which the Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability or similar actions, as applicable, on the part of
such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and the other instruments referred to herein to which it is a party will be duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and each such agreement and other
instruments constitutes or will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

authorized to act on behalf of the Purchaser who might be entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be liable in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

4.3. Investment Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Shares has not
been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and is being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.

 4.4. Investor Questionnaire. In connection with the filing of a Registration Statement,
the Company may require the Purchaser to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser and the Registrable Securities, as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall reasonably be required in connection with the
filing of the Registration Statement. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Purchaser of any information the Company requests from the Purchaser.

 4.5. Acquisition for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view
toward distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. 
 4.6. Ability to
Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. The Purchaser, by reason of the business and financial experience of its management, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this

reviewed the SEC Reports, which serve to qualify certain of the Company representations set forth below. 
 4.9. Restricted Shares.

 (a) The Purchaser understands that the Shares will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Shares may be resold without registration
under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. 
 (b) The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares must be

the Shares, except as provided in this Agreement.

 4.10. Tax Advisors. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to review with the
Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment, where applicable, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on the Purchaser’s own determination as
to tax consequences or the advice of such tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that the Purchaser (and not the Company or the Placement Agents) shall be responsible for the
Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

4.11. Short Sales. Between the time the Purchaser learned about the offering contemplated by this Agreement and the public announcement
of the offering, the Purchaser has not engaged in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, nor has the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, caused any Person to engage in any short sales or similar transactions with
respect to the Common Stock. The Purchaser shall not engage in any short sales involving the Common Shares in violation of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such
Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio managers that have knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement. 

4.12. No General Solicitation and Advertising. The Purchaser represents and acknowledges that is has not been solicited to offer to
purchase or to purchase any Shares by means of any general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

4.13. Rule 506(d) Representation. The Purchaser represents that it is not a person of the type described in Section 506(d) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act that would disqualify the Company from engaging in a transaction pursuant to Section 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

4.14. Non-Reliance. The Purchaser (a) has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of any PlacementAgent
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) acknowledges that no Placement Agent has made any representations and warranties with respect to the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) will not rely on any
statements made by Placement Agent, orally or in writing, to the contrary. The Purchaser further represents acknowledges that no Placement Agent will be responsible for the ultimate success of its investment in the Company. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Purchaser releases each Placement Agent and its employees, officers and affiliates from any liability with respect to the Purchaser’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser hereby represents
and acknowledges that nothing herein or in the Transaction Documents creates any fiduciary or agency relationship between the Purchaser and any Placement Agent, and the Purchaser hereby disclaims any such relationship and all claims, if any, based
thereon.

such internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Company presented in its most recently filed annual report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting based on their evaluations as of the end of the period covered by such report. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as

respective officers or directors before any Governmental Entity. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or
state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company or any Subsidiary. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company and each Subsidiary, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the

violation of any term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant with the Company or any Subsidiary, and,
to the knowledge of the Company and each Subsidiary, the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any Subsidiary to any material liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

 8. Transfer Restrictions; Restrictive Legend. 

8.1. Transfer Restrictions. The Purchasers understand that the Company may, as a condition to the transfer of any of the Shares,
require that the request for transfer be accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer does not result in a violation of the Securities Act, unless such transfer is covered by
an effective registration statement or by Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act; provided, however, that an opinion of counsel shall not be required for a transfer by a Purchaser that is (A) a partnership transferring to
its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation transferring to a wholly owned subsidiary or a parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of such Purchaser, (C) a limited liability
company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, (D) an individual transferring to such Purchaser’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Purchaser,
(E) a Purchaser transferring its Shares to any Affiliate of such Purchaser, in the case of an institutional investor, or other Person under common management with such Purchaser, or (F) a transfer that is made pursuant to a bona fide gift
to a third party; provided, further, that (i) if effected before the effective date of the Registration Statement or at a time when the Shares transferred are eligible for resale pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities
Act (including by virtue of the safe harbor provisions of Rule 144) or when the Shares do not bear the legend set forth below, the transferee in each case agrees to be subject to the restrictions in this Section 8 and provides the Company with
a representation letter containing substantially the same representations and warranties in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 hereof, (ii) the Company in good faith satisfies itself that the transfer is exempt from, or not
subject to, the registration and prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act and (iii) in the case of transferees that are partners or limited liability company members, the transfer is for no consideration. It is understood that the
certificates evidencing the Shares may bear substantially the following legend, except as provided in Section 8.2: 

