 - 3 - 

 Section 2.2 Offer of Sale; Notice of Proposed Sale. If any Common Holder desires to transfer
any shares of Common Stock now or hereafter owned by him in a bona fide transaction to an unrelated third party, or any interest in such Stock, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, in any transaction other than pursuant to
Section 2.10 of this Agreement, such stockholder (the “Selling Party”) shall first deliver written notice of his desire to do so (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and each Investor. The Transfer
Notice must specify: (i) the name and address of the party to which the Selling Party proposes to transfer the shares of Stock or an interest in the Stock (the “Offeror”), (ii) the number of shares of Stock the Selling
Party proposes to transfer (the “Offered Shares”), (iii) the consideration per share to be delivered to the Selling Party for the proposed transfer, and (iv) all other material terms and conditions of the proposed
transfer. 
 Section 2.3 Company’s Priority Right of First Refusal. 
 (a) The Company shall have the first option to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares for the consideration per share and on the terms and
conditions specified in the Transfer Notice. If the Company wishes to exercise such option, it must do so no later than fifteen (15) business days after such Transfer Notice is deemed to have been delivered to it (the “Primary Option
Period”) by written notice to the Selling Party. The election to purchase the Offered Shares shall be made on behalf of the Company and approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company who have not been designated by, and who
are not Affiliates of, the Selling Party. 
 (b) In the event the Company does not exercise its option within the Primary Option Period with
respect to all of the Offered Shares, the Company shall, on or before the last day of such Preferred period, give written notice of that fact to the Investors (the “Investor Notice”) . The Investor Notice shall specify the number of
Offered Shares the Company has elected not to purchase (the “Remaining Shares”). 
 (c) In the event the Company duly
exercises its option to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the closing of such purchase shall take place at the offices of the Company on the date five (5) days after the expiration of the Primary Option Period. In the event the Company
exercises its option to purchase a portion of the Offered Shares, the closing of such purchase shall take place at the offices of the Company on the date of the closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to
Section 2.4(c) or 2.6 hereof. 
 (d) To the extent that the consideration proposed to be paid by the Offeror for the
Offered Shares consists of property other than cash or a promissory note, the consideration required to be paid by the Company or any Investor exercising their options under this Section 2 may consist of cash equal to the value of such
property, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event the Offered Shares constitute at least 50,000 shares of Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification of shares or
similar event) and the parties cannot agree on the fair market value after a reasonable period of good faith negotiation, then such determination shall be based on an Appraisal, which shall be binding, the cost of which shall be borne equally by the
Company (to the extent it exercises its option under this Section 2) and those Investors exercising their options under this Section 2, on the one hand, and the Selling Party on the other hand; provided, however, that
(i) if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a 30-day period ending on the trading day immediately prior
to the date of calculation, or (ii) if the Company’s Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sales price (whichever is applicable) over the 30-day
period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of calculation, and, in either such event, no Appraisal shall be necessary. 
  

