then upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall file, as promptly as practicable thereafter, with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 relating to the offer and sale of an amount of Registrable Securities
requested by the Investor; provided, however, that, unless consented to by the Company, each such request must cover at least 30% of the Registrable Securities then held by the Investor. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing). The Company shall not be required to effect more than one (1) Shelf Registration pursuant to this
Section 2. 
 (b) Continued Effectiveness. Subject to the permitted Suspension Periods set forth in
Section 7(h) hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement (or a replacement Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus
forming a part thereof to be usable by the Investor until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date as of which the Investor is
permitted to sell its Registrable Securities without Registration pursuant to Rule 144 without volume limitations or other restrictions on transfer thereunder (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). 

3. Demand Registration. 
 (a) Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3, at any time following the 30 month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Investor may at any time
and from time to time request that the Company register for sale all or any of its Registrable Securities under the Securities Act in connection with an Underwritten Offering by sending the Company a written request setting forth such request and
specifying the number of Registrable Securities required to be registered and the intended method of disposition (any such registration being referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”); provided that the minimum number of
Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of the Investor in any Demand Registration must be equal to at least (i) 33.3% of the Registrable Securities held by Investor (on an as converted basis) on the date hereof. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Investor’s right to Demand Registration includes, without limitation, the right to require registration of an underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities (an “Underwritten Offering”) or the right to
require the filing of a preliminary and final prospectus supplement to the extent that a Shelf 

  
 4 

 
Registration Statement is then effective. However, the registration of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any continuous offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under
the Securities Act (a “Shelf Offering”) shall be governed by Section 2 hereof. 
 (b) Subject to the
limitations contained in this Section 3, upon the receipt by the Company of a written request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3(a), the Company shall cause a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if the
Company is not then eligible to register the Shares for resale on Form S-3, on another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act) to be filed within sixty (60) days after the date on which the initial request is given (provided,
however, that no filing of a Demand Registration shall be made earlier than the 36 month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Purchase Agreement) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter covering all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in the Demand Registration. The Company shall not be required to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations
pursuant to this Section 3. Any registration initiated as a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3(a) shall not count as a Demand Registration unless and until the Registration Statement with respect to such registration
shall have become effective. 
 (c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within one-hundred
eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration in which the Investor was given Piggyback Registration rights. The Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of a Registration
Statement for a Demand Registration (i) for up to ninety (90) days if the Company, in good faith, determines that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to result in an Adverse Disclosure or (ii) for up to ninety
(90) days, if the Company, in good faith, intends to conduct a primary offering of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of the proposed Demand Registration; provided, that in such event the Investor shall be entitled to withdraw
such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration. 

(d) The Investor may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the
applicable Registration Statement. Upon receipt of notice from the Investor to such effect, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and such registration shall nonetheless be deemed a
Demand Registration hereunder unless the withdrawal is made after a material adverse change to the Company or after notice of a postponement based on an Adverse Disclosure pursuant to Section 3(c). 

(e) In the case of any Demand Registration that relates to an Underwritten Offering, the Investor shall select the investment banking
firms as the Investor and Company may mutually agree to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such Underwritten Offering.

 4. Piggyback Registration. 

(a) Whenever the Company proposes to register any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than (i) a registration
effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable, or (ii) a Registration Statement on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor form thereto or another form not available for
registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company, the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than thirty (30) days
prior to the filing of such Registration Statement) to the Investor of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 4(b) and Section 4(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities
requested to be included by the Investor within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Investor may withdraw all or any part of its Registrable Securities from a Piggyback
Registration at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, no registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 4 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement
or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 3. The Company may postpone for up to one-hundred twenty (120) days the filing or effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration if the Company in good faith determines that
such Piggyback Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or
any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization or similar transaction. 
 (b) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated
as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Investor (if the Investor has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its
opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares
of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the marketability of such offering, the Company shall include in such
registration (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by any stockholder having registration rights with priority over the
registration rights of the Investor; (iii) third, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the Investor; and (iv) fourth, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of
Common Stock (other than the Investors and the Jefferies Investors and the Management Investors), allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree. 
 (c) If any Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, the Company shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter
or underwriters in connection with such offering. 
 (d) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering on
behalf of a holder of Common Stock other than the Investor, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of Common Stock 

