executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment
and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(l) Compliance. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in
default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice
of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default
or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without
limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business and all such laws that affect the environment, except as disclosed herein and except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 (m) Regulatory Permits. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, (i) the Company and the
Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the
failure to possess such permits would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and (ii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit. 
 (n) Title to Assets. The Company and
the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is
material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens which do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties or for taxes that are being contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings, and except for Liens which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.

connection with the business currently operated by them that are necessary for use in the conduct of their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to so have would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or
infringes upon the rights of any Person, except for such as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company or any Subsidiaries. 

(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility
against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage. To the Company’s
knowledge, such insurance contracts are accurate and complete. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost, except for such renewals or failures to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for services as employees, officers and directors) that is

(s) Certain Fees. Other than to Rodman, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by
the Company to any broker, financial advisor or 

  
 14 

 
consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, other than as specifically set forth in
the Prospectus Supplement. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(s) that may be due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 
 (t) Investment Company. The
Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. 

(u) Registration Rights. No Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration pursuant to the
Securities Act of any securities of the Company, which rights will interfere with the transactions contemplated hereunder. 
 (v) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to
its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is currently contemplating terminating such registration.
Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in
compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all
such listing and maintenance requirements. 
 (w) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its
Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (other than with respect to that certain Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of
December 28, 2009, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company as Rights Agent) (including any distribution under a rights agreement), or other similar anti-takeover provision pursuant to the
Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their
rights pursuant to the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities. 

(x) Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes or might constitute
material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers

will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the
transactions contemplated hereby furnished by or on behalf of the Company and at its direction with respect to the representations and warranties made herein are true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has
made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. 

(y) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth
in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company in a manner that would require shareholder approval pursuant to the rules of any Trading Market on which any of the
securities of the Company are listed or designated. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of any Trading Market. 

(z) Indebtedness. The SEC Reports set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness disclosed to the Purchasers except for any such default
that would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (aa) Tax Status.
Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company and each Subsidiary have filed (or requested valid
extensions thereof) all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of
all unpaid and unreported taxes) and have paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary. 

(bb) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person
acting on behalf of the Company, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment
to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its

 (dd) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length
purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect
to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby
is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the
independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives. 
 (ee)
Acknowledgement Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Section 3.2(e) of this Agreement, which shall control), it is understood and
acknowledged by the Company (i) that none of the Purchasers have been asked to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based
on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term, (ii) that past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, including Short Sales, and specifically including, without limitation, Short
Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) that any Purchaser, and counter-parties in
“derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv) that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation
with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (A) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the
period that the Securities are outstanding, and (B) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing shareholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after

  
 17 

 
the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

 (ff) Regulation M Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its
behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold,
bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company, other than,
in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to Rodman in connection with the placement of the Securities. 
 (gg) Shell Company Status. The Company is not, and has never been, an issuer identified in Rule 144(i)(1) of the Securities Act. 

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and
warrants as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the date first above written in this Agreement to the Company as follows: 
 (a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or
partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and
when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable
principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law. 

(b) No Intent to Take Over. Such Purchaser has no present actual intent to seek to effect, or to assist others in
effecting, a hostile acquisition of the Company. 
 (c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was
offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants for cash it will be an institutional “accredited investor” as defined under Regulation D under the Securities Act and/or
meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a)(1) under the Securities Act, and is not an entity formed for the sole purpose of acquiring the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to be
registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. 

  
 18 

 (d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or
together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the
merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser has had access to such information as it deemed necessary in order to conduct any due diligence it has determined it wants to do in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities and its
decision to participate in such purchase and sale. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser understands that
nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it must rely on legal, tax and
investment advisors of its own choosing in connection with its purchase of the Securities. 
 (e) Short Sales
and Confidentiality Prior to the Date Hereof. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such
Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first learned of the specific purchase and sale transaction being effected pursuant
to this Agreement and ending immediately prior to the execution and delivery hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply
with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and to its counsel, such Purchaser has
maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the transaction expressly contemplated by this Agreement (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar
transactions in the future. 
 (f) No Government Review. Such Purchaser understands that no U.S. federal
or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities purchased hereunder. 
 (g) Beneficial Ownership. Immediately prior to executing this Agreement, the Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, does not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock or other voting securities
of the Company. Immediately following such Purchaser’s purchase of Securities hereunder, such Purchaser, together with its Affiliates, will not beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Common Stock. For purposes hereof, beneficial ownership and
all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in 

  
 19 

 
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 ARTICLE IV. 
 OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES 

4.1 Warrant Shares. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to
cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof the
Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the
Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares. The Company
shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants. 