 - 4 - 

 Section 2.4 Investors’ Option to Purchase. 
 (a) Each Investor shall have an option, exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) business days from the date of delivery to such Investor of the
Investor Notice (the “Secondary Option Period”), to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of shares of Stock owned by such Investor as a percentage of total shares of Stock owned by all Investors) of the Remaining
Shares for the consideration per share and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice. Such option shall be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company. 
 (b) In the event options to purchase have been exercised by the Investors with respect to some but not all of the Remaining Shares, the Company shall,
promptly following and in no event later than the second business day following the expiration of the Secondary Option Period, give written notice of that fact to those Investors who have exercised their options in full within such period (the
“Second Investor Notice”). The Second Investor Notice shall specify the number of Remaining Shares the Investors have not elected to purchase. Each Investor who has exercised its or his option in full within the Secondary Option
Period shall have an additional option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), for a period of ten (10) business days after delivery to such Investor of the Second Investor Notice (the “Over-Allotment Option Period”),
to purchase all or any part of the balance of such Remaining Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice, which option shall be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Company. In the event that two or more such
Investors choose to exercise the Over-Allotment Option for a total number of Remaining Shares in excess of the number available, the Remaining Shares available for each such Investor’s Over-Allotment Option shall be allocated to such Investor
pro rata based on the number of shares of Stock owned by all Investors electing to exercise their Over-Allotment Options. 
 (c) If
Investors exercise their options to purchase all of the Remaining Shares, if any, the Company shall immediately notify all of the exercising Investors of that fact, and the closing of the purchase of the Remaining Shares shall take place at the
offices of the Company no later than forty-five (45) business days after delivery of such notice to such Investors. In the event the Investors exercise their options with respect to fewer than all of the Remaining Shares, if any, the Company
shall, promptly following and in no event later than the second business day following the expiration of the Over-Allotment Option Period (or, if no Investor exercises his or its option pursuant to Section 2.4(a), the Secondary Option
Period), give written notice of that fact to the Selling Party specifying the number of Remaining Shares available for sale pursuant to Section 2.5. 
 (d) The Selling Party shall be copied on all notices to the Company. 
 Section 2.5 Investors’
Right to Participate in Sale. If, with respect to a Selling Party proposing to transfer shares of Stock, the Company and the Investors do not exercise their options to purchase all of the Offered Shares within any applicable Option Period, the
Offered Shares with respect to which such options have not been exercised may be sold by the Selling Party to the Offeror on terms no less favorable to the Selling Party than those set forth in the Transfer Notice at any time on or prior to thirty
(30) days after the expiration of the applicable Option Period; provided, however, that each Investor that has, at any time during the Secondary Option Period, notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s desire to participate
in the Selling Party’s proposed transfer by transferring to the Offeror shares of Stock owned by it or him (but in no event more than such Investor’s Proportionate Percentage) (a “Participating Investor”), shall be
entitled to do so. The Company shall promptly, on expiration of the Secondary Option Period or the Over-Allotment Option Period, as applicable, notify the Selling Party of the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Participating Investors wish to
transfer. The Selling Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to interest the Offeror in purchasing, in addition to the Offered Shares, the shares the Participating Investors wish to transfer. If the Offeror does not wish to purchase all

  

 - 5 - 

 
of the shares made available by the Selling Party and the Participating Investors, then (i) each Participating Investor shall be entitled to transfer to
the Offeror, at an Equivalent Price Per Share and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice, a portion of the number of shares identified in the Transfer Notice, in the same proportion as such Participating Investor’s
ownership of shares of Stock bears to the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the Selling Party and the Participating Investors, and (ii) the Selling Party shall be entitled to transfer to the Offeror up to a number of shares of Stock
which equals the difference between the number of shares desired to be purchased by the Offeror and the number of shares of Stock being transferred by the Participating Investors in accordance with clause (i) above. The proceeds of any transfer
made by the Selling Party without compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to be held in constructive trust in such amount as would have been due the Participating Investors if the Selling Party had complied
herewith. 
 Section 2.6 Additional Limitations. If the Selling Party wishes to transfer any shares of Stock at a price per share
which differs from that set forth in the Transfer Notice, upon terms different from those previously offered to the Company and the Investors, or more than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the relevant Option Period, as a condition
precedent to such transaction the Selling Party must again comply with the provisions of Section 2 as though such shares were proposed to be transferred in the first instance. 
 Section 2.7 Permitted Transfers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided that the transferee (except pursuant to
(a) below) has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, the following transfers of Stock shall be permitted without complying with the other provisions of this Section 2: 
 (a) transfers of shares of Stock by a Stockholder pursuant to a Qualified IPO; 
 (b) transfers of shares of Stock by a Stockholder to a family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Stockholder or a member or members of his
family; 
 (c) transfers of shares of Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares by an Investor, provided that, if reasonably requested by
the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such transfer will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act (it being agreed that the
Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated thereunder); provided further, however, that no such opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by an Investor that is (i) a
partnership to an affiliated entity and to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (ii) a corporation to its shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, or (iii) a limited liability
company to an affiliated entity and to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company; or 
 (d) transfers pursuant to rights of first refusal in favor of the Company. 
 Section 3. Preemptive Rights. 

