 Section 3.4 Restricted Securities. ESAS understands that the Securities have not

and is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment. Without derogating from or limiting the representations and warranties of EXCO, ESAS acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
concerning EXCO and to obtain additional information that it has requested to verify the information contained in this Section 3.6. With the assistance of ESAS’s own professional advisors, to the extent that ESAS has deemed
appropriate, ESAS has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in Securities and the consequences of this Agreement. ESAS has considered the suitability of the Securities as an investment
in light of its own circumstances and financial condition, and ESAS is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein will operate to modify or limit in any respect the other
representations, warranties or covenants of EXCO or to relieve it from any obligations to ESAS for breach thereof or for the making of misleading statements or the omission of material facts in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (in each case, with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or result, in the acceleration of, or the creation of any Lien under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other

agreement, instrument, contract or other arrangement to which ESAS is a party or by which ESAS is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ESAS is subject, (ii) will not result in

default, acceleration, Lien, termination or impairment which would not reasonably be expected to result in an ESAS Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 3.8 Consents, Approvals or Waivers. No consent, approval, authorization, Order, Permit, registration or qualification of
any Third Party or with any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by ESAS in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the compliance by ESAS with any of the provisions hereof and thereof, or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or “blue sky” Laws in connection with the

defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by EXCO in the reports that it files or submits with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to EXCO’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (2) has disclosed, based
on its most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to EXCO’s outside auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (A) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect EXCO’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
management or other employees who have a significant role in EXCO’s internal control over financial reporting, all of which information described in clauses (A) and (B) above has been disclosed by EXCO to ESAS prior to the Execution
Date. 
 (d) Any material change in internal control over financial reporting required to be disclosed in any SEC Filings has
been so disclosed. Since December 31, 2011, to the Knowledge of EXCO, neither EXCO nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies
or methods of EXCO or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls relating to periods after December 31, 2011, except for any complaints, allegations, assertions or claims that have not had, and would not reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, an EXCO Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) Each of the principal
executive officer of EXCO and the principal financial officer of EXCO (or each former principal executive officer of EXCO and each former principal financial officer EXCO, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Rules 13a-14 and
15d-14 under the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“SOX”), with respect to the SEC Filings, and the statements contained in such certifications are true and complete. For purposes
of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in SOX.

 Section 4.13 No Broker’s Fees. Neither EXCO nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any Person that would give rise to a claim against ESAS for a financial advisory fee, brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the issuance of the Securities or
the other transactions contemplated in any of the Transaction Documents.

confidentiality obligation set forth in this Section 5.4 shall not apply to (a) Confidential Information (i) that becomes, through no violation of the provisions of this Section 5.4 by the applicable Party or such
Party’s Representatives, part of the public domain or publically available by publication or otherwise, (ii) which is obtained by the applicable Party or such Party’s Representatives from a source that is not known to it to be
prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information to such Party or such Party’s Representatives, by any legal, fiduciary or contractual obligation of confidentiality to another Party, as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written
records, or (iii) which is developed independently by the applicable Party or such Party’s Representatives without use of the Confidential Information or violation of such Party’s and its Representatives’ obligations under this

similar requirement for such information to be disclosed or the request or requirement of any regulatory, governmental or self-regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the receiving Party or its Representatives) or the rules of any applicable
national stock exchange. In any such circumstance outlined in clause (b) above, the disclosing Party shall as promptly as practicable give the other Parties written notice of such required disclosure and thereafter disclose only that portion of
the Confidential Information as such disclosing Party is advised by legal counsel that it is reasonably required to disclose and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be
accorded such Confidential Information. The confidentiality restrictions on each Party set forth in this Section 5.4 shall terminate upon the first anniversary of the earlier of (a) Closing Date and (b) the Termination Date.

receiving Party in exercising its rights, or fulfilling its obligations, under this Agreement, provided that each Party shall be responsible for any of its lenders’, auditors’, tax advisors’ or Representatives’ breaches of
this Section 5.4, as if such Representatives were a signatory to this Agreement for the purposes of this Section 5.4. It is 

  
 -22- 

 
further understood and agreed that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.4. Accordingly, it is agreed by each Party that the other Parties
shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Section 5.4 and/or to specific performance of this
Section 5.4, and that neither a Party nor any of its Representatives may oppose the granting of such relief, provided, however, that such Party and its Representatives are entitled to dispute whether or not any Confidential

Section 5.4. “Confidential Information” means any and all information, documents, instruments, data with respect to EXCO, ESAS or of any other nature provided by or on behalf of a Party to any Representative or another
Party, confidential, proprietary and other information of a Party or the its assets whether disclosed orally, visually, in writing or in other tangible form, and any and all nonpublic or proprietary information of any nature (including prices, trade

to the extent practicable, be provided to ESAS), EXCO shall not include the name of any member of the ESAS Group (that was not previously disclosed in any public disclosure) in any press release with respect to the transactions set forth herein or
in the other Transaction Documents without the prior written consent and approval of ESAS. 
 (b) From and after the
Execution Date, except as contemplated by this Section 5.5, neither EXCO, on the one hand, nor ESAS, on the other hand, shall make, and each of EXCO and ESAS shall cause each of its Affiliates not to make, any public press release or

respective Affiliates to (a) make or cause to be made the filings required of such Party or any of its Affiliates under any Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay any fees due by such Party in connection with
such filings, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Execution Date (other than (1) the Proxy Statement, which EXCO shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file as

commercially reasonable efforts to file as and when required under the HSR Act), (b) cooperate with the other Parties and furnish all information in such Party’s possession that is necessary in connection with such other Party’s
filings, (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the notice or waiting periods under the HSR Act and, if applicable, any other Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as
promptly as is reasonably practicable, (d) promptly inform the other Party of (and, at the other Party’s reasonable request, supply to such other Party) any communication (or other correspondence or memoranda) from or to, and any proposed
understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Authority in respect of such filings, (e) consult and cooperate with the other Party in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions made

contemplated by this Agreement, and (h) use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any action or proceeding instituted (or threatened in writing to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority challenging the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement as in violation of any Law. If a Party or any of its Affiliates intends to participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority with respect to such filings or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (other than any meetings or discussions with the SEC), it will give the other Party reasonable prior notice of, and an opportunity to participate in, such meeting or discussion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in
no event shall any Party be required to make any payment, other than filing fees, to such Governmental Authority or concede anything of value, other than such payments or concessions that are de minimis in nature and do not exceed $100,000 in
value, in the aggregate, to obtain any such consent, approval or waiver; provided, however, that if any Party is required to make a payment or concession in excess of the forgoing, the other Party may, to the extent possible, elect to
make a substitute payment or concession on the first Party’s behalf. No Party shall voluntarily extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any competition/investment Law or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority to delay
or not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 Section 5.7 Non-Solicitation. For a period beginning on the Execution Date and
ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the earlier to occur of (a) the Termination Date or (b) the expiration of the obligations of ESAS under Section 5.18, each of EXCO, on the one hand, and ESAS, on the other hand,
shall not, without the other Party’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly solicit, encourage or otherwise induce any of the other Party’s or its Affiliates’ employees to leave their respective employment or become the
employee or contractor of the soliciting Party or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.7 shall prohibit the hiring or contracting for the services of any employee who has terminated his or
her employment relationship without any direct or indirect solicitation or inducement by the soliciting Party or its Affiliates. A general advertisement for employment that is not targeted at any such employee shall not constitute a breach of any
Party’s obligations under this Section 5.7. It is further understood and agreed that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.7. Accordingly, it is agreed by each of EXCO, on the
one hand, and ESAS, on the other hand, that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this
Section 5.7 and/or to specific performance of this Section 5.7, and that neither a Party nor any of its Affiliates may oppose the granting of such relief, provided, however, that such Party and its Affiliates
are entitled to dispute whether or not any violation of this Section 5.7 has occurred. Each Party agrees that equitable relief is not exclusive of other remedies to which the other Party may be entitled at Law or in equity for a breach
of this Section 5.7. 
 Section 5.8 Listing. EXCO shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include all of
the Initial Shares and, when issued, the Warrant Shares for listing on the NYSE if the Common Stock is then listed on the NYSE or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on the NYSE, on the primary national securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Common Stock is then listed or authorized for quotation. 
 Section 5.9 Proxy Statement. 

