keep such Registration Statement continuously effective through the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Registration are no longer Registrable Securities. The Company shall, on the business day following the
effective date of the Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act. 

The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1(a) shall be in addition to the registration

 (b) The Company shall by 20 calendar days
after the closing of the Services and Investment Agreement use its best efforts to prepare and file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the
Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be converted into a Form S-3 promptly after Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering
resales by the Holders as selling shareholders (not underwriters) of all of the Initial Holder Warrants and the underlying Common Shares issuable upon exercise thereof (a “Resale Registration”). The Company shall use its best
efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by 90 calendar days after the closing of the Services and Investment Agreement or sooner, if practicable, and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
through the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Registration are no longer Registrable Securities. The Company shall, on the business day following the effective date of the Registration Statement, file a final
Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act. 

  
 4 








 The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.1(b) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2. 

(c) The Company shall from time to time and by the date that is 20 calendar days after receiving a request by any Initial
Holder or any of its Affiliates (and any such Person who is not a Holder may become a “Holder” hereunder by executing a Joinder Agreement) use its best efforts to prepare and file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be
converted into a Form S-3 promptly after Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling shareholders (not underwriters) of all of the Common Shares purchased prior to the deadline for making the Remaining
Investment in Section 5.20 of the Services and Investment Agreement and not previously registered pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) (a “Resale Registration”); provided, that (i) there shall not be more than one such
request during each of the Company’s fiscal quarterly periods and (ii) the Registrable Securities to be registered must include at least 1,000,000 Common Shares, or, in the aggregate, have an anticipated offering price of more than
$5,000,000, calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act on the business day preceding such request. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by the date that is
90 calendar days after receiving such request or sooner, if practicable, and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective through the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Registration are no longer
Registrable Securities. The Company shall, on the business day following the effective date of the Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act. 

The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1(c) shall be in addition to the registration
rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required under this Agreement to file, amend or request acceleration of a Registration Statement for any offering that pursuant to SEC Guidance would be deemed to constitute a primary offering of
securities by the Company. In the event that, as a result of the operation of the preceding sentence, the Company cannot include all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement, then the Company shall include in the Registration
Statement the maximum number of Registrable Securities that can be included therein without causing the Registration Statement to be deemed to register a primary offering by the Company, with the number of Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement allocated first pro rata among the Holders who are not Affiliates of the Company up to the maximum number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, and second pro rata among the Holders who are Affiliates
of the Company; provided, however, that Registrable Securities of non-Affiliates of the Company may be reduced non-pro rata or excluded from a Registration Statement if SEC Guidance identifies those Holders as participating in
an indirect primary offering of securities. With respect to any Registrable Securities that are not included in the Registration Statement, other than Registrable Securities held by any Affiliates of the Company (the “Excluded
Securities”), the Company shall include the Excluded Securities in a subsequently filed second Registration Statement (the “Additional Registration Statement”) that is filed on the earliest possible date on which Excluded
Securities can be included in the Additional Registration Statement without the Additional Registration Statement being deemed to register a primary offering of securities by the Company; provided that such Additional Registration Statement
shall be filed no later than six months from the date the initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Additional Filing Date”), and provided, further, if the Company is advised by the SEC that the
inclusion of all Excluded Securities in the Additional Registration Statement would cause the Additional Registration Statement to be deemed a registration of a primary offering by the Company, then such Additional Registration Statement shall
include only the maximum number of Excluded Securities that could be included in such Registration Statement without it being deemed to be a registration for a primary offering by the Company, and a further Additional Registration Statement shall be
filed as provided for in this Section 2.1(d) for the balance of the Excluded Securities, except that the Additional Filing Date shall be no later than six months from the date the SEC declares the immediately preceding Additional Registration
Statement effective.

	 	2.2.	Demand Registration. 

 (a) In addition to the rights provided in
Section 2.1, the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company register all or part of such Holders’ Registrable Securities that are not then registered by an effective Registration Statement (a
“Request”) (which Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holders and the intended method of disposition thereof) by filing a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be
converted into a Form S-3 promptly after Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling shareholders (not underwriters) of all or such portion of the Registrable Securities (a “Demand
Registration”); provided, however, that (A) if the Company is not eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall be obligated to register the Registrable Securities upon
such election only if the Registrable Securities to be registered, in the aggregate, constitute 10% or more of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities that are not registered under an effective Registration Statement, and (B) if the Company
is eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall be obligated to register the Registrable Securities upon such election; provided, that (i) there shall not be more than one such request
during each of the Company’s fiscal quarterly periods and (ii) the Registrable Securities to be registered must include at least 1,000,000 Common Shares, or, in the aggregate, have an anticipated offering price, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, of more than $5,000,000, calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act on the business day preceding such Request. 

