Company, to request the Company to register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act all or part of the Registrable Securities designated by such Holders (a “Demand Registration”). Upon receipt of any

 (b) Number of Demand Registrations. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, Holders shall be entitled to have three Demand Registrations effected. A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to be effected and shall not count as a Demand Registration of any Person (i) if a Registration Statement with
respect thereto shall not have become effective under the Securities Act and remained effective (A) for at least 180 days (excluding any Interruption Period or Delay Period) in the case of a Demand Registration that is not on a Form S-3 or
other comparable form or (B) for at least two years (excluding any Interruption Period or Delay Period) in the case of a Demand Registration on Form S-3 or other comparable form, or until the completion of the distribution of the Registrable
Securities thereunder, whichever is earlier (including, without limitation, because of withdrawal of such Registration Statement by the Holders pursuant to Section 2(f) hereunder), (ii) if, after it has become effective, such
registration is interfered with for any reason by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or any governmental authority, or as a result of the initiation of any proceeding for such stop order by the Commission
through no fault of the Holders and the result of such interference is to prevent the Holders from disposing of such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in accordance with the intended methods of disposition, or (iii) if the conditions
to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any underwritten offering shall not be satisfied or waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in number of the Registrable Securities
to be included in such Demand Registration, other than as a result of any breach by the Holders or any underwriter of its obligations thereunder or hereunder. 
 (c) Registration Statement. Subject to paragraph (a) above, as soon as practicable, but in any event within 45 days of the date on which the Company first receives one or more Demand Notices
pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, the Company shall file with the Commission a Registration Statement on the appropriate form for the registration and sale of the total number of Registrable Securities specified in such Demand Notice,
together with the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by other Holders, in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution specified by the Holders in such Demand Notice. The Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable. 
 (d) Amendments; Supplements. Subject to Section 4(a), upon the occurrence of any event that would cause the Registration Statement (A) to contain a material misstatement or
omission or (B) to be not effective and usable for resale of Registrable Securities during the period that such Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable, the Company shall file an amendment to the Registration Statement as
soon as reasonably practicable if the Registration Statement is not on Form S-3 or another comparable form and such misstatement or omission is not corrected as soon as reasonably practicable by incorporation by reference, in the case of clause (A),
correcting any such misstatement or omission and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and such Registration Statement to become usable as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter. 
 (e) Effectiveness. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to keep any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2 continuously effective and usable for the sale of Registrable Securities until the earlier of (i) (a) in the case of a Demand Registration for delayed or continuous
offerings of Registrable Securities filed on Form S-3 or another comparable form, two years after the date on which the Commission declares such 

  
 5 

 
Registration Statement effective (excluding any Interruption Period or Delay Period) or (b) in the case of a Demand Registration that is not on Form S-3 or another comparable form, 180 days
from the date on which the Commission declares such Registration Statement effective (excluding any Interruption Period or Delay Period) and (ii) the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities. 

(f) Holders Withdrawal. Holders of a majority in number of the Registrable Securities to be included in a Demand Registration
pursuant to this Section 2 may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement in respect thereof, revoke such request by providing a written notice to the Company to such effect. 

(g) Preemption of Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after receiving a written request
for a Demand Registration, the Company may elect to effect an underwritten primary registration in lieu of the Demand Registration if the Company’s Board of Directors believes that such primary registration would be in the best interests of the
Company. If the Company so elects to effect a primary registration, the Company shall give prompt written notice (which shall be given not later than 20 days after the date of the Demand Notice) to all Holders of its intention to effect such a
registration and shall afford the Holders the rights contained in Section 3 with respect to Piggyback Registrations. In the event that the Company so elects to effect a primary registration after receiving a request for a Demand
Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, the request for a Demand Registration shall be deemed to have
been withdrawn and such primary registration shall not be deemed to be a Demand Registration. 
 (h) Priority on Demand
Registrations. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and includes securities for sale by the Company, and the managing underwriter (such underwriter to be chosen by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in
such registration, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval) advises the Company, in writing, that, in its good faith judgment, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in
such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company will include in any such registration the maximum number of shares that the managing underwriter advises the Company can be sold in such
offering allocated as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the initiating Holders and securities of other Holders of Registrable Securities and holders of Registrable Securities (as
defined in the DB Holdings Registration Rights Agreement), with all such securities to be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed among such Holders) based on the amount of securities requested to be included
therein and (ii) second, to the extent that any other securities may be included without exceeding the limitations recommended by the underwriter as aforesaid, the securities that the Company proposes to sell together with such additional
securities to be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed upon among the Company and such other holders) based on the amount of securities requested to be included therein. If the initiating Holders are not allowed
to register all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holders because of allocations required by this section, such initiating Holders shall not be deemed to have exercised a Demand Registration for purposes of
Section 2(b).

