	2.	Piggyback Registration Rights 

 (a) Participation. If the Company proposes
to file, whether for its own account or for the account of the Holders, any registration statement in connection with the sale of shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”) in a Qualified PO (a “Piggyback Registration
Statement”), then the Company shall give written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) to each Holder regarding such proposed registration, and such notice shall offer such Holders a reasonable opportunity to

  
 4 

 
include in such Piggyback Registration Statement, prior to the effectiveness of such Piggyback Registration Statement, such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request,
subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. Each Piggyback Notice shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be registered, an indication of the expected timing of the Qualified PO, the proposed means of distribution
and the proposed Managing Underwriters (if any and if known) and shall be accompanied by a Notice and Questionnaire. Each such Holder (a “Participating Holder”) shall make such request in writing to the Company within ten
(10) days after the receipt of any such Piggyback Notice, which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder (which may be expressed as a percentage of the Registrable Securities such
Holder will possess on the Conversion Date upon the conversion of such Holder’s Notes into Conversion Shares in accordance with and pursuant to the Indenture) (such number of shares, the “Participation Amount”) and shall be
accompanied by a fully completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Piggyback Registration Statement all such
Registrable Securities held by such Holders; provided, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register Common Stock and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such Common Stock, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination within five Business Days thereof to each Holder of Registrable Securities and,
thereupon, shall not be obligated to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but shall nevertheless pay the registration expenses set forth in Section 5 in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to
the rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities that a registration be effected under Section 3 hereof; provided further, that, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to be sold in the
Qualified PO by each Participating Holder shall not exceed 36% (the “Participation Limit”) of the total number of Conversion Shares held by such Participating Holder. 

(b) Cut Back. If in connection with an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2, the Managing Underwriter shall advise the
Company that, in its reasonable opinion, the number of securities requested and otherwise proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without an adverse effect on the price, timing or
distribution of the Common Stock to be offered (an “Adverse Effect”), then in the case of any such Piggyback Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration Statement
the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter advises the Company can be sold without having such Adverse Effect. 
  

	3.	Resale Registration 

 (a) Initial Resale Registration. Following the
consummation of a Qualified PO, the Company shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities (the “Initial Resale Registration
Statement”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Initial Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date. The Initial Resale Registration
Statement shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by 

  
 5 

 
Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more Underwritten Offerings). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the
Initial Resale Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until there are no Registrable Securities outstanding (the “Effectiveness Period”) or a Subsequent Resale Registration Statement covering all of
the Registrable Securities covered by and not sold under the Initial Resale Registration Statement or an earlier Subsequent Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act. 

(b) Subsequent Resale Registrations. If the Initial Resale Registration Statement or any Subsequent Resale Registration Statement (as
defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Resale Registration Statement in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, or file an additional “shelf” Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities (a “Subsequent Resale Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Resale
Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Subsequent Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Resale
Registration Statement continuously effective for the remainder of the Effectiveness Period. As used herein the term “Resale Registration Statement” means the Initial Resale Registration Statement and any Subsequent Resale
Registration Statements. 
 (c) Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly supplement and amend any Resale Registration
Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Resale Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act. 

 

	4.	Registration Procedures 

 In connection with the filing of any Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Company shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of such securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in
connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall: 
 (a) If (1) a Resale Registration
Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Underwriter, before filing any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto the Company shall, if requested, furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement, the
Managing Underwriter, if any, and each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be
filed (in each case at least 5 Business Days prior to such filing). The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the
inclusion therein without 

  
 6 

 
the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such documentation if the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or any Managing
Underwriter, if any, or one counsel selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (“Holders’ Counsel”) shall reasonably object in writing within three
(3) Business Days of receipt of such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements. 
 (b) Use its reasonable
best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective amendments to each Resale Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness
Period, cause any Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as supplemented. 

(c) Furnish to such selling Holders and Managing Underwriters who so request in writing (i) such reasonable number of copies of such
Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including any documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits), (ii) such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration
Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus as filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in conformity with
the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and supplement thereto, and (iii) such other documents (including any amendments required to be filed pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), as any such Person may reasonably request in
writing. Subject to Section 3(q) hereof, the Company hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus in accordance with applicable law by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each Underwriter, as the case may be, and the
underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law covered by, or the sale by the Underwriters pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto. 
 (d) If (1) a Resale Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Underwriter, the Company shall notify in writing the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and
the Managing Underwriter, if any, and each of their respective counsel promptly (but in any event within two Business Days) (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or
post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if, between the applicable effective date of a Resale Registration Statement and the closing
of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company 

  
 7 

 
contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all
material respects, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities for offer or sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition of any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in, or amendments or supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) of any reasonable determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto. 

