decision with respect to its acquisition of the Purchase Shares. 

  

	 	d.	 No Governmental Review. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other

Securities Laws and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial

statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including, but not limited to, internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and
(iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences, and the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language
incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings is accurate. The Internal Controls are overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) in accordance with Exchange Rules. The Company has not publicly disclosed or
reported to the Audit Committee or the Board, and within the next 90 days the Company does not reasonably expect to publicly disclose or report to the Audit Committee or the Board, a significant deficiency, material weakness, adverse change in
Internal Controls or fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in Internal Controls, any violation of, or failure to comply with, the Securities Laws, or any matter which, if determined adversely, would have a
Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regards to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company have made all certifications
required by Sarbanes Oxley and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, and the statements contained in each such certification are complete and correct. 

 

	 	bb.	 Required Filings. The Company has timely filed or furnished with the SEC all SEC Filings required to be
filed or furnished by it under the Securities Act and Exchange Act. The SEC Filings were prepared in accordance with and, as of the date on which each such SEC Filing was filed or furnished with the SEC, complied in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act. None of such SEC Filings, including, without limitation, any financial statements, exhibits and schedules included therein and documents incorporated therein by reference, at the time
filed or furnished, declared effective or mailed, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

  

	 	cc.	 Shell Company Status. The Company is not currently, and has never been, an issuer identified in Rule
144(i)(1) under the Securities Act. 

  

	 	dd.	 No Disqualification Events. None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any
director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering contemplated hereby, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor
any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor”
disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Company has
exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. 

  

	 	ee.	 No General Solicitation; No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, any of its Affiliates, or any
Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation in connection with the offer or sale of the Purchase Shares. Assuming the accuracy of the Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2, none of the Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six (6) months, made any offers or
sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) or otherwise require registration under the
Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Purchase Shares or (ii) cause the offering of the Purchase Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or
stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market.

	 	ff.	 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of
the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The
SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. The Company has not, in the previous twelve
(12) months, received (i) written notice from the Principal Market that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of Principal Market that would result in immediate delisting or (ii) any
notification, Staff Delisting Determination, or Public Reprimand Letter (as such terms are defined in applicable listing rules of the Principal Market) that requires a public announcement by the Company of any noncompliance or deficiency with
respect to such listing or maintenance requirements. The Company is in compliance with all listing and maintenance requirements of the Principal Market on the date hereof. 

 

	 	gg.	 Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements. The Company and the Board have taken all
necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
Charter Documents or the laws of the State of Delaware that is or would reasonably be expected to become applicable to the Buyer as a result of the Buyer and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Purchase Shares and each Buyer’s ownership of the Purchase Shares. 

  

	 	hh.	 Related Party Transactions. The Company is not indebted, directly or indirectly, to any of its
stockholders, officers, or directors or to their respective Affiliates, spouses or children, in any amount whatsoever other than in connection with payments for services rendered and for expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary
course of business or relocation expenses of employees. To the Company’s Knowledge, none of the Company’s stockholders, officers, or directors, or any Affiliates thereof or members of their immediate families, are, directly or indirectly,
indebted to the Company (other than in connection with purchases of the Company’s stock) or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any entity with which the Company is Affiliated or with which the Company has a business relationship,
or any entity which competes with the Company, except that officers, directors and/or stockholders of the Company may own stock in (but not exceeding two percent (2%) of the outstanding capital stock of) any publicly traded company that may compete
with the Company. None of the Company’s stockholders, officers, or directors or any members of their immediate families are, directly or indirectly, interested in any material contract with the Company (other than to the extent any such person
or entity is a party to an agreement). Other than (i) standard employee benefits generally made available to all employees, (ii) standard director and officer indemnification agreements approved by the Board, (iii) the purchase of
shares of the Company’s capital stock and the issuance of options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in each instance, approved by the Board, and (iv) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there are no
agreements, understandings, or proposed transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors, Affiliates, or any Affiliate thereof.

limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver the Purchase Shares to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents. 

  

	 	c.	 Integration. From and after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates
will, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Person acting on their behalf will, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would (i) require registration of the offer and sale by the Company to the Buyer of any of the Purchase Shares under the Securities Act, or (ii) cause this offering of the Purchase Shares by the Company to the Buyer to be integrated with
other offerings of securities by the Company in a manner that would require stockholder approval pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, unless in the case
of this clause (ii), stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction in accordance with the rules of such Principal Market. 

 

	 	d.	 Takeover Provisions. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the
Company, any other Person, that a Buyer is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision in
effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that a Buyer could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in either case solely by virtue of purchasing the Purchase Shares under this Agreement.

amount invested on the Closing Date for the first year, and (ii) a rate of 25 basis points per annum on the amount invested on the Closing Date annually thereafter, all for so long as the Buyer and its Affiliates collectively hold at least 60%
of the Purchase Shares (or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof). Notwithstanding the forgoing, Buyer Directors will not be paid any compensation for serving on the Company’s Board or any of its committees, and the Company will not
reimburse the Buyer Directors for reasonable out of pocket expenses; provided that to the extent one of the Buyer Directors is not an employee of Buyer, the Company may compensate such Buyer Director for their role as a director consistent
with other directors, as shall be reasonably determined by the Company and Buyer. 

  

	 	f.	 Transaction Fees. The Company shall, on the Closing Date, reimburse Buyer for all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction, not to exceed $150,000. 

 

	 	g.	 Information Rights. The Company will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Buyer such additional

operations in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and use and use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) preserve intact its present business organization; (2) maintain good relationships with its vendors,
suppliers, and others having material business relationships with it; and (3) manage its working capital in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and, except as

directly or indirectly, any merger or business combination involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; 

  

	 	2.	 acquire additional shares of Common Stock (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock
issuable by the Company upon conversion of any accrued dividends on the Purchase Shares pursuant to the terms thereof) without the consent of the Board if the effect of such acquisition would be to increase the percentage of total voting power of
the Company represented by all Common Stock beneficially owned by the Buyer, including any Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any Purchase Shares, to more than 19.9% of the Company’s shares of Common Stock then outstanding;

Section 5.d shall not affect the Buyer’s ability to hold the Purchase Shares or the Common Stock underlying the Purchase Shares, (ii) the prohibitions in this Section 5.d shall not
prevent the Buyer from making any confidential offer or proposal to the Board for a potential transaction (including a Change of Control transaction), and (iii) if (w) a Change of Control of the Company has occurred, (x) the Company has
entered into an agreement providing for a Change of Control of the Company, or (y) any third party has made a public offer or proposal (including a tender or exchange offer) or publicly announced an intention to make any such offer or proposal

the Company, the Buyer must either (i) sell Purchase Shares or shares of Common Stock to the Company or its designee, as soon as reasonably practicable after it receives notice thereof from the Company, at the closing price of the Common Stock
on a Trading Market on the day prior to the date on which the Buyer receives such notice, or (ii) sell such shares to a third party as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such notice (which sale shall not be restricted by

	 	e.	 Lock-Up. From the Closing Date until the earlier of
(i) May 30, 2024 and (ii) receipt by the Buyer of a notice of Company redemption of Purchase Shares pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations (the “Termination Date”), the Buyer hereby agrees not

permitted or contemplated by the Transaction Documents after the date hereof requires any antitrust or other regulatory filings under Applicable Law, then the Buyer and the Company agree to make any such required filings and to cooperate with each
other in making any such filings and obtaining and maintaining any related regulatory approvals, consents, authorizations and the expiration or termination of any statutory waiting periods relating thereto, including providing one another any
information reasonably required from each other with respect thereto, in each case as promptly as practicable.

Regular Dividends will cease to accumulate on such Convertible Preferred Stock from and after such Conversion Date; and (3) the rights of the Holders of such Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Convertible
Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive such Conversion Consideration as provided in Section 8 (and, if applicable, declared Dividends as provided in Section 4(c)).

quarterly in arrears at a rate per annum equal to the Regular Dividend Rate on the Stated Value with respect to such share deemed to be in effect commencing on the day immediately following the most recent Regular Dividend Payment Date, regardless
of whether or not declared or funds are legally available for their payment (such dividends that accumulate on the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this sentence, “Regular Dividends”). Subject to the other provisions of this
Section 4, such Regular Dividends will be payable in cash on each Regular Dividend Payment Date, provided, that if not paid in cash by the respective Regular Dividend

  
 10 

 
Payment Date, such accrued Regular Dividends will be deemed to have been paid in kind, and the Stated Value with respect to each share of Preferred Stock shall be increased as of the applicable
Regular Dividend Payment Date by an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid Regular Dividend with respect thereto for the immediately prior Regular Dividend Period (or, if there is not a preceding Regular Dividend Payment Date as to which such share
of Convertible Preferred Stock was outstanding, on the Initial Stated Value of each such share of Convertible Preferred Stock). Accrued Regular Dividends will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year. 

(b) Participating Dividends. No dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock (whether in cash, securities or other property, or
any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid, respectively, on each outstanding share of Convertible
Preferred Stock (such a dividend or distribution on such share of Convertible Preferred Stock, a “Participating Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, the “Common Stock Participating
Dividend”), such that (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same dates as the Record Date and payment date, respectively, for such Common Stock Participating Dividend; and (2) the
kind and amount of consideration payable per share of Convertible Preferred Stock in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Stock Participating Dividend in respect of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 8 but without regard to Section 8(d)(ii) and
Section 8(f)) in respect of one (1) share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such Record Date (subject to the same arrangements, if any, in such Common Stock
Participating Dividend not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property, but with such arrangement applying separately to each Holder and computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held
by such Holder on such Record Date). 
 (c) Treatment of Dividends Upon Redemption or Conversion. If the Redemption Date or Conversion
Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Record
Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related Redemption or Conversion, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared Dividend on such share in cash; provided, that to
the extent such dividend is not paid in cash, the amount of such dividend shall be added to the Stated Value with respect to such share in effect on such Redemption Date or Conversion Date. Except as provided in this
Section 4(c) or Section 6(d), Regular Dividends on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the Redemption Date or Conversion Date, as applicable, for such
share, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the related Redemption Price or Conversion Consideration, as applicable. 

  
 11 

 Section 5. RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION,
DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. 
 (a) Generally. If the
Company liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors and the Change of Control Redemption required by Section 6(g) below, each
share, or fraction thereof, of Convertible Preferred Stock, as applicable, will entitle the Holder thereof to receive payment for the greater of the amounts set forth in clause (i) and (ii) below out of the Company’s assets
or funds legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders, before any such assets or funds are distributed to, or set aside for the benefit of, the Common Stock: 

(i) the sum of: 

(1) the Stated Value per share (or fraction thereof) of Convertible Preferred Stock; and 

(2) all unpaid Regular Dividends that will have accumulated on such share (or fraction thereof) from the immediately preceding
Regular Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of such payment; or 
 (ii) the amount such Holder would have
received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 8 but without regard to Section 8(d)(ii) and
Section 8(f)) upon conversion of such share (or fraction thereof) of Convertible Preferred Stock assuming the Conversion Date of such conversion occurs on the date of such payment. 

Upon payment of such amount in full on the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights to the
Company’s remaining assets or funds, if any. If such assets or funds are insufficient to fully pay such amount on all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors, such
assets or funds will be distributed ratably on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the full respective distributions to which such shares would otherwise be entitled. 

(b) Certain Business Combination Transactions Deemed to Be a Liquidation. For purposes of Section 5(a), the
Company’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, or the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than a sale, lease or other transfer in connection with the Company’s
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to, another Person will constitute the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

election, to redeem, subject to the right of the Holders to convert the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 after receipt of the Company Redemption Notice but prior to such redemption, all, or any
number of shares or fraction thereof that is less than all, of the Convertible Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time, on a Company Redemption Date, for a cash purchase price equal to the Company Redemption Price (such redemption, a
“Company Redemption”). 

  
 12 

 (b) Redemption Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. The Company will not call
for Company Redemption, or otherwise send a Company Redemption Notice in respect of the Company Redemption of, any share of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 unless (i) the Company has sufficient
funds legally available, and is permitted under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money, to fully pay the Company Redemption Price in cash in respect of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock called for Company Redemption and
(ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 150% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last
Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a Company Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(e). 

(c) Company Redemption Date. The Company Redemption Date for any Company Redemption will be a Business Day of the Company’s
choosing that is no less than thirty (30) calendar days after the Company Redemption Notice Date for such Company Redemption, but in no event prior to the fourth year anniversary of the Initial Issue Date. 

(d) Company Redemption Price. The Company Redemption Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased
pursuant to a Company Redemption is an amount in cash equal to (1) the product of (x) the Company Redemption Price Premium and (y) the Initial Stated Value of such share at the Close of Business on the Company Redemption Date for such
Redemption plus (2) the difference between the Stated Value then in effect with respect to such share and the Initial Stated Value, if any, plus (3) accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on such share from the immediately preceding
Regular Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, such Company Redemption Date (to the extent such accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends are not included in the Stated Value set forth in subclause (2) above). In the event of any fractional
shares, the Company Redemption Price shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. 
 (e) Company Redemption Notice. To call
any share of Convertible Preferred Stock for Company Redemption, the Company must send to the Holder of such share a notice of such Company Redemption (a “Company Redemption Notice”). Such Company Redemption Notice must state: 

(1) that such share has been called for Company Redemption, briefly describing the Company’s Company Redemption right under this
Certificate of Designations; 
 (2) the Company Redemption Date for such Company Redemption; 

(3) the Company Redemption Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock; 

(4) if the Company Redemption Date is after a Record Date and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, that such Dividend will be paid in
accordance with Section 4(c); 

  
 13 

 (5) that such share of Convertible Preferred Stock called for Company Redemption may be
converted at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Company Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Company Redemption Price due on such Company Redemption Date in full, at any time until such
time as the Company pays such Company Redemption Price in full); 
 (6) the Conversion Price in effect with respect to such share on the
Company Redemption Notice Date for such Company Redemption; and 
 (7) the CUSIP numbers, if any, of the Convertible Preferred Stock. 

(f) Selection and Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock Subject to Partial Redemption. If less than all shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock then outstanding are called for Company Redemption, then: 
 (1) the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be subject to
such Company Redemption will be redeemed by the Company pro rata; and 
 (2) if only a portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock is
called for Company Redemption and a portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock is converted, then the converted portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to be from the portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock that was called
for Company Redemption. 
 (g) Payment of the Company Redemption Price. Subject to Section 4(c), the Company
will cause the Company Redemption Price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to Company Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Company Redemption Date. 

(h) Redemption of Convertible Preferred Stock upon a Change of Control. Subject to the other terms of this
Section 6, if a Change of Control occurs, then the Company will redeem, contingent upon and contemporaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control, but subject to the right of the Holders to convert the
Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 after receipt of the Change of Control Redemption Notice but prior to such redemption, all of the Convertible Preferred Stock on the Change of Control Redemption Date for
such Change of Control for a cash purchase price equal to the Change of Control Redemption Price. The Change of Control Redemption Date for any Change of Control will be the effective date of the Change of Control and Change of Control Redemption
Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed upon a Change of Control Redemption following a Change of Control is an amount in cash equal to the greater of (x) the sum of (1) One Hundred and Five Percent (105%) of the
Initial Stated Value of such share at the Close of Business on the Change of Control Redemption Date for such Change of Control plus (2) the difference between the Stated Value then in effect with respect to such share and the Initial Stated
Value, if any, plus (3) accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on such share from the immediately preceding Regular Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, such Change of Control Redemption Date (to the extent such accumulated and unpaid
Regular Dividends are not included in the Stated Value set forth in subclause (2) above) and (y) the amount such Holder would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such
share of 

  
 14 

 
Convertible Preferred Stock (determined in accordance with Section 8 but without regard to Section 8(d)(ii) and
Section 8(f)) assuming the Conversion Date of such conversion occurs on the date of such payment. The Company will cause the Change of Control Redemption Price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed
pursuant to a Change of Control Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the later of (i) the applicable Change of Control Redemption Date and (ii) the date such share is tendered to the Transfer Agent or the Company. 

 

	 	(i)	 Change of Control Redemption Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day before the effective date of a Change of Control, the Company shall send to each Holder a notice of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Redemption Notice”)
containing the information set forth in this Section 6(i). Such Change of Control Redemption Notice must state: (1) a brief description of the events causing such Change of Control; (2) the effective date of such
Change of Control; (3) the Change of Control Redemption Date for such Change of Control; (4) the Change of Control Redemption Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock; (5) if the Change of Control Redemption Date is after a
Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, that such Dividend will be paid in accordance with Section 4(c); (6) the Conversion Price in effect on
the date of such Change of Control Redemption Notice and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the Conversion Price that may result from such Change of Control; and (7) that shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for which a
Change of Control Redemption Notice has been duly tendered and not duly withdrawn must be delivered to the Company for the Holder thereof to be entitled to receive the Change of Control Redemption Price. If the underlying Change of Control has been
terminated or cancelled and the Company has delivered a Change of Control Redemption Notice with respect to any share(s) of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall withdraw such Change of Control Redemption Notice by delivering a written
notice of withdrawal to the Holders at any time before the Close of Business on Change of Control Redemption Date. Such withdrawal notice must state: (1) if such share(s) are represented by one or more Physical Certificates, the certificate
number(s) of such Physical Certificates(s); and (2) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be no less than all of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

 SECTION 7. VOTING RIGHTS. The Convertible
Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 7 or as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or required by the Delaware General Corporation Law. 

(a) Right to Designate Directors. 

(i) Generally. For so long as not less than 60% of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock originally issued remain outstanding (the
“Preferred Stock Director Designation Right Condition”), the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right at any election of directors
to elect (A) two (2) of the 

  
 15 

 
authorized directors on the Board of Directors of the corporation if the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors is nine (9) directors or fewer, or (B) three (3) of the
authorized directors on the Board of Directors if the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors is ten (10) directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”). 

(ii) Removal of the Preferred Stock Directors. At any time, a Preferred Stock Director may be removed with or without
cause only by the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to elect such director. 

(iii) The Right to Call A Special Meeting to Elect Preferred Stock Directors. At all times when the Preferred Stock
Director Designation Right Condition is satisfied, the Holders representing at least twenty five percent (25%) of the voting power of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to call a special meeting of stockholders for the election of
Preferred Stock Directors (including an election to fill any vacancy in the office of Preferred Stock Directors). Such right may be exercised by written notice, executed by such Holders delivered to the Company at its principal executive offices.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(a)(iii), if the Company’s next annual or special meeting of stockholders is scheduled to occur within ninety (90) days after such right is exercised, and
the Company is otherwise permitted to conduct such election at such next annual or special meeting, then such election will instead be included in the agenda for, and conducted at, such next annual or special meeting. 

(b) Voting. 

(i) Generally. The Holders will have the right to vote together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock
on each matter submitted for a vote or consent by the holders of the Common Stock, and, for these purposes, (i) the Convertible Preferred Stock of each Holder will entitle such Holder to be treated as if such Holder were the holder of record,
as of the record or other relevant date for such matter, of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 8(d), including
Section 8(d)(ii)) upon conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock assuming such Convertible Preferred Stock were converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such record or other relevant date; and (ii) the
Holders will be entitled to notice of all matters to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company, and the Delaware General Corporation Law as if the Holders were holders
of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting rights set forth in this Section 7(b) will be limited or eliminated, as applicable, to the same extent to which the right to convert the Convertible Preferred Stock is
limited or eliminated pursuant to Section 8(f). 
 (ii) As a Separate Class. While any share
of Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, each following event by the Company will require, and cannot be effected without, the affirmative vote or consent of Holders, representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock, if any: 

  
 16 

 (1) effect any authorization, creation, or issuance of (or any obligation to
authorize, create, or issue) any securities of the Company having rights, preferences, or privileges senior to or on a parity with any of the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Convertible Preferred Stock, whether by merger, reclassification
or otherwise; 
 (2) effect any alteration, repeal, change, or amendment of the rights, privileges, or preferences of the
Convertible Preferred Stock; 
 (3) amend, modify, or repeal any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
(including this Certificate of Designations) or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Convertible Preferred Stock; 
 (4) effect
any change in the authorized number of directors of the Company to a number greater than ten (10); 
 (5) effect any
transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand (excluding (A) any transaction between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any compensation that has been approved by the Compensation
Committee (or any successor committee) of the Board of Directors, or (C) any transaction approved by either the Audit Committee (or any successor committee) of the Board of Directors or by a majority of the directors who do not have an interest
adverse to the Company in the relevant transaction); 
 (6) except as provided herein, declare or pay dividends or make any
distribution with respect to any Capital Stock of the Company at any time the Company has any indebtedness outstanding; 

(7) incur any indebtedness (including any existing indebtedness as of the filing date of this Certificate of Designations) in
excess of $500 million (it being understood that lease obligations are not considered indebtedness for purposes hereof), or encumber or grant a security interest in all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in connection with any
such indebtedness of the Company, excepting such security interests existing on the date of the filing of this Certificate of Designations; or 

(8) agree or consent to any of the actions prohibited by this Section 7(b)(ii); 

Section 8. CONVERSION. 

(a) Generally. The Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 8. 

  
 17 

 (b) Conversion at the Option of the Holders. 

(i) Conversion Right; When Shares May Be Submitted for Conversion. Holders will have the right to submit all, or any
number of shares or fraction thereof that is less than all, of their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for Conversion at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of
Designations, shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are called for (a) Company Redemption may not be submitted for Conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Company Redemption Date or
(b) Change of Control Redemption may not be submitted for Conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Change of Control Redemption Date; provided, that, in either case, if the Company fails
to pay the Company Redemption Price or the Change of Control Redemption Price (as applicable) due on such Company Redemption Date or Change of Control Redemption Date (as applicable) in full, Holders shall have the right to submit such shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock called for Company redemption for Conversion at any time until such time as the Company pays such Company Redemption Price or Change of Control Redemption Price (as applicable) in full. 

(ii) A Holder delivering a conversion notice hereunder may specify in such conversion notice that its election to effect such
conversion is contingent upon the consummation of a Change of Control, in which case such Conversion shall not occur until such time as such Change of Control has been consummated, and if such Change of Control is terminated or cancelled, such
conversion notice shall be deemed to be duly withdrawn. For the avoidance of doubt, any such contingent Conversion shall occur prior to the Change of Control Redemption that would have otherwise been effected in connection with such Change of
Control. 
 (c) Conversion Procedures. 

(i) Requirements for Holders to Exercise Conversion Right. 

(1) Generally. To convert any share or fraction thereof of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Holder of such share must
(w) complete, sign and deliver to the Company a conversion notice; (x) deliver any Physical Certificate(s) representing such Convertible Preferred Stock to the Company (at which time, subject to Section 8(b)(ii),
such Conversion will become irrevocable); (y) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company may require; and (z) if applicable, pay any documentary or other taxes required pursuant to Section 9(d).

 (2) Conversion Permitted only During Business Hours. Convertible Preferred Stock may be surrendered for Conversion
only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day. 
 (ii) Treatment of
Accumulated Regular Dividends upon Conversion. 
 (1) No Adjustments for Accumulated Regular Dividends. Without
limiting the operation of Sections 4(a) and 8(d)(i), the Conversion Price will not be adjusted to account for any accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted. 

  
 18 

 (2) Conversions Between A Record Date and a Dividend Payment Date. If
the Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then such Dividend will be paid
pursuant to Section 4(c) notwithstanding such conversion. In the event of any fractional shares, such Dividends shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. 

(iii) When Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Person in
whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion. 

(d) Settlement upon Conversion. 

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 4(c), Section 8(d)(ii),
Section 8(f) and Section 10(b), the number of shares due upon settlement of the conversion of each share (or fraction thereof) of Convertible Preferred Stock will consist of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the sum of (x) the Stated Value of such share (or fraction thereof) of Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such
conversion and (y) an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on such share (or fraction thereof) of Convertible Preferred Stock to, but excluding, such Conversion Date (but only to the extent such accumulated and unpaid
Regular Dividends are not included in the Stated Value referred to in the preceding clause (x)); by (II) the Conversion Price. By way of example, on the Initial Issue Date, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall convert into three
(3) shares of Common Stock. 
 (ii) Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Common Stock. Subject to
Section 10(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so and permitted
under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money, pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from the calculation described in clause (d)(i) above. 

(iii) Delivery of Conversion Consideration. The Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the cash or Conversion
Shares due upon conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock on or before the fifth (5th Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion. 

  
 19 

 (e) Conversion Price Adjustments. 

(i) Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be adjusted from time to time if
the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Price will
be adjusted based on the following formula: 
  
 

 
 where: 
  

					
	CP0	 	=	 	the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Close of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock
combination, as applicable;
			
	CP1	 	=	 	the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable;
			
	OS0	 	=	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination;
and
			
	OS1	 	=	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

 If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this
Section 8(e)(i) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Price will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or any Officer acting pursuant to authority conferred by the
Board of Directors, determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not
been declared or announced. 
 (ii) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon
conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in addition
to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan. 

(iii) Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of
Section 8(e)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and
(2) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury). 

  
 20 

 (iv) Notice of Conversion Price Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness
of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8(e)(i), the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such effectiveness, send
notice to the Holders containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (3) the effective time
of such adjustment. 
 (f) Restriction on Conversions. 
  

	 	(i)	 Limitation on Conversion Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of
Designations, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, or is not, in the opinion of counsel to the corporation, required, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon conversion of any share of Convertible
Preferred Stock of any Holder, and no share of Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be convertible, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery, conversion or convertibility would result in such Holder
or a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning in excess of nineteen and nine-tenths percent (19.9%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (the restrictions
set forth in this sentence, the “Ownership Limitation”). For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act. If any Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon the conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is not delivered as a result of the Ownership Limitation, then the Company shall pay all such amounts in cash to
the Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3(d) above. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be void and have no effect to
the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would contravene the Ownership Limitation. The satisfaction, by a Holder of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, of the requirements set forth in Section 8(c)(i)
to convert such Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to be a representation, by such Holder to the Company, that the settlement of such conversion in full and without regard to this Section 8(f)(i) will not contravene
the Ownership Limitation. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Covenant to Seek the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain, at the next meeting of its stockholders held following its Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2020, but in no event later than July 1, 2021, the Requisite Stockholder Approval, including by endorsing its approval in the related proxy
materials. The Company will promptly notify the Holders if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained. 

  
 21 

 SECTION 9. CERTAIN PROVISIONS
RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. 

(a) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Certificate of Designations requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Price), the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment
to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Price where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective
date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period. 
 (b) Reservation of Shares of Common
Stock. The Company will reserve, out of its authorized, unreserved and not outstanding shares of Common Stock, for delivery upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle
the conversion of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, if any. To the extent the Company delivers shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury in settlement of any obligation under this Certificate of
Designations to deliver shares of Common Stock, each reference in this Certificate of Designations to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery. 

(c) Status of Shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock
will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or
adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then
the Company will cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. 

(d) Taxes Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the
issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder, except any tax or duty that is due because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name. 

SECTION 10. CALCULATIONS. 

(a) Responsibility; Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will be
responsible for making all calculations called for under this Certificate of Designations or the Convertible Preferred Stock, including determinations of the Conversion Price, Stated Value and accumulated Regular Dividends on the Convertible
Preferred Stock. The Company will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written
request. 

  
 22 

 (b) Calculations Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the Conversion
Consideration due upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder being converted with the same Conversion Date. For these purposes,
any cash amounts due to such Holder in respect thereof will be rounded to the nearest cent. 
 (c) Fractional Shares. Any calculation
with respect to Dividends on, Redemption of or Conversion of any fractional shares shall be made on a pro rata basis. 

SECTION 11. NOTICES. The Company will send all notices or communications to Holders
pursuant to this Certificate of Designations in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail (with confirmation of receipt from the recipient, in the case of
e-mail), or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service to the Holder’s respective addresses shown on the Register. Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Designations to the contrary,
any defect in the delivery of any such notice or communication will not impair or affect the validity of such notice or communication and the failure to give any such notice or communication to all the Holders will not impair or affect the validity
of such notice or communication to whom such notice is sent. 
 SECTION 12. NO OTHER
RIGHTS. The Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights, preferences or voting powers except as provided in this Certificate of Designations or the Certificate of Incorporation or as required by applicable law.

Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 and available for sales of all of the Registrable Securities at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Buyer shall have sold, either publicly pursuant to the Registration Statement or
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), all the Registrable Securities, or (ii) the date on which the Buyer can sell all of its Registrable Securities under Rule 144 without restriction during any ninety
(90) day period (collectively, the “Registration Period”). When effective, each Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all
applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and 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 light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

  

	 	b.	 Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to
time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, a prospectus, including any amendments or prospectus supplements thereto, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under any Registration
Statement. The Buyer and its counsel shall have five (5) business days to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. If the Buyer has comments on
such prospectus, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide such comments within five (5) business days from the date the Buyer receives the final version of such prospectus. 

 

	 	c.	 Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the
Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 1(a) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities outstanding from time to time, the Company shall
amend the Initial Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten
(10) business days after the necessity therefor arises and the Company’s financial statements as filed with the SEC are current as would be required by such New Registration Statement, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

 3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS. 
 With
respect to any Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations: 

  
 2 

	 	a.	 The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to any Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, subject to Permitted
Delays (as defined below) and Section 3(e) hereof and, during the Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration
Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. Should the Company file
a post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have such filing declared effective by the SEC within thirty (30) consecutive business days following the date of filing, which such
period shall be extended for an additional thirty (30) business days if the Company receives a comment letter from the SEC in connection therewith. If, beyond normal quarterly closed trading windows under the Company’s Insider Trading
Policy, as amended from time to time, there is (i) material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s
best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose or (ii) a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose and which the
Company would be required to disclose under a Registration Statement, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of such Registration Statement or use of the prospectus under such Registration Statement for a period not to
exceed thirty (30) consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(a) for more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period (each, a
“Permitted Delay”). 

  

	 	b.	 The Company shall submit to the Buyer for review and comment any disclosure in any Registration Statement, and
all amendments and supplements thereto, containing information provided by the Buyer for inclusion in such document and any descriptions or disclosure regarding the Buyer, the Purchase Agreement, including the transaction contemplated thereby, or
this Agreement at least five (5) business days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which any of the Buyer reasonably and timely objects. Upon request of the Buyer, the Company shall provide to the Buyer
all disclosure in any Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, at least five (5) business days prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which the Buyer reasonably and timely objects.
If the Buyer has comments on any Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto, the Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment thereon within five (5) business days from the date the Buyer receives the final
version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Buyer, without charge, any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, except if such notice and the contents
thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information. 

  

	 	c.	 The Company shall furnish to the Buyer, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at
least one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including all financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any amendment(s) to a
Registration Statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Buyer may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as a Buyer may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Buyer. The filing by the Company of any Registration Statement and
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC shall be deemed to be delivery to the Buyer under this Section 3(c). 

  
 3 

	 	d.	 The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from
registration and qualification is available, the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Buyer reasonably requests,
(ii) subject to Permitted Delays, prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof
during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary
or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall
promptly notify the Buyer or any transferee permitted by Section 9 who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose. 

 

	 	e.	 As promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the
Buyer in writing (a) when a Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (b) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for post-effective
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and prospectus or for additional information after such Registration Statement has become effective, (c) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable
Securities, for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (e) of the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement, or (f) if the Company has determined that the
Prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As promptly as reasonably practical (taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of premature disclosure of
such event or facts) prepare a prospectus supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and, upon the Buyer’s request, deliver a copy of such prospectus supplement or amendment to the
Buyer. In providing this notice to the Buyer, the Company shall not include any other information about the facts underlying the Company’s determination and shall not in any way communicate any material nonpublic information about the Company
or the Common Stock to the Buyer. The Company shall also promptly notify the Buyer in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Buyer by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments
or supplements to any Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. In no event
shall the delivery of a notice under this Section 3(e), or the resulting unavailability of a Registration Statement, without regard to its duration, for disposition of securities by the Buyer be considered a breach by the Company of its
obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	 	f.	 The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension
of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at
the earliest practical time and to notify the Buyer of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose. 

  
 4 

	 	g.	 The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on
which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the
Registrable Securities if the Principal Market (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) is an automated quotation system. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

  

	 	h.	 The Company shall cooperate with the Buyer to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Buyer may reasonably request and registered in
such names as the Buyer may request. 

  

	 	i.	 If reasonably requested by the Buyer, the Company shall (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement such information as the Buyer believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with
respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment as promptly as practicable once notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement (including by means of any
document incorporated therein by reference). 

  

	 	j.	 The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities in the United States as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

 

	 	k.	 If reasonably requested by the Buyer at any time, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a written confirmation
from the Company’s counsel of whether or not the effectiveness of any Registration Statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not such Registration Statement is
currently effective and available to the Company for sale of all of the Registrable Securities. 

  

	 	l.	 The Company agrees to take all other actions reasonably requested by Buyer to expedite and facilitate
disposition by the Buyer of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement. 

 4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER. 

 

	 	a.	 The Buyer will furnish 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 reasonably requested by the Company in order to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall notify the Buyer in writing of any other
information the Company reasonably requires from the Buyer in connection with any Registration Statement hereunder. The Buyer will as promptly as practicable notify the Company of any material change in that information, other than changes in its
ownership of Common Stock, unless such ownership information is reasonably requested by the Company to amend or supplement any Registration Statement or Prospectus. 

 

	 	b.	 The Buyer agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement hereunder. 

  
 5 

 5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. 

All reasonable expenses of the Company, other than sales or brokerage commissions incurred by the Buyer, including fees and disbursements of one counsel for
the Buyer (not to exceed $25,000), incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company. 
 6. INDEMNIFICATION. 

 

	 	a.	 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the Buyer, each Person, if any, who controls the Buyer, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Buyer and each Person, if any, who controls the Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement (with the prior consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency or body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement, final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the
SEC) or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, or (iii) any material violation by the
Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in
this Section 6(a): (A) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Buyer furnished in writing to the Company by the
Buyer or such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company;
(B) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any other
Indemnified Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such
advice, used it; (C) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Buyer to deliver, or to cause to be delivered, the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was theretofore made available by
the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (D) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the
Buyer pursuant to Section 9. 

  
 6 

	 	b.	 In connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus, the Buyer and any transferee permitted by
Section 9, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed such
Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim
or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only
to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Buyer provided by the Buyer and furnished to the Company by the Buyer expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement (which, for
the avoidance of doubt, shall consist solely of the name of the Buyer, the number of shares to be sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, and the expected plan of distribution) or from the failure of the Buyer to deliver or to cause to be
delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and, subject to Section 6(d), the Buyer will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in
Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further,
however, that the Buyer shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds actually received by the Buyer as a result of the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by
the Buyer pursuant to Section 9. 

  

	 	c.	 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and upon such notice, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however,
that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Persons and Indemnified Parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or 

  
 7 

	 	
proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall,
without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action. 

  

	 	d.	 The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by payments at least as frequently as every
thirty (30) days of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. Any person receiving a payment pursuant to this Section 6 which person is later
determined to not be entitled to such payment shall return such payment (including reimbursement of expenses) as promptly as practicable to the person making it. 

 

	 	e.	 The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right
of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. 

7. CONTRIBUTION. 
 To the extent any indemnification by an
indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities. 

8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT 
 With
a view to making available to the Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyer to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees, at
the Company’s sole expense, to: 
  

	 	a.	 use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144; 

  

	 	b.	 use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required to satisfy the current public information requirements
of Rule 144; 

  

	 	c.	 furnish to the Buyer so long as the Buyer owns Registrable Securities, as promptly as practicable at
Buyer’s request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1)(i) and (ii), and (ii) such other information, if any, as may be reasonably requested to
permit the Buyer to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and 

  
 8 

	 	d.	 take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Buyer to enable the Buyer to sell the Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the
Buyer and otherwise provide reasonable cooperation to the Buyer and the Buyer’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144. 

The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that Buyer shall, whether or
not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or
provisions. 
 9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyers holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with the sale or acquisition of the Company, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise,
without the consent of the Buyer, provided that the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any transaction, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring,
consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company remains the surviving entity immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed an assignment. The Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to any transferee or holder of the
Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that such transferee or holder of the Registrable Securities executes and delivers an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and thereafter
such transferee or holder shall be deemed a “Buyer” and a party hereunder. 
 9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof 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 holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. 
 10.
ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION STATEMENTS. 
 During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the last day of the Registration Period, if at any
time there is not an effective Registration Statement available for the resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall not file a registration statement or an offering statement under the Securities Act relating to
securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8, or such supplements or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared
effective by the SEC as of the date hereof, solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available). 
 11.
MISCELLANEOUS.

exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Wilmington, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address
for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that
jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE

 EXHIBIT C 

Form of Voting Agreement 

 Exhibit C 

CO-SALE AND VOTING AGREEMENT 

THIS CO-SALE AND VOTING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of
this [•] day of [•], 2020, by and among Benefitfocus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), BuildGroup LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BuildGroup”), and Mason R. Holland, Jr.
(“Holland” and, together with BuildGroup, the “Stockholders”). 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, BuildGroup desires to purchase Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, and as a condition and inducement to that
transaction, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their agreements and understandings with respect to, among other things, how shares of the Company’s capital stock held by such parties will be voted in connection
with the election for directors to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Voting Provisions Regarding Board of Directors. 

1.1. General. Each Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares (as defined below) beneficially owned by such
Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to carry into effect the intent of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Shares” shall mean and include any securities of the Company the holders of which are entitled to vote for members of the Board, including without limitation, all shares of common stock and preferred stock, by whatever name called,
now owned or subsequently acquired by a Stockholder, however acquired, whether through stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations, similar events or otherwise. 

1.2. Board Composition. Each Stockholder agrees to (A) nominate, or cause to be nominated, and (B) vote, or cause to be voted,
all Shares over which such Stockholder has voting control, in favor of the following persons for election to the Board from time to time and at all times, at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held,
or in connection with any other action (including the execution of written consents of the stockholders) taken for the purpose of electing directors to the Board: 

(a) As long as BuildGroup and its Affiliates own beneficially at least 60% of the Company’s outstanding Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock originally purchased by it (or the common stock issuable upon conversion thereof), (A) two (2) of the authorized directors on the Board of Directors of the corporation if the Board consists of nine (9) directors
or fewer, or (B) three (3) of the authorized directors on the Board of Directors if the Board consists of ten (10) directors, it being agreed that the Board shall initially consist of seven (7) directors and the two
(2) individuals designated by BuildGroup shall initially be A. Lanham Napier (“Napier”) and vacant (any such designee other than Napier to be reasonably acceptable to Holland); and 

(b) As long as Holland and his Affiliates continue to beneficially own a majority of the common stock beneficially owned by
them on the date of this Agreement, Holland or his designee (such designee to be reasonably acceptable to BuildGroup). For the avoidance of doubt, the total number of common stock Holland and his Affiliates beneficially own on the date of this
Agreement is 2,756,586 shares of common stock. 
 1.3. Failure to Nominate a Board Member; Vacancies. In the absence of any nomination
from the persons or groups with the right to nominate a director as specified above, the director previously nominated by them and then serving shall be renominated if still eligible to serve as provided herein. Any vacancy for a director position
to be nominated by the persons or groups set forth above shall be filled by the vote of the Board immediately following delivery by such persons or groups of a notice of nomination. 

 1.4. Removal of Board Members. Any Stockholder having the right to designate a
director pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof shall have the right to request the resignation or, if permitted by the Bylaws of the Company (“Bylaws”), removal of such director so designated in writing, reasonably prior
to any such election, to any other Stockholder party hereto. In such event, each of the Stockholders shall vote all Shares held by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has the power to vote, in whatever manner as shall be necessary, as
permitted by the Bylaws, to cause the removal of such director, whether at any annual or special meeting called at which an election of directors is held, or in connection with any other action (including the execution of written consents) taken for
the purpose of removing such director. In the event of the resignation, death, removal, or disqualification of a director, the Stockholder which had the right to designate such director pursuant to Section 2 shall promptly designate a new
director and, after written notice of the nomination has been given by such Stockholder to each of the parties hereto, each Stockholder will vote all Shares held by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has the power to vote, in whatever
manner as shall be necessary to elect such designee to the Board. 
 1.5. Vote to Increase Authorized Common Stock. Each Stockholder
shall vote or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Stockholder, or over which such Stockholder has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock from time to time to ensure that there will be sufficient shares of common stock available for conversion of all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at any given time. 

1.6. No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. No party, nor any Affiliate of any such party, makes any representation or
warranty as to the fitness or competence of the designee of any party hereunder to serve on the Board and shall have any liability as a result of nominating a person for election as a director for any act or omission by such nominee in his or her
capacity as a director of the Company, nor shall any party have any liability as a result of voting for any such nominee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

1.7. Fiduciary Duties; Director Qualifications. 

(a) Each Stockholder is entering into this Agreement in his or its capacity as the holder of capital stock of the Company. Any other provision
of this Agreement notwithstanding, to the extent a Stockholder or one of its Affiliates serves as an officer or director of the Company, nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of such Stockholder or one of its Affiliates to exercise
ordinary and customary duties as an officer or director of the Company, including, without limitation, the exercise of fiduciary obligations to the Company and its stockholders. 

(b) Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Company’s and each Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement is
subject in all respects to the applicable law (including, without limitation, the directors’ fiduciary duties), the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing requirements or standards of the NASDAQ Stock
Market LLC or the requirements or standards of any other exchange, system or market on which the stock of the Company is listed. The Company’s obligation to nominate the designees of the Stockholders set forth in Section 1.2 is conditioned
upon such designee meeting the director qualifications standards set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, the charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, and any other qualification standards the Board adopts. If a
director designee of a Stockholder fails to meet these qualification standards, the Company must provide a prompt notice thereof and the Stockholder may designate another person to serve as a director that does meet these qualification standards.

 1.8. Stockholder Approval of Transactions. At any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or in connection with
any other action (including the execution of written consent of the stockholders) taken for the purpose of approving the issuance of shares of common stock (the “Issuance”) upon conversion of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in excess of the limitations imposed by NASDAQ Listing Standard Rule 5635 (or any successor rule thereto), each Stockholder shall vote, or cause to be voted all Shares owned by such Stockholder in favor of the Issuance. 

1.9. Board Size. Each Stockholder shall vote, or cause to be voted, at any regular or special meeting of stockholders (or by any
applicable written consent) at which the size of the Board is set, all Shares owned by such Stockholder (or as to which such Stockholder has voting power) to ensure that the size of the Board shall be no more than ten (10) directors (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any director positions designated as remaining vacant pursuant to the provisions set forth herein); provided, however, that such Board size may be subsequently increased or decreased pursuant to an amendment of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 5.6 hereof. 

  
 2 

 2. Covenants. The parties hereto covenant and agree that so long as Holland serves as
a director of the Company pursuant hereto, and to the extent permitted by the rules of the stock exchange on which the common stock of the Company is then listed, Holland shall be appointed as Executive Chair of the Board. So long as Napier serves
as a director of the Company pursuant hereto, (i) to the extent permitted by the rules of the stock exchange on which the common stock of the Company is then listed, Napier shall be appointed as Lead Independent Director of the Board and
(ii) to the extent Napier is not a member of any committee of the Board, Napier shall be entitled to notice of, and to attend, any meeting of any such committee; provided, that for purposes of this clause (ii), Napier agrees to recuse himself
for any portion of any committee meeting for which such committee reasonably determines that he has a conflict of interest. The Executive Chair and Napier, whether in his role as Lead Independent Director or otherwise, shall collectively set the
agenda for any meeting of the Board. 
 3. Right of Co-Sale. 

3.1. Exercise of Right. If a Stockholder proposes to transfer any of its Shares, whether in exchange for cash or other securities,
including in a transaction as a result of which the Company would no longer be a publicly traded entity, or for other or no consideration (a “Transfer”), other than pursuant to an Exempted Transfer as described in
Section 3.3 hereto or in an Exempted Offering as described in Section 3.4 hereto, that Stockholder (the “Transferring Stockholder”) must give the other Stockholder 14
calendar days advance written notice thereof describing the proposed terms of the Transfer in detail. Within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of such Transferring Stockholder’s notice, the other Stockholder may elect to participate in
the Transfer on a pro rata basis with the Transferring Stockholder based on the number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by each, on as-converted basis, on the same terms and conditions
specified in the Transferring Stockholder’s notice. 
 3.2. Effect of Failure to Comply. 

(a) Transfer Void; Equitable Relief. Any transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void
ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the
other parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching party hereto shall be entitled
to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Shares not made in strict
compliance with this Agreement). 
 (b) Violation of Co-Sale Right. If any Stockholder
purports to sell any Shares in contravention of this right of co-sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the other Stockholders may, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity
or hereunder, require the Transferring Stockholder to purchase from the other Stockholder the Shares that he or it would have been entitled to sell had the Prohibited Transfer been effected in compliance with the terms hereof, on the same terms and
subject to the same conditions as would have applied, and the non-compliant Stockholder shall also reimburse the other Stockholder for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith. 

3.3 Exempted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of
Section 3 shall not apply to (a) a transfer to an Affiliate of the transferring Stockholder, (b) a market transaction in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), (c) a pledge that creates a mere security interest in the pledged Shares; (d) in the case of a Stockholder that is a natural person, a transfer made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during his
or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to his or her spouse, child (natural or adopted), or any other direct lineal descendant (or his or her spouse) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any
custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by such Stockholder or any such family members; or (e) any bona fide gift to any charitable
organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (an “Exempted Transfer”); provided that in the case of clause (a), (c) or (d), the Stockholder shall deliver prior written notice to the other
Stockholder and the Shares transferred shall at all times remain subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and such transferee shall, as a 

  
 3 

 
condition to such issuance, deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement as confirmation that such transferee shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a
Stockholder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee); and provided further in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (d) above, that such transfer is made pursuant to a transaction in
which there is no consideration actually paid for such transfer. 
 3.4 Exempted Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 3 shall not apply to the sale of any Shares to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. 

3.5 Legended Certificates. Each certificate representing any of the Shares shall be marked by the Company with a legend reading as
follows: 
 “THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A CO-SALE AND VOTING AGREEMENT (A COPY
OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ISSUER) AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON HOLDING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SAID CO-SALE
AND VOTING AGREEMENT.” 
 4. Remedies. 

4.1. Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees to use its best efforts, within the requirements of applicable law, to ensure that the
rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement. Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Company’s best efforts to cause the nomination of the directors as provided in
this Agreement. 
 4.2. Irrevocable Proxy. Each party to this Agreement hereby constitutes and appoints the President and Treasurer of
the Company, and each of them, with full power of substitution, as the proxies of such party with respect to the matters set forth herein, including without limitation, election of persons as members of the Board in accordance with
Section 1 hereto, and hereby authorizes each of them to represent and to vote, if and only if the party (i) fails to vote or (ii) attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent), in a manner
which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, all of such party’s Shares in favor of the election of persons as members of the Board determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The proxy
granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the agreements and covenants of the Company and the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, as such, is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires in accordance herewith. Each party hereto hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to the Shares and shall not hereafter, unless and until this
Agreement terminates or expires in accordance herewith, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement),
arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of the Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein. 

4.3. Specific Enforcement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that each party hereto will be irreparably damaged and will not have an
adequate remedy at law in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of the Company and the Stockholders
shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specific enforcement of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter
jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Shares not made in strict compliance with this Agreement. If any action shall be brought in equity to enforce any
of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. 

  
 4 

 4.4. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or
otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative. 
 5. Miscellaneous. 

5.1. Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and assigns of the parties. 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. 
 5.2. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law. 

5.3. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any
electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com), or other transmission method and 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. 
 5.4. 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. 
 5.5. Notices. All notices and other communications given
or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business
hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) business day after the
business day of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next business day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their address as set forth on the
signature page hereto, or to such email address, facsimile number or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 5.5. If notice is given to the Company, a copy shall also be sent
to Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton LLP, 4101 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 300, Raleigh, NC 27607, Attn: Donald R. Reynolds. If a notice is given to BuildGroup, a copy shall also be sent to BuildGroup LLC, 3500 Jefferson St., Suite 303, Austin,
Texas 78731, Attn: Kenneth Herz, General Counsel. 
 5.6. Consent Required to Amend, Terminate or Waive. This Agreement may be amended
or modified only by a written instrument executed by the Stockholders and the Company. Any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving party on such party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other parties. 

5.7. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon
any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or
default previously or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or
conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not
alternative. 
 5.8. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision. Such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement. In such event, the parties
shall negotiate, in good faith, a legal, valid, and enforceable substitute provision, which most nearly effects the intent of the parties in entering into this Agreement. 

  
 5 

 5.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding
and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties are expressly canceled. 

5.10. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of Shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to
any of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement with the same force and effect as the
Shares subject to such rights immediately before such event. 
 5.11. Manner of Voting. The voting of Shares pursuant to this
Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 
 5.12. Further
Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further
action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder. 

5.13. Advice of Counsel. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH PARTY HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF. 

5.14. Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability
company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “Person”) shall be deemed an “Affiliate” of another Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person,
including, without limitation, any general partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee or manager of such Person and any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners of or shares the same