Section 3.1 Investors’ Rights to Purchase New Securities. The Company hereby grants to each Investor a right of first refusal to
purchase its Proportionate Percentage of all (or any part of) any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.2 below) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell or issue. 
  

 - 6 - 

 Section 3.2 “New Securities” Defined. “New Securities” shall mean
any capital stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever which are, or may become, convertible into capital stock; provided, however,
that the term “New Securities” shall not include (A) the Common Stock and Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date hereof; (B) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock or upon
exercise (or conversion of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise) of any options or warrants outstanding as of the date hereof; (C) securities offered to the public pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act; (D) unless
otherwise increased by the Board of Directors of the Company (including the approval of at least one of the Preferred Stock Directors (as defined in Section 4.1(a) below)), the issuance or sale of up to 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock,
or options or warrants to purchase such shares, which are outstanding on or may be issued or granted after the date hereof to employees, consultants, officers, directors, or advisors of the Company pursuant to a stock option plan, employee stock
purchase plan, restricted stock plan or agreement or similar plan or agreement approved by the Board of Directors; (E) shares of Common Stock, or other securities, or warrants, rights, or other Convertible Securities issued to equipment
lessors, banks, financial institutions or similar entities in a transaction approved by the Board of Directors (including the approval of at least one of the Preferred Stock Directors (as defined in Section 4.1(a) below)), the principal
purpose of which is other than the raising of capital through the sale of equity securities of the Company; or (F) securities issued as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification of shares or similar event, or as
a dividend or other distribution in connection with which an automatic adjustment in the applicable conversion price is made. 
 Section 3.3 Mechanics of Preemptive Right. 
 (a) In the event that the Company proposes to issue New Securities, at
least fifteen (15) days before such issuance, it shall give to each Investor written notice of its intention, describing in such notice the type of New Securities, the price, and the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New
Securities (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”). Each Investor shall have ten (10) days (the “Preemptive Rights Period”) from the date of its receipt of any such Preemptive Rights Notice to agree to purchase all or
a part of its Proportionate Percentage of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. Upon
the earlier of (x) the expiration of such 10-day period or (y) receipt by the Company of notices from all Investors pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall give to all Investors exercising in full their right to
purchase their respective Proportionate Percentages of such New Securities a written notice setting forth the number of New Securities subscribed to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of such rights by all Investors and the number of New
Securities that have not been subscribed to be so purchased. Any agreement by an Investor to purchase New Securities shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(b) below, be binding on such Investor. The Company shall designate by
written notice to Investors a date for the closing of the issuance and sale of such New Securities to occur not earlier than five (5) days following the expiration of the Preemptive Rights Period. Notwithstanding the agreement of any Investor
to purchase any or all of the New Securities, unless otherwise specifically agreed by such Investor and the Company, the Company will be under no obligation to issue and sell the New Securities, and may withdraw the proposed issuance, at its sole
discretion, at any time prior to the closing of the issuance of the New Securities. 
 (b) The Company shall have ninety (90) days
following the Preemptive Rights Period to issue and sell to one or more third parties the New Securities not subscribed for by Investors, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Preemptive Rights
Notice. No Investor that has agreed to purchase or otherwise acquire any New Securities pursuant to the exercise of the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 3 shall be obligated 

  

