth in a Lock-up Agreement for an officer or director of the Company and provides the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver, the Company agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by (i) a press release substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto through a major news service or (ii) any other method that satisfies the obligations described in FINRA Rule 5131(d)(2) at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.
The Company will enforce the terms of all existing agreements, plans and arrangements restricting the transfer by any holder of such holder’s shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (the “Securities”) following the offering of the Shares contemplated hereby. The Company will issue stop-transfer instructions to the transfer agent with respect to any transaction that would constitute a breach of,
29
or default under, such provisions. During the Restricted Period, the Company will enforce, and not waive or amend, such stop-transfer instructions and any transfer restriction, including any “market standoff,” “holdback” or similar agreement or provision, applicable to any Securities unless the Company shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives; provided that this paragraph shall not prohibit the Company from effecting such a waiver or amendment to permit a transfer of securities which is permissible under the terms of the Lock-up Agreements described in Section 6(g).

It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 11 entitled “Indemnity and Contribution,” Section 12 entitled “Reserved Share Program Indemnification” and the last paragraph of Section 14 below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.
The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that the Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.
10.Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
11.Indemnity and Contribution.
(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (1) each Underwriter, 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) that arise out of, or are based upon, 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

The Company agrees and confirms that references to “affiliates” of Morgan Stanley that appear in this Agreement shall be understood to include Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd.
(b)Each Selling Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, 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) that arise out of, or based upon, 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 road show, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged
32

The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate Public Offering Price (less underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) of the Shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement (with respect to each Selling Shareholder the “Selling Shareholder Proceeds”).
(c)Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholders, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange 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) that arise out of, or are based upon, 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 or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, 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, 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 through the Representatives consists of the following information in the Prospectus: the concession figure in the [●] paragraph and the information set forth in the [●] and [●] paragraphs, in each case under the caption “Underwriting” (the “Underwriter Information”).
(d)In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
33
to Section 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c) 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 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 (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for 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 such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Selling Shareholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. In the case of any such separate firm for the Selling Shareholders and such control persons of any Selling Shareholders, such firm shall be designated by the Selling Shareholders. 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 an indemnifying party to 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 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) 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,
34
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 statements to or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e)To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c) 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 Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(e)(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 11(e)(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 Sellers 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 each Seller and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers on the one hand and 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 Sellers 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 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The Selling Shareholders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several, and not joint. The liability of each Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the Selling Stockholder Proceeds.
(f)The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 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 11(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(e) shall be
35
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 11, (i) 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 and (ii) no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute an amount in excess of the amount by which the Selling Shareholder Proceeds exceed the amount of any damages that such Selling Shareholder 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 11 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.
(g)The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders 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, by or on behalf of any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder, 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.
12.Reserved Share Program Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters and their affiliates and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a “Reserved Share Underwriter Entity”) 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) (1)that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Participants in connection with the Reserved Share Program or arise out of, or are based upon, 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; (ii) that arise out of, or are based upon, the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Reserved Shares that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) related to, arising out of, or in connection with the Reserved Share Program, other than losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity.
36
(b)In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Reserved Share Underwriter Entity in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 12(a), the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity seeking indemnity, shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company, upon request of the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity to represent the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity and any others the Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Reserved Share Underwriter Entity shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Reserved Share Underwriter Entity unless (i) the Company shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities 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 Reserved Share Underwriter Entities. Any such separate firm for the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities shall be designated in writing by the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity. The Company 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 Company agrees to indemnify the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time a Reserved Share Underwriter Entity shall have requested the Company to reimburse it for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the Company 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 30 days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Company shall not have reimbursed the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Reserved Share Underwriter Entity is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Reserved Share Underwriter Entity, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(c)To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 12(a) is unavailable to a Reserved Share Underwriter Entity or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the Company in lieu of indemnifying the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Reserved Share Underwriter Entity as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities )i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
37
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand from the offering of the Reserved Shares or (ii)if the allocation provided by clause 12(c)(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 12(c)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand in connection with any 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 Reserved Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Reserved Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Reserved Shares (before deducting expenses) and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities for the Reserved Shares, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Reserved Shares. If the loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(d)The Company and the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities 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 12(c). The amount paid or payable by the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Reserved Share Underwriter Entities in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 12, no Reserved Share Underwriter Entity shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Reserved Shares distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Reserved Share Underwriter Entity has otherwise been required to pay. The remedies provided for in this Section 12 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.