(b) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 10 days after receipt of a Request, the Company shall give written notice of
such requested registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Holders of Pari Passu Securities. Subject to Section 2.2(c), the Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to
be disposed of by the Initiating Holders and (ii) the Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder or Pari Passu Holder which shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the
amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within 20 days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company. The Company shall,
as expeditiously as possible following a Request, use its best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities and the Pari Passu
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders and Pari Passu Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods
of disposition thereof specified in such Request or further requests if so requested. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such
Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b). 
 The registration
rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2. 

(c) Priority in Demand Registrations. If a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, and the sole or lead
managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that,
in its opinion, the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Majority Holders of the Registration (such writing
to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering), the Company shall include in such Demand Registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may
be included in such offering, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the Holders allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be
included in such Demand Registration by each of the Holders and Pari Passu Holders. In the event the Company shall not, by virtue of this Section 2.2(c), include in any Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder
requesting to be included in such Demand Registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within five days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to
have included in such Demand Registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders and Pari Passu Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the
amount of Registrable Securities or Pari Passu Securities to be included in such Demand Registration. 

  
 6 








 (d) Underwriting; Selection of Underwriters. If the Initiating Holders so
elect, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of a firm commitment Underwritten Offering; and such Initiating Holders may require that all Persons (including other Holders and Pari Passu
Holders) participating in such registration sell their Registrable Securities or Pari Passu Securities to the Underwriters at the same price and on the same terms of underwriting applicable to the Initiating Holders. If any Request involves an
Underwritten Offering, the sole or managing Underwriters and any additional investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with such registration shall be selected by the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
for which registration was requested in the Request, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). 

(e) Registration of Other Securities. Whenever the Company shall effect a Demand Registration, no securities other than
the Registrable Securities or Pari Passu Securities shall be covered by such registration unless the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities. 

 

	 	2.3.	Incidental Registration. 

 (a) Right to Include Registrable
Securities. Subject to the permissibility of registering additional Registrable Securities pursuant to SEC Guidance, if at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and if the Company
shall determine to register Common Shares under the Securities Act (other than in a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms and other than pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2) and files (i) a shelf
registration statement or (ii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement, or proposes to do a take down off of an effective shelf registration statement, whether or not pursuant to registration rights granted to other
holders of its securities and whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall deliver prompt written notice (which notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the filing of such registration statement or 5 days prior to the filing
of any preliminary prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b), or the prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) (if no preliminary prospectus supplement is used)) to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to undertake such
registration or offering, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration and distribution (including the anticipated range of the proposed offering price, the class and number of securities proposed to be registered and the distribution
arrangements) and of such Holders’ right to participate in such registration under this Section 2.3 as hereinafter provided. Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (a) and Section 2.3(b), upon the written request of
any Holder made within ten days in the case of a registration statement, or three days in the case of a prospectus supplement or preliminary prospectus supplement, after the receipt of such written notice (which request shall specify the amount
of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities requested by Holders to be so registered (an
“Incidental Registration”), to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable
Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register and shall cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective with respect to such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
registration procedures set forth in Section 4; provided, however, that other than in connection with an Incidental Registration involving an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement. If the Holders of any Registrable Securities that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement have requested to participate in an
Incidental Registration involving an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.3(a), the Company may in its option effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and the participation of such Holders in the Underwritten Offering
by any means allowable under the Securities Act, including the use of a prospectus pursuant to Rule 429. If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, immediately upon notification to the Company from the Underwriter of the price
at which such securities are to be sold, the Company shall so advise each participating Holder. The Holders requesting inclusion in an Incidental Registration may, at any time up to and including the time of pricing of the Incidental Registration
Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion. 

If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and up to and including the time of
pricing of the Incidental Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written
notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with
such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the 

  
 7 








 
rights of Holders to cause such registration to be effected as a registration under Section 2.3 and (B) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, the Company shall be
permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities; provided, however, that if such delay shall extend beyond 120 days from the date the Company
received a request to include Registrable Securities in such Incidental Registration, then the Company shall again give all Holders the opportunity to participate therein and shall follow the notification procedures set forth in the preceding
paragraph. There is no limitation on the number of such Incidental Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3 which the Company is obligated to effect. 