  
 6 

 
proposed to be included in such registration, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number
of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the marketability of such offering, the Company shall include in
such registration (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by any stockholder having registration rights with priority over the registration rights of the Investor; (ii) second, the number of shares of
Common Stock requested to be included therein by the Investor; and (iii) third, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock (other than the Investors and the Jefferies Investors and the
Management Investors (as defined in Section 13 of the Agreement)), allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree. 
 5. Block Trades. 
 (a) To the extent that a Shelf Registration Statement is
effective, the Investor shall have the right to request that the Company file a prospectus supplement in connection with an Approved Block Trade, and the filing of such prospectus supplement shall not count as a Demand Registration. The Investor and
the Company shall equally split the fees of the Company’s independent public accountants, and printing expenses associated with the preparation and distribution of the requested prospectuses and prospectus supplements associated with up to two
(2) Approved Block Trades. The Investor shall pay all other costs and expenses associated with an Approved Block Trade, including all of its costs and expenses associated with such sales (including attorney fees of the Investor and applicable
stock transfer taxes and underwriting discounts and commissions) provided, however, that the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of its attorneys in connection with such Approved Block Trades. With respect to any additional Approved Block
Trades, above the initial two (2), the Investor shall be responsible for all associated costs. 
 (b) In connection with an
Approved Block Trade, to the extent required by the relevant underwriters, the Company shall obtain so-called “comfort letters” from the Company’s independent public accountants, and legal opinions of counsel to the Company addressed
to the underwriters and the Commission, in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by such letters and opinions and shall enter into such other agreements, including underwriting agreements in customary form. Delivery of
any such opinions or comfort letters shall be subject to the recipient furnishing such written representations or acknowledgements as are customarily provided by underwriters who receive such comfort letters or opinions. In connection with an
Approved Block Trade, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) one authorized representative of the Investor, (ii) any underwriter participating in an Approved Block Trade and (iii) each of their representatives, all
financial and other information as shall be reasonably requested by them, and provide such persons the opportunity to discuss the business affairs of the Company with its principal executives and independent public accountants who have certified the
audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement in each case as necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the information that the Company
determines, in good faith, to be confidential shall not be disclosed unless such person signs a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company. In addition, the Company shall take such other actions as are reasonably required and
customary in order to expedite or facilitate an Approved Block Trade. 

  
 7 

 6. Lock-up Agreements. 

(a) The Investor agrees that in connection with any underwritten public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, and upon the request
of the managing underwriter in such offering, the Investor shall enter into such customary lock-up agreements as may be requested by the managing underwriter pursuant to which the Investor shall agree to not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to
sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable
for or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership and/or beneficial ownership of such securities,
whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, subject to customary exceptions and provided, that the period of any such
lock-up shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the shortest period that any executive officer or director is subjected to and (y) one-hundred eighty (180) days. The Investor agrees to execute and deliver such other customary agreements as
may be requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, 
 (i)
the provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be included in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 4(a); 

(ii) the provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply to the Investor unless all directors and executive officers of the
Company are subject to the same restrictions; and 
 (iii) in the event that the managing underwriter or the Company permit any
discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any lock-up agreement pertaining to any officer, director or holder of greater than five (5)% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Investor shall be released from any lock-up agreement
entered into pursuant to this Section 6 to the same extent as such officer, director or holder. 
 (c) In the case of a
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 for an Underwritten Offering, the Company agrees, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, to enter into such customary lock-up agreements as may be requested
by the managing underwriter pursuant to which the Company shall agree to not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another,
in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership and/or beneficial ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled

  
 8 

 
by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, subject to customary exceptions (including the ability to sell shares of common stock pursuant to Form S-4 or Form S-8,
pursuant to any employee benefit plan then in effect or pursuant to any other contractual obligations that that the Company may then have), and provided, that the period of any such lock-up shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the shortest period
that the Investor is subjected to and (y) one-hundred eighty (180) days. The Company agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are consistent with
the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, if after the date hereof the Company grants any Person (other than the Investor) any rights to demand or participate in a registration, the Company
agrees that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement to comply with any black-out period required by this Section 6(c) as if it were the Company hereunder. 

7. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Investor requests that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company
shall as soon as practicable:

Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable; 
 (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to
keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of not less than one-hundred eighty (180) days (or for the Shelf Period in the case of a Shelf Registration), or if earlier, until all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of,
and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement; 

(c) at least five (5) business days before filing such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto,

Registrable Securities; 
 (f) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such
other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of Registrable Securities
in such jurisdictions; provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business, subject itself to general taxation or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
do so but for this Section 7(f); 
 (g) notify the Investor, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of the Investor, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
 (h) notify the Investor with at least two (2) days’ prior written notice, at any time when the continued use of a Registration Statement filed would require the Company to make an Adverse
Disclosure and as a result the Company needs to suspend the use of the Registration Statement (each a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, (i) no Suspension Period shall exceed ninety (90) days, (ii) the Company shall
not be permitted to have more than two Suspension Periods in any twelve month period and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Suspension Periods in any twenty-four month period shall not exceed one-hundred eighty (180) days. In the case of a

supplemented as the Investor may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to promptly supplement or make amendments to the Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Registration or by the

(i) make available for inspection by the Investor, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration
Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative of the Investor or such underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company (collectively, the “Records”), and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement; 

  
 10 

 (j) provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity) for all such
Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration; 
 (k) use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed; 
 (l) in
connection with an underwritten offering, take all such customary actions as the managing underwriter of such offering requests in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, making
appropriate officers of the Company available to participate in “road show” and other customary marketing activities (including one-on-one meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities)); 

(m) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to
its stockholders an earnings statement (in a form that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder) no later than ninety (90) days after the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first
day of the Company’s first full fiscal quarter after the effective date of such Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall cover said 12-month period, and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files
complete and accurate information on Forms 10-Q, 10-K and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act; 
 (n) furnish to each underwriter, if any, with (i) a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement (and, if such registration includes an
Underwritten Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), in form and substance as is customarily given in opinions of a registrant’s counsel to underwriters in underwritten public offerings; and (ii) a
“comfort” letter signed by the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given in accountants’ letters to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings; 

(o) without limiting Section 7(f) above, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the Investor to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with its intended method of distribution thereof; 
 (p) notify the Investor promptly of any request by the
Commission for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information (and provide copies of the relevant documents to the Investor); 

(q) advise the Investor, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of (i) the issuance of any stop order
by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued, (ii) any written comments by the Commission or any request by the Commission or any other federal or 

  
 11 

 
state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or for additional information (and provide copies of the relevant documents to the
Investor) and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose; and 
 (r) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration
of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. 
 8. Deemed Underwriter. If any Registration Statement refers to the
Investor by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if in its sole and exclusive judgment the Investor is or might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, the Investor shall have the right
to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by the Investor of such securities is not to be construed as
a recommendation by the Investor of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Investor shall assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or
(ii) in the event that such reference to the Investor by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to the Investor. In no event shall the Investor be
named as an underwriter in any Registration Statement without its prior written consent; provided, however, that if the failure to provide such consent requires, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, the withdrawal of the
Investor’s Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration, then such Registrable Securities shall be so withdrawn, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of such Registration Statement if the Registrable Securities are
the only securities covered by such Registration Statement and such Registration Statement shall nonetheless be deemed a Demand Registration hereunder. 
 9. Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 5, all expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred by the Company in complying with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and in connection
with the registration and disposition of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, underwriting expenses (other than fees, commissions or discounts), expenses of any audits incident to or required by
any such registration, and fees and expenses of complying with securities and “blue sky” laws, printing expenses, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants shall be paid by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating
to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Investor. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Investor up to $50,000 in the aggregate for any registration hereunder,
subject to the limitations set forth herein. 
 10. Indemnification. 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. In connection with any registration effected under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify
the Investor, each underwriter (if any) of the securities so registered, each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders and Affiliates, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of
the Securities Act (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) 

  
 12 

 
against any and all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of any material fact
contained in any Prospectus, offering circular or other document incident to any registration, qualification or compliance (or in any related Registration Statement, notification or the like) or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to any
action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will promptly reimburse each of the Company Indemnified Parties for any reasonable legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, whether or not otherwise resulting in liability; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any
such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Company Indemnified Party or its counsel or
representative and specifically for use in such Prospectus, offering circular or other document (or related Registration Statement, notification or the like). 
 (b) Indemnification by the Investor. In connection with any registration effected under this Agreement, the Investor shall indemnify each underwriter (if any) of the securities so registered, the
Company, each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders and Affiliates, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act (each an “Investor Indemnified
Party”) against any and all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of any material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering
circular or other document incident to any registration, qualification or compliance (or in any related Registration Statement, notification or the like) or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, and the Investor will promptly reimburse each Investor Indemnified Party for any reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, whether or not otherwise resulting in liability; provided, however, that this Section 10(b) shall apply only if (and only to the extent that) such statement or
omission was made in reliance upon written information furnished to such underwriter or the Company by the Investor or its counsel or representative specifically for use in such Prospectus, offering circular or other document (or related
Registration Statement, notification or the like); and, provided further, that the Investor’s liability hereunder with respect to any particular registration shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by the
Investor from the Registrable Securities sold by it in such registration. 
 (c) Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 10, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give
written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have prejudiced the indemnifying party) relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case 

  
 13 

 
any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action that are subject or
potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof; provided, that if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those
available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any
indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party’s prior written consent
(but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall
not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim. 
 (d) Contribution in Lieu of Indemnification. If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of the Investor, to an
amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent
misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person. 
 11. Participation in Underwritten Registrations.
No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which relates to an Underwritten Offering unless such Person (a) agrees to 

  
 14 

 
sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes
and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that in no event shall the Investor be required to make any
representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding the Investor, the Investor’s ownership of its shares of Common Stock to be sold in the offering, the Investor’s intended
method of distribution and other customary representations and warranties of selling stockholders) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as is customary for selling
stockholders in Underwritten Offerings and as otherwise provided in Section 10. In the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3 above, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for the
Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Investor. In addition, in the case of any Underwritten Offering, each of the Holders may withdraw their request to participate in the registration pursuant to Section 3 or 4 after being
advised of such price, underwriting discount and other financial terms and shall not be required to enter into any agreements or documentation that would require otherwise. 
 12. Rule 144. 
 The Company shall make publicly available and available to the Investor
such information as shall be necessary to enable the Investor to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Company shall cause any restrictive legends and/or stop-transfer orders to be removed or lifted
with respect to any Registrable Securities promptly following receipt by the Company from the Investor of a certificate certifying: (i) that the Investor has held such Registrable Securities for the applicable holding period under Rule 144,
(ii) that the Investor has not been an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company during the ninety (90) days preceding and has complied with all of the requirements of Rule 144 in connection with any such sale of shares and
(iii) as to such other matters relating to Rule 144 as the Company or counsel to the Company may request and may be appropriate in accordance with such Rule. 
 13. Miscellaneous.

rights to other persons to participate in Piggyback Registrations so long as such rights are subordinate to the rights of the Jefferies Investors and the Management Investors with respect to such Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall not
(i) grant any registration rights to third parties which are more favorable than or inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder or the registration rights agreements referred to in this Section 13(a), or (ii) enter into any
agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to 

  
 15 

 
its securities that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the Investor in this Agreement or to the Jefferies Investors or the Management Investors in the registration rights
agreements referred to in this Section 13(a). 
 (b) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided that the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10 shall survive any such termination. 

(c) Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (iii) on the date sent
by facsimile (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient or (iv) on the third day after the date mailed, by

a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 13(c)). 
 (d) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement and any related exhibits and schedules thereto, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
those of the Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (e) Successor and Assigns.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Investor may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder
without the prior written approval of the Company other than to controlled Affiliates of the Investor. 
 (f) No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable
right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (g) Headings. The headings in
this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 
 (h) Amendment,
Modification and Waiver. The provisions of this Agreement may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived with the prior written consent of the Company and the Investor. No waiver by any party or parties shall operate or be construed as a
waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no
failure to exercise, or delay in 

  
 16 

 
exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. 
 (i) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated
to the greatest extent possible. 
 (j) Remedies. The Investor, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a
breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and the Company hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(k) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE
INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State
of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in
respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that
such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto
irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Florida state or federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties
and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided herein or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, shall be
valid and sufficient service thereof. 
 (l) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any
controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such

  
 17 

 
other party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (ii) such party has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) such party makes this
waiver voluntarily, and (iv) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 13(l). 

(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy
of this Agreement. 
 (n) Further Assurances. The Investor agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements and take
all such other acts as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter in any Underwritten Offering that are consistent with the terms of this Agreement or which are reasonably necessary to effect any of the registrations

                    , 2012, by and among BKC, Carrols, and Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).

  

	H.	Carrols intends to remodel the Existing Carrols Restaurants as well as the Transferred Restaurants, to close certain Restaurants and also currently plan to grow their
portfolio of Restaurants via new restaurant development and acquisition of Restaurants operated by other franchisees of BKC. 

 ARTICLE I: TERM 
 Unless terminated earlier as provided herein, this Agreement shall expire twenty (20) years from the Effective Date (“Term”) or the date that Carrols has 1,000 Restaurants in its portfolio,
whichever comes first. Except as provided herein, Carrols and BKC have no right to any extension or renewal of this Agreement.

hereof. 
 ARTICLE III: GRANT 
 BKC grants Carrols a non-exclusive right to develop Restaurants within the specific geographic areas set forth on SCHEDULE 3 attached hereto and made a part hereof (“DMAs”). Except to the
extent that the Franchise Pre-Approval rights set forth in Section 4.6 hereof apply, Carrols will submit proposed target areas within the DMAs to BKC for approval and such target areas will not be final until BKC grants written confirmation of
clearance pursuant to the development process described in Article IV below. The Parties will review the target areas as needed throughout the term of this Agreement and may make amendments to the target areas as mutually agreed in writing by the
Parties. No exclusive rights are granted to Carrols in this Agreement. Carrols acknowledges that BKC has Target Reservation Agreements, Multiple Target Reservation Agreements and other forms of agreements with other franchisees for Restaurants at
institutional locations, including, but not limited to, public buildings, schools, hospitals, airports, factories, turnpikes, toll roads, universities, and existing or hereafter established U.S. Military establishments; and rights or approvals
previously granted by BKC to other persons or entities are not affected by this Agreement. 

