						$69,438.97

				

		
			﻿
		

		
			(each, a “Periodic Installment”) plus any outstanding and unpaid accrued interest and any and all other amounts due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents (as defined below). For the period from the date hereof through but not including the date of the first Periodic Installment, Maker shall pay Payee interests on the unpaid principal balance in the amount of One Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Three and 20/100 United States Dollars ($1,293.20); such payment shall be due and payable on June 1st, 2020. The first Periodic Installment, plus (as applicable) interest accrued at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal balance hereunder for the period from June 1st, 2020 through but not including the starting date covered by such first Periodic Installment, shall be due and payable on September 1st, 2020 and the following Periodic Installments including the final installment shall be due and payable on the first day of December, March, June and September of each succeeding year (each, a “Payment Date”), with the last Payment Date being June 1, 2025. All payments shall be applied: first, to interest due and unpaid hereunder and under the other Debt Documents; second, to all other amounts (other than principal) due and unpaid hereunder and under the other Debt Documents, and then to principal due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents. The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or a 366-day leap year, as applicable) and will be charged at the Contract Rate for each calendar day on which any principal is outstanding. The payment of any Periodic Installment after its due date shall result in a corresponding decrease in the portion of the Periodic Installment credited to the remaining unpaid principal balance. The payment of any Periodic Installment prior to its due date shall result in a corresponding increase in the portion of the Periodic Installment credited to the remaining unpaid principal balance.
		

		

		

		 

 

		
		

		
			All amounts due hereunder and under the other Debt Documents are payable in the lawful currency of the United States of America. Maker hereby expressly authorizes Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			This Note is secured by that certain Master Security Agreement dated February 4th, 2020 (the “Master Agreement”) and may also be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a “Security Agreement”, and collectively with the Master Agreement and any other document or agreement related thereto or to this Note, the “Debt Documents”), in each case signed by Maker or one of its subsidiaries in favor of Payee.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Conditions Precedent to Funding. Payee’s obligation to make the loan evidenced by this Note is subject to the satisfaction of all the following conditions precedent no later than the date hereof, each in form and substance satisfactory to Payee at its sole discretion: (i) Payee shall have received the Collateral Schedule describing the Collateral that secures this Note (the “Collateral Schedule Collateral”), duly executed by Maker; (ii) Payee shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral Schedule Collateral; (iii) no Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement) or event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice would become an Event of Default (a “Default”) has occurred under the Debt Documents; and (iv) as of the date hereof, there will have been no adverse change (as determined by Payee in its sole discretion) in the business prospects or projections, operations, management, financial or other conditions of the Maker or any Guarantor since the date of the Master Agreement. If any such condition precedent is not so satisfied by the date hereof, Payee shall have no obligation to make the loan contemplated under this Note or any other Debt Documents related to this Note.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Time is of the essence hereof. If Payee does not receive from Maker payment in full of any Periodic Installment or any other sum due under this Note or any other Debt Document is not received within ten (10) days after its due date: (i) Maker agrees to pay a late fee equal to four percent (4.00%) on such late Periodic Installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum, plus such other costs, fees and expenses that Maker may owe as a result of such late payment; and (ii) interests on the due and unpaid Periodic Installment, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other due and unpaid sum payable under this Note or any other Debt Document, shall accrue penalty interests payable at demand at the lesser of 12.25% per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law until all such amounts are paid; provided that, before delay on payment constitutes an event of default hereunder, Maker shall have 10 days after receipt of notice from Payee to cure such default. However, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement) occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any other Debt Document, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, or, with respect to an Event of Default arising under Section 5(viii)(E) of the Master Agreement, shall become automatically due and payable, in each case, with interest thereon at the lesser of 12.25% per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment). The application of such 12.25% interest rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure period set forth in this Note or any other Debt Document, cure any default or otherwise limit Payee’s right or remedies hereunder or under any Debt Document.
		

