collectively as the “Parties”): (i) Trans Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Trans Energy”), American Shale Development, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Trans Energy (“American
Shale”), Prima Oil Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Trans Energy (“Prima” and, collectively with Trans Energy and American Shale, the “TE Group”); (ii) Republic Energy

Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Production (“Merger Sub” and, collectively with EQT and Production, the “EQT Group”). 

WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, on April 4, 2007, Trans Energy and RP6 entered into that certain Farm-Out and Area of Joint Development Agreement (the
“Original AJDA”). 
 WHEREAS, on July 16, 2010, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “2010
PSA”), Trans Energy sold to REV a 50% interest in certain acreage in Marion and Tyler Counties, West Virginia. REV has since asserted that certain of the properties sold to it pursuant to the 2010 PSA have title defects resulting in a
diminution in value for which REV is entitled to compensation from Trans Energy. 
 WHEREAS, on March 31, 2011, Trans Energy entered
into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “2011 PSA”) with REV, pursuant to which Trans Energy sold to REV certain oil and gas leases and interests located in Marion, Marshall, Tyler and Wetzel Counties, West Virginia. REV has since
asserted that certain of the properties sold to it pursuant to the 2011 PSA have title defects resulting in a diminution in value for which REV is entitled to compensation from Trans Energy. 

WHEREAS, on April 26, 2012, Trans Energy and RP6 amended and restated the Original AJDA (the “Restated AJDA”) to,
among other things, supersede the Original AJDA and add American Shale, REV and RP8, and for certain limited purposes therein, RP7, REO and Sancho Oil and Gas Corporation, a West Virginia corporation, as parties under the Restated AJDA. 

WHEREAS, on May 21, 2014, American Shale entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “2014 PSA”) with REV,
pursuant to which American Shale sold to REV (i) an undivided interest across all of its undeveloped leasehold, (ii) an over-riding royalty interest of 1.5% in all of its leasehold in Wetzel County, West Virginia, and (iii) an over-riding royalty
interest of 1.0% in six wells in Marshall County, West Virginia. In connection with the 2014 

 PSA, REV, RP6 and American Shale amended the Restated AJDA pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Amended
and Restated Farm-Out and Area of Joint Development Agreement dated May 20, 2014 (the “First Amendment,” and the Restated AJDA, as amended by the First Amendment, the “AJDA”). Under the AJDA, among other things, (a)
REV agreed to fund all costs associated with certain leasehold acquisitions made pursuant to the AJDA subsequent to April 1, 2014 (such leasehold acquisitions, the “Subject Properties”), and (b) in the event that REV sold its
interest in any such Subject Properties, American Shale was granted the right to buy a 25% interest in any Subject Property at REV’s cost, plus interest accrued thereon at the rate of 12% per annum (the “Purchase Option”),
simultaneously with the consummation of such sale by REV. 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the AJDA, each party thereto has certain rights,
including a pre-emptive right and a tag-along right, upon a sale or farm-out by any other party thereto of its interests under the AJDA, each as more fully set forth in Section 9 of the AJDA (the “AJDA Rights”). 

WHEREAS, Trans Energy, American Shale and the members of the Republic Group previously entered into that certain Joint Operating
Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2007, as amended on June 17, 2011 and April 26, 2012 (as amended, the “JOA”). Under the JOA, each of Trans Energy, American Shale and the members of the Republic Group have a right of first refusal,
tag-along right and certain other rights upon a sale or farm-out of an interest covered by the JOA by any other party thereto or such other party’s affiliate assignee, each as more fully set forth in Section XV.F thereof (the “JOA
Rights”).
 WHEREAS, on April 26, 2012, REO and Trans Energy entered into that certain Contract Operator Agreement (the
“Contract Operator Agreement”) pursuant to which Trans Energy was subcontracted to perform certain functions as the operator of the properties and assets subject to and covered by the AJDA and the JOA. 