 ARTICLE IV: DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE 

4.1 Franchise Approval. Carrols must apply for and meet BKC’s current operational, financial, credit, legal and other criteria for developing
and operating a new Restaurant (hereinafter referred to as “Franchise Approval”) applicable to all U.S. franchisees of BKC for Restaurants (“BKC Franchisees”). Carrols understands and accepts that BKC may change its criteria for
Franchise Approval as it applies to all BKC Franchisees during the term of this Agreement. 
 4.2 Site Approval. 

4.2.1 Site Approval Process. After obtaining Franchise Approval, Carrols shall apply for and obtain site approval from BKC for any
site on which Carrols proposes to construct a Restaurant under this Agreement in accordance with BKC’s standard site approval procedures applicable to all BKC Franchisees (hereinafter referred to as “Site Approval”). Site Approval is
a prerequisite to authorization by Carrols to construct a Restaurant at a particular location. Carrols shall commence the Site Approval process by completing and submitting to BKC the then current form of BKC’s “Site Acquisition
Package” with a request for Site Approval. BKC agrees to notify Carrols of BKC’s decision to grant or deny Site Approval within 30 days of receipt of a completed Site Acquisition Package and all other requested information. Carrols
acknowledges that Site Approval can be granted only by means of a written approval duly executed by an authorized representative of BKC and no other approval, whether oral or written, shall be effective or binding on BKC. Carrols shall not, except
at their own risk, enter into any binding real estate contracts for a property for which Carrols is seeking Site Approval until BKC has given Site Approval in writing. 
 4.2.2 Denial of Site Approval. Without limiting any of the foregoing, Carrols acknowledges that BKC may, in its sole discretion, deny Site Approval for any site if, for any reason, the site does
not meet BKC’s criteria for Site Approval. If BKC believes in its sole and absolute discretion that development of a Restaurant at the site proposed by Carrols will have a material and unreasonable impact upon sales to or at an existing
Restaurant operated by BKC or another BKC Franchisee, BKC may, in its sole discretion, deny Site Approval. Carrols agrees to participate and cooperate in any mediation or arbitration conducted pursuant to the BKC Procedures for Resolving Development
Disputes in the event an objection is received by BKC from another BKC Franchisee in connection with the development of a site. 
 4.3
Construction Approval. After obtaining Site Approval, the following requirements relating to site acquisition and construction shall apply. 
 (a) Carrols assumes all responsibility for locating, acquiring and developing the real estate site and for construction of the Restaurant to be developed, at no cost, liability or expense to BKC. If
Carrols acquires a leasehold interest in the site, such lease shall be for a term extending at least through the then current term of the Franchise Agreement applicable to the site. 

(b) Any Restaurant shall be constructed to BKC’s 20/20 Image Standards (or BKC’s then Current Image standard, if higher) in a
manner authorized and approved by BKC and equipped and furnished in accordance with BKC approved plans and specifications (which equipment, furnishings, and approval of plans and specifications shall be consistent with and no more onerous than the
criteria applicable to all BKC Franchisees), subject to local planning and contractual restrictions. 