(a) As promptly as practicable after execution of this Agreement and in any event not more than thirty (30) days after the
Execution Date, EXCO shall, in consultation with ESAS, prepare, and EXCO shall file with the SEC, preliminary proxy materials in compliance with Section 14 of the Exchange Act (the “Proxy Statement”). As promptly as practicable
after comments, if any, are received from the SEC thereon and after the furnishing by EXCO and ESAS of all information required to be contained therein, EXCO shall, in consultation with ESAS, prepare and EXCO shall file any required amendments, if
any, with the SEC. EXCO shall notify ESAS promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall
consult with ESAS regarding, and supply ESAS with copies of, all correspondence between EXCO or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. Prior to filing or mailing
any proposed amendment of or supplement to the Proxy Statement, EXCO shall 

  
 -25- 

 
provide ESAS a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document. EXCO shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC and shall
thereafter mail to the shareholders of Common Stock as promptly as possible the Proxy Statement and all other proxy materials for the Shareholder Meeting. 

(b) ESAS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish EXCO any information required to be included in the Proxy
Statement and reasonably requested from ESAS by EXCO; provided that no information that ESAS or its Affiliates has furnished, or will furnish, to EXCO shall be included in the Proxy Statement unless ESAS shall have expressly consented in
writing to such information being included in the Proxy Statement. Any information relating to ESAS furnished to EXCO in writing by ESAS expressly for use in the Proxy Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(c) EXCO hereby covenants and agrees that (i) the Proxy Statement will, when filed, comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the shareholders of Common Stock or at the time
of the Shareholder Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. 
 Section 5.10 Shareholder Approval; Meeting of
Shareholders. EXCO shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and the EXCO Organizational Documents, all action necessary to convene the Shareholder Meeting as promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after
clearance of the proxy statement by the SEC, to submit for approval by the requisite vote of the shareholders of EXCO the Shareholder Proposals. In connection with each meeting of shareholders at which either of the Shareholder Proposals is
submitted for a vote of the shareholders of EXCO, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) the Board of Directors shall recommend that its shareholders vote in favor of the Shareholder Proposals, and (ii) neither the Board of
Directors nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify in a manner materially adverse to ESAS, the recommendation of the Board of Directors that the shareholders of EXCO vote in favor of the
Shareholder Proposals; provided that, at any time prior to obtaining such shareholder approval, the Board of Directors may withdraw such recommendation if such Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside
counsel) that failure to take such action violates its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. EXCO shall take all lawful action to solicit from the shareholders proxies in favor of the Shareholder Proposals and take all other action necessary or
advisable to secure the vote or consent of the EXCO shareholders that are required by the rules of the NYSE and applicable Law, including, if necessary or appropriate, adjourning the Shareholder Meeting to solicit additional proxies.

 -29- 

 
and the Warrants shall be forfeited to the extent set forth in the Warrants and (2) EXCO’s right to terminate this Agreement, the retention of such amounts in the Escrow Account and the
forfeiture of the Warrants shall constitute liquidated damages hereunder, which remedy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to EXCO for any such ESAS Forfeiture Event, termination or failure. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that
(A) EXCO’s actual damages upon the event of such ESAS Forfeiture Event, termination or failure are difficult to ascertain with any certainty, (B) the amounts in the Escrow Account is a fair and reasonable estimate by the Parties of
such aggregate actual damages of EXCO and (C) such liquidated damages do not constitute a penalty. 
 (iii) In the event

reasonably requested by ESAS in order for ESAS to perform and provide the Services and comply with the obligations of ESAS under this Section 5.18. 

(g) In the performance of any Services by ESAS for EXCO, ESAS, its Affiliates, their employees or officers and Wilder (other
than solely in his capacity as a director or as Executive Chairman of EXCO, as applicable) shall be each deemed an independent contractor, free and clear of any dominion or control by EXCO in the manner in which said services are to be performed or
the establishment of hours of labor, and as such ESAS, its Affiliates, their employees or officers and Wilder (other than solely in his capacity as a director or as Executive Chairman of EXCO, as applicable) shall not be, and shall not represent
themselves as, an agent or employee of EXCO or its Affiliates, including for tax purposes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ESAS retains the authority and right to direct and control all the details of ESAS’s performance of the
Services. EXCO shall have no right or authority to supervise or give directions or instructions to the employees, agents, or representatives of ESAS, its Affiliates or Wilder (other than solely in his capacity as a director or as Executive Chairman

 Section 5.20 Agreement to Invest. Subject to applicable Law, from the period after
the Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the ESAS Group shall purchase shares of Common Stock of EXCO through open market purchases from unaffiliated Third Parties such that (when including all or any portion of the
Initial Investment held by the ESAS Group on the Investment Obligation Test Date) shall own, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date, shares of Common Stock of EXCO with an aggregate cost
basis (net of the aggregate cost basis of all shares of Common Stock sold by the ESAS Group during the same period) of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) (such purchases, excluding the Initial Investment, the “Remaining
Investment”); provided, however, (a) ESAS, at its sole option to be exercised by the delivery of written notice to EXCO on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, may extend such deadline by up to three
(3) months from the first anniversary of the Closing Date (such deadline, as validly extended in accordance with this Section 5.20, the “Investment Obligation Test Date”) in the event that the ESAS Group is unable
to purchase and own such shares of Common Stock due to blackout dates (other than normal quarterly blackouts that do not exceed seventy-five (75) days with respect to the last fiscal quarter and forty-five (45) days with respect to the
first, second and third fiscal quarters) or other restrictions under applicable Laws or this Agreement, (b) ESAS shall not be required to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.20 to the extent that such compliance would

Investment, ESAS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the limitations and restrictions set forth in Rule 10b-18(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Within three (3) Business Days after the Investment Obligation Test Date,
ESAS shall submit a certificate stating compliance together with reasonable documentation supporting such compliance. ESAS may make open market purchases or sales of any other EXCO securities at its own discretion. 

Section 5.21 Limitation on Losses. EXCO and ESAS shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith
to determine whether any transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including a Remaining Investment pursuant to Section 5.20 or the vesting, forfeiture or exercise of any Warrants pursuant to the terms of the applicable Form of
Warrant, would, or reasonably would be expected to, cause an ownership change of EXCO under Section 382 of the Code or any comparable provision of any state or local Law, limiting or restricting the utilization of net operating losses of EXCO
(collectively, an “Ownership Change”). If EXCO and ESAS agree that any such transactions would, or reasonably would be expected to cause an Ownership Change, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a
modification mutually acceptable to EXCO and ESAS to avoid such Ownership Change. 
 Section 5.22 Standstill. From the
Execution Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the Termination Date and (b) the Closing Date, unless approved in advance in writing by the Board of Directors and except in connection with the Shareholder Proposals or as otherwise

respective assets or 
 securities, (B) any proposal to seek representation on the Board of Directors or otherwise to seek to control or influence the
management, Board of Directors or policies of EXCO or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to request, call or seek to call a meeting of the stockholders of EXCO, (C) any acquisition of any of EXCO’s or any of its Affiliates’ or
Subsidiaries’ respective loans, debt securities, equity securities or assets, or rights or options to acquire interests in any of EXCO’s or any of its Affiliates’ or Subsidiaries’ loans, debt securities, equity securities or
assets, (D) any request or proposal to waive, terminate or amend the provisions of this Section 5.22 or (E) any proposal, arrangement or other statement that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including this

do, or enter into any discussions or agreements with any Third Party with respect to, any of the actions set forth in clause (i) above; (iii) take any action that reasonably would be expected to require any member of the EXCO Group to make

Article 9, during the twenty (20) Trading Days prior to the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Execution Date, ESAS shall not, and shall cause Wilder and each other member of the ESAS Group acting on behalf of, or in
concert with, ESAS not to, and ESAS shall cause any other Person in which Wilder owns, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting or equity interests not to, in any manner, directly or
indirectly, whether alone or in concert with others, acquire (or propose or agree to acquire), in any manner, directly or indirectly, of record or beneficially, whether alone or in concert with others, any equity securities of EXCO or rights or
options or other convertible securities to acquire interests in any of EXCO’s equity securities, in each case other than the Warrant Shares.

