hereof, upon written notice from such Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12(h) hereof requesting that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of any or all of the Registrable Securities held by

under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities for disposition in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition stated in such request (including in an offering on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 (or any
successor rule to similar effect) promulgated under the Securities Act, if the Company is then eligible to register such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or a successor form) for such offering), provided that: 

  

	 	(i)	if, within 5 business days of receipt of a registration request pursuant to this Section 2(a), the Holder or Holders making such request are advised in
writing that the Company has in good faith commenced the preparation of a registration statement for an underwritten public offering prior to receipt of the notice requesting registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) and
the managing underwriter of the proposed offering has determined that in such firm’s good faith opinion, a registration at the time and on the terms requested would materially and adversely affect the offering that is contemplated by the
Company, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) (a “Transactional Deferral”) until the earliest of (A) the abandonment of such offering by the
Company, (B) 60 days after receipt by the Holder or Holders requesting registration of the managing underwriter’s written opinion referred to above in this clause (i), unless the registration statement for such offering has become
effective and such offering has commenced on or prior to such 60th day, and (C) if the registration statement for such offering has become effective and such offering has commenced on or prior to such 60th day, the day on which the restrictions
on the Holders contained in Section 10 hereof lapse, provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to delay a requested registration in reliance on this clause (i) more than once in any 12-month period;

  

 4 

	 	(ii)	if, while a registration request is pending pursuant to this Section 2(a), the Company determines, following consultation with and receiving advice from
its legal counsel, that the filing of a registration statement would require the disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential and the disclosure of which the Company determines
reasonably and in good faith would have a material adverse effect on the Company, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which
such material information is otherwise disclosed to the public or ceases to be material and (B) 90 days after the Company makes such determination; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to a registration request pursuant to this Section 2 if such registration
request is for a number of Registrable Securities having a Fair Market Value on the business day immediately preceding the date of such registration request of less than $3,500,000.00; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to a registration request pursuant to this Section 2: (A) in the case of
a registration request by Zapata or any Permitted Transferee that has acquired, in the transaction in which it became a Permitted Transferee, more than 30% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, on more than two occasions (which number
shall not include the registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 7.10 of the Purchase Agreement), or (B) in the case of a Holder other than Zapata or a Permitted Transferee described in clause (A) above, on more than the
number of occasions permitted such Holder in accordance with Section 11 hereof. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: 

  

	 	(i)	a registration requested by a Holder pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore, not requested for purposes of
Section 2(a)), (A) unless the registration statement filed in connection therewith has become effective, (B) if after such registration statement has become effective, it becomes subject to any stop order, or
there is issued an injunction or other order or decree of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by such Holder, which injunction, order or decree prohibits or otherwise materially
and adversely affects the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities so registered prior to the completion of the distribution thereof in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the registration statement or (C) if the
conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied by reason of some act, misrepresentation or omission by the Company and are not waived by the
purchasers or underwriters; and 

  

 5 

	 	(ii)	nothing herein shall modify a Holder’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses, in accordance with Section 4 hereof, that are incurred in connection
with any withdrawn registration requested by such Holder. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, Holders owning at least 50.1%
of the Fair Market Value of the Registrable Securities to be registered in connection with such offering shall have the right to designate an underwriter reasonably satisfactory to the Company as the lead managing underwriter of such underwritten
offering, and the Company shall have the right to designate one underwriter reasonably satisfactory to such Holders as a co-manager of such underwritten offering. 

  

	 	(d)	The Company shall have the right to cause the registration of additional securities for sale for the account of any person (including the Company) in any registration of Registrable
Securities requested by any Holder pursuant to Section 2(a) only to the extent the managing underwriter or other independent marketing agent for such offering (if any) determines that, in its opinion, the additional
securities proposed to be sold will not materially and adversely affect the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition then contemplated by such Holder. The
rights of a Holder to cause the registration of additional Registrable Securities held by such Holder in any registration of Registrable Securities requested by another Holder pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be governed by
the agreement of the Holders with respect thereto as provided in Section 11(a). 

  

	 	(e)	The Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to a registration request by a Holder pursuant to this Section 2 from and
after such time as such Holder first owns Registrable Securities representing (assuming for this purpose the conversion, exchange or exercise of all Registrable Securities then owned by such Holder that are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Voting Stock of the Company) less than 10% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock of the Company. 

