Needham & Company, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. are acting as the representatives of the Underwriters and in such capacity are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives.”

SECTION 1. Sale and Purchase.

On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Selling Stockholders agree to sell the Stockholder Shares in the respective amounts set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule C-1 hereto to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree to purchase from the Selling Stockholders the Stockholder Shares as set forth opposite the names of such Underwriters on Schedule C-2 hereto for a purchase price per share of $30.87. The Company and the Selling Stockholders have been advised by the Underwriters that they propose to make a public offering of the Shares as soon after this Agreement has become effective as in their judgment is advisable. The pricing terms of the purchase of the Stockholder Shares by the Underwriters and the pricing terms of the offering of the Stockholder Shares to the public are as set forth in Schedule A hereto.

In addition, the Selling Stockholders hereby grant to the Underwriters the option to purchase, and upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase from the Selling Stockholders, all or a portion of the Option Shares in the respective amounts set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule C-1 hereto at the same purchase price per share to be paid by the Underwriters to the Selling Stockholders for the Stockholder Shares as set forth opposite the names of such Underwriters on Schedule C-2 hereto. This option may be exercised by the Underwriters any time and from time to time on or before the thirtieth (30^th) day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholders, which notice may be electronic (“Option Shares Notice”). The Option Shares Notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Option Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Option Shares are to be delivered (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Option Closing Date”); provided, however, that the Option Closing Date shall not be earlier than the Closing Date (as defined below) nor earlier than the second (2^nd) business day after the date on which the option for Option Shares shall have been exercised nor later than the tenth (10^th) business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. As of the Option Closing Date, the Selling Stockholders will sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters will purchase, the number of Option Shares set forth in the Option Shares Notice.

SECTION 2. Payment and Delivery.

Payment of the purchase price for the Stockholder Shares shall be made to the Selling Stockholders by same day Federal Funds wire transfer against delivery of the Stockholder Shares to the Underwriters through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the account of the Underwriters. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on February 13, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), which date shall be the second business day after the date of this Agreement (unless another time or date shall be agreed to by the Representatives and the Selling Stockholders).

If the option for Option Shares is exercised, payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares shall be made at the Option Closing Date in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Stockholder Shares. Electronic transfer of the Stockholder Shares shall be made to or as instructed by the Representatives at the Closing Date in such names and in such denominations as the Representatives shall specify.

(a) Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriters as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, and agrees with the Underwriters, as follows:

(i) Registration Statement and Prospectuses. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) an automatic registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-267376) including a prospectus (the “Basic Prospectus”) to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Shares. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Shares is called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and from and after the date and time of filing of any such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 8, 2023 describing the Shares and the offering thereof (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Basic Prospectus, is called the “Preliminary Prospectus,” and the Preliminary Prospectus and any other prospectus supplement to the Basic Prospectus in preliminary form that describes the Shares and the offering thereof and is used prior to the filing of the Prospectus (as defined below), together with the Basic Prospectus, is called a “preliminary prospectus.” As used herein, the term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement to the Basic Prospectus that describes the Shares and the offering thereof (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”), together with the Basic Prospectus, in the form first used by the Underwriters to confirm sales of the Shares or in the form first made available to the Underwriters by the Company to meet requests of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act. References herein to the Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus shall refer to both the prospectus supplement and the Basic Prospectus components of such prospectus.

No stop order preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the Securities Act, no order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened. The Company has complied to the Commission’s satisfaction with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

Each preliminary prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, or became effective under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

(ii) Accurate Disclosure; Certain Defined Terms. Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time, at the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, if any, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the Applicable Time, neither (A) the General Disclosure Package nor (B) any individual Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto (including any prospectus wrapper), as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), at the Closing Date or at any Option Closing Date, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use therein.

(v) No Other Offering Materials. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute any prospectus or other offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than any preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or other materials permitted by the Securities Act to be distributed by the Company; provided, however, that the Company has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus except in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 9. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such 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 or liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), severally and not jointly, to which such Underwriter or other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (x) the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or (y) any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares (“Marketing Materials”), including any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”) or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically), or (ii) 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, and will reimburse each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Marketing Materials, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information or information furnished to the Company by the Selling Stockholders for which the Selling Stockholders provide indemnification pursuant to Section 9(c) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Selling Stockholders by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder 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 as such expenses are incurred) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or Marketing Materials, 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder with respect to the Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein.

(c) Indemnification of the Underwriters by the Selling Stockholders. Each Selling Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such 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 or liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), severally and not jointly, to which such person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of, or are based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Marketing Materials, or (ii) 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, 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 Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Marketing Materials, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling Stockholder with respect to the Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein; and will reimburse each such person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Marketing Materials, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with any Underwriter Information; further provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (c) shall not exceed the proceeds (net of any underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) from the sale of the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder (the “Selling Stockholder Proceeds”).

(d) Indemnification of the Company and the Selling Stockholders by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Selling Stockholders against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, severally and not jointly. to which the Company or the Selling Stockholders may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of, or are based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, any preliminary prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Marketing Materials, or (ii) 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, 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 Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Marketing Materials, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company and the Selling Stockholders for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Selling Stockholders in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(e) Notification. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section ‎9, 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 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 Stockholders and all persons, if any, who control any Selling Stockholder 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 Stockholders and such control persons of any Selling Stockholders, such firm shall be designated in writing by Richard Soloway on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. 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, 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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

SECTION 10. Contribution.

