 2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each applicable Buyer, severally and
not jointly, represents and warrants with respect to only itself that, as of the date hereof and as of each applicable Closing Date: 
 (a)
Organization and Qualification. Such Buyer is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authorization to own its properties and to
carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Such Buyer is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of
the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse
Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” means any effect, change, event or occurrence that would prevent or materially delay, interfere with, hinder or impair (i) the consummation by such Buyer of any
of the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis or (ii) the material compliance by such Buyer with its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 3(b)). 

(b) Consents. Other than any filing required to be made pursuant to Sections 13 and/or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), such Buyer is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory
agency or any other Person (as defined below) in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents,
authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which such Buyer is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, or shall timely be made thereafter, and such Buyer is
unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent such Buyer from obtaining or effecting any of the consent, registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence.

purchase of the applicable Securities and pay to the Company the applicable Purchase Price for such Securities, as contemplated by Section 1(c). 

(d) No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Buyer is (i) acquiring the Preferred Shares, the Series A Warrants, the Notes, if any, and
the Series B Warrants, if any, and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants (other than pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in the Warrants)) will acquire the Warrant Shares, in each case, for its own account and not with a view towards, or
for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold
any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant 

  
 - 6 - 

 
to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act. Such Buyer is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Buyer does not presently have any

Act). 
 (f) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties,
agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities. 

(g) Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with or had access to all materials relating to the business,
finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company.
Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and
warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

 (l)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a
violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities
laws and rules and regulations) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such violations, conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a

Warranties. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set

furnished to such Buyer (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and that except for the representations and warranties made by the Company in
Section 3 and in any certificate or other Transaction Document delivered by the Company in connection with this Agreement, such Buyer will have no claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective representatives,
with respect thereto.

the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, except as would not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of
property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in
this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on or affecting (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) on the Company’s ability to consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection

hereof and as of each Closing Date that were less than 1% of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, that, with respect to clause (i), none of the following shall
be deemed either alone or in combination to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Material Adverse Effect: (A) changes in the patent assertion industry in which the Company or
its Subsidiaries operate; (B) changes in the general economic or business conditions within the U.S. or other jurisdictions; (C) general changes in the economy or securities, credit, financial or other capital markets of the U.S. or any

catastrophes or acts of god or weather conditions, (E) political conditions, including acts of terrorism, war, sabotage, national or international calamity, military action or any other similar event or any change, escalation or worsening

the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that a material adverse effect described in any of the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) may be taken into account to the extent the Company and its Subsidiaries are disproportionately affected
thereby relative to other similarly-sized companies in the patent assertion industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate.

Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of 

  
 - 30 - 

 
Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the
Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Buyer who has subscribed for any
Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts,
subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of
the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Buyers a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the tenth (10th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice. 

(3) The Company shall have ten (10) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to (i) offer, issue,
sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement
Agreement”) but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring
Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) (x) the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent
Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto or (z) confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned and that the Buyers are not be in
possession of material, nonpublic information. 
 (4) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the
Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified
in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of
which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(3) above prior to such reduction) and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue,
sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(o)(iii)(1) above. 

  
 - 31 - 

 (5) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than
all of the Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iii)(3)
above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Buyers of a
purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyers and their respective counsel. 

(6) Intentionally omitted. 

(7) The Company and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, the Buyers shall be entitled to the
same registration rights provided to other investors in such Subsequent Placement. 
 (8) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyers, (i) the Company may determine to abandon a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement, including the Subsequent Placement, and (ii) the Company
shall either confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that the
Buyers will not be in possession of material, nonpublic information, by the twentieth (20th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the twentieth (20th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of
such transaction has been received by the Buyers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, nonpublic information with respect to the Company. Should the Company
again decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o)(iii). The
Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to the Buyers in any 30 day period. 
 (iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the restrictions contained in subsection (iii) of this Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. 

(p) Intentionally Omitted. 

(q) Stockholder Approval. By no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall file with the
SEC a definitive proxy statement, in the form which has been previously reviewed by the Buyers and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, at the expense of the Company, for a special meeting of holders of Common Stock (the
“Stockholder Meeting”), soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions providing for: (i) the Company’s issuance of all of the

  
 - 32 - 

 
Securities as described in the Transaction Documents in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market without giving effect to any limitation on conversions
of the Preferred Shares or exercises of the Warrants, including the Exchange Cap (as defined in each of the Certificate of Designations and the Series A Warrants) and (ii) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number
of the authorized shares of Common Stock by not less than 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction relating to the Common Stock occurring after
the date hereof) (such affirmative approvals being referred to herein collectively as the “Stockholder Approval”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions
in connection with the Stockholder Approval, including, without limitation, by (x) causing the Board to unanimously recommend to the stockholders of the Company that they approve such resolutions, (y) using reasonable best efforts to cause
its officers and directors who hold shares of Common Stock to be present at the Stockholder Meeting for quorum purposes (including by proxy) and (z) using reasonable best efforts to cause such officers and directors to vote their respective
shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Board’s recommendation. The Stockholder Meeting shall be promptly called and held not later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Initial Closing Date (the “Stockholder Meeting
Deadline”). The Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. 

(r) FAST Compliance. While any Securities are outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. 
 (s) Notice of Disqualification
Events. The Company shall notify the Buyers in writing, prior to any Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a
Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person. 
 (t) Collateral Agent. 

(i) Each Buyer hereby (a) appoints Starboard Value Intermediate Fund LP as the collateral agent hereunder and under the Security
Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (b) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) to take such action on such Buyer’s behalf in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or pursuant to any Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees and agents
shall have any liability to any Buyer for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or the Security Documents except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, obligations,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from
or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents. 

  
 - 33 - 

 (ii) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements,
certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. 
 (iii) The Collateral
Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the Notes and the Security Documents at any time by giving at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Company and each holder of Notes.
Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment as provided below. Upon any such notice of resignation, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes shall appoint a
successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the
retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Agreement. After any Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 4(t) shall inure
to its benefit. If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed within said ten (10) Business Day period, the retiring Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve until such time, if any, as
the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. 
 (iv) The
Company hereby covenants and agrees to take all actions as promptly as practicable reasonably requested by either the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), from time to time
pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(t), to secure a successor Collateral Agent satisfactory to such requesting part(y)(ies), in their sole discretion, including, without limitation, by paying all fees of such successor Collateral Agent, by
having the Company agree to indemnify any successor Collateral Agent and by each of the Company executing a collateral agency agreement or similar agreement and/or any amendment to the Security Documents reasonably requested or required by the
successor Collateral Agent. 
 (u) Escrow Account. 

(i) General. The Company shall establish and maintain an interest-bearing deposit account for the Buyers (the “Escrow
Account”) at Citibank, N.A. (or such other bank as mutually agreed to in writing by the Company and the Designee, the “Escrow Agent”), in accordance with that certain escrow agreement by and among the Designee, the Company
and the Escrow Agent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Company hereby represents that it has no, and hereby covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof it shall not have any,
legal, equitable or contractual rights to any portion of the Escrowed Amount (as defined below) other than those contractual rights specifically set forth in this Section 4(u) and in the Escrow Agreement. 

  
 - 34 - 

 (ii) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4(u), the following definitions
shall apply: 
 (1) “Control Account Release Amount” means, with respect to any given Escrow Account Release Event, such
amount of cash as specified in the applicable clause of the definition of “Escrow Account Release Event”. 
 (2) “Escrow
Account Release Event” means, as applicable: 
 (a) with respect to any Escrowed Amount then remaining in the Escrow Account, the
consummation of an Approved Investment; 
 (b) with respect to any Escrowed Amount designated to be converted in such Buyer’s
Conversion Notice (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Company’s receipt of both (A) such Conversion Notice hereunder executed by such Buyer in which all, or any part, of the Principal to be converted includes any Escrowed
Amount and (B) written confirmation by such Buyer that the Conversion Shares issued pursuant to such Conversion Notice have been properly delivered in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Certificate of Designations (in each case, as
adjusted, if applicable, to reflect the withdrawal of any Conversion Notice, in whole or in part, by such Holder, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations); and 

(c) with respect to any cash amount elected by such Buyer, the Company’s receipt of a written notice by the Holder electing to effect a
voluntary release of cash with respect to any Escrowed Amount to the Company. 
 (3) “Escrowed Amount” means, as of any
given date, the cash amounts held in the Escrow Account. 
 (iii) Escrow Account Release. Upon the occurrence of any Escrow Account
Release Event, each Buyer shall, as soon as commercially practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Trading Days thereafter, deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice (with a copy to the Company) to release the applicable Escrow Account
Release Amount from the Escrow Account and instruct the Escrow Agent to deposit such Escrow Account Release Amount into the bank account of the Company specified in the Escrow Agreement (each, an “Escrow Account
Release”). 
 (iv) Cash Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any redemption or other cash
payment obligation of the Company that has then become due under the Certificate of Designations (each, a “Cash Payment Obligation”) due to such Buyer, may be satisfied from the cash deposited in the Escrow
Account, to the extent there is cash available in the Escrow Account. The Company shall pay to such Buyer any Cash Payment Obligation that cannot be satisfied from the cash deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the applicable Transaction Document giving rise to such Cash Payment Obligation. The Company hereby irrevocably consents to such Buyers’ delivery of an 