  

	3.	Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its Common Stock or any other of its securities (collectively, “Other
Securities”) under the Securities Act, whether or not for sale for its own account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale for cash to the public under the Securities Act, it will at such time
give prompt written notice to each Holder of its intention to do so at least 10 business days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration. Such notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity
to include in such registration statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. Upon the written request of any such Holder made within 5 business days after the receipt of the Company’s notice

  

 6 

 (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of and the
intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall effect, in the manner set forth in Section 5, in connection with the registration of the Other Securities, the registration under the Securities Act of all
Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with such intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered, provided
that: 
  

	 	(a)	if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of 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 the Holders 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 and (B) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay registration of any Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities, but, in either such case, without prejudice to the rights of the Holders under Section 2;

  

	 	(b)	(i) if the registration referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3 is to be a registration in connection with an underwritten offering on behalf
of either the Company or holders of securities (other than Registrable Securities) of the Company (“Other Holders”), and the managing underwriter for such offering advises the Company in writing that, in such firm’s
opinion, such offering would be materially and adversely affected by the inclusion therein of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein because such Registrable Securities are not of the same type, class or series as the securities to
be offered and sold in such offering on behalf of the Company and/or the Other Holders, the Company may exclude all such Registrable Securities from such offering provided that the Holder is permitted to substitute for the Registrable Securities so
excluded an equal number of Registrable Securities of the same type, class or series as those being registered by the Company or the Other Holders, if and to the extent such Holder owns Registrable Securities of such type, class or series or can
acquire Registrable Securities of such type, class or series upon exercise or conversion of other Registrable Securities; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if the registration referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3 is to be a registration in connection with an underwritten primary offering on
behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriter for such offering advises the Company in writing that, in such firm’s opinion, such offering would be materially and adversely affected by the inclusion therein of the Registrable Securities
requested to be included therein because the number or principal amount of such Registrable Securities, considered together with the number or principal amount of securities proposed to be offered by the Company, exceeds the aggregate number or
principal amount of securities which, in such firm’s opinion, can be sold in such offering 

  

 7 

	 	  	without materially and adversely affecting the offering, the Company shall include in such registration: (1) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its own
account (“Company Securities”) and (2) second, the number or principal amount of Registrable Securities and securities, if any, requested to be included therein by Other Holders in excess of the number or principal
amount of Company Securities which, in the opinion of such underwriter, can be so sold without materially and adversely affecting such offering (allocated pro rata among the Holders and the Other Holders on the basis of the number of securities
(including Registrable Securities) requested to be included therein by each Holder and each such Other Holder); and 

  

	 	(iii)	if the registration referred to in the first sentence of this Section 3 is to be a registration in connection with an underwritten secondary offering on
behalf of Other Holders made pursuant to demand registration rights granted by the Company to such Other Holders (the “Initiating Holders”), and the managing underwriter for such offering advises the Company in writing that,
in such firm’s opinion, such offering would be materially and adversely affected by the inclusion therein of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein because the number or principal amount of such Registrable Securities,
considered together with the number or principal amount of securities proposed to be offered by the Initiating Holders, exceeds the aggregate number or principal amount of securities which, in such firm’s opinion, can be sold in such offering
without materially and adversely affecting the offering, the Company shall include in such registration; (1) first, to the extent the registration rights granted to an Initiating Holder permit it to exclude other securities from its
registration on substantially the same basis as that set forth in the first sentence of Section 2(d) hereof, all securities any such Initiating Holder proposes to sell for its own account, and (2) second, the number or
principal amount of additional securities (including Registrable Securities) that such managing underwriter advises can be sold without materially and adversely affecting such offering, allocated pro rata among any Other Holders to which clause
(1) does not apply and the Holders on the basis of the number of securities (including Registrable Securities) requested to be included therein by each Holder and each such Other Holder. 

