STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 4 

 
Section
7.2    Piggy-Back Registration Rights.    If the Company decides, including as required under any demand registration rights agreement, to register any of its common stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock under the Securities Act on a form which is suitable for an offering for cash or shares of the Company held by third parties and which is not a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan, a registration
statement on Form S-4 (or successor form) or a transaction to which Rule 145 or any other similar rule of the SEC is applicable, the Company will promptly give written notice to Buyer of its intention to effect such a registration. Subject to
Section 7.3 below, the Company shall include the Shares that Buyer requests be included in such registration by a written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the notice given by the Company. Buyer agrees that any
securities it requests to be included in a Company registration pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be included by the Company on the same form of registration statement as has been selected by the Company for the securities the Company is
registering for sale for its own account. 
 
Section 7.3    Underwritten Offering.    If the registration involves an underwritten offering, the Company will not be required to register Buyer’s Shares in excess of the amount
that the principal underwriter reasonably and in good faith recommends may be included in such offering (a “Cutback”), which recommendation, and supporting reasoning, shall be delivered to Buyer. If such a Cutback occurs, the number of
shares that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: (i) first, to the Company for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account, (ii) second, to the other holders, who
were granted registration rights prior to Buyer, requesting inclusion in the registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has requested registration, and (iii)
third, to Buyer requiring such registration on the basis of the number of Shares for which Buyer requested registration. 
 
Section 7.4    Termination.    If Buyer elects to terminate its participation in any
registration filed pursuant to this Article VII, the Company will have no obligation to register the Shares sought to be included by Buyer in any other registration. If the Company for any reason terminates any registration statement which includes
the Shares, the rights of Buyer hereunder shall not terminate. If the Company includes in such registration any securities to be offered by it, all registration expenses of Buyer, except for underwriting discounts and commissions attributable to the
Shares and fees and expenses of Buyer’s attorneys and accountants, will be borne by the Company.

such computation reflects that the total amount of interest that has been contracted for, charged, or received by Holder or payable by Maker exceeds the Maximum Lawful Amount, then Holder shall apply such excess to the reduction of the principal
balance and not to the payment of interest; or if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance, such excess shall be refunded to Maker. This provision concerning the crediting or refund of excess interest shall control and take
precedence over all other agreements between Maker and Holder so that under no circumstances shall the total interest contracted for, charged, or received by Holder exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. 

 

	 	(d)	 	Interest After Default.    At Holder’s option, the unpaid principal balance shall bear interest after maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) at the “Default Interest Rate”. The Default Interest Rate shall be (i) the Interest Rate stated on the first page of this Note plus ten (10) percentage points; or (ii) such lesser rate of interest as Holder in
its sole discretion may choose to charge; but never more than the Maximum Lawful Rate or at a rate that would cause the total interest contracted for, charged, or received by Holder to exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. 

 

	 	(e)	 	Daily Computation of Interest.    Any interest payable herein shall be computed on the basis of a calendar year consisting of 365 or 366,
as the case may be. In no 

 

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE – Page 2 

event shall Holder compute the interest in a manner that would cause Holder to contract
for, charge, or receive interest that would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate or the Maximum Lawful Amount. 
 

	2.	 	DEFAULT PROVISIONS. 

 

	 	(a)	 	EVENTS OF DEFAULT.    Events of Default are as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	 	There is default in the payment of any installment of principal, interest, or any other sum required to be paid under the terms of this Note and such default is not
cured within thirty (30) days of the applicable due date; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	There is default in the performance of any covenant, condition, or agreement contained in this Note and such default shall remain uncured for a period of thirty (30)
days after written notice thereof shall have been given by Holder to Maker; or 

 

	 	(iii)	 	The bankruptcy or insolvency of, the assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or the appointment of a receiver for any of the property of, or the liquidation,
termination, dissolution or death or legal incapacity of, any party liable for the payment of this Note, whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety or otherwise. 

 

	 	(b)	 	Non-Waiver by Holder.    Any previous extension of time, forbearance, failure to pursue some remedy, acceptance of late payments, or
acceptance of partial payment by Holder, before or after maturity, does not constitute a waiver by Holder of his subsequent right to strictly enforce the terms of this Note. 

 

	3.	 	PREPAYMENT.    Maker may make payments of principal at any time before they are due. When Maker makes a prepayment, Maker will notify
Holder in writing that Maker is doing so. Maker may make a full prepayment or partial prepayments of principal without paying any prepayment charge or premium. Holder will apply all prepayments first to pay all outstanding interest, if any, and
then, to reduce the amount of principal that Maker owes under this Note. If Maker makes a partial prepayment, there will be no changes in the due date or in the amount of any scheduled payments under this Note unless Holder agrees in writing to
those changes. 

 

	4.	 	COLLATERAL.    The Collateral shall be held by a representative of Holder until this Note is fully paid. The Collateral is subject to the
terms of the Stock Pledge Agreement dated of even date herewith (“Pledge Agreement”) and the Option as described in the Stock Purchase Agreement. 

 

	5.	 	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 

 

	 	(a)	 	Subsequent Holder.    All references to Holder in this Note shall also refer to any subsequent owner or holder of this Note by transfer,
assignment, endorsement, or 

 

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE – Page 3 

 
otherwise any
successor or assign of Holder, or any entity or person who is entitled to receive payments under this Note. 
 

	 	(b)	 	No Transfer.    Holder and Maker shall not assign or transfer this Note to any other party without the written consent of the other party.

 

	 	(c)	 	Successors and Assigns.    The provisions of this Note shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators
of Maker, and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Holder; provided, however, that no obligations of Maker hereunder can be assigned without Holder’s prior written consent. 

 

	 	(d)	 	No Duty or Special Relationship.     If Holder and Maker are now engaged in or in the future engage in other business transactions, such
other business transactions are independent of this Note and the indebtedness evidenced hereby and of the promises and covenants made by Maker in this Note, and vice versa. 

 

	 	(e)	 	Modifications.    Any modifications agreed to by Holder relating to the release of liability of any of the parties primarily or
secondarily liable for the payment of this Note, or relating to the release, substitution, or subordination of all or part of the security for this Note, shall in no way constitute a release of liability with respect to the other parties or security
not covered by such modification. 

 

	 	(f)	 	Entire Agreement.    Maker warrants and represents that this Note, the Stock Pledge Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement constitute the
entire agreement between Maker and Holder with respect to the loan evidenced by this Note and agree that no modification, amendment, or additional agreement with respect to such loan or the advancement of funds thereunder will be valid and
enforceable unless made in writing signed by both Maker and Holder. 

 

	 	(g)	 	Maker’s Addresses for Notice.    All notices required to be sent by Holder to Maker shall be sent by U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, to
Maker’s Addresses for Notice stated on the first page of this Note, until Holder shall receive written notification from Maker of a new address, or addresses, for notice. 

 

	 	(h)	 	Holder’s Address for Payment.    All sums payable by Maker to Holder shall be paid at Holder’s Address for Payment stated on the
first page of this Note, or at such other address as Holder shall designate from time to time. 

 

	 	(i)	 	Partial Invalidity.    The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of
any other provision herein, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Note as to any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.

 

	 	(j)	 	APPLICABLE LAW; VENUE & JURISDICTION.    THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE

 

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE – Page 4 

STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN
TEXAS. In any litigation in connection with this Note or any foreclosure of Holder’s security interest in the Collateral, Maker and all other persons liable for payment of all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, and each of them,
