 The

advised the Agent, the Term Agent and the Lenders that they desire to increase the aggregate Revolver Commitments by an amount equal to $20,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Revolver Commitment Increase”). The Required Term

 WHEREAS, (i) the
Revolver Lenders have agreed to provide the Revolver Commitment Increase, (ii) the Required Term Lenders have agreed to consent to the Revolver Commitment Increase, and (iii) the Agent, the Term Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend certain

 (ii)    By amending
and restating the definition of “Term Loan Reserve” to read in its entirety as follows:

Revolver Lender without the written consent of such Revolver Lender and, to the extent in connection with an increase in the aggregate Revolver Commitments of all Revolver Lenders, the Required Term Lenders, 

(ii)    by amending and restating clause (i)(i) thereof to read in its entirety as follows:

 3.      Revolver Commitment Increase. The Required Term Lenders hereby consent to

BACKSTOP COMMITMENT 

Section 2.01. The Rights Offering. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Consummation
Approval Order by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company shall conduct the Rights Offering pursuant to and in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures, this Agreement, and the Plan. If reasonably requested by the Required Backstop Parties from time
to time prior to the Rights Offering Expiration Time (and any extensions thereto), the Company shall notify, or cause the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to notify, the Backstop Parties of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights known by the
Company or the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering as of the most recent practicable time before such request. 

Section 2.02. The Backstop Commitment. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Consummation
Approval Order, each Backstop Party hereby (a) agrees, severally and not jointly, to fully exercise all Subscription Rights that are issued to it pursuant to the Rights Offering in respect of its Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims and duly
purchase all Rights Offering Shares issuable to it pursuant to such exercise, in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures and the Plan and (b) grants to the Company an option (collectively, the “Put 

  
 14 

 
Option”) to require such Backstop Party to purchase Unsubscribed Shares on the Closing Date subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon the exercise of the Put
Option, each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell to such Backstop Party, on the Closing Date, the number of Unsubscribed Shares equal to such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment
Percentage of the aggregate amount of Unsubscribed Shares, rounded among the Backstop Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the Backstop Parties may determine in their sole discretion. The obligations of the Backstop Parties described in this
Section 2.02 shall be referred to as the “Backstop Commitment.” The Company may exercise the Put Option by delivery to each Backstop Party of a written put election notice, provided that the Put Option shall be deemed
to have been exercised by the Company, without the need for delivery of written notice or the taking of any other further action by the Company or any other Person, if the conditions set forth in Section 7.01(e), Section 7.01(f) and Section 7.01(g)
shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement and the Company has not provided the Backstop Parties with written notice that it will not exercise the Put Option. 

Section 2.03. Backstop Party Default. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Backstop Party Default, the Backstop Parties (other than
any Defaulting Backstop Party) shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Backstop Parties of such Backstop Party Default (which notice shall be
given promptly following the occurrence of such Backstop Party Default) (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Backstop Party Replacement Period”) to make arrangements for one or more of the Backstop Parties (other
than the Defaulting Backstop Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such purchase, a “Backstop Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such
amounts based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Backstop Parties or as may otherwise be agreed upon by all of the Backstop Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such Backstop Parties,
the “Replacing Backstop Parties”). Any such Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Backstop Party shall be included in the determination of (x) the Unsubscribed Shares of such Replacing Backstop Party for all purposes
hereunder and (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Backstop Party for purposes of Section 3.01. If a Backstop Party Default occurs, the Outside Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for (A) the Backstop
Party Replacement to be completed within the Backstop Party Replacement Period or (B) the consummation of a Cover Transaction within the Cover Transaction Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Backstop Party
Replacement has not been consummated upon expiration of the Backstop Party Replacement Period and a Cover Transaction has not been consummated prior to the expiration of the Cover Transaction Period, this Agreement may be terminated by either the
Company by written notice to each Backstop Party or by the Required Backstop Parties by written notice to the Company. If a Backstop Party is or becomes a Defaulting Backstop Party, it shall not be entitled to any of the Put Option Premium
hereunder. 
 (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Backstop Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment
Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares. 

  
 15 

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the non-Defaulting Backstop Parties do not elect to
subscribe for all of the Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.03(a) prior to the expiration of the Backstop Party Replacement Period, the Company shall have an additional ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Backstop Party
Replacement Period (such period, the “Cover Transaction Period”) to consummate a Cover Transaction. 
 (d) For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.02 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Backstop Party from liability hereunder in connection with such
Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Party Default. Such Defaulting Backstop Party will be liable to the non-defaulting Parties for money damages and/or specific performance as set forth in Section 10.09. 