(e)The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 12 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 Reserved Share Underwriter Entity or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Reserved Shares.
38
13.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 or on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (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, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade or other relevant exchanges, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction 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 judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the judgment of the Representatives, 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.
14.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 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 14 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 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, the Company and the Selling Shareholders 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, the Company or the Selling Shareholders. In any such case either the Representatives or the relevant Sellers 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 Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of
39
the aggregate number of Additional 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 Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional 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 any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than by reason of a default by the Underwriters or the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (ii) (solely to the extent that such event is not caused by conduct of the Company), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 13), the Sellers 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.
15.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 Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, 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 Shares.
(b)The Company and each Selling Shareholder acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, any of the Selling Shareholders or any other person, the Underwriters owe the Company and each Selling Shareholder only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and each Selling Shareholder, and (iv) none of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company and each Selling Shareholder waive 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.
(c)Each Selling Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide certain Selling Shareholders with certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to any Selling Shareholder
40
to participate in the offering or sell any Shares at the Purchase Price, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.
16.Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) 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.
(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.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), as representatives of the several Underwriters, propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Doximity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan (collectively, the “Underwriters”), of shares (the “Shares”) of the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock” and together with the Class B Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, the “Common Stock”). The Company and the Selling Shareholders are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Sellers.”
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan on behalf of the Underwriters, he, she or it will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days (including such 180th day) after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Public Offering (such final prospectus, the “Prospectus,” and such period as modified by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) below, as may be applicable to the
A-1
undersigned, 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 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned by the undersigned that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, the Company’s Class B common stock, the Company’s preferred stock, securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or securities which may be issued upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock units or warrants) (collectively, the “Other Securities”), (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 or Other Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or Other Securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) publicly disclose the intention to take any of the actions restricted by clauses (1) or (2). The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any shares of Common Stock or Other Securities, even if any such sale or disposition transaction or transactions would be made or executed by or on behalf of someone other than the undersigned. The undersigned further confirms that it has furnished Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan with the details of any transaction the undersigned, or any of its affiliates, is a party to as of the date hereof, which transaction would have been restricted by this agreement if it had been entered into by the undersigned during the Restricted Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) if the undersigned is a current full-time or part-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries as of May 31, 2021 (including a current full-time contractor of the Company, but excluding in all such cases any director of the Company, consultant of the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Company’s insider trading policy, the undersigned may sell in the public market for a 3-Trading Day (as defined below) period beginning at the commencement of trading on the first Trading Day on which the Common Stock is traded on the exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or ending on such earlier date as the Company in its sole discretion shall determine, a number of shares of Common Stock not in excess of 10% of the Common Stock and Other Securities owned by the undersigned on May 31, 2021 (including vested exercisable stock options as of May 31, 2021 (collectively, “Included Securities”), but excluding (1) any shares of Common Stock or Other Securities subject to escrow, holdback or similar provisions under agreements related to mergers or acquisitions by the Company, (2) any unvested shares of Common Stock or Other Securities issued by the Company in connection with mergers or acquisitions by the Company, (3) any unvested warrants, convertible securities, stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards issued by the Company, and (4) any shares of Common Stock or Other Securities acquired pursuant to a private secondary transaction, and (5) any shares of the Company’s preferred stock or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of preferred stock (collectively, “Excluded Securities”)) (the “First Window Eligible Shares”) before giving effect to any sales of Common Stock by the undersigned to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement;
