corporate or other action to execute and deliver this Agreement, to purchase the Shares and to carry out and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the

Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has had access to and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the
Shares. The Purchaser has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review
the Company’s filings with the Commission and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the

otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgements and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the
Shares may not be resold or otherwise transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. 

(g)    The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser
in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors and made such investigations as the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, has deemed
necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Shares.

(iii)    The Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Shares pursuant to this
Agreement. The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

 (iv)    The Purchaser will hold in confidence all information
concerning this Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Shares until the Company has made a public announcement concerning this Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Shares, which shall be made not later than 9:00 am New York time on the

 (v)    The Purchaser understands that no

form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against Transfer of the certificates for the Shares): 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY
THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.” 

(ii)    The Company shall, at its sole expense, upon appropriate notice from the Purchaser stating that
Registrable Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, timely prepare and deliver certificates or book-entry shares representing the Shares to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which
certificates or book-entry shares shall be free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Purchaser may request. Further, the Company shall, at its sole 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. The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of, the legend
from such Shares, following the delivery by the 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 that the Registration Statement is declared effective. If a legend removal request is made pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days
following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Shares (or a request for legend removal, in the case of Shares issued in book-entry form), deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive legends or an 

  
 9 












 
equivalent book-entry position, as requested by the Purchaser. Certificates for Shares free from all restrictive legends may be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Purchaser
by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) as directed by the Purchaser. The Company warrants that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books
and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If the Purchaser effects a Transfer of the Shares in accordance with this Section 3.2(i)(ii), 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 the Purchaser to effect such transfer. The Purchaser hereby
agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend pursuant to this Section 3.2(i)(ii) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the 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. 

(j)    Immediately prior to the Closing, the Purchaser, together with its affiliates and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Purchaser and any of its affiliates, beneficially owned the number of shares of Common Stock (before giving effect to Common Stock beneficially owned as a result of Note Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof between
the Parties hereto) set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page attached hereto (as such ownership is calculated pursuant to the rules of the NYSE). 

(k)    If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the
Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (a) the legal requirements
within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase or acquisition, (c) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and
other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any
applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

applicable, the maximum number of such excluded Registrable Shares that the Company is permitted to register for resale on such Additional Registration Statement consistent with Commission guidance), if any, from being registered on the Mandatory
Registration Statement; 
 (d)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Additional
Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable following the Additional Filing Date, such efforts to include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, preparing and filing with the Commission any financial
statements or other information that is required to be filed prior to the effectiveness of any such Additional Registration Statement; 

(e)    prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Resale Registration Statements
and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be 

  
 11 












 
necessary to keep such Resale Registration Statements continuously effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact therein until termination of such
obligation as provided in Section 4.6 below, subject to the Company’s right to suspend pursuant to Section 4.5; 

(f)    furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Purchaser; 

(g)    file such documents as may be required of the Company for normal securities law clearance for the resale of
the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser and use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period the Company is required to maintain
effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statements; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this Section 4.2(g) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent
to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented; 

(h)    upon notification by the Commission that the Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not
subject to further review by the Commission, the Company shall within three Trading Days following the date of such notification request acceleration of such Resale Registration Statement (with the requested effectiveness date to be not more than
two Trading Days later); 
 (i)    upon notification by the Commission that that the Resale Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act (“Rule 424”) within the applicable time period prescribed by Rule 424; 

(j)    advise the Purchaser promptly: 

(i)    of the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto; 

(ii)    of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Resale Registration Statement or amendments to the
prospectus or for additional information relating thereto; 
 (iii)    of the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or
the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and 
 (iv)    of the existence of any fact
and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Resale Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the
making of any additions to or changes in the Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading; 

  
 12 












 (k)    cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each
securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities by the Company are then listed; and 
 (l)    bear all
expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (l) of this Section 4.2 and the registration of the Registrable Shares on such Resale Registration Statement and the satisfaction of the blue sky
laws of such states. 
 4.3    Rule 415; Cutback. 

If at any time the staff of the Commission (“Staff”) takes the position that the offering of some or all of the
Registrable Shares 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 Act or requires the Purchaser to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company
shall (in consultation with legal counsel to the lead Purchaser) use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission 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 Purchaser is an “underwriter.” In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this
Section 4.3, the Staff refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Shares (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or
(ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Shares 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 the Purchaser as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. 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). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 4 shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that
(x) the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be 10 Trading Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (y) 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 Trading Days from the Staff indicating it has no further comments on such Registration Statement). 

4.4    Indemnification. 

(a)    The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its affiliates, partners, members,
officers, directors, agents and representatives, and each Person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 the Exchange Act (each, a “Purchaser Party”
and collectively the “Purchaser Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which they may
become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any material breach of this Agreement by the Company or any untrue statement or


  
 13 












 
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Resale Registration Statement and the Company
will, as incurred, reimburse the Purchaser Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon: (i) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Resale Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Resale Registration Statement; or (ii) any breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser; provided further, however,
that the Company shall not be liable to any Purchaser Party (or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling Person of the Purchaser) to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i) (A) the Purchaser failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus with or prior to, or the Purchaser failed to confirm that a final prospectus was deemed to be delivered
prior to (in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act), the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Purchaser to the Person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue
statement or omission, (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so
amended or supplemented or notified by the Company that such amended or supplemented prospectus has been filed with the Commission, in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act, the Purchaser thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so
amended or supplemented, with or prior to or the Purchaser fails to confirm that the prospectus as so amended or supplemented was deemed to be delivered prior to (in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act), the delivery of written
confirmation of the sale by the Purchaser to the Person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted or (iii) the Purchaser sold Registrable Shares in violation of the Purchaser’s covenants contained in
Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 
 (b)    The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents and representatives and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a
“Company Party” and collectively the “Company Parties”), from and against any Losses to which the Company Parties may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise),
insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any material breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser or untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale
Registration Statement (or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each
case, on the effective date thereof), if, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the
Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Resale Registration Statement, and the Purchaser will reimburse each Company Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such
action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any 