Section 2.04. Backstop Escrow Account Funding. (a) Funding Notice. No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Rights Offering Expiration Time, the Rights Offering Subscription Agent shall deliver to each Backstop Party a written notice (the “Funding
Notice”) of (i) the number of Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by the Rights Offering Participants and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor; (ii) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares, if any, and the
aggregate Purchase Price therefor; (iii) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares (based upon such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage) to be issued and sold by the Company to such Backstop Party and the aggregate Purchase
Price therefor (the “Funding Amount”); (iv) wire instructions for a segregated escrow account to which such Backstop Party shall deliver the Funding Amount (the “Backstop Escrow Account”); and
(v) an estimate of the deadline for delivery of the Funding Amount, which deadline shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days before the expected Effective Date (the “Funding Deadline”). The Company shall cause
an additional notice of the Funding Deadline (“Additional Funding Notice”) to be provided after the Confirmation Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the Funding Deadline shall be a minimum of
five (5) Business Days after the date of such Additional Funding Notice. The Rights Offering Subscription Agent shall promptly provide any written backup, information and documentation relating to the information contained in the Funding Notice
or Additional Funding Notice as any Backstop Party may reasonably request. 
 (b) Backstop Escrow Account Funding. No later than the
Funding Deadline, each Backstop Party shall deliver and pay its Funding Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Backstop Escrow Account in satisfaction of such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment. The
Backstop Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent acceptable to the Backstop Parties and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Required Backstop Parties and the Company. The funds held in
the Backstop Escrow Account shall be released, and each Backstop Party shall receive from the Backstop Escrow Account the cash amount actually funded to the Backstop Escrow Account by such Backstop Party, without any interest accrued thereon,
promptly following (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the Outside Date if, by such date, the Closing Date has not occurred. 

  
 16 

 Section 2.05. Closing. (a) Subject to Article 7, unless otherwise mutually
agreed in writing between the Company and the Required Backstop Parties, the closing of the Backstop Commitments (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 600 Travis Street, Suite 3300,
Houston, Texas 77002 on the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article 7 shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” 

(b) At the Closing, the funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account shall be released and utilized as set forth and in accordance with Section
6.15 and the Plan. 
 (c) At the Closing, issuance of the Unsubscribed Shares will be made by the Company to the account of each Backstop
Party (or to such other accounts as any Backstop Party may designate in accordance with this Agreement) against payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Unsubscribed Shares of such Backstop Party. The entry of any Unsubscribed Shares to be
delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) into the account of a Backstop Party pursuant to the Company’s book entry procedures and delivery to such Backstop Party of an account statement reflecting the book entry of such Unsubscribed Shares
shall be deemed delivery of such Unsubscribed Shares for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Unsubscribed Shares will be delivered with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar
Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any) in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Company. 
 Section 2.06.
Designation and Assignment Rights. (a) Each Backstop Party shall have the right to designate by written notice to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that some or all of its Unsubscribed Shares
be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more of its Related Funds upon receipt by the Company of payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, which notice of designation shall (i) be addressed to the Company and signed by
such Backstop Party and each Related Fund, (ii) specify the number of Unsubscribed Shares to be delivered to or issued in the name of such Related Fund and (iii) contain a confirmation by such Related Fund of the accuracy of the
representations set forth in Sections 5.06 through 5.09 as applied to such Related Fund; provided that no such designation pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall relieve such Backstop Party from its obligations under this Agreement. 

(b) Each Backstop Party shall have the right to sell, transfer and assign all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment to a Related Fund;
provided that: (i) such Backstop Party and Related Fund agree in a writing addressed to the Company that such Related Fund shall purchase such portion of such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment; (ii) each Backstop Party
confirms in writing its good faith belief that all of the representations and warranties in Article 5 are accurate with respect to such Related Fund; and (iii) such Related Fund executes a joinder agreement substantially in the form

  
 17 

 
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”) and delivers an executed copy thereof to the Company (a Related Fund party to a Joinder Agreement shall be
referred to as a “Permitted Backstop Commitment Transferee”). 
 (c) Each Backstop Party, severally and not jointly,
agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, assign or otherwise transfer, at any time prior to the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any
Person other than in accordance with Sections 2.03, 2.06(a), 2.06(b), 6.08, 6.09, 7.02, 10.07 or any other provision of this Agreement which expressly permits such assignment or transfer. After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit
or restrict in any way any Backstop Party’s ability to Transfer any of its shares of New Common Stock or any interest therein; provided that any such Transfer shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder and pursuant to applicable securities Laws. 
 ARTICLE 3 