A-2
(b) if (i) the undersigned is a current full-time or part-time employee of the Company or its subsidiaries as of July 31, 2021 (including a current full-time contractor of the Company), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Commercial Officer and (ii) the last reported closing price of the Common Stock on the exchange on which the Common Stock is listed is at least 30% greater than the initial public offering price per share set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus for any 10 Trading Days out of the 15-consecutive full Trading Day period ending on the closing of the Trading Day immediately prior to the First Post-Offering Earnings Release (as defined below), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and the Company’s insider trading policy, the undersigned may sell in the public market for a 3-Trading Day period beginning at the commencement of trading on the third Trading Day after the Company publicly announces its earnings (which for this purpose shall not include “flash” numbers or preliminary, partial earnings) for the first completed quarterly period (the “First Post-Offering Earnings Release”) following the most recent period for which financial statements are included in the Prospectus, a number of shares of Common Stock not in excess of 15% of the Common Stock and Other Securities owned by the undersigned on July 31, 2021 (including vested exercisable stock options as of July 31, 2021, but excluding any Excluded Securities, except that any Common Stock and Other Securities that have become vested and that are not subject to escrow, holdback or similar provisions, or have become released from escrow, holdback or similar provisions and are not subject to vesting, between May 31, 2021 and July 31, 2021 will no longer be Excluded Securities; provided that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is only permitted to sell, pursuant to this paragraph (b), up to the lesser of (x) 800,000 shares of the Common Stock and Other Securities owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on July 31, 2021 and (y) 1% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the first Trading Day in such 3-Trading Day period); and
(c) in addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Restricted Period shall terminate commencing on the opening of trading on the third Trading Day immediately following the Company’s release of earnings (which for this purpose shall not include “flash” numbers or preliminary, partial earnings) for the second completed quarterly period following the most recent period for which financial statements are included in the Prospectus.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any transfers by the undersigned that are permitted pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock or Other Securities in the following transactions:
(1) any sales of Common Stock by the undersigned to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement;
(2) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or Other Securities acquired in the Public Offering or in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or Other Securities acquired either in the Public Offering or in such open market transactions;
(3) transfers of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities (i) as a bona fide gift (including any pledge or similar commitment to donate shares of Common Stock or Other Securities and/or proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities to be applied in their entirety to a charitable contribution) or for bona fide estate planning purposes,
A-3
(ii) upon death or by will, testamentary document or intestate succession; provided such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (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 (for purposes of this letter agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any spouse or domestic partner and relationship by blood, current or former marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); provided such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, or (iv) if the undersigned is a trust, to any beneficiary of the undersigned or the estate of any such beneficiary, provided such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value;
(4) provided the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, distributions, transfers or dispositions of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities (i) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned, or (ii) as part of a distribution, transfer or disposition without consideration by the undersigned to its stockholders, current partners (general or limited), members, beneficiaries or other equity holders, or to the estates of any such stockholders, partners, beneficiaries or other equity holders;
(5) (i) the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities upon the exercise of options, settlement of restricted stock units or other equity awards or the exercise of warrants which are outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus and are disclosed in the Prospectus; or (ii) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into Common Stock to the Company upon a vesting or settlement event of the Company’s restricted stock units or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis to the extent permitted by the instruments representing such securities, options, restricted stock units or warrants (and any transfer to the Company necessary in respect of such amount needed for the payment of taxes, including estimated taxes, due as a result of such vesting, settlement or exercise whether by means of a “net settlement” or otherwise) so long as such “cashless” exercise or “net exercise” is effected solely by the surrender of outstanding securities, options, restricted stock units or warrants (or the Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon the exercise or settlement thereof) to the Company and the Company’s cancellation of all or a portion thereof to pay the exercise price and/or withholding tax and remittance obligations; provided (x) that in the case of either (i) or (ii), the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise or settlement of the security, option, restricted stock unit or warrant are subject to the terms of this letter agreement, and (y) that in the case of either (i) or (ii), any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (A) the filing relates to the circumstances described in (i) or (ii), as the case may be, (B) no shares were sold by the reporting person and (C) any shares of Common Stock received upon exercise or settlement of the option, warrant or restricted stock unit are subject to a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters of the Public Offering;