 - 7 - 

 
to consummate such purchase or acquisition unless and until New Securities available for issuance or sale to one or more third parties have actually been
issued or sold in accordance with the terms set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice, in which event a closing with respect to both the purchase by such Investor and such third party or parties shall occur simultaneously. In the event the Company
has not so sold the New Securities within said ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Investors in the manner provided above. 
 Section 4. Board of Directors. 
 Section 4.1 Board Composition. 
 (a) Each Stockholder agrees on behalf of itself and any transferee or assign to vote
or cause to be voted at a regular or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent) all shares of Stock now or hereafter owned or controlled by such stockholder, and otherwise use its or his respective best efforts as a Stockholder of the
Company, to set the number of directors of the Company at five and to elect as directors, on the date of this Agreement and in any subsequent election of directors of the Company the following: (i) two directors (the “Common
Directors”) designated by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock (voting together as a single class), one of whom shall initially be James P. Hynes; (ii) two directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”),
(a) one who shall be designated by DCM III, L.P. or its affiliates (“DCM”), who initially shall be Dixon Doll, and (b) one who shall be designated by New Enterprise Associates 10, Limited Partnership or its affiliates
(“NEA”), who initially shall be Peter Barris and (iii) one independent director designated by mutual agreement of, on the one hand, the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class), and on
the other hand, the holders of a majority of the Common Stock (voting together as a single class), who initially shall be Bob Hawk. 
 (b)
In the absence of any notice to the contrary to the then current other members of the Board of Directors, the director-designees then serving and previously designated shall be reelected if still eligible to serve as provided herein. Except in
circumstances in which a director could, pursuant to the Company’s By-laws (or any amendment thereof), be removed by a majority vote of the Board of Directors for cause, no party hereto shall vote to remove any member of the Board of Directors
designated in accordance with the aforesaid procedure unless the designating party or parties so vote, and if the designating party or parties so vote, then the non-designating party or parties shall likewise so vote. 
 (c) Any vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation, removal, incapacity or death of any person designated under this
Section 4.1 shall be filled by another person designated by the original designating party or parties. Each Stockholder shall vote its or his shares of Stock in accordance with such new designation. 
 Section 4.2 Director and Officer Liability Insurance. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise unanimously agrees, the Company shall maintain
director and officer liability insurance reasonably acceptable to the Preferred Stock Directors. 
 Section 4.3 No Liability for
Election of Recommended Directors. Neither the Company, the Stockholders nor any officer, director, stockholder, partner, employee or agent of any such party, makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the nominee of
any party hereunder to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors by virtue of such party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such party in voting for such nominee pursuant to this Agreement. 
 Section 4.4 Grant of Proxy. Upon the failure of any party (a “Nonvoting Party”) to vote such party’s Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 4 (a “Failed Vote”), the Nonvoting Party hereby grants to a Stockholder designated by the Board of Directors of the Company a proxy 

  

 - 8 - 

 
coupled with an interest in all Stock owned by the Nonvoting Party, which proxy shall be exercisable by such Stockholder (i) not earlier than five
(5) days after the Nonvoting Party has received written notice from the Board of Directors identifying the subject of the Nonvoting Party’s Failed Vote and indicating that it intends to exercise its right to designate a proxyholder, and
(ii) only if, during such five-day period the Nonvoting Party fails to cure the Failed Vote by voting its or his Stock in accordance with the terms of this Section 4. If the proxy becomes exercisable, it shall be exercisable and
irrevocable as to the subject of, and until the proxyholder has cast a vote in respect of, such Failed Vote, or until this Agreement terminates pursuant to its terms or this Section 4.4 is amended to remove such grant of proxy in
accordance with Section 6.6 hereof. 
 Section 4.5 Stock Vesting. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors
(including the Preferred Stock Directors), all stock options and other stock equivalents issued after the date of this Agreement to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers shall be subject to vesting as follows: four
(4) year vesting period, with twenty-five percent (25%) of such stock vesting on each anniversary of such person’s services commencement date with the Company. 
 Section 5. Covenants. 
 Section 5.1 Information Rights. The Company covenants and agrees with each Investor that so long as such Investor continues to own beneficially or of record, not less than 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock or 300,000 Conversion
Shares (in each case as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification of shares or similar event) such Investor shall have the rights specified in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. 
 Section 5.2 Inspection Rights. Subject to the limitation contained in Section 5.1, each Investor shall have the right, at all
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice during usual business hours to audit, examine and make copies of or extracts from the books and records of the Company (other than those portions of the Company’s corporate minute books and any
agreements or information relating to the Company that the Board of Directors determines in good faith to be confidential or subject to a confidentiality agreement with a third party or if such disclosure would place the Company at a competitive
disadvantage), which right may be exercised through any agent or employee of such Investor designated by it or him, or by a certified public accountant designated by such Investor, and such Investor shall bear all expenses incurred in any
examination made for such Investor’s account. Promptly upon request, the Company also shall furnish to such Investor such other information bearing on the financial condition and operations of the Company as such Investor may from time to time
reasonably request. 
 Section 5.3 Financial Information. Subject to the limitation contained in Section 5.1, the
Company shall provide to such Investor: 
 (a) unaudited monthly reports within thirty (30) days of the end of each
month, and unaudited quarterly reports within forty-five (45) days of the end of each quarter, including in each case a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such period and statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
of the Company for such period; 
 (b) with respect to the financial statements called for in subsection (a) of this
Section 5.3, an instrument executed by the Chief Financial Officer or President of the Company certifying that, to the best of his knowledge after due inquiry, such financials were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
with prior practice for earlier periods (with the exception of footnotes that may be required by GAAP) and fairly present the financial condition 