 Section 3. Piggyback Registrations. 

(a) Right to Piggyback Registrations. Whenever the Company or another party having registration rights proposes that the Company
register any of the Company’s equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 relating solely to a transaction described in Rule 145 of the Securities Act or a registration on Form S-8 or any successor forms
thereto), whether or not for sale for the Company’s own account, the Company will give prompt written notice of such proposed filing to all Holders at least 15 days before the anticipated filing date. Such notice shall offer such Holders the
opportunity to register such amount of Registrable Securities as they shall request (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 3(b) hereof, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 days after such notice has been given by the Company to the Holders. If the Registration Statement relating to the Piggyback
Registration is for an underwritten offering, such Registrable Securities shall be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters. Each Holder shall be permitted to
withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective time of such Piggyback Registration. 
 (b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing and the managing underwriters advise
the party or parties initiating such offering in writing (a copy of which writing shall be provided to the Holders) that in their good faith judgment the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can
be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then any such registration shall include the maximum number of shares that such managing underwriters advise can be sold in such offering
allocated as follows: (x) if the Company has initiated such offering, (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, to the extent that any other securities may be included without exceeding the limitations
recommended by the underwriters as aforesaid, (A) the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration by the Holders and the holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the DB Registration Rights Agreement), with all such
additional securities to be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed among the Holders and such other holders), based on the amount of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included therein, and
then, if additional securities may be included (B) to such additional securities on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed among them), (y) if a holder of Registrable Securities (as defined in the DB Holdings
Registration Rights Agreement) has initiated such offering, (i) first, the securities the holders under the DB Registration Rights Agreement propose to sell together with the securities the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder propose to
sell on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed upon among such holders and the Holders), based on the amount of securities requested to be included therein and (ii) second, to the extent that any other securities may be
included without exceeding the limitations recommended by the underwriters as aforesaid, all such other securities on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed upon among such other holders) based on the amount of securities
requested to be included therein, and (z) if a party other than the Company or a holder under the DB Holdings Registration Rights Agreement initiated such offering, securities proposed to be sold by the Company, and the Registrable Securities
to be included in such registration by the Holders, with such additional securities to be included on a pro rata basis (or in such other proportion mutually agreed among the Company, the Holders and such other holders), based on the amount of
Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included therein.

 Section 4. Obligations of the Company. 

(a) Delay Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to delay the filing of any Registration Statement
otherwise required to be prepared and filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 2 or 3, or to suspend the use of any Registration Statement, for a period not in excess of 60 consecutive calendar days (a “Delay Period”)
if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company by written resolution determines that filing or maintaining the effectiveness of such Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the holders of its capital stock in
relation to any material acquisition or disposition, financing or other corporate transaction or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company by written resolution determines in good faith that the filing of a Registration Statement or
maintaining the effectiveness of a current Registration Statement would require disclosure of material information that the Company has a valid business purpose for retaining as confidential at such time. The Company shall not be entitled to
exercise a Delay Period more than one time in any 12-month period. 
 (b) Registration Procedures. Whenever the Company is
required to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible: 
 (1) prepare and
file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities as prescribed by Sections 2 or 3 on a form available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become and remain effective within the time periods and otherwise as provided herein; 

(2) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) to the Registration Statement and such
supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective within the time periods and otherwise as provided herein and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein; 
 (3) furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement and to each underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and post-effective amendment thereto, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary

 8 

 
supplement to such Prospectus and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 of the Securities Act), in each case including all exhibits, and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or to be disposed of by such underwriter (the Company hereby consenting to the use in accordance with all applicable Law of each such Registration
Statement (or amendment or post-effective amendment thereto) and each such Prospectus (or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) by each such Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus); 
 (4) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify
and, if applicable, to cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of, the Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder or managing underwriters (if any) shall reasonably request, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective as provided herein and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities covered
by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or
(ii) consent to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not so subject; 
 (5) cause
all such Registrable Securities to be listed or quoted (as the case may be) on each national securities exchange or other securities market on which securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities are then listed or quoted; 

(6) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities not
later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 
 (7) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission, and make available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45
days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (or in each case within such extended period of time as may be permitted by the Commission for filing the applicable report
with the Commission) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in an underwritten offering or (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day
of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement; 
 (8) use its reasonable best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any
jurisdiction, and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness 

  
 9 

 
of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use
its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment; 
 (9) obtain
“cold comfort” letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders) from the independent certified public accountants
of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included
in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, if any, and each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort”
letters in connection with underwritten offerings and such other matters as the underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being included in the registration may reasonably request; 

(10) obtain opinions of independent counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance)

the matters customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel requested in underwritten offerings, such as the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and such other matters as may be requested by such counsel and underwriters, if any;

 (11) promptly notify the selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, and confirm such notice in writing, when a
Prospectus or any supplement or post-effective amendment to such Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (i) of any request by the
Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings by any Person for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities for offer or sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction, or the contemplation,
initiation or threatening, of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event or the existence of any facts that make any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that
require the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of any Prospectus), not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to the selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to suspend the use
of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); 

  
 10 

 (12) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or a Holder of Registrable
Securities being sold, promptly incorporate in a prospectus, supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request to
be included therein relating to the sale of the Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of shares of Registrable Securities being sold to underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by
such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and make all required filings of such prospectus, supplement or post-effective amendment promptly following
notification of the matters to be incorporated in such supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (13) if requested, furnish to
each selling Holder of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter, without charge, at least one signed copy of the Registration Statement; 
 (14) as promptly as practicable upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(b)(11)(iv) above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold hereunder, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; and 
 (15) if such offering is an underwritten offering, enter into such agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other appropriate and reasonable actions requested by the Holders owning a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith
or by the managing underwriters (including cooperating in reasonable marketing efforts, including in connection with any Demand Registration, participation by senior executives of the Company in any “roadshow” or similar meeting with
potential investors) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, provide indemnification provisions and procedures substantially to the effect set forth in Section 6 hereof
with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder. 

Each Holder agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening
of any event of the kind described in Section 4(b)(11), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 4(b)(14), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus (such period during which disposition is discontinued being an “Interruption Period”), and, if so directed by the
Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 Section 5. Registration Expenses. 

(a) Expenses Payable by the Company. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred with respect to the registration or attempted
registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement as provided herein. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration, qualification and filing fees (including, without
limitation, (A) fees with respect to compliance with the rules and regulation of the Commission, (B) fees with respect to filings required to be made with the national securities exchange or national market system on which the Common Stock
is then traded or quoted and (C) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or blue sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company or the underwriters, or both, in connection with blue sky
qualifications of Registrable Securities)), (ii) messenger and delivery expenses, word processing, duplicating and printing expenses (including without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible
for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, printing preliminary prospectuses, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, including those delivered to or for the account of the Holders and provided in this Agreement, and blue sky memoranda),
(iii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of all independent certificated public accountants for the Company (including, without limitation, the expense of any “comfort letters” required
by or incident to such performance), (v) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Company (including without limitation, expenses incurred by the Company, its officers, directors, and employees performing legal or accounting duties or preparing or
participating in “roadshow” presentations or of any public relations, investor relations or other consultants or advisors retained by the Company in connection with any roadshow, including travel and lodging expenses of such roadshows),
(vi) fees and expenses incurred in connection with the quotation or listing of shares of Common Stock on any national securities exchange or other securities market, and (vii) reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of counsel for all
selling Holders (which shall be chosen by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering). 

(b) Expenses Payable by the Holders. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions or placement fees of
underwriters or broker’s commissions incurred in connection with the sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities for or on behalf of such Holder’s account. 
 Section 6. Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, each Affiliate of a Holder and each director, officer, employee, manager, stockholder, partner, member, counsel, agent or representative of such Holder and its
Affiliates and each Person who controls any such Person (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (collectively, “Holder Indemnified Parties”) against, and
hold it and them harmless from, all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions, proceedings, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and expenses, including expenses of investigation
and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, caused by or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or 

  
 12 

 
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (a “Misstatement/Omission”), or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, except that the Company shall not be liable insofar as such Misstatement/Omission or violation is
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable for a Holder’s failure to deliver or cause to be
delivered (to the extent such delivery is required under the Securities Act) the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, furnished to it by the Company on a timely basis at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities
Act to the person claiming a Misstatement/Omission if such Misstatement/Omission was corrected in such Prospectus. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and
similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders. This indemnity shall be in addition to any other indemnification arrangements to which the Company may otherwise be party. 

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such
Holder agrees to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company and each director and officer of the Company and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against, and hold it harmless from, any Losses arising out of or based upon (i) any Misstatement/Omission contained in the Registration Statement, if and to the extent that such Misstatement/Omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Holder for use therein, or (ii) the failure by such Holder to deliver or cause to be delivered (to the extent such delivery is required under the Securities
Act) the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, furnished to it by the Company on a timely basis at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act to the person claiming a Misstatement/Omission if such
Misstatement/Omission was corrected in such Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to indemnify will be individual (several and not joint) to each Holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds (net of payment of all
expenses) received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any action, claim or proceeding shall be brought against any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party shall promptly
notify each indemnifying party in writing, and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of one counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the defense thereof. The failure to so notify such indemnifying party shall relieve such indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations to such indemnified party to the extent that such failure to notify materially prejudiced
such indemnifying party but not from any liability that it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise. Each indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action, claim or proceeding and
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall 

  
 13 

 
be at the expense of each indemnified party unless: (i) such indemnifying party has agreed to pay such expenses; (ii) such indemnifying party has failed promptly to assume the defense
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; or (iii) the named parties to any such action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such indemnified party and such indemnifying party or an
Affiliate or controlling person of such indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition
to those available to such indemnifying party or such Affiliate or controlling person or (y) a conflict of interest may exist if such counsel represents such indemnified party and such indemnifying party or its Affiliate or controlling person;
provided, however, that such indemnifying party 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 responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel), which counsel shall be designated by such indemnified party or, in the event that such
indemnified party is a Holder Indemnified Party, by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the subject Registration Statement. 
 No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Each indemnifying party agrees that it will not,
without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, consent to entry of any judgment or settle or compromise any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
unless the foregoing contains an unconditional release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties, of the indemnified parties from all liability and obligation arising therefrom. The indemnifying party’s liability
to any such indemnified party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any other indemnified party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder. 
 (d) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will (i) remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or
any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party, (ii) survive the transfer of securities and (iii) survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Right to Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party under Section 6(a)
or Section 6(b) above in respect of any Losses referred to in such Sections, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have an obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other, in connection with the Misstatement/Omission or violation which resulted in such Losses, taking into account
any other relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c) above, any legal or other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation, lawsuit or legal or administrative action or proceeding. 
 The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the relevant Misstatement/Omission or violation
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holder and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Misstatement/Omission or violation. 

  
 14 

 The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 6(e), a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) the amount (net of payment of all expenses) at which the securities that were sold by such Holder and distributed to the
public were offered to the public exceeds (ii) the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such Misstatement/Omission or violation. 

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. 
 Section 7. Rules 144 and 144A.
The Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (including but not limited to the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule
144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make publicly available
other information) and will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 

Section 8. Underwritten Registrations. 
 (a) No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, customary indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that, no Holder included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and
warranties regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution. 
 (b) If any of the Registrable
Securities covered by any Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will be selected by, and the underwriting arrangements
with respect thereto will be approved by, the Company; provided, however, that such investment bankers and managers and underwriting arrangements must be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of the majority of Registrable Securities to be
included in such offering. 