(a) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9 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 10(a)(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 10(a)(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 Company and the Selling Stockholders 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 Selling Stockholder Proceeds of each Selling Stockholder 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 Company and the Selling Stockholders 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 Company or by the Selling Stockholders 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 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The liability of each Selling Stockholder under the contribution agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to the Selling Stockholder Proceeds of such Selling Stockholder (reduced by any amounts such Selling Stockholder is obligated to pay under Section 9(c) above).

(b) The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 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 10(a). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 10(a) shall be 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 10, 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. 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 ‎10 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.

(c) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in Sections ‎9 and 10 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Stockholders 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, or by or on behalf of any Selling Stockholder or any person controlling any Selling Stockholder, 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.

SECTION 11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of the Selling Stockholders, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

SECTION 12. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Selling Stockholders, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (or of an Option Closing Date) (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or The Nasdaq Global Market where trading has not been suspended or materially limited as described in the immediately following clause, or (iv) if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in The Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 5 hereof, and provided further that Section 1, Section 9, Section 10, Section 11, Section 16, Section 17 and Section 18 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 13. Default by the Selling Stockholders. If either of the Selling Stockholders shall fail to sell and deliver to the Underwriters the Shares to be sold and delivered by such Selling Stockholder at the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, then Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting party; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 1, Section 7, Section 9, Section 10, Section 11, Section 16, Section 17 and Section 18 shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 14. Default by the Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, either Underwriter shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the other Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. 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.

SECTION 15. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Representatives shall be directed to Needham & Company, LLC, 250 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10177, Attention: Corporate Finance Department, and to William Blair & Company, L.L.C., 150 N.

No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

SECTION 17. Trial by Jury. Each of the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) and the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

SECTION 21. Arms-Length Commercial Transaction. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that (a) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, (c) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Stockholders with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling Stockholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) each Underwriter and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Shares and each of the Company and the Selling Stockholders have consulted their own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Selling Stockholders each agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a signed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email/pdf transmission shall constitute valid and sufficient delivery thereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 23. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 24. 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.

As used in this Section 24:

“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:

(a) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(b) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

“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 (a) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (b) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders in accordance with its terms.

Re: NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. - Restriction on Stock Sales

This letter agreement is delivered to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), certain selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) listed in Schedule C-1 to the Underwriting Agreement and Needham & Company, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters listed in Schedule C-2 to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters intend to effect a public offering (the “Offering”) of shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, as described in and contemplated by the registration statement of the Company on Form S-3, File No. 333-267376 (the “Registration Statement”), which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2022. Terms used herein, but not defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

Therefore, as an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undersigned will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, without the prior written consent of the Representatives for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending [90][180]¹ days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, inclusive of such final day (the “Lock-Up Period”): (1) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “Disposition”) any shares of Common Stock (the “Company Securities”), or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or any rights to purchase or otherwise acquire, any Company Securities held by the undersigned or acquired by the undersigned after the date hereof, or that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned (collectively with the Company Securities, the “Lock-Up Securities”), pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (2) exercise or seek to exercise or effectuate in any manner any rights of any nature that the undersigned has or may have hereafter to require the Company to register under the Act the undersigned’s Disposition of any of the Lock-Up Securities held by the undersigned, (3) otherwise participate as a selling securityholder in any manner in any registration of Lock-Up Securities effected by the Company under the Act, except with respect to the Lock-Up Securities registered under the Registration Statement in connection with the Offering or (4) engage in any hedging, collar (whether or not for any consideration), swap or other agreement or transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition of Lock-Up Securities, even if such Lock-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such holder or transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction (or instrument provided for thereunder) is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise (for greater clarity, the transactions, agreements or instruments contemplated by this clause (4) include any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option or reversal or cancellation thereof) with respect to any Lock-Up Securities or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from Lock-Up Securities).

¹ 180 days for Richard Soloway; 90 days for all other Company directors and officers.

the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable Lock-Up Securities outstanding as of the date of this letter agreement so long as the underlying Company Securities remain subject to this letter agreement;

(7)

the forfeiture or surrender to the Company of Lock-Up Securities for failure to achieve vesting requirements associated with such Lock-Up Securities;

(13)

any Disposition or transfer of Lock-Up Securities registered under the Registration Statement pursuant to and in connection with the Offering;

provided that in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (1), (2), or (3), such transfer or other Disposition shall not involve a Disposition for value; provided further that in the case of any transfer, gift or other Disposition pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4), the transferee, trust, donee or other recipient agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this letter agreement for the remainder of the Lock-Up Period prior to such transfer; provided further that in the case of any transfer, gift or other Disposition pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (1) or (2), no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than required filings under Section 16(a) and Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act and any other filings, in each case, made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period); provided further that in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (10) or (12) it shall be a condition to such transfer that no public filing, report or announcement shall be voluntarily made and if any filing under Section 16(a), 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, or other public filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock in connection with such transfer or distribution shall be legally required during the Lock-Up Period, such filing, report or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such transfer and the Lock-Up Securities are subject to a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters.

Furthermore, the undersigned may, during the Lock-Up Period, sell shares of Common Stock purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the closing of the Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported in any public report or filing under the Exchange Act and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public report or filing regarding such sales.

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 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 Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Offering or sell any Shares at the price determined in the 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 upon the earlier of (i) February 28, 2023 and (ii) the date that the Company or the Selling Stockholders provide written notice to the Representatives that the Company or the Selling Stockholders have determined not to proceed with the proposed Offering and is terminating this letter agreement on behalf of all of the Company’s holders of Lock-Up Securities subject to this letter agreement; provided that the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Representatives shall not have executed the Underwriting Agreement on or prior to such date.

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York.