  

	 	(c)	the Company shall not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3 incidental to the registration of any of its
securities in connection with stock option or other executive or employee benefit or compensation plans of the Company; 

  

	 	(d)	no registration of Registrable Securities effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration of
Registrable Securities required of the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, except as expressly provided in Section 2(a)(iv) to the extent such registration under this Section 3 results in a
reduction in ownership below the majority threshold specified therein; and 

  

 8 

	 	(e)	the Company shall not be required to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section for any Holder from and after such time as such Holder is able to dispose
of (i) all of its Registrable Securities within a three-month period pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 

  

	4.	Expenses. The Holders, on the one hand, by accepting Registrable Securities, and the Company, on the other hand, each agree to pay one-half of all Registration
Expenses with respect to a registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, provided that to the extent a registration pursuant to Section 2 includes the registration of shares for the Company or another
person in connection therewith, the Company or such other person shall pay all incremental expenses of including such additional shares in the registration. The Holders’ portion of any Registration Expenses shall be allocated among them pro
rata based on each Holder’s number or principal amount of Registrable Securities included in such offering. The Company agrees to pay all Registration Expenses with respect to a registration pursuant to Section 3
hereof. All Registration Expenses to be paid by the Holder shall be paid within 10 days of the delivery of a statement from the Company, such statements to be delivered not more frequently than once every 30 days. All internal expenses of the
Company or a Holder in connection with any offering pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the salaries and expenses of officers and employees, including in-house attorneys, shall be borne by the party incurring them. All Selling
Expenses of the Holders participating in any registration pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by such Holders pro rata based on each Holder’s number of Registrable Securities included in such registration. 

  

	5.	Registration and Qualification. If and whenever the Company is required to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the
Securities Act as provided in Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Company, subject to Section 4 hereof, shall: 

  

	 	(a)	prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the Registrable Securities to be offered as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days
(60 days if the applicable registration form is other than Form S-3) after the date notice is given, and use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective as soon as possible after the date notice is given. 

  

	 	(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 with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities until the earlier of (i) such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
set forth in such registration statement and (ii) the expiration of nine months after such registration statement becomes effective; provided, that such nine-month period shall be extended for such number of days that equals the number of days
elapsing from (A) the date the written notice 

  

 9 

	 	  	contemplated by paragraph (f) below is given by the Company to (B) the date on which the Company delivers to the Holders of Registrable Securities the supplement or
amendment contemplated by paragraph (f) below; and provided further, that in the case of a registration to permit the exercise or exchange of Exchangeable Securities for, or the conversion of Exchangeable Securities into, Registrable
Securities, the time limitation contained in clause (ii) above shall be disregarded to the extent that, in the written opinion of Zapata’s counsel delivered to the Company, such Registrable Securities are required to be covered by an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act at the time such Registrable Securities are issued upon exercise, exchange or conversion of Registrable Securities in order for such Registrable Securities to be freely tradeable by any
person who is not an Affiliate of the Company or Zapata; 

  

	 	(c)	furnish to the Holders and to any underwriter of such Registrable Securities such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement
thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, and such other documents, as the Holders or such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale of the Registrable Securities, and a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to, or received
from, the SEC or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering; 

  

	 	(d)	use its best efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions (domestic
or foreign) as the Holders or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities shall request, and use its best efforts to obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and consents required in connection therewith, and do any and all other acts and
things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders or any such underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of its Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; provided that the Company shall not
for any such purpose be required to register or qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to consent to general service
of process in any such jurisdiction; 

  

	 	(e)	(i) use its best efforts to furnish an opinion of counsel for the Company addressed to the underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration (each
a “Selling Holder”) and dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement (if any) (or if such offering is not underwritten, dated the effective date of the registration statement), and 

 

	 	(ii)	use its best efforts to furnish a “cold comfort” letter addressed to each Selling Holder, if permissible under applicable accounting practices, and

  

 10 

	 	  	signed by the independent registered public accounting firm which has audited the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each such case
covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in
underwritten public offerings of securities and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements; 

  

	 	(f)	immediately notify each Selling Holder in writing (i) at any time when a prospectus relating to a registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) if any request by the SEC or any other regulatory body or other body
having jurisdiction for any amendment of or supplement to any registration statement or other document relating to such offering, and in either such case (i) or (ii) at the request of the Selling Holders, subject to
Section 4 hereof, prepare and furnish to the Selling Holders a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, 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 therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading; 

  

	 	(g)	use its best efforts to list all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration on each securities exchange and inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is
then listed, with expenses in connection therewith (not including any future periodic assessments or fees for such additional listing, which shall be paid by the Company) to be paid in accordance with Section 4 hereof;

  

