 SECTION 3. REGISTRATION. 

(a) Intentionally Omitted . 

(b) Registration Statement Covering Resale of Common Stock. The Company shall file with the Commission a Registration Statement on
Form S-3, or such other form as may be appropriate and available (a “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”), under Rule 415 relating to the resale by the Holders of their Registrable Shares. The Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the Commission for all of the Registrable Shares covered thereby within fifteen (15) months after the closing of the IPO. The Company agrees to use
its reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (or a successor Registration Statement filed with respect to the Registrable Shares), after its date of effectiveness, continuously effective until all Registrable Shares
have been disposed of by the Holders or shall have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Shares. To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “WKSI”) at the time
that a Resale Registration Statement is to be filed, the Company may file an automatic shelf registration statement which covers such Registrable Shares or, in lieu of filing a new Resale Registration Statement, may file a Prospectus pursuant to
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) or post-effective amendment, as applicable, to include, in accordance with Rule 430B under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the registration of the resale of such
Registrable Shares by the Holder in an automatic shelf registration statement previously filed by the Company (in each case, such Prospectus together with such previously filed Registration Statement will be considered the Resale Registration
Statement). The Holder will not offer or sell, without the Company’s consent, any Registrable Shares by means of any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that is required to be filed by the
Holder with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act (any free writing prospectus consented to by the Company, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”). 

(c) Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Holder of the effectiveness of any Registration Statement
applicable to the Shares and shall furnish to the Holders such number of copies of such Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all
related amendments and supplements, if any) and any documents incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Shares in the
manner described in such Registration Statement. 
 (d) Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement (or a successor Registration Statement filed with respect
to such Registrable Shares) effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Shares covered thereby until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have
been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders pursuant to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, or (ii) the date on which the Registration Statement is no longer required to be effective
under the terms of this Agreement. Upon twenty (20) Business Days’ notice, the Company shall file any 

  
 4 

 
supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement with respect to the plan of distribution or a Holder’s ownership interests in his,
her or its Registrable Shares (including an Assignee becoming a Holder hereunder) that is reasonably necessary to permit the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company shall file any necessary
listing applications or amendments to the existing applications to cause the Shares registered under any Registration Statement to be then listed or quoted on the NYSE or such other primary exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is
then listed or quoted. 
 (e) Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall promptly notify each Holder in writing of the filing of
any Registration Statement or Prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment, provided, however, that this Section 3(e) shall
not apply to (i) an amendment or supplement relating solely to securities other than the Registrable Shares, and (ii) an amendment or supplement by means of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a Proxy Statement
on Schedule 14A, a Current Report on Form 8-K or a Registration Statement on Form 8-A or any amendments thereto filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement
or prospectus. 
 At any time when a Prospectus relating to a Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by
a Holder to a transferee, the Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the happening of any event as a result of which the Company believes the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In such event, the Company shall
promptly prepare and, if applicable, furnish to the Holders a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Registrable Shares sold under
the Prospectus, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not misleading. The Company shall, if necessary, promptly amend the Registration Statement of which such Prospectus is a part to reflect such amendment or supplement. Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
occurrence of an event as set forth above, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to any Registration Statement covering such Registrable Shares until such Holder’s receipt of written notice from the
Company that the use of the Registration Statement may be resumed. Each Holder also agrees that such Holder will treat as confidential the receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of an event as set forth above and shall not disclose
or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by a Holder
in breach of the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4. STATE SECURITIES LAWS. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge
that, generally, pursuant to Section 18 of the Securities Act, no state securities laws requiring, or with respect to, registration or qualification of securities or securities transactions will apply to a

  
 5 

 
security that is a “covered security” (as defined therein). “Covered securities,” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act, includes securities listed or
authorized for listing on the NYSE (or certain other national securities exchanges) and securities of the same issuer that are equal in seniority or senior to such securities. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to
constitute covered securities by maintaining the listing of the Common Stock on the NYSE or such other qualifying national securities exchange. In the event that the Shares cease to constitute covered securities, subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement, the Company shall, at the expense of the Company, file such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the Registrable Shares under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states as the Holders may reasonably
request, and use its reasonable efforts to cause such filings to become effective in a timely manner; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such
state in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to service of process in any such state. Once such filings are effective, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts, at the expense of the Company, to keep such filings
effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been disposed of by the Holders, (ii) in the case of a particular state, the Holders have notified the Company that it no longer requires an effective
filing in such state in accordance with its original request for filing or (iii) the date on which the Shares covered by such filing cease to constitute Registrable Shares. 

SECTION 5. EXPENSES. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the
Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Company’s performance of its other obligations under the terms of this Agreement. The Holders shall bear all underwriting fees, discounts, commissions, or taxes (including transfer taxes)
attributable to the sale of securities by the Holders, or any legal fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders and any underwriter engaged by Holders and all other expenses incurred in connection with the performance by the Holders of their
obligations under the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Shares, its officers, directors, agents, partners, members, employees, managers, advisors, attorneys, representatives and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against, as incurred, any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus, or free writing prospectus relating to the Registrable Shares (in each case, as amended or supplemented
if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or that arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, (with respect to any preliminary prospectus, prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are
based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission included in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder or on such Holder’s behalf expressly for
inclusion therein. 

  
 6 

 SECTION 7. COVENANTS OF HOLDERS. Each of the Holders hereby agrees (i) to
cooperate with the Company and to furnish to the Company all such information concerning its plan of distribution and ownership interests with respect to its Registrable Shares in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement with
respect to such Holder’s Registrable Shares and any filings pursuant to state securities laws as the Company may reasonably request, (ii) to deliver or cause delivery of the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement to any
purchaser of the shares covered by such Registration Statement from such Holder and (iii) severally but not jointly or jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys,
representatives and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to such Holder, but only with respect to information relating to such Holder included in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Holder or on such Holder’s behalf expressly for use in any
registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or free writing prospectus relating to the Registrable Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided that the liability of each Holder shall be limited to the gross proceeds
received by such Holder from the sale of its Registrable Shares pursuant to any such registration statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys,
representatives or Affiliates or any such controlling person, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Holder, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company or its officers, directors, agents,
employees, attorneys, representatives or Affiliates or such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to such Holder, by Section 8 hereof. 

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7 hereof, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may
be sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all
fees and expenses; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice will not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any obligations under Section 6 or Section 7, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced by such failure; provided further, that the failure to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise under Section 6 or Section 7. In any such proceeding,
any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually
agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) representation of the Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm
shall be designated in writing by (a) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Holders which owned a majority of the Registrable Shares sold under the applicable registration statement and

  
 7 

 
(b) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 7, the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by
reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding without any admission of
liability by such Indemnified Party. 
 SECTION 9. SUSPENSION OF REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT; RESTRICTION ON SALES. 

The Company shall promptly notify each Holder in writing of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Shares or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness
of such a Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after the issuance thereof. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in this Agreement, the Company’s obligation under this Agreement to file, amend or supplement a Registration Statement, or to cause a Registration Statement, or any filings under any state securities laws, to become or remain effective
shall be suspended, for up to two periods in any 12-month period, each not to exceed 60 days, in the event of pending negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a transaction or the occurrence of an event that (i) would require additional
disclosure of material information by the Company in the Registration Statement or such filing, as to which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving confidentiality, or (ii) render the Company unable to comply with Commission
requirements, or (iii) would otherwise make it impractical or unadvisable to cause the Registration Statement or such filings to be filed, amended or supplemented or to become effective (any such circumstances being hereinafter referred to as a
“Suspension Event”). The Company shall notify the Holders of the existence of any Suspension Event by promptly delivering to each Holder a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company stating that a Suspension Event has
occurred and is continuing. 
 Each Holder agrees that, following the effectiveness of any Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Shares of such Holder, such Holder will not effect any dispositions of any of the Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or any filings under any state securities laws at any time after such Holder has received notice from the Company to
suspend dispositions as a result of the occurrence or existence of any Suspension Event or so that the Company may correct or update the Registration Statement or such filing. The Holders may recommence effecting dispositions of the Shares pursuant
to the Registration Statement or such filings, and all other obligations which are suspended as a result of a Suspension Event shall no longer be so suspended, following further notice to such effect from the Company, which notice shall be given by
the Company promptly after the conclusion of any such Suspension Event. 

  
 8 

 Each Holder of Registrable Shares further agrees, if requested by the Company in the case of a
Company-initiated non-underwritten offering registered under the Securities Act (excluding any offerings or issuances registered on Form S-8 or any similar registration form) if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in a
Company-initiated underwritten offering (each, a “Company Offering”), not to effect any disposition of any of the Shares during the period (the “Offering Blackout Period”) beginning upon receipt by such Holder of
written notice from the Company, but in any event no earlier than the fifteenth (15th) day preceding the anticipated date of pricing of such Company Offering, and ending no later than ninety (90) days after the closing date of such Company
Offering; provided that in no event shall any individual Offering Blackout Period extend for longer than one hundred and twenty (120) days. Such Offering Blackout Period notice shall be in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and, if applicable, the managing underwriter or underwriters. The Company agrees that the Holders shall not be restricted as set forth in this paragraph with respect to more than two (2) Offering Blackout Periods in any 12-month period;
provided that any Offering Blackout Period that is terminated within twenty (20) of its initiation shall not be counted for purposes of this paragraph. The Company agrees that if it shall commence an Offering Blackout Period and thereafter determine
not to proceed with the offering giving rise to such Offering Blackout Period, the Company shall promptly advise the Holders of such determination and terminate the Offering Blackout Period. 

Each Holder agrees that such Holder will treat as confidential the receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of an event
relating to a Suspension Event or an Offering Blackout Period and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena until such time as the
information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by a Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. 

SECTION 10. ADDITIONAL SHARES. The Company, at its option, may register, under any Registration Statement and any filings
under any state securities laws filed pursuant to this Agreement, any number of unissued, treasury, Common Stock or other securities of or owned by the Company and any of its subsidiaries or any Common Stock or other securities of the Company owned
by any other security holder or security holders of the Company. 
 SECTION 11. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification
provided for in Sections 6 and 7 hereof is unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnified Party harmless as
contemplated therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that in no event shall the obligation of any 

  
 9 

 
Indemnifying Party to contribute under this Section 11 exceed the amount that such Indemnifying Party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification
provided for under Sections 6 or 7 hereof had been available under the circumstances. 
 The Company and the Holders agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Holder shall be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Indemnified
Party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of a
Holder to contribute pursuant to this Section 11, if any, are several in proportion to the proceeds actually received by such Holder bears to the total proceeds received by all holders and not joint. 

SECTION 12. NO OTHER OBLIGATION TO REGISTER. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company shall
have no obligation to the Holders to register the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act. 
 SECTION 13. AMENDMENTS AND
WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, in each case without the
prior written consent of the Company and the Holders (including Assignees) that are parties to this Agreement and hold a majority of the aggregate of the outstanding Registrable Shares. 

SECTION 14. NOTICES. Except as set forth below, all notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when and if delivered personally or sent by facsimile (with respect to notice by facsimile, on a Business Day between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., New York time), five
(5) Business Days after being sent if mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, or one Business Day after being sent if sent by courier or overnight delivery service to the respective parties at the

the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 7 hereof, the Holder must confirm such notice in writing by overnight express delivery with confirmation of receipt:

WHEREAS, the Contributor has entered into a Contribution Agreement dated as of January 26, 2015 by and among the (i) Company,
(ii) Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and (iii) the Contributor, Courthouse Management, Inc., a California corporation, and Western Devcon Inc., a California

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

Company (or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting at which Directors are to be elected) who is either serving as a Director or whose nomination or appointment to the Board is pending.

ARTICLE II– DIRECTOR NOMINATION RIGHTS 

Section 2.1 Director Nomination Rights. 

(a) Except as provided in this Agreement, for so long as the Contributor or any entity controlled by the Contributor owns of
record an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units representing ten percent (10%) or more of the then outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (assuming all securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common
Stock, including all OP Units not held directly or indirectly by the Company, are converted or exchanged into or redeemed for shares of Common Stock), the Contributor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate one individual for
nomination to the Board at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting at which all Directors are to be elected). The Contributor shall provide such certifications regarding the beneficial
ownership of shares of Common Stock and OP Units by the Contributor as may reasonably be requested by the Company in order to confirm the Contributor’s rights pursuant to this Agreement. 

(b) For each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the Contributor shall submit in writing to the Company the name
of an individual the Contributor is designating for nomination to the Board (the “Designation Notice”), if any, at least 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the proxy

  
 2 

 
statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that with respect to the 2016 annual meeting,
a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting at which all Directors are to be elected, or in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding
year’s annual meeting, the Designation Notice to be timely must be so submitted not later than the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such meeting or the tenth day following the day
on which public announcement or notice to the Contributor of the date of such meeting is first made. In the event the Contributor has not provided the Designation Notice within the time period set forth above for a meeting, the Contributor will be
deemed to have designated the Contributor Designee currently serving on the Board for reelection at such meeting. 
 (c) At
each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting at which Directors are to be elected), the Board shall nominate the Contributor Designee for election at such meeting, solicit proxies (or cause
the Company to solicit proxies) in favor of the election of the Contributor Designee in a manner consistent with its solicitation of proxies for the election of all other Director candidates nominated by the Board and recommend that the stockholders
of the Company elect to the Board the Contributor Designee. Neither the Board nor the Company shall take any action to oppose the election of the Contributor Designee, including, without limitation, nominating for election to the Board more
individuals than the number of Director seats available or recommending that stockholders vote in favor of any nominee opposing the Contributor Designee. 

(d) If the Board becomes classified, the Contributor Designee shall be placed in the class with the earliest expiring term.
With respect to each subsequent annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting at which Directors are to be elected) occurring at a time when the Board is classified, the Contributor may designate
an individual for nomination to the Board only if the term of such Contributor Designee placed with in the class with the earliest expiring term is expiring in such year. 

Section 2.2 Director Qualifications. 

(a) No individual may be designated by the Contributor for nomination or appointment to the Board at any time: (i) if,
within ten years of such time, any of the events described in Items 401(f)(2)-(8) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any successor regulation) occurred, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, concludes that
disclosure of such event would not be required, (ii) if such individual would be prohibited by applicable law from serving as a Director or (iii) if a majority of the members of the Board, other than the Contributor Designee, determine, in
good faith, that such individual’s service as a Director would be materially detrimental to the Company (in which case the Contributor will have 30 days to designate a replacement pursuant to a Designation Notice delivered in accordance with
Section 2.1(b) without giving effect to the deadlines set forth therein). 

  
 3 

 
The Contributor shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that any Contributor Designee satisfies all stated criteria and guidelines for director nominees of the Company. 

(b) Any Contributor Nominee shall be required, as a condition to such individual’s nomination, appointment and service as
a Director, to make such acknowledgements, enter into such agreements and provide such information as the Board requires of all Directors at such time, including without limitation, completing such questionnaires as the Company requires of all
Directors or nominees and agreeing to be bound by the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Statement of Company Policy on Insider Trading and Disclosure, and Special Trading Procedures for Insiders. Any Contributor Designee shall also
be required, as a condition to such individual’s nomination, appointment and service as a Director, to submit an irrevocable conditional resignation to be effective upon the occurrence of a termination in the Contributor’s director
nomination rights pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and the Board’s formal acceptance of such resignation following such termination. The Company also agrees that it will provide indemnification, advancement of expenses, directors’
and officers’ liability insurance and compensation for service as a director to the Contributor Designee who is a Director on the same basis, and in the same manner, as it does for all other non-employee Directors. 

Section 2.3 Vacancies. 

In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of any Contributor Designee,
the Contributor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee of the Contributor, and, in such a case, the Company hereby agrees to take all reasonable actions necessary to
accomplish the same. 
 ARTICLE III-BOARD OBSERVER RIGHTS 

Section 3.1 Board Observer Rights 

For so long as the Contributor Designee is serving on the Board pursuant to Section 2.1(a), in addition to any right to designate
an individual to serve as a member of the Board, the Contributor shall have the right to designate an individual from time to time who shall serve as a representative of the Contributor and shall have the right to attend all meetings (whether held
in person, by telephone or otherwise) of the Board. The Company shall provide to such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to the members of the Board from time to time (at the same time and
in the same manner as provided to such directors and whether or not in connection with a meeting); provided, however, that such representative shall have agreed in writing to be bound by any restrictions on use and disclosure of information as
reasonably requested by the Company; and provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting, documentation or portion thereof if (i) the Board of Directors
determines in good faith and upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or (ii) to the extent such discussion or documentation involves the
discussion of any commercial or other contractual relationship 

  
 4 

 
between the Company and the Contributor. The Contributor’s representative shall have no rights to vote on any matters presented to the Board and the Chairman of the Board, in his or her sole
discretion, may limit, restrict or terminate such representative’s right to actively participate in any meeting of the Board. 

ARTICLE IV- GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Section 4.1 Termination. 

This Agreement shall automatically terminate at such time as either (i) the Contributor no longer has the right to nominate a Director to
the Board pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or (ii) the Company shall enter into a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction following which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the resulting company were not
members of the Board immediately prior to such transaction. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder; provided that such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach
of this Agreement prior to such termination.

waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and executed by the party so waiving. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be

Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of this Agreement by any of them, the Company (in the case of a
breach by any of the Contributor) or the Contributor (in the case of a breach by the Company) would be irreparably harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. Each party accordingly agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and that the Company and the Contributor, as the case may be, in addition to any other remedy to which they 

  
 6 

 
may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement without the posting of bond. 

Section 4.9 Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no agreements,

this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision,
