Ladies and Gentlemen:

BlackLine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives” or “you”), $1,000,000,000 principal amount of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Firm Securities”) to be issued pursuant to the provisions of an Indenture to be dated as of March 15, 2021 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers not more than an additional $150,000,000 principal amount of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Additional Securities”) if and to the extent that the Representatives shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, the right to purchase such Additional Securities granted to the Initial Purchasers in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Securities and the Additional Securities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities”. The Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.” The Securities will be convertible into cash, shares of Common Stock (the “Underlying Securities”) or a combination of cash and Underlying Securities, at the Company’s election.

In connection with the offering of the Firm Securities, the Company is separately entering into capped call transactions with one or more counterparties, which may include one or more of the Initial Purchasers and/or their affiliates and/or other financial institutions (each, a “Capped Call Counterparty”), in each case pursuant to a capped call confirmation (each, a “Base Capped Call Confirmation”), each dated the date hereof, and in connection with the issuance of any Additional Securities, the Company and each Capped Call Counterparty may enter into additional capped call transactions, in each case, pursuant to an additional capped call confirmation (each, an “Additional Capped Call Confirmation”), each to be dated the date on which the option granted to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 2 hereof to purchase such Additional Securities is exercised (the “Additional Capped Call Confirmations”, and together with the Base Capped Call Confirmations, the “Capped Call Confirmations”).

The Securities and the Underlying Securities will be offered without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum (the “Preliminary Memorandum”) and will prepare a final offering memorandum (the “Final Memorandum”) including or incorporating by reference a description of the terms of the Securities and the Underlying Securities, the terms of the offering and a description of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Additional Written Offering Communication” means any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities other than the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum; “Time of Sale Memorandum” means the Preliminary Memorandum together with each Additional Written Offering Communication or other information, if any, each identified in Schedule II hereto under the caption “Time of Sale Memorandum”; and “General Solicitation” means any offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities or the Underlying Securities by any form of general solicitation or advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act). As used herein, the terms Preliminary Memorandum, Time of Sale Memorandum and Final Memorandum shall include all documents incorporated by reference therein on the date hereof. The terms “supplement”, “amendment” and “amend” as used herein with respect to the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or any Additional Written Offering Communication shall include all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

For purposes of this paragraph, (a) the term “Plan” means an employee benefit plan, within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title IV of ERISA, but excluding any Multiemployer Plan, for which the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any members of their respective “Controlled Groups” (defined as any organization which is a member of a controlled group of corporations within the meaning of Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code) has any liability and (b) the term “Multiemployer Plan” means a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Initial Purchasers, and each Initial Purchaser, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at a purchase price of 98.2% of the principal amount thereof (the “Purchase Price”) plus accrued interest, if any, to the Closing Date.

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Initial Purchasers the Additional Securities, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to $150,000,000 principal amount of Additional Securities at the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of payment and delivery. You may exercise this right on behalf of the Initial Purchasers in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice to the Company; provided that the Option Closing Date (as defined below) shall occur within a

period of 13 calendar days from, and including, the Closing Date (such period, the “Exercise Period”). Any exercise notice shall specify the principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased by the Initial Purchasers and the date on which such Additional Securities are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be within the Exercise Period and must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Securities nor later than five business days after the date of such notice. On each day, if any, that Additional Securities are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the principal amount of Additional Securities (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional Securities as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth in Schedule I opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser bears to the total principal amount of Firm Securities.

3. Terms of Offering. You have advised the Company that the Initial Purchasers will make an offering of the Securities purchased by the Initial Purchasers hereunder as soon as practicable after this Agreement is entered into as in your judgment is advisable.

4. Payment and Delivery.

The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Payment for any Additional Securities shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Additional Securities for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2 or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than the date that is 40 calendar days after the date of this Agreement, as shall be designated in writing by you.

The Securities shall be in definitive form or global form, as specified by you, and registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be. The Securities shall be delivered to you on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of payment and delivery.

(b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication set forth in Schedule II hereto, road show, General Solicitation set forth in Schedule II hereto, the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein 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 the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Offering Communication set forth in Schedule II hereto, road show, General Solicitation set forth in Schedule II hereto, the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers 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 total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. 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 on the one hand or the Initial Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each of the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include 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 subsection (d), (i) no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser 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.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of each Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of any Initial Purchaser; and the obligations of the Initial Purchasers under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Initial Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company agrees and confirms that references to “affiliates” of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC that appear in this Agreement shall be understood to include Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. Ltd.

9. Termination. The Initial Purchasers may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, either of the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, (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 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 your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Memorandum or the Final Memorandum.

10. Effectiveness; Defaulting Initial Purchasers. 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 Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser. If, on the Closing Date any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or of the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the option to (a) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (b) purchase not less than the principal amount of Additional Securities that such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchasers, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (which, for purposes of this Section 10, shall not include termination by the Initial Purchasers under items (iii)-(v) of Section 9), the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers or such Initial Purchasers 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 Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Initial Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Final Memorandum, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Securities: (i) the Initial Purchasers have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Initial Purchasers owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Initial Purchasers may have interests that differ from those of the Company, and (iv) none of the activities of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Initial Purchasers with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Initial Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Securities.

12. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser 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 Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser 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.

For purposes of this Section a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including via www.docusign.com and any other electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

15. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment.

16. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

17. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreement

March 10, 2021

To the Initial Purchasers defined below

Re: BlackLine, Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Representatives”) and one or more other initial purchasers, (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), to be named in an offering memorandum relating to the sale of Securities described below, propose to enter into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BlackLine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the private offering (the “Offering”) of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be convertible into cash, shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s election.

In consideration of the agreement by the Initial Purchasers to offer and sell the Securities, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period specified in the following paragraph, the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”). The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares, or transfer of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of the Undersigned’s Shares, even if such shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option), or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however defined or described, with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Shares.

The lock-up period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue for 60 days after the date of closing of the Offering set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Offering Closing Date”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (iii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, provided that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (iv) acquired in open market transactions on or after the Offering Closing Date, (v) to the Company in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan disclosed in the final offering memorandum used for the Offering, (vi) in connection with the “net” or “cashless” exercise or settlement of stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards (including the transfer for the payment of taxes due as a result of such exercise whether by means of a “net settlement” or otherwise; provided that any such transfer shall only be permitted to the Company) pursuant to an employee benefit plan disclosed in the final offering memorandum used for the Offering; provided, that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement; provided further, that if the undersigned is subject to Section 16 reporting with respect to the Company under the Exchange Act, any such exercise or settlement relates solely to stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards that would otherwise expire during the Lock-Up Period, (vii) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; provided, that each such transferee executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement, (viii) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, (A) transfers of the Undersigned’s Shares to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, limited partner, general partner or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned or that is an investment vehicle controlled or managed by affiliates of the undersigned or (B) as part of a distribution without consideration by the undersigned to its stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders, provided that in the case of any transfer contemplated in (A) or (B) above, it shall be a condition of such transfer that each transferee thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (ix) pursuant to any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s capital stock involving a change of control of the Company; provided, that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Undersigned’s Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement, (x) to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (xi) with the prior written consent of the Representatives. With respect to clauses (i) through (viii) above, it shall be a condition to such transfer that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act nor any other public filing or disclosure of such transfer by or on behalf of any person shall be required or voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on Form 5 not filed during the Lock-Up Period); provided, however, that for the purpose of clause (vi) above, filings under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be permissible if such filings relate solely to “net” or “cashless” exercises or settlements of stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards that would otherwise

expire during the Lock-Up Period and any such filing include a statement to the effect that such transfer is being made in connection with a “net” or “cashless” exercise or settlement of stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards, and the undersigned provides written notice to the Representatives no later than two business days prior to making any such filings. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin and “change of control” shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner of 90% or more of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by clauses (i) through (xi) above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

In addition, no provision herein shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise or exchange by the undersigned of any (i) option or warrant to acquire shares of Common Stock, or (ii) any other security exchangeable or exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock that, in the case of any securities referred to in clauses (i) or (ii), are described in the offering memorandum used for the Offering, and are outstanding on the Offering Closing Date or issued during the Lock-Up Period; provided that (a) any “net” or “cashless” exercise or settlement shall comply with clause (vi) in the immediately preceding paragraph, (b) any Common Stock acquired by the undersigned upon any such exercise, exchange or conversion will also be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement and (c) the undersigned does not transfer the Common Stock acquired on such exercise, exchange or conversion during the Lock-Up Period, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the undersigned may enter into a written trading plan established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period, provided that no direct or indirect offers, sales, contracts to sell, pledges, sales of any option to purchase or other disposals of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock may be effected pursuant to such plan during the Lock-Up Period, and provided that no public disclosure of any such action or the establishment of such plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company during the Lock-Up Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, sales of the Undersigned’s Shares may be effected pursuant to a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act prior to the date hereof (an “existing plan”) or a trading plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act after the date hereof pursuant to an administrative transfer of an existing plan (a “transferred plan”), provided that, such transfer is consummated solely to change the broker dealer administering such existing plan and following the transfer, the transferred plan contains substantially identical terms as the existing plan, including with respect to the number of shares that may be sold, the relevant price(s) at which shares may be sold and the relevant time periods during which shares may be sold; provided further that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act that is made in connection with any such sales during the Lock-up Period shall state that such sales have been executed under a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and shall also state the date such trading plan was adopted.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Lock-Up Agreement will automatically terminate and the undersigned will be released from all of his, her or its obligations hereunder if the Purchase Agreement is executed but is terminated (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder. The terms of this Lock-Up Agreement shall not be amended without the prior written consent of the undersigned.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, affiliates of the undersigned that have not separately signed a lock-up agreement may engage in brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, principal investing and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their affiliates’ business, other than with respect to the Undersigned’s Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that (i) any entity (other than the undersigned) in which any of the undersigned’s affiliated investment funds may now or in the future have an investment and (ii) any entity (other than the undersigned) on whose board of directors one or more of the undersigned’s officers may now or in the future serve, shall not be deemed subject to, or bound by, this Lock-Up Agreement, in part or in its entirety; provided, however, that this sentence will not apply to any hedging of or other transaction in the Undersigned’s Shares or shares held by transferees of the Undersigned’s Shares that receive any such shares pursuant to any exception set forth in the fourth paragraph of this letter.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Initial Purchasers solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering 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 Initial Purchasers may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to the undersigned in connection with the Offering, the Initial Purchasers are not making a recommendation to the undersigned to participate in the Offering and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Initial Purchaser is making such a recommendation.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Initial Purchasers are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Lock-Up Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
