(vii)         This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Selling Stockholder.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities.  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 to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agrees to purchase from the Selling Stockholders, at a purchase price of $22.95 per share, the numbers of shares of Firm Securities indicated in Schedule I hereto.

The Selling Stockholders will deliver the Firm Securities to the Underwriter for the accounts of the Underwriter, against payment of the purchase price in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Underwriter drawn to the order of the Selling Stockholders, at the office of Hogan Lovells US LLP, 1601 Wewatta St., Suite 900, Denver, Colorado 80202, at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on November 23, 2016, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Underwriter and the Selling Stockholders determine, such time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”.  For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered Securities sold pursuant to the offering.  The certificates for the Firm Securities so to be delivered will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriter requests and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of Hogan Lovells US LLP at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.

4. Offering by Underwriter.  It is understood that the Underwriter proposes to offer the Offered Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus.

5. Free Writing Prospectuses.

(a)                                 The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Underwriter, and the Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission.  Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Underwriter is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,

15

including timely Commission filing where required, legending and record keeping.

6. Certain Agreements of the Company and the Selling Stockholders.

(a) The Company agrees with the Underwriter and the Selling Stockholders that:

(i)            The Company has filed or will file each Statutory Prospectus (including the Final Prospectus) pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b)(7) not later than the second business day following the earlier of the date it is first used or the date of this Agreement.  The Company has complied and will comply with Rule 433.

(ii)           The Company will advise the Underwriter promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or any Statutory Prospectus at any time and will afford the Underwriter a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement; and the Company will also advise the Underwriter promptly of (A) the filing of any such amendment or supplement, (B) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to any Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Statutory Prospectus or for any additional information, (C) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of a Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (D) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose.  The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(iii)          If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 under the Act would be) required to be delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriter of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriter and the dealers and any other dealers upon the request of the Underwriter, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance.  Neither the Underwriter’s consent to, nor the Underwriter’s delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof.

16

(iv)          As soon as practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.  For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Availability Date” means the 40th day after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter that includes such Effective Date, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 75th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter.

(v)           The Company will furnish to the Underwriter copies of the Registration Statement including all exhibits, any Statutory Prospectus relating to the Offered Securities, the Final Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriter requests.  All other such documents shall be so furnished as soon as available.  The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriter all such documents.

(vi)          The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to arrange for qualification of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation or to execute a general consent to service of process in order to effect such qualification of the Offered Securities.

(vii)         During the period of three years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Underwriter, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to stockholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Underwriter (A) as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (B) from time to time, such other publicly available information concerning the Company as the Underwriter may reasonably request.  However, as long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with the Commission on EDGAR, it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the Underwriter.

(viii)        The Company agrees with the Underwriter that the Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders (except as set forth in Section 6(b)(1) below) under this Agreement, including for any filing fees and other expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriter designates and the printing of

17

memoranda relating thereto, for any travel expenses of the Company’s officers and employees and any other expenses of the Company in connection with attending or hosting meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities and for expenses incurred in distributing the Final Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto).

(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders agrees, severally and not jointly, with the Underwriter and the Company that:

(i)            It shall pay all transfer taxes on the sale by such Selling Stockholder of the Offered Securities to the Underwriter.  Each Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to the Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder.

7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriter.  The obligations of the Underwriter to purchase and pay for the Firm Securities on the Closing Date will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and the Selling Stockholders herein, to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and the Selling Stockholders of their obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

(a)                                 The Underwriter shall have received a letter, dated the date of delivery hereof and the Closing Date, of KPMG LLP, auditors to the Company, confirming that they are a registered public accounting firm and independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Laws and stating to the effect that:

(i)            in their opinion the audited consolidated financial statements and schedules and any summary of earnings examined by them and included in the Final Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Laws;

(ii)           with respect to period(s) covered by any unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the General Disclosure Package, they have performed the procedures specified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described in AU 722, Interim Financial Information, on those unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included in the Registration Statement and the General Disclosure Package, and have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether those unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published rules and regulations; they have read the latest unaudited monthly consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) and any supplementary summary unaudited financial information of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries made available by the Company and the minutes of the meetings of the

18

stockholders, Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors of the Company; and have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether the unaudited monthly financial statements are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Registration Statement and General Disclosure Package; and on the basis thereof, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(A)                               the unaudited financial statements, if any, and any summary of earnings included in the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Laws, or that any material modifications should be made to such unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements and summary of earnings for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles;

(B)                               with respect to the period subsequent to the date of the most recent unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements included in the General Disclosure Package, at a specified date at the end of the most recent month, there was any change in the capital stock or there were any increases in the short-term indebtedness or long-term debt of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, or any decreases in the net current assets or net assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as compared with the amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included in the General Disclosure Package; or for the period from the day after the date of the most recent unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements for such entities included in the General Disclosure Package to such specified date, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net revenue or net operating income or in the total or per share amounts of consolidated income before extraordinary items or net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except for such changes, increases or decreases set forth in such letter which the General Disclosure Package discloses have occurred or may occur;

(iii)          with respect to any period as to which officials of the Company have advised that no consolidated financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to the specified date referred to in (ii)(B) above are available, they have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for the financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether, at a specified date not more than three business days prior to the date of such letter, there was any change to the capital stock or there were any increases in the short-term indebtedness or long-term debt of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, or any decreases in the net

19

current assets or net assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as compared with the amounts shown on the most recent balance sheet for such entities included in the General Disclosure Package; or for the period from the day after the date of the most recent unaudited quarterly financial statements for such entities included in the General Disclosure Package to such specified date, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in net revenues or net operating income or in the total or per share amounts of consolidated income before extraordinary items or net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and, on the basis of such inquiries and the review of the minutes described in paragraph (ii) above, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that there was any such change, increase, or decrease, except for such changes, increases or decreases set forth in such letter which the General Disclosure Package discloses have occurred or may occur; and (iv) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial and statistical information contained in the Registration Statement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (other than any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is an “electronic road show,” as defined in Rule 433(h)) and the General Disclosure Package (in each case to the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial and statistical information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries or are derived directly from such records by analysis or computation) with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting records and other procedures specified in such letter and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial and statistical information to be in agreement with such results.

