 2. Shelf

to the Company, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (the
“Shelf Registration Statement”). Such Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on
another appropriate form in accordance herewith as the Holders may consent) and shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall use its best efforts to
cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and in any event not later than the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement and shall use its best
efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities are eligible for sale under paragraph (k) of Rule 144 without any
volume, manner of sale or other restrictions and (ii) when all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall notify each Holder in writing promptly
(and in any event within one Trading Day) after receiving notification from the Commission that a Registration Statement has been declared effective. 
 3. Demand Registration. 
 a. If at any time after the Expiration Date the Company shall receive a
written Holder Request that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act, then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders and, subject to the
limitations of Section 3(b) below, shall file (as expeditiously as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such request) and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have declared effective, a
registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within eighteen (18) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 9(e)
below. 
 b. The right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a registration effected pursuant to a Holder
Request shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Holders
participating in the underwriting and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. A majority in interest of the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the underwriting, in consultation with the Company, shall select the managing
underwriter or underwriters in such underwriting. 

  

 3 








 
All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 5(l)) enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters so selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of such Holders; provided, however, that no Holder (or any of their assignees) shall be required to make any
representations, warranties or indemnities except as they relate to such Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such
Holder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the underwriter advises a Holder that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Holder shall so advise the Company and the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among holders of Registrable Securities that have elected to participate in such underwritten offering, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to
the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by all such holders, until such holders have included in the underwriting all shares requested by such holders to be included, and (ii) thereafter, among all other holders of Common Stock, if
any, that have the right and have elected to participate in such underwritten offering, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of shares of Common Stock owned by such holders. Without the consent of a majority in interest of the
Holders of Registrable Securities participating in a registration referred to in Section 3(a), no securities other than Registrable Securities shall be covered by such registration if the inclusion of such other securities would result in a
reduction of the number of Registrable Securities covered by such registration or included in any underwriting or if, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, the inclusion of such other securities would adversely impact the marketing of such
offering. 
 c. The Company shall be obligated to effect only one (1) registration (and only if such registration would include
Registrable Securities with an aggregate value of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000), calculated using the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the Trading Market on the date preceding the date of the Holder Request) pursuant
to Holder Requests under this Section 3 (an offering which is not consummated shall not be counted for this purpose). 
 d.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3, a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed by reason of a material pending transaction and it is therefore essential to defer
the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the Holder Request provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

 4. Piggy-Back Registrations. 
 a. At anytime after the Expiration Date, if (but without any obligation to do so under this Agreement) the Company proposes to register any of its Common
Shares under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration on Form S-8 (or similar or successor form) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company
stock plan or to other compensatory arrangements to the extent includable on Form S-8 (or similar or successor form), or a registration on Form S-4 (or similar or successor form)), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written
notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder received by the Company within ten (10) Trading Days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 9(e), the Company shall use its best efforts
to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder (the “Electing Holders”) has requested to be registered. The Company shall have no obligation under this Section 4 to make any
offering of its securities, or to complete an offering of its securities that it proposes to make. 
 b. If the managing underwriter or
underwriters for an offering made pursuant to a Piggy-Back Registration Statement that is to be underwritten advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall
so advise the Electing Holders, and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as follows:

sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the
extent that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. 
 An Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying
Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have 

  

 12 








 
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or
(iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. 
 All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party
is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not
entitled to indemnification hereunder). 
 d. Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 8(a) or 8(b) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such
Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), 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 was available to such party in
accordance with its terms. 
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  

 13 








 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that
the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 
 9. Miscellaneous. 
 a. Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company,
as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder
agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in
respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 b. Amendments and Waivers. The
provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Company and the Holders of at least two-thirds of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. 
 c. Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement. 
 d. Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable
Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 5(c)(v), 5(c)(vi), or 5(c)(vii), or Sections 6(c)(v), 6(c)(vi), or 6(c)(vii), as applicable, such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of any supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement, or until it is advised in writing (the
“Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such
Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. 
 e.
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 on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice
or communication is 

  

 14 








 
delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the
next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 4:30 p.m. (New York City time)
and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such
notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth in the Merger Agreement. 
 f.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Holders may be freely assigned or delegated by such Holders in
conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such Holders. 
 g. Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof. 

h. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRAIL. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF KANSAS. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATIONS, ENFORCEMENT AND DEFENSE OF THE TRANSACTIONS

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 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.

 Annex A 
 Plan of Distribution 
 The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of
their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares: 
  

	 	•	 	 ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits sellers; 


  

	 	•	 	 block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; 


  

	 	•	 	 purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; 


  

	 	•	 	 an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 


  

	 	•	 	 privately negotiated transactions; 


  

	 	•	 	 short sales; 


  

	 	•	 	 broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; 


  

	 	•	 	 a combination of any such methods of sale; and 


  

	 	•	 	 any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 


 The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. 
 The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these
trades. 
 Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers
may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the seller of shares, from the seller) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts
to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates
in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act. 
 The selling stockholders
may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares
of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. 







 The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which
case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to
this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus. 
 The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be
deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. 
 We are required to pay all fees and
expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 
 The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling
stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of
the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 
 The anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.
