The
Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional 685,246 shares of its common stock, par value $0.00015 per share (the “Additional Shares”) if and to the extent that Morgan

year of the Company and its subsidiaries; (B) an increase in the “accumulated post-retirement benefit obligations” (within the meaning of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 106) of the Company and its subsidiaries compared

Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from such Seller at $42.02 a share (the “Purchase
Price”) the number of Firm Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as Morgan Stanley may determine) that bears the same proportion to the number of Firm Shares to be sold by such Seller as the number of Firm
Shares set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.
On the basis
of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Shares, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and
not jointly, up to 685,246 Additional Shares at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and

Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as Morgan Stanley may reasonably request.
(b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, to furnish to
Morgan Stanley a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which Morgan Stanley reasonably objects, and to file with the Commission within the applicable period specified in
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act any prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such Rule.
(c) To prepare and
file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), as promptly as possible and in any event no later than the Closing, the Prospectus setting forth the amount of Shares covered thereby and the terms thereof not otherwise specified in the preliminary

(d) To furnish to Morgan Stanley a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on
behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and not to use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which Morgan Stanley reasonably objects.
(e) Not to take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(f) If the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet
available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not
misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters,
it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments
or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Prospectus is delivered to a prospective purchaser,
be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement, or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
24
(g) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of
the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any
event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to
in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file
with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses Morgan Stanley will furnish to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters and
to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof the
notice referred to in Rule 173(a) of the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law.
(h) If required by applicable law, to endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of such jurisdictions as Morgan Stanley shall reasonably request; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject
it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Shares, or taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(i) To make generally available to the Company’s security holders and to Morgan Stanley as soon as practicable an
earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the

more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), and (ii) proof of delivery to the IRS of the required notice, as
described in Treasury Regulations 1.897-2(h)(2).
(k) If at any time following the
distribution of any Testing-the-Waters Communication that is a written communication within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act there occurred or occurs an
event or development as a result of which such Testing-the-Waters Communication included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify Morgan Stanley and will promptly amend or supplement, at
its own expense, such Testing-the-Waters Communication to eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.
25
The Company also covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior written consent of
Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period ending 60 days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Restricted Period”), (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 or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap, loan or other arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option,
or combination thereof, forward or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, 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, (3) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering
of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

contained in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant (including net exercise), settlement of
restricted stock units (including net settlement) or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof as described in each of the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus, (C) the grant of compensatory equity-based awards and/or the
issuance of shares of Common Stock with respect thereto, or the filing of any registration statement on Form S-8 (including any resale registration statement on Form
S-8) relating to securities granted, issued or to be granted pursuant to any equity incentive plans or employment benefit plans described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus, (D) Common Stock or
any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock, or the entrance into an agreement to issue Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock, in connection with any
merger, joint venture, strategic alliances, commercial or other collaborative transaction or the acquisition or license of the business, property, technology or other assets of another individual or entity or the assumption of an employee benefit
plan in connection with a merger or acquisition; provided that the aggregate number of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock that the Company may issue or agree to issue pursuant to this
clause (D) shall not exceed 10% of the total outstanding share capital of the Company immediately following the issuance of the Shares, (E) facilitating the establishment of a trading plan on behalf of a shareholder, officer or director of
the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the
Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing
26
under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect
that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period or (F) any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment
plan referred to in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus. If Morgan Stanley, in its sole discretion, agrees to release or waive the restrictions on the transfer of Shares set forth in a Lock-up Agreement for an officer or director of the Company and provides the Company with notice of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of the release or waiver,
the Company agrees to announce the impending release or waiver by a press release substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.
(l) The Company will use its best efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
8. Covenants of the Sellers. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, covenants with each Underwriter as follows:
(a) Each Seller will deliver to each Underwriter (or its agent), prior to or at the Closing Date, a properly completed and
executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or an IRS Form W-8, as appropriate, together with all required attachments to such form.
(b) Each Seller will deliver to each Underwriter (or its agent), on the date of execution of this Agreement, a properly
completed and executed Certification Regarding Beneficial Owners of Legal Entity Customers, together with copies of identifying documentation, and each Seller undertakes to provide such additional supporting documentation as each Underwriter may
reasonably request in connection with the verification of the foregoing Certification.
9. Expenses. Whether or not the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Selling Shareholder agrees to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of their and the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement to the extent such expenses are reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket, including the following expenses to the extent such expenses are reasonable,
documented and out-of-pocket: (i) the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel, the Company’s accountants and
counsel for the Selling Shareholder in connection with the registration and delivery of the Shares under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary

in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of the Shares by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (provided that such reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters pursuant to this
clause (iv) shall not exceed $15,000), (v) all costs and expenses incident to listing the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, (vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Shares, (vii) the costs and charges of
any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares, including,
without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the
road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show,
(ix) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholder hereunder for which
provision is not otherwise made in this Section; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) all such expenses invoiced and payable by the Selling Shareholder under this Section 9 as of the
Closing Date (the “Company Expenses”) shall be paid solely out of, and netted against, the proceeds otherwise payable to the Selling Shareholder from the sale of the Shares on the Closing Date, (B) on or prior to the Closing
Date, the Company shall deliver to the Selling Shareholder a good-faith estimate of all expenses described in this Section 9 that remain unpaid or uninvoiced as of the Closing Date but that are expected to be incurred or invoiced following the
Closing Date, and (C) the actual amounts of expenses payable by the Selling Shareholder under this Section 9 not incurred or invoiced as of the Closing Date shall be paid by the Selling Shareholder directly to the Company promptly (but in
no event later than 10 business days) following the delivery of an invoice for such expenses to the Selling Shareholder. It is understood, however, that the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to pay the cost of any other matters not directly
relating to the sale and purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and except as provided in this Section, Section 11 entitled “Indemnity and Contribution” and the last paragraph of Section 13 below, the Underwriters
will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.
28
The provisions of this Section shall not supersede or otherwise affect any agreement that
the Sellers may otherwise have for the allocation of such expenses among themselves.
10. Covenants of the Underwriters. Each
Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such
Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter.
11.

of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the
Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any “road show” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”),
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through Morgan Stanley expressly for use therein, it
being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriters through Morgan Stanley consists of the information described as such in paragraph (c) below.
(b) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) 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 Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (ii) each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and their
respective directors, officers and employees, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other
29
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the
Securities Act, any road show, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication (any such document, an “Offering
Document”) or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, 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 any Offering Document in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Shareholder Information. The “Selling Shareholder
Information” shall mean (i) the legal name, address and the number of Shares owned by such Selling Shareholder before and after the offering and (ii) the other information with respect to such Selling Shareholder (excluding
percentages) which appear in the table (and corresponding footnotes) under the caption “Selling Stockholder.” The liability of the Selling Shareholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an
amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares hereunder.
(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Selling Shareholder,
the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or
claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any
road show, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through Morgan Stanley expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of
Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information
in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the selling concession amount appearing in the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting”, and the information concerning stabilization in the fourteenth paragraph under
the caption “Underwriting” (the “Underwriter Information”).
30
(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall
be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may
be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any
others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any
such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties 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 Morgan Stanley. 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. The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from
and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity
could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, does not include a statement
as to, or an admission of fault, wrongdoing, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
31
(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a),
11(b) or 11(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(e)(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 11(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other
hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Sellers on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by each Seller and the
total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Sellers 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 Sellers or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 11 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The liability of the Selling Shareholder under the contribution agreement contained in this
paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Shares hereunder.
(f) The Sellers and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
Section 11(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares
32
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 11 and the representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholder contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder or any person controlling the Selling Shareholder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or
any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
12. Termination. The
Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by Morgan Stanley to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to or on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (i) trading
generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market,
(iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State
authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, or any calamity or crisis that, in Morgan Stanley’s judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or
together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in Morgan Stanley’s judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
13. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon
the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one
or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused
to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares
set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to
33
the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as Morgan Stanley
may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase
pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 13 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date,
any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of
Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to Morgan Stanley, the Company and the Selling Shareholder for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate
without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholder. In any such case either Morgan Stanley or the relevant Sellers shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on
an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than
one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to
(i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such
non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of
any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because
of any failure or refusal on the part of any Seller to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason any Seller shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Sellers will
reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the
fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
14. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to
the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the
preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
34
(b) The Company and the Selling Shareholder acknowledge that in connection
with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, the Selling Shareholder or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and
the Selling Shareholder only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriters may have
interests that differ from those of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, and (iv) none of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or
solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company and the Selling Shareholder waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an
alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.
(c) The Selling Shareholder further
acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide the Selling Shareholder with certain Regulation Best Interest 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 Shares at the Purchase Price, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a
recommendation.
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 State.
(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.
For purposes

