 2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 
 2.1 Demand Registration. 
 2.1.1
Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time on or after the Release Date, the holders of a minimum thirty percent (30%) interest of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors or the transferees of the Investors, may
make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”). Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to
be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify in writing all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such
holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the
receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth
in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of Registrable Securities. 
 2.1.2 Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission
with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared
effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court or if the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement is no longer effective, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise
terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement
that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated or withdrawn. 
 2.1.3 Underwritten Offering. If a minimum
thirty percent (30%) interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such 

  

 3 

 
Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such
registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to
distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand
Registration. 
 2.1.4 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an
underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other securities
which the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the
maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar
amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the
Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities which such Demanding Holder has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities held by each Demanding Holder) that
can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Stock for the account of other persons
that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (v) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have
not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the Common Stock that other shareholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares. 
 2.1.5 Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include
all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw
prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration,
then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in this Section 2.1. 
 2.2 Piggy-Back Registration.

  

 4 

 2.2.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the Release Date the Company proposes to file
a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for
shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement on Form S-8 or S-4 or (i) filed in connection
with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, or (iii) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give
written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities
to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed Managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the
opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause
such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a
Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution
thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter
or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. 
 2.2.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters
for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with
Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which
registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of
the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration: 
 (a) If the registration is
undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the securities, if any, including the Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of security
holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of securities which each such person has actually requested to be included in such registration, regardless of the number of securities with respect to which such persons have the right to request such
inclusion) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (ii) if the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons 

  

 5 

 
other than the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, (w) first, the Common Stock for the
account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (x) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (1), the Common Stock or other
securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (y) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w) and (x), the
Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2 (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities held by each such holder); and (z) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (w), (x) and (y), the Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights which other shareholders desire to
sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares. 
 2.2.3 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may
elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The
Company may also elect to withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable
Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3. 
 2.3 Registrations on Form S-3. The
holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which may be available
at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of the
proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such
request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other holder or holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable
Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than
$500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1. 
 3.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. 
 3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and
in connection with any such request: 
 3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible and in any
event within sixty (60) days after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for
the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back
Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further,
however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder. In no event will the holder of Registrable
Securities be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement in lieu of physical settlement in shares of Common Stock, regardless of whether the Common Stock is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. 
  

 6 

 3.1.2 Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and
supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other
documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders. 
 3.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and

 3.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days
after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days
of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by
the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to 

  

 7 

 
remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating
thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration
Statement, such prospectus will not contain an 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 not misleading, and promptly make available to the
holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including
documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed
sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or
supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall reasonably object. 
 3.1.5 State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of
such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may
be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph 3.1.5 or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction. 
 3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in
customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement
which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. No holder of Registrable Securities
included in such registration statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except as required by law and, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s organization, good standing,

Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement. 
 3.1.9 Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) any opinion of counsel to the
Company delivered to any Underwriter and (ii) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants delivered to any Underwriter. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any Underwriter, the Company shall furnish to
each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has
been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect. 
 3.1.10 Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder. 
 3.1.11 Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. 
 3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 3.1.4(iv), or, in the case of a resale registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Company’s Board of
Directors, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any
registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by

  

 9 

 
Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and,
if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt
of such notice. 
 3.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Demand
Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, and any registration on Form S-3 effected pursuant to Section 2.3, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other

of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders
thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling shareholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the underwriter pro rata in proportion to the
respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering. 
 3.4 Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide
such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration
of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. 
 4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. 
 4.1 Indemnification
by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents,
and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”),
from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement
under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities 

  

 10 

 
Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor
Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly
for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as
that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1. 
 4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each
selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other person, if any, who controls such selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages
or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any
amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder
shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder. 
 4.3
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the
“Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment,

damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification
with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to
assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any
action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and
its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such
Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. 
 4.4 Contribution. 
 4.4.1 If the
indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified
Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and
any Indemnifying Party 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 such
Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss,
claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding 

  

 12 

 
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net
proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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. 
 5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION. 
 5.1 Rule 144. The
Company covenants that it shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to
time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 
 6. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 6.1 Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of the Registrable Securities, I-Bankers
Securities, Inc., Newbridge Securities Corp. and Westminster Securities Corp. or its designees has any right to require the Company to register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Company’s
capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person. 
 6.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement
and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by
any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and the permitted assigns of the Investor or holder of Registrable Securities or of
any assignee of the Investor or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2.

 6.3 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”)
required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery,
telegram, telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of 

  

 13 

 
service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a
business day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given on the next business day following timely delivery of such notice to a
reputable air courier service with an order for next-day delivery.

 6.4 Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this
Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable. 
 6.5
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  

 15 

 6.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and
all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings,
negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written. 
 6.7 Modifications and Amendments. No amendment,
modification or termination of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party unless executed in writing by such party. 
 6.8 Titles and
Headings. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement. 
 6.9 Waivers and Extensions. Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, provided that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party
unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver
of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of time for performance of any
obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts. 
 6.10
Remedies. 
 6.10.1 Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged
irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions (without the necessity of posting a bond or other security) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court
of the United States or any state or other foreign court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity. 
 6.10.2 Repurchase Obligation. In the event that the Company breaches its obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement, the
Investors shall have the right to cause the Company to purchase the Registrable Securities that were the subject of such breach (the “Repurchase Right”), as follows: 
 (a) In the event an Investor wishes to exercise its Repurchase Right, the Investor shall notify the Company in writing of the alleged breach of
Section 2 or Section 3 and the Registrable Securities that were the subject of such breach. 
 (b) In the event that the Company
does not remedy or cure such breach within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the written notice set out in Section 6.10.2(a) above, then the Company shall be irrevocably obligated to purchase from the Investor the Registrable Securities
that were the subject of such breach. The closing of such repurchase shall take place within sixty (60) days of such notice. 
  

 16 

 (c) The purchase price for the Registrable Securities to be repurchased pursuant to the exercise of this
Repurchase Right shall be equal to the average of the closing prices for the applicable Registrable Securities for the last 20 trading days prior to the day that the closing of the repurchase of such Registrable Securities is to occur hereunder.

 (d) If the Company is unable to purchase all Registrable Securities required to be purchased hereunder due to legal or contractual
restrictions (as evidenced by the opinion letter of outside counsel to the Company acceptable to the Investors which shall attach the relevant law, regulation and/or contract), Registrable Securities shall be repurchased (on a pro rata basis from
the holders of the Registrable Securities based upon the Common Stock equivalents) from time to time within thirty (30) days after such legal or contractual restriction is lifted, to the extent the Company is legally permitted to do so, and the
obligations of the Company under this Section 6.10.2 will be a continuing obligation until the Company’s repurchase of all such Registrable Securities. 
 (e) On each date (including any subsequent purchase closing date if multiple purchases result from the application of Section 6.10.2(d)) that a purchase is to occur hereunder, the closing shall occur at the
Company’s principal office. At the closing, to the extent applicable, the Investor shall deliver the Registrable Securities being sold, duly endorsed in blank, accompanied by such supporting documents as may be necessary to pass to the Company
good title to the Registrable Securities, free and clear of all liens (other than restrictions under applicable securities laws). In consideration therefor, the Company shall deliver to the Investor immediately available funds equal to the aggregate
purchase price as determined hereunder. If the Company fails to purchase the Registrable Securities on any closing date, it shall pay interest to each Investor for the period commencing on the date of such closing and ending on the date such
purchase is made equal to the lesser of the US dollar prime rate by Citibank N.A. for such period (broken down to shorter periods if relevant) plus four percent (4%) or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. 
 (f) At any time prior to the sale of any Registrable Securities under this Section 6.10.2, the Investor may withdraw its notice, without impairing
its right to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.10.2 at a later date. 
 6.11 Remedies Cumulative. In the event that
the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Investor or any other holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action
at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable
right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and
in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 
 6.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements 

  

 17 

 
made and to be performed within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice-of-law provisions thereof that would compel the application of the
substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 6.13 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives
the right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the actions of
the Investor in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof.
