Securities. 
 (b) Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities. 

 SECTION 3. Registered Exchange Offer. 

(a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in
Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), or there are no Transfer Restricted Securities outstanding, the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission, a Registration Statement under the Securities
Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file
(A) all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to
Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are
necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) promptly after the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to Consummate the Exchange Offer not later than 366 days following the Closing Date (or if such 366th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Exchange Date”); provided, however, that
the Issuers shall not be required to Consummate such Exchange Offer if all of the Securities are Freely Tradable on or before the Exchange Date. The Exchange Offer, if required pursuant to this Section 3(a), shall be on the appropriate form
permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Transfer Restricted Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof.

 (b) If an Exchange Offer Registration Statement is required to be filed and declared effective pursuant to Section 3(a)
above, the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than 20
Business Days (or longer if required by applicable securities laws) after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Issuers shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No
securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated by the Exchange Date;
provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to Consummate the Exchange Offer if all of the Securities are Freely Tradable on or before the Exchange Date. 

(c) The Issuers shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities
acquired directly from the Issuers), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must,
therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by
the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration 

 
Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit
such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as
a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement. 
 If an Exchange Offer Registration Statement is required
pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the
provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days
from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

 The Issuers shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request
at any time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales. 

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration. 
 (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange
Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated by the Exchange Date and the
Securities are not all Freely Tradable at to such time, or (iii) prior to the Exchange Date with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities such Holder notifies the Issuers that (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law
or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuers or one of their affiliates,
then, upon such Holder’s request, the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall 
 (x) cause to be filed a
shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on or prior to the 30th day
after the date such obligation arises, provided that the Issuers shall not be required to file such Shelf Registration Statement any earlier than the 366th day after the Closing Date (or if such 366th day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day) (such date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information
required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and 
 (y) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission (or automatically become effective under the Securities Act) on or before the 45th day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (or if such 45th day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day). 

 Each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted
Securities by the Holders of such Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, from the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission until the expiration of the one-year period referred to in Rule 144 applicable to securities held by non-affiliates
under the Securities Act (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or are Freely Tradable).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the requirements to file a Shelf Registration Statement and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective and remain effective shall terminate at such time as all of the Securities are Freely
Tradable. 
 (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Issuers in writing, within 20 Business Days
after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Issuers may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf
Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuers by such Holder not materially misleading. 

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. If any of the Securities are not Freely Tradable Securities by the Exchange Date and either
(i) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated, (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has not been declared effective by the Commission or (or has not automatically become effective) 45 days after the Shelf Filing
Deadline, (iii) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement has been declared effective (or has automatically become effective) but ceases to remain effective at any time at which it is required to be effective under this Agreement
(each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Registration Default”), the Issuers hereby agree that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during
the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period (such increase, “Additional Interest”), but in no event shall
such increase exceed 1.00% per annum. At the earlier of (i) the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to the particular Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) the particular Transfer Restricted Securities having become Freely
Tradable, the interest rate borne by the relevant 

 
Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in
interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 

The additional interest set forth above shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to Holders for each Registration Default.

 All obligations of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with
respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full. 

SECTION 6. Registration Procedures. 
 (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, if required pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall comply with all of
the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution
thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions: 
 (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to
the Issuers there is a question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the
Issuers and the Initial Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. Each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but
shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. Each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the Commission,
(B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Issuers setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a
favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission. 
 (ii) As a condition to its participation in
the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Issuers, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Issuers (which may be
contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Issuers, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no
arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its
ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Issuers’ preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder will be required to acknowledge and

 
agree that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under
Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13,
1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement
containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Transfer Restricted Securities acquired by such
Holder directly from the Issuers. 
 (b) Shelf Registration Statement. If required pursuant to Section 4(a), in
connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit
the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors will as expeditiously as possible prepare and
file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended
method or methods of distribution thereof. 
 (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and
any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to permit resales of Transfer Restricted
Securities by Broker-Dealers), each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall: 
 (i) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the Initial Guarantors
for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or
(B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Issuers shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A),
correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to
become usable for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter; 
 (ii) prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof,

 
as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or are Freely Tradable; cause the Prospectus
to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424, 430A and 430B under the Securities Act in a
timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; 

(iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such
advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective,
(B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If at
any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from
qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the
earliest possible time; 
 (iv) furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers or counsel thereto, each
selling Holder named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders and underwriter(s) in
connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Issuers will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
all such documents incorporated by reference) to which an Initial Purchaser of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object in writing within five Business Days after
the receipt thereof (such objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable if such Registration
Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission; 

 (v) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated
by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus after the initial filing of any such Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers or counsel thereto, each selling Holder named in any Registration
Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the Issuers’ and the Initial Guarantors’ representatives available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document
prior to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request; 
 (vi)
make available at reasonable times for inspection by the Initial Purchasers, the managing underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such Initial
Purchasers or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors and cause the Issuers’ and the Initial Guarantors’ officers, directors
and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to
its effectiveness and to participate in meetings with investors to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s), if any; 
 (vii) if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if
necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted
Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be
sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Issuers are notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment; 
 (viii) cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be rated
with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered thereby or the underwriter(s), if any; 

(ix) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at
least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits
incorporated therein by reference); 

 (x) deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any,
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors hereby consents to the use of the
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto; 
 (xi) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and make such
representations and warranties, and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement,
all to such extent as may be reasonably requested by any Initial Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement;
and in connection with any offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, each of the Issuers and the Initial
Guarantors shall: 
 (A) furnish to the Initial Purchaser, each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in
such substance and scope as they may request and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement: 

(1) a certificate, dated the date of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, signed by (y) the
President or any Vice President and (z) a principal financial or accounting officer or, except with respect to the certificate of the Company, any other officer of each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, confirming, as of the date
thereof and to the extent applicable, the matters set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(e) of the Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request; 

(2) an opinion, dated the date of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, of counsel for the Issuers and
the Initial Guarantors, covering the matters set forth in Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request, and in any event including a customary statement substantially to the effect that
such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, representatives of the
Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and counsel to the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the preparation of such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have considered the matters required to be stated
therein and the statements contained therein, although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that 

 
such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time such
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Shelf Registration Statement as of its date contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
the financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial data included in any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and 

(3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, from the
Issuers’ independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to be covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, and covering or affirming the
matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Purchase Agreement; 

(B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions
and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; and 
 (C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with Section 6(c)(xi)(A) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in
the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Issuers or any of the Initial Guarantors pursuant to this Section 6(c)(xi), if any. 
 If at any time, in connection with an offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, the representations and warranties of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors contemplated in
Section 6(c)(xi)(A)(1) hereof cease to be true and correct, the Issuers or the Initial Guarantors shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall
confirm such advice in writing; 
 (xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the state securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities

 
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that neither the Issuers nor the Initial Guarantors shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign entity where it is
not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject; 
 (xiii) shall issue, upon the request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities surrendered to the Issuers by such Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such
Holder; such Exchange Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the purchaser(s) of such Securities, as the case may be; in return, the Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the
Issuers for cancellation; 
 (xiv) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered
in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such Holders or underwriter(s); 

(xv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration
Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted
Securities, subject to the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xii) hereof; 
 (xvi) if any fact or event
contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading; 
 (xvii) provide a CUSIP number for all Securities not later than the
effective date of the Registration Statement covering such Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for such Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and take all
other action necessary to ensure that all such Securities are eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company; 
 (xviii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent
underwriter”) that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FINRA; 

 (xix) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Securities Act (which need not be
audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in an Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering,
beginning with the first month of the Issuers’ first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement; 
 (xx) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith,
cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of Securities to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a
timely manner; 
 (xxi) cause all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Issuers are then listed if requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities or the
managing underwriter(s), if any; and 
 (xxii) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed
with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act. 
 Each Holder
agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised in
writing (the “Advice”) by the Issuers that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so directed by the
Issuers, each Holder will deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers’ expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at
the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Issuers shall give any such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by the
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in determining whether Additional Interest
is due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Additional Interest, it being agreed that the Issuers’ option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration Default for
purposes of Section 5 hereof. 

 SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. 

(a) All expenses incident to the Issuers’ and the Initial Guarantors’ performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be
borne by the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, jointly and severally, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made
by any Initial Purchaser or Holder with the FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent underwriter” that may be required by the rules and regulations of the FINRA)); (ii) all fees and expenses of
compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger
and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuers, the Initial Guarantors and, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing
fees in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Issuers
and the Initial Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
 Each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Issuers or the Initial Guarantors. 
 (b) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP or such other counsel as
may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Shelf Registration Statement is being prepared. 
 SECTION 8. Indemnification. 
 (a) The Issuers and the Initial
Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any
Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any
Holder or any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or
any investigation or 

 
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly
caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Issuers by any of the Holders expressly for use therein. This
indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers or any of the Initial Guarantors may otherwise have. 
 In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity
may be sought against the Issuers or the Initial Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors in writing; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Issuers or the Initial Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Issuers and the
Initial Guarantors shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by the Holders. The Issuers and the Initial
Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Issuers’ and the Initial Guarantors’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Issuers and the
Initial Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Issuers and the Initial
Guarantors. The Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action,
claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding. 
 (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, the Initial Guarantors and their respective directors, officers of the
Issuers and the Initial Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Issuers or any of the Initial Guarantors, and
the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the 

 
foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such Holder
furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Issuers, the Initial Guarantors or their respective directors or officers or any such controlling
person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, and the Issuers, the Initial Guarantors, their
respective directors and officers and such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph. 
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those
Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors from the Initial Placement), the
amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such
allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or any of the Initial Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on
the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim. 
 The Issuers, the Initial Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, 

 
in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled
to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities held
by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint. 
 SECTION 9. Rule 144A. Each of the Issuers and the Initial
Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any
prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to
Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 
 SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may
participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer such offering will be
selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuers. 
 SECTION 12. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Remedies. Each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Issuers and the Initial Guarantors will not on or after the date of this Agreement
enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Issuers nor any of the Initial Guarantors has
previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the
holders of the Issuers’ or any of the Initial Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 

 (c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Issuers will not take any action, or
permit any change to occur, with respect to the Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer. 
 (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given
unless the Issuers have (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof,
obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuers or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose
securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that, with
respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuers shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement,
waiver, consent or departure is to be effective. 
 (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

FORM OF 

VAPOR CORP. 

NON-PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 THIS NON-PLAN STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into this          day of June 2012 by and between Vapor Corp., a Nevada corporation
having its principal office at 3001 Griffin Road, Dania Beach, Florida 3312 (the “Corporation”), and                  (the “Optionee”). 

In consideration of the mutual promises set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
 1. Summary of Grant 

 Total Option Shares: 
 Exercise
Price Per Share: 
 Date of Grant: 

Expiration Date: (unless earlier terminated under Section 4 below) 
 2. Grant of Option 
 The Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee a
non-plan stock option (the “Option”) to purchase from the Corporation the total number of shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Corporation set forth above in Section 1 as Total Option Shares (the
“Shares”) at the Exercise Price Per Share set forth above in Section 1 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Option shall constitute a nonqualified stock option for
purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 3. Vesting and Exercise of Option 

 The Option shall vest and become exercisable as to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the number of Shares on the first day of each full month
following the Grant Date (as specified above in Section 1) so long as the Optionee has not incurred a Termination of Service (as defined in Section 20 below) prior to the vesting date with respect to each such increment of the Option.

 Notwithstanding the vesting provisions described above, this Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of
the Shares upon the Optionee’s Termination of Service if the Optionee’s Termination of Service is due to his/her death, Disability or without Cause. 
 The schedule set forth above is cumulative, so that Shares as to which the Option has become vested and exercisable pursuant to the provisions above may be purchased pursuant to exercise of the Option at
any date subsequent to vesting but prior to termination of the Option. The Option may be exercised at any time and from time to time to purchase up to the number of Shares as to which it is then vested and exercisable. 

4. Termination of Option  
 This Option shall remain exercisable as specified in Section 3 above until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the earliest to occur of the dates specified below, upon which date the Option shall
terminate: 
 (a) the date on which all of the Shares have been purchased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; 

(b) upon the expiration of 90 days following the Optionee’s Termination of Service for any reason other than his/her death,
Disability, or for Cause; 
 (c) upon the expiration of 180 days following Optionee’s Termination of Service on account of
his/her Disability; 
 (d) upon the expiration of 360 days following Optionee’s Termination of Service on account of his/her
death; 

 (e) immediately upon Optionee’s Termination of Service for Cause; or 

(f) on the Expiration Date set forth above in Section 1. 
 Upon its termination, the Option shall have no further force or effect and Optionee shall have no further rights under the Option or to any Shares which have not been purchased pursuant to prior exercise
of the Option. 
 5. Manner of Exercise of Option  
 (a) Exercise. The Option may be exercised only by (i) Optionee’s completion, execution and delivery to the Corporation of a notice of exercise and (ii) the payment to the
Corporation, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares being purchased as specified in Optionee’s notice of exercise (the “Purchase Price”). Optionee’s
notice of exercise shall be given in the manner specified in Section 10 but any exercise of the Option shall be effective only when the items required by the preceding sentence are actually received by the Corporation. The notice of exercise
shall be in the form attached to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Option may be exercised only if such exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in
effect on the date of exercise,, with the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) being the final arbitrator thereof, in its sole and absolute discretion, in the event of any dispute between the Corporation and the Optionee
with regard to the interpretation of such laws. 
 (b) Form of Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) by cash, (ii) by check payable to the order of the Corporation; (iii) by delivery of proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to broker-assisted “cashless” exercise procedures
and guidelines approved by the Board; (iv) by a “cashless exercise” in which Shares which would otherwise be delivered upon exercise of the Option may be used to satisfy the Purchase Price, in accordance with the following formula:

  

					
	X =	 	 Y (A-B)
	  	
		 	A	  	

 Where: 
 X = the
number of Shares to be issued to Optionee. 
 Y = the number of Shares purchasable under the amount of the Option being exercised 

A = the per Share Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 20 below) 
 B = the per Share Exercise Price of the Option 
 or (v) by combining the above methods.

 (c) Issuance and Delivery of Shares. As soon as practicable following receipt of such notice and payment, the
Corporation shall notify the Optionee of any payment required under subsection (d) below. The Corporation shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the Shares to the Optionee as soon as practicable after the Optionee has made any payment
required under subsection (d) below. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option will be issued only in the name of Optionee and may not be transferred into the name of any agent of or nominee for Optionee until such time as Optionee
has complied with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Withholding Obligation. Issuance of Shares upon exercise of
the Option shall be subject to the condition that the Optionee shall pay to the Corporation, in addition to the Purchase Price, the minimum amount the Corporation is required by law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state
or local, domestic or foreign, to withhold in connection with such exercise of the Option, if any. In lieu of the payment specified in this paragraph and unless the Board determines otherwise and subject to such conditions as may be established by
the Board, the Optionee may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Corporation withhold shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum tax required to be withheld. 

  
 2 

 (e) Deferral of Issuance of Shares. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, at any time specified herein for the issuance of Shares to Optionee, any law, or any regulation or requirement of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over such matter
shall require either the Corporation or Optionee to take any action in connection with the Shares then to be issued, the issuance of such Shares shall be deferred until such action shall have been taken; the Corporation shall be under no obligation
to take such action; and the Corporation shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of the non-issuance of such shares, except to refund to Optionee any consideration tendered in respect of the Purchase Price. 

(f) Stop Transfer Instructions. The Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any Shares (or other
securities) subject to any restriction set forth in this Agreement until the restriction has been satisfied or terminates. 
 6.
Restrictions on Transfer of Option  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b), (c) and
(d) below, the Option may not be sold, exchanged, delivered, assigned, bequeathed or gifted, pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered, transferred or permitted to be transferred, or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of law (including, without limitation, the laws of bankruptcy, intestacy, descent and distribution or succession) or on an absolute or contingent basis. For purposes of this Section, any reference to Optionee shall
(when applicable) be deemed to be and include references to Optionee’s estate, executors or administrators, personal or legal representatives and transferees (direct or indirect). 

(b) If permitted by the Board, Optionee may transfer this Option to members of his or her Immediate Family (as defined below), to one or
more trusts for the benefit of such Immediate Family members, to one or more partnerships where such Immediate Family members are the only partners, or to one or more limited liability companies (or similar entities) where such Immediate Family
members are the only members or beneficial owners of the entity, if (i) the Optionee does not receive any consideration in any form whatsoever for such transfer, (ii) such transfer is permitted under applicable tax laws, and (iii) if
the Optionee is an “Insider,” such transfer is permitted under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes hereof, “Immediate Family” means the Optionee and the Optionee’s spouse, children and
grandchildren. 
 (c) In the event of Optionee’s death, the Option may be transferred to any executor, administrator,
personal or legal representative, legatee, heir or distributee of the estate of Optionee. 
 (d) In the event of Optionee’s
divorce, Optionee may transfer some or all of the Option to his or her former spouse incident to Optionee’s divorce from the former spouse. 
 (e) As a condition precedent to the transfer of the Option, each and every prospective transferee shall (i) provide or cause to be provided to the Corporation, at its request, sufficient evidence of
the legal right and authority of such prospective transferee to have the Option so transferred and (ii) comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Option so transferred pursuant to this Section shall continue to be subject to the same
terms and conditions in the hands of the transferee as were applicable to said Option immediately prior to the transfer thereof, and any reference in this Agreement to the performance of services for the Corporation by the Optionee shall continue to
refer to the performance by the transferring Optionee. 
 7. Rights Prior to Exercise  

Optionee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a shareholder of the Corporation with respect to any Shares as to which this Option
shall not have been exercised and payment made as hereby provided and a stock certificate for such Shares actually issued to Optionee. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such
issuance. 
 8. Employment of Optionee  
 Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as constituting a commitment, guarantee, agreement or understanding of any kind or nature that the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof shall
continue to employ Optionee or otherwise retain his/her services, nor shall this Agreement affect in any way the right of the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment or other service of Optionee at any time and
for any reason. By Optionee’s execution of this Agreement, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that Optionee’s employment or other service to the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof is “at will”, unless Optionee has
an agreement with the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof that expressly provides to the contrary (in which case such agreement shall govern the termination of Optionee’s employment or service relationship). 

  
 3 

 9. Burden and Benefit  

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any assignee or successor in interest to the Corporation, whether by
merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets. 
 (b) This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Optionee and his or her legal representative and any permitted transferee thereof by will, the applicable laws of descent and distribution, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 10. Notices  
 Any and all notices under this Agreement shall be in writing, and sent by hand delivery or by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid), in the case of the
Corporation, to its principal executive offices to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer, and, in the case of Optionee, to Optionee’s address as shown on the Corporation’s records. 

11. Specific Performance  
 Strict compliance by Optionee shall be required with each and every provision of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Shares are unique, that Optionee’s failure to perform the
obligations provided by this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to the Corporation and that specific performance of Optionee’s obligations may be obtained by suit in equity. 
 12. Entire Agreement  
 The parties hereto agree that this Agreement
sets forth all of the promises, agreements, conditions, understandings, warranties, and representations between the parties with respect to the Option and Shares and that there are no promises, agreements, conditions, understandings, warranties, or
representations, oral or written, express or implied between the parties with respect to the Option and Shares other than as set forth in this Agreement. Any modifications or any waiver of any provision contained in this Agreement shall not be valid
unless made in writing and signed by the person or persons sought to be bound by such waiver or modifications. 
 13. Severability 

 The provisions of the Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions, and any partially unenforceable provision to the extent enforceable in any jurisdiction, shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable. 

14. Waiver  
 The
waiver by the Corporation of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Optionee shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Optionee. 
 15. Adjustments 
 The number of Shares subject to this Option and the
Exercise Price of this Option shall be adjusted proportionally to give effect to any subdivisions or combinations of the Corporation’s common stock, stock dividends and other distributions, reclassifications or similar events affecting the
Corporation’s common stock from time to time after the date hereof. 

  
 4 

 16. Authority of Board  

All determinations made by the Board with respect to the interpretation, construction and application of any provision of this Agreement
shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. 
 17. Covenants and Representations of Optionee  

Optionee represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the Corporation as follows: 

(a) Optionee has not relied upon the Corporation with respect to any tax consequences related to the grant or exercise of this Option, or
the disposition of Shares purchased pursuant to its exercise. Optionee acknowledges that, as a result of the grant and/or exercise of the Option, Optionee may incur a substantial tax liability. Optionee assumes full responsibility for all such
consequences and the filing of all tax returns and elections Optionee may be required or find desirable to file in connection therewith. 
 (b) Optionee will not distribute or resell any Shares (or other securities) issuable upon exercise of the Option granted hereby in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation. Optionee shall comply
with all provisions of the Corporation’s policies regulating the purchase and sale of the Corporation’s securities, as in effect from time to time. 
 (c) The agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made by Optionee herein with respect to the Option shall also extend to and apply to all of the Shares issued to Optionee from time to time
pursuant to exercise of the Option. Acceptance by Optionee of any certificate representing Shares shall constitute a confirmation by Optionee that all such agreements, representations, warranties and covenants made herein continue to be true and
correct at that time. 
 18. Limitation of Liability  
 The liability of the Corporation under this Agreement for the Option and the Shares is limited to the obligations set forth herein with respect thereto, and nothing herein contained shall be interpreted
as imposing any liability in favor of the Optionee or any others with respect to any loss, cost or expense which Optionee or any others may incur in connection with or arising out of any transaction involving the Option or any of the Shares.

 19. Governing Law  
 This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. 

 

	20.	Definitions  

 (a)
“Cause” shall have the same meaning as “cause” or “for cause” set forth in any employment, consulting, or other agreement for the performance of services between Optionee and the Corporation or any
consolidated subsidiary thereof or, in the absence of any such agreement or any such definition in such agreement, such term shall mean (i) the failure by Optionee to perform, in a reasonable manner, his/her duties as assigned by the
Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof, (ii) any violation or breach by Optionee of his/her employment, consulting or other similar agreement with the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof, if any, (iii) any
violation or breach by Optionee of any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and/or other similar agreement with the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof, including, without limitation, Section 21 of this Agreement,
(iv) any act by Optionee of dishonesty or bad faith with respect to the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof, (v) use of alcohol, drugs or other similar substances in a manner that adversely affects Optionee’s work
performance, or (vi) the commission by Optionee of any act, misdemeanor, or crime reflecting unfavorably upon Optionee or the Corporation or any consolidated subsidiary thereof. The good faith determination by the Board of whether Optionee was
Terminated by the Corporation for “Cause” shall be final and binding for all purposes hereunder. 
 (b)
“Disability” shall mean a disability, whether temporary or permanent, partial or total, as determined by the Board. 

  
 5 

 (c) “Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of a share
of the Company’s common stock determined as follows: 
 (a) if such common stock is then quoted on the Nasdaq market, its
last reported sale price on the Nasdaq market or, if no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the closing bid and asked prices; 
 (b) if such common stock is publicly traded and is then listed on a national securities exchange, the last reported sale price or, if no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices on the principal national securities exchange on which the common stock is listed or admitted to trading; 
 (c) if such common stock is publicly traded but is not quoted on a Nasdaq market nor listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on
such date, as reported by a nationally recognized reporting service, for the over-the-counter market; or 
 (d) if none of the
foregoing is applicable, by the Board in good faith. 
 (c) “Termination of Service” means the discontinuance of the
Optionee’s service relationship with the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including but not limited to service as an employee of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, as a non-employee member of the board of directors of the Corporation, or as
a consultant or advisor to the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Except to the extent provided otherwise in an agreement or determined otherwise by the Board, a Termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred if the capacity in which the
Optionee provides service to the Corporation changes (for example, a change from consultant status to employee status or vice versa) or if the Optionee transfers among the various entities constituting the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, so long
as there is no interruption in the provision of service by the Optionee to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Optionee shall not be deemed to have incurred a Termination of Service if the Optionee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona
fide leave of absence approved by the Corporation of 180 days or fewer (or any longer period during which the Optionee is guaranteed reemployment by statute or contract.) In the event Optionee’s leave of absence exceeds this period, he or she
will be deemed to have incurred a Termination of Service on the day following the expiration date of such period. For the avoidance of doubt and ambiguity, a Termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred if the Optionee ceases to be
remunerated by the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries for his service relationship with all or any of them so long as the Optionee thereafter continues to provide services in continuance of such service relationship at the direction of the
Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries. 
 21. Forfeiture in the Event of Competition and/or Solicitation or other Detrimental
Acts 
 In return for granting the Option to Optionee, Optionee agrees to the following restrictions: 

 

	 	(a)	Optionee expressly agrees and covenants that during the Restricted Period (as defined below), Optionee shall not (i) own, manage, control, participate in, consult
with, become employed by or otherwise render services to any Competitive Business (as defined below) in the Territory (as defined below), except that it shall not be considered a violation of this clause for the Optionee to be a passive owner of not
more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class of any corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Optionee has no active participation in the business of such corporation; 

(ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, client or other business relation of the Corporation or its affiliates to cease
doing business with the Corporation or its affiliates if such cessation could reasonably be expected to result in material harm to the Corporation;
 (iii) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Corporation or its affiliates to leave the employ of the Corporation or its affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the
Corporation or its affiliates and any person employed by them; or 
 (b) Optionee expressly agrees and covenants that Optionee
will not, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, directly or indirectly, disclose or use at any time before or after Optionee’s Termination of Service any Confidential Information (as defined below) of which Optionee is or
becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by Optionee, except to the extent such disclosure or use is directly related to and appropriate in connection with Optionee’s performance of duties assigned to Optionee by the
Corporation or its affiliates. Under all circumstances and at all times, Optionee will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information in his or her possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

  
 6 

 (c) If the Board determines that Optionee has violated any provisions of this
Section 21 or that Optionee’s service or employment, as applicable, has been terminated for Cause, then Optionee agrees and covenants that: 
 (i) Optionee shall automatically forfeit any rights Optionee may have with respect to the Option as of the date of such determination; and

(ii) if Optionee has exercised all or any part of the Option within the twelve-month period immediately preceding a violation of this
Section 21 or termination of Optionee’s employment for Cause, upon the Corporation’s demand, Optionee shall immediately deliver to the Corporation (A) any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, if the Optionee still owns
the Shares (at which time the Corporation will deliver to the Optionee an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Shares), or (B) if the Optionee no longer owns the Shares, an amount equal to the Gain (as defined below) realized by Optionee
upon such exercise. For the purposes herein, “Gain” shall be equal to the disposition price per Shares of any Shares sold or disposed of, multiplied by the number of Shares sold or disposed of, minus the Exercise Price paid for the Shares,
and less any taxes paid which are not refundable or for which the Optionee does not otherwise receive a tax credit or other form of reimbursement. 
 (d) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 21, the following definitions shall apply: 
 (i) “Competitive Business” means any business listed on Exhibit A hereto.
 (ii) “Confidential Information” means information that is not generally known to the public and that was or is used, developed or obtained by the Corporation or its affiliates in
connection with the business of the Corporation or its affiliates and which constitutes trade secrets or information which they have attempted to protect, which may include, but is not limited to, trade “know-how,” customer information,
supplier information, cost and pricing information, marketing and sales techniques, strategies and programs, computer programs and software and financial information. It shall not include information (a) required to be disclosed by court or
administrative order; (b) lawfully obtainable from other sources or which is in the public domain through no fault of Optionee; or (c) the disclosure of which is consented to in writing by the Corporation. 

(iii) “Territory” means: 
 (A) The entire United States and any other country where the Corporation or any of its consolidated subsidiaries, joint venturers, franchisees or affiliates has operated a retail facility at which the
Corporation’s products have been sold at any time in the one-year period ending on the last day of Optionee’s employment with the Corporation or its affiliates;
 (B) In the event that the preceding clause shall be determined by judicial action to define too broad a territory to be enforceable, then “Territory” shall mean the entire United States;

 (C) In the event that the preceding clauses shall be determined by judicial action to define too broad a territory to be
enforceable, then “Territory” shall mean the states in the United States where the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, joint venturers, franchisees or affiliates has operated a retail facility at which the Corporation’s products
have been sold at any time in the one-year period ending on the last day of Optionee’s employment with Corporation or its affiliates;
 (D) In the event that the preceding clauses shall be determined by judicial action to define too broad a territory to be enforceable, then “Territory” shall mean the area that includes all of
the areas that are within a 50-mile radius of any retail store location in the United States at which the Corporation’s products have been sold at any time in the one-year period ending on the last day of Optionee’s employment with the
Corporation or its affiliates; and 
 (E) In the event that the preceding clauses shall be determined by judicial action to
define too broad a territory to be enforceable, then “Territory” shall mean the entire state of Florida. 

  
 7 

 (e) The Corporation may require Optionee, in connection with the exercise of the Option, to
certify in a manner acceptable to the Corporation that Optionee has not violated the terms of this Section 21 and may decline to give effect to such exercise if Optionee fails so to certify. If Optionee is required to repay any Option Gain to
the Corporation pursuant to this Section 21, Optionee shall pay such amount in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Corporation may require, and the Corporation shall be entitled to withhold or set-off against any other amount
owed to Optionee by the Corporation or any of its affiliates (other than any amount owed to Optionee under any retirement plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code up to any amount sufficient to satisfy any unpaid
obligation of Optionee under this Section 21. 
 (f) Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the period, scope and geographic
areas of restriction imposed upon Optionee by the provisions of Section 21 are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the Corporation. In the event that any part of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Section 21, is held to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining parts of Section 21 and this Agreement shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid portions were not a part of this Agreement. If any one
of the provisions in this Section 21 is held to be excessively broad as to period, scope and geographic areas, any such provision shall be construed by limiting it to the extent necessary to be enforceable under applicable law. 

(g) Optionee acknowledges that breach by Optionee of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the Corporation and that, in the
event of such breach, the Corporation shall have, in addition to monetary damages and other remedies at law, the right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent violations of Optionee’s obligations hereunder.

 22. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so
this Agreement (including the Option) either shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or shall comply with the requirements of such provision. Furthermore, the Corporation and its respective officers, directors,
employees or agents make no guarantee that this Agreement complies with, or is exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of this Agreement to comply with, or be
exempt from, the provisions of Code Section 409A. The parties hereto agree to make such amendments from time to time to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as are necessary to ensure that this Agreement complies with the terms of and in
a manner permitted by Section 409A of the Code and any regulation or other official guidance promulgated thereunder
