Agreement:

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

     

     

    

 

1.          Demise
and Subleased Premises; Incorporation of Master Lease; Consent of Overlandlord.

 

(a)          Demise
and Subleased Premises. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby takes and hires from Sublandlord, the
Subleased Premises, for a term (the “Sublease Term”) beginning on the date that is the earlier to occur of either
(i) August 31, 2019, or (ii) the date Subtenant occupies and conducts its regular business operations in the Subleased Premises
(such date, the “Sublease Commencement Date”), and expiring without further notice or act on April 29, 2026
(the “Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated or canceled in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance
of doubt, Subtenant shall have no renewal options, termination options, rights of first offer or expansion options under this Sublease,
including, without limitation, those set forth on 27, 28 and 29 of the Master Lease. During the period commencing on the date the
Overlandlord’s consent is received, but in no event earlier than June 1, 2019, and continuing to the Sublease Commencement
Date (such earlier period, the “Early Access Period”), Subtenant shall have the right to access the Subleased
Premises solely for purposes of installing Subtenant’s furniture, fixtures and performing work relating to the Subtenant
Improvements (as further defined and described herein); provided, however, that if Subtenant elects to exercise such right and
enters the Subleased Premises during the Early Access Period, then Subtenant expressly agrees that Subtenant shall comply with
and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease during the Early Access Period, notwithstanding that the Sublease
Commencement Date has not yet occurred, including, without limitation, the insurance requirements, indemnity provisions and provisions
of the Master Lease incorporated in this Sublease, excepting only the obligation to pay monthly Fixed Rent and Additional Rent.
Effective as of the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord shall convey that certain personal property owned by Sublandlord and
located at the Subleased Premises, as more particularly described on Exhibit B attached hereto (“Sublandlord’s
Property”), to Subtenant via a quitclaim bill of sale substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and
made a part hereof, for One Dollar ($1.00) consideration, and Subtenant shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and expense,
for removing all such Sublandlord’s Property on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. For the
avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that other than Sublandlord’s Property listed on Exhibit C,
Subtenant shall have no right to use, and Sublandlord shall remove, at Sublandlord’s sole cost and expense, all of Sublandlord’s
other leased and owned personal property and equipment, including, without limitation, all copiers, postage machines, water coolers,
the backup generator and other office equipment and other Sublandlord property; provided, however, subject to the following sentence,
that Sublandlord shall not remove low voltage cabling without Subtenant’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld
in Subtenant’s sole discretion; it being hereby understood, however, that Subtenant shall be responsible at its sole cost
and expense for removal of the low voltage cabling on or before the Expiration Date if so required by Overlandlord in connection
with the expiration or termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall inform Sublandlord (A) within thirty (30) days of the execution
of this Sublease or (B) by March 31, 2019, whichever occurs first, whether it intends to install its own low-voltage cabling, or
use the existing low-voltage cabling and in the event Subtenant elects not to use the existing cabling, Sublandlord shall promptly
cause the same to be removed it at its own cost. In the absence of such timely election described in the preceding sentence, Subtenant
shall be deemed to have elected to keep the existing low voltage cabling in place.

 

(b)          Subordinate
to Master Lease. This Sublease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and to the matters to which the
Master Lease is or shall be subject and subordinate.

 

(c)          Incorporation
by Reference.

 

(i)          All
of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Master Lease are hereby incorporated in, and made a part of this Sublease,
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and except those which by their nature or purpose are inapplicable to the subleasing
of the Subleased Premises pursuant to this Sublease or are inconsistent with or modified by any of the terms, covenants or conditions
of this Sublease, each and every term, covenant and condition of the Master Lease binding or inuring to the benefit of the Overlandlord
thereunder shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, and each and every term, covenant and
condition of the Master Lease binding or inuring to the benefit of the tenant thereunder shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind
or inure to the benefit of Subtenant, with the same force and effect as if such terms, covenants and conditions were completely
set forth in this Sublease, and as if the words (i) “Landlord” and “Tenant,” or words of similar import,
wherever the same appear in the Master Lease, were construed to mean, respectively, “Sublandlord” and “Subtenant”
in this Sublease, (ii) “Lease,” or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Master Lease, were construed
to mean this “Sublease”, (iii) “Premises” or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Master
Lease, were construed to mean the Subleased Premises; (iv) “Term” and “Initial Term” or words of similar
import, wherever the same appear in the Master Lease, were construed to mean the “Sublease Term”, and (v) “Commencement
Date” or words of similar import, wherever the same appear in the Master Lease, were construed to mean “Sublease Commencement
Date”. All references to “Base Year” in the Master Lease shall be deemed to refer to 2019.

