Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Net Working Capital Amount shall be 12:01 a.m., local station time, on the TBA Effective Date. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount would otherwise exceed $17.5 million, and Purchaser provides a

(c) Disputes. Upon delivery of the NWC Statement, to the extent in the possession or control of Purchaser, Purchaser will provide to
Seller and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the books and records (including work papers prepared in sufficient detail), employees and accountants of the Companies, to the

Closing Net Working Capital Amount or any element of the NWC Statement relevant thereto, it shall notify Purchaser of such disagreement in writing within twenty (20) days after its receipt of the NWC Statement, which notice shall set forth in
reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement. In the event that Seller does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such twenty (20) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the NWC Statement and the calculation of
the Preliminary Closing Net Working Capital Amount delivered by Purchaser, and such Preliminary Closing Net Working Capital Amount shall be deemed the “Closing Net Working Capital Amount” for purposes of this Agreement. In the event
any such notice of disagreement is timely provided by Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of twenty (20) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements
with respect to the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then an independent accounting firm of recognized


  
 16 








 
national standing as may be mutually selected by Purchaser and Seller (the “Auditor”) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. If Purchaser and Seller cannot mutually agree on
the choice of the Auditor, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of three independent accounting firms of national standing in the United States and Seller shall select one of such three accounting firms to act as the Auditor. The Auditor
shall determine the Net Working Capital Amount as of the TBA Effective Date as promptly as practicable, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the date on which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, based solely on written
submissions forwarded by Purchaser and Seller to the Auditor within ten (10) days following the Auditor’s selection, and such amount, which shall be equal to or between Seller’s and Purchaser’s calculations of Closing Net Working
Capital Amount, in the aggregate, shall be deemed the “Closing Net Working Capital Amount” for purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be paid one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller. The
determination of the Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The date on which the Closing Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.06(c) is referred as to the
“Determination Date.”

that if any such date is not a Business Day, Seller shall pay the relevant Interim Net Working Capital Payment on the first Business Day immediately following such date. 

(ii) The “Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean the difference
between (A) the Closing Net Working Capital Amount and (B) the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount. 
 (iii) On
the later of (A) the Determination Date, or (B) the day that is ninety-one (91) days after the TBA Effective Date, (1) if the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is positive, then within five (5) days after the
Determination Date, Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, to Seller the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (2) if Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount is negative, then within five (5) days after

evaluation of the Retained Liabilities Statement, and shall cause the employees of Seller to cooperate with Purchaser and its Representatives in connection with Purchaser’s review of the Retained Liabilities Statement and other documents and
information relating to Seller’s calculation of the Retained Liabilities as Purchaser may request. If Purchaser shall disagree with the calculation of the Retained Liabilities or any element of the Retained Liabilities Statement relevant
thereto, it shall notify Seller of such disagreement in writing within sixty (60) days after its receipt of the Retained Liabilities Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement. In the event
that Purchaser does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such sixty (60) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Retained Liabilities Statement and the calculation of the Retained Liabilities delivered by Seller,
which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event a notice of disagreement is timely provided by Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of twenty
(20) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of the Retained Liabilities. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then an Auditor
shall resolve any remaining disagreements. If Purchaser and Seller cannot mutually agree on the choice of the Auditor, then Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a list of three independent accounting firms of national standing in the United States and
Seller shall select one of such three accounting firms to act as the Auditor. The Auditor shall determine the Retained Liabilities as of the Closing Date as promptly as practicable, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the date on
which such dispute is referred to the Auditor, based solely on written submissions forwarded by Purchaser and Seller to the Auditor within ten (10) days following the Auditor’s selection, and such Retained Liabilities amount, which shall
be equal to or between Seller’s and Purchaser’s calculations with respect to the Retained Liabilities, in the aggregate, shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be paid
one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Seller. 
 (c) Within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Retained
Liabilities in accordance with this Section 2.07, (i) in the event that the Final Retained Liabilities Amount exceeds the Preliminary Retained Liabilities Amount, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such excess in cash or
immediately available funds, and (ii) in the event that the Preliminary Retained Liabilities Amount exceeds the Final Retained Liabilities Amount, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such excess in cash or immediately available funds.
The “Final Retained Liabilities Amount” means an amount equal to the Retained Liabilities as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.07.

 SECTION 2.08. Withholding. Any party shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from
any payments made pursuant to this Agreement any amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of any such payment under applicable Tax Law at the applicable rate for such withholding, and shall timely remit any such
withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority as required by applicable Law, unless, with respect to a certain payment, the payee provides the payor with a valid exemption from or reduction of withholding tax in respect of such payment
at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such payment. Any amounts deducted and withheld and timely remitted pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the
Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

numbered paragraphs contained in this Agreement, and whether or not the corresponding lettered and numbered paragraph contains an explicit reference to the Seller Disclosure Schedule, provided that (i) items disclosed in one section of the
Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosed in all other applicable sections of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to the extent it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is relevant to another section of
this Agreement or of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in the Seller Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation, warranty or covenant shall not be deemed an admission by Seller that such item
has had, or would have, a Material Adverse Effect, or that such item is material or meets or exceeds any monetary or other threshold specified for disclosure in the Agreement, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows: 

SECTION 3.01. Organization, Authority and Qualification of Seller. Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments, documents and certificates to be executed and delivered by Seller in
connection herewith, including the TBA and the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Ancillary Documents”), to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Seller is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction which the properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that
the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents by Seller, the performance by Seller of its
obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Seller, including its board of directors and applicable
shareholders (to the extent required by applicable Law). This Agreement and the Ancillary Documents have been, or upon execution and delivery thereof 

  
 19 








 
(in the case of Ancillary Documents not delivered herewith) will be, duly executed and delivered by Seller, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchaser and Parent) this
Agreement and the Ancillary Documents are, or upon execution and delivery thereof (in the case of Ancillary Documents not delivered herewith) will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with
their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles
(the “Enforceability Exceptions”). No further act or proceeding on the part of Seller or its shareholders is necessary to authorize this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 

SECTION 3.02. Organization, Authority and Qualification of the Companies. Each Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all necessary corporate power and authority to own, operate or lease the properties and Assets now owned, operated or leased by it and to carry on its
business as it has been and is currently conducted. Each Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business makes such
licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that any failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.03. Capitalization; Ownership of Shares. A complete list of the authorized and the issued and outstanding capital stock
or other ownership interests, as the case may be, of the Companies and the record holders thereof as of the date hereof is set forth in Section 3.03 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. No shares of capital stock of any Company are held in

Knowledge, oral notice claiming that any Permit may be terminated, revoked, suspended, limited or modified or may not be renewed except where such revocation, suspension, modification or limitation has not resulted, and would not reasonably be

respective Assets, or any officers or directors of any Company in their capacities as such, at Law or in equity or before or by any Governmental Authority that would result in material liability to the Business or otherwise materially interfere with

sensitive and confidential Intellectual Property of the Companies has been maintained in confidence in all material respects.

certifications required of him or her under Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As of the date hereof, no Parent Subsidiary is 

  
 39 








 
separately subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding comments from or unresolved issues raised by the SEC with respect to
any of the Parent SEC Documents. 
 (b) The audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries (including, in each case, any related notes and schedules thereto) included in the Parent SEC Documents (collectively, the “Parent Financial Statements”), (i) complied as of
their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, (ii) have been prepared from the books and records of Parent and in accordance with GAAP applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of interim financial statements, for normal and recurring year-end adjustments and as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q, Form
8-K or any successor or like form under the Exchange Act), and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of
Purchaser as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein (except, in the case of interim financial statements, for normal and recurring year-end adjustments as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any successor or like form
under the Exchange Act). The books and records of Parent have been kept accurately and maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements. As of the date hereof, neither
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP nor any director or officer of Parent has resigned (or informed Parent that it intends to resign) or been dismissed by Parent as a result of or in connection with any disagreements with Parent on a matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. 
 (c) Parent has established and maintains a system
of internal accounting controls that comply with Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act and are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance: (i) that material transactions, receipts and expenditures of
Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries are being executed and made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations of management and the board of directors of Parent, (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
Parent’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, (iii) that material information relating to Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries is made known to management and the board of directors of Parent, and (iv) that the
amount recorded for assets on the books and records of the Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries are compared with the existing assets and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. Parent’s principal executive officer and
principal financial officer have disclosed, based on their most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Parent’s outside auditors and the audit committee of Parent’s board of directors (x) any significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and
report financial information, and (y) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal controls over financial reporting. 

SECTION 4.12. Absence of Undisclosed Material Liabilities. There are no material Liabilities of Purchaser, Parent or the Parent
Subsidiaries (whether accrued, contingent, 

  
 40 








 
absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise) of a nature required to be disclosed or reflected on or reserved against in, or to be disclosed in the notes to, the Parent Financial Statements
as of and for the period ended on the Reference Statement Date included in the Parent SEC Documents, other than Liabilities (a) reflected or reserved against on the Parent Financial Statements or the notes thereto, (b) set forth in
Section 4.12 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, (c) incurred since the Reference Statement Date in the ordinary course of business of Purchaser and Parent (consistent with past practice), or (d) that would not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the operation of Purchaser’s business, and to Purchaser’s Knowledge there is no circumstance currently existing as of the date hereof that would reasonably be expected to
result in such Liability. 
 SECTION 4.13. Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Reference Statement Date, through the date of
this Agreement, there has not been any Purchaser MAE or any event(s), circumstance(s), change(s), or effect(s) which have had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate with all other such event(s), circumstance(s),
change(s), or effect(s), a Purchaser MAE. 
 SECTION 4.14. Financing. On the Closing Date, Purchaser will have sufficient cash,
available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds to make the payments required by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.15
Material Contracts. Parent, or its applicable subsidiary party to each of the Contracts filed as exhibits to Parent’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, is in compliance with, and is not in default under, any such Contract, except as has not, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Purchaser MAE.

however, that any such access shall be conducted during normal business hours, under the supervision of Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Business. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not be required to disclose any information to Purchaser if such disclosure would, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, (a) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, or
(b) contravene any applicable Law (including the HSR Act), fiduciary duty or agreement; provided, that Seller and the Companies, as applicable, shall make any reasonable and appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under
circumstances in which disclosure is so 

  
 44 








 
restricted, such as by designating certain portions of such information as being provided on an outside-counsel basis only. All information provided pursuant to this Section 5.02
shall remain subject in all respects to the Confidentiality Agreement. 
 (b) In order to facilitate the resolution of any claims made by or
against or incurred by any party or any of its Affiliates or Representatives after the Closing (other than any claim made by a party against another party to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents), and any applicable Law or any request or
requirement of any Governmental Authority or for any other reasonable purpose, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, (A) retain the books and records
(including Tax Returns) of the Companies within their possession or control in a manner consistent with such party’s customary document retention policies (other than destruction policies) on or after the Closing, (B) upon reasonable
notice, afford the Representatives of the other parties reasonable access (including the right to make photocopies, at such parties expense), during normal business hours, under the supervision of the other party’s personnel and in such a
manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of such party’s business, to such books and records and reasonable access to and the reasonable assistance of the other party and its subsidiaries and respective Representatives
with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 5.02(b) and (C) otherwise cooperate with and assist the other parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, at the other parties’ cost and expense, in
connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 5.02(b), including by causing its and its Affiliates’ employees to avail themselves for trial, depositions, interviews and other Action-related litigation endeavors. 

SECTION 5.03. Confidentiality. 

(a) The terms of the letter agreement dated as of September 7, 2014, as amended September 15, 2014 (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”) between Seller and Purchaser are hereby incorporated by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of Purchaser under this
Section 5.03 shall terminate. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect. 

(b) Nothing provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.02 shall in any way amend or diminish Purchaser’s obligations under
the Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any information provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.02 or otherwise by Seller, the Companies or any officer, director, employee, agent, Representative,
accountant or counsel thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that neither the foregoing nor anything in the Confidentiality Agreement shall prohibit Purchaser or its Affiliates from
(i) engaging in discussions with one (1) or more potential acquirers of one (1) or more of the Stations during the term of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall furnish a list
of the parties with which it has disclosed Confidential Information in connection with such discussions, or (ii) sharing Confidential Information relating to such Station(s) with such potential acquirer(s), it being agreed that such potential
acquirer(s) shall be deemed a “Representative” of Purchaser under the Confidentiality Agreement. 