WHEREAS, on April 26, 2012, pursuant to the AJDA and the JOA, REO was appointed as Operator (as such term is defined in the JOA) under
the JOA and operator under the AJDA (in each such capacity, the “Operator”) of the properties subject to the JOA and AJDA, as applicable, and subject to Trans Energy’s right to re-assume its position as Operator under the AJDA
and the JOA in certain circumstances. On May 20, 2014, as set forth in the First Amendment, Trans Energy relinquished its right to re-assume its position as Operator. 

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Republic Group and Production entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Republic
PSA”) pursuant to which the Republic Group will sell substantially all of its oil and gas properties, including the Subject Properties, to Production (collectively, the “Republic/EQT Transaction”), which such sale shall
trigger the Purchase Option with respect to the Subject Properties and, in respect of Trans Energy and American Shale, the AJDA Rights and the JOA Rights. 

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, Trans Energy entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “TE Merger Agreement”)
with EQT and Merger Sub pursuant to which Merger Sub will make a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Trans Energy and, if such tender offer is successfully consummated, following such consummation, Merger

  
 2 

 
Sub will be merged with and into Trans Energy, with Trans Energy surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (such transactions referred to together as the “TE/EQT Transaction”
and, collectively with the Republic/EQT Transaction, the “Transactions”). 
 WHEREAS, if each of the Transactions is
successfully consummated, as a result of the consummation of each Transaction (each, a “Closing,” and together, the “Closings”), the EQT Group will, either directly or indirectly, own all of the outstanding
properties and assets currently covered by the AJDA. 
 WHEREAS, the Republic Group contemplates that concurrently with the Closings
it will offer employment on a temporary basis to each member of the land department at Trans Energy (the “Land Group”) as of the date hereof. 

WHEREAS, the TE Group and the Republic Group desire to settle finally and forever any and all claims between them of any nature
whatsoever from any and all liability or damages of any kind, known or unknown, in contract or in tort, arising out of their dealings with each other prior to the Closings, including the transactions described in the Recitals above. 

WHEREAS, the TE Group further desires to (a) waive any rights it may have to assume the position of Operator under the AJDA and the
JOA, (b) memorialize the exercise of the Purchase Option by American Shale and provide for the terms of such exercise, (c) waive its rights in respect of the AJDA Rights and the JOA Rights, and (d) make the other acknowledgements, agreements,
representations and warranties set forth herein. 
 WHEREAS, the Republic Group further desires to (a) provide for the terms of the
exercise of the Purchase Option by American Shale, (b) make certain agreements with respect to the employment of the Land Group following the Closings, and (c) make the other acknowledgements, agreements, representations and warranties set forth
herein. 
 WHEREAS, the EQT Group desires to make the acknowledgements, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein.

the JOA or otherwise to act as, re-assume or reacquire its position, and all of the attendant rights, obligations and duties, as Operator under the AJDA and the JOA or otherwise with respect to the assets subject to the AJDA, the JOA or the
Transactions, (ii) irrevocably waives any other rights it may have to act as or assume a position as Operator under the AJDA or the JOA or otherwise with respect to the assets subject to the AJDA, the JOA or the Transactions, whether arising under
the AJDA, the JOA or any other agreement between any 

  
 3 

 
member of the TE Group (or any Affiliate (as defined below) thereof) and any member of the Republic Group (or any Affiliate thereof), and (iii) acknowledges that REO is the duly appointed
Operator under the AJDA and the JOA and has all rights, duties and responsibilities as Operator under the AJDA and the JOA, including the right to resign from its position as Operator, in its sole discretion, in connection with the Transactions. In
connection with the consummation of the Republic/EQT Transaction, Trans Energy hereby irrevocably consents to the appointment of Production or any Affiliate of Production as the Operator under the AJDA and the JOA. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Operator Agreement, including, without limitation, the notice requirement set

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Purchaser, and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for Purchaser to commence a tender offer for any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the

of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be
counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum; and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of such Subject Shares (i)