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY
MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A OF SUCH ACT.” 
 8.2. Unlegended
Certificates. The Company shall, at its sole expense, upon appropriate notice from any Purchaser stating that Registerable Securities have been sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, timely prepare and deliver certificates
representing the Shares to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as such Purchaser may request.
Further, the Company shall, at its sole 

  
 -25- 








 
expense, cause its legal counsel or other counsel satisfactory to the transfer agent (i) while the Registration Statement is effective, to issue to the transfer agent a “blanket”
legal opinion to allow sales without restriction pursuant to the effective Registration Statement and (ii) provide all other opinions as may reasonably be required by the transfer agent in connection with the removal of legends. A Purchaser may
request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of, any legend from such Shares, following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such
Shares (i) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (iii) following the time a legend is no longer required with respect to such Shares. If a legend is
no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Shares
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive legends. Certificates for Shares free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to
the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) as directed by such Purchaser. The Company warrants that the Shares shall be freely transferable on the
books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Purchaser effects a transfer of the Shares in accordance with Section 8.1, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer
agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser to effect such transfer. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that the removal of the
restrictive legend pursuant to this Section 8.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell any such Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom. 
 At any time when the Company is required to cause an unlegended certificate
to replace a previously issued legended certificate, if: (1) the unlegended certificate is not delivered to a Purchaser within three (3) Business Days of submission by that Purchaser of a legended certificate and supporting documentation
to the transfer agent as provided above and (2) prior to the time such unlegended certificate is received by the Purchaser, the Purchaser, or any third party on behalf of such Purchaser or for the Purchaser’s account, purchases (in an open
market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of shares represented by such certificate (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Purchaser (for
costs incurred either directly by such Purchaser or on behalf of a third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceeds the proceeds received by
such Purchaser as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In. 

  
 -26- 








 9. Registration, Transfer and Substitution of Certificates for Shares. 

9.1. Stock Register; Ownership of Shares. The Company will keep at its principal office, or cause its transfer agent to keep, a
register in which the Company will provide for the registration of transfers of the Shares. The Company may treat the Person in whose name any of the Shares are registered on such register as the owner thereof and the Company shall not be affected
by any notice to the contrary. All references in this Agreement to a “holder” of any Shares shall mean the Person in whose name such Shares are at the time registered on such register. 

9.2. Replacement of Certificates. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any certificate representing any of the Shares, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement and surety bond reasonably satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender of such certificate for cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new certificate representing such
Share, of like tenor. 
 10. Registration Rights of Purchasers. 

10.1. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 30 days after the
Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), file with the Commission a Registration Statement under the Act on an appropriate form covering the resale of the full amount of the Common Shares and the Underlying Shares (including any
securities into or for which the foregoing securities have been converted or exchanged, and any security issued with respect thereto upon any stock dividend, split or similar event, the “Registrable Securities”). The Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), which
shall be either (i) in the event that the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) does not review the Registration Statement, 90 days after the Closing Date, or (ii) in the event that the Commission reviews the
Registration Statement, 120 days after the Closing Date (but in any event, no later than three Business Days from the date the Staff indicates that it has no further comments on the Registration Statement). 

Subject to any comments from the Staff, such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit
A; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. Such Registration Statement also shall cover pursuant to Rule
416 such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock due to changes in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares resulting from changes in the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of the
Certificate of Designation. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. 

10.2. Rule 415; Cutback If at any time the Staff takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a
Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities 

