the Standby Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment by the Standby Purchaser; 
 (vi)(a) To register, qualify or make a determination of exemption for the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase
Commitment under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Standby Purchaser reasonably requests, (b) prepare and file in such jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements

to qualify, (B) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Standby Purchaser, if any, in connection with the offering of such New Shares pursuant to the Resale Prospectus; 
 (viii) To cause the Resale Prospectus, and any post-effective amendments thereto to comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, as of
their respective dates, to 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 were made, not misleading;

 (ix) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Standby Purchaser of the occurrence of any
event, as a result of which the Resale Prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact

 required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances

request; 
 (x) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Standby Purchaser of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, rescission or removal of such stop order or other suspension; and 
 (xi) In order to enable the Standby Purchaser to sell the New Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, for a period of two years
from the date of the filing of the Resale Prospectus with the Commission, use reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including without limitation, its reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of
Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to public information about the Company and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act. 
 Section 7. Post-Closing Covenants of Standby Purchaser and Restrictions on Transfer. In connection with the resale of the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment, the
Standby Purchaser shall have the following obligations: 
 (a) Post-Closing Covenants of Standby Purchaser. 

(i) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to register the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby
Purchase Commitment that the Standby Purchaser (i) shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the New Shares held by it and the intended method of disposition of the New Shares held by it as shall be reasonably required to
effect the registration of such New Shares and (ii) shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. 
 (ii) The Standby Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6(b)(viii) and (xi), it shall immediately
discontinue its disposition of the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment until the receipt by the Standby Purchaser of copies of the supplemented or amended Resale Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(b)(viii).

 (b) Restrictions on Transfer. The Standby Purchaser shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates do not, sell,
transfer, assign, convey, gift, mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (“Transfer”), any New Shares purchased in the Standby Purchase Commitment; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not restrict in any manner a Transfer by the Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates (i) (x) to one or more of their respective Affiliates or (y) if a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner
of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, or if a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member or to the estate of any such member or retired member, provided that the
transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 7(a), or (ii) to any other person in a private transaction if the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably

  

 15 

 satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act or (iii) made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, that the Company shall have the right to receive an opinion of legal counsel for the Standby Purchaser or its Affiliate, as the case may
be, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, prior to the removal of the legend set forth in Section 7(d) hereof or (iv) made pursuant to a
registration statement declared effective by the Commission. Any purported Transfers of New Shares purchased in the Standby Purchase Commitment in violation of this Section 7 shall be null and void and no right, title or interest in or to such
New Shares shall be transferred to the purported transferee, buyer, donee, assignee or encumbrance holder. The Company will not give, and will not permit the Company’s transfer agent to give, any effect to such purported Transfer in its stock
records. 
 (c) Compliance with Laws. The Standby Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that their respective Affiliates
shall, observe and comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all other requirements of applicable laws in connection with any permitted Transfer of the New Shares purchased in the Standby Purchase Commitment, including all requirements
of applicable laws relating to the use of insider information or the trading of securities while in the possession of nonpublic information. 
 (d) Restrictive Legends. The Standby Purchaser understands and agrees that the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment will bear a legend substantially similar to the
legend set forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law or by any agreement between the Company and the Standby Purchaser. The legend below (or a substantially similar legend) may be removed pursuant to
Section 7(b)(iii) and Section 7(b)(iv) as provided above. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the legend below (or a substantially similar legend) shall be removed upon the earlier to occur of (i) the filing of the Resale
Prospectus with the Commission, and (ii) the lapse of six months from the date of the Closing, and the Company agrees to promptly issue a replacement stock certificate or certificates that do not contain such legend to the Standby Purchaser
upon receipt of the original stock certificate or certificates representing the New Shares from the Standby Purchaser. 
 “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION
DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

 (ii) All conditions precedent contained in this Agreement to be performed by the Standby Purchaser shall have been performed and complied
with in all material respects by the Standby Purchaser or waived by the Company;

of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Standby Purchaser or its
Affiliates (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Standby Indemnified Persons”) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, the “Losses”) to which any
Standby Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (W) any failure by the Company to comply with the
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, (X) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, as amended, including the Base Prospectus and all other documents filed as a
part thereof or incorporated by reference, or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a 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, at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (Y) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, Resale Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a 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, in the forms first filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (Z) any breach of a representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company
contained in this Agreement; and the Company will promptly reimburse the Standby Indemnified Persons for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Standby Indemnified Persons in connection with investigating,
defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such Losses; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Prospectus Supplement or the Resale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by the Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates expressly for use therein, (ii) the failure of 
  

 19 

 the Standby Purchaser to perform any covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement with respect to the
sale of the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment, (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Standby Purchaser in this Agreement, (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus
Supplement or Resale Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus Supplement or Resale Prospectus that was delivered to the Standby Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Standby Purchaser or (v) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of any Standby Indemnified Person. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Standby Purchaser
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, agents, representatives, successors, assigns and employees and each other Person, if any, who controls
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or its Affiliates (all such Persons being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Company Indemnified Persons”), against any Losses to which any Company Indemnified
Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (X) any breach of a representation or warranty or breach of or failure
to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Standby Purchaser contained in this Agreement, (Y) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of the New Shares purchased
pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment or (Z) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, the Resale Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or an omission or
alleged omission to state therein a 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, in the forms first filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in the Prospectus
Supplement, the Resale Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates expressly for use therein; and the Standby
Purchaser will reimburse the Company Indemnified Person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such Losses;
provided, however, that the Standby Purchaser will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) the failure of the Company to perform any covenant and agreement contained in
this Agreement, (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or (iii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Company Indemnified Person. 
 (c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the threat or
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10 to the extent such indemnifying
party is not prejudiced as a result of such failure to promptly notify. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the 
  