  
 45 








 (c) From and after the Closing, Seller shall treat and hold as confidential all of the
Confidential Information and refrain from disclosing or using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement or to its Representatives who have a need to know to such Confidential Information and who agree to hold such
information as confidential. In the event that Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any Action or by any Governmental Authority) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall, to the
extent legally permissible, notify Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.03(c). If, in the absence of a
protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority, Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to such Governmental
Authority; provided, however, that Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Purchaser and at Purchaser’s expense, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall designate. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to
deliver promptly to Purchaser, at the request and option of the Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and copies thereof), of such Confidential Information which are in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s control with respect to which
copies are not already in the possession of the Companies, and shall destroy all other Confidential Information, provided, that neither Seller nor its Affiliates or Representatives shall be required to destroy any routine backup tapes or
systems, and each shall be permitted to retain copies of the Confidential Information included in non-Company board materials, included in this Agreement (including the schedules, exhibits and related agreements) or retained solely for compliance
purposes or purposes of fulfilling its obligations hereunder, provided that they shall continue to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as provided herein. 

SECTION 5.04. Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents. 

(a) Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals
of all Governmental Authorities and officials that are necessary or advisable for its performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and will cooperate with each other in
promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall make any required filings
with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including a request for early termination of the waiting period thereunder), and shall
thereafter promptly respond to all requests received from such agencies for additional information or documentation and shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly cause the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

 (b) Purchaser and Seller each shall oppose any petitions to deny or other objections filed with respect to the FCC Applications, the
Divestiture Application or any of them, to the extent such petition or objection relates to such party. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall take any intentional action that would, or intentionally fail to take such action the failure of which to take
would, reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying receipt of the FCC Consent or grant of the Divestiture Application. 

  
 46 








 (c) Each party to this Agreement shall, except as prohibited by Law, promptly notify the other
party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party
to any Governmental Authority. Neither party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless, to the extent permitted by Law, it consults
with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. The parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each
other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking the Government Consents. Except as prohibited by Law, the parties to this Agreement will
provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 5.05. Retained Names and Marks. 

(a) Purchaser hereby acknowledges that all right, title and interest in and to any of the trademarks, service marks, domain names, trade
names, corporate names, logos and other identifiers of Seller and its Affiliates which are comprised of or incorporate the terms “Lincoln”, “Lincoln National”, “Lincoln Financial”, “LFM”,
“Jefferson-Pilot”, “Lincoln Financial Media” (including the website “lincolnfinancialmedia.com”), “Lincoln Financial Management”, “You’re In Charge,” “Chief Life Officer” and
“Hello Future,” together with trademarks, service marks, domain names, trade names, corporate names, logos and other identifiers of source of Seller and its Affiliates that comprise or are derived from any of the foregoing, or that
constitute confusingly similar variations thereof or confusingly similar derivations therefrom (the “Retained Names and Marks”) are owned exclusively by Seller or its Affiliates, and that any and all rights of any of the Companies
to use the Retained Names and Marks as source identifiers shall terminate as of the Closing. Purchaser further acknowledges that it is not acquiring any rights (including any title or interest in or license or other right to use) with respect to the
Retained Names and Marks, and that any title, interest, license or other such right or arrangement relating thereto existing prior to the Closing shall automatically terminate simultaneously with and effective as of the Closing. 

(b) Purchaser shall, promptly and within ten (10) days following the Closing, cause each of the Companies to file amended articles of
incorporation with the appropriate authorities changing their corporate names to corporate names that do not contain any Retained Names and Marks and to promptly supply copies of any such filings to Seller. As soon as practicable following the
Closing, but not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Companies to remove and change signage, change and substitute promotional or advertising material in whatever medium, change stationery and packaging and
take all such other steps as may be required or appropriate to cease use of all Retained Names and Marks; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 5.05 by


  
 47 








 
reason of (i) the appearance of any Retained Names and Marks in or on any tools, dies, equipment, engineering/manufacturing drawings, manuals, work sheets, operating procedures, other
written materials or other assets that are used for internal purposes only in connection with the Business; provided, that the Companies endeavor to remove such Retained Names and Marks in the ordinary course of the operation of the Business,
or (ii) the appearance of any Retained Names and Marks in or on any third party’s publications, marketing materials, brochures, instruction sheets, or other materials Seller distributed in the ordinary course of business prior to the TBA
Effective Date, and that generally are in the public domain, or any other similar uses by any such third party over which Purchaser has no control. 

SECTION 5.06. Control. Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, control, supervise or direct the operation of the Stations
prior to Closing. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, subject to the terms of the TBA, and consistent with the Communications Act and the FCC Rules, control, supervision and direction of the operation of the Stations prior to Closing shall
remain the responsibility of the holders of the FCC Licenses. 
 SECTION 5.07. Notifications. Until the Closing, each party
hereto shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in
Article VIII of this Agreement becoming incapable of being satisfied, provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing shall not be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in
Article VIII to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of a condition set forth in
Article VIII to be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no disclosure made pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedules or the Purchaser
Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, for the purposes of determining whether (a) the conditions set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied, (b) either party has the right to terminate this Agreement under Article X,
or (c) either party is entitled to indemnification under Article IX. 
 SECTION 5.08. Affiliate Agreements. Except
as set forth in Section 5.08 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, effective at the Closing, all Affiliate Agreements set forth in Section 3.15(a)(v) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be terminated and all amounts owing
thereunder shall be cancelled and full releases of all obligations shall be executed and delivered with respect thereto. 

SECTION 5.09. Further Action. The parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
appropriate action, to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and consummate
and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that no party shall be required to (a) take any action that would result in the incurrence of a fine or other penalty that would require payment by such party,
or (b) divest or otherwise dispose of any assets except as contemplated in this Agreement. 

  
 48 








 SECTION 5.10. Title Insurance, Surveys, and Lien Search. 

(a) With respect to each parcel of the Real Property, Seller and the Companies shall cooperate with Purchaser to enable Purchaser, at
Purchaser’s election, to obtain at Purchaser’s own expense: (i) preliminary reports on title covering a date subsequent to the date hereof, issued by Purchaser’s title company (“Title Company”) containing a
commitment (the “Title Commitment”) of the Title Company to issue one or more (as appropriate) ALTA owner’s or lessee’s title insurance (and corresponding mortgagee’s, if applicable) policies (or updates to existing
ALTA owner’s or lessee’s title insurance policies) (each, a “Title Policy”) insuring the fee simple or leasehold interest of the Company in such parcels of Real Property, and (ii) copies of all documents, filings and
information disclosed in the Title Commitment. 
 (b) With respect to each parcel of the Real Property, Seller and the Companies shall
cooperate with Purchaser to enable Purchaser, at Purchaser’s election and expense, to seek a boundary survey, as-built survey or of similar depiction (which Purchaser shall be entitled to determine) of the Owned Real Property (and to the extent
the prior consent of the owner(s) of the Leased Real Property (or such other party whose consent is required) has been obtained, which consent Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at Purchaser’s request) the Leased Real
Property (the “Survey”). Purchaser and Parent will indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Loss arising out of or related to the preparation of any Survey (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Loss related
to matters disclosed therein), including any claim asserted by the owner of any Leased Real Property, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller Indemnified Parties or any owner of any Leased Property. 

(c) The parties understand and agree that the procedures outlined in this Section 5.10 shall in no event delay the Closing or
affect the conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement, shall in no way affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement, and shall in no way affect the Liabilities of Seller, including any
indemnification obligations of Seller, under this Agreement. Seller and the Companies agree to cooperate reasonably with Purchaser in the event Purchaser elects to obtain Surveys or Title Policies pursuant to Section 5.10(a) and
Section 5.10(b) hereof, such cooperation to include, without limitation, the delivery to Purchaser and/or the Title Company of all customary certificates, affidavits and other materials reasonably requested by the Title Company as a
condition to the issuance of an owner’s or lessee’s title insurance policy for each parcel of the Real Property which Purchaser elects to seek (including an (i) affidavit with respect to mechanics’ liens certifying that there are
no unpaid bills (except as included in the Permitted Liens) for services rendered or materials furnished to any Real Property, (ii) a non-imputation affidavit, and (iii) customary seller’s or owner’s affidavits and indemnities).

 SECTION 5.11. Retained Assets. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, transfer or assign the Assets
and Liabilities set forth on Section 5.11 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Retained Assets”) to an Affiliate or a third party. With respect to any sale of such Retained Assets prior to the Closing Date, Seller
shall provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review drafts of all agreements pursuant to which Seller will dispose of such Retained Assets, and shall incorporate any comments reasonably requested by Purchaser. Any sale, transfer or
assignment of the Retained Assets prior to the Closing Date shall be made at the sole cost and expense of Seller (including any Taxes incurred in connection with such sale, transfer or assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, the Retained Names and
Marks and the privileges and rights set forth in Section 11.19 shall also constitute Retained Assets. 

  
 49 








 SECTION 5.12. No Solicitation. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing or
the earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not, and will cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with any Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliates without the prior written
consent of Purchaser: (a) solicit, initiate, facilitate or encourage, or furnish information with respect to the Companies in connection with, any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to any merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests or
other securities, sale of assets or other business combination involving the Companies or the acquisition of any assets (other than assets sold or acquired in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices) or securities of, the
Companies (an “Alternative Transaction”), (b) negotiate, discuss, explore or otherwise communicate or cooperate in any way with any third party with respect to any Alternative Transaction, (c) enter into any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with respect to an Alternative Transaction or requiring Seller to abandon, terminate or refrain from consummating a transaction with Purchaser, or (d) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or
solicitation in support of any Alternative Transaction. Seller shall immediately cease any discussions or negotiations existing as of the date hereof with any third party relating to any proposed Alternative Transaction, and shall request that all
Confidential Information furnished on behalf of the Companies to any such third parties be returned. 
 SECTION 5.13. Divestiture of
Trust Station. In furtherance of and without limiting Section 5.04, as soon as practicable but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall, and Seller shall cause the
Companies to, file the FCC Applications, which if Purchaser so elects shall contemplate the assignment effective as of the Closing of the FCC authorizations for the Stations to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of Purchaser; provided,
that such process would not reasonably be expected to delay the grant of the FCC Consent. Purchaser shall, and Seller shall cause the Companies to, diligently prosecute the FCC Applications, and otherwise use their reasonable best efforts to obtain

ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to enter into any such transaction, swap,
hedge, short-sale or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Parent; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller from selling any Securities received upon the

TAX MATTERS 
 SECTION 7.01.
Tax Representations. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that, except as set forth in Section 7.01 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule: 

(a) All federal, state and local income Tax Returns and other material Tax Returns required to have been filed by or with respect to any of
the Companies (whether separately or on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group basis) have been timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority (taking into account any extension of time to file granted or obtained), and all
such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material respects. No Company is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time to file any material Tax Return (other than extensions arising solely as a result of automatic extensions of filing
deadlines). No claim has been made by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where a Company does not file Tax Returns that such Company may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. 

(b) All material Taxes due and payable by or with respect to the Companies (whether or not shown or reportable on any Tax Return) have been
paid. 
 (c) All material Taxes (including, without limitation, sales and use and employment Taxes) required by Law to be withheld or
collected by any Company have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been timely paid to the proper Governmental Authority. Each Company has complied with all information reporting and backup withholding provisions of
applicable Law, including the collection and retention of all required exemption certificates and other comparable documentation supporting any claimed exemption or waiver of Taxes on sales or other transactions as to which the Company would have
been obligated to collect or withhold a material amount of Taxes. 
 (d) No deficiency or other assessment relating to any material Taxes of
the Companies or the Business or any other material Taxes has been claimed, proposed, asserted or assessed in writing or threatened in writing by a Governmental Authority against or with respect to any of the Companies that has not been satisfied by
payment, settled or withdrawn. No material Taxes or material Tax Returns of or with respect to any of the Companies are currently under audit, examination or investigation, in each case, by a Governmental Authority, and no such audits, examinations
or investigations have been threatened in writing. 