The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall be in addition to the registration
rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 hereof. 
 (b) Priority in Incidental Registration.
If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering (on a firm commitment basis), and the sole or the lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each
Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering without materially interfering with the successful marketing of the securities being offered (such writing to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of such securities which
may be included in such offering without such effect), the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may be included in such offering without such effect, (i) in the case of a
registration initiated by the Company, (A) first, the securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, (B) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any Pari
Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among such Holders and Pari Passu Holders requesting such registration, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and
Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, and (C), third, other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other Person, (ii) in the case of a registration initiated by a Pari Passu
Holder, (A) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among
such Holders and Pari Passu Holders requesting such registration, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, (B) second, the securities that the
Company proposes to register for its own account and (iii) in the case of a registration initiated by a Person other than the Company or a Pari Passu Holder, (A) first, the securities of such Persons, (B) second, the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among such Holders and Pari Passu Holders
requesting such registration, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, and (C) third, the securities that the Company proposes to register for
its own account, provided, however, that in the event the Company will not, by virtue of this Section 2.3(b), include in any such registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder requested to be included in such
registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within three days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such registration,
whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration. 
  

	 	2.4.	Expenses. 

 The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand
Registration, Incidental Registration or Resale Registration, whether or not such registration shall become effective. 
  

	 	2.5.	Underwritten Offerings. 

 (a) Underwritten Offerings. If requested
by the sole or lead managing Underwriter for any Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Resale Registration, the Company shall enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for such offering, such
agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Majority Holders of the Registration and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type,
including, without limitation, indemnification and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5.

 (b) Holders of Registrable Securities to be Parties to Underwriting
Agreement. The Holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2 shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such Underwriters and may, at
such Holders’ option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders
of Registrable Securities and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such Underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a selling Holder for inclusion in the Registration Statement. No Holder
shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such
Holder’s intended method of disposition. 
 (c) Participation in Underwritten Registration. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell its securities on the same terms and conditions provided in any underwritten arrangements approved by
the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangement and (ii) accurately completes and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  

	 	2.6.	Conversions; Exercises. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in order for
any Registrable Securities that are issuable upon the exercise of conversion rights, options or warrants, other than the Initial Holder Warrants, to be included in any registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the exercise of such conversion
rights, options or warrants must be effected no later than immediately prior to the closing of any sales under the Registration Statement pursuant to which such Registrable Securities are to be sold. 

 

	 	2.7.	Postponements. 

 The Company shall be entitled to postpone a Resale Registration and a
Demand Registration and to require the Holders of Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their securities covered by a shelf registration statement during any Blackout Period (as defined below) (i) if the board of directors of
the Company determines in good faith that effecting such a registration or continuing such disposition at such time would have a material adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all (or substantially all) of the assets of the Company or a merger,
reorganization, recapitalization or similar current transaction materially affecting the capital structure or equity ownership of the Company, or (ii) if the Company is in possession of material information which the board of directors of the
Company determines in good faith it is not in the best interests of the Company to disclose in a registration statement at such time; provided, however, that the Company may only delay a Resale Registration or Demand Registration
pursuant to this Section 2.7 by delivery of a Blackout Notice (as defined below) and may delay a Resale Registration or a Demand Registration and require the Holders of Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their securities
covered by a shelf registration statement only for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days (or such earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer proposed or the material information has been made public) (the
“Blackout Period”). The Blackout Period is in addition to any normal quarterly blackouts that may apply to directors and officers of the Company pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy, then in effect. There shall not
be more than one Blackout Period in any 12 month period. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing (a “Blackout Notice”) of any decision to postpone a Demand Registration or a Resale Registration or to
discontinue sales of Registrable Securities covered by a shelf registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.7 and shall include a general statement of the reason for such postponement, an approximation of the anticipated delay and an
undertaking by the Company promptly to notify the Holders as soon as a Demand Registration or a Resale Registration may be effected or sales of Registrable Securities covered by a shelf registration statement may resume. In making any such
determination to initiate or terminate a Blackout Period, the Company shall not be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Holder, and any such determination shall be the Company’s sole responsibility. Each Holder shall treat all
notices received from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.7 constituting material inside information in the strictest confidence and shall not trade on or disseminate such information. If the Company shall postpone the filing of a Demand
Registration Statement or a Resale Registration Statement, the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration. Any such withdrawal shall be made by giving written notice to the Company within 30
days after receipt of the Blackout Notice.