 2 

 
combination involving the Company (other than the Transactions); (y) a sale, lease, license or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any reorganization, recapitalization or

with respect to the matters described in Section 1.2, for so long as the Termination Date has not occurred, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent, and any individual designated in writing by Parent, and each of
them individually, as its proxy and attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder, to the full extent of such Stockholders’ voting rights with respect to all such
Stockholders’ Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of NRS 78.355), to vote, and to execute written consents with respect to, all such Stockholders’ Subject
Shares (with respect to which the Stockholder is entitled to vote) on the matters described in Section 1.2 and in accordance therewith. Each Stockholder hereby affirms that such irrevocable proxy is given in connection with the execution of
the Merger Agreement and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all that such irrevocable proxy may lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof. Each Stockholder agrees to execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein. Such proxy shall automatically terminate upon the
occurrence of the Termination Date. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to a Stockholder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to such Stockholder.

contemplated hereby on a timely basis. 
 ARTICLE IV 

COVENANTS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS 

Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that until the Termination Date: 

4.1 No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements. Except as provided hereunder, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly,
(a) create or permit to exist any Share Encumbrance, other than Permitted Share Encumbrances, on any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, (b) transfer, sell, assign, gift, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, by depositing, submitting or otherwise tendering any such Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer), or enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”), any of such Stockholder’s
Subject Shares, or any right or interest therein (or consent to any of the foregoing), (c) enter into any Contract, option or other agreement (including profit sharing agreement), arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer of such
Stockholder’s Subject Shares or any interest therein, (d) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, (e) deposit or permit the
deposit of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or (f) take or permit any other action that would in any way
restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or otherwise make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder herein untrue or incorrect. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing
sentence shall be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by such Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a
purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all 

  
 6 

 
transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this
Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, until the Termination Date, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly,
accept any tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes an Alternative Proposal and shall not tender any Subject Shares in any such tender offer or exchange offer. 

4.2 No Exercise of Appraisal Rights. Such Stockholder forever irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to exercise
any dissenter’s, appraisal or similar rights (whether arising under the Dissenter’s Rights Statutes or otherwise) in respect of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares that may arise in connection with the Merger Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger) unless the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms. 

4.3 Documentation and Information. Such Stockholder shall not make any public announcement regarding this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), except as may be required by applicable Law (provided that reasonable notice of any such disclosure will be provided to
Parent). Such Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent and Purchaser to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC or other Governmental Entity or applicable securities exchange, and any press release or
other disclosure document that is required in connection with the Offer, the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, such Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Shares, the existence of this
Agreement and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and such Stockholder acknowledges that Parent and Purchaser may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the
SEC or any other Governmental Entity or securities exchange. Such Stockholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and such Stockholder agrees to promptly
notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by such Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading
in any material respect. The Stockholder makes no representations, and shall have no liability to Parent, Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, with respect to any other disclosure made by Parent, Purchaser, the Company or
any of their respective Affiliates (other than Stockholder), or with respect to any other information contained in any such disclosure documents. 

4.4 Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Subject Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities. 

4.5 Waiver of Certain Actions. Each Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions
necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective successors (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay
the 

  
 7 

 
operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Offer or the Closing), (b) alleging a breach of any
duty of the Board of Directors of the Company or (c) alleging a breach by any of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or any of the executive officers of the Company, relating to any violation occurring prior to the date of this
Agreement and relating to United States federal or state securities laws. Notwithstanding Section 5.2, in the event the Offer is consummated, this Section 4.5 shall survive the consummation of the Offer indefinitely. 

4.6 No Solicitation. Subject to Section 5.15, each Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates and
its and their respective Representatives not to, and each Stockholder shall not publicly propose to, directly or indirectly (other than with respect to Parent and Purchaser), (a) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any
inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal, (b) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party regarding, or furnish
to any third party information or provide to any third party access to the businesses, properties, assets or personnel of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to or in connection with or with the purpose or effect of encouraging or
facilitating, an Alternative Proposal, or (c) enter into any letter of intent, agreement, contract, commitment, agreement in principle or any other arrangement or understanding with respect to an Alternative Proposal or enter into any agreement,
contract, commitment, arrangement or understanding requiring such Stockholder to, or contemplating that such Stockholder will, abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall, and
shall cause its controlled Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any third party theretofore conducted by such
Stockholder, its controlled Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives with respect to an Alternative Proposal. Except to the extent such notice has previously been provided by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each
Stockholder shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two calendar days) notify Parent of any Alternative Proposal, or any request for information or inquiry that such Stockholder reasonably believes could lead to or contemplates an
Alternative Proposal, which notification shall include (i) a copy of the applicable written Alternative Proposal, request or inquiry (or, if oral, the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal, request or inquiry) (including in each
case any subsequent material amendments or other material modifications thereto) and (ii) the identity of the third party making such Alternative Proposal, request or inquiry. 