		

		

		 

 

		
		

		
			Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, all outstanding amounts hereunder before they are due on any scheduled Payment Date upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Payee. Payee is authorized and entitled to apply any amounts paid by Maker as a prepayment of indebtedness to delinquent interest or other amounts (other than principal) due and owing from Maker to Payee hereunder and under any other Debt Documents before application of such funds to principal outstanding hereunder.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			If Maker makes a prepayment of this Note for any reason, Maker shall pay irrevocably and in full to Payee (i) all outstanding principal amounts, (ii) all accrued interest, (iii) the Break-Funding Costs (as defined below), (iv) the Prepayment Fee (as defined below) and (v) any and all other amounts due hereunder or under the other Debt Documents. Maker specifically acknowledges that, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, it shall be liable for the Break-Funding Costs and the Prepayment Fee on any acceleration hereof or under the other Debt Documents. In the event of an acceleration hereof or under the other Debt Documents, the Break-Funding Costs and the Prepayment Fee shall be determined as if (a) Maker prepaid this Note in full immediately before such acceleration and (b) the prepayment notice referred to above was received by Payee thirty (30) days prior to such date.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			For purposes hereof, the term “Prepayment Fee” shall be an amount equal to an additional sum equal to the following percentage of remaining principal balance for prepayments occurring in the indicated period: five percent (5.0%) (for prepayments occurring prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof); four percent (4.0%) (for prepayments occurring on and thereafter and prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof); three percent (3.0%) (for prepayments occurring on and thereafter and prior to the third anniversary of the date hereof); and two percent (2%) (for prepayments occurring any time thereafter). For the purposes hereof, the term “Break-Funding Costs” means the amounts that would be payable to Payee if Payee incurs in additional costs and expenses as a result of the interruption of the term of this Note, which shall be equal to (i) the net present value of the remaining scheduled principal and interest payments through the end of the term of this Note (including any balloon or other amount of principal payable that but for the prepayment of this Note would be payable on or prior to the scheduled maturity date hereof), at the LIBOR Rate (as defined below) published on the date of execution of this Note, less (ii) the net present value of the remaining scheduled principal and interest payments through the end of the term of this Note (including any balloon or other amount of principal payable that but for the prepayment of this Note would be payable on or prior to the scheduled maturity date hereof), at the LIBOR Rate published on the date of the prepayment, provided however that the Break- Funding Costs shall be deemed zero if the calculation results in a negative number. Por purposes hereof, the term “LIBOR Rate” means on the applicable determination date, the rate applicable in the London interbank market for deposits in United States Dollars for a period of three months, as published in the Wall Street Journal or, in its absence, on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service (or any other page that replaces Page 3750), as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the date that is two business days prior to the applicable payment date, or if the LIBOR Rate ceases to be published, the interest rate that replaces it published in the Wall Street Journal or, failing that, on Page 3750 of the Telerate Service (or any other page that replaces Page 3750).
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			Maker hereby consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any other Debt Document or any term and provision of either, which may be made, granted
		

		
			 
		

		

		

		 

 

		or consented to by Payee, and agrees that suit may be brought and maintained against Maker and/or any and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others who may at any time become liable for payments and performance under this Note and any other Debt Documents, at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note. Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s actual attorneys’ fees.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The consent to jurisdiction, jury trial waiver and usury provisions contained in the Master Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The laws of the State of New York shall govern all matters arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Note and any related Debt Documents, without limitation, validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement thereof (including, without limitation, any claims sounding in contract or tort law arising out of the subject matter hereof and any determinations with respect to post-judgment interest).

 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 2.01. Securities Act Registration. 

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the date that is the later of (i) thirty (30) days following the
closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and (ii) ten (10) Business Days after the delivery to the Company of true and complete copies of any audited financial statements of Castex Energy 2014, LLC and Castex Energy
2016, LP (which shall in each case be accompanied by an unqualified report of BDO USA, LLP) that are required to be included therein and any consents of BDO USA, LLP required under the Securities Act in connection with the filing thereof, the
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement (on Form S-3 if then eligible) to permit the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Shelf Registration
Statement, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the date that is thirty (30) days following the filing thereof (or ninety (90) days following the filing thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will
“Review” the Shelf Registration Statement). The Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant 

