(hhh) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise disclosed in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, the Company, OpCo and each of their Subsidiaries are insured by insurers with appropriately rated claims paying abilities against such losses and risks as is reasonably adequate for the conduct of the businesses in which it is engaged and for the value of its properties and in such amounts as are reasonably prudent and customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries; all insurance policies and fidelity or surety bonds insuring the Company, OpCo and their Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect; the Company, OpCo and their Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies in all material respects; and neither the Company, OpCo nor any of their Subsidiaries has been refused any material insurance coverage sought or applied for. There are no material claims by the Company, OpCo or any of their Subsidiaries under any such policy as to which any insurer is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause; and neither the Company, OpCo nor any of their Subsidiaries has reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) With respect to grants of stock options (“Stock Options”), if any, (i) each Stock Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (together, the “Code”), so qualifies, (ii) each grant of a Stock Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Stock Option was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the board of directors of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary(ies) (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof) and any required

stockholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement governing such grant (if any), to the Company’s knowledge, was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto, (iii) each such grant was made in all material respects in accordance with (x) the terms of any stock- or equity-based compensation plan or other employee compensation plan or arrangement established or maintained by the Company or its Subsidiaries existing on the date hereof (together, the “Stock Plans”), (y) the Exchange Act and (z) the rules of NYSE and any other exchange on which the Company’s securities are traded, and (iv) each such grant was properly accounted for in accordance with GAAP in the financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company.

(jjj) Each “employee benefit plan” (as defined under Section 3(3) of ERISA) established or maintained by the Company, OpCo, their Subsidiaries or their ERISA Affiliates existing on the date hereof (each, an “Employee Plan”) is, and has been maintained and administered, in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, the Code and all other applicable state and federal laws and regulations except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043(c) of ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Employee Plans except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No failure to satisfy the minimum funding standard (within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 and 430 of the Code), whether or not waived, has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Employee Plan is, or is reasonably expected to be, in “at risk status” (as defined under Section 303(i) of ERISA). The fair market value of the assets under each Employee Plan (excluding for these purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) exceeds the present value of all benefits accrued under such Employee Plan (determined based on those assumptions used to fund such Employee Plan). Neither the Company, OpCo, their Subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any Employee Plans (including any “multiemployer plan”, as defined in ERISA) or (ii) Sections 412, 4971 , 4975 or 4980B of the Code, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion issued by the IRS, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification. No prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred with respect to any Employee Plan excluding transactions to which a statutory or administrative prohibited transaction exemption applies, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the following events has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur: (A) a material increase in the aggregate amount of contributions required to be made to all Employee Plans by the Company or its ERISA Affiliates in the current fiscal year of the Company and its ERISA Affiliates’ most recently completed fiscal year; or (B) a material increase in the Company, OpCo and their Subsidiaries’ “accumulated post-retirement benefit obligations” (within the meaning of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715-60) compared to the amount of such obligations in the Company, OpCo and their Subsidiaries’ most recently completed fiscal year. For the purpose of this Agreement, “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a

Subsidiary, any member of any group or organization described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code of which the Company, OpCo or such Subsidiary is a member.

(mmm) In connection with the Directed Share Program, the Company will ensure that the Directed Shares will be restricted to the extent required by FINRA or the FINRA rules from sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation for a period of three months following the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Representatives will notify the Company as to which Participants will need to be so restricted.

Subject to the limitations in this Section 6, the Company and OpCo agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents thereof and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable and documented costs of investigation and reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, the “Damages”), joint or several, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, any Free Writing Prospectus (including any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication prepared or authorized by the Company, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that any such Damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through you for use in connection therewith; provided, however, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6 shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter or to any officer, director, employee or agent of such Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such Damages purchased the Shares concerned if both (A) a copy of the Time of Sale Information was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Shares to such person as required by the Act and (B) the untrue statement or omission in such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Time of Sale Information. The indemnification provided in this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company or OpCo may otherwise have.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Representatives and their Affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Representatives within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Designated Entities”), from and against any and all Damages (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any material prepared by or with the consent of the Company for distribution to Participants in connection with the Directed Share Program or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) arising out of or based upon the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of Directed Shares that the Participant agreed to purchase; or (iii) arising out of, related to, or in connection with the Directed Share Program, other than Damages (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Designated Entities.

6.2. In addition to its other obligations under this Section 6, the Company agrees that, as an interim measure during the pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 1 hereof or failure to perform its obligations hereunder, all as set forth in this Section 6, the Party against whom indemnification is being sought will reimburse each Underwriter on a monthly basis for all reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding (to the extent documented by reasonably itemized invoices therefor), notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the obligation of the Company and OpCo to reimburse each Underwriter for such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any such interim reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, each Underwriter shall promptly return it to the person(s) from whom it was received. Any such interim reimbursement payments that are not made to the Underwriters within sixty (60) days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest compounded daily at a rate determined on the basis of the base lending rate announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal from the date of such request.