 -46- 

 
or other agents and experts reasonably incident to matters indemnified against, and the costs of prosecution, defense, preparations for defense, investigation and/or monitoring of such matters,
and the costs of enforcement of the indemnity; provided, however, that “Damages” shall not include (i) any adjustment for Taxes that may be assessed on payments under this Article 10 or for Tax benefits received
by the Indemnified Person as a consequence of any Damages, (ii) to the extent provided in Section 11.12, any loss of profits, whether actual or consequential, or other consequential damages suffered by the Party (whether on its own

Section 10.5 Indemnification Actions. All claims for indemnification under Article 10 shall be asserted and resolved as
follows: 
 (a) For purposes of this Article 10, the term “Indemnifying Party” when used in
connection with particular Damages shall mean the Person(s) having an obligation to indemnify another Person(s) with respect to such Damages pursuant to this Article 10, and the term “Indemnified Person” when used in
connection with particular Damages shall mean a Person(s) having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Damages pursuant to this Article 10. 

(b) To make claim for indemnification, defense or reimbursement under this Article 10, EXCO or ESAS, as applicable,
shall notify the Indemnifying Party of its claim, including the specific details (including supporting documentation of the alleged Damages and such Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the applicable claim) of and specific basis under
this Agreement for its claim (the “Claim Notice”). 
 (c) In the event that any claim for indemnification
set forth in any Claim Notice is based upon a claim by a Third Party against the Indemnified Person (a “Third Party Claim”), EXCO or ESAS, as applicable, shall provide its Claim Notice promptly after EXCO or ESAS, as applicable, has
actual knowledge of the Third Party Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Party Claim; 

  
 -47- 

 
provided that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give notice of an Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 10.5 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent such failure results in insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Party to effectively defend against the Third Party Claim or otherwise prejudices the Indemnifying
Party’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim. In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon an alleged inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that was allegedly inaccurate or breached. 
 (d) In the case of a claim for
indemnification based upon an Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Person whether it admits or denies its obligation to defend the Indemnified
Person against such Third Party Claim under this Article 10. The Indemnified Person is authorized, prior to and during such thirty (30) day period, to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate
to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Person within such thirty (30) day period regarding whether the
Indemnifying Party admits or denies its obligation to defend the Indemnified Person, then until such date as the Indemnifying Party admits or it is finally determined by an non-appealable judgment that such obligation exists, the Indemnified Person
may file any motion, answer or other pleading, settle any Third Party Claim or take any other action that the Indemnified Person deems necessary or appropriate to protect its interest, regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced or
adversely impacted by any such actions. 
 (e) If the Indemnifying Party admits its indemnity obligations under this
Article 10 with respect to any Third Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall have (i) the right and obligation to diligently prosecute and control the defense, at its sole cost and expense, the Third Party Claim and
(ii) have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof unless the compromise or settlement includes the payment of any amount (not indemnified by the Indemnifying Party) by, the performance of any
obligation by, or the limitation of any right or benefit of, the Indemnified Person, in which event such settlement or compromise shall not be effective without the consent of the Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Person agrees at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party to cooperate in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Person shall not be required to bring any counterclaim or cross-complaint against any Person. The Indemnified Person may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim
controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10.5(e); provided that the Indemnified Person may file initial pleadings as described in the last sentence of paragraph (c) above if required by court or
procedural rules to do so within the thirty (30) day period in paragraph (c) above. An Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect thereto that (A) does not result in a final resolution of the Indemnified 

  
 -48- 

 
Person’s liability with respect to the Third Party Claim (including, in the case of a settlement, an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Person from all further liability in
respect of such Third Party Claim) or (B) may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity). 

(f) If the Indemnifying Party does not admit its obligation or admits its obligation but fails to diligently defend or settle
the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense against the Third Party Claim (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnified Person is
entitled to indemnification hereunder), with counsel of the Indemnified Person’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to admit its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person and assume the defense of the Third Party
Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has not yet admitted its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Party of
any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option for ten (10) days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its obligation for indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) if
its obligation is so admitted, assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, including the power to reject the proposed settlement. If the Indemnified Person settles any Third Party Claim over the objection of the Indemnifying Party after the
Indemnifying Party has timely admitted its obligation for indemnification in writing and assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall be deemed to have waived any right to indemnity with respect to the Third Party
Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not timely object to the proposed settlement, then the Indemnified Person may accept such settlement and continue to pursue indemnity for all Damages, including such settlement, from the Indemnifying Party. 

(g) In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third Party Claim, (a “Direct Claim”) shall be
asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt Claim Notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of the events that gave rise to such Direct Claim. Such Claim Notice
by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all available material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Damages that have been or
may be sustained by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Damages complained of, (ii) admit its obligation to provide indemnification with
respect to such Damages or (iii) dispute the claim for such Damages. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Person within such sixty (60) day period that it has cured the Damages or that it disputes the claim for such
Damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed obligated to provide indemnification hereunder with respect to such Direct Claim.

 Section 11.4 Dispute Resolution. 

(a) Each Party to this Agreement agrees that any dispute, controversy, matter or claim between the Parties (each, subject to
such exceptions, a “Dispute”), that cannot be resolved among the Parties shall be resolved in accordance with procedures specified herein, which shall constitute the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of Disputes.
Excepting the right of a Party to seek the relief described under Section 11.4(d) below, all Disputes, whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise, shall be resolved by binding, self-administered arbitration pursuant to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), and all such proceedings shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act; provided, however, arbitrators shall be appointed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.4(a). There shall be three (3) arbitrators (“Arbitration Panel”). EXCO shall designate one arbitrator and ESAS shall designate one arbitrator, neither of whom need
be neutral but both of whom must have expertise or experience in the U.S. oil and gas industry, within thirty (30) days of the notification of a Party’s intent to proceed with arbitration hereunder. The two (2) arbitrators so
designated shall elect a third arbitrator, which shall be neutral and have experience or expertise in the U.S. oil and gas industry. If either Party fails to designate an arbitrator within the time specified or the two Parties’ arbitrators fail
to designate the neutral third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed by the AAA using the listing ranking and striking method. 

(b) Each Party shall cooperate in reasonable, prompt discovery prior to presenting the case to the arbitrators. Within thirty
(30) calendar days of the appointment of the arbitrators, they shall establish (i) the scope of discovery and (ii) a limited discovery schedule. All discovery activities shall be conducted under the rules of the AAA. The award of the
Arbitration Panel shall (A) be based on the decision of a majority of the members of the Arbitration Panel, (B) be final and binding upon the Parties, (C) be issued within ninety (90) days after the submittal of the Dispute to
the AAA or as otherwise determined by the Arbitration Panel or the Parties, (D) be in writing, and (E) set forth the factual and legal bases for such award. EXCO shall pay for the expenses incurred by its designated arbitrator, and ESAS
shall pay for the expenses incurred by their designated arbitrator. The costs of the third, neutral arbitrator shall be borne as to one half by EXCO and as to the other half by ESAS. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, subject to the
right of the Arbitration Panel to award attorneys’ fees and costs of the arbitration to any Party. As between the Parties, only damages allowed pursuant to this Agreement may be awarded and, without limiting the foregoing, arbitrators shall
have no authority to award any damages that are excluded under any express provision of the Agreement. Each Party hereby undertakes without delay to implement, perform, or comply with the provisions of any arbitral award or decision. 

