 WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred
Stock”), in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

right to accept or reject this or any other subscription in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by Purchaser of notice of acceptance. If this subscription (“Subscription”) is rejected by the Company
in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly return all funds received from the Purchaser without interest or deduction and this Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If the Subscription is accepted in whole or in part, the
Company shall notify the Purchaser of the date(s) of the closing of the purchase and sale of Shares (each, a “Closing”), which Closing shall occur after the close of market at the offices of the Company. 

Promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Investor one or more stock certificates evidencing the number of Shares the
Investor is purchasing pursuant to the Subscription. 







 3. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally but
not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that the statements contained in this Section 3 are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and complete as of the date of the Closing: 

3.1. Organization. The Purchaser represents that the Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has not been organized, reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of investing in the Company and has all corporate, partnership, limited liability or
similar power and authority, as applicable, to enter into this Agreement and the instruments referred to herein to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 

3.2. Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the instruments referred to herein, in each case to
which the Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, 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 instruments referred to herein to which it is a party will be duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser, and each such agreement and instrument
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. 

3.3. Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or other Person which has been retained by or is
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.

 3.4. 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. 

3.5. 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. 
 3.6.
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 Agreement and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. The 







 
Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Shares without economic hardship, if such a loss should
occur. 
 3.7. Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 
 3.8. Access to Information. The Purchaser has had adequate
opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company’s officers, employees, agents, accountants, and representatives concerning the Company’s business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities, and all other
matters relevant to its investment in the Shares. Purchaser understands that an investment in the Shares bears significant risk and represents that it has reviewed the SEC Reports (as defined herein), which serve to qualify the Company
representations set forth in this Agreement. 
 3.9. Restricted Securities. 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(2) of the Securities Act and that under such laws and
applicable regulations the Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares, except as provided in this Agreement. The
Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement. 

3.10. 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) 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. 
 3.11. Short Sales, etc. Purchaser represents, warrants and
covenants to the Company that Purchaser has not, either directly or indirectly through an affiliate, agent or representative of the Company, engaged in any transaction in the securities of the Company during the thirty (30) days prior to the
date that the Purchaser first learned of the proposed offering of the Shares. Purchaser represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company that Purchaser will not engage in any short sales of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value
per share (the “Common Stock”) prior to the earlier of (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (either directly or indirectly through an affiliate, agent or representative) and (ii) the date as of which
the Purchaser may sell any of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S, as applicable, each as promulgated under the Securities Act and only to the extent permitted under the Securities Act. 







 3.12. Foreign Purchaser Representations. To the extent applicable, Purchasers who are
identified on the signature page hereto as not a “U.S. Purchaser” shall also make the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto. 
 4. Representations and Warranties by the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or as may be disclosed by the Company in a written Disclosure Schedule provided by the Company to the
Purchasers dated the date hereof (the “Disclosure Schedule”), the Company represents and warrants to the Purchasers that the statements contained in this Section 4 are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement
and will be true and complete as of the date of the Closing, as the case may be. The SEC Reports are incorporated herein by reference and serve to qualify the Company’s representations and warranties, to the extent applicable. Accordingly,

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) transferring its Securities 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) the transferee in each case
agrees to be subject to the restrictions in this Section 7 and provides the Company with a representation letter containing substantially the same representations and warranties in Sections 3.3 through 3.10 hereof, (ii) the Company
satisfies itself that the number of transferees is sufficiently limited 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 any Securities may bear substantially the following legends (in addition to any other legends as legal counsel for the Company deems necessary or advisable under the applicable state and federal securities laws or any other agreement to
which the Company is a party): 
 “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.” 
 7.2. Unlegended Certificates. The Company shall be obligated to reissue unlegended certificates at the request of any holder thereof promptly following such request if (a) the holder shall
have obtained an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that, or the Company is otherwise satisfied that, the Securities proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration, qualification or
legend, or (b) the Securities represented by the certificate containing the foregoing legend have been registered for resale as contemplated in Section 8 of this Agreement, in which case the removal shall be predicated on the undertaking
by such Purchaser that the Securities will only be sold pursuant to such registration statement(s) or an available exemption from registration. 







 8. Registration Rights of Purchasers. 

8.1. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission within 30 days after the date of the Automatic
Conversion (the “Filing Deadline”) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on appropriate form covering the resale of the full amount of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock (the
“Registrable Securities”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 180 days after the date of the Filing Deadline. 

8.2. Limitation on Registrable Securities. In the event that the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”)
determines that the full amount of the Registrable Securities cannot be registered on the Registration Statement due to limitations under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (“Rule 415”), then Company shall: (i) register the
resale of that portion of the Registrable Securities as the Staff may permit under its interpretations of Rule 415, and (ii) undertake to register the remaining portion of the Registrable Securities as soon as registration would be permitted
under Rule 415, as determined by the Company in good faith based on the Staff’s publicly available interpretations of Rule 415. 
 8.3. Related Obligations. At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the Commission pursuant to Section 8.1 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 keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of
(i) the date as of which the Purchasers may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S, to the extent a Purchaser is not a U.S. Person as
of the Closing, and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the date on which the Purchasers shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall 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 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) 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 deliver 10 copies of such supplement or amendment to the Purchasers (or such other number of copies as the
Purchasers may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Purchasers in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus 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 on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (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.