 
to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement. To the extent the
initial Shelf Registration Statement is not made on Form S-3, the Company shall, upon becoming eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, prepare and file a
new Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 to replace the initial Shelf Registration Statement and use its best efforts to cause such subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
Commission as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01 to be continuously effective,
supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable
Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”). Such Shelf Registration Statement when effective (and all documents incorporated therein by reference) shall comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act and shall 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 not misleading (or, in the case of any prospectus
contained in such Registration Statement, shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading). 
 (b) Additional Demand Registration. Subject to the provisions hereof, if at any time the Company ceases to be eligible
under applicable law to register resales of Registrable Securities on a Shelf Registration Statement, any one or more Holders shall have the right to require the Company to file a Registration Statement registering for sale all or part of the
Registrable Securities of such Holder under the Securities Act (an “Additional Demand Registration”) by delivering a written request therefor to the Company (i) specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in
such registration and (ii) containing all information about such Holder required to be included in such Registration Statement in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such demand, the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration (including appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any
other governmental requirements or regulations) of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one Additional Demand Registration pursuant to this Agreement.

 (c) For so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
(i) become eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form) as promptly as practicable and (ii) thereafter maintain its eligibility to register the Registrable
Securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form) until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period. 

Section 2.02. Delay Rights. If the Company’s board of directors determines that the Company’s compliance with its
obligations under this Article II would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders because such registration would (a) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, reorganization, financing
or other similar transaction involving the Company, (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona 

 
fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (c) render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, then the Company shall have the right to postpone compliance
with its obligations under this Article II for a period of not more than three (3) months; provided, that such right pursuant to this Section 2.02 may not be utilized more than twice in
any twelve-month period. 
 Section 2.03. Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this
Article II, the Company will, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable: 
 (a) prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 

(b) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any
supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and
regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested
by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing a Registration Statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and any
supplements and amendments thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 

(c) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where it is not then
required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

(d) promptly notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a
Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto; 

 (e) immediately notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a
prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) the issuance or threat of issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision of such notice, the Company agrees to, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus
or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and to take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; 

(f) upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal
letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to any offering of Registrable
Securities; 
 (g) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission,
and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; 

(h) cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 
 (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities; 
 (j) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; and 
 (k) enter into customary agreements and take such other
actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities. 

Except to the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall not file any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable
Securities, or any prospectus used in connection therewith, and shall not file or make any amendment to any such Registration Statement or any amendment of or supplement to any such prospectus, that refers to any Selling Holder covered thereby by
name, or otherwise identifies such Selling Holder as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of such Selling Holder, such consent not to be 

 
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law or regulation, in which case the Company shall provide written notice to such Selling
Holder no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement or any amendment to any such Registration Statement or any prospectus used in connection therewith or any amendment of or supplement to any such
prospectus. 
 Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
subsection (e) of this Section 2.03, shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) of this Section 2.03 or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any
additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus. 
 Section 2.04. Cooperation by Holders. The
Company shall have no obligation to include in a Registration Statement Registrable Securities of a Selling Holder who has failed to timely furnish such information that, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, is reasonably required in order for
the registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 
 Section 2.05.
Expenses. 
 (a) The Company will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses. Each Selling Holder shall pay all Selling Expenses in
connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. 
 Section 2.06. Indemnification. 

(a) By the Company. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder participating therein, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and its directors, officers, employees or agents, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in such Registration Statement or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact included in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communications, any preliminary prospectus or prospectus
supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will 

 
reimburse each such Selling Holder, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each such controlling Person, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Loss or actions or proceedings as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder, its directors, officers, employees and agents or such controlling Person in writing
specifically for use in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, free writing
prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Selling Holder or any such directors, officers, employees agents or controlling Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder. 

(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in any Written
Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or
prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling
Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. 
 (c)
Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the
indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In any action brought against any indemnified party,
the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under
this Section 2.06 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected;
provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal
defense and otherwise to 

 
participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnified party shall settle any action brought against it with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the
indemnifying party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of, the indemnifying party. 

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.06 is held by a court or government
agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each 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 Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the
dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party
on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information
supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the
Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss that is the subject of this
paragraph. 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 is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. 

(e) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be in addition to any other rights to
indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 
 Section 2.07.
Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof; 

 (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Company under the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and 
 (c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, unless otherwise available via EDGAR, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request
in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration. 

Section 2.08. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities
granted to a Holder by the Company under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by such Holder to one or more transferee(s) or assignee(s) of such Registrable Securities; provided, that (a) the Company
is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and
(b) each such transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

successors and assigns of each of the Parties, including subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities to the extent permitted herein. 

Section 3.03. Assignment of Rights. All or any portion of the rights and obligations of the Holders under this Agreement may be
transferred or assigned by the Holders in accordance with Section 2.08 hereof. 

 Section 3.04. Recapitalization, Exchanges, Etc., Affecting the Registrable

distributions and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement. 
 Section 3.05. Specific Performance. Damages in the
event of a breach of this Agreement by a Party hereto may be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that each Party, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to an
injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and each of the Parties hereto hereby waives any and all defenses it may have on the
ground of lack of jurisdiction or competence of the court to grant such an injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right will not preclude any such Party from pursuing any other rights and remedies at law or in equity that such
Party may have. 
 Section 3.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect
as if all Parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument. The delivery of an executed counterpart copy of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission in

Section 3.08. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement. 

Section 3.09. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting or impairing the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
 Section 3.10. Scope of 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, warranties or undertakings, other than
those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the rights granted by the Company set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. 

Section 3.11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by means of a written amendment signed by the Company and the Holders
of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, however, that no such amendment shall materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder hereunder without the consent of such Holder. 

 Section 3.12. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as there
are no Registrable Securities outstanding. 
 Section 3.13. No Presumption. If any claim is made by a Party relating to any
conflict, omission, or ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion shall be implied by virtue of the fact that this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of a particular Party or its counsel. 

Section 3.14. Obligations Limited to Parties to Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no
Person other than the Company and the Holders shall have any obligation hereunder and that, notwithstanding that one or more of the Holders may be a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, no recourse under this Agreement or under any
documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Holders
or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding,
or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general
or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the Holders or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder or Affiliate of any of the foregoing,
as such, for any obligations of the Holders under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligation or its creation, except in each
case for any assignee of the Holders hereunder. 
 Section 3.15. Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions. With a view to making
available to the Holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder of Registrable Securities to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder and (ii) make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under
the Securities Act, at all times, 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 (x) Rule 144
and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rules may be amended from time to time or (y) any other substantially similar rules or regulations now existing or
hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the
specific reasons for non-compliance. 

 Section 3.16. Removal of Legend. The Company, at its sole cost, shall remove any
legend ordinarily included on restricted securities of the Company (or instruct its transfer agent to so remove such legend) from the certificates or book-entry notations evidencing Registrable Securities if such Registrable Securities (i) are
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) are eligible for sale without restriction and
without the need for current public information pursuant to Rule 144(b) (or any successor rule) under the Securities Act. Each Holder agrees to provide the Company, its counsel and/or the transfer agent with evidence reasonably requested by it in
order to cause the removal of such legend, including, as may be appropriate, any information the Company deems necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, including a certification
that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Company (and a covenant to inform the Company if it should thereafter become an Affiliate and to consent to exchange any certificates or instruments representing such Registrable Securities for ones bearing
an appropriate restrictive legend) and regarding the length of time the Registrable Securities have been held. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Company counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by
the Company’s transfer agent or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to, no later than three
(3) Business Days following the delivery by a Holder to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate or instrument representing such Registrable Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached,
signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) and any representation letter or certification as may be requested by the Company, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Company a certificate or
instrument (as the case may be) representing such Registrable Securities that is free from all restrictive legends. 
 Section 3.17.
Interpretation. All references to “Articles” and “Sections” shall be deemed to be references to Articles and Sections of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. All references to instruments, documents, contracts and
agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The word “including” shall mean
“including but not limited to.” Whenever any determination, consent or approval is to be made or given by the Holders under this Agreement, such action shall be in the Holders’ sole discretion unless otherwise specified.