(e) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any
order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible date. 
 (f) If (A) a Resale Registration Statement
is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, (B) a Prospectus contained in an Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Underwriter or
(C) reasonably requested in writing by the Managing Underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering or Holders’ Counsel,
(i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information or revisions to information therein relating to such Underwriters or selling Holders as the Managing Underwriters, if any, or such Holders or
Holders’ Counsel reasonably request in writing to be included or made therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has
received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplements or post-effective amendment; provided that the Company shall not have any obligation to incorporate any information or revisions if the Company expects
that so doing would cause such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or fail to comply with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (g) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities or any delivery of a
Prospectus by any Underwriter, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or the Managing Underwriters, as the case may be, and their respective counsel in connection
with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities, for offer and 

  
 8 

 
sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Underwriter or the Managing Underwriters, if any, reasonably request in
writing; provided, that where Registrable Securities are offered other than through an Underwritten Offering, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause its counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file any registrations
and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 4(g), keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and
all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided that the Company shall not be required to
(A) qualify to do business or as a broker or dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then
so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (h) Use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such U.S. governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the
underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder’s business, in which case the Company shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals; provided that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify to do business or as a broker or dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it
is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject. 
 (i) If (1) a Resale Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus
pertaining to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Underwriter, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause (v) or (vi) of
Section 4(d) hereof, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC, at the expense of the Company, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder or to the purchasers of the Registrable
Securities to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Underwriter, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC review is required, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible. 

(j) If a Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings of equity securities similar to the Conversion Shares, as may be appropriate in the circumstances) and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including
those reasonably requested in writing by the Managing Underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or Holders’ Counsel) in order to 

  
 9 

 
expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the
registration is an Underwritten Registration, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of Registrable Securities and the Underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as then
conducted, and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in
underwritten offerings of equity securities similar to the Common Stock, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and confirm the same if and when reasonably required; (ii) obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and updates thereof
(which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any), addressed to each selling Holder and each of the Managing Underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily
covered in opinions of counsel to the issuers requested in underwritten offerings of equity securities similar to the Common Stock, as may be appropriate in the circumstances; (iii) obtain “comfort” letters and updates thereof (which
letters and updates (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters) from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants
of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the Managing Underwriters, such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings of equity securities similar to the Common Stock, as may be appropriate in the
circumstances, and such other matters as reasonably requested in writing by the Managing Underwriters; and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold and the Managing Underwriters, if any, or Holders’ Counsel to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to
clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other similar agreement entered into by the Company. 

(k) If (1) a Resale Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Underwriter, make available for inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Securities being sold, or the Managing
Underwriters, if any, as the case may be, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holder or the Managing Underwriters, as the case may be (collectively, the “Inspectors”), electronically or at the
offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours and in a reasonable manner, all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall
be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested in writing by any
such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records confidential and not disclose any of the Records unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records is public
or has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a 

  
 10 

 
disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Inspector or (iv) disclosure of such information is, in the reasonable written opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable in
connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, related to, or involving this Agreement, or any transaction contemplated hereby or
arising hereunder. Each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities and each Managing Underwriter will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as
the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities and the Managing Underwriters will be required
to further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and, to the extent practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to allow the Company, at its
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential. 
 (l) Use its reasonable best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to the security holders of the Company with regard to any applicable Registration Statement earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year)
(i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to Underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering and (ii) if not sold to Underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the
first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods. 

(m) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement and the Managing Underwriters, if any,
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA. 

(n) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange, if any, on which similar equity securities issued by the Company are then listed. 
 (o) Use its reasonable best efforts to take
all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 

(p) The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company
such information regarding such seller and the Registrable Securities being offered by such seller or as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of
any seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected agrees, by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, to
furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously 