	 	(h)	use its best efforts to list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system (in each case, domestic or
foreign) not described in paragraph (g) above as the Selling Holders or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities shall request, and use its best efforts to obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and consents required in connection
therewith, and to do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to effect such listing; provided, however, that, (i) notwithstanding Section 4, the Holders of the Registrable Securities to be
so listed shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such listing and (ii) the Company shall have no obligation to use its best efforts to so list Registrable Securities if in the good faith opinion of counsel
for the Company such listing shall impose on the Company an ongoing material compliance obligation; 

  

 11 

	 	(i)	to the extent reasonably requested by the lead or managing underwriters in connection with any underwritten offering, send appropriate officers of the Company to attend any
“road shows” scheduled in connection with any such registration; and 

  

	 	(j)	furnish for delivery in connection with the closing of any offering of Registrable Securities unlegended certificates representing ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold
in such denominations as shall be requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters. 

  

	6.	Exchangeable Securities. Zapata shall be entitled, if it intends to offer any options, rights, warrants or other securities issued or to be issued by it or any other
person that are exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into any Registrable Securities (“Exchangeable Securities”), to register the Registrable Securities underlying such options, rights, warrants or other securities
pursuant to (and subject to the limitations contained in) Section 2 of this Agreement. 

  

	7.	Underwriting; Due Diligence. 

  

	 	(a)	If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration requested under this Agreement, the Company shall enter into an
underwriting agreement, with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect
to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, indemnities and contribution substantially to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof and the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants’ letters to the
effect and to the extent provided in Section 5(e) hereof. The Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement. Such
underwriting agreement shall also contain such representations and warranties by the Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary
distributions. The Selling Holders may require that any additional securities included in an offering proposed by a Holder be included on the same terms and conditions as the Registrable Securities that are included therein.

  

	 	(b)	In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 3 shall involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten offering, the Company may require the
Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 3 to be included in such underwritten offering on the same terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the other securities being sold through
underwriters under such registration. If requested by the underwriters for such underwritten offering, the Selling Holders on whose behalf the Registrable Securities are to be distributed shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such
underwriters, such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Selling Holders and such other terms and 

  

 12 

	 	  	provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions, including, without limitation, indemnities and contribution substantially
to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof. Such underwriting agreement shall also contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other person or entity for whose account securities
are being sold in such offering as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions. 

  

	 	(c)	In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall give the Holders of such
Registrable Securities and the Underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, such reasonable and customary access to its banks and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the
independent registered public accounting firm which has certified the Company’s financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders and such underwriters or their respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation
within the meaning of the Securities Act. 

  

	8.	Indemnification and Contribution. 

  

	 	(a)	In the case of each offering of Registrable Securities made pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers and directors,
each underwriter of Registrable Securities so offered and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing persons within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and
judgments, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened which is approved by the indemnifying party as
provided below, and shall promptly reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions shall arise out of, or shall be based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any document incorporated by reference therein, 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; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to a particular Holder in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement, or any omission, if such statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the
preparation of the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of a Holder 

  

 13 

	 	  	and shall survive the transfer of such securities. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to each Holder, any of such
Holder’s directors or officers, underwriters of the Registrable Securities or any controlling person of the foregoing; provided, further, that this indemnity does not apply in favor of any underwriter or person controlling an underwriter (or if
a Selling Holder offers Registrable Securities directly without an underwriter, the Selling Holder) with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus if a copy of a final prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of an underwriter (or the Selling Holder, if the Selling Holder offered the Registrable Securities directly without an
underwriter) to the person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or action at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities as required by the Securities Act and such untrue statement or omission had been
corrected in such final prospectus. 

  

	 	(b)	In the case of each offering made pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such offering, by exercising its registration rights hereunder,
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act (and if requested by the underwriters, each underwriter who
participates in the offering and each person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses and judgments, joint or several, to which
they or any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, including any amount paid in settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened which is approved by the indemnifying party as provided below, and shall promptly
reimburse them, as and when incurred, for any legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claim and defending any actions, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions shall arise out of, or
shall be based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement (or in any preliminary or final prospectus included therein) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, 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, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement of a material fact is contained
in, or such material fact is omitted from, information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement (or in any preliminary or final
prospectus included therein). The foregoing indemnity is in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company, any of its directors or officers, underwriters of the Registrable Securities or any controlling person of the
foregoing; provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply in favor of any underwriter or person controlling an underwriter (or if the Company offers Registrable Securities directly without an underwriter, the Company) with respect to any
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or 

  

 14 

	 	  	alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus if a copy of a final prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of an underwriter (or
the Company, if the Company offered the Registrable Securities directly without an underwriter) to the person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or action at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities
as required by the Securities Act and such untrue statement or omission had been corrected in such final prospectus. 