	3.	HOLDBACK ARRANGEMENTS. 

  

	 	3.1.	Restrictions on Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. 

 Each Holder of Registrable
Securities agrees, by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, if timely requested in writing by the sole or lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering of any Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Resale
Registration), not to make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or effect any public sale or distribution, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision having similar effect) under the Securities
Act of any Registrable Securities or any other equity security of the Company (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company) (except as part of such underwritten registration), during the
five business days (as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) prior to, and during the time period reasonably requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter not to exceed 90 days beginning on the effective date of
the applicable Registration Statement, unless the sole or lead managing Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering otherwise agrees; provided, however, that to the extent the Company or the sole lead managing Underwriter releases any
other Person from the foregoing or equivalent restrictions in whole or in part it shall, on the same day, notify the Holders of such release and such parties shall automatically be released to the same extent: provided, further, this holdback
restriction shall apply only to those Holders of Registrable Securities who have elected to sell Registrable Securities they hold in an Underwritten Offering in respect of which a holdback is requested by the managing Underwriter. 

 

	 	3.2.	Restrictions on Sale by the Company and Others. 

 The Company agrees that if timely
requested in writing by the sole or lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering of any Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Resale Registration), not to make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of
or effect any public or private sale or distribution of any of the Company’s equity securities (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of the Company’s equity securities) during the five business days (as
such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) prior to, and during the time period reasonably requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter not to exceed 90 days beginning on the effective date of the applicable
Registration Statement (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms), unless the sole or lead managing Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering otherwise
agrees. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each director and officer of the Company and each holder of 5% or more of the equity securities (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of its equity
securities) of the Company to so agree. 
  

	4.	REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. 

  

	 	4.1.	Obligations of the Company. 

 Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration
of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: 

(a) prepare and file with the SEC the requisite Registration Statement to effect such registration, which Registration
Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective (provided, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities that are not Registrable Securities, and, under the circumstances specified in Sections 2.3 or 2.7, its securities
that are Registrable Securities); provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or comparable statements under securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction,
the Company shall (i) provide Holders’ Counsel and any other Inspector with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein (and each amendment
or supplement thereto or comparable statement) to be filed with the SEC, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of Holders’ Counsel, and (ii) not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or
supplement thereto or comparable statement) with the SEC to which Holder’s Counsel, any selling Holder or any other Inspector shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such filing does not comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder; 

  
 10 








 (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 
 (c) furnish, without charge, to each selling Holder of such
Registrable Securities and each Underwriter, if any, of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), and the
Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and other documents, as such selling Holder and Underwriter may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder (the Company hereby consenting to the use in accordance with applicable law of each such Registration Statement (or amendment or
post-effective amendment thereto) and each such Prospectus (or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) by each such selling Holder of Registrable Securities and the Underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus); 
 (d) prior to any public offering of
Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any
selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, may reasonably request to enable such selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder and to continue such registration or qualification in effect in each such jurisdiction for as long as such Registration Statement remains in effect (including through new filings or amendments or
renewals), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable any such selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.1(d), (ii) subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

(e) use its best efforts to obtain all other approvals, consents, exemptions or authorizations from such governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the selling Holders of such Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(f) promptly notify Holders’ Counsel, each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any: (i) when the Registration Statement, any pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been
filed and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities or blue sky authority for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus related thereto or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or threat of any proceedings
for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation of
any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the existence of any fact of which the Company becomes aware or the happening of any event which results in (A) the Registration Statement containing an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statements therein not misleading, or (B) the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement containing an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) if at any time the representations and warranties
contemplated by Section 2.5(b) cease to be true and correct in all material respects, and (vii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate or that there
exists circumstances not yet disclosed to the public which make further sales under such Registration Statement inadvisable pending such disclosure and post-effective amendment; and, if the notification relates to an event described in any of the
clauses (ii) through (vii) of this Section 4.1(f), the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or
file any other required document so that (1) such Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and (2) as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities 

  
 11 








 
being sold thereunder, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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 (and shall furnish to each such Holder and each Underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of such Prospectus so supplemented or amended); and if the
notification relates to an event described in clause (iii) of this Section 4.1(f), the Company shall take all reasonable action required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; 