PUT OPTION PREMIUM AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT 

Section 3.01. Fees Payable by the Company. Subject to Section 3.02, as consideration for the Put Option, the Backstop Commitment
and the other agreements of the Backstop Parties in this Agreement, the Debtors shall pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable aggregate fee in an amount equal to 5.0% of the Rights Offering Amount, calculated in accordance with Section 3.02 to the
Backstop Parties (including any Replacing Backstop Party, but excluding any Defaulting Backstop Party) or their designees based upon their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages at the time the payment is made (the “Put Option

Fees. The Put Option Premium shall be fully earned upon entry of the BCA Consummation Approval Order and shall be paid by the Debtors on the Closing Date, or, if the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated pursuant to Section 9.02(b). For

be made as and when due and payable by issuance of shares of New Common Stock in book-entry form to the Person(s) specified by each Backstop Party to the Company in writing. Cash payments of the Put Option Premium, if applicable, shall

  
 18 

 
be made as and when due and payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the accounts specified by each Backstop Party to the Company in writing. Except as provided
for in Section 2.03, the Put Option Premium will be nonrefundable and non-avoidable when paid.

and implementation of the Backstop Commitment and the Rights Offering, including the Backstop Parties’ negotiation, preparation and implementation of this Agreement (including the Backstop Commitment and the other transactions contemplated
hereby), the Plan, the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases, the Registration Rights Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and in each case subject to any limitations that may be separately agreed in writing between the
Company and the applicable Backstop Party (the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Expense Reimbursement accrued through the date on which the BCA Consummation Approval Order is entered shall be paid within ten (10) Business
Days thereof. The Debtors shall pay such invoices within ten (10) calendar days of receipt thereof.

and negotiations with respect to any Alternate Transaction, and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall instruct and direct their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly,

provide any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any Person that is seeking to make, or has
made, an Alternate Transaction Proposal. It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 6.06(a) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative thereof shall be a material breach of this
Section 6.06 by the Company. 

  
 42 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), if following the date of this Agreement
(1) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives a bona fide unsolicited proposal or offer (whether written or unwritten) for an Alternate Transaction (an “Alternate Transaction Proposal”) from any Person not
solicited by the Company or its Subsidiaries in violation of this Section 6.06 and (2) the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and independent financial advisor, that such Alternate Transaction
Proposal, which must be in writing, constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Transaction and that failure of the Board to pursue such Alternate Transaction Proposal would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of
the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Laws (a “Superior Proposal”), the Company may, in response to such Superior Proposal: (x) furnish non-public information in response to a request therefor by such Person
if such Person has executed and delivered to the Company a confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided to each of the Backstop Parties within 24 hours of execution thereof) on terms no less favorable than any Backstop Party
Confidentiality Agreement and if the Company also promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after the time such information is provided to such Person) makes such information available to the Backstop Parties, to the extent not previously provided
to the Backstop Parties; and (y) engage or participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person regarding such Superior Proposal. The Company shall also notify the Backstop Parties promptly if the Board determines that an Alternate
Transaction Proposal is a Superior Proposal no later than 24 hours following such determination. 
 (c) The Company shall notify the
Backstop Parties promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) if any Alternate Transaction Proposals are received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it
or its Subsidiaries or its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the parties and the material terms and conditions of any Alternate Transaction Proposal (including, if applicable,
copies of any and all written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers, including any draft of proposed agreements received or sent by the Company, also within 24 hours) and, thereafter, the Company shall keep the Backstop Parties reasonably
informed of the status and terms of any such Alternate Transaction Proposals (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified.
None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to the Backstop Parties. 

(d) Subject to the Company’s compliance with this Section 6.06, prior to the earlier of the occurrence of the Closing Date and the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Board may approve a Superior Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 6.06 that the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and
its independent financial advisor, constitutes a Superior Transaction, if and only if, (1) prior to taking such action the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would
reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the directors’ 