  

	 	(c)	Each party indemnified under Paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of any claim or the commencement of
any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement contained in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8, except to the extent the indemnifying party was prejudiced by
such failure, and in no event shall relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to such indemnified party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying
party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided that each indemnified party, its officers and directors, if any, and each person, if
any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act, shall have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably approved by the indemnifying party to represent them if the named parties to any action (including any
impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and an indemnifying party or an Affiliate of an indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel either (i) that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such indemnifying party that are different from or additional to those available to such indemnified party or such Affiliate or (ii) a conflict may exist between such indemnified party and such indemnifying party or such Affiliate,
and in that event the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel for all such indemnified parties shall be paid by the indemnifying party. An indemnified party will not settle any claim or action for which he or it is being indemnified hereunder
unless the terms thereof are first approved in writing by the indemnifying party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party may not agree to any settlement of any such claim or action which provides for any remedy or
relief other than monetary damages for which the indemnifying party shall be responsible hereunder, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any action hereunder as to which the
indemnifying party has assumed the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, 

  

 15 

	 	  	the indemnified party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but, except as set forth above, the indemnifying party
shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the indemnified party for the costs thereof. In all instances, the indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party or its counsel in the defense of such claim or action.

  

	 	(d)	If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in
respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to herein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other with
respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other, the intent of the parties
and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, but not by reference to any indemnified party’s stock ownership in the Company. In no event, however, shall a Holder be
required to contribute in excess of the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering which is the subject of such loss, claim, damage or liability. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this paragraph shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this paragraph, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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. 

  

	9.	Rule 144. The Company shall take such measures and file such information, documents and reports as shall be required by the SEC as a condition to the availability of
Rule 144 (or any successor provision). 

  

	10.	Holdback. 

  

	 	(a)	Each Holder agrees by the acquisition of Registrable Securities, if so required by the managing underwriter of any offering of equity securities by the Company, not to sell, make
any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, during the 30 days prior to and the 90 days after

  

 16 

	 	  	the registration statement relating to such offering has become effective (or such shorter period as may be required by the underwriter), except as part of such underwritten
offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each Holder subject to the foregoing sentence shall be entitled to sell during the foregoing period any securities of the Company owned by it in a private sale. The Company may legend and may impose
stop transfer instructions on any certificate evidencing Registrable Securities relating to the restrictions provided for in this Section 10. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company agrees, if so required by the managing underwriter of any offering of Registrable Securities, not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the
purchase of (other than pursuant to employee benefit plans), effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of any of its equity securities during the 30 days prior to and the 90 days after any underwritten registration pursuant to
Section 2 or 3 hereof has become effective, except as part of such underwritten registration and except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto. 

  

	11.	Transfer of Registration Rights. 

  

	 	(a)	A Holder may transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any transferee of Registrable Securities that represent (assuming the conversion, exchange or exercise
of all Registrable Securities so transferred that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Company’s Voting Stock) at least 10% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock of the Company (each, a “Permitted
Transferee”); provided, however, that (i) with respect to any transferee of less than a majority but more than 30% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement
pursuant to a registration request made by such transferee pursuant to Section 2 hereof on more than two occasions, and (ii) with respect to any transferee of 30% or less but 10% or more of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, the
Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to a registration request made by such transferee pursuant to Section 2 hereof on more than one occasion. No transfer of registration rights pursuant to this Section shall
be effective unless the Company has received written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and address of any Permitted Transferee and identifying the number and/or aggregate principal amount of
Registrable Securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being transferred and the scope of the rights so transferred. In connection with any such transfer, the term Zapata as used in this Agreement (other than in
Section 2(a)(iv)) shall, where appropriate to assign the rights and obligations hereunder to such Permitted Transferee, be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee of such Registrable Securities. Zapata and any Permitted
Transferees may exercise the registration rights hereunder in such priority, as among themselves, as they shall agree among themselves, and the Company shall observe any such agreements of which it shall have notice as provided above.