  
 15 

 Section 9. Covenants of Holders. Each of the Holders hereby agrees (a) to
cooperate with the Company and to furnish to the Company all such information regarding such Holder, its ownership of Registrable Securities and the disposition of such securities in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and
any filings with any state securities commissions as the Company may reasonably request, (b) to the extent required by the Securities Act, to deliver or cause delivery of the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, any amendment or
supplement thereto, to any purchaser of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement from the Holder and (c) if requested by the Company, to notify the Company of any sale of Registrable Securities by such Holder.

 Section 10. Board and Information Rights 
 (a) Board Composition. The parties agree that so long as Gulfport beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 13d-3”)) more
than 10% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock, (i) the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed through a Board consisting of up to seven Directors, of which three Directors shall be Independent Directors and
(ii) Gulfport shall have the right to designate one Director (“Gulfport Director”). For purposes of this Agreement, in determining the percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Gulfport, only shares of
Common Stock then issued and outstanding shall be included in the denominator and any Equity Right that has not then been exercised, converted or exchanged shall be excluded from the denominator regardless of the application of the beneficial
ownership rules of Rule 13d-3. 
 (b) Company Action to Nominate and Elect the Gulfport Director. Subject to
Section 10(g), the Company shall cause the initial Gulfport Director designated in accordance with Section 10(a) to be appointed to the Board prior to the completion of the Common Stock Offering and thereafter to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Gulfport Director to be nominated for election to the Board at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected (or by stockholder consents in lieu of a meeting,
if applicable), shall solicit proxies (or stockholder consents in lieu of a meeting, if applicable) in favor thereof, and at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which Directors are to be elected, shall recommend that the
Company’s stockholders elect to the Board each such individual nominated for election at such annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (or stockholder consents in lieu of a meeting, if applicable). So long as Gulfport has the right to
designate a Gulfport Director under this Agreement, if for any reason the Gulfport Director is not elected to the Board by the Company’s stockholders, Gulfport will be entitled to the Board Advisor rights set forth in Section 10(c).

 (c) Board Advisor Rights. 
 (1) So long as Gulfport has the right to designate a Gulfport Director under this Agreement and there is no Gulfport Director in office, Gulfport shall have the right to appoint one individual as an
advisor to the Board (a “Board Advisor”). The Board Advisor shall be entitled to attend meetings of the Board and any meetings of any committee of the Board and 

  
 16 

 
to receive all information provided to the members of the Board and any committee thereof (including minutes of previous meetings of the Board and any committee thereof). The Board Advisor shall
advise and counsel the Board on the business and operations of the Company as requested by the Board. The Board Advisor is not, and shall not have the duties and responsibilities of, a Director of the Company, and the terms “director” or
“member of the Board” as used in this Agreement shall not be deemed to mean or include the Board Advisor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board Advisor shall not be entitled to vote on any matter presented for action
by the Board. The Board Advisor may be given such designations (including without limitation “advisory director”) as the Board may from time to time determine. For the avoidance of doubt, no Board Advisor shall have fiduciary obligations
to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, but shall be subject to all applicable securities Laws and to the confidentiality obligations applicable to Gulfport under Section 10(k)(2). 

(2) Gulfport shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to appoint the Board Advisor and to remove the Board Advisor, as well as the
right, in its sole discretion, to fill vacancies created by reason of the death, removal or resignation thereof. Gulfport shall have the right at any time to remove (with or without cause) the Board Advisor. In the event there is a vacancy in the
Board Advisor position at any time and for any reason (whether as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of the Board Advisor), Gulfport shall have the right to designate a different individual to replace such Board
Advisor. 
 (d) Gulfport Designation, Removal and Vacancies. In the event a vacancy is created on the Board of the
Gulfport Director at any time that Gulfport has the right to designate a Gulfport Director under this Agreement (whether as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal or otherwise), Gulfport shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to designate a different individual to replace such Gulfport Director and the Company shall nominate such Gulfport Director for election to the Board as provided in Section 10(b). 

(e) Committees. For so long as Gulfport has the right to designate a Gulfport Director, any committee composed of Directors shall
consist of at least one Gulfport Director provided that such Gulfport Director is “independent” and otherwise satisfies all requirements under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Marketplace Rules to serve on such
committee. 
 (f) Election Not to Exercise Designation Rights. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10 to the
contrary, this Section 10 confers upon Gulfport the right, but not the obligation, to designate the Gulfport Director, and Gulfport may, at its option, elect not to exercise any such right to designate the Gulfport Director. 

(g) Qualifications and Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each nominee for election
to the Board designated by Gulfport shall, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, (A) have the requisite skill and experience to serve as a director of a publicly traded company, and (B) not be prohibited or disqualified from serving as
a director of the Company pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Marketplace Rules or by applicable Law. The Board may adopt additional standards of skill and experience desired of potential candidates for nomination to
the Board of Directors, which will be reflected in a charter of a committee of the Board or other similar document. 

  
 17 

 
Gulfport shall timely provide the Company with accurate and complete information relating to its designee that may be required to be disclosed by the Company under the Exchange Act. In addition,
at the Company’s request, Gulfport shall cause its designee to complete and execute the Company’s standard Director and Officer Questionnaire prior to being admitted to the Board or any committee thereof or standing for reelection at an
annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders or at such other time as may be requested by the Company. 
 (h) Director
Insurance and Indemnification. The Company will obtain and maintain directors’ liability insurance and will at all times exercise the powers granted to it by its Organizational Documents, and by applicable Law to indemnify and hold harmless
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law present or former directors and officers of the Company against any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation made against them arising from their service in such
capacities (or service in such capacities for another enterprise at the request of the Company). 
 (i) Expenses of
Directors. The Company will promptly reimburse the Gulfport Director or Board Advisor, to the extent not an employee of the Company, for all of his or her reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending each meeting of the Board or any
committee thereof consistent with the Company’s policies. 
 (j) Information Rights. In addition to, and without
limiting any rights that Gulfport may have with respect to inspection of the books and records of the Company under applicable Laws, the Company shall furnish to Gulfport, the following information, so long as Gulfport owns shares of Common Stock:

 (1) Annual Reports. As soon as available, and in any event within 50 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the
audited balance sheet of the Company as at the end of each such Fiscal Year and the audited statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for such year, accompanied by the certification of independent certified public
accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Board, to the effect that, except as set forth therein, such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with prior years and fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and changes in its cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the periods covered thereby. 

(2) Quarterly Reports. As soon as available, and in any event within 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, the balance
sheet of the Company at the end of such quarter and the statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for such quarter, all in reasonable detail and all prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, and
certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. 
 (3) Information Required as a Result of Stockholder’s Filing
Status. The Company acknowledges that Stockholder is a Large Accelerated Filer and agrees to cooperate, provide sufficient access and provide all information necessary for Stockholder to satisfy its financial reporting and Exchange Act reporting
obligations as a Large Accelerated Filer. In accordance therewith, upon a request in writing by Stockholder that it requires certain financial information related to the Company in connection with Stockholder’s filing obligations