 (c) BKC shall make available to Carrols, for its information, BKC’s standard plans and
specifications for Restaurants. If Carrols requires architectural and engineering services, then Carrols shall contract for those services independently at its own expense. Carrols shall, as a condition precedent to the development of a Restaurant,
obtain from BKC prior written architectural and design approval of the Carrols plans (hereinafter referred to as “Construction Approval”). Any subsequent material changes to the approved plans must be approved by BKC’s Vice President
of Development. BKC must approve the type of facility, site layout, and equipment configuration for the restaurant to be developed hereunder, including the building design, style, size and interior décor, as well as the type of equipment,
service format and equipment arrangement for any restaurant, which may be changed, amended or modified by BKC from time to time (provided that any such modification shall be consistent with and no more onerous than the criteria applicable to all BKC
Franchisees). The above notwithstanding, Carrols shall be responsible for constructing the Restaurant in accordance with all federal, state and local statutes, laws, regulations and codes. 
 4.4 No Franchise Without Site Approval. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating BKC to grant a Franchise Agreement for any site which has not been approved or in a case in which
the completed building does not conform to plans and specifications as approved by BKC. 
 4.5 No Representation Regarding Site. Carrols
agrees that BKC’s approval of any site or BKC’s approval of any specifications or other matters relating to the development of a Restaurant does not amount to a representation or warranty relating directly or indirectly to the success or
viability of the Restaurant. Carrols shall not rely upon any warranty, representation or advice that may be given by any person by or on behalf of BKC directly or indirectly relating` to the success or viability of a Restaurant, unless such
representation, warranty or advice is given, in writing, by a member of the board of directors of BKC. 
 4.6 Franchise Pre-Approvals.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, BKC hereby grants Carrols franchise pre-approval (“Franchise Pre-Approval”) to expand in the Burger King system by building new Restaurants or acquiring Restaurants from other
franchisees in the DMAs. Franchise Pre-Approval will expire at such time the Carrols portfolio contains 1,000 operating Restaurants. The purpose of Franchise Pre-Approval is to facilitate growth transactions via new restaurant growth
(“NRG”) and in no way diminishes Carrols’ obligations to obtain Site Approval for all new restaurant builds. Carrols’ Franchise Pre-Approval will be suspended for any period of time that (a) Carrols fails to comply with the
development procedures in Article IV of this Agreement; (b) Carrols fails to comply with terms of any Franchise Agreement with BKC; (c) at least 90% of Carrols’ entire portfolio of Restaurants do not meet or exceed the national
average for any of the Operations Metrics (as defined in Section 10.1 of this Agreement) after the Cure Period as set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement; or (d) any lawsuits are pending between Carrols and BKC. Such suspension of
Carrols’ Franchise Pre-Approval shall automatically end on the date that the Carrols comes into compliance with development procedures and the Article IV of this Agreement, comes back into compliance with all Franchise Agreements with BKC, at
least 90% of Carrols’ entire portfolio of Restaurants meets or exceeds the national average for each of the Operations Metrics, and pending lawsuits are settled, dismissed, withdrawn, adjudicated by final judgment or order, or are terminated.

 4.7 New Restaurant Growth (“NRG”). Carrols shall have no obligation to construct any new Restaurants prior to January 1
of the calendar year following the third anniversary of the Effective Date. Commencing on January 1 of the calendar year following the third anniversary of 

 
the Effective Date and for each calendar year thereafter during the term of this Agreement (“NRG Growth Period”), a minimum of 10% of the NRG (“Minimum NRG”) in the Carrols
portfolio in each calendar year must come from new Restaurants (including offsets). In the event that Carrols does not meet the Minimum NRG for any calendar year during the NRG Growth Period, Franchise Pre-Approval for the calendar year immediately
following will be suspended until such time as Carrols opens a number of new Restaurants equal to the difference between the required Minimum NRG and the actual number of new Restaurants opened by Carrols for such prior calendar year. 

ARTICLE V: FRANCHISEE-TO-FRANCHISEE TRANSFERS 
 BKC has the right to approve all sales or assignments of Restaurants from one franchisee to another in a Franchisee-to-Franchisee transfer (“F-to-F”). BKC’s rights in such F-to-F’s are
granted and limited by the language in the assignment provisions of the U.S. BKC franchise agreement as well as, in some cases, state law. If Carrols negotiates to acquire another franchisee’s Restaurants in an F-to-F, such F-to-F requires the
approval of BKC which approval is subject to BKC’s sole but reasonable discretion and will be granted or denied on a deal by deal basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth herein, in the event Carrols
proposes an F-to-F in one of the DMAs where Carrols has Burger King restaurants prior to the F-to-F, then, in such case, Carrols will be deemed to have Franchise Pre-Approval. 
 ARTICLE VI: RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL 
 6.1 Right of First Refusal Notification.
Pursuant to each Franchise Agreement covering Restaurants, BKC has a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to purchase all of the assets constituting the Restaurant or all or substantially all of the voting stock of a franchisee, whether direct
or indirect, on the same terms as contained in a purchase agreement between such franchisee and a third party purchaser (“Purchase Agreement”). BKC hereby grants to Carrols the exclusive right to each such ROFR in the DMAs on SCHEDULE 6.1
according to the provisions of this Article VI. During the Term, BKC shall notify Carrols (the “ROFR Notice”) in writing as soon as possible but in no event more than three business days after each and every time that BKC receives a notice
from a franchisee proposing to sell (“Selling Franchisee”) Restaurants or direct or indirect ownership interests of the franchisee (“Offered Restaurants”) within the DMAs on SCHEDULE 6.1. Additionally, BKC shall provide Carrols
with written notice that a Selling Franchisee has sold or transferred its Restaurant or Restaurants or its direct or indirect ownership interests of the franchisee in its Restaurant or Restaurants in violation of the ROFR as soon as possible but in
no event more than three business days after each and every time that BKC receives a notice of the same. Procedures for assignment and exercise of the ROFR will be mutually agreed to be BKC and Carrols. 