(6) the transfer of Common Stock or Other Securities that occurs by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order in connection with a divorce settlement or other court order, provided that such transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions on transfer set forth herein;
(7) the conversion of the outstanding preferred stock or warrants to acquire preferred stock of the Company into shares of Common Stock or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering, or in connection with the conversion or reclassification of any shares of any class of the Company’s common
A-4
stock into shares of Common Stock, in each case as described in the Prospectus, provided that any such shares of Common Stock or warrants received upon such conversion shall be subject to the terms of this letter agreement;
(8) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities in connection with a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction, that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, made to all holders of Common Stock involving a Change of Control (as defined below), provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Common Stock or Other Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this letter agreement. For the purposes of this clause (8), “Change of Control” means the transfer (whether by bona fide tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than the Underwriters pursuant to the Public Offering), of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities if, after such transfer, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transfer do not own at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the voting share capital of the Company (or the surviving entity);
(9) any transfer of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities to the Company pursuant to contractual arrangements under which the Company has, in connection with the termination of service of the undersigned, (A) the option to repurchase such shares or Other Securities, or (B) a right of first refusal with respect to such securities; provided that in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, (1) such contractual arrangement is in effect on the date of the Prospectus; and (2) that no public filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period within 30 days after the date the undersigned ceases to provide services to the Company, and after such 30th day, if the undersigned is required to file a report reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock during the Restricted Period, such report or filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this clause and no public filing, report or announcement shall be voluntarily made; and
(10) the conversion of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company that are disclosed in the Prospectus and that are outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus into shares of Common Stock prior to, after or in connection with the consummation of the Public Offering; provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion shall be subject to the terms of this letter agreement; provided that in the case of any transfer, distribution or disposition pursuant to clause (3) or (4), each transferee, donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this letter agreement and no public announcement or filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or any other public filing or disclosure reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period; and
provided further that in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (6) or (7), no public announcement or filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or any other public filing or disclosure shall be made during the Restricted Period, unless such filing is required and clearly indicates in the footnotes thereto circumstances describe in clause (6) or (7), as the case may be.
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or Other Securities. The
A-5
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.
If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Shares the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering.
For purposes of this letter agreement, a “Trading Day” is a day on which the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market are open for the buying and selling of securities.
If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock, Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan will notify the Company in writing of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company will agree or has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.
The undersigned understands that the Sellers and the Underwriters are relying upon this letter agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this letter agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Public Offering of the Shares and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to you in connection with the Public Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Public Offering or sell any Shares at the price determined in the Public Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.
This letter agreement shall automatically terminate, and the undersigned will be released from all of his, her or its obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date that the Company advises Morgan Stanley, Goldman and J.P. Morgan, in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (b) the date that the Company withdraws the registration statement related to the Public Offering before the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, (c) if the Underwriting Agreement is executed but terminated (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) prior to payment for and delivery of the shares of Common Stock to be sold thereunder, the date that the
A-6
Underwriting Agreement is terminated or (d) September 1, 2021 if the Public Offering of the Shares has not been completed by such date (provided that the Company may by written notice to the undersigned prior to September 1, 2021 extend such date for a period of up to an additional three months).
The undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of securities pursuant to any agreement, understanding or anything otherwise setting forth the terms of any security of the Company held by the undersigned, including any registration rights agreement or investors’ rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be party; provided, however, that such waiver shall apply only to the proposed Public Offering, and any other action taken by the Company in connection with the proposed Public Offering.
Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Sellers and the Underwriters.
This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