6.3. If (i) any action, suit, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) or claim shall be brought by any third party against any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter (each, an “Indemnified Party” and together, the “Indemnified Parties”) and (ii) indemnity may be sought against the Company and OpCo pursuant to Section 6.1 (the “Indemnifying Party”) in respect of such action, suit, proceeding or claim, (a) the Indemnified Party(ies) shall promptly notify in writing the Indemnifying Party, and (b) such Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of the Indemnified Party(ies), including the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party(ies) and the payment of all reasonable and documented fees of and expenses incurred by such counsel, provided that (y) the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under

this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and (z) the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 6. The Indemnified Party(ies) shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit, proceeding or claim and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party(ies), unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party(ies) or (iii) the named parties to any such action, suit, proceeding or claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party(ies) and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party(ies) shall have been advised by its (their) counsel that one or more legal defenses may be available to it that may not be available to the Indemnified Party(ies), or that representation of the Indemnified Party(ies) and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party(ies) but the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties). Any such own counsel for (i) any Underwriter, the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents thereof, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and (ii) the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment, but in the case of a judgment only to the extent stated in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof.

6.4. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and OpCo, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and any person who controls the Company and OpCo within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the several indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Free Writing Prospectus (including any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or any amendment or supplement thereto, which information is specified in Section 6.10. If (i) any action, suit, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation) or claim shall be brought or asserted against the Company, any of its directors, any of its officers or any such controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any Free Writing Prospectus (including any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus), or any amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) indemnity may be sought against any Underwriter pursuant to this

Agreement in respect of such action, suit, proceeding or claim, such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company by Section 6.3 (except that, if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, such Underwriter shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel in such action, suit, proceeding or claim and participate in the defense of the Company, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Underwriter’s expense), and the Company, any of its directors, any of its officers and any such controlling persons, shall have the rights and duties given to the Underwriters by Section 6.3.

6.5. In any event, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of each of the Representatives, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any current or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which an indemnification may be sought under Section 6.1 hereof (whether or not the Representatives or any person who controls the Representatives within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of all Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory thereto, from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Underwriters and any such controlling person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any Underwriter (or any such controlling person) shall have requested the Company to reimburse such Underwriter (or controlling person) for any fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6.3 hereof, the Company agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (a) such settlement is entered into more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the aforesaid request, (b) the Company shall not have reimbursed such Underwriter (or controlling person) in accordance with such request, or shall not have disputed in good faith such Underwriter’s (or controlling person’s) entitlement to such reimbursement, prior to the date of such settlement and (c) such Underwriter (or controlling person) shall have given the Company at least sixty (60) days’ prior notice of its intention to settle.

6.6. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient for any reason whatsoever to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then an Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, from the offering and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement 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 and several fault of the Company on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative and several benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering and sale of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on

the cover page of the Prospectus; provided that, in the event that the Underwriters shall have purchased any Additional Shares hereunder, any determination of the relative benefits received by the Company or the Underwriters from the offering and the sale of the Additional Shares shall include the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, from the sale of such Additional Shares, in each case computed on the basis of the respective amounts set forth in the notes to the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company 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 on the one hand, or by the Underwriters on the other hand and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

6.7. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 was determined by a 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 into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6.6 hereof. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in Section 6.6 hereof shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any claim, action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 6.1 in respect of such action or proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for each of the Representatives for the defense of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of the Directed Share Program, and all persons, if any, who control the Representatives within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public. 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 Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto (or such numbers of Firm Shares increased as set forth in Section 9 hereof) and not joint. For purposes of this Section 6.7, (i) each Affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of any Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter and (ii) each director and officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company with the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

6.8. Notwithstanding Section 6.2 hereof, any Damages for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 6 shall be paid by the Indemnifying

Party to the Indemnified Party as Damages are incurred after receipt of reasonably itemized invoices therefor.

6.9. A successor to any Underwriter or the Company, the directors or officers of any Underwriters or the Company or any person controlling any Underwriters or the Company as referred to in this Section 6 shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 6. The term “successors” as used herein, shall not include any purchaser of the Shares from any Underwriter merely by reason of such purchase.

6.10. The Underwriters severally confirm and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting” in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus constitute the only information concerning such Underwriters furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Free Writing Prospectus (including any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

7. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations.

9. Defaulting Underwriters.

9.1. If (a) any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder and (b) the aggregate number of Firm Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth (1/10) of the aggregate number of the Firm Shares (including after giving effect to any arrangements between you and the Company for the purchase of the Firm Shares as referred to under Section 9.2 hereof), each non-defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated, severally, in the proportion in which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all non-defaulting Underwriters or in such other proportion as you may specify in any agreement among the Underwriters, to purchase the Firm Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed, but failed or refused to purchase.

9.2. If (a) any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Firm Shares on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, (b) the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth (1/10) of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such Closing Date or Additional Closing Date and (c) arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, either you or the Company shall have the right to:

(i) terminate this Agreement without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or, except as provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof (provided that if

such default occurs with respect to any Additional Shares after the Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Shares or any additional Shares purchased prior to such termination), the Company; or

(ii) postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven (7) days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

9.3. Any action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default thereof under this Agreement.

10. Termination of Agreement.

10.1. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by written notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Shares if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Section 7.1.11, shall have occurred.