(b)                                 The Underwriter shall have received a letter, dated the date of delivery hereof and the Closing Date, of Deloitte LLP, auditors to National CineMedia, LLC, confirming that they are a registered public accounting firm and independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Laws in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriter.

All financial statements and schedules included in material incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package shall be deemed included in the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package for purposes of this subsection.

(c)                                  The Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and Section 6(a) of this Agreement.  Prior to such Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Selling Stockholders, the Company or any Underwriter, shall be contemplated by the Commission.

(d)                                 Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other) business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole which, in the

20

judgment of the Underwriter, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriter, impractical to market or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Offered Securities, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum or maximum prices for trading on such exchange, (v) any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (vi) any banking moratorium declared by any U.S. Federal or New York authorities; (vii) any major disruption of settlements of securities, payment or clearance services in the United States or (viii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Underwriter, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency is such as to make it impractical or inadvisable to market the Offered Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Offered Securities.

(c)                                  The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the Selling Stockholders and each person, if any, who controls the Selling Stockholders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based on any such untrue statement or omission or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information contained in the 7th and 9th paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting.”

(d)                                 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel 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 will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  No indemnifying party shall, without the

24

prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action 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 (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action 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 an indemnified party.

(e)                                  If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (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 (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability under this Section 8 of any Selling Stockholder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholders hereunder.  The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriter 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 Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter.  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, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Underwriter’s obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. Each Selling

25

Stockholders shall have no obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 unless such Selling Stockholder would otherwise have been required to provide indemnification with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability.  In addition, in no case shall any Selling Shareholder be required to provide indemnification and/or contribution pursuant to this Section 8 in an amount greater than the net proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Offered Securities sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder.

(f)                                   The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholders within the meaning of the Act.

9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Selling Stockholders, of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Selling Stockholders, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities.  If for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriter is not consummated, the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 6 and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders, and the Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 6 shall also remain in effect.  If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriter is not consummated for any reason other than the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(d), the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of- pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

10. Notices.  All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriter, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to UBS Securities LLC, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Syndicate (fax: (212) 713-3371) or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at 7132 Regal Lane, Knoxville, Tennessee 37918, Attention: General Counsel, with a copy to Keith Trammell, at Hogan Lovells US LLP, 1601 Wewatta St., Suite 900, Denver, Colorado 80202; or, if sent to the Selling Stockholders, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to The Anschutz Corporation and AFIC II LLC, c/o Scott T.

The undersigned understands that UBS Securities LLC (the “Underwriter”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Regal Entertainment Group, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Selling Stockholders named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Selling Stockholders”), providing for the secondary offering (“Offering”) by the Underwriter of shares (the “Shares”) of the Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

To induce the Underwriter to participate in the Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, for so long as the undersigned is an employee or director of the Company or would be required to report a disposition under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (but in any case for no longer than the restricted period or any extension thereof), without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 60 days (the “restricted period”) after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock by bona fide gift, will or intestacy, (c) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to general or limited partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned and partnerships or limited liability companies for the benefit of the immediate family of the undersigned and the partners and members of which are only the undersigned and the immediate family of the undersigned, (d) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common

Stock to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (e) dispositions of shares of Common Stock to the Company (A) solely to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock, the vesting of restricted shares of Common Stock, or the settling of restricted stock, provided that in the related Form 4 the undersigned notes in a footnote that such transfer was undertaken solely to satisfy tax withholding obligations or (B) in connection with the rights of the Company to cause the undersigned to sell shares of Common Stock in effect on the date hereof, (f) 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 such plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of Common Stock during the restricted period and no filing or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period (as the same may be extended as provided herein) by the undersigned or the Company as a result of the establishment of any such plan, (g) the transfer of shares of Common Stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed, together with all shares of Common Stock transferred by the Company’s executive officers and directors subject to a “lock-up” in connection with the Offering, 150,000 shares of Common Stock (which aggregate amount shall not be deemed to include transfers of shares of Common Stock by any such directors or executive officers in reliance upon any other clause hereof) or (h) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to a tax-exempt non-profit organization (but, for the avoidance of doubt, in an aggregate amount not to exceed, together with sales by the undersigned during any 90-day period, the volume permitted to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to Rule 144(e) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and provided that such transfers shall not be voluntarily reported on a Form 4; provided, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (d), (1) each donee, distributee, trustee or transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter and (2) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period (other than a Form 5).  For the purposes of this agreement, “immediate family” shall include any spouse, or any lineal ancestor or descendent, niece, nephew, adopted child, or sibling of him or her or of such spouse, niece, nephew or adopted child. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending upon expiration of the restricted period (as the same may be extended as provided herein), 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.  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 Underwriter are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Offering.  The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.  Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter.
