Holders”) may request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Common Stock (“Demand Registration”) at any time and from time to time, subject to the Lock-up Agreement signed by such Holder or Holders.

 Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any such request for Demand Registration, the Company shall give written
notice of such request to all other Holders of Registrable Common Stock, if any, and shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2(b) and 2(c) hereof, include in such registration all such Registrable Common Stock with respect to which the Company
has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. 
 (b) Priority on Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriters of a requested Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the shares of Registrable Common Stock
proposed to be included in any such registration exceeds the number of securities that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would materially
adversely affect the price per share of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration only the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock that, in the opinion of such managing
underwriters, can be sold. If the number of shares that can be sold is less than the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock proposed to be registered, the Company shall allocate the amount of Registrable Common Stock to be so sold

  
 - 3 -

 
among the Holders pro rata on the basis of Registrable Common Stock offered for such registration by each Holder electing to participate in such registration. If the number of shares that can be
sold, as determined by the managing underwriters, exceeds the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock proposed to be sold, such excess shall be allocated pro rata among the other holders of Common Stock, if any, desiring to participate in such
registration based on the amount of such Common Stock initially requested to be registered by such holders or as such holders may otherwise agree. 
 (c) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six (6) months after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration
or a previous registration under which the Initiating Holders had piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3 hereof wherein the Initiating Holders were permitted to register, and sold, at least 50% of the shares of Registrable Common Stock
requested to be included therein. The Company may, no more than one time in any twelve-month period, (i) postpone or withdraw for up to ninety (90) days the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration
if, based on the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, such postponement or withdrawal is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a matter the board has determined would not be in the best interest of the Company
to be disclosed at such time or (ii) postpone the filing of a Demand Registration in the event the Company shall be required to prepare audited financial statements as of a date other than its fiscal year (unless the Holders requesting such
registration agree to pay the expenses of such an audit); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company withdraw a Registration Statement under clause (i) after such Registration Statement has been declared effective; and provided,
further, however, that in any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Initiating Holders requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request. The Company shall provide written notice to the
Initiating Holders requesting such Demand Registration of (x) any postponement or withdrawal of the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(c), (y) the Company’s decision to file or seek
effectiveness of such Registration Statement following such withdrawal or postponement and (z) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. 
 (d) Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Common Stock covered by a Demand Registration hereof is to be sold in an Underwritten Offering, the Initiating Holders shall have the right
to select the managing underwriter(s) to administer the offering subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (e) Effective Period of Demand Registrations. After any Demand Registration filed pursuant to this Agreement has become effective, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such
Demand Registration effective for a period equal to 180 days from the date on which the SEC declares such Demand Registration effective (or if such Demand Registration is not effective during any period within such 180 days, such 180-day period
shall be extended by the number of days during such period when such Demand Registration is not effective), or such shorter period that shall terminate when all of the Registrable Common Stock covered by such Demand Registration have been sold
pursuant to such Demand Registration. If the Company shall withdraw or reduce the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock that is 

  
 - 4 -

 
subject to any Demand Registration pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2 (a “Withdrawn Demand Registration”), the Initiating Holders of the Registrable Common Stock
remaining unsold and originally covered by such Withdrawn Demand Registration shall be entitled to a replacement Demand Registration that (subject to the provisions of this Section 2) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep
effective for a period commencing on the effective date of such Demand Registration and ending on the earlier to occur of the date (i) that is 180 days from the effective date of such Demand Registration and (ii) on which all of the
Registrable Common Stock covered by such Demand Registration has been sold. Such additional Demand Registration otherwise shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement. 

(f) Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be obligated to effect more than one
(1) Underwritten Offering hereunder in any single six (6) month period, with the first such period measured from the date of the first Demand Registration and ending on the same date during the six (6) months following such Demand
Registration, whether or not a Business Day. 
 Section 3. Piggyback Registrations. 

(a) Right to Piggyback. From and after 180 days after the consummation of the IPO, whenever the Company proposes to register any of
its common equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or on Form S-4 or any similar successor forms thereto), whether for its own account or for the account of one or more stockholders of the Company,
and the registration form to be used may be used for any registration of Registrable Common Stock (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event within ten (10) business days after its receipt
of notice of any exercise of other demand registration rights) to all Holders of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Sections 3(b) and 3(c), shall include in such registration all Registrable Common Stock with respect to
which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. Subject to Section 2(c), the Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of
a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion. The participation of any Holder in a Piggyback Registration is subject to the Lock-up Agreement signed by such Holder. 

(b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the
Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares
of Registrable Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such offering, the underwriting shall be allocated among the Company and
all Holders pro rata on the basis of the Common Stock and Registrable Common Stock offered for such registration by the Company and each Holder, respectively, electing to participate in such registration. 