  
 11 

 
furnished by such seller not materially misleading. Subject to applicable law, the Company shall provide written notice to the Holders of the Registrable Securities, including a notice and
questionnaire substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (the “Notice and Questionnaire”) (it being understood and agreed that such form may be modified by the Company in its reasonable discretion to request additional
information reasonably necessary to the applicable offering or to omit information not known at the applicable time and no information not so known will be required of any such seller), of the anticipated effective date of any Resale Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof at least 30 days prior to such anticipated effective date. Each Holder, in order to be named in such Resale Registration Statement at the time of its initial effectiveness, will be required to
deliver a fully completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company within 20 days of receipt of notice. From and after the effective date of such Resale
Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, as promptly as is practicable after the date a fully completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within 30 days after such date (or five
Business Days after the expiration of any Deferral Period in effect when the fully completed and executed Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, if later), (i) if required by applicable law, to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to
such Resale Registration Statement or to prepare and, if permitted or required by applicable law, to file a supplement to the Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required
document so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in such Resale Registration Statement and any related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers
of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law (provided that the Company shall not be required to file more than one supplement or post-effective amendment in any calendar quarter in accordance with this Section 4(p))
and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to such Resale Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable;
(ii) provide such Holder, upon request, copies of any documents filed pursuant to this Section 4(p); and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective
amendment filed pursuant to this Section 4(p); provided that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the
actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 4(q) hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation
to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 4(p) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the effective date of the applicable Resale Registration Statement) shall be named as a selling securityholder in the such Resale Registration Statement or Prospectus in accordance
with the requirements of this Section 4(p). 
 (q) Upon the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development, public
filings with the SEC or any other material event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Resale Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including in connection with the filing of a
Specified Post-Effective Amendment), the Company shall give notice (without notice of the nature or details of such events) to the 

  
 12 

 
Notice Holders that the availability of the Resale Registration Statement is suspended and, upon receipt of any such notice, each Notice Holder agrees: (i) not to sell any Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement until such Notice Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in Section 4(d) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the
Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; and (ii) to hold such notice in confidence. Except in the case of a
suspension of the availability of the Resale Registration Statement and the Prospectus solely as the result of the filing of a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to add additional selling Holders therein or the filing of a
Specified Post-Effective Amendment, the period during which the availability of the Resale Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed 30 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in
any consecutive 12-month period. In the case of a suspension of the availability of the Resale Registration Statement and the Prospectus as a result of the filing of a Specified Post-Effective Amendment, the Deferral Period shall not exceed 20 days
or, if the Company receives written comments from the staff of the SEC on such Specified Post-Effective Amendment, 60 days. 
 (r) Each
Holder of Registrable Securities and each Underwriter agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (ii), (iv), (v) or
(vi) of Section 4(d) or Section 4(q) hereof, such Holder and such Underwriter will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement or pursuant to any Prospectus and, in each case,
forthwith discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until such Holder’s or Underwriter’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(d), or until it is advised in writing by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder or Underwriter, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company all copies,
other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s or Underwriter’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of the receipt of such notice. 

 

	5.	Registration Expenses 

 (a) All fees and expenses incident to the performance of
or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company, whether or not a Resale Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective, including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees, including,
without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings required to be made with FINRA in connection with any underwritten offering and (B) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws as provided in
Section 4(g) hereof (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for
investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as provided in Section 4(g), in the case of Registrable Securities to be sold by a Participating Underwriter), (ii) printing expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of printing
Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the Managing Underwriters, if any, included in any Registration Statement or by any Underwriter during the Effective Period, as the case may be (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their obligations hereunder, 

  
 13 

 
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and, only to the extent provided in Section 5(b), the Holders, (iv) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public
accountants referred to in Section 4 (including, without limitation, the expenses of any special audit and “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
listing of the Securities to be registered on any securities exchange, (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company desires such insurance, (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company, (viii) fees
and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” or other independent appraiser participating in an offering pursuant to Section 3 of Schedule E to the By-laws of FINRA, but only where the need for such a “qualified
independent underwriter” arises due to a relationship with the Company, (ix) internal expenses of the Company (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees of the Company performing legal or accounting
duties), (x) the expense of any annual audit, (xi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and (xii) the expenses relating to printing, word processing and distributing all Registration Statements, Prospectuses, underwriting agreements,
securities sales agreements, indentures and any other documents necessary in order to comply with this Agreement. 
 (b) The Company shall
reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one Holders’ Counsel. The Company shall reimburse the Holders for fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders) relating to any
enforcement of any rights of the Holders under this Agreement. 
  

	6.	Indemnification 

 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Underwriter, each Person, if any, who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and
the officers, directors and partners of each such Holder, Underwriter and controlling person, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees as provided in this Section 6) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of
the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are solely based upon information relating to such Holder or Underwriter and furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder or Underwriter or their counsel expressly for use therein. The Company also agrees to 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(a) of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders or Underwriters. 

  
 14 

 (b) Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus
or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company and in writing such information as the Company reasonably request for use in
connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and each Person, if any, who controls
the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers and partners of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against all Losses
arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such Losses are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable order to have resulted solely from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater
in amount than such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below). 
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If
any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought (the
“Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties,” as applicable) in writing; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party (i) will not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under paragraph
(a) or (b) above unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the
indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 
 The Indemnifying Party shall have the right,
exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding; provided,
that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to the Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person
(in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying  

  
 15 

 
Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being
understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party). 