  
 43 

 
fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; (2) the Board notifies the Backstop Parties in writing at least five (5) Business Days in advance that it intends to take such action or that the
Company intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f)(ii), which notice shall specify the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and all of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and attach the
most current version of any proposed transaction agreement (and any related agreements) providing for such Superior Proposal; (3) after providing such notice and prior to taking any such action or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section
9.01(f)(ii), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the Backstop Parties during the five (5) Business Day period to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Agreements as would permit the Board not to take such action or terminate this Agreement; and (4) following the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation
with its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor and after taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements proposed by the Backstop Parties, that the Superior Proposal continues to constitute a
Superior Transaction even if such changes proposed by the Backstop Parties were to be given effect. 
 (e) With respect to any Alternate
Transaction that is premised, whether directly or indirectly, on one or more asset sales under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan, each Backstop Party and/or the respective agents under the Prepetition Credit
Agreement (including the collateral agent under and as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement Documents) shall (in the manner provided for in the Prepetition Credit Agreement Documents) have the right to “credit bid” (whether pursuant
to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) all (or such lesser portion as they may determine under the Prepetition Credit Agreement Documents) of the maximum amount of Lender Claims (including all principal, premium, interest (at
the default rate to the extent applicable under the Prepetition Credit Agreement Documents and irrespective of whether permissible under the Bankruptcy Code), penalties, fees, charges, expenses, indemnifications, reimbursements, damages, and all
other amounts and liabilities payable under the Prepetition Credit Agreement Documents) notwithstanding any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable Law (including Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code) to the contrary, subject only
to any applicable term or condition of the Prepetition Credit Agreement Documents, to the extent that such term or condition is found to be enforceable. The BCA Consummation Approval Order shall provide for the foregoing. 

Section 6.07. Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Without in any way limiting any other respective obligation of the Company or any
Backstop Party in this Agreement, the Company shall use (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use), and each Backstop Party shall use, reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably
necessary, proper or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan, including using reasonable best efforts in: 

(i) timely preparing and filing all documentation reasonably necessary to effect all necessary notices, reports and other
filings of such Party and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or Governmental Entity; 

  
 44 

 (ii) defending any Legal Proceedings challenging this Agreement, the Plan or any
other Transaction Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and 

(iii) working together in good faith to finalize the New Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and New Organizational
Documents for timely inclusion in the Plan Supplement and filing with the Bankruptcy Court. 
 (b) Subject to applicable Laws relating to
the exchange of information, the Backstop Parties and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on all of the information relating to Backstop Parties or the Company, as the
case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Plan; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Backstop Parties are required to provide for review in advance declarations or other evidence submitted in connection with any filing with the Bankruptcy Court. In exercising the
foregoing rights, each of the Company and the Backstop Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. 
 (c) Nothing contained
in this Section 6.07 shall limit the ability of any Backstop Party to consult with the Debtors, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Proceedings, so long as such consultation, appearance or
objection is not inconsistent with such Backstop Party’s obligations under Section 6.08. 
 Section 6.08. Support of the
Plan. Each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, that, prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms each Backstop Party will, and it will use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its controlled Affiliates to: (a) timely vote or cause to be voted all of its Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims to accept the Plan by timely delivering a duly executed and completed ballot or
ballots, as applicable, accepting the Plan; (b) not change or withdraw such vote or exercise (or cause or direct such vote or exercise to be changed or withdrawn); (c) consent to the treatment of its Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims
and the treatment of all other claims against and equity interests in the Debtors as set forth in the Plan; and (d) not object to or otherwise commence any proceeding or take any other action opposing any of the terms of the Disclosure
Statement or the Plan, unless, in each case, the Plan is modified in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement or is inconsistent with the RSA.

 Section 6.09. Transfers of Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims.
(a) Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims may be freely transferred subject to the terms of the RSA; provided that if any Backstop Party (together with all of its Affiliates and Related Funds, collectively, the
“Transferring Backstop Party”) agrees to Transfer any Eligible Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and such Transfer will result in such Transferring Backstop Party (together with its Affiliates and
Related Funds) holding less in aggregate principal amount of Eligible Claims than such Transferring Backstop Party’s Trigger Amount after giving effect to such Transfer, such Transferring Backstop Party shall deliver written notice of such
Transfer (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and each other Backstop Party (together with each other Backstop Party’s respective Affiliates and Related Funds, each a
“Non-Transferring Backstop Party”) pursuant to Section 10.01, in each case within two (2) Business Days of the date of the agreement for such Transfer. 