  

 17 

	 	(b)	After any such transfer, the transferring Holder shall retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to all other Registrable Securities owned by such transferring Holder.

  

	 	(c)	Upon the request of the transferring Holder, the Company shall execute an agreement with a Permitted Transferee substantially similar to this Agreement. 

  

	12.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	(a)	Injunctions. Each party acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in
accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. Therefore, each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof
in any court having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity. 

  

	 	(b)	Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms
and provisions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and each of the parties shall use its best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term or provision. 

  

	 	(c)	Further Assurances. Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and
documents, and take all such other actions, as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	 	(d)	Waivers, etc. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any power or right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right or power. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by an authorized officer of each of the parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 

  

	 	(e)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the final and complete understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between the parties, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including but not limited to the Original Registration Rights Agreement. The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are
for reference purposes only, and shall not affect in any manner the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement 

  

 18 

	 	(f)	Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all
of which together shall be one and the same instrument. 

  

	 	(g)	Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the Company and the Holders of more than 50% of the Registrable Securities.

  

	 	(h)	Notices. Unless expressly provided herein, all notices, claims, certificates, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to be duly given (i) when personally delivered or (ii) if mailed registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, on the date the return receipt is executed or the letter refused by the addressee or its agent
or (iii) if sent by overnight courier which delivers only upon the signed receipt of the addressee, on the date the receipt acknowledgment is executed or refused by the addressee or its agent or (iv) if sent by facsimile or other generally
accepted means of electronic transmission, on the date confirmation of transmission is received (provided that a copy of any notice delivered pursuant to this clause (iv) shall also be sent pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii)), addressed as

Trading Plan in accordance with Section 7(b) or Section 15 hereof. 
  

	3.	Representations and Warranties. Client represents and warrants that as of the date of this Trading Plan: 

  

	 	(a)	Client is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning Issuer or any of its securities (including the Stock) and is entering into this Trading Plan in good faith and
not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1. 

  

	 	(b)	Client is permitted to sell or purchase Stock in accordance with Issuer’s insider trading policies and has obtained the approval of Issuer’s counsel to enter into this
Trading Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	There are no legal, regulatory, contractual or other restrictions applicable to the trades contemplated under this Trading Plan that would interfere with Broker’s ability to
execute trades and effect delivery and settlement of such trades on behalf of Client (collectively, “Client Trading Restrictions”). 

  

	4.	Intent to Comply with Rule 10b5-1 (c). It is Client’s intent that this Trading Plan comply with the requirements of Rule
 10b5-1(c), and this Trading Plan shall be
interpreted to comply with such requirements. 

  

	5.	Rule 144. Subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5 apply if the shares of Stock subject to this Trading Plan are “restricted securities” and/or
Client may be deemed an “affiliate” of Issuer, as such terms are defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Subsection (d) of this Section 5 applies in all cases. 

  

	 	(a)	Broker agrees to conduct all sales of Stock in accordance with the manner-of-sale requirements of Rule 144. Broker further agrees not to effect any sale of Stock that would exceed
the amount limitation under Rule 144, assuming Broker’s sales of Stock are the only sales subject to such limitation. Client agrees not to take, and to cause any person or entity with which Client would be required to aggregate sales of Stock
pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 not to take, any action that would cause sales of Stock by Broker not to comply with Rule 144. 

  

	 	(b)	Client agrees to provide Broker with five executed copies of Form 144, which Broker shall complete and file on behalf of Client in the event of sales of Stock under this Trading
Plan. Client understands and agrees that such Form 144 will include in the remarks section the following statement: “The shares covered by this Form 144 are being sold pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan dated (plan effective date), which
plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1, and the representation regarding the seller’s lack of knowledge of material nonpublic information is as of the date of the Trading Plan.” 

  

	 	(c)	Client shall disclose to Broker all trading plans involving the Stock established by Client at other firms that would be effective at any time during the period this Trading Plan is
in effect and all trading activity involving the Stock that occurs during such period or which occurs within 90 days prior to the commencement of such period. 

  

	 	(d)	Client agrees to notify Broker immediately if there is any change in Client’s employment or affiliate or non-affiliate status. 