  
 -27- 








 
Act or requires any Purchaser to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its best efforts to persuade the Staff that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement
is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Purchasers is an “underwriter”. The Major Purchasers shall have the right to participate or have their
counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the Staff regarding the Staff’s position and to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the Staff respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made
to the Staff to which a Major Purchaser’s counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 10.2, the Staff refuses to alter its position, the Company shall
(i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable
Securities as the Staff may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name
any Purchaser as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Any cut-back imposed on the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be allocated among the Purchasers on a
pro rata basis (after giving effect to the conversion in full of the Preferred Shares notwithstanding any limitation on conversion contained in the Certificate of Designation), unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the
Purchasers otherwise agree. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the
“Restriction Termination Date” of such Cut Back Shares). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Purchaser shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of its sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities
under the Registration Statement such that the Company will be able to file one or more additional registration statements covering the Cut Back Shares. From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the
provisions of this Section 10 (including the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut
Back Shares shall be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the Effectiveness Deadline with respect to such Cut Back Shares shall be the 90th day
immediately after the Restriction Termination Date or the 120th day if the Staff reviews such Registration Statement (but in any event no later than three Business Days from the date the Staff
indicates it has no further comments on such Registration Statement). 
 10.3. Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain
Effectiveness of Registration Statement. Subject to Section 10.2, if (a) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement is (i) not filed with the Commission on or before the Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (ii) not effective under the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (an
“Effectiveness Failure”) or (b) on any day during the Registration Period and after the Effective Date, sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included in such Registration Statement cannot be made
(other than (i) during an Allowable Grace Period or (ii) if the Registration Statement is on Form S-1, for a period of 15 days following the date the Company files a post-effective amendment to incorporate the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K) pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such 

  
 -28- 








 
information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock) (a “Maintenance
Failure”) then, in satisfaction of the damages to any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay to each holder of
Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of such holder’s Pro Rata Interest in the Total Purchase Price on each of the following dates (subject to the provisos to the
immediately following sentence): (i) the day of a Filing Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than 30 days) thereafter until such Filing Failure is cured; (ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure and on
every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than 30 days) thereafter until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than
30 days) thereafter until such Maintenance Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 10.3 are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments;” provided that no
Registration Delay Payments shall be required following the termination of the Registration Period, and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate Registration Delay Payments accruing under this Section 10.3 exceed ten percent
(10%) of a holder’s Pro Rata Interest in the Total Purchase Price. The first such Registration Delay Payment shall be paid within three Business Days after the event or failure giving rise to such Registration Delay Payment occurred and
all other Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to
the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (pro rated for
partial months) until paid in full. 
 10.4. Related Obligations. At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration
Statement with the Commission pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and,
pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations: 
 (a) The Company shall submit to the Commission,
within two Business Days after the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for
acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times
with respect to each Purchaser’s Registrable Securities until the earlier of (i) the date as of which such Purchaser may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under Rule 144 without volume or manner
of sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the date on which
the such Purchaser shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall 

  
 -29- 








 
ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) 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 (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. 

(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is, to the extent required, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary
to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered
by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.

 (c) Upon request of a Purchaser, the Company shall furnish to such Purchaser without charge, (i) promptly after the
Registration Statement including such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities is prepared and filed with the Commission, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Purchaser, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, 10 copies of the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Purchaser may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Purchaser may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities. 
 (d) The
Company shall notify the Purchasers in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omission 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 (provided that in no
event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and upon request deliver 10 copies of such supplement
or amendment to the Purchasers (or such other number of copies as the Purchasers may reasonably request). Unless such information is publicly available, the Company shall also promptly notify the Purchasers in writing (i) when a prospectus or
any prospectus 

  
 -30- 








 
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be
delivered to the Purchasers by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and
(iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. 

(e) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension
at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Purchaser who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 (f) If a Purchaser is required under applicable securities law to be described in the Registration Statement as an
underwriter, at the reasonable request of the Purchaser, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Purchaser may reasonably
request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the Purchaser, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public
offering, addressed to the Purchaser. 
 (g) If a Purchaser is required under applicable securities law to be described in
the Registration Statement as an underwriter, upon the written request of the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s due diligence requirements, if any, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Purchaser and its
legal counsel and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Purchaser (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector solely for the purpose of establishing a due diligence defense under
underwriter liability under the Securities Act, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to
hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to the Purchaser) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified,
unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or related prospectus or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the


  
 -31- 








 
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has
been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental
body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed
confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Purchaser) shall be deemed to limit the Purchaser’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with
applicable laws and regulations. 
 (h) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning the Purchasers provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning any Purchaser
is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Purchaser and allow such Purchaser, at such Purchaser’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information. 
 (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Purchasers
and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such
certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Purchasers may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Purchasers may request. 

(j) If requested by a Purchaser, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the Purchaser reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of
Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as practicable make all required filings of such
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any
Registration Statement if reasonably requested by the Purchaser. 