(c) The site of any arbitration brought pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall be Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. 

(d) The Parties hereby agree to continue to perform their respective obligations under the Agreement while any Dispute is
pending. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Party may proceed to any court of competent jurisdiction to (i) obtain provisional injunctive, ancillary or other equitable relief if such action is necessary to avoid irreparable
harm or to preserve the status quo pending the resolution of the Dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.4 or (ii) enter and enforce any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitration Panel in accordance with
applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitration of the underlying Dispute shall proceed in accordance with the terms hereof during the pendency of the proceeding to obtain such provisional injunctive, ancillary or other equitable
relief.

PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON EXCEPT RECOURSE TO COURTS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ARBITRAL AWARDS OR OTHER ORDER OF THE ARBITRATORS ISSUED IN AN ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 11.4 OR SEEKING ANY INTERIM OR
CONSERVATORY MEASURES OF THE RULES OF ARBITRATION OF THE AAA OR DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 11.4. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO BRING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING SEEKING TO ENFORCE ANY ARBITRAL AWARD OR OTHER
ORDER OF THE ARBITRATORS ISSUED IN AN ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 11.4 OR SEEKING ANY INTERIM OR CONSERVATORY MEASURES PURSUANT TO THE RULES OF ARBITRATION OF THE AAA AGAINST ANY PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION PERMITTED BY LAW.

 Section 11.5 Headings and Construction. The headings and captions herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and
are not intended to govern, limit or aid in the construction of any term or provision hereof. The rights and obligations of each Party shall be determined pursuant to this Agreement. ESAS and EXCO have had the opportunity to exercise business
discretion in relation to the negotiation of the details and terms of the transaction contemplated hereby. This Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations from equal bargaining positions. It is the intention of the Parties that every
covenant, term and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party (notwithstanding any rule of law requiring an agreement to be strictly construed against the drafting
Party) and no consideration shall be given or presumption made, on the basis of who drafted this Agreement or any particular provision thereof, it being understood that the Parties to this Agreement are sophisticated and have had adequate
opportunity and means to exercise business discretion in relation to the negotiation of the details of the transaction contemplated hereby and retain counsel to represent their interests and to otherwise negotiate the provisions of this Agreement.

 Section 11.6 Waivers. Any failure by any Party to comply with any of its obligations, agreements or conditions herein
contained may be waived by the Party to whom such compliance is owed by the application of the express terms hereof of by an instrument signed by the Party to whom compliance is owed and expressly identified as a waiver, but not in any other manner.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver of, or consent to a change in or modification of, any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of, or consent to a change in or modification, other

	Re:	EXCO Resources, Inc. - Waiver of Registration Rights 

 Dear Investor: 

As you know, EXCO Resources, Inc. (“EXCO”) intends to file a post-effective amendment to its Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-193660) that registered certain shares of EXCO’s common stock that were owned by you or your affiliates and was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 30, 2014, to convert the
Registration Statement to a non-automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”). You are a party to the First Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement originally dated as of
October 3, 2005, as amended and restated as of December 30, 2005 (the “2005 Registration Rights Agreement”), and the Registration Rights Agreement dated March 28, 2007 in respect of 7.0% Cumulative Convertible
Perpetual Preferred Stock and Hybrid Preferred Stock (the “2007 Registration Rights Agreement”). As such, you have the right to register shares of EXCO’s common stock that are owned by you or your affiliates in the
Post-Effective Amendment. 
 EXCO understands that you do not wish to include your shares of EXCO’s common stock in the Post-Effective
Amendment and EXCO requests that, on behalf of you and your affiliates, you irrevocably waive your rights under the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement and the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement. Accordingly, by signing this waiver you agree that
you, on behalf of yourself and each of your affiliates, irrevocably waive any and all of your rights pursuant to the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement and the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement solely as it relates to the registration of shares of
EXCO’s common stock owned by you or your affiliates in the Post-Effective Amendment. 
 Please indicate your agreement with the
foregoing by signing below. 
  

	
	Very truly yours,
	
	 

	William L. Boeing
	Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

 “ARTICLE XVIII 

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES 

The Directors, their respective affiliates who are not also employees of the Corporation and any investment funds or companies that they may
now own or manage or may hereafter form or acquire (collectively, the “Specified Persons”) may own, currently or in the future, equity and other interests in other entities (existing and future) that participate in the energy
business or industry (“Industry Companies”) and may enter into agreements from time to time with Industry Companies. The Specified Persons may also serve as employees, partners, officers, directors, members, managers, or
principals of, or advisors to, Industry Companies and, at any given time, the Specified Persons may be in direct or indirect competition with the Corporation or its subsidiaries. 

  
 3 

 The Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunities that involve
any aspect of the energy business or industry that are presented to or become known to any Specified Person and waives the application of the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, with respect to the Corporation and its
subsidiaries, to the Specified Persons. The Specified Persons shall have no duty or obligation to communicate or offer any such business opportunity to the Corporation or its subsidiaries and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall
not be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any stockholder or creditor of the Corporation, including for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, by reason of the fact that such Specified Person pursues or acquires such business
opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries. 

Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Specified Persons shall have any obligation to refrain from (i) purchasing, selling,
exploring, developing or exploiting any oil, gas or other hydrocarbon or mineral asset or any other asset relating to or used in the energy business or industry, (ii) engaging in or managing the same or similar activities or lines of business
as the Corporation or its subsidiaries or developing or marketing any products or services that compete, directly or indirectly, with those of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, (iii) investing or owning any interest publicly or privately in,
or developing a business relationship with, any Industry Company or any other person engaged in the same or similar activities or lines of business as, or otherwise in competition with, the Corporation or its subsidiaries (each, a
“Competing Person”), (iv) doing business with any client or customer or supplier of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, or (v) entering into any agreement to provide any services to any Competing Person or acting
as an employee, partner, officer, director, member, manager, or principal of, or advisor to, any Competing Person or Industry Company, regardless (in the case of each of (i) – (v)) whether such activities are in direct or indirect
competition with the business or activities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (each of the activities referred to in clauses (i)-(v), a “Specified Activity”). To the maximum extent permitted by law, the
Corporation renounces on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries any interest or expectancy in any Specified Activity, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in any Specified Activity, that may be presented to or become known to any
Specified Person. 
 Any proposed amendment to this Article XVIII shall require the approval of at least 67% of the outstanding voting
stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Neither the amendment or repeal of this Article XVIII, nor the adoption of any provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any modification of law, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of any Specified Person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that
occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed). 

If any provision or provisions of this Article XVIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for
any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XVIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this
Article XVIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent
possible, the provisions of this Article XVIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article XVIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit
the Corporation to protect the Specified Persons from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

  
 4 

 This Article XVIII shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification
or advancement rights of, any Specified Person under this Certificate of Formation or Bylaws of the Corporation, applicable law or contract. 

If any code of conduct or other policy of the Corporation or its subsidiaries is inconsistent with this Article XVIII, this Article XVIII
shall control and any conduct permitted by this Article XVIII shall not be a violation of such code or policy.” 
 THREE: Each
amendment made by this Certificate of Formation has been effected in accordance with the provisions of the TBOC and the governing documents of the Corporation and has been approved in the manner required by the TBOC and the governing documents of
the Corporation. 
 FOUR: The Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation are hereby superseded by the Certificate of Formation that
is set forth as Exhibit A, which accurately copies the entire text thereof as amended by this Certificate of Formation. This Certificate of Formation does not contain any other change in the Articles of Incorporation, except for the
information permitted to be omitted by Section 3.059(b) of the TBOC applicable to the Corporation.

under the TBOC, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation

 9

the performance of their duties as directors of a corporation, then a Director of the Corporation shall not be liable for any such acts or omissions to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this
Article XIV shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing immediately prior to such repeal or modification.