4.7 Stockholder Litigation. Each Stockholder shall provide Parent with prompt notice of any claim, action, suit, litigation or
proceeding (including any class action or derivative litigation) brought, asserted or commenced by, on behalf of or in the name of, against or otherwise involving such Stockholder relating to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis with respect to the status thereof. Each Stockholder shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s expense) in the defense
or settlement of any such litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent. 

  
 8 

 4.8 Reasonable Best Efforts. Unless the Merger Agreement has been validly
terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist with Parent, Purchaser and the Company in doing, any and
all things, necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions. 
 ARTICLE V

 MISCELLANEOUS 

5.1 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery by hand, by facsimile or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such
other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice): (i) if to Parent or Purchaser, to the address or facsimile number set forth in Section 9.4 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) if to a Stockholder, to such Stockholder’s
address or facsimile number set forth on a signature page hereto, or to such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to each other party hereto. 

5.2 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically, without any notice or other action by any Person, upon the first
to occur of (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Effective Time, (c) the acceptance for payment by Purchaser of all of the Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn,
(d) upon mutual written consent of the parties to terminate this Agreement, and (e) the date of any modification, waiver or amendment of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount or changes the form of consideration payable thereunder
to such Stockholder (the date of termination with respect to any Stockholder being referred to herein as the “Termination Date”). Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities
under this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) nothing set forth in this Section 5.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof, (y) the provisions of this Article V
(excluding Section 5.14) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (z) the provisions of Section 4.5 shall survive any termination of the date hereof in the event the Offer has been consummated. 

5.3 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the
parties. Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver with respect to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement
to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

All fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated. 

5.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with Schedule I, and the other documents and certificates delivered
pursuant hereto, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to, the subject matter of this Agreement. 

  
 9 

 5.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that either Parent or Purchaser may assign, in its sole
discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent (in the case of Purchaser) or to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, of
any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties
and their respective successors and assigns. 
 5.7 Specific Enforcement; Jurisdiction. 

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 5.7(b),
without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which
they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such right, none of the parties would
have entered into this Agreement. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
the Eighth Judicial District of the State of Nevada (or, if such court shall be unavailable, any state or federal court sitting in the Clark County, Nevada) for the purpose of any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such legal action, suit or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in such court. Each of the
parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the Eighth Judicial District of the State of Nevada (or, if such court shall be unavailable, any state or federal court sitting in the Clark County, Nevada)
in the event any legal action, suit or proceeding arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave
from any such court, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, on behalf of itself or its property, in
accordance with Section 5.1 (provided that nothing in this Section 5.7(b) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law) and (iv) agrees that it will not bring any legal action,
suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the courts of the Eighth Judicial District of the State of Nevada (or, if such court shall be unavailable, any state or federal
court sitting in the Clark County, Nevada). The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such 

  
 10 

 
legal action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided, however,
that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. 

5.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of
any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any legal action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been
induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 5.8. 

5.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada,
regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 
 5.10 Parties in
Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 5.11 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. 
 5.12 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other
parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

5.13 Interpretation. The rules of construction set forth in Section 9.14 of the Merger Agreement shall apply to this
Agreement, mutatis mutandis. 
 5.14 Further Assurances. Each Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and
regulations, to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 

  
 11 

 5.15 Capacity as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such
Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall in any way
restrict a director or officer of the Company in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, or in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties in his or her capacity as a director or
officer of the Company, or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director or officer, and no action taken solely in any such
capacity as an officer or director of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement. 
 5.16 Stockholder
Obligation Several and Not Joint. The obligations of each Stockholder hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Stockholder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Stockholder. 

5.17 Headings. The Section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement
