 This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of February 8, 2013 (this
“Amendment”), is by and among ENBRIDGE ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the Lenders named on the signature pages hereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and the undersigned Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth in Section 2 herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are defined in
the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement. The interpretive provisions set forth in Section 1.02 of the Credit
Agreement shall apply to this Amendment. 
 SECTION 2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein contained, the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 (a) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting
the following defined terms in the appropriate alphabetical order: 
 “Commitment Increase” has the meaning
specified in Section 2.15(a). 
 “Incremental Commitment Activation Notice” means a written notice
substantially in the form of Exhibit F. 
 “Incremental Commitment Effective Date” means any Business Day
designated as such in an Incremental Commitment Activation Notice or, if later, the first date on which each condition set forth in Section 2.15(c) shall have been satisfied or waived with respect to the Commitment Increase contemplated
thereby. 
 “New Lender” has the meaning specified in Section 2.15(a). 

“New Lender Supplement” has the meaning specified in Section 2.15(a). 

 (b) Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows: 
 “2.15. Commitment Increases. 

(a) Subject to Section 2.15(c) below, the Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders (as
defined below)) may, from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, without the consent of any other Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any L/C Issuer (but with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender
and each L/C Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) with respect to any New Lender), agree that such Lenders shall provide additional Commitments or increase the amount of their respective Commitments, as the case may be
(each, a “Commitment Increase”), by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such Commitment Increase and (ii) the proposed applicable
Incremental Commitment Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Aggregate Commitments in effect at any time shall not exceed $1,500,000,000 and (B) each Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Commitment Increase unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. Any Person (other than an existing Lender) that
elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any Commitment Increase must meet the criteria to be an Eligible Assignee and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a New Lender Supplement substantially
in the form of Exhibit G (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), together with an Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable Tax forms required hereunder with respect to such Person, whereupon such Person (a “New
Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) The commitments under each Commitment Increase shall be deemed for all purposes part of the Commitments,
(ii) each Lender (including any New Lender) participating in such Commitment Increase shall become a Lender with respect to its Commitment and all matters relating thereto and (iii) the commitments under each Commitment Increase shall have
the same terms as the Commitments. On each Incremental Commitment Effective Date, (A) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including the New Lenders) and the Borrower of the effectiveness of the applicable Commitment Increase,
(B) each Lender (including each New Lender) shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, an amount, if positive, equal to (x) such Lender’s ratable portion of the aggregate Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its
Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitments, in each case, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) minus (y) such Lender’s ratable portion of the aggregate Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its
Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitments, in each case, without giving effect to such Commitment Increase), (C) promptly thereafter 

  
 2 

 
upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the amounts described in the foregoing clause (B), the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender, in same day funds, an amount such that the
portion of the aggregate Loans then outstanding owing to such Lender after giving effect to such payment by the Administrative Agent equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the aggregate Loans then outstanding (calculated based on its
Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitments outstanding, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and (D) the Borrower shall be responsible for paying to each Lender any breakage fees or costs in
accordance with Section 3.05 to the same extent as if any reallocation of outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) were deemed an optional prepayment made by the Borrower. 

(c) Each Commitment Increase shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions is
satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 10.01): 
 (i) The Administrative Agent shall have
received (A) an Incremental Commitment Activation Notice from each Lender (including any New Lender) participating in such Commitment Increase, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender (including such New Lender) and
(B) if applicable, with respect to any New Lender, a New Lender Supplement, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such New Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer, each in accordance with Section 2.15(a)
above. 
 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the applicable Incremental
Commitment Effective Date, from the Borrower, certifying as to the matters set forth in clause (iii) below. If required by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received such evidence of appropriate corporate
authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Commitment Increase in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such Commitment Increase. 

(iii) As of the applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or
would result from such Commitment Increase and (B) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V, and which are contained in any Loan Document furnished by the Borrower at any time under or in connection
herewith, shall be true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to a different date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01. 

  
 3 

 (b) The Exhibits to the Credit Agreement are hereby amended to add (i) Annex A
attached hereto as a new Exhibit F (Form of Incremental Commitment Activation Notice) and (ii) Annex B attached hereto as a new Exhibit G (Form of New Lender Supplement). 

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. 
 To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof: 
 (a) both immediately before and after giving effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement, and which are contained in
any Loan Document furnished by the Borrower at any time under, or in connection with, this Amendment or the Credit Agreement, are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to a different date,
in which case they are true and correct as of such date and except that the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the
most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement; 
 (b) both immediately before and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists; 
 (c) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower of the Amended Credit Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
other organizational action, and do not and will not (i) violate the terms of any of the Borrower’s Organization Documents, (ii) result in any breach of, constitute a default under, or require, pursuant to the express provisions
thereof, the creation of any consensual Lien on the properties of the Borrower under, any Contractual Obligation to which the Borrower is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which the Borrower or its
property is subject, or (iii) violate any Law, in each case with respect to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

(d) this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against
the Borrower in accordance with their terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;
and 
 (e) no approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required to be obtained or made by the Borrower by any material statutory law or regulation applicable to it as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, the Borrower of this Amendment or the
performance by, or enforcement against, the Borrower of the Amended Credit Agreement.

and the Conversion Price shall be determined as of the close of business on the date on which such written notice shall have been received by the Company and the Note or Notes representing the principal amount to be converted shall have been
surrendered as aforesaid. 
 (iii) Upon any conversion of the Notes, the Company shall pay to the holders of such Notes in cash
or Common Stock (at the option of the Company or the Initial Investor, determined in the same manner set forth in Section 2.2(iii) above) all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of conversion. 

(iv) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Note into Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Company Average Closing Price of one share of Common Stock as of the date of
conversion by the fractional share interest to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled. 

  
 14 

 (v) In case the principal amount represented by the Note or Notes surrendered pursuant to
Section 2.4(ii) exceeds the principal amount converted, the Company shall upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the Holder thereof at the expense of the Company, a new Note for the principal amount represented by the Note or Notes
surrendered which is not to be converted. 
 (vi) If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes
are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such change and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such change. 

(vii) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with
another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected (in each case other than a Change in Control or
Event of Default), then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder of a Note or Notes shall thereafter have
the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Conversion Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of such Note or Notes, such shares of stock, securities or assets as
would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion of the Notes, had such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without
limitation provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such
conversion rights. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holders of the Notes such shares of stock, securities or assets
as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations hereunder. 

  
 15 

 (viii) In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all
holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets, or subscription rights or warrants, the Conversion
Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding multiplied by the Company Average Closing Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as mutually determined by the Board and the Required Holders) of said assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Company Average Closing Price per share of Common Stock
immediately prior to such payment date. 
 (ix) An adjustment to the Conversion Price shall become effective immediately after
the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment. In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.4,
Holders of the Notes shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon the conversion of the Notes shall be subject thereafter to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Conversion Shares contained herein. 
 (x) Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then, and in each such case the Company shall give written notice thereof by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of the Notes,
which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. 

(xi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4, the number of Conversion Shares that may be
acquired by any Holder of a Note upon the conversion of its Notes shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder
and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act does not exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding (including for such purposes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (xii) On the first Trading Day immediately following the date that the closing bid
price of the Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq exceeds two (2) times the Conversion Price for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days, each Note shall automatically convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable whole shares of Common
Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(xi) above) as is obtained by multiplying the principal amount of such Note by the Conversion Price (as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.4), rounded down to the
nearest whole share. 

  
 16 

 (xiii) At any such time as (a) a majority of the Notes issued pursuant to this
Agreement have converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof (excluding for the purposes of such calculation all Notes converted pursuant to Section 2.3(ii)) or (b) the holders of a majority of the then outstanding
Notes elect to convert their Notes, then all remaining outstanding Notes shall automatically convert into such number of full paid and nonassessable whole shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(xi)
above) as is obtained by multiplying the principal amount of such Note plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon by the Conversion Price (as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.4), rounded down to the nearest whole share. 

2.5. Taxes. 
 (a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes,
except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Company) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to make
such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company
shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes. 
 (d)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Holder, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Holder or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Holder and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) Reserved. 

  
 17 

 (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the
Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Company shall deliver to the applicable Holder(s) the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Holders. 
 (g) Status
of Holders. (i) Any Holder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Company, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Holder, if reasonably requested by the
Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company to determine whether or not such Holder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.5(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)
below) shall not be required if in the Holder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Holder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Holder. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Holder that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company on or prior to the date on which such Holder becomes a
Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Holder is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Holder shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the Company) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), whichever of the following is
applicable: 
 (i) in the case of a Foreign Holder claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (ii) executed originals
of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  
 18 

 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Holder claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such Foreign Holder is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (iv) to the extent a Foreign Holder is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form
reasonably acceptable to the Company, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Holder is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such
Foreign Holder are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Holder may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Company on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Holder shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the Company) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Holder becomes a Holder under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company), executed originals of any other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Holder under any
Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Holder were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the
Code, as applicable), such Holder shall deliver to the Company at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Holder has complied with such
Holder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 Each Holder agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any
respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 19 

 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5), it shall pay
to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations
under this Section 2.5 shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Holder and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations. 
 2.6. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Holders. 
 (a) Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Holder requires the Company to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Holder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Holder pursuant to Section 2.5, then such Holder
shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Holder, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.5 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Holder to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Holder. 
 (b) Replacement of Holders. If the Company is required to pay
any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Holder or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Holder pursuant to Section 2.5 and, in each case, such Holder has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 2.6(a), then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, thirty (30) days following notice to such Holder, (i) redeem the Notes of such Holder in full at 100% of the principal amount being
redeemed or (ii) require such Holder to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.1), all of its interests, rights (other than its
existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to a permitted assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Holder, if a Holder
accepts such assignment); provided that: 

  
 20 

 (x) such Holder shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest
and fees) or the Company (as applicable); 
 (y) in the case of any assignment, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such payments thereafter; and 
 (z) in the case of any assignment, such assignment does not
conflict with applicable law. 
 A Holder shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Holder or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 3. Closing. Upon confirmation that the conditions to closing specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied or duly waived, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser Notes, issued
in such name or names as each Purchaser may designate, in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the signature pages attached hereto (in such denomination or denominations as such Purchaser may designate)
with instructions that such Notes are to be held for release to the Purchasers only upon payment in full of the Purchase Price to the Company by all Purchasers. Upon such receipt by the Purchasers of the Notes, each Purchaser shall promptly, but no
more than one (1) Business Day thereafter, cause a wire transfer in same day funds to be sent to the account of the Company as instructed in writing by the Company, in an amount representing such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the
Purchase Price as set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the signature pages to this Agreement. On the date (the “Closing Date”) the Company receives payment in full of the Purchase Price from all Purchasers, the Notes
shall be released to such Purchasers (the “Closing”). If the Company does not receive the payment in full of the Purchase Price from all Purchasers, the Closing shall not be effected and the Company shall, within one
(1) Business Day, return the Purchase Price to each of the Purchasers. The Closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, 2756 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, California 94025,
or at such other location and on such other date as the Company and the Purchasers shall mutually agree. 
 4.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers that: 
 4.1
Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all requisite
corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own or lease its properties, in each case as described in the SEC Filings. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or leasing of property makes such qualification or leasing necessary unless the failure to so qualify has not had and could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 21 

 4.2 Authorization. The Company has the corporate power and authority to enter into
this Agreement and has taken all requisite action on its part, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for (i) the authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, (ii) the authorization of the performance of
all obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, and (iii) the authorization, issuance (or reservation for issuance) and delivery of the Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion of the Notes. The Transaction Documents constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability,
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles. 
 4.3 Capitalization. The
Company has duly and validly authorized capital stock as set forth in the SEC Filings and in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and as in effect as of the Closing Date (the “Articles of
Incorporation”). All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights and were issued in full compliance
with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties. Except as described in the SEC Filings, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights, were issued in full compliance with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties and are owned by the Company, beneficially and of record, subject to no
lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim. Except as described in the SEC Filings, no Person is entitled to pre-emptive or similar statutory or contractual rights with respect to any securities of the Company. Except as described in the SEC Filings,
there are no outstanding warrants, options, convertible securities or other rights, agreements or arrangements of any character under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be obligated to issue any equity securities of any kind and
except as contemplated by this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently in negotiations for the issuance of any equity securities of any kind. Except as described in the SEC Filings and except for the Registration
Rights Agreement, there are no voting agreements, buy-sell agreements, option or right of first purchase agreements or other agreements of any kind among the Company and any of the securityholders of the Company relating to the securities of the
Company held by them. Except as described in the SEC Filings and except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, no Person has the right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, whether on a
demand basis or in connection with the registration of securities of the Company for its own account or for the account of any other Person. 

  
 22 

 Except as described in the SEC Filings, the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will
not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any other Person (other than the Holders) and will not result in the adjustment of the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

 Except as described in the SEC Filings, the Company does not have outstanding shareholder purchase rights or “poison
pill” or any similar arrangement in effect giving any Person the right to purchase any equity interest in the Company upon the occurrence of certain events. 
 4.4 Valid Issuance. Upon the due conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 2.4, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free
and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws. The Company has reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance
of the Conversion Shares upon the due conversion of the Notes, free and clear of all encumbrances and restrictions, except for restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws. 

4.5 Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents and the offer, issuance and sale
of the Notes require no consent of, action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Person, governmental body, agency, or official other than filings that have been made pursuant to applicable state securities laws and post-sale filings pursuant to
applicable state and federal securities laws which the Company undertakes to file within the applicable time periods. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Purchaser set forth in Section 5, the Company has
taken all action necessary to exempt the issuance and sale of the Notes, the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon the due conversion of the Notes and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents from the provisions of any
shareholder rights plan or other “poison pill” arrangement, any anti-takeover, business combination or control share law or statute binding on the Company or to which the Company or any of its assets and properties may be subject and any
provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended and as in effect as of the Closing Date (the “Bylaws”), that is or could reasonably be expected to become applicable to the
Holders as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Notes and the ownership, disposition or voting of the Notes by the Holders or the exercise of any right granted to the Holders pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 
 4.6 Delivery of SEC Filings; Business. The Company has made
available to the Purchasers through the EDGAR system, true and complete copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2012 (as amended prior to the date of this Agreement, the
“10-K”), and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(e), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the filing of the 10-K and during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement

described in the SEC Filings and the SEC Filings contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

  
 23 

 4.7 Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder shall be
used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company use the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder to pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash to
holders of Common Stock. 
 4.8 No Material Adverse Change. Since July 1, 2012, except as described in the SEC
Filings, there has not been: 
 (i) any change in the consolidated assets, liabilities, financial condition or operating
results of the Company from that reflected in the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (the “10-Q”), except for changes in the ordinary
course of business which have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate; 
 (ii) any declaration or payment of any dividend, or any authorization or payment of any distribution, on any of the capital stock of the Company, or any redemption or repurchase of any securities of the

a whole (as such business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted); 
 (vi) any change or amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation (other than in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) or Bylaws, or material change to any material contract or arrangement by which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or to which any of their respective
assets or properties is subject; 
 (vii) any material labor difficulties or labor union organizing activities with respect to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary;

 4.10 No Conflict, Breach, Violation or
Default. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the issuance and sale of the Notes will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of (a) any of the terms and provisions
of, or constitute a default under the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws (true and complete copies of which have been made available to the Purchasers through the EDGAR system), or (b) any statute, rule, regulation or order of any

Holder becoming eligible to be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144, upon the written request of such Holder, the Company shall or, in the case of Common Stock, shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer
Agent”) to issue replacement Notes. From and after the earlier of such dates, upon a Holder’s written request, the Company shall promptly cause such Holder’s Notes to be replaced with Notes which do not bear such restrictive
legends, and the Conversion Shares subsequently issued upon due conversion of the Notes shall not bear such restrictive legends provided the provisions of either clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as applicable, are satisfied with respect
thereto. In addition, upon the earlier of (i) registration of the Conversion Shares for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or (ii) the Conversion Shares becoming eligible to be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule
144, the Company shall (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall reissue a certificate representing shares of Common Stock without legends upon receipt by such Transfer Agent of the legended
certificates for such shares, together with either (1) a customary representation by the Holder that Rule 144 applies to the shares of Common Stock represented thereby or (2) a statement by the Holder that such Holder has sold the shares
of Common Stock represented thereby in accordance with the Plan of Distribution contained in the Registration Statement, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such
legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act. When the Company is required to cause an unlegended Note or certificate to replace a previously issued legended Note or certificate, if: (1) the unlegended Note certificate
is not delivered to a Holder within three (3) Business Days of submission by that Holder of a legended Note or certificate and supporting documentation to the Transfer Agent as provided above and (2) prior to the time such unlegended
certificate is received by the Holder after such three (3) Business Day period, the Holder , or any third party on behalf of such Holder or for the Holder’s account, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares represented by such certificate (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (for costs incurred either directly by such Holder or on behalf of a
third party) the amount by which the total purchase price paid for Common Stock as a result of the Buy-In (including brokerage commissions, if any) exceeds the proceeds received by such Holder as a result of the sale to which such Buy-In relates.
The Holder shall provide the Company written notice together with a reasonably detailed summary indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In. 
 7.9 Equal Treatment of Holders. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless
the same consideration is also offered to all of the Holders. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Holder by the Company and negotiated separately by each Holder, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Holders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Notes or otherwise. 

7.10 Registration Requirement. Within thirty (30) days the Closing Date, the Company shall file the
Registration Statement with the SEC covering the resale or other disposition of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes. All expenses incurred in connection with any such registration will be borne by the Company, excluding the
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Holders which shall be borne by the Holders in accordance with Section 10.5. 

  
 38 

 7.11 Dismissal of Tandberg Litigation. No more than ten (10) Business Days
following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take such actions as may be necessary to dismiss, without prejudice, the Tandberg Litigation. So long as FBC Holdings S.a.r.l. directly or indirectly owns a majority of outstanding shares of
Tandberg Data (Holdings) S.a.r.l., the Company covenants that none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns will sue Tandberg Data (Holdings) S.a.r.l., or any of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions, or affiliates
(collectively, “Tandberg”), or their respective distributors, partners, suppliers, customers (including OEM customers), end users, or successors, based on any claim that any products that Tandberg or any of its Subsidiaries
manufactures, uses, sells, or offers for sale in the marketplace, past, present, or hereafter, infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766, whether directly, indirectly, contributorily or otherwise, or any claim related thereto. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the foregoing covenant not to sue shall not apply to: (i) a business which Tandberg or its parents acquire subsequent to the date hereof; (ii) any third party companies that are currently in litigation with
the Company or products which have been formally accused of infringement by the Company as of the date hereof (other than in the Tandberg Litigation); or (iii) Third Party Products. For purposes of this Section 7.11,
“Third Party Products” means products that Tandberg purchases from suppliers and resells under the Tandberg brand name without modification and which are not designed by Tandberg. Components used in Tandberg products are not
Third Party Products. 
 7.12 Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or guaranty, or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to, any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness.

working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material properties used or useful in the business of Company and its Subsidiaries (including all Intellectual Property) and from time to time will make or cause to be made all
appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. 
 7.14 Restricted Junior Payment. Neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, declare, order, pay, make or set apart any sum for any Restricted Junior Payment, provided that (i) the Company may convert any of its convertible securities into other securities pursuant to the
terms of such convertible securities or otherwise in exchange thereof, (ii) the Company may repurchase the stock of former employees, directors, officers, or consultants pursuant to stock repurchase agreements or upon death, disability,
retirement, severance, or termination of such former employees, directors, officers, or consultants so long as an Event of Default does not exist at the time of such repurchase and would not exist after giving effect to such repurchase, provided
such repurchase does not exceed in the aggregate of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per fiscal year; and (iii) the Company may (but shall not be required) to pay proceeds, if any, of the BDT Litigation to its shareholders in the form of
dividends or distributions so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to any such transaction and (b) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its
Subsidiaries plus the availability under the SVB Credit Agreement (or any extension, renewal or refinancing thereof permitted hereunder) is not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.000) immediately after giving effect to any such payment.

  
 39 

 7.15 Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any property or asset of any kind (including any document or instrument in respect of goods or accounts receivable) of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or file or permit the filing of, or permit to remain in effect, any financing statement or other similar notice of any Lien with respect to any such property,
asset, income or profits under the UCC or under any similar recording or notice statute, except Permitted Encumbrances. 
 7.16
Stock Pledges. As soon as practicable and in any event no later than 30 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as Required Holders may agree), the Company and each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, Overland Storage (Europe)
Ltd., Overland Storage SARL and Overland Storage GmbH (collectively, the “Pledged Subsidiaries”), shall have executed and delivered stock pledge agreements governed by the local law of the jurisdiction of formation of each such
Pledged Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company shall grant the Purchasers a first priority security interest in 65% of the stock of each Subsidiary to secure the Notes (“Stock
Pledges”).

8.3 Involuntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc. 

A court having jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

 40

Subsidiaries under the Bankruptcy Laws; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee, custodian or other officer having similar powers over the Company or

Subsidiaries for all or a substantial part of its property; or a warrant of attachment, execution or similar process shall have been issued against any substantial part of the property of the Company, and any such event described in this clause

(ii); or 
 8.5 Dissolution. Any order, judgment or decree shall be entered against the Company or any of its

any of its Subsidiaries in pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall have been false in any material respect on the date as of which made; or 
 8.8 Judgments. Any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or similar process involving (i) in any individual case an amount in excess of $1,000,000 over the amount covered by
independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by the applicable insurance carrier or (ii) in the aggregate at any time an amount in excess of $1,000,000 over the amount covered by independent third-party insurance as

 9. Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until the
satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations (other than unasserted indemnification obligations). 
 10. Miscellaneous.

 10.1 Successors and Assigns. No Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company or the
Holders, as applicable, provided, however, that a Holder may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a third party acquiring some or all of its Notes in a transaction complying with
applicable securities laws without the prior written consent of the Company or the other Investors, provided that the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Company an assignment and assumption agreement. The provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share
exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be
deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Common Stock” shall be deemed to refer to the securities received by the Investors in
connection with such transaction. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or
by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company shall maintain at one of its offices located in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the principal
amounts (and stated interest thereon) owing to each Holder pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Absent demonstrable error, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Company and the Holders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Holder, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 42 

 10.2 Counterparts; Faxes. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile or pdf, which shall be deemed an original. 