Any action required by the TBOC, as amended, to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders, or any action that may be taken at

now own or manage or may hereafter form or acquire (collectively, the “Specified Persons”) may own, currently or in the future, equity and other interests in other entities (existing and future) that participate in the energy
business or industry (“Industry Companies”) and may enter into agreements from time to time with Industry Companies. The Specified Persons may also serve as employees, partners, officers, directors, members, managers, or

refrain from (i) purchasing, selling, exploring, developing or exploiting any oil, gas or other hydrocarbon or mineral asset or any other asset relating to or used in the energy business or industry, (ii) engaging in or managing the same

Warrant. 
 (a) Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised from time to time on any Business Day during the Exercise

 (i) surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then
principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with a Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a
“Notice of Exercise”), duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and 

(ii) payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof. 

(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder
as expressed in the Notice of Exercise, by the following methods: 
 (i) by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank
check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price; 

(ii) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair
Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price; 
 (iii) by surrendering to the Company Common Stock,
including Warrant Shares previously acquired by the Holder, with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price; provided, that such payment will not conflict with, or result in a breach or
violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (in each case, with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or result, in the acceleration of, or the creation of any lien under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement or other agreement, instrument, contract or other arrangement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject; or 
 (iv) any combination of the foregoing. 

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above where the number of shares whose
value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share (the fractional amount that is needed to round up to the whole share,
“Incremental Fraction”), and the Company shall make a cash payment to the 

  
 - 6 - 

 
Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) in an amount equal to the product of (x) such Incremental Fraction multiplied by
(y) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the Exercise Date. 
 (c) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Upon
receipt by the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five
(5) Business Days thereafter, execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any
fraction of a share, as provided in Section 4(d) hereof. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the
Notice of Exercise and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 6 hereof, such Person’s name as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised and such certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for
all purposes, as of the Exercise Date. 
 (d) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant Share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a
certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share on the Exercise Date. 

(e) Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully
exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 4(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of
the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.  

(f) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company
hereby represents, covenants and agrees: 
 (i) this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this
Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued; 
 (ii) all Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of
any preemptive or similar rights of any shareholder of the Company; 

  
 - 7 - 

 (iii) the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such
Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may
be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance); and 

(iv) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Warrant Shares, immediately upon such exercise, to be listed on
any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares are listed at the time of such exercise. 

(g) Conditional Exercise. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be
made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such
exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. 
 (h)
Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. 
 5. Adjustment Exercise Price and to Number of Warrant Shares. The
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 5 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this
Section 5). 
 (a) Dividends, Subdivision and Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or
from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities or cash or other property or (ii) subdivide (by any
stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under
this Section 5(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective. 

  
 - 8 - 

 (b) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a
result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person
or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 5(a) hereof), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities
or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in
addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such
transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or
restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions
of this Section 5 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any
consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such
consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so
reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the
successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant
and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5(b), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation
of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 2 hereof instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 5(b) with respect to this Warrant. 

  
 - 9 - 

 (c) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this
Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an
appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 5; provided,
that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5. 

(d) Certificate as to Adjustment. 

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than fifteen
(15) days thereafter, the Company shall furnish the Holder with notice setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof. 

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not
later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of
stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. 
 (e) Notices. In the event: 

(i) that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive
any other security; 
 (ii) of any Change in Control; 

(iii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of
the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person; or 
 (iv) of
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; 
 then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be
sent to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such
dividend, distribution, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken or (B) the effective date on which such Change in Control, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place and a brief description of such event, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to
which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities 

  
 - 10 - 

 
at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. 

6. Transfer of Warrant. Prior to all of the Warrant Shares becoming exercisable or being cancelled and forfeited in accordance
with Section 2(b) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part; provided, however, the Holder may assign or transfer this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in
whole or in part, to any Affiliate of the Holder, upon written request by the Holder, and written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After all of the Warrant Shares have become exercisable or have been cancelled
and forfeited in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part. Holder shall not effect any such assignment or transfer pursuant to this
Section 6 unless (i) such assignment or transfer complies with all federal and state securities laws and all assignment or transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon and (ii) Holder surrenders this Warrant to
the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, consent, surrender and
delivery, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of such Person or Persons and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion
of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Any attempt to assign or transfer this Warrant or any rights hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 shall be null and void.

 7. Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior
to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital

Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act. 

  
 5 

 The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2.1(b) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2. 

(c) The Company shall from time to time and by the date that is 20 calendar days after receiving a request by any Initial
Holder or any of its Affiliates (and any such Person who is not a Holder may become a “Holder” hereunder by executing a Joinder Agreement) use its best efforts to prepare and file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be
converted into a Form S-3 promptly after Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling shareholders (not underwriters) of all of the Common Shares purchased prior to the deadline for making the Remaining
Investment in Section 5.20 of the Services and Investment Agreement and not previously registered pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) (a “Resale Registration”); provided, that (i) there shall not be more than one such
request during each of the Company’s fiscal quarterly periods and (ii) the Registrable Securities to be registered must include at least 1,000,000 Common Shares, or, in the aggregate, have an anticipated offering price of more than
$5,000,000, calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act on the business day preceding such request. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by the date that is
90 calendar days after receiving such request or sooner, if practicable, and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective through the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Registration are no longer
Registrable Securities. The Company shall, on the business day following the effective date of the Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act. 

The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1(c) shall be in addition to the registration
rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required under this Agreement to file, amend or request acceleration of a Registration Statement for any offering that pursuant to SEC Guidance would be deemed to constitute a primary offering of
securities by the Company. In the event that, as a result of the operation of the preceding sentence, the Company cannot include all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement, then the Company shall include in the Registration
Statement the maximum number of Registrable Securities that can be included therein without causing the Registration Statement to be deemed to register a primary offering by the Company, with the number of Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement allocated first pro rata among the Holders who are not Affiliates of the Company up to the maximum number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, and second pro rata among the Holders who are Affiliates
of the Company; provided, however, that Registrable Securities of non-Affiliates of the Company may be reduced non-pro rata or excluded from a Registration Statement if SEC Guidance identifies those Holders as participating in
an indirect primary offering of securities. With respect to any Registrable Securities that are not included in the Registration Statement, other than Registrable Securities held by any Affiliates of the Company (the “Excluded
Securities”), the Company shall include the Excluded Securities in a subsequently filed second Registration Statement (the “Additional Registration Statement”) that is filed on the earliest possible date on which Excluded
Securities can be included in the Additional Registration Statement without the Additional Registration Statement being deemed to register a primary offering of securities by the Company; provided that such Additional Registration Statement
shall be filed no later than six months from the date the initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Additional Filing Date”), and provided, further, if the Company is advised by the SEC that the
inclusion of all Excluded Securities in the Additional Registration Statement would cause the Additional Registration Statement to be deemed a registration of a primary offering by the Company, then such Additional Registration Statement shall
include only the maximum number of Excluded Securities that could be included in such Registration Statement without it being deemed to be a registration for a primary offering by the Company, and a further Additional Registration Statement shall be
filed as provided for in this Section 2.1(d) for the balance of the Excluded Securities, except that the Additional Filing Date shall be no later than six months from the date the SEC declares the immediately preceding Additional Registration
Statement effective.