  
 - 35 - 

 
instruction letter to the Escrow Agent to release to such Buyer cash deposited in the Escrow Account, in each case, in an amount not to exceed any Cash Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of
doubt, in no event shall the available Escrowed Amount in the Escrow Account limit the Company’s Cash Payment Obligation to any Buyer.  

(v) Breach of Escrow Agreement. If the Escrow Agent breaches any covenant or other term or condition of such the Escrow Agreement or
otherwise fails to promptly comply with the instructions of a Buyer in connection with the cash deposited by such Buyer in the Escrow Account, such Buyer may, at its option, withdraw such cash from the Escrow Account and hold such cash until such
time as (x) the Company and such Buyer have agreed upon a replacement of the Escrow Agent and (y) an escrow agreement similar in form and substance to the Escrow Agreement that is acceptable to such Buyer shall have been duly executed and
delivered by the Company, the Designee and the replacement of the Escrow Agent and a new escrow account shall have been opened. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives any of the cash
deposited in an Escrow Account in breach of any Escrow Agreement (or receives notice from any Buyer that an amount was wired to the Company from the Escrow Account without the proper authorization of any Buyer), the Company shall promptly cause such
amounts to be returned to the Escrow Account. 
 (vi) Transfers. In the event a Buyer transfers all or any portion of its Preferred
Shares, upon such Buyer’s request, the Company shall be required to cooperate with such Buyer and such transferee of such Preferred Shares to set up an escrow account for the benefit of such transferee substantially similar to the form and
substance of the Escrow Account and transfer the portion of the Escrow Amount deposited in the Escrow Account equal to the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of the Preferred Shares being transferred. In the event a Buyer
does not elect to request an additional escrow account, such transferee of such Preferred Shares will have the right of the portion of the Escrowed Amount equal to the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being transferred. The provisions of this
Section 4(u) shall apply to such transferee and the Initial Purchase Price so transferred, as if such transferee was a “Buyer” hereunder and had purchased the Preferred Shares being transferred pursuant to this Agreement on the
Initial Closing Date and such new escrow account shall function with respect to such transferee as the Escrow Account functions with respect to the Buyers hereunder. The provisions of this Section 4(u)(vi) shall apply to successive transfers of
the Preferred Shares. 
 (v) No Conflict. The Company shall not, and shall cause the Guarantors not to, amend the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Bylaws or any similar organizational documents of any Guarantor or amend or enter into any agreement or take any other action that could reasonably be expected to cause the performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
or any Guarantor (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Warrants and reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares as contemplated by such
Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the form of Notes and form of Series B Warrants attached hereto even if no Notes or Series B Warrants have been issued as of the applicable date of determination) to (i) result in a
violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any memorandum of association, certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, any certificate of designations or other constituent documents of the Company or any of the
Guarantors or any amendment thereto, any capital stock of the Company or any of the Guarantors or the articles of association or bylaws 

  
 - 36 - 

 
of the Company or any of the Guarantors or any amendment thereto or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is, or shall become, a party, or
(iii) to cause the Company and/or the Guarantors to be in breach of Section 10(a) or Section 10(d) of the form of Notes immediately prior to the issuance of any Notes pursuant to the terms hereof. In the event the Company does not
receive the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, and the Company is otherwise in material compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 4(q) hereto, this Section 4(v) shall terminate and be of no further effect.

 (w) Closing Documents. On or prior to seven (7) calendar days after each Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause
to be delivered, to each Buyer and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities and any other documents required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or
otherwise. 
 (x) Legends. Until such time as the resale of the Securities have been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by
the Registration Rights Agreement, the certificates or other instruments or book-entry accounts representing the Preferred Shares, the Notes and the Warrants and the stock certificates or any global certificates representing the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates): 

[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE
[CONVERTIBLE] [EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SELECTED
BY THE HOLDER, IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD OR SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE
SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES. 

  
 - 37 - 

 The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the holder of such Securities by
electronic delivery at (x) if eligible and requested by the holder, the applicable balance account at DTC, and (y) on the books of the Company or its transfer agent, if in the case of each of (x) and (y) (i) such
Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act, or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, or (iii) the Securities are, or can be, sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or
Rule 144A. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance. 
 (y)
Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the Securities. However, in the case of conversion of the Preferred Shares or the exercise of the Warrants, the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares or Securities to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of
the Preferred Shares or Warrants immediately prior to such conversion, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to
the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. 
 (z) Investment Company Status. For so long any Buyer holds any
Securities (the “Applicable Period”), including giving effect to the exception set forth in Rule 3a-2 under the 1940 Act, the Company shall operate at all times in a manner so as not to be
deemed an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” in each
case as such terms are defined in the 1940 Act. To the extent the Company relies upon the exception set forth in Rule 3a-2 under the 1940 Act during the Applicable Period, the Company shall, prior to the
expiration of the one-year reliance period specified therein, use its best efforts to cause the Company to either fall outside the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(a)(1)
under the 1940 Act, or qualify for another applicable exception therefrom under the 1940 Act. 
 (aa) No Integrated Offering. None of
the Company, its Subsidiaries, their Affiliates or any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in Section 3(i) that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause
the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions. 

5. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. 

(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may
designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Preferred Shares, the Notes and the Warrants in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Preferred Shares, the Notes and the
Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares, the principal amount of Notes held by such Person, the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the
Preferred Shares and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal
representatives. 

  
 - 38 - 

 (b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to
its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (the “Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered
in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon exercise of the Warrants in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to
the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give
effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more
certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves the
Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be,
without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order
and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date by delivering a written notice to that effect to each other party to this Agreement
and without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall remain obligated to reimburse each Buyer or its designee(s), as
applicable, for the expenses described in Section 4(g) above. None of the parties may rely, as a basis for terminating this Agreement or not consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, on the failure of any condition set forth in
Section 6 or 7, as the case may be, to be satisfied, if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. 

  
 - 47 - 

 9. MISCELLANEOUS. 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, 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. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory
thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature. 
 (c) Headings. The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of
such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof
and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would
otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). 

  
 - 48 - 

 (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the
instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any
representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. 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 at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issued or issuable under the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants (without regard to any
restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Preferred Shares contained therein) and shall include Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd. so long as Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd. or any
of its Affiliates holds any Securities (the “Required Holders”); provided that the provisions of Section 4(t) cannot be amended without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon each Buyer and holder of Securities and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Buyers or
holders of Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal
fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of the Preferred Shares, holders of the Notes or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set
forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise. 

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement

 (g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Preferred Shares, the Notes or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Required Holders. The Designee and any Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned
rights; provided, however, that such assignee delivers to the Company a duly executed Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (each, a “Joinder Agreement”); provided, further,
that the covenants set forth in Section 4(v) shall only apply for the benefit of the Buyers that are Affiliates of the original Designee named herein. 

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(k). 

(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers
contained in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive each Closing and the delivery and exercise or conversion of Securities, as applicable. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. 
 (j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause
to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish
the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (k) Indemnification. In consideration
of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect,
indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), as incurred, from and against any and all actions, causes of
action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or 

  
 - 51 - 

 
obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim
brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the
Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the
Securities, or (iii) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification set forth in this
Section 9(k) is intended to apply, and shall apply, to direct claims asserted by any Buyer against the Company as well as any third party claims asserted by an Indemnitee (other than a Buyer) against the Company. To the extent that the
foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 7 of the Registration Rights Agreement. 

(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. 
 (m) Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of
the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have
under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this
Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may
prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond
or other security. 
 (n) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided,
then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights. 

(o) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the
other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,

  
 - 52 - 

 
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other
Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 

(p) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several
and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind
of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the
Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges and each Buyer confirms that it has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising

2. Registration. 
 (a)
Initial Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable Securities. In the
event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required
Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(g). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined
as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(h). The Initial Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders or if
not permitted under SEC regulations or not advisable under SEC rules or guidance) the “Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (it
being understood that the Company may include in such sections any such additional information not otherwise contained therein that is required to be included in such sections under SEC regulations). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second
(2nd) Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales
pursuant to the Initial Registration Statement. 
 (b) Subsequent Mandatory Registrations. In the event after the Initial Filing Date

In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use
such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(g). Each Subsequent Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall
register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Subsequent Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Subsequent Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 2(h). Each Subsequent Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders or if not permitted under SEC regulations or not advisable under SEC rules or guidance) the
“Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (it being understood that the Company may include in such sections any such additional
information not otherwise contained therein that is required to be included in such sections under SEC regulations). 

  
 8 

 
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have each Subsequent Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable
Subsequent Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second (2nd) Business Day following each Subsequent Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule
424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Subsequent Registration Statement. 

(c) Additional Mandatory Registrations. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the
applicable Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an
Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the applicable Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file, by no later than
the applicable Additional Filing Deadline, Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional
Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration
on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(g). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the applicable Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(h). Each
Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders or if not permitted under SEC regulations or not advisable under SEC rules or guidance) the “Plan of Distribution” and
“Selling Shareholders” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (it being understood that the Company may include in such sections any such additional information not otherwise contained therein that is
required to be included in such sections under SEC regulations). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the
applicable Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second (2nd) Business Day following each Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in
accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Additional Registration Statement. 

(d) Demand Registration. Upon written notice to the Company delivered at any time and from time to time beginning on the one (1)-year
anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (each such notice, a “Demand Notice” and each date the Company receives a Demand Notice, a “Demand Date”), the Designee may require the Company to register the applicable
Demand Registrable Securities for resale pursuant to a Demand Registration Statement. The Company shall then prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the applicable Demand Filing Deadline, file with the SEC a Demand
Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the applicable Demand Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a
registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required 

  
 9 

 
Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(g). Each Demand Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of Notes, Series B Warrants and
Preferred Shares set forth in the applicable Demand Notice. Each Demand Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders or if not permitted under SEC regulations or not advisable under SEC rules or
guidance) the “Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (it being understood that the Company may include in such sections any such
additional information not otherwise contained therein that is required to be included in such sections under SEC regulations). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the applicable Demand Registration Statement declared effective
by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Demand Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second (2nd) Business Day following the applicable
Demand Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement. 

(e) Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any
increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number or amount of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement
covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee
shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to
any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number or amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are
covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. 

(f) Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review
and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel
shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 (g) Ineligibility for
Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, to the extent of such availability, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC. 

  
 10 

 (h) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of securities
available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b), Section 2(c) or Section 2(d) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be covered by
such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(e), the Company shall amend or supplement the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on
the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as
soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises. 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. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of securities available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any
time the number of securities available for resale under such Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount, as applicable. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on
the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations or upon exercise of the Warrants and such calculation shall assume (i) that the Preferred Shares are then convertible in full into shares of Common Stock at
the then prevailing Conversion Rate, (ii) the initial Conversion Amounts of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding through the scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and (iii) no redemptions of the
Preferred Shares or the Notes occur prior to the scheduled Maturity Date; provided, that actual redemptions of the Warrants, the Preferred Shares or the Notes shall reduce the calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence by the amount of the
Warrants, Preferred Shares and/or Notes redeemed on an as-converted or an as-exercised basis. 

(i) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) (A) after the Initial
Effectiveness Deadline, the Initial Registration Statement when declared effective fails to register the Initial Required Registration Amount of Initial Registrable Securities, (B) after the Subsequent Effectiveness Deadline, any Subsequent
Registration Statement when declared effective fails to register the applicable Subsequent Required Registration Amount of Subsequent Registrable Securities or (C) after the Demand Effectiveness Deadline, any Demand Registration Statement when
declared effective fails to register the applicable Demand Required Registration Amount of Demand Registrable Securities (each, a “Registration Failure”), (ii) a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable
Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not
declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an “Effectiveness Failure”), (iii) on any day after the applicable Effective Date, sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included
on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(q)) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or
any other limitation imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a failure to register a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of 

  
 11 

 
the Common Stock on an Eligible Market) (a “Maintenance Failure”) or (iv) at any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the last
completed Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Registrable Securities, if a Registration Statement is not available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule
144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if the Company shall (x) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public
information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) if the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a
“Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall be the sole monetary
remedy but shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional obligation of the Company to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall pay to each
holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the sum of (i) the aggregate Redemption Amount of such Investor’s Notes outstanding as of the applicable Registration
Delay Payment Date (as defined below), (ii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of such Investor’s Preferred Shares outstanding as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date, (iii) the product of (x) the Weighted Average Price of
the Common Stock on the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date and (y) the number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable to such Investor pursuant to such Investor’s Warrants as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date without
giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth in the Warrants and (iv) the product of (x) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date and (y) the number of Conversion Shares
issued pursuant to such Investor’s Preferred Shares as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date, on each of the following dates (each such date, a “Registration Delay Payment Date”): (i) on the three-month anniversary
after the date of a Registration Failure and every three-month anniversary thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than three months) until such Registration Failure is cured, (ii) on the three-month anniversary after the date of a
Filing Failure and every three-month anniversary thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than three months) until such Filing Failure is cured; (iii) on the three-month anniversary after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every
three-month anniversary thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than three months) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (iv) on the three-month anniversary after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and every three-month
anniversary thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than three months) until such Maintenance Failure is cured and (v) on the three-month anniversary after the date of a Public Information Failure and every three-month anniversary
thereafter (prorated for periods totaling less than three months) until such Public Information Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(i) are referred to herein as “Registration
Delay Payments.” Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the
event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments payable by the Company to an Investor pursuant to this Section 2(i) exceed (i) in any three-month
period, two percent (2.0%) of the sum of (x) the 

  
 12 

 
Conversion Amount, (y) the Redemption Amount and (z) the product of (1) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date and
(2) the number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable to such Investor pursuant to such Investor’s Warrants as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth in the Warrants,
in each case, outstanding as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date, of, or, corresponding to, such Investor’s Registrable Securities included, or required to be included, in the applicable Registration Statement and (ii) in
total in any twelve-month period, eight percent (8.0%) of the sum of the (x) the Conversion Amount, (y) the Redemption Amount and (z) the product of (1) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the applicable
Registration Delay Payment Date and (2) the number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable to such Investor pursuant to such Investor’s Warrants as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date without giving effect to any limitation on
exercise set forth in the Warrants, in each case, outstanding as of the applicable Registration Delay Payment Date, of, or, corresponding to, such Investor’s Registrable Securities included, or required to be included, in the applicable
Registration Statement. Without limiting the remedies available to the Investors, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under this Section 2 will result in material irreparable injury to the
Investors for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Investors may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically
enforce the Company’s obligations under this Section 2. 
 3. Related Obligations. 

At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), 2(g) or
2(h), the Company will 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:

 (a) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each
Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction or limitation
pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The
term “reasonable best efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular
Registration Statement will be made by the staff of 

  
 13 

 
the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which
approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to
comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a
Registration Statement to be declared effective. 
 (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary
to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 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. In the
case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form
10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934
Act”), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the
requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement. 
 (c) The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to
review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its initial filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of
days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects in writing. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel,
without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy
of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference (to the extent not previously provided), if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and
(iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, in each case, which copies may be provided in electronic form. The
Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate in performing their respective obligations pursuant to this Section 3. 

  
 14 

 (d) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in
any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference (to the extent not previously provided), if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, a reasonable number of
copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor, in each case which copies may be provided in electronic form.

 (e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and
qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) 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(e), (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 Legal Counsel and each Investor 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 threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. 

(f) The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after
becoming aware of such event, but in any event within one (1) Trading Day of becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain
any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(q), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a reasonable number of copies of such
supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly as is practicable notify Legal Counsel and each Investor 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

  
 15 

 
effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for
amendments or supplements to a 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. By
9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date following the second (2nd) Trading Day any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424
under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
 (g) The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the 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 possible moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold 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. 

(h) If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it would reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and
substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for
purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors. 

(i) If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it would reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and
(iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively,
the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that
each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the
Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is
ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it 

  
 16 

 
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow
the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any
Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. 

(j) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement,
(iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has
been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by
a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to
obtain a protective order for, such information. 
 (k) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of
the Registrable Securities consisting of shares of Common Stock covered by a Registration Statement 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 the inclusion for quotation of all of such Registrable Securities on the Principal Market or (iii) if, despite the Company’s
reasonable best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on another Eligible Market for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company
shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k). 
 (l) The Company shall
cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to
be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request. 

(m) If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable but subject to the timing requirements set out elsewhere in this
Agreement with regard to the filing of any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, as applicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be
included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, 

  
 17 

 
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering
of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being 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 if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities. 

(n) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. 