(g) make available for inspection by any selling Holder of Registrable Securities, any sole or lead managing Underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, Holders’ Counsel and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any Underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and, collectively, the
“Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and any subsidiaries thereof as may be in existence at such time (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be
necessary, in the opinion of such Holders’ and such Underwriters’ respective counsel, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility and to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act,
provided that such parties agree to keep such information confidential, and cause the Company’s and any subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Inspectors in connection with such Registration Statement; 
 (h) if requested by the
Majority Holders of the Registration in connection with an Underwritten Offering, obtain an opinion from the Company’s counsel and a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent public accountants who have certified the
Company’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, in each case dated the the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily
covered by such opinions and “cold comfort” letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinion and letter shall be reasonably satisfactory to the sole or lead managing Underwriter and to the Majority Holders
of the Registration, and furnish to each Holder participating in the offering and to each Underwriter a copy of such opinion and letter addressed to such Holder (in the case of the opinion) and Underwriter (in the case of the opinion and the
“cold comfort” letter); 
 (i) provide a CUSIP number for all Initial Holder Warrants and provide and cause to be
maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement not later than the effectiveness of such Registration Statement; 

(j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and any other
governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the offering, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than 90 days after the end of any 12-month period, an earnings statement
(i) commencing at the end of any month in which Registrable Securities are sold to Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering and (ii) commencing with the first day of the Company’s calendar month next succeeding each sale of
Registrable Securities after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month periods, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

(k) if so requested by the Majority Holders of the Registration, use its best efforts to cause all such Common Shares that
are Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which the Company’s Common Shares are then listed; 

(l) keep each selling Holder of Registrable Securities advised in writing as to the initiation and progress of any registration
under Section 2 hereunder;  
 (m) enter into and perform customary agreements (including, if applicable, an
underwriting agreement in customary form) and provide officers’ certificates and other customary closing documents; 

(n) cooperate with each selling Holder of Registrable Securities and each Underwriter participating in the disposition of
such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA and make reasonably available its employees and personnel and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the Underwriters (taking
into account the needs of the Company’s businesses and the requirements of the marketing process) in the marketing of Registrable Securities in any Underwritten Offering; 

  
 12 








 (o) if so requested, furnish to each Holder participating in the offering
and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein
by reference and all exhibits (including those deemed to be incorporated by reference); 
 (p) cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing the Registrable Securities to be sold,
and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting agreement prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the Underwriters or, if not an Underwritten Offering,
in accordance with the instructions of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities at least three business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities; 

(q) if requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter or any selling Holder of Registrable Securities, immediately
incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information concerning such Holder of Registrable Securities, the Underwriters or the intended method of distribution as the sole or lead managing Underwriter or the selling
Holder of Registrable Securities reasonably requests to be included therein and as is appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of shares of the Registrable
Securities being sold to the Underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such Underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; make all required
filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if
requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter of such Registrable Securities; and 
 (r) use its best efforts to
take all other steps necessary to expedite or facilitate the registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. 
  

	 	4.2.	Seller Information. 

 The Company may require each selling Holder of Registrable
Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder, such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of disposition as the Company may from time
to time reasonably request in writing; provided that such information shall be used only in connection with such registration. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in a Registration
Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has furnished such information to the Company. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information provided to the Company will be
used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement. 

If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under “blue sky” laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the Holder
of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such
securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial
requirements of the Company, and (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Company, as advised by counsel, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any state
“blue sky” or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder. 
  

	 	4.3.	Notice to Discontinue. 

 Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of
such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.1(f)(ii) through (vii), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such 

  
 13 








 
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at
the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give
any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred to in Section 4.1(b)) by the number of
days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 4.1(f) to and including the date when the Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by and
meeting the requirements of Section 4.1(f). 
  

	5.	INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION. 

  

	 	5.1.	Indemnification by the Company. 

 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees, Affiliates and agents (collectively, “Agents”) and each Person who controls such Holder
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) and its Agents with respect to each registration which has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings
(whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof, and expenses (as incurred or suffered and including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or proceeding, whether commenced or
threatened, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel) in respect thereof (collectively, “Claims”), insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to any such registration or any omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or
inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, or any qualification or compliance incident thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Claims
arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein, (ii) the failure of a Holder to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (iii) the failure of a
Holder otherwise to comply with this Agreement. The Company shall also indemnify any Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their Agents and each Person who controls any such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Person who may be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 and shall survive the transfer of securities by such Holder or Underwriter. 
  