	 	2.2.	Demand Registration. 

 (a) In addition to the rights provided in
Section 2.1, the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company register all or part of such Holders’ Registrable Securities that are not then registered by an effective Registration Statement (a
“Request”) (which Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holders and the intended method of disposition thereof) by filing a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be
converted into a Form S-3 promptly after Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling shareholders (not underwriters) of all or such portion of the Registrable Securities (a “Demand
Registration”); provided, however, that (A) if the Company is not eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall be obligated to register the Registrable Securities
upon such election only if the Registrable Securities to be registered, in the aggregate, constitute 10% or more of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities that are not registered under an effective Registration Statement, and (B) if the
Company is eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall be obligated to register the Registrable Securities upon such election; provided, that (i) there shall not be more than one such
request during each of the Company’s fiscal quarterly periods and (ii) the Registrable Securities to be registered must include at least 1,000,000 Common Shares, or, in the aggregate, have an anticipated offering price, net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, of more than $5,000,000, calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act on the business day preceding such Request. 

(b) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 10 days after receipt of a Request, the Company shall give written notice of
such requested registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Holders of Pari Passu Securities. Subject to Section 2.2(c), the Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to
be disposed of by the Initiating Holders and (ii) the Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder or Pari Passu Holder which shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the
amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within 20 days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company. The Company shall,
as expeditiously as possible following a Request, use its best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities and the Pari Passu
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders and Pari Passu Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods
of disposition thereof specified in such Request or further requests if so requested. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such
Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b). 
 The registration
rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2. 

(c) Priority in Demand Registrations. If a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, and the sole or lead
managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that,
in its opinion, the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Majority Holders of the Registration (such writing
to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of Registrable Securities which may be included in such offering), the Company shall include in such Demand Registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may
be included in such offering, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the Holders allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be
included in such Demand Registration by each of the Holders and Pari Passu Holders. In the event the Company shall not, by virtue of this Section 2.2(c), include in any Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder
requesting to be included in such Demand Registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within five days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to
have included in such Demand Registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders and Pari Passu Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the
amount of Registrable Securities or Pari Passu Securities to be included in such Demand Registration. 

  
 7 

 (d) Underwriting; Selection of Underwriters. If the Initiating Holders so
elect, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of a firm commitment Underwritten Offering; and such Initiating Holders may require that all Persons (including other Holders and Pari Passu
Holders) participating in such registration sell their Registrable Securities or Pari Passu Securities to the Underwriters at the same price and on the same terms of underwriting applicable to the Initiating Holders. If any Request involves an
Underwritten Offering, the sole or managing Underwriters and any additional investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with such registration shall be selected by the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
for which registration was requested in the Request, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). 

(e) Registration of Other Securities. Whenever the Company shall effect a Demand Registration, no securities other than
the Registrable Securities or Pari Passu Securities shall be covered by such registration unless the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities. 

 

	 	2.3.	Incidental Registration.  

 (a) Right to Include
Registrable Securities. Subject to the permissibility of registering additional Registrable Securities pursuant to SEC Guidance, if at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and if
the Company shall determine to register Common Shares under the Securities Act (other than in a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms and other than pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2) and files (i) a shelf
registration statement or (ii) a registration statement, other than a shelf registration statement, or proposes to do a take down off of an effective shelf registration statement, whether or not pursuant to registration rights granted to other
holders of its securities and whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall deliver prompt written notice (which notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the filing of such registration statement or 5 days prior to the filing
of any preliminary prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b), or the prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) (if no preliminary prospectus supplement is used)) to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to undertake such
registration or offering, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration and distribution (including the anticipated range of the proposed offering price, the class and number of securities proposed to be registered and the distribution
arrangements) and of such Holders’ right to participate in such registration under this Section 2.3 as hereinafter provided. Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (a) and Section 2.3(b), upon the written request of
any Holder made within ten days in the case of a registration statement, or three days in the case of a prospectus supplement or preliminary prospectus supplement, after the receipt of such written notice (which request shall specify the amount
of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities requested by Holders to be so registered (an
“Incidental Registration”), to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable
Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register and shall cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective with respect to such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
registration procedures set forth in Section 4; provided, however, that other than in connection with an Incidental Registration involving an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement. If the Holders of any Registrable Securities that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement have requested to participate in an
Incidental Registration involving an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.3(a), the Company may in its option effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and the participation of such Holders in the Underwritten Offering
by any means allowable under the Securities Act, including the use of a prospectus pursuant to Rule 429. If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, immediately upon notification to the Company from the Underwriter of the price
at which such securities are to be sold, the Company shall so advise each participating Holder. The Holders requesting inclusion in an Incidental Registration may, at any time up to and including the time of pricing of the Incidental Registration
Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion. 

If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and up to and including the time of
pricing of the Incidental Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written
notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with
such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the 

  
 8 

 
rights of Holders to cause such registration to be effected as a registration under Section 2.3 and (B) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, the Company shall be
permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities; provided, however, that if such delay shall extend beyond 120 days from the date the Company
received a request to include Registrable Securities in such Incidental Registration, then the Company shall again give all Holders the opportunity to participate therein and shall follow the notification procedures set forth in the preceding
paragraph. There is no limitation on the number of such Incidental Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3 which the Company is obligated to effect. 

The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall be in addition to the registration
rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 hereof. 
 (b) Priority in Incidental
Registration. If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering (on a firm commitment basis), and the sole or the lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing
(with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) requested to be included in
such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering without materially interfering with the successful marketing of the securities being offered (such writing to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of such
securities which may be included in such offering without such effect), the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may be included in such offering without such effect, (i) in the
case of a registration initiated by the Company, (A) first, the securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, (B) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and
any Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among such Holders and Pari Passu Holders requesting such registration, in proportion to the number of Registrable
Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, and (C), third, other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other Person, (ii) in the case of a registration initiated by
a Pari Passu Holder, (A) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pari passu basis, allocated pro
rata among such Holders and Pari Passu Holders requesting such registration, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, (B) second, the
securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account and (iii) in the case of a registration initiated by a Person other than the Company or a Pari Passu Holder, (A) first, the securities of such Persons, (B) second,
the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and any Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration on a pari passu basis, allocated pro rata among such Holders and Pari
Passu Holders requesting such registration, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities and Pari Passu Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them, and (C) third, the securities that the Company proposes
to register for its own account, provided, however, that in the event the Company will not, by virtue of this Section 2.3(b), include in any such registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder requested to be
included in such registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within three days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such
registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in
such registration. 
  

	 	2.4.	Expenses.  

 The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
any Demand Registration, Incidental Registration or Resale Registration, whether or not such registration shall become effective. 
  

	 	2.5.	Underwritten Offerings.  

 (a) Underwritten Offerings.
If requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter for any Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Resale Registration, the Company shall enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for such
offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Majority Holders of the Registration and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements
of that type, including, without limitation, indemnification and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5. 

  
 9 

 (b) Holders of Registrable Securities to be Parties to Underwriting Agreement. The Holders
of Registrable Securities to be distributed by Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2 shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such Underwriters and may, at such Holders’ option,
require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders of Registrable Securities
and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such Underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a selling Holder for inclusion in the Registration Statement. No Holder shall be required to make any
representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of
disposition. 
 (c) Participation in Underwritten Registration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell its securities on the same terms and conditions provided in any underwritten arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangement and (ii) accurately completes and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements. 
  

	 	2.6.	Conversions; Exercises. 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
order for any Registrable Securities that are issuable upon the exercise of conversion rights, options or warrants, other than the Initial Holder Warrants, to be included in any registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the exercise of such
conversion rights, options or warrants must be effected no later than immediately prior to the closing of any sales under the Registration Statement pursuant to which such Registrable Securities are to be sold. 

