R E C I T A L S 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common
Stock”), such purchase to be made in a private placement the closing of which is to occur substantially simultaneously with the closing (the “Closing”) of the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the
Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Underwriter”), to be dated on or about the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell the Shares (as defined below) to the Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth
herein to fund its corporate purposes. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, at the Closing, 675,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). The per share purchase price
payable by the Purchaser for the Shares shall be equal to the indicative per share public offering price established by the Underwriter in the Public Offering or the public offering price as set forth in the prospectus relating to the Public
Offering, as applicable (the “Purchase Price”). 
 2. Closing, Delivery and Payment. 

(a) Subject to the terms of Section 5 hereof, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares under this Agreement (the
“Private Closing”) shall take place substantially simultaneously with the Closing pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the date of such closing shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). 

(b) At the Private Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser a certificate representing
the Shares against payment by or on behalf of the Purchaser of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company, or by such other means as shall be mutually agreeable to Purchaser and the Company.
The Closing shall take place at the offices of the Company or by mail or email facilities or such other place or means as the Company and the Purchaser may agree. 

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as of the date
hereof, the representations and warranties set forth in the Underwriting Agreement are true and correct to the extent set forth therein, and incorporated by reference in their entirety herein. The Company hereby additionally represents and warrants
to the Purchaser as of the date hereof as follows: 
 3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Company has full power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted.
The Company is duly qualified, is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary,
except for those jurisdictions, in the aggregate, in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

3.2 Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders
necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement for the sale and 







 
issuance of the Shares pursuant hereto and for the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, to be dated
of even date herewith (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) has been taken or will be taken prior to the Private Closing. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, when executed and delivered, will be a valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject further to general principles of equity. At the time of
the Closing, the sale of the Shares will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens, claims, encumbrances or other restrictions other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement, the Company’s Charter, as amended from time to time, and under
state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed or any liens, claims, encumbrances or other restrictions entered into by the Purchaser. 

3.3 Compliance With Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto will not (i) materially conflict with, or result in a material breach or violation of, or constitute a material default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any material lien, claim, encumbrance or restriction, (ii) violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any material terms of, or result in the material modification of, any material contract or otherwise give any other
contracting party the right to terminate a material contract, or constitute (or with notice or lapse of time would constitute) a material default under any material contract to which the Company is a party or by or to which it or any of its assets
or properties may be bound or subject or (iii) result in any violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term, of the Company’s Charter or Bylaws, each as amended from time to time, which in any such case could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, its financial condition or results of operation. 

4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. 

The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows: 

4.1 Requisite Power and Authority. The Purchaser has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to
execute and deliver this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. All action on the Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been or will be effectively taken prior to the Private Closing. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, when executed and delivered, will be a valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
and (ii) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies. 
 4.2 Investment
Representations. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold
pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon the Purchaser’s representations and warranties as follows: 

(a) Purchaser is an Accredited Purchaser. The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser is an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A(a)(1) under the Securities Act. 

(b) Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. The Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares
are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser understands that it will have no registration rights with respect to its Shares except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow the Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of its
Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times the Purchaser might propose. 

  
 2 








 (c) Acquisition For Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for the
Purchaser’s own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act. 

(d) Purchaser Can Protect Its Interests. The Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or
financial experience, the Purchaser has the capacity to evaluate its investment in the Shares and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The Purchaser is not a corporation, trust or partnership specifically formed for the purpose of
consummating these transactions. 
 (e) Company Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s
business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. The Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment. 
 4.3 Legends. The
certificate representing the Shares may be endorsed with the following legend: 
 “The securities represented by this certificate
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. The securities may not be sold or offered for sale or otherwise
distributed except (i) in conjunction with an effective registration statement for the shares under the Act, or (ii) in compliance with Rule 144 or (iii) pursuant to an opinion of counsel addressed and reasonably acceptable to the
corporation that such registration or compliance is not required as to such sale, offer or distribution.” 
 Except as set forth it
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company need not register a transfer of any Shares, and may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of any Shares, unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied.

 4.4 Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 4.3 and the
stop transfer instructions with respect to such Shares shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder thereof if such legend (i) may be properly removed under the terms of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act (“Rule 144”); (ii) the Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act; or (iii) if such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel for such holder, reasonably satisfactory to legal
counsel for the Company, to the effect that a sale, transfer or assignment of such Shares may be made without registration. 

5. Conditions to Closing. The Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and the Company’s obligation to sell the Shares shall
be subject to the condition that the Closing under the Underwriting Agreement occur substantially simultaneously therewith. 

6. Rule 144 Reporting. 

With a view to making available to each Purchaser the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) which may permit the sale of the Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees at all times after the Closing to: 

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; 

(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and 
 (c) so long as the Purchaser owns any Shares, to
furnish to the Purchaser within a reasonable time upon a written request by the Purchaser, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as the Purchaser may reasonably 

  
 3 








 
request in complying with any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration and shall cause its counsel promptly to provide
appropriate legal opinions to the Company’s transfer agent in connection with a proper sale of Shares pursuant Rule 144.