  
 -32- 








 (k) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

(l) The Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission in connection with any registration hereunder. 
 (m) Within two Business Days after a Registration Statement
that covers Registrable Securities becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Purchasers) confirmation that such Registration Statement has become
effective under the Securities Act. 
 (n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective
Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors and its counsel, in the best interest of the
Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Purchasers in writing of the existence of material, non-public
information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Purchasers) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the
Purchasers in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that the Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 30 Trading Days during any 365-day period and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least
15 days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Purchasers
receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Purchasers receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 10.4(e)
hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 10.4(d) with respect to the information giving rise thereto
unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of any Purchaser in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration
Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery requirement exists), prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled. 

  
 -33- 








 (o) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify
any Purchaser as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission or any applicable Trading Market without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, and any Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the Commission shall not
relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement. 
 10.5. Obligations of the Purchasers. 

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company
shall notify each Purchaser in writing of any information the Company requires from such Purchaser in order to have that Purchaser’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Purchaser that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such
documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. 
 (b) Each Purchaser, by its

Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in
settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on (A) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document
(including, without limitation, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) authorized by the Company for use in connection with such Registration Statement), or any amendment or supplement thereto,
incident to any such Registration Statement, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading, or (B) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration,
and in each case, the Company will reimburse each such Purchaser, each of its officers and directors, partners, members and each person controlling such Purchaser, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are
incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or
expense arises out of or is based on (X) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such
Purchaser or controlling person, and stated to be specifically for use therein, (Y) the use by a Purchaser of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the prospectus is outdated or

the Securities Act (or any successor rule)) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. 

(b) Purchaser Indemnification. Each Purchaser holding Registrable Securities will, if Registrable Securities held by
such Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, other holders of the Company’s securities covered by such
Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each such holder, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling
such holder within the meaning of Section 

  
 -36- 








 
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (A) any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, 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, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Purchaser and stated to be specifically for use therein, or (B) any
violation by such Purchaser, in connection with the disposition of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to such
Purchaser, and in each case, such Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each other holder, and directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons of the Company and the other holders for any legal or any other expenses reasonably
incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 10.9(b) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such indemnifying Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The liability of any Purchaser
for indemnification under this Section 10.9(b) in its capacity as a seller of Registrable Securities shall not exceed the amount of net proceeds to such Purchaser of the securities sold in any such registration. 

(c) Notice and Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.9 (the
“Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to
which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such
claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend
such action and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of
any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement
(x) includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff 

  
 -37- 








 
to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation; and (y) does not include any admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of such Indemnified Party. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.9
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party
thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law 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 Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Purchaser hereunder exceed the amount of net proceeds to such Purchaser of the securities sold in any such registration, less the amount of any
damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.9 was available to such party in accordance with its terms. 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 Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10.9(d) are several and not joint. 

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers under this Section 10.9 shall survive completion
of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10.9 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties
may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of other remedies or causes of action that the parties may have under this Agreement.

stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market
or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined

 The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or
all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under a
supplement to this prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 or pursuant to another applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for
purposes of this prospectus. 
 In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter
into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our
common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares
such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction) or deliver to close any short positions therein. 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common
stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly
or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. 
 The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion
of the shares in open market or other transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule. 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein
may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and
public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer, will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may
be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or
qualification requirements is available and is complied with. 
 We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules
of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be
supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. 
 We
have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus. 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until
the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold
without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers (as provided in Section 8(a)) such Notice
of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed
delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. No ink-

  
 B-5 








 
original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. To effect conversions
of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which
case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof or repurchased by
the Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be reissued. 
 b) Conversion Price. The conversion price for the
Preferred Stock shall initially equal $5.86, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Conversion Price”). 

c) Mechanics of Conversion 

i. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the
“Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a certificate or certificates representing the applicable Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the
one-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of
Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. Subject to clauses (ii) and (iv)(B) below, on the Conversion Date with respect to any Conversion Shares, the Person to which such Conversion Shares are to be issued
shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that, subject to clauses (ii) and (iv)(B) below, if such Conversion Date occurs after a record date for the payment of dividends on the
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(a) and prior to the related dividend payment date, then such Person shall be deemed to have been the holder of record of such Conversion Shares on such record date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, will be
entitled to receive such dividends in respect of such Conversion Shares on such dividend payment date). On or after the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Corporation shall
use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar
functions. 
 ii. Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or
certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or
certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation. 