(ii)         Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary:

 

(1)         For
the purposes of this Sublease, the following Paragraphs of the Master Lease (or described portions thereof) shall not be deemed
incorporated in or made a part hereof: (a) the following Sections of the Master Lease (or described portions thereof): The phrase
“except as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto” in Section 2, third sentence of Section 3, subsections 4(a), 4(b),
the second and third sentence of subsection 6(b), the first sentence of subsection 6(c), Section 7, the third and fourth sentence
of subsection 8(a), subsection 8(b), Section 9, Section 10, subsection 11(b), subsection 12(b), subsection 17(k), subsection 17(l),
subsection 20(b) and subsection 20(e), Section 22, first sentence of subsection 23(a), the phrase “(including the Request
for Proposal prepared by Broker, and accepted on September 22, 2014 by Landlord and Tenant)” in subsection 25(e), the first
sentence of subsection 25(p), the first sentence of Section 26, but including the definition of Generating Equipment, 27, 28 and
29 and Exhibits B, C, D, F, G, J, K and L. Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that Sublandlord has not received any
written notice that the use of the Leased Premises for the Permitted Use (i) fails to comply with any reasonable requirements of
the insurers of the Building, (ii) in and of itself is deemed to be a use that may render any increase in insurance premiums, or
(iii) violates the applicable Rules and Regulations. Any non-liability, indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Master Lease
for the benefit of the landlord under the Master Lease, that is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the
benefit of Sublandlord, Overlandlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation
by reference in this Sublease. Any right of Overlandlord of access or inspection and any right of Overlandlord to do work in the
premises demised under the Master Lease or in the Building and any right of Overlandlord in respect of rules and regulations shall
be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Overlandlord, and any other person intended to be benefited by said provision,
for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease. If any of the express provisions of this Sublease shall conflict
with any of the provisions incorporated by reference, such conflict shall be resolved in every instance in favor of the express
provisions of this Sublease.

 

(2)         The
time limits contained in the Master Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant
on the part of the tenant thereunder, or for the exercise by the tenant thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed
for the purposes of incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instances by two (2) days, so that in each
instance Subtenant shall have two (2) days less time to observe or perform hereunder than Sublandlord has as the tenant under the
Master Lease.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(3)         The
failure to incorporate provisions from the Master Lease into this Sublease as to matters which are addressed in this Sublease shall
not be construed as rendering those provisions in the Master Lease inapplicable, where appropriate, to Subtenant pursuant to the
terms of this Sublease. To the extent terms used herein are included in the above list of excluded sections, the definitions of
such terms shall be deemed incorporated in and made a part hereof, notwithstanding the exclusion of such sections.

 

(d)          Performance
by Sublandlord. Any obligation of Sublandlord which is contained in this Sublease by the incorporation by reference of the
provisions of the Master Lease may be observed or performed by Sublandlord using commercially reasonable efforts to cause Overlandlord
to observe and/or perform the same (including without limitation Sublandlord’s delivery to Overlandlord of any notices or
requests for consent as Subtenant may reasonably request), and Sublandlord shall have a reasonable time to enforce its rights to
cause such observance or performance. Sublandlord shall promptly deliver to Subtenant all notices and written communications Sublandlord
receives from Overlandlord pursuant to or in connection with the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall not be required to furnish, supply
or install anything under any article of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall not in any event have any rights in respect of the Subleased
Premises greater than Sublandlord’s rights under the Master Lease, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, as
to obligations that pertain to the Subleased Premises and are contained in this Sublease by the incorporation by reference of the
provisions of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall not be required to make any payment or perform any obligation or provide any
services, and Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant for any matter whatsoever, except for Sublandlord’s obligation
to pay the rent and additional rent due under the Master Lease. Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant is not assuming
obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease attributable to periods prior to the Sublease Commencement Date. Sublandlord
shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services or facilities that may be
appurtenant to or supplied at the Building under the Master Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, heat, air conditioning,
water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services
or facilities shall give rise to any (i) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease
(except to the extent of any corresponding abatement, diminution or reduction of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Master
Lease), (ii) constructive eviction, whether in whole or in part, or (iii) liability on the part of Sublandlord. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof, Sublandlord is not assuming, and shall not be responsible or liable for Overlandlord’s obligation
to observe or perform any agreement or obligation on the part of Overlandlord under the Master Lease or imposed on Overlandlord
by law with respect to the Subleased Premises, except Sublandlord shall (in accordance with the first sentence of this subsection
1(d)) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Overlandlord to observe and/or perform any obligation of Sublandlord which is
contained in this Sublease by the incorporation by reference of the provisions of the Master Lease.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

(e)          Consent
of Overlandlord. This Sublease is subject to, conditioned upon and shall have no effect until Overlandlord gives its written
consent (the “Overlandlord’s Consent”), which consent shall be evidenced by Overlandlord’s signature
appended hereto or by a separate consent in the standard form utilized by the Overlandlord. Sublandlord agrees promptly to request
such consent and to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent (without being obligated to make any payment to
Overlandlord not required by the Master Lease, nor to amend or waive any provision of the Master Lease, nor to commence any arbitration
or litigation), but Sublandlord shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever if such consent is refused or not obtained
for any reason whatsoever or for no reason. Subtenant agrees to cooperate with Sublandlord with respect thereto and to furnish
financial statements and all other items Overlandlord is entitled to request with respect to Subtenant as Overlandlord in accordance
with the provisions of the Master Lease and, if required by Overlandlord, execute and deliver Overlandlord’s commercially
reasonable consent form. In the event that Overlandlord notifies Sublandlord that Overlandlord will not give such consent, this
Sublease shall be deemed to be canceled and without force or effect. In the event that the previous sentence does not apply but
Sublandlord does not receive such consent of Overlandlord by a date which is thirty (30) days after the date of the execution of
this Sublease, then so long as the party seeking to terminate this Sublease shall have acted in good faith in the Overlandlord
consent process, upon written notice to the other, Sublandlord or Subtenant may cancel this Sublease, and upon the giving of such
notice, this Sublease shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect, and Sublandlord and Subtenant shall have no further
obligations or liabilities to the other with respect to this Sublease (except as otherwise expressly provided herein), and if Subtenant
is then in possession of all or any part of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall immediately quit and surrender to Sublandlord
the Subleased Premises, shall remove all of its property and repair all damage caused by such removal and restore the Subleased
Premises to the condition in which they were prior to the installation of the items so removed, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

Subtenant shall
pay to Sublandlord Fixed Rent in advance in equal monthly installments (“Monthly Fixed Rent”) commencing on
the date that is thirty (30) days after the Sublease Commencement Date (the “Rent Commencement Date”) and continuing
thereafter on or before the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month during the Sublease Term, without demand,
setoff, deduction or abatement. If the Sublease Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, then the Monthly Fixed Rent
for the first month of the Sublease Term shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Subtenant shall pay the first full monthly installment
of Fixed Rent due under this Sublease (i.e. for the month immediately following the Rent Commencement Date), in the amount of $41,605.33,
on or before the Sublease Commencement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Subtenant be liable for Fixed Rent or
Additional Rent for periods prior to the Rent Commencement Date.

 

(b)          Except
as otherwise set forth in this Sublease, it is intended that the provisions of this Sublease shall require Subtenant to pay all
costs, expenses and obligations attributable to the Subleased Premises during the Sublease Term to the extent required to be paid
and/or performed by the tenant under the Master Lease, so that, except as otherwise set forth in this Sublease, the Monthly Fixed
Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder shall be “net” to Sublandlord. It is intended that (i) Sublandlord
shall incur no costs or expense with respect to the Subleased Premises during the Sublease Term (other than the rent due Overlandlord
under the Master Lease or as otherwise expressly provided herein and the obligations of the tenant under the Master Lease attributable
to periods prior to the Sublease Commencement Date), and (ii) the Monthly Fixed Rent shall be an absolute net return to Sublandlord
throughout the Sublease Term, without offset or deduction and free of all expenses, charges, diminution and other deductions whatsoever.

 

(c)          Commencing
on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter during the Term, Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord all Additional Rent due under the Lease. To the extent not included in Operating Expenses, Subtenant shall have the
obligation to procure and timely pay for all water, gas, light, power, internet and data services, electricity, heat, telephone,
fire suppression, sewage and all other utilities and services metered, chargeable or provided to the Building for Subtenant’s
exclusive use and all charges imposed by Overlandlord resulting from special services provided to Subtenant or the Subleased Premises.
All such sums payable by Subtenant under this Sublease, including Additional Rent under the Master Lease, are referred to hereinafter
as “Additional Rent” and Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies for non-payment thereof as Sublandlord
has for non-payment of Monthly Fixed Rent. Monthly Fixed Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes referred to hereinafter collectively
as “Rent”. Within ten (10) days following Sublandlord’s receipt from Overlandlord of the final reconciliation
of the Operating Expenses pursuant to Subparagraph 3(c)(2) of the Master Lease, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall likewise reconcile
the additional rental payable by Subtenant pursuant to this Section 2(c). This Section 2(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease Agreement.

the Master Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, enter into and maintain at all times

under the Master Lease. Without limitation of the foregoing, Subtenant shall have the obligation to procure and maintain service
and maintenance agreements for the server room generator if it elects to keep the server room generator (but specifically excluding
the full-building backup generator installed by Overlandlord for the Subleased Premises), server room dedicated HVAC and fire suppression
systems during the Sublease Term. Sublandlord shall cause the server room generator to be removed at its own cost and restore all
wiring connections and any damaged occasioned by such removal on or before the Sublease Commencement Date.

 

4.          Use.
To the extent such use is lawful, Subtenant shall have the right to use the Subleased Premises solely for the uses permitted under
the Master Lease and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Overlandlord, which consent, solely
with respect to Sublandlord, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (the “Permitted Use”).

 

5.          No
Breach of Master Lease; No Privity of Estate.

 

(a)          No
Breach of Master Lease. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing which may constitute a
breach or violation of any term, covenant or condition of the Master Lease by the tenant thereunder, whether or not such
act or thing is permitted under this provisions of this Sublease.

 

(b)          No
Privity of Estate. Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or of contract between
Subtenant and Overlandlord. Without limitation to the foregoing, Subtenant shall not have the right or power to modify or amend
the Master Lease or to exercise any option or right under the Master Lease, or to waive any agreement or obligation of, or to exercise

be required to expend any funds to do so. Subtenant shall be required to remove all of the
Subtenant Improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Sublease unless Overlandlord does not require
such removal and restoration or otherwise required by the terms of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall promptly notify Subtenant
if and when Sublandlord receives notice that Overlandlord requires any Subtenant Alterations, including without limitation the
Subtenant Improvements, to be removed at the end of the Term.

 

9.          Subtenant’s
Default and Sublandlord’s Right to Cure.

 

(a)          If
Subtenant defaults in any of its obligations hereunder, Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies which the “Landlord”
would have against Sublandlord under the Master Lease upon a comparable default by “Tenant” thereunder, including,
without limitation, the right to accelerate any rent, to terminate this Sublease and/or, as Sublandlord may elect, to terminate
Subtenant’s right to possess the Subleased Premises.

 

(b)          If
Subtenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other obligation of Subtenant hereunder, then Sublandlord shall
have the right, but not the obligation, after three (3) days’ written notice to Subtenant, or without notice to Subtenant
in the case of any emergency, and without waiving or releasing Subtenant from any obligations of Subtenant hereunder, to make such
payment or perform such other obligation of Subtenant in such manner and to such extent as Sublandlord shall deem necessary, and
in exercising any such right, to pay any incidental costs and expenses, employ attorneys, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’
fees. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord upon demand all sums so paid by Sublandlord and all incidental costs and expenses of Sublandlord
in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per calendar month or any
part thereof or the then maximum lawful interest rate, whichever shall be less, from the date of the making of such expenditures.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

10.         Security
Deposit. Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord upon
execution of this Sublease by Subtenant the sum of $125,000, as security for the faithful performance and observance by
Subtenant of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Sublease (the “Security Deposit”). It is agreed
that in the event Subtenant defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Sublease, including,
but not limited to, the payment of Monthly Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, Sublandlord may apply or retain the whole or any
part of the Security Deposit so deposited and any interest accrued thereon to the extent required for the payment of any rent
and additional rent or any other sum as to which Subtenant is in default or for any sum which Sublandord may expend or may be
required to expend by reason of Subtenant’s default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Sublease. If Sublandlord applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit so deposited, Subtenant, upon demand, shall
deposit with Sublessor the amount so applied or retained so that Sublandlord shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at
all times during the Sublease Term. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions,
covenants and conditions of this Sublease, the Security Deposit thereon shall be returned to Subtenant within thirty (30)
days after the expiration of the Sublease Term (and, if the Security Deposit is not returned to Subtenant within such thirty
(30) day period, the amount of the Security Deposit to be returned by Sublandlord to Subtenant shall bear interest at the
rate of five percent (5%) per annum). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, provided that
Subtenant fully completes construction of the Subtenant Improvements and provides evidence to Sublandlord that such Subtenant
Improvements have been fully paid (such evidence limited to: (i) providing evidence to Sublandlord of all conditional and
final unconditional lien waivers for all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen, (ii) copies of contracts with those
contractors or subcontractors supplying materials or performing work in the space, (iii) copies of invoices and proof of
payment to each such contractor, subcontractor or materialman, (iv) a certificate signed by Subtenant indicating all
materials and work has been completed, fully paid for and that no disputes as to payment exist), or provided Subtenant elects
by written notice to not make or cause to be made any Subtenant Improvements, and no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Sublandlord agrees to within thirty (30) days thereafter deliver a check to Subtenant in the amount of $75,000.00
(such that the amount of the Security Deposit shall thereafter be $50,000).

 

11.         Consents
and Approvals. In any instance when Sublandlord’s consent or approval is required under this Sublease, Sublandlord’s
refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if such consent or approval has not been obtained
from Overlandlord and, subject to the foregoing, Sublandlord acknowledges that its consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. In the event that Subtenant shall seek the approval by or consent of Sublandlord and Sublandlord shall
fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, Subtenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding or delay of
such approval or consent by Sublandlord, it being intended that Subtenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for injunction
or specific performance and that said remedy of an action for injunction or specific performance shall be available only in those
cases, where Sublandlord shall have expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent.

 

12.         Termination
of Master Lease. If for any reason the term of the Master Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration date of this Sublease,
this Sublease shall thereupon be terminated, and Sublandlord and Subtenant shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder
except for those rights or obligations that expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease. Except for termination
due to condemnation or casualty, Sublandlord shall not voluntarily terminate the Master Lease, nor intentionally take any action
to cause such a termination, without the prior written consent of Subtenant, which consent may be withheld in Subtenant’s
reasonable discretion. Further, Sublandlord shall not modify or amend the Master Lease in any manner that would adversely affect
Subtenant without Subtenant’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Subtenant’s sole discretion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Sublandlord shall
have the right to terminate this Sublease upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Subtenant default hereunder and if
Subtenant is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods hereunder, Sublandlord shall have the further right to terminate
the Master Lease to the extent permitted by, and in conformity with, the terms of Section 28 of the Master Lease.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

13.         Surrender.
At the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall surrender the Subleased Premises as required under
the Master Lease. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged that Subtenant shall remove Sublandlord’s
Property, any trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, furnishings, telephone equipment or other personal property and all other Subtenant
personal property, together with any Subtenant Improvements required to be removed by the terms of this Sublease and make such
repairs and restoration to the Premises as required hereunder and under the Master Lease. Sublandlord may elect to retain or dispose
of in any manner Subtenant’s personal property not removed from the Building and Subleased Premises prior to or upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. Subtenant waives all claims against Sublandlord for any damage to Subtenant
resulting from Sublandlord’s retention or disposition of Subtenant’s personal property. Subtenant shall be liable to
Sublandlord for Sublandlord’s costs for storage, removal or disposal of Subtenant’s personal property.

 

14.         Notices.
Notwithstanding the incorporation of Section 21 of the Master Lease, each notice, demand, request or other communication required
or permitted under the terms of this Sublease shall be in writing and shall be (a) delivered, prepaid, by a nationally recognized
overnight courier, (b) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (c) delivered personally. Any
notice shall be sent, transmitted, or delivered, as the case may be, to Subtenant at the appropriate address set forth below, or
to such other place as Subtenant may from time to time designate in a notice to Sublandlord, or to Sublandlord at the addresses
set forth below, or to such other places as Sublandlord may from time to time designate in a notice to Subtenant. Any notice will
be deemed given (i) the date the overnight courier delivery is made, (ii) the date the registered or certified mail delivery is
made, or (iii) the date personal delivery is made. As of the date of this Sublease, any notices to a party must be sent, transmitted,
or delivered, as the case may be, to the following respective addresses:

15.         Sublease
and Assignment. Subtenant shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, assign, sell, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber
or in any manner Transfer (as defined in Section 10 of the Master Lease) this Sublease or any interest therein, or sublet the Subleased
Premises or any part or parts thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the
Subleased Premises by any person, without the written consent of both Sublandlord and Overlandlord. In connection with any proposed
assignment or subletting of the Subleased Premises, or any portion thereof, by Subtenant, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of the proposed assignment and subletting, Subtenant shall provide Overlandlord and Sublandlord with written notice
of Subtenant’s intent to assign or sublet, which notice shall be accompanied by all information required by, and otherwise
comply with, the requirements set forth in Section 10 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall have the right to withhold its consent
to Transfer for any reason or no reason. For the avoidance of doubt, Subtenant acknowledges that Overlandlord’s consent shall
be deemed to be reasonably withheld for any reason, including, without limitation those set forth in Section 10 of the Master Lease
and that Overlandlord has a recapture right as described in the Master Lease. Whether or not Overlandlord or Sublandlord consents
to a proposed assignment or sublease, Subtenant shall be responsible for paying Overlandlord’s processing and investigation
costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the proposed consent. Neither the consent of Sublandlord or Overlandlord
to an assignment, subletting, concession, or license, nor the references in this Sublease to assignees, subtenants, concessionaires
or licensees, shall in any way be construed to relieve Subtenant of the requirement of obtaining the consent of Sublandlord and
Overlandlord to any further assignment or subletting or to the making of any assignment, subletting, concession or license for
all or any part of the Subleased Premises. Any assignee or subtenant approved by Overlandlord and Sublandlord shall execute an
agreement reasonably acceptable to Overlandlord and Sublandlord pursuant to which such assignee or subtenant agrees to be bound
by the terms of this Sublease. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, any assignment or subletting
permitted or consented to, the original Subtenant named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant shall
remain fully liable on this Sublease, and if this Sublease shall be amended or modified, the original Subtenant named herein and
any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant shall remain fully liable on this Sublease as so amended or modified.
Any violation of any provision of this Sublease by any assignee, subtenant or other occupant shall be deemed a violation by the
original Subtenant named herein, the then Subtenant and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Subtenant, it being the
intention and meaning that the original Subtenant named herein, the then Subtenant and any other person(s) who at any time was
or were Subtenant shall all be liable to Sublandlord for any and all acts and omissions of any and all assignees, subtenants and
other occupants of the Subleased Premises. If this Sublease shall be assigned or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof
shall be sublet or occupied by any person or persons other than the original Subtenant named herein, Sublandlord may collect rent
from any such assignee and/or any subtenants or occupants, and apply the net amounts collected to the Monthly Fixed Rent and Additional
Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section,
or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Subtenant, or a release of any person from the further performance
by such person of the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease. Any Transfer made, or purported to have been made, in violation
of this Section 15 or Section 20 of the Master Lease, shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

16.         Limitation
of Liability. In the event Sublandlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Sublease upon Sublandlord’s
part required to be performed, or if Subtenant shall make any claim arising out of Subtenant’s occupancy or use of the Subleased
Premises based upon any action or omission of Sublandlord, Subtenant covenants and agrees that Sublandlord’s liability for
any recovery of money judgment from Sublandlord from and after the date of this Sublease, except as a result of Sublandlord’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be capped at six (6) months Fixed Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the foregoing, if Subtenant has timely paid Fixed Rent and Additional Rent to Sublandlord hereunder and no Subtenant
Event of Default has occurred, the Sublandlord limitation of liability in the preceding sentence shall not apply if Sublandlord
shall fail to pay Fixed Rent or Additional Rent to Overlandlord and such failure results in a termination of the Master Lease.
In no event shall the stockholders, partners, directors, officers, agents or employees of Sublandlord or Subtenant (either individually
or severally) be personally liable for any judgment. Furthermore, in no event shall Subtenant be liable to the other for any loss
of business or profits or for consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive or special damages of any kind. This Section shall
inure to the benefit of Sublandlord’s and Subtenant’s respective successors and assigns and their respective principals.

 

17.         Casualty
Damage; Partial Taking. Notwithstanding the incorporation herein of Section 14 of the Master Lease pertaining to damage to
the Subleased Premises by fire or other casualty or of Section 15 of the Master Lease pertaining to a partial taking, Sublandlord
shall have no responsibility for the obligations of Overlandlord thereunder, and Subtenant shall look solely to Overlandlord in
connection therewith; provided that Sublandlord, if and as requested by Subtenant, shall exercise its termination rights under
such sections of the Master Lease. To the extent that any portion of rent payable by the tenant under the Master Lease is abated
pursuant to such sections or otherwise, Subtenant shall be entitled to a corresponding abatement of rent hereunder, calculated
as the rent otherwise payable by Subtenant multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of rentable square feet
within the Subleased Premises for which the abatement is being given and the denominator of which is total number of rentable square
feet in the Subleased Premises.

 

18.         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Subtenant
NAICS Code. For purposes of Section 8 under the Lease, Subtenant’s NAICS Code is 541211.

Subtenant have any obligation hereunder, unless and until this instrument has been executed by and delivered to the parties and
Overlandlord’s Consent has been received.

including attorneys’ fees incurred by such party in conjunction with any claim or claims, of any other broker or brokers
claiming to have dealings with respect to this Sublease. Sublandlord shall pay all fees owed the Designated Brokers.

Execution Version 

COOPERATION AGREEMENT 

This Cooperation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 19, 2019 by and among Flotek
Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the entities and natural persons set forth in the signature pages hereto (collectively, “BLR Partners”) (each of the Company and BLR Partners, a
“Party” to this Agreement, and collectively, the “Parties”). 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, BLR Partners has a combined beneficial and economic ownership interest in shares of common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) totaling, in the aggregate, 1,616,000 shares, or approximately 2.8% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement (“BLR
Partners’ Ownership”); 
 WHEREAS, BLR Partners submitted a letter to the Company on January 24, 2019 (the
“Nomination Letter”) nominating two directors to be elected to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2019 Annual
Meeting”); and 
 WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company and BLR Partners have determined to come to an agreement
with respect to the addition of Mr. Paul W. Hobby to the Board, the withdrawal by BLR Partners of the Nomination Letter and the director nominations made pursuant to the Nomination Letter, and certain other matters, each as provided in
this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 

1.    Board Appointment and Related Agreements. 

(a)    Board Appointment. 

(i)    The Company agrees that immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Board and all applicable
committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to increase the size of the Board from seven (7) to eight (8) directors and to appoint Mr. Hobby to the Board. Mr. Hobby shall stand for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting
together with the Company’s other nominees. 
 (ii)    The Company will recommend, support and solicit proxies for
the election of Mr. Hobby at the 2019 Annual Meeting in the same manner as for the Company’s other nominees at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2019 Annual Meeting no later than
May 31, 2019. 

 (iii)    If Mr. Hobby (or any BLR Replacement Director (as defined
below)) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director (including as the result of the receipt of a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election at the 2019
Annual Meeting) or is removed as a director prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (as defined below), and at such time BLR Partners’ Ownership is at least the lesser of (i) 2.0% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock and
(ii) 1,147,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments) (the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), BLR Partners shall have the ability to recommend a
substitute person(s) in accordance with this Section 1(a)(iii) (any such replacement nominee shall be referred to as a “BLR Replacement Director”). Any BLR Replacement Director must (A) qualify as
“independent” of the Company pursuant to NYSE listing standards, (B) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company, (C) be reasonably acceptable to the Board and (D) be independent of
BLR Partners (for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination by BLR Partners of such person to serve on the board of any other company shall not (in and of itself) cause such person to not be deemed independent of BLR Partners). The Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee shall make its determination and recommendation regarding whether such person meets the foregoing criteria within ten (10) business days after (1) such nominee as a BLR Replacement Director has submitted to the
Company the documentation required by Section 1(e)(vi) and (2) representatives of the Board have conducted a customary interview of such nominee. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct any
interview(s) contemplated by this section as promptly as practicable, but in any case, assuming reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days after BLR Partners’ submission of such nominee. In the event the
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not accept a person recommended by BLR Partners as the BLR Replacement Director (it being acknowledged that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee cannot unreasonably withhold its
approval), BLR Partners shall have the right to recommend an additional substitute person whose appointment shall be subject to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures described
above. Upon the recommendation of a BLR Replacement Director nominee by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such BLR Replacement Director to the Board no later than ten (10) business
days after the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommendation of such BLR Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such BLR Replacement Director to the Board (it being acknowledged that
the Board cannot unreasonably withhold its approval) pursuant to this Section 1(a)(iii), the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 1(a)(iii) until a BLR Replacement
Director is elected to the Board. Upon a BLR Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall consider whether such BLR Replacement Director has the necessary qualifications to be
appointed to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal, and shall appoint such BLR Replacement Director to either such committees or, if the
qualifications for such committees are not met, to alternative committees of the Board. Any BLR Replacement Director designated pursuant to this Section 1(a)(iii) replacing Mr. Hobby prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting
shall stand for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting together with the Company’s other nominees. 
 (b)    BLR
Appointee Committee Representation. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to appoint Mr. Hobby as a member of the Company’s
Strategic Capital Committee and as a member of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board. 

  
 2 

 (c)    Director Resignation. 

(i)    During the time period starting on the date immediately following the 2019 Annual Meeting and ending on
October 30, 2019 (the “October Meeting Date”), the Company agrees that the Board shall, acting in good faith in a manner consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities under applicable law, determine and procure the resignation
of one director from the Board (provided, that such director shall not be Mr. Hobby or Mr. David Nierenberg), with such resignation to become effective as of the October Meeting Date (the “Resignation”). 

(ii)    The Company agrees that immediately following the Resignation, the Board shall take all necessary actions to
decrease the size of the Board from eight (8) to seven (7) directors. The Company further agrees that from the October Meeting Date until the expiration of the Standstill Period, the Board shall not increase the size of the Board to more
than seven (7) directors unless such increase is unanimously approved by the Board. 
 (d)    Separation of
Chairman and CEO Roles. 
 (i)    The Board agrees to separate the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer effective as of the 2019 Annual Meeting. 
 (ii)    In connection with separating the roles of
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the Board agrees to elect Mr. Nierenberg as Chairman of the Board effective as of the 2019 Annual Meeting. 

(e)    Additional Agreements. 

(i)    BLR Partners agrees that it will cause its controlled Affiliates and Associates (each as defined below) to comply
with the terms of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such controlled Affiliate or Associate. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have
the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder
(the “Exchange Act”) and shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement. 

(ii)    BLR Partners hereby irrevocably withdraws the Nomination Letter and the director nominations made pursuant to the
Nomination Letter. 
 (iii)    Upon execution of this Agreement, BLR Partners hereby agrees that it will not, and that
it will not permit any of its controlled Affiliates or Associates to, (A) nominate or recommend for nomination any person for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly (except as provided in
Section 1(a)), (B) submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2019 Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly, or (C) initiate, encourage or participate in any “vote no,”
“withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2019 Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly. BLR Partners shall not publicly or privately encourage or support any other stockholder to take any of the actions described in this
Section 1(e)(iii). 

  
 3 

 (iv)    BLR Partners agrees that it will appear in person or by proxy
at the 2019 Annual Meeting and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BLR Partners at the 2019 Annual Meeting (A) in favor of the slate of directors recommended by the Board, (B) in accordance with the Board’s
recommendation with respect to the Company’s “say-on-pay” proposal, (C) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to the
frequency of stockholder advisory votes on “say-on-pay” proposals and (D) in accordance with the Board’s recommendations with respect to any other
matter presented to stockholders of the Company for consideration; provided, however, that in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) or Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass
Lewis”) recommends otherwise with respect to any proposals (other than the election of directors or the “say-on-pay” proposals referenced in the

Houston, March 20, 2019 — Flotek Industries, Inc. (“Flotek” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FTK) today announced
that as part of its ongoing commitment to strong corporate governance, the Board has decided to separate the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective as of the 2019 Annual Meeting. John W. Chisholm will remain as the President and CEO
of Flotek. In connection with separating the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO, the Board has determined to elect David Nierenberg as Chairman of the Board effective as of the 2019 Annual Meeting. Mr. Nierenberg will continue to serve as
Chairman of the Strategic Capital Committee, which is currently reviewing a wide range of options to determine how Flotek will deploy the remaining net proceeds from the sale of Florida Chemical Company, LLC (“FCC”). L.V. “Bud”
McGuire will continue in the role of Lead Independent Director. 
 Additionally, Flotek has increased the size of its Board of Directors from seven to eight
directors and has appointed Paul Hobby to the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Hobby shall stand for re-election at the 2019 Annual Meeting together with the Company’s other nominees. The Board
has also appointed Mr. Hobby to the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Company’s Strategic Capital Committee. 

These initiatives follow constructive dialogue and collaboration with BLR Partners LP (“BLR”), a Flotek shareholder, regarding the Company’s
strategic plans and Board composition. 
 “We appreciate the input we have received from BLR and all of our shareholders. I look forward to working
with David, Paul and the rest of the Board to execute our plan and increase value for shareholders,” said Mr. Chisholm. “We have executed a number of value-creating initiatives including the sale of the FCC business and continued
cost-cutting programs to improve long-term margins. We are now refocusing the growth strategy of our Energy Chemistry Technologies segment to position it for enhanced long-term performance.” 

Mr. Nierenberg commented, “I believe that Flotek has significant turnaround potential and I am excited to take on the role of Chairman at this important
juncture. I look forward to working closely with John and the Board and welcome the contributions and expertise of our new director, Paul Hobby. This Board will continue to take the necessary actions to enhance performance and create value for our
shareholders.” 
 Flotek and BLR have entered into an agreement under which BLR has agreed to certain customary standstill, voting and other provisions
with Flotek. The complete agreement will be filed in a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