 20 

 indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all
other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing
all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after
notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written
consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided, that such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10 in respect to any Losses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as
a result of any Losses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Standby Purchaser from the sale of the New Shares pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment
hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault
of the Company and the Standby Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement, including the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus
Supplement and/or the Resale Prospectus, that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and 
  

 21 

 the Standby Purchaser 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, or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the
Standby Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 10, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in
paragraph (c) of this Section 10 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no
additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Standby Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to
any Standby Indemnified Person and the obligations of the Standby Purchaser under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Standby Purchaser may otherwise have to any Company Indemnified Person. The remedies provided in
this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to the parties at law or in equity. 
 Section 11. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Attorney’s Fees. Each
party shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by such party, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Standby Purchaser up to an aggregate amount (including amounts paid pursuant to Section 6(b)(vii)
hereof) of $25,000.00. 
 (b) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed, in whole or in part,
except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Standby Purchaser.

discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Standby Purchasers, if any, in connection with the offering of such New Shares pursuant to the Resale Prospectus; 
 (viii) To cause the Resale Prospectus, and any post-effective amendments thereto to comply in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, as of their respective dates, to 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 were made, not misleading;

 Section 7. Post-Closing Covenants of Standby Purchaser and Restrictions on Transfer. In connection with the resale of the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment, each
Standby Purchaser shall have the following obligations: 
 (a) Post-Closing Covenants of Standby Purchaser. 

(i) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to register the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby
Purchase Commitment that each Standby Purchaser (i) shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the New Shares held by it and the intended method of disposition of the New Shares held by it as shall be reasonably required to
effect the registration of such New Shares and (ii) shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. 
 (ii) Each Standby Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6(b)(viii) and (xi), it shall immediately
discontinue its disposition of the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment until the receipt by such Standby Purchaser of copies of the supplemented or amended Resale Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(b)(viii).

 (b) Restrictions on Transfer. Each Standby Purchaser shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates do not, sell,
transfer, assign, convey, gift, mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly (“Transfer”), any New Shares purchased in the Standby Purchase Commitment; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not restrict in any manner a Transfer by such Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates (i) (x) to one or more of their respective Affiliates or (y) if a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner
of such partnership or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner, or if a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company or a retired member or to the estate of any such member or retired member, provided that the
transferee in each case agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 7(a), or (ii) to any other person in a private transaction if the Company first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably

  

 15 

 satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act or (iii) made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, that the Company shall have the right to receive an opinion of legal counsel for each Standby Purchaser or its Affiliate, as the case may
be, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, prior to the removal of the legend set forth in Section 7(d) hereof or (iv) made pursuant to a
registration statement declared effective by the Commission. Any purported Transfers of New Shares purchased in the Standby Purchase Commitment in violation of this Section 7 shall be null and void and no right, title or interest in or to such
New Shares shall be transferred to the purported transferee, buyer, donee, assignee or encumbrance holder. The Company will not give, and will not permit the Company’s transfer agent to give, any effect to such purported Transfer in its stock
records. 
 (c) Compliance with Laws. Each Purchaser shall, and shall ensure that their respective Affiliates shall,
observe and comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and all other requirements of applicable laws in connection with any permitted Transfer of the New Shares purchased in the Standby Purchase Commitment, including all requirements of
applicable laws relating to the use of insider information or the trading of securities while in the possession of nonpublic information. 
 (d) Restrictive Legends. Each Purchaser understands and agrees that the New Shares purchased pursuant to the Standby Purchase Commitment will bear a legend substantially similar to the legend set
forth below in addition to any other legend that may be required by applicable law or by any agreement between the Company and such Standby Purchaser. The legend below (or a substantially similar legend) may be removed pursuant to
Section 7(b)(iii) and Section 7(b)(iv) as provided above. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the legend below (or a substantially similar legend) shall be removed upon the earlier to occur of (i) the filing of the Resale
Prospectus with the Commission, and (ii) the lapse of six months from the date of the Closing, and the Company agrees to promptly issue a replacement stock certificate or certificates that do not contain such legend to each Standby Purchaser
upon receipt of the original stock certificate or certificates representing the New Shares from such Standby Purchaser. 
 “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED,
SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION
DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, the “Losses”) to which any Standby Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof

the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Prospectus Supplement or the

Prospectus Supplement, the Resale Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Standby Purchaser or its Affiliates expressly for use therein; and
such Standby Purchaser will reimburse the Company Indemnified Person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such Losses;

 (c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the threat or
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10 to the extent such indemnifying
party is not prejudiced as a result of such failure to promptly notify. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the 
  

 20 

 indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all
other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the
indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for
any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing
all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after
notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written
consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided, that such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10 in respect to any Losses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as
a result of any Losses referred to herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the applicable Standby Purchaser from the sale of the New Shares pursuant to the Standby Purchase
Commitment hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the
relative fault of the Company and such Standby Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement, including the Base Prospectus, the
Prospectus Supplement and/or the Resale Prospectus, that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and 
  

 21 

 such Standby Purchaser 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, or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by each
Standby Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 10, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in
paragraph (c) of this Section 10 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no
additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and each Standby Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to
any Standby Indemnified Person and the obligations of each Standby Purchaser under this Section 10 shall be in addition to any liability which each Standby Purchaser may otherwise have to any Company Indemnified Person. The remedies provided in
this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to the parties at law or in equity. 
 Section 11. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Attorney’s Fees. Each
party shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by such party, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to each Standby Purchaser up to an aggregate amount (including amounts paid pursuant to Section 6(b)(vii)
hereof) of $25,000.00. 
 (b) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed, in whole or in part,
except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each Standby Purchaser.