  

 Page 2 of 5 
  

	6.	Section 13 or Section 16 Filings. Client acknowledges and agrees that Client is responsible for making all filings, if any, required under Section 13 or
Section 16 of the Exchange Act (and the rules and regulations thereunder) with respect to trades pursuant to this Trading Plan. To comply with Section 16 accelerated reporting requirements, Client must complete separately a duly executed
Broker Instruction Letter. 

  

	7.	Market Disruptions and Trading Restrictions. 

  

	 	(a)	Client understands that Broker may not be able to effect a trade, in whole or in part, due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to
Broker or any other event or circumstance. Client also understands that Broker may be unable to effect a trade consistent with ordinary principles of best execution due to insufficient volume of trading, failure of the Stock to reach and sustain a
limit order price, or other market factors in effect on the trade date specified in Appendix A and/or Appendix B. As soon as reasonably practicable after the cessation or termination of any such market disruption, restriction event or circumstance,
Broker shall resume effecting trades in accordance with the express provisions of this Trading Plan which are then applicable. Trades that are not executed as the result of any such market disruption, restriction, event or circumstance shall not be
deemed to be a part of this Trading Plan. 

  

	 	(b)	If Issuer enters into a transaction or if any other event occurs that results, in Issuer’s good faith determination, in the imposition of any Client Trading Restrictions, such
as a stock offering requiring an affiliate lock-up, Client and Issuer shall promptly, but in no event later than three days prior to the date of the remaining trade(s) specified in Appendix A and/or Appendix B, provide Broker notice of such
restrictions. With respect to any Client Trading Restrictions for which Client and Issuer have given Broker notice, Broker shall stop effecting trades under this Trading Plan, and this Trading Plan shall thereupon terminate. In such case, Client,
Broker and (for purposes of acknowledgment) Issuer shall cooperate to establish a new trading plan in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (c). 

  

	8.	Hedging Transactions. While this Trading Plan is in effect, Client agrees not to enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the
Stock (including, without limitation, with respect to any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Stock, or any option or other right to purchase or sell Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities). 

  

	9.	Margin Loans. Shares subject to this Trading Plan may not be used to secure margin loans to Client made by Broker. 

  

	10.	Compliance with Laws and Rules. Client understands and agrees that it is the responsibility of Client, and not Broker or Issuer, to determine whether this Trading Plan meets
the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 (c) and any other applicable federal or state laws or rules. 

  

	11.	Entire Trading Plan. This Trading Plan constitutes the entire trading plan between Client and Broker and supersedes and replaces any prior instructions under Rule 10b5-1 from
Client to Broker with respect to the sale or purchase of shares from or into the Account, as the case may be. . 

  

	12.	Notices and Other Communications. Any notices required or permitted to be given by Issuer and/or Client under this Trading Plan shall be provided in writing by fax, signed by
Client and Issuer and confirmed by telephone (Attn: Restricted Stock Service, Fax: 415-667-6646; Tel.: 800-239-2506). 

 With
respect to any Client Trading Restrictions, Client and Issuer shall provide Broker notice of the anticipated duration of such restrictions, but shall not provide Broker information about the nature of such restrictions or any other information about
such restrictions. Further, in no event shall Client or Issuer, at any time while this Trading Plan is in effect, communicate any material nonpublic information concerning Issuer or its securities (including the Stock) to Broker. Further, Client
shall not at any time attempt to exercise any influence over how, when or whether to effect trades under this Trading Plan. 
  

	13.	Third-Party Beneficiary. Client intends Issuer to be a third-party beneficiary of each and every representation and warranty contained in this Trading Plan to the fullest
extent necessary to enable Issuer to be fully protected from direct or indirect liability in connection with this Trading Plan. 

  

	14.	Governing Law. This Trading Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of, the state of California, as applied to agreements made and wholly
performed in the state of California 

  

	15.	Amendments and Termination. This Trading Plan may be amended, modified or terminated only by a written instrument signed by Client, acknowledged by Broker and acknowledged by
Issuer (except as provided in Section 7[b] hereof). Client acknowledges and understands that any amendment to, or modification of, this Trading Plan shall be deemed to constitute the creation of a new trading plan. Accordingly, Client shall be
required to restate and reaffirm, as of the date of such amendment or modification, each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Trading Plan. 

  

	16.	Counterparts. This Trading Plan may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
