The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

  (i)

a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company after the closing of the Public Offering and approved by the Company’s board of directors, provided that in the event that such Change of Control is not completed, the undersigned’s shares shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this lock-up letter and title to the undersigned’s shares shall remain with the undersigned; and

 

  (j)

the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley and BAML 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 any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. “Change of Control” means the transfer (whether by 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 an Underwriter pursuant to the Public Offering), of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold more than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).

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.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) Morgan Stanley and BAML 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 and BAML will notify the Company 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 and BAML 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 to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

In the event of any early release (each, a “Release”) by Morgan Stanley and BAML of any shares of Common Stock held by any holder of the Company’s securities from the restrictions set forth in any lock-up letter with the Underwriters entered into in connection with the Public Offering (the “IPO Lockups”) (other than a Release of the undersigned or its affiliates), the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock subject to this lock-up letter will be released on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares of Common Stock of the undersigned held on the date hereof, from the restrictions set forth in this lock-up letter (the “Pro Rata Release”); provided, that the Pro Rata Release shall not apply with respect to any Release of shares of Common Stock held by any employee of the Company unless and until the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock held by employees of the Company released pursuant to such Release(s) exceeds, individually or in the aggregate, one percent of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Public Offering, and the Pro Rata Release will only apply with respect to Releases of shares of Common Stock in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply (1) if the Release is effected solely to permit a transfer not involving a disposition for value, (2) if the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the

same terms described in this agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of transfer, (3) in the case of any secondary underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock (including a secondary underwritten public offering with a primary component), (4) if the Release is granted to any individual party by Morgan Stanley and BAML in an amount of Common Stock, individually or in the aggregate, less than or equal to $5,000,000, or (5) if the Release is granted due to circumstances of an emergency or hardship as determined by Morgan Stanley and BAML in their sole judgment. Morgan Stanley and BAML shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Company of each such Release (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against Morgan Stanley and BAML or the Underwriters).

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

This lock-up letter shall automatically terminate and the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this lock-up letter upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) the date the Company advises Morgan Stanley and BAML, in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) the date of the termination of the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) if prior to the closing of the Public Offering or (c) June 30, 2019 if, and only if, the Underwriting Agreement has not been signed by such date (provided that the Company may by written notice to the undersigned prior to June 30, 2019 extend such date for a period of up to an additional three months).

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 Company and the Underwriters.

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 laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