  
 14 












 
indemnity under this Section 4.4(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon its sale of the Registrable Shares
included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 (c)    Promptly after
receipt by any indemnified Person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying Person pursuant to this Section 4.4, such indemnified Person
shall notify the indemnifying Person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified Person and such indemnifying
Person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Person. After
notice from the indemnifying Person to such indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such indemnified Person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified Person for the same counsel to
represent both the indemnified Person and such indemnifying Person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying Person; provided further, that no
indemnifying Person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. 
 (d)    If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against
the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its
reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the
indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such
difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party. 

(e)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.4 is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages 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, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of
the proceeds received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of such Registrable Shares. 

  
 15 












 4.5    Prospectus Suspension. The Purchaser acknowledges
that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Resale Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared
effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Purchaser hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus
during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales
pursuant to said prospectus; provided, that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed 30 days in any 12-month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, the
Company would, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations,
discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company or its stockholders. 

4.6    Termination of Obligations. The obligations of the Company pursuant to
Section 4.2 hereof shall cease and terminate, with respect to any Registrable Shares, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time such Registrable Shares have been resold, or (b) such time as such Registrable
Shares no longer remain Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(b) hereof. 

4.7    Reporting Requirements. 

(a)    With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at
any time permit the sale of the Shares to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company agrees to: 

(i)    make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; 

(ii)    file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and 
 (iii)    so long as the Purchaser owns Registrable Shares,
furnish to the Purchaser upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it is in compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or whether it is qualified as a registrant
whose securities may be resold pursuant to Commission Form S-3, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and
(C) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Purchaser to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144. 

4.8    Blue Sky. The Company shall obtain and maintain all necessary blue sky law permits and
qualifications, or secured exemptions therefrom, required by any state for the offer and sale of Registrable Shares. 

4.9    Market Stand-Off. For a period of one year following the
Closing Date, in the event that the Company conducts one or more registered public offerings of its securities in which 

  
 16 












 
Purchaser acquires securities offered thereby, the Purchaser hereby agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement with such underwriters for a lock-up period not to exceed ninety (90) days following the pricing of any such offering. 
  

	5.	 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 



5.1    Securities Laws Disclosure. The Company shall, by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fourth
Trading Day following the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Form
8-K”). From and after the filing of the Form 8-K, the Purchaser shall not be in possession of any material,
non-public information received from the Company or any of their respective officers, directors or employees that is not disclosed in the Form 8-K, other than certain of
the Non-Public Information (as defined in Section 5.4). 

5.2    Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material
terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Non-Public Information”), the Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any

5.3    Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall
continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Shares.

parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Antitrust Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including (i) the obtaining of
all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, decisions, declarations, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods, from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the

Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party shall furnish to the other Party or its outside counsel such necessary information and assistance as the other Party
may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any necessary filings or submissions by it to any Governmental Entity. 

  
 17 












 (c)    Each party hereto shall consult and cooperate with one
another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party in connection with any
inquiry by any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.4, each Party hereto shall give the other Parties prompt notice of
any pending or threatened request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity, or brought by a third party before any Governmental Entity, in each case with respect to the transactions contemplated under this
Agreement under any Antitrust Laws (an “Antitrust Investigation”). In connection with any such Antitrust Investigation, and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information and appropriate agreements to
limit disclosure to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel and preserve the attorney-client or other legal privileges, each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) keep the other parties informed as
to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding, (ii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Entity in connection with any such request,
inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding (and if in writing, furnish the other party with a copy of such communication), (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, consult in advance and cooperate with the other parties and consider
in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Entity, and (iv) except as may be prohibited by

advance in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Entity. 

(d)    The Parties shall defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any person,
including any Governmental Entity, under Antitrust Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that could restrain or prevent the Closing. 

(e)    The Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of the filing fees associated with any such applications
or filings under the HSR Act. 
  

	6.	 MISCELLANEOUS 



6.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser, as to the Purchaser’s
obligations hereunder only, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated within 60 calendar days from the Effective Date through no fault of the Purchaser; provided, however, that no such termination will
affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties). 
 6.2    Fees and
Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party
incident to the negotiation, 

  
 18 












 
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in
connection with the delivery of any Shares to the Purchaser. 
 6.3    Entire Agreement. The Transaction
Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such
subject matter, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. 

6.4    Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be
provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective upon actual receipt via mail, courier or confirmed email by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall
be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. 
 6.5    Amendments; Waivers. No provision of
this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by (a) the Company and (b) the Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived
provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision,
condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. 

6.6    Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement
and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 
 6.7    Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser (other than by merger). The Purchaser may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company (other than by merger). 

6.8    Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 

6.9    Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of
the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings
concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New
York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction 

  
 19 












 
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal
service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. 

6.10    Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the
event that any signature on this Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a legally valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. 

6.11    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.
It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable. 
 6.12    Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its
related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights. 
 6.13    Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or
instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable 

  
 20 












 
indemnity or bond, if requested. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity)
associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. 
 6.14    Remedies. The Company shall be
entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, for any breach of the Transaction Documents. 

6.15    Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction
Documents or any amendments hereto. 
 6.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN
ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY
