underwriter (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, 

  
 7 








 
claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of investigation and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, any amounts paid in settlement effected with the
Company’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and any costs incurred in enforcing the Company’s indemnification obligations hereunder) or other liabilities (collectively,
“Losses”) to which any such Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law, any state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or
otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) are resulting from or arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or any document incorporated by reference in any of the foregoing or resulting from or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading or (ii) any violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, any other federal law, any state or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or otherwise incident to any registration, qualification or compliance, and in any such case, the Company will
promptly reimburse each such Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other Losses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, action or investigation or proceeding
(collectively, a “Claim”); provided, however, that the liability of the Company under this Section 1.5(a) will be limited to an amount equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Note plus all
accrued unpaid interest earned thereon at the time the Claim was made and the exercise price of the Warrant and that the Company will not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Party for any Losses that arise out of or are based upon (x) written
information provided by a Holder Indemnified Party expressly for use in the Registration Statement or (y) sales of Registrable Securities by a Holder Indemnified Party to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or before the written
confirmation of such sale, a copy of the prospectus (excluding documents incorporated by reference) or the prospectus as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by reference) if the Company has previously furnished in a timely
manner a reasonable number of copies thereof to such Holder Indemnified Party in compliance with this Agreement and the Losses of such Holder Indemnified Party results from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such
preliminary prospectus which was corrected in the prospectus (or the prospectus as then amended or supplemented). Such indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified
Parties and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder Indemnified Parties. 
 (b)
Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any proposed registration in which a Holder is participating pursuant to this Agreement, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect


  
 8 








 
to such Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law for use in connection with any Registration Statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus to be used in
connection with such registration and each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter retained by the Company and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisors and agents,
their respective Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any of such Persons to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Holders as set forth in
Section 1.5(a) (subject to the exceptions set forth in the foregoing indemnity, the proviso to this sentence and applicable law), but only with respect to any such information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein
and not with respect to any other Holder or the Company; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 1.5(b) will be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the
offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity obligation will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Parties (except as provided above) and will survive the transfer of
Registrable Securities by such Holder. 
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled
to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) will give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the
Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this
Agreement; provided, however, that, the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless and to the extent such Indemnifying
Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with
any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel The Indemnifying
Party will not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party will be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party will, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, 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 (A) includes an unconditional release of
the Indemnified Party from all liability 

  
 9 








 
arising out of such action or claim and (B) 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. The
rights afforded to any Indemnified Party hereunder will be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise. 

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.5 from the Indemnifying Party
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of the
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will 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, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 1.5(d) will be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the offering giving rise to such liability and
the liability of the Company will be limited to an amount as stated in Section 1.5(a). The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above will be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 1.5(a), 1.5(b) and 1.5(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the foregoing.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 1.5(d). 

Section 1.6 Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of
Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it will
(a) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and (b) take such further action as each
Holder may reasonably request (including, but not limited to, providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act), at all times from
and after the date hereof all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 and Rule
144A (if available with respect to 

  
 10 









 
resales of the Registrable Securities) under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or (ii) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by
the SEC. 
 Section 1.7 Certain Limitations On Registration Rights. No Holder may participate in any
Registration Statement hereunder unless such Holder completes and executes all questionnaires and other documents reasonably required and will sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement
approved by the Holder or Holders entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements. Such Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold by such underwriters may, at their 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, will also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the underwriters under the
underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Holders.