  
 52 








 (e) There are no liens for Taxes on any assets of any Company, other than statutory liens for
current Taxes of such Company not yet due and payable. None of the assets of any Company is required to be treated for federal income Tax purposes as property owned by any other Person. 

(f) None of the Companies (or any member of any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group with which any Company filed or was required
to file a group Tax Return) has granted any extension or waiver of the statute of limitations applicable to any Tax or Tax Return, in each case, of or with respect to the Companies, which period (after giving effect to such extension or waiver) has
not yet expired. No power of attorney has been executed by or on behalf of any Company with respect to any matters relating to Taxes that is currently in force and that will continue to be in force after the Closing. 

(g) None of the Companies has ever been a member of an affiliated group of corporations (other than a group of which Seller or any of the
Companies is or was the common parent) that filed or was required to file a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group Tax Return. None of the Companies is a party to any Tax sharing, allocation or similar agreement or arrangement or has any
contractual obligation (other than a commercial agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which does not relate to Taxes) to indemnify any other Person with respect to Taxes. None of the Companies has any
Liability for the Taxes of any Person under Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law (other than other members of the Affiliated Group), as a transferee or successor, by contract or
otherwise. 
 (h) None of the Companies has requested or received, or is the subject of, any private letter ruling, technical advice
memoranda, closing agreement or other agreement relating to Taxes or ruling entered into or issued by any Governmental Authority. None of the Companies is currently the beneficiary of any Tax holiday or other Tax reduction or incentive arrangement
with any Governmental Authority (including any voluntary disclosure agreement). To the Knowledge of Seller, none of the Companies will be subject to any recapture, clawback, termination or similar adverse consequence with respect to any Tax credits,
grants or other Tax reduction, abatement or incentive arrangement with any Governmental Authority as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

(i) None of the Companies has entered into or participated in any “reportable transaction” as defined in Regulations
Section 1.6011-4(b). 
 (j) None of the Companies has been a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled
corporation” in connection with any transaction that was treated by the parties as a distribution to which Section 355 of the Code applies. 

(k) None of the Companies will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any
Post-Closing Tax Period as a result of: (i) an adjustment under Section 481(c) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) or any other change in method of accounting requested or made on or prior
to the Closing Date, (ii) any closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) executed on 

  
 53 








 
or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) intercompany transaction or excess loss account described in the Regulations under Section 1502 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar
provision of state, local or foreign Law) occurring or arising on or prior to the Closing Date, (iv) any installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date, (v) any prepaid amount received on or prior to
the Closing Date, or (vi) any election under Section 108(i) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) made on or prior to the Closing Date. None of the Companies have deferred or elected to
defer any gross income economically realized in a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a Post-Closing Tax Period. 
 (l) Seller and the Companies are
eligible to make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the deemed purchase and sale of the outstanding
capital stock of the Subsidiaries resulting from an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares. 

(m) All unclaimed property reports required to be filed by or with respect to any Company have been timely filed with the appropriate
Governmental Authority. All unclaimed property held by any Company has been remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority or delivered or paid to the proper recipient, in each case, as required by applicable Law. 

SECTION 7.02. Preparation of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes. 

(a) Group Returns. Seller or its Affiliate shall prepare or cause to be prepared (at Seller’s expense) and timely file the U.S.
federal consolidated income Tax Return for the Affiliated Group and any other Combined Returns for all taxable periods of the Companies and shall pay all Taxes due with respect thereto. The parties agree that the Companies shall be treated as if
they ceased to be part of the Affiliated Group, and any other group for which a Combined Return is filed, as of the end of the day on the Closing Date. With respect to any short-year Tax Return required to be filed as a result of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to use a closing of the books method to allocate Tax items of the Companies between the short-year ending on the Closing Date and the short-year that begins after the Closing
Date, and none of Seller, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates will make a ratable allocation election under Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) (or any corresponding or similar state, local or foreign Law) with respect to the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement to the extent such election is permissible. To the extent required by Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) (and any corresponding or similar state, local or foreign Law), any extraordinary
transaction that occurs on the Closing Date after the Closing shall be treated as occurring on the day after the Closing Date. Seller or its Affiliate shall provide Purchaser with copies of the separate company pro-forma portion of all such Tax
Returns relating to the Companies within ten (10) Business Days after filing any such Tax Returns. 
 (b) Separate Company
Returns. Seller or its Affiliate shall prepare or cause to be prepared (at Seller’s expense) any other Tax Returns of the Companies required to be filed after the Closing Date for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date
and shall pay 

  
 54 








 
all Taxes due with respect thereto. If a Company is permitted under applicable Law to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period in which the Closing occurs, Seller and
Purchaser shall treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) the Closing Date as the last day of such taxable period. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the past practices of the applicable Company, except as otherwise
required by applicable Law. Seller shall provide a draft of each such Tax Return to Purchaser for its review and comment a reasonable time, and no later than twenty (20) Business Days for any income Tax Return, prior to the due date for filing
such Tax Return (including any applicable extensions). Seller shall in good faith consider all reasonable comments received from Purchaser in writing no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return,
including any applicable extensions. Seller shall deliver the final Tax Return to Purchaser, together with an amount equal to the Taxes shown as due thereon, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date thereof, and Purchaser
shall timely file each such Tax Return and timely pay all Taxes shown as due thereon. No such Tax Return shall be filed without Purchaser’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(c) Straddle Period Returns and Taxes. 

(i) Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared (at Purchaser’s expense) all Tax Returns of the Companies for all Straddle Periods
(other than any Combined Returns described in Section 7.02(a)). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the past practices of the applicable Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall provide
a copy of each such Tax Return (accompanied, where appropriate, by an allocation between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period of the Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Return) to Seller for its review, comment and approval
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) a reasonable time, and no later than twenty (20) Business Days for any income Tax Return, prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (including any applicable
extensions). Purchaser shall incorporate all reasonable comments received from Seller in writing no later than five (5) Business Days before the due date of such Tax Return, including any applicable extensions. Purchaser shall timely file each
such Tax Return and, subject to the other provisions in this Agreement, timely pay all Taxes shown as due thereon. Seller shall pay to Purchaser no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return the
amount of Taxes owing with respect to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date as determined pursuant to Section 7.02(c)(ii). 

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, including Article IX, in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period,
the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed equal to (A) in the case of real or personal property Taxes or other similar Taxes imposed on an ad valorem basis, the amount of such Taxes for the
entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period, (B) in the case of
any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, a proportionate amount of such Taxes computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date and the timing of the Closing Date in
relation to the relevant Straddle Period, and (C) in the case of any other Taxes, the amount of Taxes that would be payable based on an interim closing of the 

  
 55 








 
books of the applicable Company as of the end of the day on the Closing Date; provided, that, exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as
depreciation) shall be apportioned on a pro rata basis. All determinations necessary to effect the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the applicable Company, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

 (d) Tax Sharing Agreements; Amendments. All Tax sharing, allocation or other similar agreements or arrangements to which any
Company is a party shall be terminated effective prior to or as of the Closing. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall file any amended Tax Return for any Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period without Purchaser’s consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if such filing reasonably could be expected to increase the Liability of Purchaser or any Company for Taxes in a Post-Closing Tax Period. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including
the Companies after the Closing Date) shall file any amended Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period without Seller’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(e) Tax Refunds and Tax Benefits. Except as provided with respect to refunds of Transfer Taxes, any refund or credit resulting from
overpayment of any Excluded Taxes or any Taxes (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the property of Seller, and if received by Purchaser or the Companies after the Closing
Date, shall be paid over promptly to Seller; provided, that any refund or credit resulting from an overpayment of Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be prorated based upon the method employed in Section 7.02(c)(ii) taking into
account the type of Tax to which the refund relates. If any such refund is paid over to Seller pursuant to this Section 7.02(e) and is subsequently revoked, rescinded or otherwise required to be repaid to the relevant Governmental Authority,
Seller shall repay the amount of such refund that is required to be repaid to the relevant Governmental Authority to Purchaser within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor. Purchaser shall, at Seller’s reasonable request and at
Seller’s expense, cause the Companies or other relevant entity to file for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the receipt of any refund to which Seller is entitled under this Section 7.02(e). Purchaser shall permit
Seller to participate in (at Seller’s expense) the prosecution of any such refund claim. Neither Purchaser nor any of the Companies shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Tax Law, carryback to a Pre-Closing Tax Period any item of loss,
deduction or credit or any net operating loss, net capital loss or other tax credit or benefit that is attributable to, arises from or relates to any taxable period (or portion thereof) commencing after the Closing Date. 

(f) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares shall be borne one-half
by Seller and one-half by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely preparing and filing all Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed in connection with such Transfer Taxes. Seller shall cause all appropriate stock
Transfer Tax stamps to be affixed to the certificate or certificates representing the Shares sold and delivered pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent a party pays any Transfer Tax in excess of the amount for which it is liable under this
Section 7.02(f), the party responsible for such excess amount shall reimburse the other party for such amount within fifteen (15) Business Days of delivery to the responsible party of evidence of


  
 56 








 
payment of such Transfer Tax to the applicable Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any refund of Transfer Taxes shall be for the benefit of the
party who paid such Taxes (whether directly or by way of reimbursing the other party) and, if applicable, shall be paid over to such party within fifteen (15) Business Days of another party’s receipt of any such refund. 

SECTION 7.03. Tax Claims. 

(a) Payment of Claims. Any Purchaser Indemnified Party making a claim for Excluded Taxes or other Losses pursuant to
Article IX shall promptly give written notice of such claim to Seller, together with a copy of the Tax Return or other relevant documentation evidencing the Tax Liability or other Loss. Seller shall pay the amount of such claim to the
Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand is made; provided, in no event shall Seller be obligated to make any such payment with respect to Taxes earlier than five (5) Business Days before the date on
which such Taxes are required to be paid to the relevant Governmental Authority. In the case of any contested Tax, payment of the Tax to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall not be considered to be due earlier than the date a final
determination with respect to such Tax Liability is made by the appropriate Governmental Authority. 
 (b) Notice of Tax Claims. If a
Governmental Authority shall make any claim relating to Taxes that, if successful, might result in a claim for indemnification under Article IX (a “Tax Claim”), the party against whom such claim is made shall promptly (and,
in any event within ten (10) calendar days) give written notice to the other party, together with copies of all notices and communications relating to such Tax Claim; provided, however, no failure or delay in providing notice of a
Tax Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the indemnifying party hereunder except to the extent the indemnified party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and
shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Governmental Authority. 
 (c) Tax Claims Relating
to Group Taxes. Seller shall have the right (at Seller’s expense) to control the conduct of all proceedings and make all decisions relating to any Tax Claims relating to any U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return of the Affiliate Group
and any Combined Returns; provided, however, that solely to the extent the resolution of such Tax Claim reasonably would be expected to increase the Tax liability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including a Company) for any
taxable period ending after the Closing Date or reasonably would be expected to result in a Tax or Loss to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including a Company) for which Seller is not obligated to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant
to Article IX, Seller shall consult with Purchaser before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Claim and shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Claim without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (d) Tax Claims Relating to Other Pre-Closing Taxes. Seller shall have the
right (at Seller’s expense) upon written notification to Purchaser within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of any Tax Claim made against Seller or its Affiliates or notice of any Tax