6.2 
 Fee for ROFR Assignment and Franchise
Pre-Approval: Carrols will pay to BKC Three Million Eight Hundred Four Thousand and Five Hundred Forty-Five Dollars ($3,804,545.00 for the rights granted to Carrols in this Article VI and the development rights granted to Carrols in
Section 4.6 of Article IV of this Agreement (collectively the “ROFR/Franchise Pre-Approval Payment”). The ROFR/Franchise Pre-Approval Payment shall be paid to BKC over a five year period in twenty quarterly installment payments of One
Hundred Ninety Thousand and Two Hundred Twenty-Seven Dollars ($190,227.00) (the Quarterly ROFR/Franchise Pre-Approval Payment”). The first of these Quarterly ROFR/Franchise Pre-Approval Payments shall be paid

 
on the date of this Agreement. The Quarterly ROFR/Franchise Pre-Approval Payment must be paid each quarter regardless of whether or not the ROFR has been suspended as described in Article VII
hereof or the Franchise Pre-Approval has been suspended as described in Section 4.6 hereof. 
 ARTICLE VII:
REMODELING 
 Carrols shall remodel its entire portfolio of Restaurants in compliance with the Remodel Plan set forth on SCHEDULE
7 attached hereto and made a part hereof. BKC’s sole remedy for Carrols’ failure to be in compliance with the Remodel Plan will be the suspension of Carrols’ rights under Article VI by written notice given by BKC to Carrols on or
before January 31 of the calendar year following the year on which Carrols does not meet the Remodel Plan. Any such suspension of Article VI rights shall begin in the calendar year following calendar year of such non-compliance, and such
suspension shall automatically terminate as soon as Carrols comes back into compliance with the Remodel Plan. Carrols will be deemed in compliance with the Remodel Plan in each calendar year so long as Carrols completes at least 90% of the Remodel
Plan for such calendar year. In any calendar year that Carrols completes 90% but less than 100% of the Remodel Plan for that calendar year, Carrols must complete the shortfall of remodels plus 90% of the Remodel Plan for the next calendar year in
order to remain in compliance with the Remodel Plan. In any calendar year that Carrols’ rights under Article VI have been suspended under this Article VII, Carrols will be deemed to be back in compliance with the Remodel Plan and all rights
under Article VI shall automatically be restored as soon as Carrols completes 100% of the remodels that were required for the calendar year resulting in the suspension of rights under Article VI (assuming that all remodels completed in such
subsequent year shall first apply to remedying the prior year’s shortfall). Anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise notwithstanding, for any remodel required under the Remodel Plan that requires the consent of a master landlord
or other third party, if the consent of such master landlord or third party is not obtained Carrols shall not be obligated to undertake such remodel and shall not be deemed in default of this Agreement or the Remodel Plan for not completing such
remodel and such site shall be excluded from the calculation to determine whether Carrols has completed the required remodels as provided in this Article VIII. 
 ARTICLE VIII: CLOSURES/EXTENSIONS 
 Carrols and BKC agree to close certain
Transferred Restaurants and extend the terms of certain Existing Carrols Restaurants as described in SCHEDULE 8 attached hereto and made a part hereof. 
 ARTICLE IX: SHOWS OF SUPPORT/HIYW FOUNDATION 
 9.1 Shows of Support. From
time to time, BKC polls its franchisees to gauge the level of national support for certain product, price, promotion or marketing initiatives via a “Show of Support” (“SOS”). Each of Carrols’ Restaurants has one vote in each
SOS. As long as (a) BKC has at least one seat on the Board of Directors of Carrols, and (b) BKC reviews the content of such SOS with the CEO of Carrols and allows the CEO to provide comments and input to the SOS prior to the distribution
of the SOS to the rest of the Burger King system, Carrols will vote all its Restaurants as a “Yes” vote on any SOS conducted during the Term of this Agreement. The terms and content of any SOS shall remain in the sole discretion of BKC.