4.2 Furnishing of Information. Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants
have expired, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the
Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination other than in connection with a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which all of the capital stock of the
Company is acquired by an unaffiliated and unrelated Person. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act other than in connection with a Fundamental Transaction in which the
Company is not the surviving entity or in which all of the capital stock of the Company is acquired by an unaffiliated and unrelated Person, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c)(1)
of the Securities Act such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably
request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration pursuant to the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Company
represents and warrants that it is in material compliance with all of the requirements (including, without limitation, the reporting, submission and posting requirements) of Rule 144(c)(1) of the Securities Act and Rule 405 of Regulation S-T, each
as in effect and amended as of the date hereof. 
 4.3 Integration. After this transaction, the Company shall not sell,
offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities such that the rules of the Trading
Market would require shareholder approval of this transaction prior to the 

  
 20 

 
closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction. 

4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall (a) issue a press release disclosing the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof (the “Press Release”), and (b) by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date hereof, file a Current Report
on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. From and after the issuance of the Press Release, no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material,
non-public information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors or employees that is not disclosed in the Press Release. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing
any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and, except as may be required by law, neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the
prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except
if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the
name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or any Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law
in connection with the Prospectus Supplement or the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or any Trading Market regulations, in
which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii). 

4.5 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public
information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the terms of any such written agreement), to the extent
the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to
trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. 

4.6 Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the proceeds from the offering as described in the Prospectus Supplement. 

4.7 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold
each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent 

  
 21 

 
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such
title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid
in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of
such Purchaser or any governmental or regulatory agency, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a material breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or
covenants of the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such shareholder or any material violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which
constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify
the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in
writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material
issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any
Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent
that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

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

4.9 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the
Common Stock on a Trading Market, and the Company shall list all of the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares on each of The NASDAQ Capital Market and the Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (MTA International) no later than the Closing Date. The Company
further agrees that if the Company applies to have the Common 

  
 22 

 
Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of
the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market, other
than in connection with a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which all of the capital stock of the Company is acquired by an unaffiliated and unrelated Person, and will comply
in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such Trading Market. 
 4.10 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same
consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for
the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Securities or otherwise. 

4.11 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release to be issued simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof as described in Section 4.4 of this Agreement, (ii) no
Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced pursuant to such initial press release as described in Section 4.4 of this Agreement and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of such
press initial release as described in Section 4.4 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with
respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall be construed as limiting the Company’s ability to negotiate and/or
otherwise prepare to consummate a transaction following the expiration of the restricted period so long as such transaction is not publicly announced prior to the expiration of the restricted period. The provisions of this Section 4.13
shall not apply to (A) the Securities to be issued and sold hereunder or issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Securities, (B) issuances of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Rodman Warrants, (C) issuances of shares

any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. 
 5.6
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

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

 5.10 Survival. The representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Preferred Stock and Warrants and for a period of one year thereafter. 
 5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a
“.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature
page were an original thereof. 
 5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable. 
 5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its
related obligations within 

  
 26 

 
the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in
whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights. 
 5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any
certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity or bond, if requested. The applicant for a new
certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. 

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of
damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

5.16 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing
contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its
rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate
with the Company through WS. WS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents Rodman. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because
it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. 
 5.17 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s
obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing pursuant to the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been
paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled. 

  
 27 

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

If JBI enters into, amends or terminates a Client Agreement with a Smurfit-Stone Client that has been introduced to MT by Smurfit-Stone, JBI shall provide a copy of such Client Agreement, the amendment thereto or the termination thereof to Smurfit-Stone promptly after execution of the same.

Third Party Gross Revenue excludes invoiced post-production line items like transportation, taxes, and other charges that are not fuel revenue.