No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth
above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such
judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in
respect of such proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in
this Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 6 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions
provided in this Section 6), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of
such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such
Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof was available to such party. 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), a selling Holder shall not be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder’s Maximum 

  
 16 

 
Contribution Amount. A selling Holder’s “Maximum Contribution Amount” shall equal the excess of (i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale
of such Registrable Securities over (ii) the aggregate amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to
this Section 6(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may
have to the Indemnified Parties. 
  

	7.	Rule 144 

 The Company covenants that, for so long as any Registrable Securities
remain outstanding, it will (a) file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon
the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 and (b) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably
request in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements. 
  

	8.	Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Securities 

 If any of the Registrable
Securities covered by any Resale Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers must be reasonably acceptable to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Underwriters in any Qualified PO will be selected by the Company in its sole discretion. 
 No Holder of Registrable Securities may
participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

 

	9.	Miscellaneous 

 (a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of
any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchasers, in the Purchase Agreement, or

  
 17 

 
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by the Company of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, the Company shall waive
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered, as of the date
hereof, and the Company shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights expressly granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof. 
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of the Company and the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Section 6 hereof and this Section 9(c) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without
the prior written consent of each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities
are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities being tendered or being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
 (d)
Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, next-day air courier or telecopier:

 Annex A 

FORM OF SELLING SECURITYHOLDER NOTICE AND QUESTIONNAIRE 

The undersigned beneficial holder of 8.0% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) of Energy &
Exploration Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) or common stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Notes, understands that the Company has filed or intends to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Piggyback Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the registration and resale under the Securities Act or a Resale Registration Statement for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of, in each case, the
Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 22, 2014, by and among the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). A copy of
the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement. 

Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Piggyback Registration Statement or a Resale Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities generally will be required to be named as a Selling Securityholder in the
related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions as described
below). 
 Any beneficial owner of Registrable Securities wishing to include its Registrable Securities must deliver to the Company a
properly completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire. If you do not complete this Notice and Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company within 15 days, in the case of a Piggyback Registration Statement, or within 20 days, in the case of a
Resale Registration Statement, of the date of delivery of this Notice and Questionnaire, you will not initially be named as a selling stockholder in the prospectus and therefore will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to
the Registration Statement, except, in the case of a Resale Registration Statement, if the applicable prospectus is updated to so name you as a selling stockholder pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Registration Rights
Agreement. Beneficial owners are encouraged to complete, execute and deliver this Notice and Questionnaire prior to the effectiveness of any Resale Registration Statement so that such beneficial owners may be named as Selling Securityholders in
the related prospectus at the time of effectiveness. 
 Certain legal consequences arise from being named as Selling Securityholders
in the applicable Piggyback Registration Statement or Resale Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities law counsel regarding
the consequences of being named or not being named as a Selling Securityholder in the applicable Piggyback Registration Statement or Resale Registration Statement and the related prospectus. 

  
 Annex A-1 

 Please note that, under the terms of the Indenture, you may not effect certain transactions
related to the Registrable Securities specified in the Indenture during the Lock-up Period (as defined in the Indenture). 
 Notice 

The undersigned beneficial owner (the “Selling Securityholder”) of Notes and/or Registrable Securities hereby gives notice to
the Company of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities beneficially owned (or to be owned) by it and listed below in Item 3 pursuant to the applicable Piggyback Registration Statement or Resale Registration
Statement. The undersigned, by signing and returning this Notice and Questionnaire, understands that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Notice and Questionnaire and the Registration Rights Agreement. 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the undersigned has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its
directors, officers and partners and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), from and against some losses arising in connection with statements concerning the undersigned made in the Registration Statement or the related prospectus in reliance upon the information provided in this Notice and Questionnaire.
The Selling Securityholder hereby acknowledges its indemnification obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

	2.	Plan of Distribution: 

 Except as set forth below, the undersigned (including its donees
or pledgees) intends to distribute the Registrable Securities listed above in Item 3 pursuant to the Piggyback Registration Statement or the Resale Registration Statement only as follows (if at all): in the case of a Piggback Registration
Statement, such Registrable Securities will be sold through the underwriters named therein in the manner contemplated thereby; and, in the case of a Resale Registration Statement, such Registrable Securities may be sold from time to time directly by
the undersigned or alternatively through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Registrable Securities are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the Selling Securityholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or
commissions or agent’s commissions. In the case of a Resale Registration Statement, such Registrable Securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices
determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Registrable
Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (ii) in the over-the-counter market, (iii) in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market or (iv) through the writing of options.
The Selling Securityholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Registrable Securities owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the
Registrable Securities from time to time pursuant to the prospectus. The Selling Securityholder also may transfer and donate shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the
selling Securityholder for purposes of the prospectus. 