  

 - 9 - 

 
of the Company and its results of operation for the period specified, subject to year-end audit adjustment; 
 (c) audited annual reports within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, with a balance sheet of the
Company as of the end of such fiscal year and statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company for such fiscal year, such year end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and audited or certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Company; and 
 (d) prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, a comprehensive business plan and budget forecasting the Company’s revenues,
expenses and cash position for such fiscal year, prepared on a monthly basis. 
 Section 5.4 Other Information. Subject to the
limitation contained in Section 5.1, the Company shall provide to such Investor, promptly after the Company’s knowledge thereof, notice of all material actions, suits and proceedings before any court or governmental department,
commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, to which the Company is a party. 
 Section 5.5
Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall, in accordance with its corporate policy, reimburse each Investor’s travel and related expenses for non-local Company business incurred by such Investor. 
 Section 5.6 Certain Notices. The Company shall provide prompt notice to each Investor following any “determination date” (as
defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(c)(1)) on which the Company becomes a “United States real property holding corporation,” as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In
addition, upon a written request by any Investor, the company shall provide such Investor with a written statement informing such Investor whether such Investor’s interest in the Company constitutes a “United States real property
interest.” The Company’s determination shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(1) or any successor regulation, and the Company shall provide timely notice to the Internal Revenue Service, in
accordance with and to the extent required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2) or any successor regulation, that such statement has been made. The Company’s written statement to such Investor shall be delivered to such Investor
within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of such Investor’s written request therefore. The Company’s obligation to furnish shall continue notwithstanding the fact that a class of the Company’s stock may be regularly
traded on an established securities market or the fact that there is no Preferred Stock then outstanding. 
 Section 6.
Miscellaneous. 
 Section 6.1 New Stockholders. Except as specifically provided herein, any individual or Entity that, after
the date hereof, acquires shares of Stock must as a condition to the effectiveness of such acquisition become a party to this Agreement, unless such requirement is waived by the action of a majority of the Board of Directors (including the approval
of at least one of the Preferred Stock Directors). Each such individual or Entity shall become a party to this Agreement, without the need for the consent, approval or signature of any other Stockholder, by executing a joinder or other instrument
acceptable to and executed by the Company; thereafter, such individual or Entity shall become a “Stockholder” hereunder (and a “Investor” with respect to individuals and Entities acquiring shares of Preferred
Stock). 
  