  
 57 








 
Claim made against Purchaser or its Affiliates, to control the conduct of all proceedings and make all decisions relating to any Tax Claim (other than those described in
Section 7.03(c)) relating to a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, that solely to the extent the resolution of such Tax Claim reasonably would be expected to increase the Tax liability of Purchaser or
any of its Affiliates (including a Company) for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date or reasonably would be expected to result in a Tax or Loss to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including a Company) for which Seller is not obligated
to indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Article IX, (i) Seller shall consult with Purchaser before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Claim, (ii) Seller shall keep Purchaser informed regarding
the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Claim, (iii) Purchaser (at its own expense) shall be entitled to participate in any proceedings relating to such Tax Claim; provided, further, however, that if (A) Seller fails to
timely notify Purchaser of its desire to control the conduct of such proceedings, or (B) Seller declines to control the conduct of such proceedings, then (1) Seller shall not be entitled to control such Tax Claim and Purchaser (at
Seller’s expense) shall control such Tax Claim, (2) Purchaser shall keep Seller informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Claim, and (3) Seller (at its own expense) shall be entitled to participate in any
proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall compromise or settle any such Tax Claim without obtaining the other party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

(e) Tax Claims Relating to Straddle Periods. Purchaser shall have the right (at Purchaser’s expense) to control the conduct of all
proceedings and make all decisions relating to any Tax Claim (other than those described in Section 7.03(c)) relating to a Straddle Period, provided that (i) Purchaser shall keep Seller informed regarding the progress and
substantive aspects of any such Tax Claim, (ii) Purchaser shall consult with Seller before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Claim, (iii) Purchaser shall defend such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith as if it
were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax proceeding, (iv) Seller (at its own expense) shall be entitled to participate in any proceedings relating to any such Tax Claim, and (v) Purchaser shall not compromise or settle
any such Tax Claim without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

SECTION 7.04. Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably
cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and other Representatives to reasonably cooperate, in connection with preparing, executing and filing all Tax Returns pursuant to Section 7.02
and any Action relating to Taxes of the Companies (including Tax Claims). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information relating to Taxes of the Company or the
Business or otherwise reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at any proceedings relating
to Taxes of the Company or the Business. Purchaser and Seller shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the
statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, (ii) allow the other party and its
Representatives at times and dates mutually 

  
 58 








 
acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as such party may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal
business hours at such party’s expense, and (iii) give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, shall allow the requesting
party to take possession of such books and records at such other party’s own expense. 
 SECTION 7.05. Section 338(h)(10)
Election. 
 (a) Seller and Purchaser (and each of their applicable Affiliates) shall jointly and timely make and file irrevocable
elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and, if permissible, any comparable provisions of applicable state or local Tax Law (together, the “Section 338 Elections”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares
under this Agreement, including the deemed purchase and sale of the outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiaries resulting from the Section 338 Election with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares. No later than ten (10) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser for its review and comment draft IRS Forms 8023 for each of the Companies, including any schedules thereto, and any corresponding or similar forms required under applicable state and
local Law to make the Section 338 Elections (the “Section 338 Forms”). Seller shall incorporate any and all reasonable comments to the Section 338 Forms received from Purchaser in writing prior to the Closing. At the
Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the Section 338 Forms, duly executed by Seller (and its applicable Affiliates) for execution by Purchaser at Closing. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall execute and timely file such Section 338
Forms in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (b) The parties (and any applicable Affiliates) shall cooperate with each other to take all
actions necessary and appropriate (including filing such additional forms, Tax Returns, elections, schedules and other documents as may be required) to effect and preserve the Section 338 Elections in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any comparable provisions of state or local Tax Law) or any successor provisions. Seller and Purchaser agree that neither of them shall, or shall permit any of its Affiliates to, revoke the Section 338 Elections
following the filing of the Section 338 Forms without the prior written consent of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be. Seller and Purchaser (and their respective applicable Affiliates) shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the
Section 338 Elections and shall not take any action that could cause the Section 338 Elections to be invalid, or take any position contrary thereto unless required pursuant to a determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code
or any similar provision of state or local Tax Law. 
 (c) Purchaser will retain Bond & Pecaro, Inc. (the
“Appraiser”) to value each Company and the individual assets of the Business conducted by each Company (such valuation, the “Appraisal”), and the costs of obtaining the Appraisal shall be borne equally by Purchaser
and Seller. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with the Appraisal process, including responding to any reasonable requests for information from the Appraiser, and shall be entitled to receive, review and respond to draft reports prior to completion
of the Appraisal. Purchaser shall direct the Appraiser to consider in good faith any comments of Seller on any draft reports, provided the Appraiser shall retain the ultimate discretion and authority with respect to the Appraisal. Purchaser shall
deliver a copy of the Appraisal to Seller upon completion. Within ninety (90)

  
 59 








 
days following the later of Determination Date or the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule setting forth (i) a determination of the ADSP (as defined in the
applicable Regulations under Section 338 of the Code) for each Company, and (ii) an allocation of the ADSP of each Company among the assets of the Company, which shall be prepared in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and
the Regulations promulgated thereunder and based on the Appraisal (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”). Seller shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Proposed Allocation Schedule to provide written notice to
Purchaser of any good faith objection to any portion of the Proposed Allocation Schedule, which objection shall be set forth with reasonable detail in such notice. Unless Seller timely delivers notice of an objection to the Proposed Allocation
Schedule, Seller shall be deemed to accept and approve the Proposed Allocation Schedule, which shall thereafter be final and binding upon the parties. 

(d) Following receipt of any timely notice of any objection to the Proposed Allocation Schedule, the parties shall attempt in good faith to
resolve their disagreement and arrive at a mutually agreed allocation. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days following notice by Seller to Purchaser of an objection to the Proposed Allocation Schedule, then any
unresolved disputed matters shall be submitted to the Auditor for final determination in a manner consistent with Section 2.06(c). The Auditor’s resolution of the disputed matters shall be final and binding on the parties. 

(e) The Proposed Allocation Schedule as accepted (or deemed accepted) pursuant to Section 7.05(c) or as finally agreed and
determined pursuant to Section 7.05(d) shall become the “Final Allocation Schedule” and the parties shall file all Tax Returns (including but not limited to IRS Form 8883 and any similar forms required by applicable
state and local Law) consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule and shall not take any position contrary thereto in connection with any Action relating to Taxes; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Seller
or Purchaser (and their respective Affiliates) from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Final Allocation Schedule, and neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to
litigate before any court, any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging such allocation. If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 9.07, the Final Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted in a
consistent manner.

claim made in writing (specifying the nature of the claim and the underlying basis for which indemnification is sought) by the party seeking to be indemnified thereunder within the time period set forth in this Section 9.01 shall survive
until such claim is finally and fully resolved. 

  
 62 








 SECTION 9.02. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article
IX, following the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by

sustained or incurred by them (hereinafter, a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from, without duplication: (a) any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in this Agreement, which
shall be deemed made on the date hereof and the Closing Date (other than any representation or warranty that expressly relates to a specific date, which representation and warranty shall be made on the date so specified) (provided, however, that
Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 9.02(a) for any Tax imposed with respect to a Post-Closing Tax period on the basis of a breach of any representation or warranty contained in
Section 7.01 (Tax Representations) other than the representations and warranties contained in the second sentence of Section 7.01(e), Section 7.01(h), and Section 7.01(k)), (b) the breach of any covenant
or agreement contained in this Agreement requiring performance by Seller or any Company (prior to Closing), (c) Excluded Taxes, (d) an invalid or ineffective (for federal income Tax purposes and to the extent applicable for state or local
income Tax purposes) Section 338 Election solely to the extent Taxes are caused by, and would not have been incurred but for, a breach of any representation in Section 7.01 or a breach of any covenant of Seller or any Company (other
than covenants to be performed by a Company after the Closing unless performed at the direction and control of Seller, if and to the extent so exercised by the Seller) contained in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby,
(e) any Retained Assets, (f) any Liability, whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date, with respect to the operation of the Business or the Companies prior to the TBA Effective Date (whether such claim or Action is brought by a third
party or otherwise), other than to the extent any such Loss arises under any Contract (other than under any Contract for any prior sales of business units by any Company or any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of any Contract by
any Company prior to the TBA Effective Date), (g) any Third Party Claim to the extent of any punitive damages award where such Third Party Claim arises out of or results from the operation or conduct of the Business or the Companies prior to
the TBA Effective Date and any Environmental Liability, and (h) any Environmental Liability. 
 SECTION 9.03. Indemnification
by Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, following the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified

 63 








 SECTION 9.04. Limits on Indemnification. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(a), Section 9.02(f), Section 9.02(g), Section 9.02(h), or Section 9.03(a), as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses
which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party exceeds an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Basket Amount”), after which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable only for indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Basket Amount,
(ii) the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or resulting from the causes set forth in Section 9.02(a), Section 9.02(f) or Section 9.03(a)
shall be an amount equal to $25,000,000, and (iii) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Person under this Agreement or be liable to any Person under this Agreement under any theory of recovery whatsoever for Losses in the aggregate
exceeding the cash Purchase Price; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.04(a) shall not apply to (A) claims arising out of breaches of the Fundamental
Representations, (B) claims pursuant to Section 9.02(c), (C) claims pursuant to Sections 9.02(d) and 9.02(e), or (D) in the case of fraud by the other party in connection with entering into this Agreement or
consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, and the limitations set forth in clause (ii) shall not apply to claims pursuant to Section 9.02(g) and 9.02(h); provided, further, that the limitations set
forth in clause (iii) of this Section 9.04(a) shall not apply to claims pursuant to Section 9.02(c) in respect of clause (b) (to the extent such Excluded Taxes are Taxes of Seller or any its Affiliates (other than
the Companies) or any of their respective predecessors, successors or former Affiliates) and (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall have any Liability (including under this
Article IX) for, and Losses shall be deemed to exclude, (i) any punitive damages, and (ii) any consequential or special damages, loss of profits, diminution in value, or damages based on any multiplier of the earnings, income
or cash flow or any other premium or valuation methodology, except, (A) in the case of clause (ii), to the extent such damages or Losses are found to be (x) not based on any special circumstances of the party entitled to indemnification,
and (y) are the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable result of the event that gave rise thereto or the matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder, regardless of the form of Action through which such damages are sought, or
(B) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such Losses or damages are awarded and paid with respect to a Third Party Claim as to which a party is entitled to seek indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes arising or resulting from an invalid or ineffective (for federal income Tax purposes and to the extent applicable for state or local income Tax purposes) Section 338 Election solely to
the extent such Taxes are caused by, and would not have been incurred but for, a breach of any representation in Section 7.01 or a breach of any covenant of the Seller or the Companies (other than covenants to be performed by the
Companies after the Closing unless performed at the direction and control of the Seller, if and to the extent so exercised by the Seller) contained in this Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby shall be deemed direct damages and not
consequential, special, or punitive damages for purposes of indemnification pursuant to Section 9.02(d). 

  
 64 








 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations and
warranties of Seller, Parent and Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, including, but not limited to, any
investigations made (or not made) by any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s, as applicable, respective Representatives, or by reason of the fact that Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that
any such representation and warranty is or might be inaccurate or untrue. Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge that, regardless of any investigation made (or not made) by or on behalf of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, and regardless of the
results of any such investigation, Purchaser and Seller have entered into this Agreement in express reliance upon the representations and warranties of the other and the Company made herein. Seller and Purchaser further acknowledge that, in
connection with this Agreement, each has furnished to the other good and sufficient consideration in exchange for the representations and warranties made herein. 

(d) Except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.04 (No Conflict), Section 3.07
(Financial Information), Section 3.08 (Absence of Certain Changes), Section 3.13(a) (Employee Benefits Matters), Section 3.15(a)(iii) and (ix) (Material Contracts), Section 3.21 (Assets of the
Business), Section 3.22 (Related Party Transactions) Section 4.11 (SEC Filings; Financial Statements) and Section 4.13 (Absence of Certain Changes), for purposes of (i) determining whether there has been a
breach of any representation or warranty, and (ii) calculating Losses hereunder, any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser MAE” qualifier in any representation or warranty made by Seller,
Purchaser or Parent, as applicable, shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification for any Loss or Tax to the extent such Loss or Tax is
included in the Closing Net Working Capital Amount or the Final Retained Liabilities Amount or otherwise deducted from the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.02, or otherwise paid pursuant to the TBA. 

SECTION 9.05. Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims. 