(c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of a
holder of the Company’s securities other than Registrable Common Stock (“Non-Holder Securities”), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in

  
 - 5 -

 
such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering and/or that the number of shares of Registrable Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would
adversely affect the price per share of the Company’s equity securities to be sold in such offering, the underwriting shall be allocated among the holders of Non-Holder Securities and all Holders pro rata on the basis of the Non-Holder
Securities and Registrable Common Stock offered for such registration by the holder of Non-Holder Securities and each Holder, respectively, electing to participate in such registration. 

(d) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering, the Company shall have the right
to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer any such offering. 
 (e) Other Registrations. If the
Company has previously filed a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Common Stock pursuant to Section 2 hereof or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the Company
shall not be obligated to cause to become effective any other registration of any of its securities under the Securities Act, whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least three
(3) months has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration. 
 Section 4. Holdback Agreement. 

In connection with an underwritten primary or secondary offering to the public, each Holder (other than the Manager, the Investors, the
Independent Directors and their respective Affiliates) agrees, subject to any exceptions that may be agreed upon at the time of such offering, not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Registrable Common Stock (or other
securities of the Company) held by him, her or it (other than Registrable Common Stock included in such offering in accordance with the terms hereof) for a period equal to the lesser of one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date
of a Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act or such shorter period as the managing underwriter shall agree to; provided that all other stockholders who own more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company and all executive officers and directors of the Company enter into similar agreements. Each Holder agrees to execute an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the managing underwriter at the request of the
Company. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Registrable Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said period.

 Section 5. Registration Procedures. 

Whenever the Holders request that any Registrable Common Stock be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the registration and the sale of such Registrable Common Stock in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as
possible: 
 (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Common Stock and use
its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter; and before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders of Registrable
Common Stock covered by such Registration Statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, including, if requested by such Holders, documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and,
if requested by such Holders, the exhibits incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference, and such Holders shall have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Holders that is contained therein and the Company will make the
corrections reasonably requested by such Holders with respect to such information prior to filing any Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto; 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective, in the case of Demand Registration, for a period not less than 180 days, or such shorter period as is necessary to complete the distribution of the securities covered by
such Registration Statement and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by
the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; 
 (c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Common Stock (without
charge) such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Common Stock owned by such seller, and the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, by Holders of Registrable Common Stock, in
connection with the offering and sale of Registrable Common Stock covered by any such Prospectus; 
 (d) use its commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Common Stock under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary

jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph (d), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction); 

(e) notify each seller of such Registrable Common Stock, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus contained therein, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Common Stock, such Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 

  
 - 7 -

 (f) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, enter into such customary agreements (including
underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Holders of a majority of number of shares of the Registrable Common Stock being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate
the disposition of such Registrable Common Stock, (including making executive officers of the Company available to participate in, and cause them to cooperate with the underwriters in connection with, “road-show” and other customary
marketing activities (including one-on-one meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Common Stock)), and cause to be delivered to the underwriters and the sellers, if any, opinions of counsel to the Company in customary form, covering
such matters as are customarily covered by opinions for an underwritten public offering as the underwriters may request and addressed to the underwriters and the sellers; 
 (g) subject to receipt of reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreements, make available, for inspection by a representative of a seller of Registrable Common Stock, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the
Company’s officers, directors and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then listed or, if no such similar securities are then listed, on a national securities exchange selected by the Company; 

(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Common Stock not later than the effective date of such Registration
Statement; 
 (j) if requested, cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
(and, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, at the time of delivery of any Registrable Common Stock sold pursuant thereto), letters from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to each selling Holder (unless such
selling Holder does not provide to such accountants the appropriate representation letter required by rules governing the accounting profession) and each underwriter, if any, stating that such accountants are independent public accountants within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by letters of the independent
certified public accountants delivered in connection with primary or secondary underwritten public offerings, as the case may be; 
 (k) make generally available to its stockholders a consolidated earnings statement (which need not be audited) for the 12 months (or, if applicable, such shorter period that the Company has been in
existence) beginning after the effective date of a Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such period, which earnings statement shall satisfy the requirements of an earning statement under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 

  
 - 8 -

 (l) cooperate with each selling Holder of Registrable Common Stock and each underwriter
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Common Stock and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and make reasonably available its employees
and personnel and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the underwriters (taking into account the needs of the Company’s businesses and the requirements of the marketing process) in the marketing of Registrable Common Stock in any
Underwritten Offering; 
 (m) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to use reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal
of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each seller of Registrable Common Stock being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any
proceeding for such purpose; 
 (n) promptly notify each seller of Registrable Common Stock and the underwriter or underwriters,
if any: 
 (i) when the Registration Statement, pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; 