(o) The Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection
with any registration hereunder. 
 (p) Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities
is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in
such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company after consultation with its counsel, in the best interest
of the Company and would be required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement so that such Registration Statement would not be materially misleading (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly
(i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such
material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and,
provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) Trading
Days, except in cases where either an affiliate of the Designee is serving on the Company’s Board of Directors or the Designee has been contacted by the Company in connection with assisting in the due diligence process of an Approved Investment
(as defined in the Notes) pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii) of the Securities Purchase Agreement in which case no Grace Period shall exceed thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such
Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of sixty (60) Trading Days, and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace
Period”). During the term of any Grace Period, the Company after consultation with its counsel may (i) defer any registration of Registrable Securities and have the right not to file and not to cause the

  
 18 

 
effectiveness of any registration statement covering any Registrable Securities, (ii) suspend the use of any prospectus and Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities and
(iii) require the Investors holding Registrable Securities to suspend any offerings or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall
begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such
notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect
to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its
transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has
entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled. 

(r) Except in the circumstances set forth in Sections 3(h) and 3(i) hereof, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof shall
identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market without the prior written consent of such Investor and any Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not
relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including
the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement; provided, further, that in the circumstances set forth in Sections 3(h) and 3(i) hereof,
such Investor shall be given the option to be excluded from such Registration Statement and not be identified as an underwriter therein, and in the event that the Investor does not exercise that option, the Investor shall provide prior written
consent to be identified as an underwriter. 
 (s) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor
shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof. 
 4. Listing of Notes, Series B Warrants and/or Preferred Shares. 

Upon the request of the Designee, at any time beginning on the one (1)-year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Notes, the Series B Warrants and/or the Preferred Shares (or, at the election of the Designee, depositary receipts representing fractional interests in Preferred Shares, Series B Warrants or the Notes) to be, as
requested by the Designee, listed for trading on the Principal Market or any Eligible Market as selected by the Company. To the extent necessary to cause the Notes, the Series B Warrants and/or the Preferred Shares to be so listed or quoted the
Company’s reasonable best efforts shall include, but not be limited to: 

  
 19 

 (a) providing a transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Shares and the Series B
Warrants and a trustee for the Notes, entering into an indenture with the trustee for the Notes and providing one or more CUSIP numbers, as may be required, for such Preferred Shares, Series B Warrants and Notes and permitting the Preferred Shares,
Series B Warrants and the Notes to be recorded in book-entry form; 
 (b) preparing and filing a registration statement to cause the
Preferred Shares, the Series B Warrants and the Notes to be registered under the 1934 Act, which shall be Form 8-A (or a successor form) if available; 

(c) cooperating with the Investors in connection with an underwritten secondary public offering of the Preferred Shares, the Series B Warrants
and the Notes and entering into and performing its obligations under an underwriting agreement in customary form; and 
 (d) paying related
expenses, fees and disbursements in accordance with Section 6 hereof and the limitations provided therein. 
 5. Obligations of the
Investors. 
 (a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the
Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a
condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish in a timely manner to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such
Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. 
 (b)
Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder,
unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. 

(c) During such time as any Investor may be engaged in a distribution of the Registrable Securities, such Investor will comply with all laws
applicable to such distribution, including Regulation M promulgated under the 1934 Act, and, to the extent required by such laws, will, among other things (i) not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the securities of the
Company in contravention of such laws; (ii) distribute the Registrable Securities acquired by them solely in the manner described in the applicable Registration Statement and (iii) if required by applicable law, cause to be furnished to
each agent or broker-dealer to or through whom such Registrable Securities may be offered, or to the offeree if an offer is made directly by such Investor, such copies of the applicable prospectus (as amended and supplemented to such date) and
documents incorporated by reference therein as may be required by such agent, broker-dealer or offeree. 

  
 20 

 (d) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening
of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable
Securities until such Investor’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any
sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the
first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled. 
 (e) Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. 

6. Expenses of Registration. 

All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, 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. The
Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $25,000 for each such
registration, filing or qualification. 
 7. Indemnification. 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement: 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the
directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement 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, 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

  
 21 

 
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 a Registration Statement 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 (“Blue Sky
Filing”), 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 untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the
SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 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 a
Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification set forth in this
Section 6 is intended to apply, and shall apply, to direct claims asserted by any Buyer against the Company as well as any third party claims asserted by an Indemnitee (other than a Buyer) against the Company. Subject to Section 7(c), the
Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any 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 7(a): (i) 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 furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); (ii) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person to the extent caused solely by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
and (iii) 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 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 Investors pursuant to Section 10. 

