Similarly, Baytex and Williston Hunter each also entered into their own respective gas purchase agreement with Oneok dated March 15, 2012 covering the same lands as the Oneok Gas Purchase Agreement with identical terms (each a
“Concurrent. Contract” as defined in each of the respective gas purchase agreements). Under the Concurrent Contracts (one of which is the Oneok Gas Purchase Agreement) the parties each individually agreed to acquire

  
 -29-

	 	
and/or bear their proportionate share of a variety of commitments, including, but not limited to, certain financial and volumetric thru-put commitments with Oneok under their respective
Concurrent Contracts (collectively, the “Oneok Commitments”). Furthermore, the Oneok Commitments specifically include, but are not limited to, the Electricity Infrastructure Build-Out (as defined in the Concurrent Contracts) as well
as the Minimum Quantity Agreement (as defined in the Concurrent Contracts), both of which are identified and described on Exhibit “A” of the Concurrent Contracts. As part of the consideration for the Parties entering into this Agreement,
the Parties have agreed that upon Closing, Buyer shall assume twenty-seven. percent (27%) of Seller’s original fifty-two and one-half percent (52.5%) of all Oneok Commitments as provided for under the Concurrent Contracts.

Purchase Agreement to evidence the adjustments described in this Section 11.5, (including Buyer’s assumption of the percentage of the Oneok Commitments as described in the prior paragraph). 

Until Buyer and Seller are able to amend the Oneok Gas Purchase Agreement to reflect Buyer’s obligation to assume twenty-seven
percent (27%) of Seller’s Oneok Commitments under the Oneok Gas Purchase Agreement by obtaining the written agreement of Oneok, this Section 11.5 shall serve as the agreement among the Parties as to how the Oneok Commitments
shall be assumed, apportioned, borne and shared by and between the Parties, by the above stated percentages amongst themselves. In the event the Parties cannot obtain the written agreement of Oneok, then upon receipt by Seller of any invoice or
payment netting from or by Oneok for an unadjusted or incorrect adjusted Oneok Commitment in Seller’s Oneok Gas Purchase Agreement, Seller shall notify Buyer or its successors and/or assigns and within thirty (30) days of receipt of
Seller’s notice, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for Buyer’s share of said unadjusted or incorrect adjusted Oneok Commitment. 
  

	 	11.6	Oneok Letter Agreements—By way of two (2) separate letter agreements dated March 1.5, 2012, Seller, Baytex and Williston Hunter, each agreed to
further define and/or limit their respective rights under the Concurrent Contracts (collectively, the two letter agreements shall be referred to herein as the “Oneok Letter Agreements”. One letter agreement addressed amending any of
the Concurrent Contracts, while the other letter agreement addressed MVA Allocations under the Concurrent Contracts. 

 Under the letter agreement regarding amendments to the Concurrent Contracts, Seller, Baytex and Williston Hunter agreed that they would notify one another in the event that their rights under any of their
respective Concurrent Contracts were amended. The letter agreement regarding the MVA Allocations under the Concurrent Contracts addressed allocation of volumes of production under certain scenarios. Buyer and Seller shall notify the parties to the
Oneok Letter Agreements of their desired amendment to the Concurrent Contracts. In addition, Buyer agrees to (i) assume its proportionate share (as set forth in Section 11.5 above) of Seller’s rights and obligations with
respect to the MVA Allocations, (ii) ratify, adopt and confirm the Oneok Letter Agreements and to be bound thereby as to its proportionate share of the obligations being acquired by Buyer by way of this Agreement, and (iii) both Buyer and
Seller agree that they shall be hound by the terms of the Oneok Letter Agreements and shall work with one another to ensure that the terms and provisions thereof are adhered to accordingly.

	17.	CASUALTY LOSS 

 If prior
to Closing any of the Assets are substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (“Casualty Defect”), Seller shall notify Buyer promptly after Seller learns of such event. Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure any such Casualty Defect by repairing such damage or, in the case of Equipment, replacing the damaged Equipment with equivalent items, no later than the Closing, insofar as the same are done to Buyer’s reasonable
satisfaction. If any Casualty Defect exists at Closing, at Buyer’s option, Buyer may proceed to purchase the damaged Assets, and the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the aggregate reduction in value of all affected Assets on account of
such Casualty Defect. In the event the Parties cannot agree on the value or Buyer elects not to purchase the damaged Assets, the damaged Assets shall be excluded from this transaction and the Base Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocated
Value of such Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 17, Seller shall be entitled to retain all insurance proceeds, if any, and claims against other parties relating to any such Casualty Defect. For purposes of
this provision, normal wear and tear shall not be considered a Casualty Defect.

	 	(b)	by written notice from either Buyer or Seller if Closing has not occurred on or before January 30, 2013; provided, however, that no Party may
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.1(b) if such Party’s breach of its representations and warranties or its failure to comply with its obligations or covenants under this Agreement caused the Closing not to occur
on or before the above date; or 

  

	 	(c)	by written notice from either Buyer or Seller if the aggregate sum of (i) the Title Defect amounts for all Title Defects timely and properly asserted pursuant to
Article 7, (ii) the Environmental Defect amounts for all Environmental Defects timely and properly asserted pursuant to Article 8, and (iii) the Casualty Defect amounts pursuant to Article 17 exceed the Termination Threshold.

20.5 shall survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated because of either: 

  
 -41-

	 	(a)	a willful or intentional breach of this Agreement by the Seller or because Buyer’s conditions to Closing are not satisfied as a result of Seller’s willful or
intentional failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (and, as a result, Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 19.1(b) above), then Buyer shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit, plus
the actual interest earned thereon, and shall also be entitled to pursue all remedies available at law for damages or other relief, in equity or otherwise; or

intentional failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement (and, as a result, Seller elects to terminate this Agreement under Section 19.1(b) above), then Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit, plus the actual
interest earned thereon as liquidated damages (and the Parties hereby acknowledge that the extent of damages to Seller occasioned by such breach or default or failure to proceed by Buyer would be impossible or extremely impractical to ascertain and
that the Deposit, plus the actual interest earned thereon, is a fair and reasonable estimate of such damage), and pursue its right to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 20.11. 

ARTICLE 20 
  

	20.	MISCELLANEOUS

 4. Awards 
 (a) From time to time, the Committee will determine the form, amounts, terms, conditions and limitations of Awards, consistent with the terms of this Plan. The form, amount, terms, conditions and
limitations of each Award under the Plan shall be set forth in an Award Agreement, in a form approved by the Committee, consistent, however, with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that such Award Agreement shall contain provisions dealing
with the treatment of Awards in the event of the termination of employment or service (as applicable), Disability or death of a Participant. Such Awards may take the following forms described in Section 4(b) and 4(c) hereunder, in the
Committee’s sole discretion. 
 (b) An Award may be made by the Committee in the form of Options, in which case the Award
Agreement evidencing such Award shall include, inter alia, the option exercise period and the option exercise price (which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted, other than in the
case of Options granted in substitution of previously granted awards as described herein) and such other terms, conditions or restrictions on the grant or exercise of the Option as the Committee deems appropriate not inconsistent with this Plan. In
addition to other restrictions contained in the Plan, an Option granted under this Section 4(b) may not be exercised more than 10 years after the date it is granted. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or as the Committee may
determine, the purchase price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant (i) in cash, (ii) in Shares (any such Shares valued at Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise) that the Participant has held for such period of time as may be required by the Company’s accountants, if any, (iii) through the withholding of Shares (any such Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise) otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option in a manner that is compliant with applicable law, or (iv) a combination of the foregoing methods, in each such case in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Option Agreement;
provided, that except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or agreed by the Committee, the Participant will pay any taxes due in respect of such exercise in cash other than the minimum amount of any taxes that the Company or any of its
Affiliates are required to withhold and are withheld pursuant to Section 12. No Participant shall have any rights to distributions or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given
written notice of exercise of the Option, the Participant has paid in full for such Shares, the Shares in question have been recorded on the Company’s register of interest holders, and if applicable, the Participant has satisfied any other
conditions reasonably imposed by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. 

(c) An Award may be made by the Committee in the form of restricted shares, phantom stock, warrants or other securities that are
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for or into Shares, or based on the Fair Market Value of Shares in which case the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall include, inter alia, such terms, conditions or restrictions, as the
Committee determines appropriate. Unless otherwise agreed by the Committee or provided in any Award Agreement, the Participant will pay any taxes due in respect or any Award in cash. 
 5. Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations and Conditions 
 (a) Subject to
Section 8, the number of Shares available for Awards under this Plan shall be equal to 10% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as of the effective date of the Plan as set forth in Section 13. Unless restricted by applicable law,
Shares related to Awards that are forfeited, terminated, canceled or expire unexercised shall immediately become available for new Awards. 

  
 4 

 (b) No Awards shall be granted under the Plan beyond ten years after the effective date of
the Plan as set forth in Section 13, but the terms of Awards made on or before the expiration of the Plan may extend beyond such expiration date. At the time an Award is made or amended or the terms or conditions of an Award are changed in
accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement, the Committee may provide for limitations or conditions on such Award. 
 (c) No such Awards shall, prior to vesting and delivery thereof to the Participant, be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.

 (d) Other than as specifically provided in the Award Agreement and/or in the management stockholder’s agreement or
employee stockholder’s agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and a given Participant (each a “Stockholder’s Agreement”), no benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No such benefit shall, prior to receipt thereof by the Participant, be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph above, the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of the Option to such extent as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act at the time
of the grant of the Option and in a manner consistent with applicable tax and securities laws upon the Optionholder’s request. 
 (e) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and other than as specifically provided in the Award Agreement and/or in the Stockholder’s Agreement, an Award shall not be transferable or assignable
by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Award exercisable after the death of a Participant may be exercised by his legatees, personal representative, or distributees. 

(f) Other than as specifically provided in the Award Agreement and/or in the Stockholder’s Agreement, Participants shall not be, and
shall not have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in respect of any Awards exercisable, settled, convertible or exchangeable into Shares, unless and until book entry representing such Shares has been made. 

(g) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or as specifically provided in the Award Agreement and/or in the Stockholder’s
Agreement, no exercise of any Award may be made during a Participant’s lifetime by anyone other than the Participant, except by a legal representative appointed for or by the Participant in accordance with the requirements set forth by the
Company. 
 (h) Absent express provisions to the contrary in the applicable retirement, severance and/or other benefit plan or
arrangement, any Award under this Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement or severance plan of the Company or its Affiliates and shall not affect any benefits under any other
benefit plan of any kind now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. 

6. Transfers and Leaves of Absence 
 For purposes of the Plan, unless the Committee determines otherwise: (a) a transfer of a Participant’s employment without an intervening period of separation among the Company and any of its
Affiliates shall not be deemed a termination of employment, and (b) a Participant who is awarded in writing a leave of absence or who is entitled to a statutory leave of absence shall be deemed to have remained in the employ of the Company (and
any of its Affiliates) during such leave of absence.

 7. Adjustments 
 (a) In the event of any equity split, spin off, equity distribution or dividend (other than regular cash dividends or distributions), equity combination, reclassification, recapitalization, liquidation,
dissolution, reorganization, merger, or similar event, the Committee shall adjust appropriately (i) the number and kind of Shares subject to the Plan, as set forth in Sections 5 and 6 hereof, and available for or covered by Awards and
(ii) the exercise prices of Options and Share prices related to outstanding Awards, and make such other revisions or substitutions to outstanding Awards, in each case, as it deems, in good faith, to be equitable or required; provided that
(A) any adjustments made pursuant to Sections 7 or 8 to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code;
(B) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 7 or 8 to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the
Awards either (1) continue not to be subject to Section 409A or (2) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; and (3) in any event, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have the authority to make any adjustments
pursuant to Sections 7 or 8 to the extent the existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A at the time of grant to be subject thereto as of the time of grant. 

(b) Any adjustment provided under this Section 7 may, in the Committee’s discretion, provide for the elimination of any
fractional Share that might otherwise become subject to an Award. 
 8. Merger, Consolidation, Exchange, Acquisition, Liquidation or
Dissolution 
 In the event of a Change of Control after the effective date of the Plan, the Committee may (subject to
Section 11), in its sole discretion, provide for one or more of the following: (i) adjust all Awards as contemplated in Section 7 hereof, (ii) accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of Awards, subject to the consummation of
such Change of Control, (iii) cancel Awards for fair value (as determined in the sole reasonable and good faith discretion of the Committee) which, in the case of Options or other Awards subject to exercise shall be not less than the excess, if
any, of the value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction to holders of the same number of Shares subject to such Award (or, if no consideration is paid in any such transaction, the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to such Award) over the aggregate exercise price of such Award; (iv) provide for the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted hereunder or
(v) provide that for a period of at least 30 days prior to the Change of Control and following written notice to any affected Participants, the Options or other Awards subject to exercise shall be exercisable as to all Shares subject thereto
(whether vested or unvested) and that upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, to the extent not theretofore exercised by the Participant, such Award shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. 

9. Amendment and Termination 
 (a) The Committee shall have the authority to make such amendments to any outstanding Awards as are consistent with this Plan, provided that no such action shall modify any Award in a manner adverse to
the Participant without the Participant’s consent except as such modification is provided for or contemplated in the terms of the Award or this Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Sections 7 or 8 hereof). 

(b) Other than as specifically provided in any Award Agreement, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, except that no such
action, other than an action under Sections 7 or 8 hereof, may be taken which would, without stockholder approval, increase the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan, decrease the price of outstanding Awards, change the
requirements relating to the Committee as set forth in Section 3 hereof, or extend the term of the Plan.

 10. Governing Law 
 (a) This Plan shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principal of conflict of laws. 

(b) The Committee may make Awards to employees, non-employee members of the Board, consultants, or other persons having a relationship
with the Company or any of its Affiliates who are subject to the laws of jurisdictions other than those of the United States, which Awards may have terms and conditions that differ from the terms thereof as provided elsewhere in the Plan for the
purpose of complying with non-US, laws or otherwise as deemed to be necessary or desirable by the Committee. 
 11. Conformity to
Section 409A and Compliance with Exemption Provided by Rule 12h-1 
 (a) Conformity to Section 409A. It is
intended that all Awards under this Plan and any Award Agreement either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A. All Options or other similar Awards that are granted with an exercise price shall be granted with an exercise price such that
the Award would not constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A or shall otherwise be structured to avoid taxation under Section 409A unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise. Any ambiguity in
this Plan and any Award Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with Section 409A. In the case of an Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A, no termination of employment shall
be deemed a termination from employment for purposes of such Award unless it is a “separation from service” under Section 409A. To the extent applicable, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee with and upon advice of
counsel, (a) each amount or benefit payable pursuant to this Plan and any Award Agreement shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A and (b) in the event the equity interests of the Company are publicly traded on
an established securities market or otherwise and the Participant is a “specified employee” (as determined under the Company’s administrative procedure for such determinations, in accordance with Section 409A) at the time of the
Participant’s termination of employment, any payments under this Plan or any Award Agreement that are deemed to be non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and that are payable (whether in cash, Shares or other property)
in connection with the Participant’s separation from service shall not be paid or begin payment until the earlier of the Participant’s death and the first day following the six (6) month anniversary of the Participant’s
separation from service. The Committee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 11(a) in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Board, the Committee nor any of the Company’s
employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 11(a) to the extent administered in accordance therewith and with the terms of the Award Agreement. 

(b) Compliance with Exemption Provided by Rule 12h-1(f). It is intended that all Awards under this Plan and any Award Agreement
either be exempt from registration under the Exchange Act or comply with an exemption thereto. If: 
 (i) the aggregate of the
number of Participants and the number of holders of all other outstanding compensatory employee stock options to purchase Shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds five hundred (500), or such applicable number as may hereafter be designated under
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and 

  
 7 

 (ii) the assets of the Company at the end of the Company’s most recently completed
fiscal year exceed $10 million, then the following restrictions shall apply during any period during which the Company does not have a class of its securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and is not required to file reports
under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act: 
 (A) the Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares of Common
Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options may not be transferred until the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f) of the Exchange Act (“Rule 12h-1(f)”), except: 

(1) as permitted by Rule 701(c) promulgated under the Securities Act, 

(2) to a guardian upon the disability of the Participant, or 
 (3) to an executor upon the death of the Participant (collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”); 
 provided, however, the following transfers are permitted: 
 (i) transfers by the
Participant to the Company, and 
 (ii) transfers in connection with a Change of Control or other acquisition involving the
Company, if following such transaction, the Options no longer remain outstanding and the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f); 
 provided further, that any Permitted Transferees may not further transfer the Options except pursuant to 3(i) or 3(ii) above or as otherwise permitted under Rule 12h-1(f); 

(B) except as otherwise provided in (A) above, the Options and Shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the
Options are restricted as to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short position, any “put equivalent position” as defined by Rule 16a-1(h) of the Exchange Act, or any “call equivalent position” as defined
by Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act by the Participant prior to exercise of an Option until the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f); and 

(C) at any time that the Company is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f), the Company shall deliver to
Participants (whether by physical or electronic delivery or written notice of the availability of the information on an internet site) the information required by Rule 701(e)(3), (4), and (5) of the Securities Act every six (6) months,
including financial statements that are not more than one hundred eighty (180) days old; provided, however, that the Company may condition the delivery of such information upon the Participant’s agreement to maintain its confidentiality.

 (c) Compliance with Exemption Provided by Rule 12h-1(g). It is intended that all Awards under this Plan and any Award
Agreement either be exempt from registration under the Exchange Act or comply with an exemption thereto. If the Company has a class of its securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or is otherwise required to file reports under
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options may not be transferred until the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(g) of
the Exchange Act, except as permitted by Rule 701(c) of the Securities Act or to those persons specified in General Instruction A.1(a) of Form S-8 of the Securities Act. 

  
 8 

 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer restrictions on the Stock and Options set
forth in this Plan, any Stockholder’s Agreement, any Award Agreement or any other applicable agreement shall not be reduced, eliminated or otherwise altered except in accordance with the terms of this Plan, such Stockholder’s Agreement,
such Award Agreement or other applicable agreement. 
 12. Withholding Taxes 

If the Company and/or any Affiliate shall be required to withhold any amounts by reason of any Federal, State, local or foreign tax rules
or regulations in respect of any Award, the Company and/or any Affiliate shall be entitled to take such action as it deems appropriate in order to ensure compliance with such withholding requirements. The Company or any of its Affiliates shall have
the right, at its option, to (a) require the Participant to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes which the Company or any of its Affiliates may be required to withhold with respect to such Award, provided, however, that a
Participant shall have the right to cause the Company or any of its Affiliates to withhold Shares subject to the Award having a Fair Market Value of the minimum amount of any taxes which the Company or any of its Affiliates are required to withhold
with respect to such Award, consistent with Section 409A, or (b) deduct from any amount otherwise payable in cash (whether related to the Award or otherwise) to the Participant the amount of any taxes which the Company or any of its
Affiliates may be required to withhold with respect to such Award. 
 13. Effective Date and Termination Dates 

The Plan shall be effective as of April 16, 2012 and shall terminate ten years later, subject to earlier termination by the Board
pursuant to Section 9. 
 14. Miscellaneous 
 (a) ERISA. This Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
 (b) No Right of Employment or Service. Nothing contained herein, in an Award Agreement or in an Award shall confer on any employee, director or consultant any right to be continued in the employ or
service of the Company and/or any Affiliates, constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service or affect an employee’s status as an at-will employee, nor shall anything contained herein, in any Award Agreement or an Award
affect any rights which the Company and/or its Affiliates may have to change a person’s compensation or other benefits or terminate such person’s employment or association with the Company and/or its Affiliates for any reason (with or
without cause, with or without compensation) at any time. 
 (c) Funding. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, no
benefit or promise under the Plan shall be secured by any specific assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor shall any assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates be designated as attributable or allocated to the satisfaction of the
Company’s obligations under the Plan. 
 (d) Non-Uniform Determinations. The Committee’s determinations under
the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive or are eligible to receive Awards (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be
entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to the persons to receive Awards under the Plan and the terms and provisions of Awards under the Plan.

  
 9 

 (e) Section Headings; Construction. The section headings contained herein are for the
purpose of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the contents of the sections. All words used in this Plan shall be construed to be of such gender or number, as the circumstances require. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the
word “including” does not limit the preceding words or terms. 
 (f) Severability. In the event any provision of
the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and such
Award Agreement and such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified as it such provision had not been included. 
 (g) Survival of Terms; Conflicts. The provisions of the Plan shall survive the termination of the Plan to the extent consistent with, or necessary to carry out, the purposes thereof. Each Award
Agreement remains subject to the terms of the Plan, however, in the event of any conflict between specific provisions of the Plan and an Award Agreement, the Award Agreement shall control. 

(h) Required Disclosure Under Rule 701. The Company shall deliver to Participants (whether by physical or electronic delivery or
written notice of the availability of the information on an internet site) the information required by Rule 701(e) of the Securities Act every six (6) months, including financial statements that are not more than one hundred eighty
(180) days old. 
 (i) Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of
exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative
reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the
Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise
distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the
Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited
to, legends restricting the transfer of the shares of Common Stock. The Company also may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Awards to agree to certain restrictions on transfer in connection with
the Company becoming publicly traded or the first underwritten registration of the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act.