	 	5.2.	Indemnification by Holders. 

 Each Holder, if Registrable Securities held by it are
included in the securities as to which a registration is being effected, agrees to, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, each other Person who
participates as an Underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and its Agents and each Person who controls the Company or any such Underwriter (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) and its Agents against any and all Claims, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any
preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to such registration, or 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, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was based upon (i) and made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein, (ii) the failure of a Holder to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or
(iii) the failure of a Holder otherwise to comply with this Agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate amount which any such Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall in no event be greater than
the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims less all amounts previously paid by such Holder with respect to any such Claims.
Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder or Underwriter. 

  
 14 









	 	5.3.	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. 

 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
of notice of any Claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Claim under this Section 5, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 5,
(i) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise
than under this Section 5, and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have
the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay
such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party within 10 days after receiving notice from such indemnified party
that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party
with respect to such claims (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to
assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such indemnified party) or (D) such indemnified party is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party and reasonably shall have concluded that there
may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no indemnifying party shall be permitted to consent to entry of any judgment with respect to,
or to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action
or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (3) does not provide for any action on the part of any party other than the payment of money damages which is to be paid in full by the indemnifying party.

  

	 	5.4.	Contribution. 

 If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or 5.2 from the
indemnifying party for any reason is unavailable to (other than by reason of exceptions provided therein), or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Claim, then the 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 Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand,
and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the foregoing allocation is not permitted by
applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, any legal or other fees,
costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to
this Section 5.4 to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims, less all amounts
previously paid by such indemnifying party with respect to such Claims. 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. 

  
 15 









	 	5.5.	Other Indemnification. 

 Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each selling Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or
regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or
contract.

acquires such Registrable Securities in a registered public offering or pursuant to a sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule)), its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if any

conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were a party hereto (and shall, for all purposes, be deemed a Holder under this Agreement). If the Company shall so request,
any heir, successor or assign (including any transferee) shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the terms hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “successor” for any entity other than a
natural person shall mean a successor to such entity as a result of such entity’s merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets, or similar transaction. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the Company may consent to
and permit, without any further action of the Initial Holders, any Person who subsequently acquires Common Shares and/or Initial Holder Warrants to become a “Holder” hereunder by executing a Joinder Agreement, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
  

	 	6.6.	Counterparts.

which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, .pdf or other electronic transmission of copies of signatures shall
constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement and any enforcement hereof.

	 	6.7.	Descriptive Headings, Etc. 

 The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of terms contained herein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (1) words of any gender shall be deemed to include each other gender; (2) words using
the singular or plural number shall also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (3) the words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section and paragraph references are to the Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (4) the word “including” and words
of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (5) “or” is not exclusive; and (6) provisions apply to successive events and transactions. 

 

	 	6.8.	Severability. 

 In the event that any one or more of the provisions, paragraphs, words,
clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph,
word, clause, phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the other remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof shall not be in any way impaired, it being intended that all rights, powers and privileges of the
parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
  

	 	6.9.	Governing Law.  

 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas
to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Texas will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the
substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. 
  

	 	6.10.	Remedies; Specific Performance.  

 The parties hereto acknowledge that money
damages would not be an adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in
equity, shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United
States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. Except as
otherwise provided by law, a delay or omission by a party hereto in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon any such breach shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy shall be
exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative. The failure to file a Resale Registration Statement within the time periods specified in Section 2.1 or a Demand Registration Statement within 120 days of a Request
under Section 2.2 shall and each shall constitute, in the absence of an injunction or a Blackout Period having been imposed or a withdrawn Request, a breach thereof entitling the Holders to remedies hereunder. 

 

	 	6.11.	Entire Agreement.  

 This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations,
warranties, covenants or undertakings relating to such subject matter, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Company and the other parties to this Agreement
with respect to such subject matter. 

  
 18 









	 	6.12.	Nominees for Beneficial Owners. 

 In the event that any Registrable Securities are held
by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any holder
or holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the
beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities. 

 

	 	6.13.	Consent to Jurisdiction. 

 (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself or himself and its or his property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas state court sitting in Dallas county or federal court of the United States of America sitting in Dallas county, and
any appellate court presiding thereover, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such Texas state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in any such federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it or he may legally and
effectively do so, any objection that it or he may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder in any State or
federal court sitting in Dallas county. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. The parties hereto
further agree that the notice of any process required by any such court in the manner set forth in Section 6.3 shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by
law.

 Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and
performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  

	 	6.15.	No Inconsistent Agreements. 

 The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement
which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. 
  

	 	6.16.	Construction.