 

	 	2.7.	Postponements. 

 The Company shall be entitled to postpone a Resale Registration
and a Demand Registration and to require the Holders of Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their securities covered by a shelf registration statement during any Blackout Period (as defined below) (i) if the board of
directors of the Company determines in good faith that effecting such a registration or continuing such disposition at such time would have a material adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all (or substantially all) of the assets of the Company or
a merger, reorganization, recapitalization or similar current transaction materially affecting the capital structure or equity ownership of the Company, or (ii) if the Company is in possession of material information which the board of
directors of the Company determines in good faith it is not in the best interests of the Company to disclose in a registration statement at such time; provided, however, that the Company may only delay a Resale Registration or Demand
Registration pursuant to this Section 2.7 by delivery of a Blackout Notice (as defined below) and may delay a Resale Registration or a Demand Registration and require the Holders of Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their
securities covered by a shelf registration statement only for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days (or such earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer proposed or the material information has been made public)
(the “Blackout Period”). The Blackout Period is in addition to any normal quarterly blackouts that may apply to directors and officers of the Company pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy, then in effect. There shall
not be more than one Blackout Period in any 12 month period. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing (a “Blackout Notice”) of any decision to postpone a Demand Registration or a Resale Registration or to
discontinue sales of Registrable Securities covered by a shelf registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.7 and shall include a general statement of the reason for such postponement, an approximation of the anticipated delay and an
undertaking by the Company promptly to notify the Holders as soon as a Demand Registration or a Resale Registration may be effected or sales of Registrable Securities covered by a shelf registration statement may resume. In making any such
determination to initiate or terminate a Blackout Period, the Company shall not be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Holder, and any such determination shall be the Company’s sole responsibility. Each Holder shall treat all
notices received from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.7 constituting material inside information in the strictest confidence and shall not trade on or disseminate such information. If the Company shall postpone the filing of a Demand
Registration Statement or a Resale Registration Statement, the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration. Any such withdrawal shall be made by giving written notice to the Company within 30
days after receipt of the Blackout Notice.

	3.	HOLDBACK ARRANGEMENTS.  

  

	 	3.1.	Restrictions on Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. 

 Each Holder of Registrable
Securities agrees, by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, if timely requested in writing by the sole or lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering of any Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Resale
Registration), not to make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or effect any public sale or distribution, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision having similar effect) under the Securities
Act of any Registrable Securities or any other equity security of the Company (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company) (except as part of such underwritten registration), during the
five business days (as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) prior to, and during the time period reasonably requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter not to exceed 90 days beginning on the effective date of
the applicable Registration Statement, unless the sole or lead managing Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering otherwise agrees; provided, however, that to the extent the Company or the sole lead managing Underwriter releases any
other Person from the foregoing or equivalent restrictions in whole or in part it shall, on the same day, notify the Holders of such release and such parties shall automatically be released to the same extent: provided, further, this holdback
restriction shall apply only to those Holders of Registrable Securities who have elected to sell Registrable Securities they hold in an Underwritten Offering in respect of which a holdback is requested by the managing Underwriter. 

 

	 	3.2.	Restrictions on Sale by the Company and Others.  

 The Company agrees that if
timely requested in writing by the sole or lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering of any Registrable Securities (other than in connection with a Resale Registration), not to make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of or effect any public or private sale or distribution of any of the Company’s equity securities (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of the Company’s equity securities) during the five
business days (as such term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) prior to, and during the time period reasonably requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter not to exceed 90 days beginning on the effective date of the
applicable Registration Statement (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms), unless the sole or lead managing Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering
otherwise agrees. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each director and officer of the Company and each holder of 5% or more of the equity securities (or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of
its equity securities) of the Company to so agree. 
  

	4.	REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. 

  

	 	4.1.	Obligations of the Company. 

 Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration
of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: 

(a) prepare and file with the SEC the requisite Registration Statement to effect such registration, which Registration
Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective (provided, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities that are not Registrable Securities, and, under the circumstances specified in Sections 2.3 or 2.7, its securities
that are Registrable Securities); provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, or comparable statements under securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction,
the Company shall (i) provide Holders’ Counsel and any other Inspector with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein (and each amendment
or supplement thereto or comparable statement) to be filed with the SEC, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of Holders’ Counsel, and (ii) not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or
supplement thereto or comparable statement) with the SEC to which Holder’s Counsel, any selling Holder or any other Inspector shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such filing does not comply in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act or of the rules or regulations thereunder; 

  
 11 

 (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective, and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 
 (c) furnish, without charge, to each selling Holder of such
Registrable Securities and each Underwriter, if any, of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), and the
Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and other documents, as such selling Holder and Underwriter may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder (the Company hereby consenting to the use in accordance with applicable law of each such Registration Statement (or amendment or
post-effective amendment thereto) and each such Prospectus (or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) by each such selling Holder of Registrable Securities and the Underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus); 
 (d) prior to any public offering of
Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any
selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, may reasonably request to enable such selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder and to continue such registration or qualification in effect in each such jurisdiction for as long as such Registration Statement remains in effect (including through new filings or amendments or
renewals), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable any such selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such selling Holder;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4.1(d), (ii) subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

(e) use its best efforts to obtain all other approvals, consents, exemptions or authorizations from such governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the selling Holders of such Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

(f) promptly notify Holders’ Counsel, each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any: (i) when the Registration Statement, any pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been
filed and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities or blue sky authority for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus related thereto or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or threat of any proceedings
for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation of
any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the existence of any fact of which the Company becomes aware or the happening of any event which results in (A) the Registration Statement containing an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statements therein not misleading, or (B) the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement containing an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi) if at any time the representations and warranties
contemplated by Section 2.5(b) cease to be true and correct in all material respects, and (vii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate or that there
exists circumstances not yet disclosed to the public which make further sales under such Registration Statement inadvisable pending such disclosure and post-effective amendment; and, if the notification relates to an event described in any of the
clauses (ii) through (vii) of this Section 4.1(f), the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or
file any other required document so that (1) such Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and (2) as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities 

  
 12 

 
being sold thereunder, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

“Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and any subsidiaries thereof as may be in existence at such time (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be
necessary, in the opinion of such Holders’ and such Underwriters’ respective counsel, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility and to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act,
provided that such parties agree to keep such information confidential, and cause the Company’s and any subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Inspectors in connection with such Registration Statement; 
 (h) if requested by the
Majority Holders of the Registration in connection with an Underwritten Offering, obtain an opinion from the Company’s counsel and a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent public accountants who have certified the
Company’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, in each case dated the the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily
covered by such opinions and “cold comfort” letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinion and letter shall be reasonably satisfactory to the sole or lead managing Underwriter and to the Majority Holders
of the Registration, and furnish to each Holder participating in the offering and to each Underwriter a copy of such opinion and letter addressed to such Holder (in the case of the opinion) and Underwriter (in the case of the opinion and the
“cold comfort” letter); 
 (i) provide a CUSIP number for all Initial Holder Warrants and provide and cause to be

(i) commencing at the end of any month in which Registrable Securities are sold to Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering and (ii) commencing with the first day of the Company’s calendar month next succeeding each sale of
Registrable Securities after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month periods, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

 13 

 (o) if so requested, furnish to each Holder participating in the offering
and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein
by reference and all exhibits (including those deemed to be incorporated by reference); 
 (p) cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the sole or lead managing Underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive legends representing the Registrable Securities to be sold,
and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting agreement prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the Underwriters or, if not an Underwritten Offering,
in accordance with the instructions of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities at least three business days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities; 

(q) if requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter or any selling Holder of Registrable Securities, immediately
incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information concerning such Holder of Registrable Securities, the Underwriters or the intended method of distribution as the sole or lead managing Underwriter or the selling
Holder of Registrable Securities reasonably requests to be included therein and as is appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of shares of the Registrable
Securities being sold to the Underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such Underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; make all required
filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if
requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter of such Registrable Securities; and 
 (r) use its best efforts to
take all other steps necessary to expedite or facilitate the registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. 
  