  
 B-6 








 iii. Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and
deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any
obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection
with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect
to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law or agreement
or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety
bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the
proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall
limit a Holder’s right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder
from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. 
 iv. Compensation for
Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates by the Share
Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if on or after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise
purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the
Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (or, in the case of a purchase by such
brokerage firm, the cost charged by such brokerage firm to such Holder with respect thereto) (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased 

  
 B-7 








 
exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue and which was the subject of such
sale multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the
shares of Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the
Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. 

v. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons
other than the Holder (and the other Holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments
and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Resale Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Resale Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance
with its related obligations under the Purchase Agreement). 
 vi. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its
election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date or round up to the next whole share. 

  
 B-8 








 vii. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares
of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the
Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such Preferred Stock and the
Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of
the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion. 

d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect
any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, in each case to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder would beneficially own in excess of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership of a Holder shall be calculated in accordance with Section 16(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder for purposes of determining whether such Holder is subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of the complying with this Section 6(d), the
Corporation shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information set forth in any Holder’s Notice of Conversion, and each Holder delivering a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to represent to the Corporation that such Notice of
Conversion does not violate the restrictions set forth in this paragraph, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such representation. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall,
within two Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. By written notice to the Company, a Purchaser may from time to time increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable solely to such Purchaser to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-fifth (65th) day after such
notice is delivered to the Company. The express purpose of this Section 6(d) is to preclude any Holder’s ownership of any shares of Preferred Stock from causing such Holder to become subject to the reporting and liability provisions
of Section 16(a) and 16(b) of the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Rule 16a-2 promulgated by the Commission, and this Section 6(d) shall be interpreted according to such express purpose. Solely for purposes of this Section 6(d) and
for purposes of the provisos to Section 7(b) and (c) hereof, the term “Holder” shall include all persons whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock is aggregated pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule
13d-5 thereunder. 

  
 B-9 








 Section 7. Certain Adjustments; Rights of Holders Upon Certain Dividends,
Distributions or Fundamental Transactions. 
 a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any
time while any Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal an amount equal to such
Conversion Price immediately before such adjustment multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before giving effect to such event, and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination, as applicable. 

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the
Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”),
then, without duplication of any dividends to be due on Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(a), each Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could
have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation) on the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue
or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, however, that, to the extent that any Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Purchase
Rights to which such Holder is entitled pursuant hereto shall be limited to the same extent provided in Section 6(d) hereof. 

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes
any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash,


  
 B-10 








 
stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a
“Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of the Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, without duplication of any dividends to be due on Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3(a), each Holder shall be entitled to
participate in such Distribution to the same extent that such Holder would have participated therein if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of the Preferred Stock (without regard to any
limitations on Conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) on the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of
Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution; provided, however, that, to the extent that any Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the rights appurtenant to such securities, property or options to which such Holder is entitled pursuant hereto shall be limited to the same extent provided in Section 6(d) hereof. 

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation,
directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions is a party to any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed,
(iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, in each case pursuant to which the Common
Stock is converted into, exchanged for or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or property, or any combination thereof (such other securities, cash or property, or combination thereof, the “Reference
Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such transaction, a “Reference Property Unit”) (each such transaction, a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (I) at the effective time of such Fundamental Transaction, the Conversion Shares due upon conversion of any Preferred Stock shall be determined
in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Certificate of Designation were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units and (II) if such Reference Property Unit consists of any
security of a Person other than the Corporation, then such Person (and, as a condition to the Corporation effecting such Fundamental Transaction, the Corporation shall ensure that such Person) shall execute such instruments as shall be necessary to
give effect to this Section 7(d). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in such Fundamental Transaction, then each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Reference
Property Unit it receives upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental
Transaction shall file a new Certificate of 

  
 B-11 








 
Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such
preferred stock into Reference Property Units. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the
obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Holders and approved by the Holders (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holders, deliver to the Holder in exchange for the Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by
a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Preferred Stock which is convertible in accordance with this Section 7(d), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders. Upon the occurrence of
any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and, except in the case of a lease, be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and
the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this
Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein. 

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of
a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of
the Corporation) issued and outstanding. 
 f) Notice to the Holders. 

i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this
Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. 

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the
Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or 

  
 B-12 








 
property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation
shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of the Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least
twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, provided that
the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or
contains, material non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding such notice or corporate event, each Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of its Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) as provided herein. 

Section 8. Miscellaneous. 

a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder,

certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or