 9.2 HAVE IT YOUR WAY® Foundation. Carrols will continue to require the Transferred Restaurants to
participate in the fundraising and charitable efforts of the HAVE IT YOUR WAY® Foundation (the “Foundation”) during the thirty-six (36) months following the execution of this Agreement (the “Three Year Period”) as
follows: (a) Carrols will keep the Foundation’s cash collection boxes (“Collection Boxes”) in the Transferred Restaurants for the purpose of collecting customer contributions to the Foundation and for no other charitable
entities. If any Collection Boxes are broken or damaged Carrols will replace them as soon as possible and may pay for such replacement Collection Boxes by deducting such cost from cash collections if such a deduction is allowed by the applicable
state law; (b) Carrols will provide one $1,000 scholarship through the BK Scholars Program for each of the 278 Transferred Restaurants and will do so even if the number of Transferred Restaurants operated by Carrols decreases during the Three
Year Period due to restaurant closures. Scholarship monies are normally collected in one year and then, due to school year calendars, funded in the following calendar year (the “Grant Year”). Therefore, money collected in the Collection
Boxes in calendar 2011 will be used to fund scholarships in 2012 and money collected in calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014 will be used to fund scholarships in the Grant Years 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively and (c) Carrols require the
Transferred Restaurants to continue to participate in all Fall Fundraisers conducted by the Foundation as long as the contributions in the Collection Boxes equal the amount of scholarships committed to by Carrols in (b) above. Under no
circumstances will Carrols be required to participate, although they may do so voluntarily, in any other in-restaurant fundraisers above and beyond that which is referenced in (a) and (b) above. Failure to comply with the terms of this
section 9 will be an event of default under the franchise agreement for the Transferred Restaurant deemed to not be in compliance. 
 ARTICLE X: OPERATIONS METRICS 
 10.1 Performance Expectations. In
consideration for the rights granted to Carrols by BKC herein, Carrols agrees to operate its Restaurants at or above the U.S. Burger King system’s national average (measured on a quarterly basis) for the following operational metrics:
(i) Speed of Service; (ii) Operational BKC Visits (OER or its current equivalent); (iii) Food Safety Scores; and (iv) Guest Trac (or the then current guest recovery program) (the “Operations Metrics”). 

10.2 Grace Period. With regard to the Transferred Restaurants, Carrols will have a six-month grace period commencing on the first day of the first
full month following the Effective Date within which to meet the Operations Metrics, with the exception of Food Safety Scores, which must be met on a quarterly basis by the end of the first full completed quarter after the Effective Date.

 10.3 Bottom Performers. From and after the grace periods set forth in Section 10.2 above, if more than 10% of Carrols’
entire portfolio of Restaurants are rated below the national average for any of the individual Operations Metrics for more than two (2) consecutive quarters, BKC and Carrols shall meet and develop a cure period for and a cure plan (“Cure
Plan”) that details how Carrols will address the operational issues and by what date bring Carrols’ performance up to and exceed the national average (“Cure Period”). If at least 90% of Carrols’ entire portfolio of
Restaurants do not meet or exceed the national average for any of the Operations Metrics after the Cure Period, Franchise Pre-Approval for F-to-F Transfers or NRG shall be suspended until such time as at least 90% of Carrols’ entire portfolio
of Restaurants meets or exceeds the national average for each of the Operations Metrics. 

 ARTICLE XI: INDEMNIFICATION 

11.1 Indemnification by Carrols. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, Carrols is responsible for all losses, damages
and/or contractual liabilities to third parties arising out of or relating to any of the obligations, undertakings, promises and representations of Carrols under this Agreement, and for all claims or demands for damages to property or for injury,
illness or death of persons directly or indirectly resulting therefrom. Carrols agrees, to the fullest extent provided by law, to defend, indemnify and save BKC and BKC’s officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys, accountants,
subsidiaries, affiliates and parent company harmless of, from and with respect to any such claims, demands, losses, obligations, costs, expenses, liabilities, debts or damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees).

 11.2 Indemnification by BKC. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, BKC is responsible for all losses,
damages and/or contractual liabilities to third parties arising out of or relating to any of the obligations, undertakings, promises and representations of BKC under this Agreement, and for all claims or demands for damages to property or for
injury, illness or death of persons directly or indirectly resulting therefrom. BKC agrees, to the fullest extent provided by law, to defend, indemnify and save Carrols and its respective officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys,

 11.3 Indemnification Procedures. Any Party seeking indemnification from the other Party under this Agreement shall give notice
of any such claims, and the Party from whom indemnification is sought shall be given the opportunity to assume the defense of the matter. If the Party from whom indemnification is sought fails to assume the defense and is ultimately found to have
had the obligation to do so, the Party seeking indemnification may defend the action in the manner it deems appropriate, and upon being found to have had the obligation to do so, the Party from whom indemnification was sought shall pay to the
indemnified Party all costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the indemnified Party in effecting such defense. The rights to indemnity under this Agreement shall arise and be valid notwithstanding that joint or concurrent liability
may be imposed by statute, ordinance, regulation or other law. 
 ARTICLE XII: SEVERABILITY 

If any of the provisions of this Agreement may be construed in more than one way, one of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise void,
voidable or unenforceable, such provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid and enforceable. This Agreement shall be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly against any Party. If any court or other government authority
determines that any provision is not enforceable as written, the Parties agree that the provision shall be amended so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of the jurisdiction in which
enforcement is sought and affords the Parties the same basic rights and obligations and has the same economic effect. If any provision is held invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such findings shall not invalidate the remainder of the agreement.

the period of the delay and the period for the performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay; provided, however, the Party so delayed shall exercise its best efforts to remedy any such cause of delay
or cause preventing performance.