10.3 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be
considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telex
or telecopier, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or
(B) three (3) days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one (1) Business Day after

 10.5 Expenses. The parties hereto shall pay their own costs and expenses in connection herewith
and the parties hereto hereby acknowledge that each of the Company and each Purchaser has relied for such matters on the advice of its own respective counsel. In the event that legal proceedings are commenced by any party to this Agreement against
another party to this Agreement in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the party or parties which do not prevail in such proceedings shall severally, but not jointly, pay their pro rata share of the reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in such proceedings. 
 10.6 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that that no such amendment shall, without the consent of each Holder directly affected, increase the Purchase Price required to
be paid by such Holder or otherwise increase the amount of the loans extended to the Company as set forth herein. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any Notes purchased under this
Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such Notes, and the Company. 
 10.7
Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Holders without the prior consent of the Company (in the case of a release or
announcement by the Holders) or the Holders (in the case of a release or announcement by the Company) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or
regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Company or the Holders, as the case may be, shall allow the Holders or the Company, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, reasonable
time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. By 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue a press release disclosing the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No later than the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC attaching the press release described in the foregoing sentence as well as copies of the
Transaction Documents. In addition, the Company will make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the SEC or Nasdaq. 

  
 44 

 10.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, but shall be interpreted as if it were written so
as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. 
 10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits, and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof
and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 10.10 Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the
transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained. 
 10.11 Governing Law;
Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within the
State of New York (except to the extent the provisions of the California Corporations Code would be mandatorily applicable to the issuance of the Shares or the Conversion Shares). Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices
under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the
laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWABLE
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.

  
 45 

 10.12 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations
of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any
Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Notes pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action
taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a
group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and
that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Notes or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its
rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the
purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser.

 2. Registration. 

(a) Registration Statements. 
 (i) Promptly following the closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) but no later than thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then
available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Subject to any SEC comments (that cannot be resolved despite commercially reasonable efforts of the Company), such
Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit A and as otherwise reasonably requested by the Required Purchasers; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be named as an
“underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule
416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common
Stock or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness
thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Purchasers and their counsel (for their review and reasonable comment) prior to its filing or other submission. 

(ii) Additional Registrable Securities. Upon the written demand of any Purchaser and upon any change in the Conversion Price such
that additional shares of Common Stock become issuable upon the conversion of the Notes (the “Additional Shares”), the Company shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days of any such written demand)
prepare and file with the SEC one or more Registration Statements on Form S-3, if such Registration Statement has not previously been declared effective, amend the Registration Statement filed pursuant to clause (i) above (or, if Form S-3 is
not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Additional Shares) covering the resale of the Additional Shares, but only to the extent the Additional Shares
are not at the time covered by an effective Registration Statement. Subject to any SEC comments (that cannot be resolved despite commercially reasonable efforts of the Company), such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution
attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. Such Registration Statement also
shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions
with respect to the Additional Shares. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers. The Registration
Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Purchasers and their counsel (for their review and reasonable
comment) prior to its filing or other submission. 

  
 5 

 (b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration,
including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, but excluding fees and expenses
of counsel to the Purchasers, which shall be paid by the Purchasers, and any discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being
sold. 
 (c) Effectiveness. 
 (i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including
any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. By the second Business Day following the date a Registration Statement has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule
424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company shall notify the Purchasers by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four
(24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Purchasers with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered
thereby. 
 (ii) For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) total
days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 2 in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such
suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or
(B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or 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 the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall
promptly (a) notify each Purchaser in writing of the commencement of and the reasons for an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of a Purchaser) disclose to such Purchaser any material non-public information giving
rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Purchasers in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate the Allowed Delay as promptly as
practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended Registrable Securities to a transferee of a Purchaser in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which
a Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of the notice of a Allowed Delay and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled. 

  
 6 

 (d) Rule 415; Cutback If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of
some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any Purchaser to be named as an
“underwriter,” the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the
issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Purchaser is an “underwriter.” The Purchasers shall have the right to participate or have their counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the
SEC’s position and to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Purchasers’ counsel reasonably objects. In the
event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such
portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the
Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Purchaser as an “underwriter” in such
Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Purchaser (and that the Company shall not be required to do so even if such Purchaser consents to be named as an underwriter). Any cut-back imposed on the Purchaser pursuant to this
Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Purchaser on a pro rata basis. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly file and have declared effective a Registration Statement covering the Cut Back Shares, and from
and after such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date” of such Cut Back Shares), all of the provisions of
this Section 2 shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be not more than ten (10) Business Days
after such Restriction Termination Date. 
 3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts
to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: 
 (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date
on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Purchaser in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired; 

