1. Representations
and Warranties.
(i) The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter and the Selling Shareholder as set forth below in this Section 1.
(a) The
Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and has prepared and filed with the SEC a registration
statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-267223), including the related Base Prospectus, for the registration of the offering and sale
of the Securities under the Securities Act. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution
Time, has become effective. Any preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Securities the Company may have filed with the SEC,
as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), have previously been furnished to you. The Company
will file with the SEC a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b) after the Execution
Time. As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain, in all material respects, all information required by the Securities
Act and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the
form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific
additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company
has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets
the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act. The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement
was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.
(b) On
each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and
on the Closing Date (as defined herein) and on any date on which Option Securities are purchased, if such date is not the Closing Date
(a “settlement date”), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; on each Effective Date, at the Execution Time and on the Closing
Date, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and on the date of any filing pursuant
to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date and any settlement date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto)
will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or 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; provided, however, that the Company makes
no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus
(or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of
any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any
supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information
described as such in Section 8 hereof.

as a whole with the Disclosure Package and the price to the public, the number of Underwritten Securities and the number of Option Securities
to be included on the cover page of the Final Prospectus, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package or such other information
based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically
for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists
of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.
(d) (i) At
the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide
offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) under the Securities and (ii) as of the Execution Time (with such date being
used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in
Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the SEC pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company
be considered an Ineligible Issuer.
(e) Each
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement,
including any document incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been
superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically
for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists
of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

paid and non-assessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, all outstanding shares
of capital stock or other equity interests of the subsidiaries are owned by the Company either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries

the sale of the Securities.

decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body,
arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, except
in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such conflicts, breaches, violations, liens, charges or encumbrances that would

(e) The
Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by the principal executive officer or the President

arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and
the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
(f) The
Selling Shareholder shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, signed by an authorized officer of the Selling Shareholder,

(g) The
Company shall have requested and caused RSM US LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time and at the Closing
Date or any such settlement date, as applicable, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to one or more of the Representative),
each dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date or any such settlement date, as applicable, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Representatives, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort
letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in the Registration
Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date and any such settlement
date shall use a “cut-off date” not earlier than three business days prior to such Closing Date or any such settlement date,
as applicable.
(h) Subsequent
to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment
thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been any change or decrease specified in
the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 6, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to above,
is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
(i) Prior
to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as

to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or
facsimile confirmed in writing.
The documents required to be
delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at 787 Seventh
Avenue, New York, NY 10019, on the Closing Date.
7. Reimbursement
of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10
hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any Selling Shareholder to perform any agreement
herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the
Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for reasonably incurred expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees
and disbursements of counsel and fees and expenses as set forth in Section 5(i)(i)) that shall have been incurred by them in connection
with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter
and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law 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 a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in Base Prospectus, any Preliminary
Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act or in any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action; provided, however, that the Company will 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 any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter
through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have.
(b) The
Selling Shareholder severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the
meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but
only with respect to written information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder specifically
for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, it being understood and agreed that such information only consists
of the legal name and address of such Selling Shareholder and the information relating to its holdings of Common Stock (and corresponding
footnotes) under the caption “Selling Shareholder” in the Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Selling Shareholder may otherwise have.
(c) Each
Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act and the Selling Shareholder and each person who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information
relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for
inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company and the Selling Shareholder acknowledge that the statements set forth in the Preliminary
Prospectus and the Final Prospectus in the second paragraph under the heading “Underwriting – Commissions and Expenses”
and in the first paragraph and the first and second sentences of the second paragraph under the heading “Underwriting – Stabilization
and Short Positions” constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion
in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(d) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 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 this Section 8, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and
such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in
any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation
provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party’s choice 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; provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. 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 the Selling Shareholder and all persons, if any, who
control any Selling Shareholder 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 Shareholder and such control persons of the Selling Shareholder, such firm
shall be designated in writing by the Selling Shareholder. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint
counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if
(i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a
conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to
such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or
an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) In
the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason (other than the limitations on indemnification specified therein),
the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively, “Losses”) to which the Company, the Selling Shareholder and one or more of the Underwriters may be
subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as
applicable, on the one hand, and by the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities. If the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the
Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
Benefits received by the Company and by the Selling Shareholder shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholder, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed
to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final
Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the
Company or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and
their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined
by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), in no event shall any Underwriter be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the
offering of the Securities 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 and no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amounts by which the aggregate public offering price as set forth in the Prospectus, less underwriting
discounts (but before expenses) of the shares sold by such Selling Shareholder under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any
damages that such Selling Shareholder 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. For
purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution
as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same
rights to contribution as the Company, and each person who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Selling Shareholder, subject in each case to the applicable
terms and conditions of this paragraph (e).
(f) The
liability of the Selling Shareholder under such Selling Shareholder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 1
hereof and under the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall be limited to an amount equal to the
initial public offering price of the Securities sold by the Selling Shareholder to the Underwriters, less the underwriting discounts
and commissions with respect thereto (but before expenses). The Company and the Selling Shareholder may agree, as among themselves and
without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of such liability for which they each
shall be responsible.
9. Default
by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased
by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions
which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities
set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II
hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the
Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability
to any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Selling Shareholder or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in
this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall
determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements
may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company,
the Selling Shareholder and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination.
This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior
to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s
Common Stock shall have been suspended by the SEC or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended
or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either
by Federal or New York State authorities, (iii) there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or securities
settlement or clearance services or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the
United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make
it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities
as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).
11. Representations
and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company
or its officers, of the Selling Shareholder and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Selling Shareholder or the Company or
any of the officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive
delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation
of this Agreement.
12. Notices.
All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered

13. Successors.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers,
directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or
obligation hereunder.
14. Jurisdiction.
The Company agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees,
affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement
or the sale of the Securities may be instituted in any state or U.S. federal court in The City of New York and County of New York, and
waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby appoints CT Corporation as its authorized
agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
based upon this Agreement or the sale of the Securities that may be instituted in any state or U.S. federal court in The City of New
York and County of New York, by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of any Underwriter, or by
any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such
suit, action or proceeding. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has
agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and
all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized
Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising
out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted by any Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of
any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Indiana.
15. 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 15,
“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k); “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity”
as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (ii) a “covered bank”
as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b) or (iii) a “covered FSI”
as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b); “Default Right” has

promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated

16. No
Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the determination of the public offering price of the Securities and any
interaction that the underwriters have with the Company, the Selling Shareholder and/or their respective representatives or agents
in relation thereto, is part of an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the
one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting
as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Shareholder and, with respect to any natural person
Selling Shareholder, the interactions engaged in with respect to this Agreement or the sale of the Securities between the
Underwriters and any such affiliates, on the one hand, and any such Selling Shareholder and any such representatives or agents, on
the other, will not be deemed to form a relationship with such Selling Shareholder that would require any Underwriter to treat the
Selling Shareholder as a “retail customer” for purposes of Regulation Best Interest (“Reg BI”) pursuant to
Rule 15l-1 of the Exchange Act, or a “retail investor” for purposes of Form CRS (“Form CRS”)
pursuant to Rule 17a-14 of the Exchange Act and (c) the engagement of the Underwriters by the Company and the Selling
Shareholder in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any
other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and the Selling Shareholder agree that they are solely responsible for making their own
judgments in connection with the offering and other matters addressed herein or contemplated hereby (irrespective of whether any of
the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Shareholder on related or other matters). The
Company and the Selling Shareholder also acknowledge and agree that the Underwriters have not rendered to them any investment
advisory services of any nature or respect and will not claim that the Underwriters owe any agency, fiduciary or similar duty to
them, in connection with the offering and such other matters or the process leading thereto. In addition, any natural person Selling
Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not made any recommendation to them with respect to their
personal circumstances in connection with the offering or such other matters or the process leading thereto and that the
Underwriters have not assumed any type of obligation under Reg BI or Form CRS in respect of any natural person Selling
Shareholder as a result of entry into this Agreement or the activities contemplated hereby. The Selling Shareholder further
acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide the Selling Shareholder with certain Reg BI and Form CRS
disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to the
Selling Shareholder to participate in the offering or sell any Underwritten Securities at the purchase price set forth in
Section 2 above, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is
making such a recommendation. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that in any and all discussions with the Underwriters in
connection with this Agreement and the matters contemplated hereby, that the Underwriters are providing services solely to the
Company and all such employees, officers or directors of the Company engaged in such discussions are acting solely as
representatives of the Company not in their individual or personal capacity as potential selling shareholders or as representatives
of the Selling Shareholder, and that any view expressed or recommendation that may be deemed to be made by the Underwriters is
expressed or made solely to and for the benefit of the Company.
17. Integration.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters,
or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
18. Applicable
Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts
made and to be performed within the State of New York.

any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the sale of the Securities.

As Representatives of the several Underwriters,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is being delivered to you in connection
with the proposed underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between V2X, Inc., an Indiana corporation
(the “Company”), the Selling Shareholder (as defined therein) and you as representatives of a group of Underwriters
named therein, relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of Common Stock, $0.01
par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.
In order to induce you and the other Underwriters
to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Number of Representatives
(as defined below), offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to,
or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to
cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or
any affiliate of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease
a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company
or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock (the “Lock-Up Securities”),
or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period from the date hereof until 45 days after the date of the
Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”). “Requisite Number of Representatives” means (i) all
of the Representatives during the 10-day period staring on, and including, the date such notice is given by the Company and (ii) two
of the three Representatives after completion of such 10-day period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Number of Representatives:
(a) transfer any Lock-Up
Securities acquired in the Public Offering, provided that such transfer is not required to be reported during the Lock-Up Period with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);
(b) transfer the Lock-Up
Securities provided that (1) in the case of clauses (i) through (vi) below, the Representatives receives a signed lock-up
agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, substantially
in the form of this letter agreement, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) in the case of clauses
(i) through (iv) below, such transfers are not required to be reported during the Lock-Up Period with the SEC on Form 4
in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public
filing or report regarding such transfers during the Lock-Up Period:
(i) as
a bona fide gift or gifts; or
(ii) to
any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up
agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);
or
(iii) as
a distribution to limited partners, members, stockholders or other equity holders of the undersigned; or
(iv) to
the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity that directly, or indirectly, controls or manages, is controlled
or managed by, or is under common control or management with, the undersigned; or
(v) by
will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, provided that, any required filing under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act made during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described
above; or
(vi) pursuant
to a court order, a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement provided that, any required filing under Section 16
of the Exchange Act made during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances
described above.
(c) exercise
any rights to purchase, exchange or convert any stock options granted to the undersigned pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive
plans described to in the prospectus relating to the Public Offering, or any warrants or other securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, which warrants or other securities are described in the prospectus relating to the Public
Offering, provided that (1) the underlying shares of Common Stock continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth
in this lock-up agreement, (2) any required filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made during the Lock-Up Period shall
clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (A) the filing relates to the circumstances described above and (B) the underlying
shares of Common Stock continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this lock-up agreement and (3) the undersigned
does not otherwise voluntarily effect any other public filings or reports regarding such exercise during the Lock-Up Period;
(d) transfer
Lock-Up Securities pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, or in connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction,
that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, made to all holders of the Company’s capital stock involving a change
of control of the Company; provided that, in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other transaction is not completed,
such securities shall remain subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this lock-up agreement; provided, further, that any
shares of Common Stock not transferred in such third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation, or other similar transaction shall remain
subject to the provisions of this lock-up agreement (for purposes hereof, “change of control” shall mean the transfer (whether
by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person
or group of affiliated persons, of shares of capital stock of the Company if, after such transaction or transactions, such person or
group of affiliated persons would hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity));
(e) transfer
Lock-Up Securities to the Company upon (i) a vesting event of any equity award granted under any equity incentive plan or stock
purchase plan of the Company described in the prospectus relating to the Public Offering, or (ii) upon the exercise by the undersigned
of options or warrants in accordance with clause (b) above, in each case, on a “net” or “cashless” exercise
basis, and/or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection therewith, provided, in each case, that (1) any
filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that
the filing relates to the circumstances described above, as applicable, (2) no Lock-Up Securities were sold by the reporting person
other than such transfers to the Company as described above and (3) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any other
public filings or reports regarding such transfers during the Lock-Up Period; and
(f) sell
or transfer Lock-Up Securities pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“10b5-1
Trading Plan”) that has been entered into by the undersigned prior to the date of this lock-up agreement; provided, however,
that (A) any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate in the footnotes
thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described above and (B) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect
any other public filings or report regarding such sales or transfers during the Lock-Up Period.
Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, nothing in this lock-up agreement shall prevent the undersigned from establishing a 10b5-1 Trading Plan or from
amending an existing 10b5-l Trading Plan so long as there are no sales of Lock-Up Securities under such plan during the Lock-Up Period;
and provided that, the establishment of a 10b5-1 Trading Plan or the amendment of a 10b5-l Trading Plan, in either case, providing for
sales of Lock-Up Securities shall only be permitted if (i) any public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act by or on behalf
of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of
Lock-Up Securities may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period, and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily
effect any public filing or report regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan during the Lock-Up Period.
Furthermore, the undersigned
may sell shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the undersigned from the Underwriters in the Public Offering or on the open
market following the Public Offering if and only if (i) such sales are not required to be reported during the Lock-Up Period in
any public report or filing with the SEC, or otherwise and (ii) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public
filing or report regarding such sales during the Lock-Up Period.
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 Public Offering and the undersigned has consulted with 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 the undersigned in connection
with the Public Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to the undersigned to participate in the Public Offering or
sell any Common Stock at the price determined in the Public Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended
to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.
The undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction designed or intended, or which
could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any Lock-Up Securities, even if any such sale or disposition
transaction or transactions would be made or executed by or on behalf of someone other than the undersigned.
The undersigned understands
that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned
further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns. This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
If for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall
be terminated prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), the agreement set forth above shall likewise be terminated.
The undersigned understands that (1) whether
or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions, and (2) any Public Offering
will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