(a) If an Indemnified Party reasonably expects to seek indemnification with respect to any claim asserted or threatened by an unaffiliated
third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), it shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of the Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”), which Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances with respect to such Third Party Claim, stating a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Loss, to the extent known or reasonably determinable; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole expense and through counsel of its
choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct the defense of a Third Party Claim
within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party, and such claim can reasonably be expected to be resolved by money damages 

  
 65 








 
alone without any injunctive or equitable relief that would be binding on the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages, then the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its sole cost and expense and to settle or compromise any such claim or consent to the entry of any judgment, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim and thereafter discovers facts as a result of which the Indemnifying Party, acting reasonably, determines that
such information is likely to mean that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third Party Claim, then (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall provide the Indemnified Party written notice of the same and
shall cooperate with the other party to transfer control back to the Indemnified Party, and shall cooperate in respect of the same, in order to ensure that such other party is not prejudiced in its defense; provided, further, that the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume control of such defense and to settle or compromise any such claim or consent to the entry of any judgment (provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise, consent to the entry
of a judgment with respect to or pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party consents in writing to such payment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or unless a
final judgment from which no appeal may be taken is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim) if the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to diligently defend such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be
entitled to settle, compromise or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment does not involve any injunctive or non-monetary equitable relief that would be binding on the Indemnified Party, and contains a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
verifies to the Indemnified Party in writing that such Indemnifying Party shall be solely responsible (with no reservation of rights) for the full amount of such settlement, compromise or judgment. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9.05 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it, at its sole cost and expense; provided,
further, that if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, based on the advice of counsel, it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel due to actual or potential conflicts of interest,
then in such event, the reasonable fees and expenses of one such separate counsel (in addition to one firm of local counsel reasonably required) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall each
render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim or proceeding, including as provided in Section 5.02(b). If the Indemnifying Party elects to direct
the defense of any such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise, consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to or pay, or permit to be paid, any part of such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party
consents in writing to such payment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the
Indemnified Party assumes the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.05 and proposes to settle such claims or 

  
 66 








 
proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.05, the Indemnified Party will have the
absolute right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing (the reasonable fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX), the defense, compromise
and settlement of any Third Party Claim if (A) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party that poses a reasonable likelihood of resulting in non-monetary relief that would materially
and adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party, (B) the Third Party Claim is a criminal or quasi criminal Action, (C) the amount of potential damages exceeds the indemnification available hereunder by an amount that exceeds the
amount that is available hereunder, after taking into account all other claims made or reasonably anticipated or (D) the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense within thirty (30) Business Days after receiving
notice of such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and it its own expense. 

(c) If an Indemnified Party reasonably expects to make a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party
Claim, it shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, a reasonable estimate of the amount of such claim (to the extent known
or reasonably determinable) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. 
 (d)
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.05 and Section 7.03 with respect to Tax Claims, Section 7.03 shall control. 

SECTION 9.06. Remedies. Except in the case of fraud by the other party in connection with entering into this Agreement or
consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent, Purchaser and Seller and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties
and Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that this provision shall not limit any remedies available to Seller in respect of a breach of
Section 5.04 or the right to specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to Section 11.16. 

SECTION 9.07. Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payments made by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX
shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. 

  
 67 








 SECTION 9.08. Additional Indemnification Provisions. 

(a) Any party that becomes aware of a Loss for which it seeks indemnification under this Article IX shall be required to use
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Loss, including taking any actions reasonably requested by an Indemnifying Party, and an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Loss to the extent such Loss is attributable to the Indemnified
Party’s failure to mitigate the Loss. 
 (b) In calculating the amount of any Loss for which indemnification is sought hereunder, the
proceeds actually received by any Indemnified Party under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person (including pursuant to any indemnity, contribution or similar proceeds recovered
by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification), net of any deductible or actual costs or expenses incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted from the amount
of such Losses (it being agreed that if any such amounts are recovered by the Indemnified Party subsequent to the Indemnifying Party’s making of an indemnification payment, such amount shall be promptly remitted to the Indemnifying Party to the
extent of the indemnification payment made). Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage and from such other Person alleged to have any responsibility for such Loss.
Upon making any payment to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party may have against any Person with respect
to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assign any such rights to the Indemnifying Party. 

ARTICLE X 
 TERMINATION, AMENDMENT
AND WAIVER 
 SECTION 10.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: 

(a) by either Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by the date that is no later than eighteen (18) months after the
date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.01(a) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any
obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date. 

(b) by either Purchaser or Seller in the event that any Law or Governmental Order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have become final and nonappealable or in the event that any Government Consent is denied by final, nonappealable action of the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that the party hereto
seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(b) shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Governmental Order and obtain such Government Consent; 

(c) by Seller if Purchaser or Parent shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement or the TBA which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, which breach cannot 

  
 68 








 
be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice by Seller to Purchaser specifying such breach, provided, however, that a failure by
Purchaser to pay the Purchase Price at Closing shall be a material breach not subject to cure and provided, further, that Seller is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement or the TBA; 
 (d) by Purchaser if Seller shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements contained in this Agreement or the TBA which would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written
notice by Purchaser to Seller specifying such breach; provided, that neither Purchaser nor Parent is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the TBA; 

(e) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser; or 

(f) by Purchaser prior to the TBA Effective Date if an event, effect, circumstance, change, occurrence, fact or development shall have
occurred, come into existence or become known that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 10.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.01, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no Liability on the part of either party hereto except as provided in the TBA and except that (i) Section 5.03 and Article XI shall survive such termination, and
(ii) nothing herein shall relieve either party from liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

 SECTION 11.03. Public Announcements. Neither party to this Agreement shall make, or cause to be
made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation, and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or

 SECTION 11.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is deemed by any court to be

 SECTION 11.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the TBA and the Confidentiality

the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 SECTION 11.06. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto
without the express written consent of the other parties (which consent may be granted or withheld in such parties’ sole discretion); provided, however, so long as Purchaser remains liable for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, Purchaser or Seller may assign its rights under this Agreement (including the right to acquire the title to and ownership of the Shares or to receive the Purchase Price, as applicable) to a wholly owned subsidiary without the consent of
the other party, provided that such assignment would not reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained

existing or pending litigation or administrative proceedings, or any internal investigations relating to circumstances that could result in either of the foregoing, for which the parties shall cooperate in good faith to share attorney-client
privilege, upon and after the Closing, (i) Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client and any other applicable legal privilege with respect to the engagement of Existing Counsel, and none
of the Companies shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Existing Counsel constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Companies) shall hold such property rights, and (iii) Existing
Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Existing Counsel and any of the Companies or otherwise.

 GUARANTEE 

Entercom Communications Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Parent” or “Purchaser Guarantor”), hereby
executes this Guarantee, which shall be deemed a part of the preceding Stock Purchase Agreement among The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Seller”), Parent and Entercom Radio, LLC (“Purchaser”), dated as of
December 7, 2014 (the “Agreement”), attached hereto, for purposes of making the following guarantee in favor, and for the benefit, of the Seller. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed
thereto in the Agreement. 
 Purchaser Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably, and unconditionally, guarantees to Seller and the other
Seller Indemnitees the prompt and complete performance of each and all of (a) Purchaser’s obligations under the Agreement and the TBA, including, without limitation, all of Purchaser’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price to Seller
and all amounts due to Seller under the TBA, and all of Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under Article IX of the Agreement, and (b) the Denver Programmer’s obligations under the Denver TBA, including, without limitation, all of
the Denver Programmer’s obligations to pay amounts due to Seller under the TBA, in each case as and when the performance of the same shall become due (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”). Upon failure by Purchaser to
perform punctually any Guarantee Obligation, Purchaser Guarantor shall forthwith without demand perform such obligation in the manner specified herein. The obligations of Purchaser Guarantor hereunder shall be an unconditional and absolute guarantee
of payment and performance and not of collectability only. 
 Purchaser Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee Obligations set forth
herein shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced, or affected by any renewal, extension, adjustment, or modification of the Guarantee Obligations, including the time, place or manner of payment thereof, and Purchaser Guarantor consents to
any extensions of time of the Guarantee Obligations, to any changes in the terms of the Guarantee Obligations as agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, and to any settlement or adjustment with respect to the Guarantee Obligations entered into between
Seller and Purchaser. Purchaser Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights or defenses which would otherwise require an election of remedies by Seller, and further waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for payment, default, dishonor and
protest, notice of any Guarantee Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind (other than those expressly required by the Agreement, the TBA or the Denver TBA), all defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay,
moratorium, or similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Purchaser or any other Person, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than fraud and defenses that are available to Parent or Purchaser
under the Agreement, the TBA or Denver TBA to performance of the Guarantee Obligations). Purchaser Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to exercise any rights that it may have or acquire against Purchaser that arise from the existence, payment,
performance, or enforcement of the Guarantee Obligations (other than any such rights that Parent or Purchaser has against Seller under the Agreement, the TBA the Denver TBA), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Seller against Purchaser, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from Purchaser, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any 







 
other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Guarantee Obligations shall have been performed in full (including, with respect to any payment
obligations, all such amounts due having been paid to Seller in cash in full). If any amount shall be paid to Purchaser Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the performance in full of the Guarantee
Obligations (including the payment to Seller in cash in full of all amounts due), such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of Seller, shall be segregated from other property and funds of Purchaser Guarantor and shall forthwith
be paid or delivered to Seller in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guarantee Obligations. Purchaser Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial benefits from
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the TBA and the Denver TBA, and this Guarantee, including the waivers set forth herein, is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantee Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to
have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance on this Guarantee. 
 No delays on the part of Seller in the exercise of any right or
remedy with respect to any of the Guarantee Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Seller of any right or remedy with respect to any of the Guarantee Obligations shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Seller shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guarantee Obligations in the event that Parent or Purchaser becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding, and the failure of Seller to so file shall not affect the Guarantee Obligations hereunder. Purchaser Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guarantee Obligations shall have been performed
in full. If at any time any performance of any Guarantee Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon Purchaser’s insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, Purchaser Guarantor’s obligations hereunder
with respect to such performance shall be reinstated as though such performance had been due but not made at such time. If acceleration of the time for performance of any Guarantee Obligation is stayed upon Purchaser’s insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization, all such Guarantee Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Agreement, the TBA or the Denver TBA shall nonetheless by performed by Purchaser Guarantor hereunder forthwith. Purchaser Guarantor acknowledges
and agrees that the Guarantee Obligations set forth herein shall not be released, discharged or affected by any change in corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent or Purchaser or any other Person, any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving Parent or Purchaser, the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guarantee Obligations, any rescission, waver or amendment of the Agreement or the
TBA, the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that Purchaser Guarantor may have against any Person, the adequacy of any other means of Seller obtaining payment or performance related to any of the Guarantee Obligations, the validity or
enforceability of the Agreement or the TBA or any provision of applicable Law purporting to prohibit the performance by Purchaser Guarantor of any of the Guarantee Obligations, any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or
indirect security or co-obligor for any of Purchaser’s obligations under the Agreement, the TBA or the Denver TBA, or any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by Seller, Purchaser or any other Person or any other circumstance which
might, but for the provisions hereof, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to Purchaser Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (other than to the extent such act, omission, delay or circumstance gives rise to a defense available
to Parent or Purchaser under the Agreement, the TBA or the Denver TBA to performance of the Guarantee Obligations). 







 Purchaser Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guarantee is a primary obligation of
Purchaser Guarantor, and that Seller shall be entitled to make a demand hereunder, and pursue all of its rights and remedies against it, whether or not Seller has made any demand or pursued any remedies, or during the pendency of any demand made
hereunder or remedies pursued, against Purchaser or any other Person. Purchaser Guarantor further agrees that this Guarantee shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Purchaser Guarantor and its successors and assigns. Purchaser Guarantor
represents and warrants to Seller that it has the financial capacity to pay and perform the Guarantee Obligations and has all requisite power and authority to make, execute and deliver this Guarantee and that this Guarantee constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Purchaser Guarantor, enforceable against Purchaser Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. 