	 	4.2.	Seller Information. 

 The Company may require each selling Holder of Registrable
Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder, such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of disposition as the Company may from time
to time reasonably request in writing; provided that such information shall be used only in connection with such registration. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in a Registration
Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has furnished such information to the Company. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information provided to the Company will be
used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement. 

If any Registration Statement or comparable statement under “blue sky” laws refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the Holder
of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such
securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial
requirements of the Company, and (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not in the judgment of the Company, as advised by counsel, required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute or any state
“blue sky” or securities law then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder. 
  

	 	4.3.	Notice to Discontinue.  

 Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by
acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.1(f)(ii) through (vii), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such 

  
 14 

 
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(f) and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at
the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give
any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred to in Section 4.1(b)) by the number of
days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 4.1(f) to and including the date when the Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by and
meeting the requirements of Section 4.1(f). 
  

	5.	INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION.  

  

	 	5.1.	Indemnification by the Company.  

 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, employees, Affiliates and agents (collectively, “Agents”) and each Person who
controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and its Agents with respect to each registration which has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) in respect thereof, and expenses (as incurred or suffered and including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any litigation or
proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of legal counsel) in respect thereof (collectively, “Claims”), insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to any such registration or any omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company
and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, or any qualification or compliance incident thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such Claims arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein, (ii) the failure of a Holder to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent Prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
or (iii) the failure of a Holder otherwise to comply with this Agreement. The Company shall also indemnify any Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their Agents and each Person who controls any such Underwriter (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Person who may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 and shall survive the transfer of securities by such Holder or Underwriter. 
  

	 	5.2.	Indemnification by Holders. 

 Each Holder, if Registrable Securities held by it are
included in the securities as to which a registration is being effected, agrees to, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, each other Person who
participates as an Underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and its Agents and each Person who controls the Company or any such Underwriter (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) and its Agents against any and all Claims, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any
preliminary, final or summary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto) related to such registration, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was based upon (i) and made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein, (ii) the failure of a Holder to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or
(iii) the failure of a Holder otherwise to comply with this Agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate amount which any such Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall in no event be greater than
the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims less all amounts previously paid by such Holder with respect to any such Claims.
Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder or Underwriter. 

  
 15 

	 	5.3.	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  

 Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party of notice of any Claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Claim under this Section 5, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant
to Section 5, (i) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying
party of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 5, and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party within 10 days after receiving notice from such
indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the
indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not
have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such indemnified party) or (D) such indemnified party is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party and reasonably shall have
concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no indemnifying party shall be permitted to consent to entry of any
judgment with respect to, or to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or
potential party to such action or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (2) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (3) does not provide for any action on the part of any party other than the payment of money damages which is to be paid in
full by the indemnifying party. 
  

	 	5.4.	Contribution.  

 If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or 5.2
from the indemnifying party for any reason is unavailable to (other than by reason of exceptions provided therein), or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Claim, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand,
and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the foregoing allocation is not permitted by
applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, any legal or other fees,
costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to
this Section 5.4 to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims, less all amounts
previously paid by such indemnifying party with respect to such Claims. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

  
 16 

	 	5.5.	Other Indemnification. 

 Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each selling Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or
regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or
contract. 
  

	 	5.6.	Indemnification Payments. 

 The indemnification and contribution required by this
Section 5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. 

 

	6.	GENERAL. 

  

	 	6.1.	Registration Rights to Others.  

 If the Company shall at any time
hereafter provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act, such rights shall not be in conflict with any of the rights provided in this Agreement to the
Holders. 
  

	 	6.2.	Availability of Information; Rule 144; Other Exemptions 

 The Company covenants that it
shall timely file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including, but not limited to, the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act), and that it shall take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any other rule or regulation now existing or hereafter adopted by
the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 

 

	 	6.3.	Amendments and Waivers. 

 The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders, provided, however, that no such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent to departure shall reduce the aforesaid percentage of Registrable Securities without the written consent of all of the Holders of Registrable Securities; and provided, further, that to the
extent any Holder would be disproportionately adversely affected by such amendment or waiver, then such Holder’s consent shall also be required. Nothing herein shall prohibit any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or
consent to departure the adverse effect of which is limited only to those Holders who have agreed to such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent to departure. 

 

	 	6.4.	Notices. 

 All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall
be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person, by telecopy, by facsimile, by nationally-recognized overnight courier, or by first class registered or certified

	 	6.5.	Successors and Assigns. 

 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns (including any permitted transferee of Registrable Securities). Any Holder may assign to any transferee of its Registrable Securities (other than a transferee that
acquires such Registrable Securities in a registered public offering or pursuant to a sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule)), its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if any
transferee shall take and hold Registrable Securities, such transferee shall promptly notify the Company and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall automatically be entitled to receive the benefits of and be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were a party hereto (and shall, for all purposes, be deemed a Holder under this Agreement). If the Company shall so request,
any heir, successor or assign (including any transferee) shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the terms hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “successor” for any entity other than a
natural person shall mean a successor to such entity as a result of such entity’s merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets, or similar transaction. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the Company may consent to
and permit, without any further action of the Initial Holders, any Person who subsequently acquires Common Shares and/or Initial Holder Warrants to become a “Holder” hereunder by executing a Joinder Agreement, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
  

	 	6.6.	Counterparts. 

 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, .pdf or other electronic transmission of copies of signatures shall
constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement and any enforcement hereof. 

  
 18 

	 	6.7.	Descriptive Headings, Etc.  

 The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of terms contained herein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (1) words of any gender shall be deemed to include each other gender; (2) words using
the singular or plural number shall also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (3) the words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section and paragraph references are to the Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (4) the word “including” and words
of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (5) “or” is not exclusive; and (6) provisions apply to successive events and transactions. 

 

	 	6.8.	Severability.  

 In the event that any one or more of the provisions, paragraphs, words,
clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision, paragraph,
word, clause, phrase or sentence in every other respect and of the other remaining provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof shall not be in any way impaired, it being intended that all rights, powers and privileges of the
parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
  

	 	6.9.	Governing Law.  

 This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
domestic laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas
to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Texas will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the
substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. 
  

	 	6.10.	Remedies; Specific Performance.  

 The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity,
shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or
any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. Except as otherwise
provided by law, a delay or omission by a party hereto in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon any such breach shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy shall be exclusive of
any other remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative. The failure to file a Resale Registration Statement within the time periods specified in Section 2.1 or a Demand Registration Statement within 120 days of a Request under
Section 2.2 shall and each shall constitute, in the absence of an injunction or a Blackout Period having been imposed or a withdrawn Request, a breach thereof entitling the Holders to remedies hereunder. 

 

	 	6.11.	Entire Agreement. 

 This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of
their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties,
covenants or undertakings relating to such subject matter, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Company and the other parties to this Agreement with respect
to such subject matter. 

  
 19 

	 	6.12.	Nominees for Beneficial Owners. 

 In the event that any Registrable Securities are held
by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any holder
or holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the
beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities. 

 

	 	6.13.	Consent to Jurisdiction. 

 (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself or himself and its or his property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas state court sitting in Dallas county or federal court of the United States of America sitting in Dallas county, and
any appellate court presiding thereover, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such Texas state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in any such federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action 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. 

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it or he may legally and
effectively do so, any objection that it or he may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder in any State or
federal court sitting in Dallas county. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. The parties hereto
further agree that the notice of any process required by any such court in the manner set forth in Section 6.3 shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by
law. 
  

	 	6.14.	Further Assurances. 

 Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and
performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
  

	 	6.15.	No Inconsistent Agreements. 

 The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement
which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. 
  

	 	6.16.	Construction.

 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