  
 7 

 (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the
Registrable Securities covered thereby until such time as all of such Registrable Shares have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Purchaser(s) thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; and in the
case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the 1934 Act, the Company shall have incorporated
such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or
supplement such Registration Statement; and by the Business Day following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be
used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement; 
 (c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated
by the Purchasers to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than five (5) days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects; 

(d) furnish to the Purchasers and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with
the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary
prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case
relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Purchaser that are covered by the related
Registration Statement; 
 (e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other
suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment; 
 (f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Purchasers and their counsel in connection with the
registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Purchasers and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or
advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto
to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject
but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

  
 8 

 (g) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; 

(h) immediately notify the Purchasers, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the
happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus 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 not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and 
 (i) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933
Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform the Purchasers in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not
satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Purchasers are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to
facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period
of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the
purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal
quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter). 
 (j) With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchasers to sell shares
of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six (6) months
after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold;
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to each Purchaser upon request, as long as such Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a
written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information
as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration. 

  
 9 

 4. Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make available, during normal
business hours and upon prior written notice, for inspection and review by the Purchasers, advisors to and representatives of the Purchasers (who may or may not be affiliated with the Purchasers and who the Required Purchasers have approved through
prior written consent), all financial and other records, all SEC Filings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the
purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Purchasers or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in
connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Purchasers and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and
the accuracy of such Registration Statement. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not disclose or provide any
access to material nonpublic information to the Purchasers, or to advisors to or representatives of the Purchasers, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and
provides the Purchasers, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Purchaser wishing to obtain such information enters into a customary confidentiality
agreement with the Company with respect thereto. 
 5. Obligations of the Purchasers. 

(a) Each Purchaser shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and
the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date
of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the information the that is reasonably necessary from such Purchaser if such Purchaser elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.
A Purchaser shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Purchaser elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in
the Registration Statement. 
 (b) Each Purchaser, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the
Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement. 

  
 10 

 (c) Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either
(i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h), such Purchaser will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Purchaser is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made. 
 6. Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The
Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the
meaning of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished
by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky
Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company
or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or
qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on a
Purchaser’s behalf and will reimburse each such Purchaser Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Purchaser Indemnified Party or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. 

  
 11 

 (b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. Each Purchaser agrees, severally but not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such
Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Purchaser be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of
all expenses of sale and net of all expenses paid by such Purchaser in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to
the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that
any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of
any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such
person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure
of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the
defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for
all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. No indemnifying party shall be liable to any indemnified party under this Agreement for any settlement by such indemnified party
effected without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless,
other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled
to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses of
sale and net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

 EXHIBIT A 

Plan of Distribution 
 The selling shareholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after
the date of this prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, dividend, distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of
common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing
market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. 
 The selling shareholders may use any
one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein: 
  

	 	•	 	 ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; 

 

	 	•	 	 block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction; 

  

	 	•	 	 purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; 

 

	 	•	 	 an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 

 

	 	•	 	 privately negotiated transactions; 

  

	 	•	 	 short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

  

	 	•	 	 through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

  

	 	•	 	 broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

  

	 	•	 	 a combination of any such methods of sale; and 

  

	 	•	 	 any other method permitted by applicable law. 

 The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured
obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act
amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances,
in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. 

 In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling
shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also
sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus,
which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). 
 The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the
selling shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from this offering. 
 The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in
reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided, that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule. 
 The selling shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be, “underwriters” within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling shareholders who are
“underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 
 To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or
underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this
prospectus. 
 In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these
jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is
available and is complied with. 
  

 We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of
Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be
supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. 
 We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by
this prospectus. 
 We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus
constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be
sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