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on Purchaser Guarantor, its successors and assigns, until all the
Guarantee Obligations have been performed in full. 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Purchaser Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be executed and delivered as
of the date first written above by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

Section 4. Dividends. 

(a) Lincoln shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company out of funds
legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends (“Dividends”) on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at the Dividend Rate multiplied by the Liquidation Preference, as determined on the Dividend Payment Date with respect to
such Dividend, divided by four. The Dividend amount payable for any period other than a full Dividend Period shall be appropriately prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. To the extent that the
Company does not, with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, pay the Dividend for a particular Dividend Period in cash in full on the applicable Dividend Payment Date, the amount of such Dividend not


  
 6 








 
paid, whether or not declared, shall be added to the Liquidation Preference of such shares in accordance with the definition thereof and shall compound on each subsequent Dividend Payment Date at
the applicable Dividend Rate (i.e., Dividends shall accrue on such unpaid Dividends until paid in full). The Company shall not (and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to), directly or indirectly, declare or pay dividends or distributions with
respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire any of, its Common Stock or other Junior Securities or Qualifying Future Parity Stock (other than, in the case of Common Stock, a stock split, spin-off, the declaration or payment of a stock dividend or a
deemed repurchase relating to tax withholding in connection with vesting of equity compensation) unless all Dividends payable pursuant to this Section 4(a) on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including for the last completed
Dividend Period, have been declared and paid in cash in full and all amounts required to be paid by the Company to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8, if applicable, have been paid to Lincoln in cash in full;
provided that the Company shall be able to declare or pay dividends with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire any of, its Common Stock or other Junior Securities or Qualifying Future Parity Stock upon payment in cash in full (including
all accumulated Dividends as of the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date) of all such Dividends and amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4(a) and Section 8, if applicable. 

(b) Dividends shall accrue from the Date of First Issuance, whether or not the Company has funds legally available therefor or such Dividends
are declared. Each Dividend shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue upon any liquidation, redemption, repurchase or conversion of such shares pursuant to the
terms hereof. 
 (c) The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any cash dividends that may from time to time be
paid on the Common Stock. 
 Section 5. Liquidation. 

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company’s affairs, Lincoln shall be entitled to
receive liquidating distributions, out of assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities, in the amount per
share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued but unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference and (ii) if such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up occurs after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the cash value (at the Current Market Price) Lincoln would have received upon such event if Lincoln had converted its shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 immediately prior to such event. After payment in full of such liquidating distributions, Lincoln shall not be entitled to participate in any further
distributions of the remaining assets of the Company as a holder of Series A Preferred Stock. 
 (b) In the event that the assets of the
Company available for distribution to shareholders upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock and Qualifying Future Parity Stock, Lincoln 

  
 7 








 
and the holders of such shares of Qualifying Future Parity Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to
which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. 
 (c) For the purposes of this Section 5, a Fundamental Change (in and of
itself) shall be deemed not to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company subject to this Section 5 (it being understood that an actual liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company in connection with a
Fundamental Change will be subject to this Section 5). 
 Section 6. Maturity. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be
perpetual unless redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. 

Section 7. Redemption. 

(a) Redemption at the Option of the Company. 

(i) On and after the Date of First Issuance and to but not including the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First
Issuance, and on and after the six (6) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the Company, at its option, may redeem (out of funds legally available therefor) all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in
aggregate increments of $2,500,000 at a purchase price per share in cash equal to the sum, determined as of (but excluding) the Redemption Date, of the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have
not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference, (the “Redemption Price”); provided, that in the event the Redemption Price for all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is less than $2,500,000, the Company
may redeem such lesser aggregate amount. On and after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance and to but not including the six (6) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the Company shall not redeem all or any
portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 
 (ii) If the Company elects to redeem all or any portion of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(a)(i), the “Redemption Date” shall be the date on which the Company elects to consummate such redemption. The Company shall deliver to Lincoln a
written notice of such redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than: (A) if the Redemption Date occurs prior to but not including the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, five (5) Business
Days prior to the Redemption Date, or (B) if the Redemption Date occurs on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. The Redemption Notice must
state the following: the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and that Dividends, if any, on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Redemption Date, provided
that the Redemption Price shall have been paid in full on the Redemption Date. 

  
 8 








 (b) Mechanics of Redemption. 

(i) Upon the Redemption Date, the Company shall pay the Redemption Price to Lincoln by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. The Company shall remain liable for the payment of the Redemption Price to the extent such amounts are not paid as provided herein. 

(ii) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date will, on and after such date, no longer be deemed
to be outstanding and all powers, designations, preferences and other rights of such shares (except the right to receive from the Company the Redemption Price) shall cease and terminate; provided that in the event that any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to or fails to pay the Redemption Price in cash in full on the Redemption Date, such shares will remain outstanding and will be
entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights (including but not limited to the accrual and payment of Dividends) as provided herein. 

(iii) Any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 (any “Redemption”)
shall be payable out of cash legally available therefor. The Company shall not be permitted to effect a Redemption if the Company has insufficient funds to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be so redeemed upon the Redemption. 

Section 8. Fundamental Change. 

(a) Repurchase at Lincoln’s Option. 

(i) In connection with any Fundamental Change, Lincoln shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to, or to
cause the Survivor of a Fundamental Change (such Survivor of a Fundamental Change, the “Acquirer”) to, purchase each and every share of Series A Preferred Stock held by Lincoln, but not less than each and every share (the
“Fundamental Change Offer”), at a purchase price per share in cash, determined as of (but excluding) the Fundamental Change Effective Date, equal to: (A) if the Fundamental Change occurs prior to but not including the three
(3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the sum of the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously been added to the Liquidation Preference; or (B) if the
Fundamental Change occurs on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, the greater of (x) the Liquidation Preference, plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not previously
been added to the Liquidation Preference and (y) the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock that Lincoln would have received if it had converted each and every share of its Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A
Common Stock pursuant to Section 9 immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date (as applicable, the “Fundamental Change Price”). 

  
 9 








 (ii) On or before 30 days prior to any Fundamental Change Effective Date, or in
the event the Company is not aware of such Fundamental Change at least 30 days prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date, as soon as otherwise practicable, the Company shall deliver to Lincoln a written notice of such Fundamental Change (the
“Fundamental Change Notice”). Such Fundamental Change Notice must state: (A) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date notice is mailed); (B) that the
Fundamental Change Offer may be accepted by delivery, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, of a written revocable notice specifying that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be
repurchased; (C) the Fundamental Change Price, specifying the individual components thereof; (D) that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not tendered for payment shall continue to be outstanding and Lincoln shall remain entitled to,
among other things, the payment of Dividends thereon and the ability to exercise their conversion rights thereto and the Conversion Price following such Fundamental Change; and (E) the circumstances and material facts regarding such Fundamental
Change. 
 (b) Mechanics of Repurchase. 

(i) On the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall pay to Lincoln the Fundamental Change Price in respect of each
share of Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased as specified in Lincoln’s notice delivered pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company shall remain liable for the payment of the
Fundamental Change Price to the extent such amounts are not paid as provided herein. 
 (ii) On and after the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all powers, designations, preferences and other rights of Lincoln as a holder of
such shares (except the right to receive from the Company the Fundamental Change Price) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided, that in the event that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not repurchased due to a
default in payment by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to or fails to pay the Fundamental Change Price in full on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such shares will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the
powers, designations, preferences and other rights (including but not limited to the payment of Dividends and the conversion rights) as provided herein. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, Lincoln shall retain the right, through to the
Close of Business three (3) days prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, to withdraw an election to have its shares of Series A Preferred Stock repurchased or any tender of such shares in the Fundamental Change Offer; provided, however,
that where it exercises such right, the shares pertaining thereto shall not be repurchased pursuant to this Section 8. 

(iv) The Company shall not be required to make a Fundamental Change Offer if an Affiliate in control of the Company makes a
Fundamental Change Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 8 and purchases all shares of Series A Preferred Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
Fundamental Change Offer. 

  
 10 








 (v) The Company will not enter into any agreement providing for or otherwise
authorize, and the Company shall not have the corporate power to effect, a Fundamental Change unless the Acquirer agrees in writing to cause the Company to make the repurchases contemplated in and to otherwise comply in all respects with this
Section 8 and agrees, for the benefit of Lincoln (including making it an express beneficiary of such agreement), that to the extent the Company is not legally able to repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock, the Acquirer or an Affiliate
of the Acquirer will purchase the Series A Preferred Stock on the terms set forth in this Section 8. 
 (vi) Any
repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8 shall be payable out of any cash legally available therefor, and if there is not a sufficient amount of cash available, then the Company shall or shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, to the extent necessary, sell remaining assets of the Company or of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, legally available therefor for cash and shall use the proceeds therefrom to fund the repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 8. To the extent that the Company has insufficient funds, after the sale of assets contemplated by the preceding sentence, to repurchase all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 8, the Company shall repurchase as many of such shares as it has cash legally available therefor and shall thereafter from time to time, as soon as it shall have cash (including upon the future sale of assets by the Company or by
its Subsidiaries as contemplated by the preceding sentence) legally available therefor, make payment of as much of the remaining amount as it legally may until it has made such payment in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, such partial
payments shall not reduce or waive the rights of Lincoln hereunder. 
 Section 9. Optional Conversion. 

(a) Conversion at the Option of Lincoln. 

(i) At any time on or after the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First Issuance, Lincoln shall have the right, at
its option, to convert each and every share of its Series A Preferred Stock, but not less than each and every share, as set forth in this Section 9. Upon such an election, on the Conversion Date, Lincoln’s shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall convert into, at the option of the Company, either (A) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference plus all accrued and unpaid Dividends, whether or not declared, that have not
previously been added to the Liquidation Preference divided by the then applicable Conversion Price, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share as determined in accordance with Section 12 hereof, or (B) the cash value of such shares
of Class A Common Stock at the Current Market Price as of the Conversion Date. 
 (ii) Prior to the delivery of any
shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of


  
 11 








 
such shares with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority and (B) to the extent that the Class A Common Stock is traded on a United States
national or regional securities exchange, list such shares on such exchange. 
 (b) Mechanics of Optional Conversion. 

(i) For Lincoln to convert its Series A Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 9,
it must deliver written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company that it elects to do so. The date of actual receipt of the Conversion Notice by the Company shall be the “Conversion Date.” 

(ii) Within three (3) Trading Days of receiving a Conversion Notice, the Company shall send a confirmation of receipt of
such notice to Lincoln. On or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Company of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue and deliver to Lincoln, at the
option of the Company, either: (A) a certificate, registered in the name of Lincoln or its designee, for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which Lincoln shall be entitled, as well as any cash owed in lieu of fractional shares
to Lincoln as determined in accordance with Section 12 hereof, or (B) the cash value of such Class A Common Stock at the Current Market Price as of the Conversion Date. 

(iii) Effective immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, Dividends shall no longer be declared or
accrued on the converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, subject to the right of Lincoln to receive any payments to which it is otherwise entitled pursuant to
Section 9 or Section 12 hereof, as applicable. 
 (iv) Prior to the Conversion Date, shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and Lincoln shall have no rights with respect to the Class A Common Stock (including voting rights,
rights to respond to tender offers for the Class A Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Class A Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
conversion) by virtue of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 
 (v) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock duly converted
in accordance with this Section 9, or otherwise reacquired by the Company, will resume the status of authorized and unissued preferred stock, undesignated as to series and, subject to any consent or vote required pursuant to
Section 11 hereof, available for future issuance. The Company may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the
Company shall not take any such action if it would reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock below the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. 

  
 12 








 Section 10. Anti-Dilution Adjustments. 

(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments: 

(i) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company pays dividends or other distributions on the Class A Common
Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock, which are otherwise provided for in
Section 10(a)(iv)), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution by the following
fraction: 
  

	
	    OS0    
	    OS1    

 Where, 

OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. 
 OS1 = the sum of the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution. 

The adjustment pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective at 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the Ex-Date for such dividend or
distribution. For the purposes of this clause (i), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company. 

(ii) Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of the Class A Common Stock. If the Company subdivides, splits or
combines the shares of Class A Common Stock, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision,
split or combination by the following fraction: 
  

	
	    OS0    
	    OS1    

 Where, 

OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination. 
 OS1 = the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination. 

  
 13 








 The adjustment pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective at 9:00 a.m., New York
City time on the effective date of such subdivision, split or combination. For the purposes of this clause (ii), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company. 

(iii) Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights. If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the shares of
Class A Common Stock rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan, shareholder rights plan, share purchase plan or other similar plans) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Class A Common Stock (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock, which are otherwise provided for in Section 10(a)(iv)) at
less than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business
on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such issuance by the following fraction: 
  

	
	    OS0 + Y    
	    OS0 + X    

 Where, 

OS0 = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Ex-Date for such distribution. 
 X = the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or
warrants. 
 Y = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants
divided by the Current Market Price on such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. 

Any adjustment pursuant to this clause (iii) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Date for
such issuance. For the purposes of this clause (iii), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury by the Company. The Company shall not issue any such rights or warrants in
respect of shares of the Class A Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to
such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price that 

  
 14 








 
would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
actually delivered. In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if
other than cash, to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors). 
 (iv) Debt or Asset
Distributions. If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of shares of Class A Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, securities (including securities convertible into or exchangeable for,
directly or indirectly, Class A Common Stock), cash or other assets, including any dividend or distribution in excess of $1 million in the aggregate for all shares of Common Stock (on a per annum basis) (excluding (A) any dividend or
distribution referred to in clause (i) above, (B) any rights or warrants referred to in clause (iii) above, (C) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash for an amount that is not in excess of $1 million in the
aggregate for all shares of Common Stock (on a per annum basis), (D) any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries referred to in clause (v) below, and (E) any
dividend of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit in the case of certain spin-off transactions as described below in this clause (iv)), then the Conversion
Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution by the following fraction: 

 

	
	    SP0 - FMV    
	SP0

 Where, 

SP0 = the Current Market Price per share of Class A Common Stock on such date.

 FMV = the cash (in the case of cash dividends or distributions giving rise to an adjustment, the amount of such cash dividends or
distributions in excess of $1 million, in the aggregate) or fair market value of the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock on such date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP0” as set forth above, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors, the Company shall be prohibited from making such dividend or distribution. 
 In a “spin-off’, where the Company makes a
distribution to all or substantially all holders of shares of Class A Common Stock consisting of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity 

  
 15 








 
interests of, or relating to, a Subsidiary or other business unit, the Conversion Price will be adjusted on the 15th Trading Day after the effective date of the distribution by multiplying such
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such 15th Trading Day by the following fraction: 
  

	
	        MP0        
	    MP0 + MPs    

 Where, 

MP0 = the volume-weighted average of the Closing Prices of the Class A Common
Stock over the first 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day following the effective date of such distribution. 

MPS = the volume-weighted average of the Closing Prices of the Capital Stock or equity
interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock over the first 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day following the effective date of such distribution, or, if
not traded on a national or regional securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock on
such date as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 
 Any adjustment pursuant to this clause (iv) (other than
with respect to spin-off transactions as described above, which shall become effective as described therein) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Date for such distribution. 

(v) Self-Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries successfully completes a tender or
exchange offer for the Class A Common Stock where the cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the Close of Business on the expiration date of the offer by the following fraction:

  

	
	        OS0 x
SP0        
	    AC + (SP0 x OS1)    


  
 16 








 Where, 

SP0 = the Closing Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer. 
 OS0 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn. 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration
of the tender or exchange offer. 
 AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in the tender or
exchange offer, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors with respect to such other consideration. 
 Any adjustment
made pursuant to this clause (v) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer. In the
event that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from
effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. 

(vi) Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Class A Common
Stock on the Conversion Date, upon conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Lincoln will receive, in addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to the Conversion Date, the
rights have separated from the shares of Class A Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had made a distribution to all holders of the Class A Common Stock as described
in clause (iv) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. 

(vii) Issuances Below the Current Market Price. If, prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Date of First
Issuance the Company issues or sells, or agrees to issue or sell, to any of its Affiliates, excluding equity compensation, any Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Class A Common
Stock) for consideration per share (in the case of convertible or exchangeable securities, on an as-converted basis) less than the Current Market Price, then, unless the Company shall offer Lincoln the right to participate in such sale or issuance
at the same price and otherwise on the same terms as such Affiliate 

  
 17 








 
on a pro rata basis (measured assuming the conversion by Lincoln of each share of Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect, whether or not the Series A Preferred Stock is
then convertible), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance will be reduced, effective immediately after such issuance, to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance by the following fraction: 
  

	
	    OS0 + (AC/SP)    
	    OS1    

 Where, 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance. 
 AC = the aggregate consideration paid or payable for such shares of Class A Common Stock or convertible securities. 

SP = the Current Market Price. 

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance
(including, in the case of convertible or exchangeable securities, on an as-converted basis 
 (b) The Company may make such decreases in
the Conversion Price, in addition to any other decreases required by this Section 10, as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Class A Common Stock resulting from any dividend
or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason. 

(c) All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10th of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall
be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided further
that effective on the Conversion Date in the case of conversion pursuant to Section 9 hereof, adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which has not been taken into account
before such date. If one or more events occurs requiring an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price during the same time period, adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be made to reflect the combined impact of all Conversion Price
adjustment events during such period. 
 (d) Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 10(a) or
Section 10(b), the Company shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), taking into account the $0.01 threshold set forth in Section 10(c) hereof;
(ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), taking into


  
 18 








 
account the $0.01 threshold set forth in Section 10(c) hereof, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to Lincoln of the occurrence of such event; and (iii) as soon as
practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) hereof, provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to Lincoln setting forth in reasonable
detail the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion Price and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each and every share of Series A
Preferred Stock at such revised Conversion Price. 
 (e) The Company will not take any action of the type described in
Section 10(a) with respect to any other class of Capital Stock of the Company, including Class B Common Stock, unless such action is taken on a pro rata basis with respect to each share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing
prohibition, if any such action is taken with respect to shares of any class of Common Stock, including Class B Common Stock, but is not taken on a pro rata basis with respect to each share of Class A Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made
to the Conversion Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 10 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results to Lincoln. 

Section 11. Voting Rights. Lincoln shall not have any voting rights, including the right to elect any directors, except for voting
rights, if any, required by law and as set forth in this Section 11. If at any time following the Date of First Issuance any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of Lincoln: 
 (a) Amend, alter, waive or repeal any provision of its Charter, bylaws or the terms of any series of preferred stock,
including these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, in any manner that adversely affects the rights, powers, privileges or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock, or issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including debt or other securities that are convertible into Series A Preferred Stock by their terms; 

(b) Amend, alter, waive or repeal any provision of its Charter, bylaws or the terms of any preferred stock, including these Terms of Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of Capital Stock of the Company ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends
or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (“Senior Stock”), or issue, or reclassify into, any Senior Stock, including debt or other securities that are convertible into Senior Stock
by their terms; 
 (c) Consummate a Reorganization Event, unless such Reorganization Event complies with Section 15 hereof; or

 (d) Authorize, commit or agree to take any of the actions set forth in Sections 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c). 

  
 19 








 Section 12. Fractional Shares. 

(a) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued as a result of the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In
lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of a conversion pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of
the Conversion Price. 
 (b) If more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time, the number of
full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered. 

Section 13. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 9 hereof, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Class A
Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. 

Section 14. Certificates and Book-Entry. No certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued. Instead,
Lincoln and the Company shall maintain records showing (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Lincoln, (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been redeemed, repurchased or converted in
accordance with these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and (iii) the date(s) of such redemption(s), repurchase(s) and/or conversion(s). 

Section 15. Reorganization Events. The Company shall not effect any Reorganization Event unless (i) the surviving Person in
such Reorganization Event, if other than the Company, is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and following such Reorganization Event the Series A Preferred
Stock remains outstanding or, in the event such surviving Person is not the Company, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving Person, in each case having such
rights, powers, privileges, and preferences that are not less favorable to Lincoln than the rights, powers, privileges, and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (and that otherwise comply with
these Terms of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock) and (ii) the Company gives Lincoln at least 30 days’ written notice prior to consummating such Reorganization Event, including the terms of such Reorganization Event, and the
surviving Person in such Reorganization Event (if other than the Company) expressly assumes by written instrument delivered to Lincoln the obligations of the Company set forth herein.

 2.2. Shelf Registration and Takedowns. 

(i) A Holder may request that the Company prepare and file with the Commission, and the Company shall, within thirty (30) days following
such request, prepare and file with the Commission, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form or other appropriate registration statement that may be available at such time, which, if the Company is a “well-known
seasoned issuer” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), shall be an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement,” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) for the purpose of registering under the
Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) the offer and sale of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set
forth in the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration”). The Shelf Registration Statement shall indicate that the Registrable Securities are to be offered and sold on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act. 
 (ii) If the Shelf Registration Statement is not automatically effective upon filing, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event not later than ninety (90) days following the date of the
Holder’s request. 
 (iii) If prior to the Shelf Registration Termination Date, the number of Registrable Securities at any time
exceeds the number of securities then registered for sale in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file as soon as practicable an additional Shelf Registration Statement covering the offer and sale by the Holders of not less than the
number of such Registrable Securities. 
 (iv) The Holders shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when there is an effective
Shelf Registration Statement, to sell such Registrable Securities as are then registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement in an underwritten offering if, based on the then-current market prices, the number of Registrable Securities
included in such underwritten offering would yield gross proceeds of at least $10 million (each, a “Shelf Takedown”), but only upon not less than twenty (20) days prior written notice (which shall include the number of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Holders) to the Company; provided, that the Holders shall only be entitled to a maximum of two (2) Shelf Takedowns under this Agreement and one (1) Shelf Takedown in any twelve
(12)-month period. The Selling Holders shall give the Company prompt written notice of the consummation of a Shelf Takedown.
 (v) If
the Underwriters’ Representative or Agent shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Selling Holder) that, in its opinion, the amount of 

  
 -5- 








 
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Shelf Takedown would materially adversely affect such offering, then the Company will include in such Shelf Registration, to the extent of
the amount and class which the Company is so advised can be sold without such material adverse effect on such offering, (A) first, all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by such Holder; (B) second, all securities proposed to
be sold by the Company for its own account; (C) third, all securities required to be registered pursuant to the exercise of registration rights held by other Persons, pro rata based on the amount of such securities then proposed to be sold by
such Persons and allocated in accordance with the priorities then existing among such Persons.

are to be sold in a Shelf Takedown, the Company shall have the right to select the underwriters or Agent for each Shelf Takedown, subject to the reasonable approval of the Holders. 

Section 3. Registration Procedures. Whenever required under Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities, the Company shall take each of the actions set forth in this Section 3, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable. 

3.1. In the case of any Piggyback Registration, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect
to such Registrable Securities and use the Company’s reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective. With respect to either a Piggyback Registration or Shelf Registration, before filing a registration statement
or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of the registration statement and prior to effectiveness thereof, the Company shall furnish to one (1) firm of
counsel for the Selling Holders and, in the case of an underwritten or agented offering, one (1) firm of counsel for the underwriters or Agent, copies of all such documents in the form substantially as proposed to be filed with the Commission
at least four (4) business days prior to filing for review and comment by such counsel. 
 3.2. With respect to either a Piggyback
Registration or Shelf Registration, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and rules thereunder with respect to the disposition of all of the securities covered by such registration statement. If the registration is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall amend the
applicable registration statement or supplement the prospectus whenever required by the terms of the applicable underwriting agreement. Subject to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, if the registration statement is a Shelf Registration Statement,
the Company shall amend the registration statement or supplement the prospectus so that it will remain current and in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act for three (3) years after its effective date, provided, that in
the case of the Shelf Registration, the Company shall be required to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such time as there are no Registrable Securities
remaining (the “Shelf Registration Termination Date”), and if during such period any event or development occurs as a result of which the registration statement or prospectus contains a misstatement of a material fact


  
 -6- 








 
or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Company shall promptly notify each Selling Holder, amend the
registration statement or supplement the prospectus so that each will thereafter comply with the Securities Act and furnish to each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities such amended or supplemented prospectus, which each such Holder shall
thereafter use in the Transfer of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. Pending such amendment or supplement (and following written notice of the need therefor) each such Holder shall cease making offers or Transfers of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the prior prospectus. In the event that any Registrable Securities included in a registration statement subject to, or required by, this Agreement remain unsold at the end of the period during which the Company is
obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, the Company may file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the purpose of removing such Registrable Securities from
registered status. 
 3.3. The Company shall furnish to each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, such numbers of
copies of the registration statement, any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto, the prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, in each case in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules thereunder, and such other related documents as any such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder. 