  
 18 

 
under the Exchange Act, including, but not limited a request for the information included in or described in the annual or quarterly reports set forth in Sections 10(j)(1) and
10(j)(2) as well as supporting information and schedules, the Company shall respond with such requested information in a timely manner, but in any event no less than five (5) business days from receipt of the written request with the
information requested. If for any reason the Company does not have the requested information available to it, it will respond to the Stockholder in writing within two (2) business days from receipt of the written request specifying the reasons
for unavailability of the information and a date upon which it believes the information will be available. When such requested information becomes available, the Company shall promptly send it to the Stockholder. In addition, in the event that
Stockholder’s financial reporting and Exchange Act reporting obligations require it to audit or perform other accounting or review procedures with respect to the Company’s financials or any information included therein, the Company shall,
and shall cause its officers, Directors and employees to afford Stockholder and its representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, access at all reasonable times to its officers, employees, auditors, properties, offices,
plants and other facilities and to all books and records, necessary to perform any such audit or other accounting or review procedures. Such access and information shall be provided within the time period reasonably necessary to allow Stockholder to
conduct and complete its audit in a timely fashion and to timely include compliant financials in its Exchange Act reports and to timely file its Exchange Act reports. 
 (k) Inspection Rights. 
 (1) The Company shall, and shall cause its
officers, Directors and employees to afford Gulfport. for so long as Gulfport has the right to designate a Gulfport Director or has Board Advisor rights pursuant to Section 10(c), the opportunity to consult with its officers from time to time
regarding the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts as Gulfport may reasonably request upon reasonable notice. The right set forth in this Section 10(k) shall not, and is not intended to, limit any rights which Gulfport may have
with respect to the books and records of the Company, or to inspect its properties or discuss its affairs, finances and accounts under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated. 

(2) Gulfport agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose, other than to monitor its
investment in the Company, any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, unless such confidential information (A) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 10(k)(2) by Gulfport), (B) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Gulfport without use of the Company’s confidential information or (C) is or has been made known or disclosed to
Gulfport by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that Gulfport may disclose confidential information (a) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and
other professionals to the extent needed for their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company, (b) to any officer, director or employees of Gulfport in the ordinary course of business, or (c) as may otherwise be
required by law, provided that Gulfport takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure and subject, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) to each recipient’s obligation to maintain the confidentiality of
that information as if such recipient was a party hereto. 

  
 19 

 (3) The Company acknowledges that Gulfport is in the oil and gas business and therefore is
always reviewing information of many oil and gas companies and properties which compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company. Subject to its agreement to only use confidential information to monitor its investment in the Company, nothing
in this Agreement shall preclude or in any way restrict Gulfport from investing or participating in any particular enterprise whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company. 

Section 11. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with, adversely effects or violates the rights granted to
the Holders in this Agreement; it being understood that the granting of additional demand or piggyback registration rights with respect to capital stock of the Company shall not be deemed adverse to the rights granted to Holders hereunder so long as
they do not (x) reduce, except as set forth in this Agreement, the amount of Registrable Securities that any Holder may include in any registration contemplated in this Agreement or (y) restrict or otherwise limit the exercise by any
Holder of its rights hereunder. 
 (b) Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement will be
entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be
an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance or injunctive relief that a remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, any party may in its sole
discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this
Agreement. 
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior agreements, and neither it nor any part of it may in any way be altered, amended, extended, waived, discharged or terminated except by a written agreement that specifically references this
Agreement and the provisions to be so altered, amended, extended, waived, discharged or terminated is signed by each of the parties hereto and specifically states that it is intended to alter, amend, extend, waive, discharge or terminate this
agreement or a provision hereof. 
 (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except for the Board and information rights contained in Section 10 (which rights are non-transferable), the Holders may assign all rights under this Agreement;
provided, however, that no Holder may transfer or assign its rights hereunder unless such transferring Holder shall, prior to any such transfer, obtain from the transferee a joinder agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
deliver a copy of such joinder agreement to the Company and to the Holders. Only persons (other than the Stockholder hereto) that execute a joinder agreement shall be deemed to be Holders. The Company shall be given written notice by the
transferring Holder at the time of the transfer stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the Registrable Securities transferred, provided, that, failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such transfer or
assignment. 

  
 20 

 (e) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained
herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected, it being intended that the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of
more than one party, but each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 (g) Descriptive Headings: Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. The
use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation.

The IRS requires that we report the cost basis of certain shares acquired after January 1, 2011. If your shares were
covered by the legislation and you have sold or transferred the shares and requested a specific cost basis calculation method, we have processed as requested. If you did not specify a cost basis calculation method, we have defaulted to the first in,
first out (FIFO) method. Please visit our website or consult your tax advisor if you need additional information about cost basis. 
 If you do not keep in contact with us or do not have any activity in your account for the time periods specified by state law, your property could become subject to state unclaimed
property laws and transferred to the appropriate state.