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not
jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 7(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 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 furnished to the
Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 7(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified 

  
 22 

 
Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 7(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such
Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net
proceeds to such Investor 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 Investors pursuant to Section 10. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by
an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 7 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 7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and, except in the case of a direct claim against the indemnifying
party, 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; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and
expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, 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. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate 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 proceeding effected without
its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written 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 and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated

  
 23 

 
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 7,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6(c) shall not apply to direct claims between the Company and a Buyer. 

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. 
 (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. 
 8. 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 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement. 
 9. Reports Under the 1934 Act. 

With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to: 

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; 

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long
as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and 

  
 24 

 (c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and
such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall not be obligated to send or deliver any of the foregoing to the Investors to the extent any of them are filed, furnished or otherwise made publicly available on the Company’s website or the SEC’s EDGAR (or any similar)
electronic filing system. 
 10. Assignment of Registration Rights. 

The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such
Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment;
(ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration
rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws;
(iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein by
delivering to the Company a duly executed Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit M attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Purchase Agreement. 
 11. 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 Required Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this
Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. 

12. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with
respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities. 

  
 25 

 (b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be
given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon delivery, when sent by facsimile or electronic mail (provided confirmation of
transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to
receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses for such communications shall be:

 (c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise,
or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. 
 (d) All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New
York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The
City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, 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. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

(e) If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred
upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or
unenforceable provision(s).

Agreement) and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than

required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the outstanding Preferred Shares then held by the Investors have been
converted for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations and all of the outstanding Warrants then held by the Investors have been exercised for
Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations upon exercise of the Warrants. 
 (l) The language used in this Agreement will be
deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. 

(m) This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 
 (n) The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other
Investor. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.

Attention: [_________] 

	Re:	 Acacia Research Corporation 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 [We are][I am] counsel to
Acacia Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2019 (the “Securities
Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”) with respect to which shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) are issuable, senior secured
notes and two (2) series1 of warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection
with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 201_, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-[1][3] (File
No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of
the Holders as a selling shareholder thereunder. 
 In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s
staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I]
have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the
Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement. 
 This letter shall serve as our
standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares
of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Transfer Agent Instructions dated [•], 2019.

 EXHIBIT B 

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS 
 The
shares of common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those issuable to the selling shareholders upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares and upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances
of those convertible preferred shares, notes and warrants, see “Private Placement of Convertible Preferred Shares, Notes and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to
offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the convertible preferred shares, the notes and the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement2, the
selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. 
 The table below lists the selling
shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder,
based on its ownership of the convertible preferred shares, notes and warrants, as of ________, 20__, assuming conversion of all convertible preferred shares and exercise of all warrants held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard
to any limitations on the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations or upon exercise of the Warrants. 

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders. 

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of
at least the sum of 130% of (i) the intiial number of shares of common stock issued and issuable pursuant to the certificate of designations as of the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC and (ii) the maximum
number of shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the related warrants as of the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC3, all subject to adjustment as
provided in the registration rights agreement and in each case without regard to any limitations on the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the certificate of designations or upon exercise of the warrants. Because the
conversion price of the convertible preferred shares may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the
shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus. 
 Under the terms of the convertible preferred shares and the
warrants, a selling shareholder may not convert the convertible preferred shares or exercise the warrants, to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of
shares of common stock which would exceed, except in limited circumstances with respect to the convertible preferred shares, 4.89% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such
determination shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the certificate of

designations if such convertible preferred shares have not been converted and upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not

 Annex I-3 

 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the certificate of designations and upon exercise of the
warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the convertible preferred shares, and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling
shareholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock. 

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to
time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or
agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales
may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, 
  

	 	•	 	 on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the
time of sale; 

  

	 	•	 	 in the over-the-counter market;

  

	 	•	 	 in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; 

  

	 	•	 	 through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

 

	 	•	 	 through privately negotiated transactions; 

 

	 	•	 	 through short sales; 

  

	 	•	 	 through sales pursuant to Rule 144; 

  
 Annex I-4 

	 	•	 	 through block trades in which broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; 

  

	 	•	 	 a combination of any such methods of sale; and 

 

	 	•	 	 any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 

If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to
whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares
of common stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling
shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also
loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. 
 The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the convertible preferred shares, warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the
shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling
shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the
transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. 
 The
selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or
concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be
distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting
compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. 

  
 Annex I-5 

 There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of
common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. 
 The selling shareholders and any
other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act,
which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares
of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of common stock. 
 We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock
pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[    ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue
sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act,
in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that
may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution. 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the
hands of persons other than our affiliates.