 - 10 - 

 Section 6.2 Specific Performance; Other Rights. The parties hereto recognize that various of
the rights of the parties under this Agreement are unique and, accordingly, the Stockholders and Company shall, in addition to such other remedies as may be available to any of them at law or in equity, have the right to enforce their rights
hereunder by actions for injunctive relief and specific performance to the extent permitted by law. Except as provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to limit or abridge any rights of the Stockholders which may exist apart from this
Agreement. 
 Section 6.3 Stock Legend. In addition to any other legends that may be required under federal or state securities
laws or by the terms of any other agreement, each certificate of shares of Stock subject to this Agreement shall have endorsed, stamped or written thereon a legend which shall read substantially as follows:

REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE). 
 Section 6.4 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the date that is the earliest to occur
of (i) the closing of a Qualified IPO, (ii) a Change in Control, (iii) the dissolution of the Company, (iv) with respect to Section 4 only, the tenth anniversary of the date hereof; or (v) with respect to

Agreement shall be deemed adequately given only if in writing and the same shall be delivered either by hand, by facsimile or by expedited commercial carrier, addressed to the recipient of the notice, charges prepaid. All communications to be sent

the Company and the Investors holders two-thirds of the Stock held by all Investors. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the observance of any term of this Agreement 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 Investors holding two-thirds of the Stock held by all Investors. In addition to the foregoing, (a) the provisions of Section 4.1(a)(i)
may be amended or terminated and the observance of any term may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Common Holders holding a majority of the Common

waiver of any such term, condition or provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver that (i) treats any Investor in a materially adverse manner that is different from any other Investor, (ii) treats any Common Holder in
a materially adverse manner that is different from any other Common Holder, or (iii) that eliminates or materially adversely modifies any rights of any Common Holder, will require the separate approval of such Investor or Common Holder. Any
amendment or waiver in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each party hereto. 
 Section 6.7 Assignment; Successors and
Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party without the written consent of the others. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. 
 Section 6.8 Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be, or shall in fact be, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied to any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or in all jurisdictions or in all cases, because of the
conflicting of any provision with any constitution or statute or rule of public policy or for any other reason, such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision or provisions in question, invalid, inoperative or unenforceable
in any other jurisdiction or in any other case or circumstance or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to the extent that such other provisions are not themselves actually in conflict
with such constitution, statute or rule of public policy, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed in any such jurisdiction or case as if such invalid, inoperative or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein and such
provision reformed so that it would be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted in such jurisdiction or in such case. 
 Section 6.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (each of which need not be executed by each of the parties), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Section 6.10 Section Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 Section 6.11 Number;
Gender. Whenever used herein, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender shall include all genders. 
  

 - 12 - 

 Section 6.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the law (other than the law governing conflict of law questions) of the State of Delaware. 
 Section 6.13 Entire
Agreement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between them as to such subject matter;
including the First Amended and Restated Agreement, which is superceded by this Agreement and is of no further force and effect, and there are no restrictions, agreements, arrangements, oral or written, between any or all of the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof which are not fully expressed or referred to herein. 
 Section 6.14 Recapitalizations, Exchanges, etc.
Except with respect to a Change in Control, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein with respect to the Stock, to any and all shares of capital stock of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company
whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Stock, by reason of conversion, stock dividend, stock split, stock issuance, reverse stock split,
combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise. 
 Section 6.15 Aggregation of Stock. All
shares of Stock held or acquired by Affiliated Entities shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement. 
 Section 6.16 Arbitration. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all disputes, controversies, claims or differences that may arise among the parties hereto out of or in relation to this
Agreement (including questions as to whether a matter is governed by this arbitration provision) shall be settled solely and exclusively by arbitration (if good faith negotiations among the parties do not resolve such dispute, controversy, claim or
difference within sixty (60) days after notice of such dispute is received) conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. All hearings and proceedings regarding arbitration shall take
place in Chicago, Illinois, before a single arbitrator acceptable to both parties. The arbitrator shall be chosen from a panel of approved arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association. Reasonable discovery shall be allowed. The arbitrator
shall abide by the clear and unambiguous terms of this Agreement in making a determination. The costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees of the parties, shall be allocated by the arbitrator taking into account the
parties’ intent and agreement that the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to an award of costs and expenses. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered
in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing herein shall bar any party from obtaining injunctive relief as provided for in this Agreement or against other threatened conduct under rules of equity.