  
 Annex A-6 

 State any exceptions here: 

Note: In no event may such method(s) of distribution take the form of an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities without the
prior agreement of the Company. 
 The Company hereby advises each selling securityholder of the publicly available Compliance and
Disclosure Interperation promulgated by the SEC regarding short selling: 
 “An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a
secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer
was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of
Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.” 
 By returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the
Selling Securityholder will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation. 
  

	3.	Securities Received From Named Selling Securityholder: 

 Did the Selling Securityholder
receive its Notes or Registrable Securities listed above in Item 3 as a transferee from selling securityholder(s) previously identified in the Resale Registration Statement? 

 ̈     Yes 

 ̈     No 

If so, please answer the following two questions in this section: 
  

	 	(i)	Did the Selling Securityholder receive such Notes or Registrable Securities listed above in Item 3 from the named selling securityholder(s) prior to the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement?

  ̈     Yes 

 ̈    No 

 

	 	(ii)	What is the name(s) of the selling securityholder(s) from whom the Selling Securityholder received the Notes or Registrable Securities listed above in Item 3 and on which date were such securities received?

  
 Annex A-7 

 The undersigned acknowledges that it understands its obligation to comply with the provisions of the Exchange Act
and the rules thereunder relating to stock manipulation, particularly Regulation M thereunder (or any successor rules or regulations), in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement. The

In accordance with the undersigned’s obligation under the Registration Rights Agreement to provide such information as may be required by law for
inclusion in the Piggyback Registration Statement or the Resale Registration Statement, the undersigned agrees to provide any additional information the Company may reasonably request and to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes

 Section 2. Demand Registration Rights 

(a) General. If the Company shall receive from any Holder(s) holding at least 20% of the then outstanding shares of Registrable Common
Stock, at any time after 180 days after the date of the completion of an Qualified PO, a written request that the Company file a registration statement with respect to any of such Holder’s shares of Registrable Common Stock (the sender(s) of
such request or any similar request pursuant to this Agreement shall be known as the “Initiating Holder(s)”), then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all
Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2, use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating
Holders), the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of all shares of Registrable Common Stock that the Holders request to be registered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Initiating Holders may
request that the Company register the sale of such Registrable Common Stock on an appropriate form, including a Shelf Registration Statement (so long as the Company is eligible to use Form S-3) and, if the Company is a WKSI, an Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement. The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration: 
 (i) after it has effected
five such registrations pursuant to this Section 2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; 
 (ii) within six
months after a registration pursuant to this Section 2 that has been declared or ordered effective; 

  
 -4- 

 (iii) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to its good faith estimate of the
date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration pursuant to which Holders would have piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 3 hereof, provided that the Company is
actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; 
 (iv) where the
anticipated aggregate offering price of all securities included in such offering is less than (A) $10,000,000, in the event such registration is effected through the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form under
the Securities Act), or (B) $5,000,000, in the event such registration is effected through the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or other form under the Securities Act other than Form S-1); or 

(v) if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment
of the board of directors of the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its equity holders for such registration statement to be filed at the time filing would be required and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of
such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holder(s), provided that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this
manner more than once in any twelve month period. 
 (b) Underwriting. In the event that the Initiating Holders elect to
conduct an underwritten offering of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2, the Company (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Registering Holders holding a majority of the shares
of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included in such registration and underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the underwriter advises the Registering Holders in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Registering Holders in proportion, as nearly as
practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Common Stock requested by such Registering Holders to be included in such registration and underwriting.  

If any Holder of Registrable Common Stock disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holder(s). If by the withdrawal of such Registrable Common Stock a greater number of shares of Registrable Common Stock held by other Holders may be included in such registration (up
to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Common Stock in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Common Stock in the same proportion
used in determining the shares that may be included pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 2(b). If the underwriter has not limited the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock to be underwritten, the Company may include securities
for its own account if the underwriter so agrees and if the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited. 