The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by the Underwriters’ independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by any Underwriter’s investment banking division. The Company acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such, from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in the Common Stock or any other securities of the Company.

Re: WhiteHawk Income Corporation - Restriction on Stock Sales

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is delivered to you pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by WhiteHawk Income Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as issuer, and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated each as a representative of the Underwriters as named and defined therein (each a “Representative” and collectively, the “Representatives” or “you”). References herein to the Company shall include any successor entity resulting from the Reorganization Transactions (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), including following any change of the Company’s name to “WhiteHawk Minerals Corp.”

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters intend to effect a public offering of the Shares, as described in and contemplated by the Registration Statement (the “Offering”).

The undersigned recognizes that it is in the best financial interests of the undersigned, as

Ex. A-1

an officer/director/owner of stock, options, warrants or other securities of the Company that the Company complete the Offering.

The undersigned further recognizes that the Class A Common Stock and/or the Company’s options, warrants or other securities (together, the “Company Securities”) held by the undersigned are, or may be, subject to certain restrictions on transferability, including those imposed by United States federal securities laws. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the undersigned has agreed to enter into this letter agreement to further assure the Underwriters that the Company Securities of the undersigned, now held or hereafter acquired, will not enter the public market at a time that might impair the underwriting effort.

Therefore, as an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that the undersigned will not (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (collectively, a “Disposition”) of any 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, the “Lock-Up Securities”), pursuant to the Act and the Exchange Act, for a period of 180 days following the consummation of the Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of each of the Representatives or (ii) 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 Disposition of any of the Lock-Up Securities held by the undersigned, or to otherwise participate as a selling securityholder in any manner in any registration effected by the Company under the Act, including under the Registration Statement, during the Lock-Up Period. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging, collar (whether or not for any consideration) or other transaction that is designed to or reasonably expected to lead or result in a Disposition of Lock-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period, even if such Lock-Up Securities would be disposed of by someone other than such holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would 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.

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (a) bona fide gifts, sales or other dispositions of shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock, in each case that are made exclusively between and among the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s family, or affiliates of the undersigned, including its partners (if a partnership) or members (if a limited liability company) or for bona fide estate planning purposes, including without limitation to charitable organizations or educational institutions; provided that it shall be a condition to any transfer pursuant to this clause (a) that (i) the transferee/donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this letter agreement (including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto, (ii) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the

Ex. A-2

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement of the transfer or Disposition prior to the expiration of the 180-day period referred to above, and (iii) the undersigned notifies Raymond James & Associates, Inc. at least two business days prior to the proposed transfer or Disposition, (b) the exercise of share options or vesting or exercise of any other equity-based award granted pursuant to the Company’s share option/incentive plans or any other plan or agreement described in the Registration Statement, Time of Sale Information and/or Prospectus, including any Class A Common Stock (i) withheld by the Company for the payment of taxes due upon such exercise or vesting or (ii) sold to satisfy any tax withholding obligations in connection with such vesting, settlement or exercise, including by means of a “sell to cover” or similar transaction; provided, that (x) no filing or public announcement by any party under the Exchange Act or otherwise shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such exercise or vesting and (y) the terms of this letter agreement shall apply to Lock-Up Securities issued upon such exercise or conversion, (c) the establishment or modification of any contract, instruction or plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no sales of Company Securities or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Company Securities, shall be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to the provisions hereof); provided further, that the Company is not required to report the establishment of such Rule 10b5-1 Plan in any public report or filing with the Commission under the Exchange Act during the Lock-Up Period and does not otherwise voluntarily effect any such public filing or report regarding such Rule 10b5-1 Plan (other than the required disclosure on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, of the entrance into any trading plan during the relevant fiscal quarter, provided that such disclosure includes a statement to the effect that no transfers may be made pursuant to such trading plan during the Restricted Period), (d) transfers, distributions or the surrender of (as the case may be) the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement, [(e)] redemptions of shares of Class B Common Stock in accordance with the LP Agreement for shares of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that no sales of Class A Common Stock received as a result therefrom shall be made prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period[; and (f) any demands or requests for, exercise any right with respect to, or take any action in preparation of, the registration by the Company under the Securities Act of the undersigned’s Common Stock, provided that no transfer of the undersigned’s Common Stock registered pursuant to the exercise of any such right and no registration statement shall be filed under the Securities Act with respect to any of the undersigned’s Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period].¹

In addition, nothing in this letter agreement shall prevent the transfer, conversion, reclassification or exchange of any Lock-Up Securities pursuant to the Reorganization Transactions as described in the Prospectus; provided that any Lock-Up Securities received in the Reorganization Transactions remain subject to the terms of this letter agreement.

It is understood that, if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares, you will release the undersigned from the obligations under this letter agreement.

¹	To be included for Continuing Equity Owners who will be party to the RRA.

Ex. A-3

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Lock-Up Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of 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 reference to choice of law principles thereunder. The undersigned irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the undersigned irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. In the event any action, suit or proceeding is instituted in connection with any dispute relating to this letter agreement or, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including those incurred on appeal, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. For purposes of this Section, “prevailing party” means the party that substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, whether by settlement, judgment or otherwise. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE UNDERSIGNED VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LETTER AGREEMENT.