 (d) 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. 
 (e) 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. 







 (f) 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 60 Business Days during any 365-day 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 requirements of Section 8 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 requirements of Section 8 with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. 

8.4. Obligations of the Purchasers. 
 (a) At least two Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Purchaser in writing of the 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 acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of the Purchaser’s election to exclude all of the Purchaser’s
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. 
 (c) Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the existence of a Grace Period, the Purchaser will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration 







 
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 8.3(f) or receipt of
notice that no supplement or amendment is required. 
 (d) Each Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. 

8.5. Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection
with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 8, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be
paid by the Company. 
 8.6. Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the
benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchasers to sell the Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: 

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, during the
Reporting Period; 
 (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Company under the Exchange Act; and 
 (c) furnish to the Purchasers so long as any Purchaser owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request during the Reporting Period, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) 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 (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Purchasers to sell the Shares pursuant
to Rule 144 without registration. 







 8.7. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under this Section 8 shall be
automatically assignable by a Purchaser to any transferee of all or any portion of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and a copy of such
agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee
agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement. 

8.8. Indemnification. 
 (a) Company Indemnification. The Company will indemnify each Purchaser who holds Registrable Securities (if Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser are included in the securities as to which
such registration is being effected), each of its officers and directors, partners, members and each person controlling such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities 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, 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 defective or (Z) a Purchaser’s (or any other indemnified person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the
prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, 







 
pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such person if such statement or omission was corrected in such prospectus or supplement; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section 8.8(a) 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 the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 (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, and each such holder, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities 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 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 8.8(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 8.8(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 8.8 (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 which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.8 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 in connection with the untrue statement or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, damage 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 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 proceeds from the offering received by such Purchaser. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any loss, claim, damage 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 8.8 was available to such party in accordance with its terms. 

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers under this Section 8.8 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 8.8 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. 

9. Conversion. 
 (a) The ability of the Purchasers to convert any portion of the Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock shall be subject to stockholder approval of such conversion under applicable NASDAQ Marketplace
Rules (the “Stockholder Approval”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser shall have the right to exercise such Purchaser’s conversion rights pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Designations until the Company receives
Stockholder Approval. 
 (b) The Company shall call a special meeting of stockholders and use reasonable best
efforts to obtain Stockholder Approval within 120 days of the date of Closing. Upon receipt of Stockholder Approval, all holders of Preferred Shares shall be deemed to have irrevocably exercised their conversion rights under Article IV of the
Certificate of Designations without any further action by the holders, individually or collectively, and all Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted according to their terms, subject to the limitation in Paragraph C of Article IV of the
Certificate of Designations, in which case the remaining portion of any Preferred Shares that cannot be so converted will be automatically converted at such time when conversion is permitted under Paragraph C of Article IV of the Certificate of
Designations.

 ANNEX A 

NON-U.S. PURCHASER 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
 (Applicable only if checking “Not a U.S. Person” on signature page) 
 1.
Purchaser represents and warrants that it (a) is not a “U.S. Person” (defined below), (b) is not acquiring the Shares for any U.S. Person, and (c) is not an underwriter, dealer or other person who must contractually
participate in the distribution of the Shares. 
 For purposes of this Annex A, “U.S. Person” means: 

 

	 	•	 	 Any natural person residing in the United States (regardless of whether they have U.S. citizenship), 



 

	 	•	 	 Any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under U.S. laws. Non-U.S. partnerships and corporations formed by U.S. persons principally to
invest in unregistered securities are also U.S. persons unless organized and owned by accredited investors (within the meaning of Regulation D) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts. 



 

	 	•	 	 Any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States. 



 

	 	•	 	 Any non-discretionary account held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person. 



 

	 	•	 	 Any discretionary account held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated or resident in the United States; provided, however, that the
following is not a U.S. person: any discretionary account held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a non-U.S. person, even if the dealer or fiduciary is organized, incorporated or physically resides in the United
States. 


  

	 	•	 	 Any trust or estate with a trustee, executor or administrator who is a U.S. person unless: 



 

	 	•	 	 the trust or estate gives sole or shared investment power to a non-U.S. trustee, executor or administrator, as applicable; and



  

	 	•	 	 (in the case of a trust) no beneficiary and no settler of a revocable trust is a U.S. person or (in the case of an estate) the estate is governed by a
foreign law. 


 2. Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Shares has not been registered under the
Securities Act or any foreign securities laws and is being made in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act. Purchaser agrees to resell the Shares only according with Regulation S or pursuant to a registration statement covering the
resale of the Shares or an available registration exemption. 
 3. Purchaser agrees not to hedge the Shares securities except in compliance with
the Securities Act. 







 4. Purchaser agrees that the certificates representing the Shares shall bear a legend stating that the
transfer of the Shares is prohibited except in compliance with Regulation S, under a registration statement covering the securities or an available registration exemption, and that hedging transactions involving these securities are prohibited
except in compliance with the Securities Act. 
 5. Purchaser agrees that the Company shall not, and shall instruct the transfer agent for the
Common Stock not to, register any transfer of Shares that does not comply with Regulation S or is not made under a registration statement covering the securities or an available registration exemption.