  
 -5- 

 Section 3. Piggyback Registrations 

(a) General. If, at any time or from time to time after the date of the completion of an Qualified PO, the Company shall
determine to register the offer and sale of any of its securities for its own account or the account of a stockholder or stockholders exercising their respective demand registration rights (other than a registration pursuant to Section 2 or a
registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable) in connection with an underwritten offering of its securities for cash on a form which would permit the
registration of Registrable Common Stock, the Company will: 
  

	 	(i)	promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement in connection with such offering) give to each Holder written notice thereof; and 

(ii) include in such registration and in the underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Common Stock specified in a written request or
requests, made within ten days after giving of such written notice by the Company, by any Holders (except that (A) if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a shorter time period and the Company so informs each Holder in the
applicable written notice, such written request or requests must be made within five days and (B) in the case of an “overnight” offering or a “bought deal,” such written request or requests must be made within one Business
Day), except as set forth in Section 3(b); provided, however, that the Company may withdraw any registration statement described in this Section 3 at any time before it becomes effective, or postpone or terminate the offering
of securities under such registration statement, without obligation or liability to any Holder. 
 (b) Underwriting. The right
of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Common Stock in the underwriting to the extent provided
herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Common Stock through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, in connection with a registration under Section 3(a), if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to
be underwritten, the Company shall so advise all Registering Holders whose securities would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock that may be included in the registration and
underwriting shall be allocated among all Registering Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Common Stock requested by such Registering Holders to be included in such registration and underwriting,
or, if so determined by the underwriter, all Registrable Common Stock shall be excluded from such registration and underwriting; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of securities of the Registering Holders included in the offering
be reduced unless the amount of securities of all other selling equity holders included in the offering are proportionately reduced. 

  
 -6- 

 If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. If, in connection with a registration under Section 3(a), by the withdrawal of such Registrable Common Stock a greater number of shares of Registrable Common Stock held by other
Holders may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Common Stock in the registration the right to include
additional shares of Registrable Common Stock in the same proportion used in determining the shares that may be included pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3(b). 

Section 4. Selection of Counsel; Registration Expenses 

(a) The Holders of a majority of the shares of Registrable Common Stock included in any registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof
shall have the right to designate legal counsel to represent all of the Holders in connection therewith. 
 (b) All Registration Expenses
incurred in connection with any registration, filing, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2 or 3 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities registered by the Holders shall be borne by the
holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so sold. 
 Section 5. Further Obligations 

(a) In connection with any registration of the offer and sale of shares of Registrable Common Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company will consult with the Registering Holders concerning the form of underwriting agreement (and shall provide to each Registering Holder the form of underwriting agreement prior to the Company’s execution thereof) in the
case of an underwritten offering and shall provide to each Registering Holder and its representatives such other documents (including correspondence with the Commission with respect to the registration statement and the related securities offering)
as such Registering Holder shall reasonably request in connection with its participation in such registration. The Company will furnish to each Registering Holder as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or
any supplement or amendment thereto or any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement (including any preliminary prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Prospectus”), upon request, copies of
reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such
Registering Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Registering Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Registering Holder with respect to
such information prior to filing such document. In the event that the Company prepares and files with the Commission a registration statement on any appropriate form under the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”) providing
for the sale of Registrable Common Stock held by any Registering Holder pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will: 

(i) prepare and file with the Commission such Registration Statement with 

  
 -7- 

 
respect to such Registrable Common Stock, which Registration Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial
statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and keep such Registration Statement effective until the Registering Holders have completed the
distribution described in such Registration Statement or until all shares of Registrable Common Stock covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Common Stock; 

(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to
keep such Registration Statement effective; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the participating Holder or Holders thereof set forth
in such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus; 
 (iii) promptly notify the Registering Holders and the managing
underwriters, if any, (A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of
any request by the Commission or any state securities commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities
commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of any of the Registrable Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (E) of the existence of any fact which results in a Registration Statement, a Prospectus
or any document incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

(iv) use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement; 

(v) if requested by the managing underwriters or a Registering Holder, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as the managing underwriters or the Registering Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Common Stock being sold by Registering Holders agree should be included therein relating to the sale of such Registrable Common
Stock, including without limitation information with respect to the amount of Registrable Common Stock being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the
underwritten (or best efforts underwritten) offering of the Registrable Common Stock to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 

  
 -8- 

 (vi) furnish to such Registering Holder and each managing underwriter at least one signed copy of
the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) (provided,
however, that any such document made available by the Company through EDGAR shall be deemed so furnished); 
 (vii) deliver to such
Registering Holders and the underwriters, if any, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as such persons or entities may reasonably
request; 
 (viii) prior to any public offering of Registrable Common Stock, register or qualify or cooperate with the Registering Holders,
the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Common Stock for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as
any Registering Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Common Stock covered by the applicable
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so required to be qualified or to take any action which would subject it to
general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
 (ix) cooperate with the Registering
Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Common Stock to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement and not bearing any restrictive legends, and
enable such Registrable Common Stock to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least one Business Day prior to any sale of Registrable Common Stock to the underwriters; 