(ii) of any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus; 

(iii) of the notification to the Company by the SEC of its initiation of any proceeding with respect to the issuance by the SEC of any

notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Common Stock for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction; 
 (o) at all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company shall file all reports and
other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and take such further action as any Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required to
enable such Holders to be eligible to sell Registrable Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule then in effect); and 

  
 - 9 -

 (p) as a condition to being included in any Registration Statement, the Company may require
each seller of Registrable Common Stock as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company any other information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably
request in writing. 
 Each seller of Registrable Common Stock agrees by having its stock treated as Registrable Common Stock hereunder that,
upon notice of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
(a “Suspension Notice”), such seller will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Common Stock until such seller is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and is furnished with a
supplemented or amended Prospectus as contemplated by Section 5(e) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such seller, at its option, either will destroy or deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such seller’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Common Stock current at the time of receipt of such notice; provided, however, that such postponement of sales of Registrable Common Stock by
the Holders shall not exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate in any three-month period or ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any one year except as a result of a refusal by the SEC to declare any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement effective after the Company has used all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective, in which case the Company shall terminate the suspension of the use of the Registration
Statement immediately following the effective date of the post-effective amendment. If the Company shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Common Stock pursuant to a Prospectus, the Company shall extend the period of time
during which the Company is required to maintain the Registration Statement effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date such seller
either is advised by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed or receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus. In any event, the Company shall not be entitled to deliver more than three (3) Suspension Notices
in any one year. 
 Section 6. Registration Expenses. 
 (a) All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance
with securities or blue sky laws, listing application fees, printing, word processing, telephone, messenger and delivery expenses, transfer agent’s and registrar’s fees, cost of distributing Prospectuses in preliminary and final form as
well as any supplements thereto, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, one counsel retained by the Holders of Registrable Common Stock and all independent certified public accountants and other Persons retained by the Company (all
such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”) (but not including any underwriting discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Common Stock or fees and expenses of more than one counsel representing the
Holders of Registrable Common Stock, which shall be borne by the Holders), shall be borne by the Company (whether or not any Registration Statement is declared effective or any of the transactions described herein is consummated). In addition, the
Company shall pay its internal expenses, the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which they are
to be listed. 

  
 - 10 -

 (b) In connection with each registration initiated hereunder (whether a Demand Registration
or a Piggyback Registration), the Company shall reimburse the Holders covered by such registration or sale for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one law firm chosen by the Holders of a majority of the number of shares of Registrable Common
Stock included in such registration sale. 
 (c) The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in
Section 6(a) and to reimburse the Holders for the expenses described in Section 6(b) shall apply irrespective of whether a registration, once properly demanded, if applicable, becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended, is converted to
another form of registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur; provided, however, that Registration Expenses for any Registration Statement withdrawn solely at the request of a Holder of Registrable Common Stock (unless
withdrawn following postponement of filing by the Company in accordance with Section 2(c) (i) or (ii)) or any supplements or amendments to a Registration Statement or Prospectus resulting from a misstatement furnished to the Company by a
Holder shall be borne by such Holder. 
 Section 7. Indemnification. 

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its officers, directors and
Affiliates, employees and agents of such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action, investigation or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by, arising out of, in connection with
or based upon, any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or applicable “blue sky” laws, except insofar as the same are made in reliance and in conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly
for use therein or caused by such Holder’s failure to deliver to such Holder’s immediate purchaser a copy of the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the
Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. 
 (b) In connection with any Registration
Statement in which a Holder is or Holders are participating, each such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or
Prospectus and shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers, directors, Affiliates, and each Person who “controls” the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (excluding such Holder itself, if
applicable), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged 

  
 - 11 -

 
untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that the same are made
in reliance and in conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or caused by such Holder’s failure to deliver to such Holder’s immediate purchaser a copy
of the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same; provided, however, that the
obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders and the liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Common Stock
pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
 (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written
notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with
respect to such claim, such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel total for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or
equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to another indemnified party with respect to such claim. Failure to give prompt written notice shall not release the indemnifying
party from its obligations hereunder. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise (i) which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation or (ii) which includes any statement of admission of fault, culpability or
failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. 
 (d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall
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 and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Common Stock or the
termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant to this Section 7 is unavailable,
unenforceable or insufficient to hold harmless any indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, 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 fault of the indemnifying

  
 - 12 -

 
party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party 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 indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and by each such party’s respective intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds received by
such Holder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof had been available under the
circumstances. 
 Section 8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. 

No Person may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Person (a) 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 (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements, opinions and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 Section 9. Rule 144.

 The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and after consummation of the IPO it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request
to make available adequate current public information with respect to the Company meeting the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, to the extent required to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Common
Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements.

 Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the

delivery of this Agreement, the performance by such Purchaser of his, her or its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by such Purchaser and, if a business entity, by all
requisite corporate action of such Purchaser. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except that the enforceability of this Agreement

 3 

 3.4 Offering Representations. 

(a) Such Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Units (and the Shares and Warrants comprising the Units) have not been registered under
the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to registration or to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and that the certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrants comprising the Units will bear
a legend to that effect. The Units to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired for his, her or its own account and with no intention of distributing or reselling the Units (or the Shares and Warrants comprising the
Units) or any part thereof in any transaction that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States, any state of the United States or any foreign jurisdiction. Such Purchaser further agrees that he, she or it has not entered and
prior to the Closing will not enter into any Contract with respect to the distribution, sale, transfer or delivery of the Units. 
 (b) Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect. 

(c) Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for his, her or its current needs and personal contingencies, that such Purchaser has
no need now, and anticipates no need in the foreseeable future, to sell the Shares or Warrants, and such Purchaser currently has sufficient financial liquidity to afford a complete loss of such Purchaser’s investment in the Issuer. 

(d) The overall commitment of such Purchaser to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of such
Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances, and any purchase of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. 
 (e) Such Purchaser is sufficiently experienced in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved in purchasing the Units and to make an informed decision relating
thereto. 
 (f) In addition to reviewing the Issuer’s Private Placement Memorandum, such Purchaser has carefully considered
the potential risks relating to the Issuer and a purchase of the Units, and fully understands that the Units are speculative investments which involve a high degree of risk of loss of such Purchaser’s entire investment. Among others, such
Purchaser has carefully considered each of the risks described in the Private Placement Memorandum and the documents incorporated therein by reference. Such Purchaser has been furnished with the materials relating to the business, operations,
financial condition, assets and liabilities of the Issuer and other matters relevant to such Purchaser’s investment in the Units which have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has had adequate opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from, the officers, employees, agents, accountants, and representatives of the Issuer concerning the business, operations, financial condition, assets and liabilities of the Issuer and all other matters relevant to such
Purchaser’s investment in the Units.

means of the registration statement on Form S-11 filed by the Issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO (the “Registration Statement”), (ii) was not identified or contacted through the
marketing of the IPO and (iii) did not independently contact the Issuer as a result of the general solicitation by means of the Registration Statement.

which such Purchaser will agree, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement, not to sell the Shares or the Warrant Shares for 180 days from the Closing. AG Funds will enter into a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit C-2 attached hereto under which AG Funds will agree, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreement, not to sell the Shares or the Warrant Shares for two years from the Closing.

after the Closing as the other party hereto may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, obtaining any required consents or approvals from third parties, if any.

the Closing pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement is subject to the fulfillment (or waiver by the Issuer) of the following conditions: (a) the representations and warranties of each Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this

  
 5 

 
Agreement shall be deemed to have been made again at and as of the Closing and shall then be true and accurate and (b) each Purchaser shall have performed and complied in all material

 ARTICLE 6 
 AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SHARES AND WARRANTS 
 6.1 Furnishing of
Information. Upon consummation of the IPO, and until the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), even
if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare
and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, including without limitation, under Rule 144. The
Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell such Shares, Warrants or Warrant
Shares without registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144. 
 6.2 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants. 

6.3 Listing of Common Stock. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the
listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on the NYSE and promptly secure the
listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on the NYSE. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other trading market, including the NYSE AMEX, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market
or the Nasdaq Global Select 

  
 6 

 
Market (or any successors to any of the foregoing) it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of
the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other trading market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a trading market and will
comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the trading market. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

7.1 Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing if, prior to the consummation of the IPO Closing, the
Registration Statement is withdrawn or the Underwriting Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall become void and have no effect, without any liability to either party
hereto, except for any liability resulting from a breach of this Agreement by either party hereto prior to such termination. 

7.2 Survival. Each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely. Each covenant
contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until performed in accordance with its terms. 
 7.3 Amendments;
Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver of any term or condition hereof or obligation hereunder shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the
party to which any such performance is due. 
 7.4 Severability of Provisions. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party hereto. Upon such a determination,
the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as
originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
 7.5 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No waiver or
modification of any provision of this Agreement, the Warrants and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Transaction Documents”), shall be offered or made to any
provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same waiver or modification is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each
Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the
purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise. 

  
 7 

 7.6 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any
other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,

Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all
Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.

would cause the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER. 

7.9 Remedies and Waivers. No delay or omission on the part of either party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy
provided by law or under this Agreement shall (i) impair such right, power or remedy or (ii) operate as a waiver thereof. The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall not
preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.
