THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 2, 2011 (the

BACKGROUND: 
 WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has appointed the Investor to serve as Vice President, Corporate Development of the Company; and

the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase for cash, at a price per share equal to $568.00 (the “Purchase Price”), the Shares. The Investor shall make payment for such Shares in cash in the amount of $99,968.00 by check made
payable to the Corporation or by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Corporation in writing to the Investor prior to the Closing or by such other payment as is mutually agreed to by the Investor and the Corporation. 

ARTICLE II 

CLOSING 

Section 2.1 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall be subject to, and shall occur immediately following the
commencement of Investor’s employment with the Corporation as of the Effective Date (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), or at such other time and place as the Corporation and the Investor shall mutually agree (which time and
place are designated as the “Closing”). 
 (a) Deliveries by the Investor at Closing. Subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, the Investor shall cause the following to be delivered to the Corporation: 

(i) the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Investor for the Shares as set forth in Section 1.1;

shareholder of the Corporation; and 
 (iii) all other agreements, documents, instruments and other writings reasonably required

 (b) Deliveries
by the Corporation at Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, promptly after the Closing, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the Investor a stock certificate duly executed and delivered on behalf of the
Corporation representing the Shares. 
 ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CORPORATION 
 The Corporation represents and warrants the following to the Investor as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing: 
 Section 3.1 Organization. The Corporation is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to conduct its
business as it is currently being conducted and to own its assets and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and has obtained any other authorizations, approvals, permits and orders required by law that are material to the
Corporation for the conduct of its business as it is currently being conducted and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 Section 3.2 Authorization. The Corporation has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement has
been duly and validly executed and delivered and constitutes, assuming due execution and delivery by the Investor, a valid and legally binding obligation of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in accordance with its terms, subject
to creditors’ rights. The Corporation has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock upon the terms of this Agreement by all requisite corporate action, including the authorization by the Corporation’s board of
directors of the issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock in accordance herewith. 
 Section 3.3 Valid Issuance
of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable in accordance with this Agreement when paid for and delivered to the Investor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will constitute validly authorized, duly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, and the issuance thereof will not conflict with the organizational documents of the Corporation, as amended to date, nor with any outstanding warrants, option, call, preemptive right or commitment of any type
relating to the Corporation’s capital stock. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTOR 
 The Investor represents and warrants the following to the Corporation as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing: 

  
 2 

 Section 4.1 Authorization. The Investor has the requisite power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered and constitutes, assuming due execution and delivery by the Corporation, a valid and
legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, subject to creditors’ rights. 
 Section 4.2 Brokers or Finders. No Person has or will have, as a result of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, any right, interest or valid claim
against or upon the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for any commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker because of any act or omission by the Investor or his agents. 

Section 4.3 Restrictions on Transfer or Sale of the Stock. 

(a) The Investor is acquiring the shares of Common Stock solely for the Investor’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes,
and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Common Stock. The Investor understands that the securities being purchased have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and all applicable state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of the Investor and of the other representations made by the
Investor in this Agreement. The Investor understands that the Corporation is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets
the requirements for such exemptions. 
 (b) The Investor understands that the shares of Common Stock being purchased are
“restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provide in substance that the undersigned may dispose
of the securities being purchased only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and the undersigned understands that the Corporation has no obligation or intention to register any of the
securities being purchased, or to take action so as to permit sales pursuant to the Securities Act (including Rule 144 thereunder) except as may be required by the Corporation to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement attached as an exhibit
to the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below). Accordingly, the Investor understands that under the Commission’s rules, the Investor may dispose of the securities being purchased principally only in “private placements” which are
exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in which event the transferee will acquire “restricted securities” subject to the same limitations as in the hands of the Investor. As a consequence, the Investor understands that he must
bear the economic risks of the investment in the securities purchased for an indefinite period of time. 
 (c) The Investor
agrees: (i) that he will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the securities purchased or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of such
securities under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws; (ii) that the

  
 3 

 
certificate(s) for the securities purchased will bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions; and (iii) that the Corporation and any transfer agent for the securities
purchased shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of any of such securities except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions. 
 (d) The Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or certificates evidencing any such Shares shall bear the following legend: 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY
NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE (AND, IN SUCH CASE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE, TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE COMPANY). THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET
FORTH IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY, AND SET FORTH IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES. 

Section 4.4 Investor Status. 
 (a) The Investor is an “Accredited Investor” (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement). 
 (b) The Investor is familiar with the business and financial condition, properties, operations and prospects of the Corporation and has had an opportunity to ask questions of the Corporation’s
management and has made all investigations which he deems necessary or desirable. The Investor has carefully considered and has, to the extent the Investor believes such discussion necessary, discussed with the Investor’s professional
legal, tax, accounting and/or financial advisors, as the case may be, the suitability of an investment in the Corporation for the Investor’s particular tax and financial situation and has determined that the Common Stock to be
purchased by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement is a suitable investment for the Investor. 
 (c) The Investor, either
alone or with the Investor’s attorney, as applicable, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters so as to enable the Investor to use the information made available to the Investor to evaluate the merits and risks
of an investment in the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto. 

  
 4 

 (d) The Investor is not purchasing the Shares as a result of or after any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or meeting. 
 (e) The Investor is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, has no need for liquidity in such investment and, at the present
time, could afford a complete loss of such investment. 
 (f) The Investor recognizes that investment in the Shares
involves substantial risks, including loss of the entire amount of such investment. Further, the Investor has taken full cognizance of and understands all of the risks related to the purchase of the Shares.

 Section 5.11 Waiver. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any