(x) if any fact described in subparagraph (iii)(E) above exists, promptly prepare and file with the Commission a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Common Stock being sold thereunder, will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading; 
 (xi) cause all Registrable Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 
 (xii) provide a transfer agent and
registrar and a CUSIP number for all Registrable Common Stock included in such Registration Statement, not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement; 

(xiii) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form 

  
 -9- 

 
reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and take all such other reasonable actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Common Stock,
including customary participation of management; 
 (xiv) in the case of an underwritten offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts
to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Registering Holders and the underwriters a signed counterpart, addressed to the Registering Holders and the underwriters, of: (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the date of each closing
under the underwriting agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters; (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the date of the underwriting agreement and the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, signed by the
independent registered public accounting firm that has certified the Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus
included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, and such other
financial matters as the underwriters may reasonably request and customarily obtained by underwriters in underwritten offerings, provided that, to be an addressee of the comfort letter, the Registering Holders may be required to confirm that they
are in the category of persons to whom a comfort letter may be delivered in accordance with applicable accounting literature; and (iii) a “comfort” letter, dated the date of the underwriting agreement and the date of each closing
under the underwriting agreement, signed by the independent petroleum engineering firm that has evaluated the Company’s oil and gas reserves included in such Registration Statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of its evaluation of such oil and gas reserves, as are customarily covered in engineers’ letters delivered to underwriters in
underwritten public offerings of securities, and such other related matters as the underwriters may reasonably request and customarily obtained by underwriters in underwritten offerings; and 

(xv) make available for inspection by a representative of the Registering Holders whose Registrable Common Stock is being sold pursuant to
such Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Registering Holders or underwriter, all financial and other records and any pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company reasonably requested by such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any records, information or
documents that are reasonably determined by the Company to be, and are designated by the Company in writing as, confidential shall be kept confidential by such persons or entities unless disclosure of such records, information or documents is
required by court or administrative order. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the Company is a
WKSI, at the time any Registrable Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and the Initiating Holders so request, the Company shall file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement which covers those shares of Registrable Common
Stock which are requested to be registered within five Business Days after receipt of such request. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the shares of Registrable Common Stock at the 

  
 -10- 

 
time the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the shares of Registrable Common Stock are to be sold. If the Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three years, at the end of the third year the Company shall file a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the shares of Registrable Common Stock. If at any time when the Company
is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a new Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or amend the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to
a form that the Company is eligible to use) and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept effective. 

(c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of an event of the kind described in
Section 5(a)(iii)(B) through Section 5(a)(iii)(E), such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of shares of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement until such stop order is vacated or such
Holder receives a copy of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then
in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such shares of Registrable Common Stock at the time of receipt of such notice. 

Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or
have prepared on its behalf or use or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of the Registrable Common Stock, in each case without the prior
express written consent of the Company and, in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by, or any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of or otherwise used or referred to
by, the Company or the underwriters, as the case may be, is referred to herein as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted
Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act), including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. 

Section 6. Further Information Furnished by Holders 

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2 through 5 that the Holders shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Common Stock held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of the offer and sale of
their Registrable Common Stock. 

  
 -11- 

 Section 7. Indemnification 

In the event any shares of Registrable Common Stock are included in a registration statement under Section 2 or 3: 

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of the officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members, partners,
employees and agents of each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations
(collectively a “Violation”): any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto, or in any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus; the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or any violation or
alleged violation by the Company or any officer, director, employee, advisor or affiliate thereof of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, officer, director, manager, shareholder, member, partner, employee, agent or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any
such Holder. 
 (b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if shares of Registrable Common Stock held by such Person are included
in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act and any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and each of its officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents or any Person who controls such Holder, against any losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such other Holder, officer, director, manager, shareholder, member, partner, employee, agent or controlling Person may became subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration, and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or
any such underwriter, other Holder, officer, director, manager, shareholder, member, partner, employee, agent or controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied); and provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. 

  
 -12- 

 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing 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 noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnifying party has failed to
assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or if the indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that 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. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7 only to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.

 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the
other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by
such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage or
liability that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and in no event shall any contribution by a Holder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. 