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 the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be
interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned
understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with PDF Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) and the selling stockholder named therein, providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters named therein, including Morgan Stanley (the
“Underwriters”), of shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.00015 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the
undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending immediately
after the close of the Trading Day occurring on the 60th day after the date of the final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relating to the Public Offering (the “60th Day”) or, if the 60th Day is not a Trading Day, ending immediately after the close of the last Trading Day immediately preceding
the 60th Day (such period of time between the date hereof and, as the case may be, the 60th Day or the last Trading Day immediately preceding
the 60th Day, referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”), (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 owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned
has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (including, without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))) and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any hedging, swap, loan or other arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward or
any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, 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 undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions
designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition of any Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, 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. For purposes of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”), a “Trading Day” is a day on which the Nasdaq
Global Select Market is open for the buying and selling of securities.
The foregoing shall not apply to the following, provided
that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below, (A) each donee, devisee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, shall sign and deliver a
lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement for the balance of the Restricted Period, (B) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (C) such transfers are not
required to be reported during the Restricted Period in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on Form 4 or Form 5 (or, in the case of sub-clause
(b)(i)-(viii) or clause (c), any filing, if required, shall indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to circumstances described in the relevant sub-clause) and (D) the undersigned does
not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:
(a) transactions relating to shares of Common
Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the closing date of the Public Offering, provided that no public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is voluntarily made during the Restricted
Period (and if such a filing is required, such filing must disclose that such transfer was made pursuant to a valid exemption from this Agreement),
(b) transfers, dispositions or distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as: (i) a bona fide
gift, including, without limitation, to a charitable organization or educational institution, or for bona fide estate or tax planning purposes, (ii) by will, testamentary document or intestacy, (iii) by operation of law, such as
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement, (iv) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the undersigned, (v) to any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (as defined in FINRA Rule 5130(i)(5)) are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or
similar interests, (vi) to any member of the undersigned’s immediate family or to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or any member of the
undersigned’s immediate family, or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of the beneficiary of such trust, (vii) to any nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or
transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (vi) above, or (viii) to the Company upon the undersigned’s death, disability or termination of employment or other service relationship with the Company; provided that
such Common Stock was issued to the undersigned pursuant to an agreement or equity award granted pursuant to an employee benefit plan, option, warrant or other right disclosed in the Prospectus,
(c) if the undersigned is not an individual, distributions of shares of Common Stock or any
security convertible into Common Stock to: (i) another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of
the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the undersigned
is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (ii) as part of a distribution to limited partners, limited liability company members or stockholders of the
undersigned or holders of similar equity interests in the undersigned,
(d) facilitating the establishment of a trading plan on behalf of
a stockholder, officer or director of the Company pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the
transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the
establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period,
(e) to the Company in connection with the vesting, exercise or settlement of options, warrants, restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock (including, in each case, by way of “net” or “cashless” exercise), including for the payment of exercise price and tax and remittance payments due
as a result of the vesting, exercise or settlement of such options, warrants, RSUs or rights, provided that any shares of Common Stock received upon such vesting, exercise or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and
provided further that any such options, warrants, RSUs or rights are held by the undersigned pursuant to (A) an agreement or (B) equity awards granted under an equity incentive plan, stock purchase plan or other equity award plan
(each, an “Equity Plan”), each such agreement or Equity Plan which is described in the Prospectus; provided further that, if any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act on Form 4 or Form 5 is required in connection with any such vesting, exercise or settlement, such filing shall indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to circumstances described in this clause (e),
(f) in connection with the sale or other transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock to satisfy any tax obligations or payments
(including estimated taxes) due as a result of (A) the exercise of stock options or (B) the settlement of RSUs pursuant to awards granted under an Equity Plan described in the Prospectus, provided that, in each case, any remaining
shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise or settlement shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided further that, if any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act on Form 4 or Form 5 is required in connection with any such sale or other transfer, such filing shall indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to circumstances described in this clause (f),
(g) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar
transaction that is approved by the board of directors of the Company and made to all holders of the Company’s capital stock involving a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company (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
if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity)); provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger,
consolidation or other similar transaction is not completed, the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock and any other securities subject to this Agreement shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement, or
(h) the exercise of options, the vesting or settlement of RSUs or other equity awards or the exercise of warrants granted pursuant to Equity
Plans or agreements described in the Prospectus; provided that any shares of Common Stock received upon such vesting, exercise or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not,
during the Restricted Period, 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 hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement. 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.
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 of the Shares and the undersigned has consulted its 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 Shares 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.
Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including
market conditions. 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.
The undersigned understands that, if (i) Morgan Stanley, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, informs the other in
writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be
terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the securities to be sold thereunder, or (iii) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed on or before May 29, 2026 (provided that the Company may, by written notice to the undersigned prior
to such date, extend such date for a period of up to one additional month), then, in each case, this Agreement shall automatically, and without any action on the part of any other party, be of no further force and effect, and the undersigned shall
be automatically released from all obligations under this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement. Electronic signatures complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§
301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement. Transmission by telecopy, electronic mail or other transmission method of an
executed counterpart of this Agreement will constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.

Re: Registration Statement No. 333-295834; 5,253,554 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00015 per
share
To the addressee set forth above:
We have acted as special counsel to PDF Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with
(i) the issuance of up to 1,946,630 shares (the “Company Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00015 per share (the “Common Stock”), by the Company and (ii) the
sale of up to 3,306,924 shares (the “Selling Stockholder Shares” and together with the Company Shares, the “Shares”) of Common Stock by the selling stockholder named in the Preliminary Prospectus
(as defined below) and the Prospectus (as defined below). The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 13, 2026 (Registration No. 333-295834) (the
“Registration Statement”), including a base prospectus dated May 13, 2026 (the “Base Prospectus”), a preliminary prospectus supplement dated May 13, 2026 filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement dated May 13, 2026 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act
(together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). The Shares are being sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated May 13, 2026, among the Company, the selling stockholder named therein and Morgan
Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or related Prospectus, other than as
expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of
law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such
factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:
1.
The Company Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and when the
Company Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) in the
circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice
requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
May 13, 2026

2.
The Selling Stockholder Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and
are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration
Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 15, 2026 and to the reference to our firm in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such
consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Sincerely,