3.4. The Company shall use the Company’s reasonable best efforts (i) to register and qualify the securities covered by such
registration statement under all applicable securities or blue sky laws of such states or jurisdictions as may be necessary to enable the Holders to offer and sell the Registrable Securities or as shall be reasonably requested by the
Underwriters’ Representative or Agent, and (ii) to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of the
offer and transfer of any of the Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business
or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions in which it is not already so qualified or subject to service. 

3.5. In the event of any underwritten or agented offering, the Company (and any other Person who wishes to include securities in such
registration statement) shall enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or agency agreement (including indemnification and contribution obligations of underwriters or agents), in usual and customary form (including containing
customary covenants, representations and warranties, including provision for delivery of customary legal and disclosure opinions, auditor’s comfort letters and closing documents), with the managing underwriter or underwriters of or agents for
such offering along with such other customary documents and agreements as such underwriters or agents may request. Whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into, the Company shall make such representations and warranties to the Selling
Holders in form, substance and scope as are customarily made in connection with an offering of common stock or other equity securities pursuant to any appropriate agreement. The Company and any other Person who wishes to include securities in any
Shelf Registration shall agree to sell its securities at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Holders. 

  
 -7- 








 3.6. The Company shall promptly notify each Selling Holder of any comments by the Commission or
any other governmental authority with respect to the registration statement or any requests for supplements or amendments thereto, or any stop order issued or threatened to be issued by the Commission in connection therewith, and shall take all
reasonable actions required to respond as promptly as practicable to any such comment or request and to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered, and shall promptly notify the Selling Holders when such action has been taken
and such order has been removed. 
 3.7. The Company shall make generally available to the Holders, the underwriters or agents (if
applicable) and their respective counsel copies of all of the periodic reports, proxy statements, and other information filed with the Commission or referred to in Section 9.1. 

3.8. The Company shall make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any underwriter or agent participating in such offering and the
representatives of such Selling Holder and underwriters or agents (but not more than one firm of counsel to such Selling Holder), all financial and other information as shall be reasonably requested by them, and provide such Selling Holder, any
underwriter or agent participating in such offering and the representatives of such Selling Holder and underwriters or agents the opportunity to discuss the business affairs of the Company with its principal executives and independent public
accountants who have certified the audited financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case as reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which the Company advises such Person in writing is confidential shall not be disclosed unless such Person signs a customary confidentiality
agreement. If requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters or agents in any underwritten or agented offering, the Company shall cause management to participate in a reasonable number of presentations of management and road shows. 

3.9. The Company shall provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement. 
 3.10. The Company shall
use all reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement (i) if the Common Stock is then listed on a securities exchange or included for quotation in a recognized trading market, to continue to
be so listed or included for a reasonable period of time after the offering, and (ii) to be registered with or approved by such other United States or state governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and
operations of the Company to enable the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

  
 -8- 








 3.11. The Company shall use the Company’s reasonable best efforts to provide a CUSIP number
for the Registrable Securities prior to the effective date of the first registration statement including Registrable Securities. 
 3.12.
The Company shall take such other actions as are reasonably requested in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities included in each such registration. 

Section 4. Holders’ Obligations. In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities, each Selling Holder shall:

 4.1. furnish to the Company such information regarding such Selling Holder, the number of the Registrable Securities owned by it and the
intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities, and to cooperate with the Company in preparing such registration; and 

4.2. in the case of a Piggyback Registration, agree to sell its Registrable Securities to the underwriters at the same price and on the same
terms and conditions as the Company or the other Persons on whose behalf the registration statement was being filed have agreed to sell their securities, and to enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or agency agreement, in
usual and customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters of or agents for such offering, provided, that the Selling Holders shall not be required to make any representation or warranty or agree to any covenant that is more
extensive or burdensome than those made by any other Person that is registering securities. 
 Section 5. Expenses of
Registration. Expenses in connection with registrations pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated and paid as follows: 
 5.1. The
Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing, or qualification of Registrable Securities for each Selling Holder (which right may be Transferred to any Person to whom Registrable Securities are
Transferred as permitted by Section 7), including all registration, filing and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. fees, all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, all word processing, duplicating and

 Section 6. Indemnification; Contribution. If any Registrable Securities are included
in a registration statement under this Agreement: 
 6.1. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Selling Holder, each underwriter or Agent in any underwritten or agented offering, each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder, underwriter or Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each officer, director,
partner and employee, of such Selling Holder, underwriter, Agent and such controlling Persons, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (joint or several), including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and expenses of
investigation, incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state
laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “Violation”): 

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or prospectus, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus” as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, or any amendments or supplements thereto; or 

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such registration statement or prospectus, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus or “issuer free writing prospectus”, or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required or allegedly required to be stated therein, or necessary or allegedly necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 provided, however, that the indemnification required by this
Section 6.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense solely to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon (x) a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the indemnified party for use in connection with such registration, or (y) the failure of any person entitled to indemnification hereunder to deliver or make available to a
purchaser of Registrable Securities (to the extent required by law), a copy of any registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required
by applicable law to be delivered or made available), provided, that the Company shall have timely delivered to the applicable Selling Holder such registration statement, including such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein and any amendments or supplements thereto. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers, directors, agents and
employees and each person who controls such persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Selling Holders.


  
 -10- 








 6.2. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Selling Holder shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who shall have signed the registration statement, each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter or Agent in any underwritten or
agented offering and each Person who controls such underwriter or Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each officer, director, partner and employee of such underwriter or Agent or such controlling Person, against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (joint and several), including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and expenses of investigation, incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or
to which any of the foregoing Persons may otherwise become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any
Violation, in each case solely to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Selling Holder or its Representatives or controlling persons expressly for use in connection with
such registration; provided, however, that (x) the indemnification required by this Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense if settlement is
effected without the consent of the relevant Selling Holder of Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) in no event shall the amount of any indemnity under this
Section 6.2 exceed the gross proceeds from the applicable offering received by such Selling Holder. 
 6.3. Promptly after
receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may make a claim under this
Section 6, such indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly given notice, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain
separate counsel in any such action, claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, provided, that the indemnified party shall be responsible for its own fees and disbursements and expenses unless representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding (in which
case the indemnifying party shall pay such fees and disbursements and expenses of the indemnified party and shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party). The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time following the commencement of any such action, if and only to the extent prejudicial to the indemnifying party, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 6 to the extent of such prejudice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party will have the absolute right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing (with the fees and
disbursements and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party) the defense, compromise and settlement of any such action, claim or proceeding if the indemnifying party does not elect to assume control of the defense within thirty (30) days
after receiving notice thereof; provided, that the indemnifying party shall be permitted to participate in the defense thereof with its own counsel and at its own expense. No 

  
 -11- 








 
indemnifying party shall be liable to an indemnified party for any settlement of any action, proceeding or claim without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall consent to any settlement of any action, proceeding or claim without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, that does not include the giving to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such action, proceeding or claim or that requires an admission of wrongdoing by any indemnified party.

 6.4. If the indemnification required by this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party
hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Section 6: 
 (i) The
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, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any Violation has been committed by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Violation. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 

(ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4 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 Section 6.4(i). No Person that is 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. 

6.5. If indemnification is available under this Section 6, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the
full extent provided in this Section 6 without regard to the relative fault of such indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration referred to in Section 6.4. 

6.6. The obligations of the Company and the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities under this Section 6 shall survive the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. 

Section 7. Transfer of Registration Rights. All rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Agreement may be Transferred by such Holder to any other Person in connection with the Transfer of Registrable Securities to such Person, in all 

  
 -12- 








 
cases, if and only if (x) any such Transferee that is not a party to this Agreement shall have executed and delivered to the Secretary of the Company a properly completed agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and (y) the Transferor shall have delivered to the Secretary of the Company, no later than fifteen (15) days following the date of the Transfer, written notification of such Transfer setting
forth the name of the Transferor, name and address of the Transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities that shall have been so Transferred. 

Section 8. Holdback. Each Holder entitled pursuant to this Agreement to have Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback
Registration statement prepared pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and each of the Company and any other Person who requests the inclusion of securities in any Shelf Registration, if so requested by the Underwriters’
Representative or Agent in connection with an offering of any Registrable Securities, shall not effect any public sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except as part of such underwritten or agented registration), during the fifteen (15)-day period prior to, and up to ninety (90)-day period beginning on (but in any event not
longer than the period applicable to the Company’s directors and executive officers who are required by the Underwriters’ Representative or Agent to be subject to similar restrictions), the date such registration statement is declared
effective under the Securities Act by the Commission; provided, that such Holder is timely notified of such effective date in writing by the Company or such Underwriters’ Representative or Agent. In order to enforce the foregoing
covenant, the Company shall be entitled to impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities until the end of such period. 

Section 9. Covenants. 

9.1. The Company shall file as and when applicable, on a timely basis, all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. If the
Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make publicly available the information specified in subparagraph (c)(2) of Rule 144 of the Securities
Act, and take such further action as may be reasonably required from time to time and as may be within the reasonable control of the Company, to enable the Holders to Transfer Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 

9.2. The Company shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Holders, to postpone (but not more than once in any fiscal year) for a
reasonable period not in excess of ninety (90) calendar days, the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Piggyback Registration statement or a Shelf Registration Statement if the Company delivers to the Selling Holders a
certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company certifying that in the good faith judgment of such officer such registration, offering or use would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect or to materially interfere with
any material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require the disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public, the premature
disclosure of which would materially and adversely affect the Company. 

  
 -13- 








 
No postponement or suspension shall apply during any period in which the directors and executive officers of the Company are not also generally prohibited from selling shares of Common Stock
(other any sales made pursuant to 10b5-1 plans then in existence). The Holders shall maintain in confidence the existence and content of such notice or certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.2, no such
suspension notice may be given from the time of the first bona fide offer of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration hereunder as long as a prospectus is required to be delivered in respect of such offer under the Securities
Act. 
 9.3. The Company has not granted, and shall not grant, to any Person any registration rights that are inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement. 
 Section 10. Amendment, Modification and Waivers; Further Assurances. 

(i) This Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Company and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform
any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent of the Investor to such amendment, action or omission to act. 

(ii) No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any
other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall
be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is
claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. 
 (iii) Each of the parties hereto
shall execute all such further instruments and documents and take all such further action as any other party hereto may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 11. Assignment; Benefit. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, assigns, executors, administrators or successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated by the Company or Investor
without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that Investor may assign all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of Investor in connection with the Transfer of all of its shares of
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms thereof. A Holder may Transfer its rights hereunder to a successor in interest to the Registrable Securities owned by such assignor as permitted by Section 7.

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in New York as described herein for any reason, (b) that it
or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of

 -15- 








 
prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, other than the Purchase Agreement, the TBA (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement) and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). 
 12.5. Injunctive Relief. The

 12.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed and delivered (including by email or facsimile transmission) in one (1) or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
taken together shall constitute one (1) and the same agreement. 
 12.8. Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is deemed by any court to be violative of law or public policy and therefore invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in
an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

with the corporate recorder of the Company. 
 12.10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by a written

sale of any such shares in an offering registered pursuant to this Agreement. 
 12.11. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or
proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees (including any fees incurred in any

 -16- 








 12.12. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.