  
 -13- 

 (e) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 7 shall survive
completion of any offering of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement, the expiration of any rights hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 8. Rule 144 Reporting 
 With
a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees, after the date of an Qualified PO, to: 
 (a) make and keep public
information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) at all times; 
 (b) file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and 
 (c) furnish to any Holder, forthwith upon
request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), (ii) a copy
of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company (provided, however, that any such report or document described in this subsection (ii) made available by the
Company through EDGAR shall be deemed so furnished), and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without
registration or pursuant to such form. 
 Section 9. Assignment of Rights 

For so long as this Agreement is in effect, the rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 or
3 may only be assigned to (i) a person referred to in clauses (a) - (e) of clause (2) of the definition of Permitted Transfer in the Stockholders Agreement or (ii) any other assignee that will hold 5% or more of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis following such assignment, without the prior consent of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, any assignment pursuant to this Section 9 shall be conditioned upon written notice to the
Company identifying the name and address of the assignee and any other material information as to the identity of such assignee as may be reasonably requested and to compliance with the Stockholders Agreement to the extent applicable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9 but subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and the Warrants, any Holder may elect to transfer all or a portion of its shares of Registrable Common Stock, Warrants
or shares of Preferred Stock to any third party (to the extent such transfer is otherwise permissible) without assigning its rights hereunder with respect thereto; provided, that in any such event all rights under this Agreement with respect to such
shares of Registrable Common Stock and the shares of Registrable Common Stock issuable upon the exercise and/or conversion of such Warrants or shares of Preferred Stock so transferred shall cease and terminate. 

  
 -14- 

 Section 10. Amendment of Registration Rights 

Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and
either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of 75% of the then outstanding Registrable Common Stock. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding
upon each Holder and the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment that materially and adversely affects the rights of any Holder shall be binding on such Holder without such Holder’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may, without the consent of any Holder, amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of adding as a Holder party to this Agreement, and granting to such person the registration rights provided hereunder, any person who acquires shares of
capital stock of the Company or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company prior to the consummation of an Qualified PO. 

Section 11. Expiration, Termination and Delay of Registration 

(a) A Holder’s registration rights hereunder shall expire at such time as all shares of Registrable Common Stock held by such Holder
cease to be Registrable Common Stock. 
 (b) The Company shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement at such time as no
shares of Registrable Common Stock are outstanding after their original issuance; provided, that the Company’s obligations under Sections 4, 7 and 14 (and any related definitions) shall remain in full force and effect following such
time. 
 (c) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the
result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement. 
 Section 12. Limitations on
Subsequent Registration Rights 
 From and after the date hereof, the Company may, without the prior written consent of the Holders,
enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which provides such holder or prospective holder of securities of the Company comparable, but not materially more favorable, registration rights to those
granted to the Holders hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without the consent of any Holder, enter into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes in the Convertible Notes Offering
providing for registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes consistent with the terms described in the Offering Memorandum for the Convertible Notes Offering dated July 10,
2014. 
 Section 13. “Market Stand-off” Agreement 

Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, to the extent requested by the Company and any underwriter of securities of the Company, sell or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Common Stock, except securities included in such registration, during a period, not to exceed 180 days, following the date of the final prospectus for a firm commitment underwritten offering of Common
Stock by the Company, and it will enter into agreements with the managing underwriters, if any, in connection with any such sale to give effect to the foregoing; provided, however, that all other Persons with registration rights
(whether or not 

  
 -15- 

 
pursuant to this Agreement) and all executive officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Registrable Common Stock of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. 

Section 14. Miscellaneous 

(a) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given and received when delivered by overnight courier or hand delivery, when sent by telecopy, or five days after mailing if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid, to the Parties at the
following addresses (or at such other address for any Party as shall be specified by like notices, provided that notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof). 

If to the Company, at: 

Energy & Exploration Partners, Inc. 

Attn: General Counsel 
 Two City
Place, Suite 1700 
 100 Throckmorton 

Fort Worth, Texas 76102 
 If to
any Holder of Registrable Common Stock, to such Person’s address as set forth on the records of the Company. 
 (b)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

(c) Headings. The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (d) Governing Law. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION. 
 (e) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or
invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby
stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable. 

  
 -16- 

 (f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to Registrable Common Stock. This Agreement supersedes all prior written or oral agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. 
 (g) Securities Held by the Company or its
Subsidiaries. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Common Stock is required hereunder, Registrable Common Stock held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether
such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
 (h) Termination. This Agreement shall
terminate when no shares of Registrable Common Stock remain outstanding; provided that Sections 4 and 7 and this Section 14 shall survive any termination hereof. 

(i) Specific Performance. The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the
Holders of any Registrable Common Stock for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach. 

(j) Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein
to the contrary, if the Convertible Notes Offering is not consummated under the Purchase Agreement for any reason by July 25, 2014 or the Convertible Notes Offering is terminated or abandoned prior to such date, then this Agreement shall be of
no force or effect, and the Original Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had not been entered into.