(b) If a Transfer Notice is required pursuant to Section 6.09(a), each Non-Transferring Backstop Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to
assume its Assumable Share of the Assumable Amount of the Transferring Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Transfer Notice. To the extent that not all Non-Transferring Backstop Parties have
elected to assume their Assumable Share of the Assumable Amount, each Backstop Party that elected to assume its Assumable Share of the Assumable Amount may elect to assume the remaining portion of the Assumable Amount on a pro rata basis
(determined by comparing the Backstop Commitment of each Backstop Party that elected to assume its Assumable Share at the time of such election against the aggregate Backstop Commitment of all the Backstop Parties so electing to assume such
remaining portion). Any Backstop Commitment assumed by a Non-Transferring Backstop Party in accordance with this Section 6.09(b), shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such
Backstop Party for purposes of Section 3.01 and (y) the Backstop Commitment of such party for purposes of the definition of Required Backstop Parties. If any Backstop Party that is a Transferring Backstop Party no longer has any Backstop
Commitment following a Transfer effected pursuant to this Section 6.09, it shall automatically cease to be a Party and will no longer have any rights as a Backstop Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be entitled to receive any portion
of the Put Option Premium). 
 (c) Each Backstop Party or Permitted Backstop Commitment Transferee agrees that any Transfer of any
Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims or any other claims against or equity interests in the Debtors that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth in Section 6.09 hereof shall be deemed void ab initio, and the Debtors shall
have the right to avoid such Transfer. To the extent any Backstop Party or Permitted Backstop Commitment Transferee (i) beneficially acquires additional Votable Claims, (ii) beneficially holds or acquires any other claims against the
Debtors or (iii) beneficially holds or acquires any equity interests in the Debtors, each such Backstop Party and Permitted Backstop Commitment Transferee agrees that such claims or equity interests shall be subject to Section 6.08 hereof.

issued hereunder and, at the request of the Backstop Parties, any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Put Option Premium as provided herein, to the extent required under Regulation D of the Securities Act and shall
provide, upon request, a copy thereof to each Backstop Party. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify for sale or
issuance to the Backstop Parties the Unsubscribed Shares issued hereunder pursuant to this Agreement and any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Put Option Premium as provided herein under applicable securities and
“blue sky” Laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification) and any applicable foreign jurisdictions, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Backstop Parties on or prior to
the Closing Date. The Company shall timely make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Unsubscribed Shares issued hereunder and any shares of New Common Stock that may be issued in satisfaction of the Put Option Premium as
provided herein required under applicable securities and “blue sky” Laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this
Section 6.12. 
 Section 6.13. No Integration; No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (as
defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) will, directly or through any agent, sell, offer for sale, solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that
is or will be integrated with the sale of the Rights Offering Shares, the Rights Offering and this Agreement in a manner that would require registration of the New Common Stock to be issued by the Company on the Effective Date under the Securities
Act. None of the Company or any of its affiliates or any other Person acting on its or their behalf will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, any Rights Offering Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. 

  
 47 

 Section 6.14. DTC Eligibility. Unless otherwise requested by the Required Backstop
Parties, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly make, when applicable from time to time after the Closing, all Unlegended Shares eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. “Unlegended Shares”
means any shares of New Common Stock acquired by the Backstop Parties and their respective Affiliates and Related Funds pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan, including all shares issued to the Backstop Parties and their respective Affiliates in
connection with the Rights Offering, that do not require, or are no longer subject to, the Legend. 
 Section 6.15. Use of
Proceeds. The Debtors will apply the proceeds from the exercise of the Subscription Rights and the sale of the Unsubscribed Shares for the purposes identified in the Disclosure Statement and the Plan. 

Section 6.16. Share Legend. Unsubscribed Shares issued hereunder acquired by the Backstop Parties (including any Related Fund)
hereunder or in connection with the Rights Offering shall be represented by uncertificated shares, and such shares shall be subject to a restrictive notation (the “Legend”) in the stock ledger or other appropriate records maintained
by the Company or agent substantially similar to the following form: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [DATE
OF ISSUANCE], HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.” 
 The Legend (for restrictive notation) set forth above shall be
removed from the records at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable. The Company may reasonably request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions no longer apply. 

Section 6.17. Internal Reorganization. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall consummate a corporate reorganization in connection
with the Closing whereby Reorganized C&J Energy shall be a Delaware corporation. Such corporate reorganization shall be consummated pursuant to a reorganization step plan in form and substance acceptable to the Required Backstop Parties. 

Section 6.18. Tax Treatment. The Company and each of the Backstop Parties hereby agrees to treat the rights and obligations
arising under this Agreement, including the Put Option and the Put Option Premium, for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an option to sell property issued by each Backstop Party to the Company in consideration for the Put Option Premium.

 INDEMNIFICATION AND
CONTRIBUTION 
 Section 8.01. Indemnification Obligations. Following the entry of the BCA Consummation Approval Order, the
Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Party, its Affiliates, shareholders,
members, partners and other equity holders, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Backstop Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement, including the last sentence of Section 2.05(c)) (collectively, “Losses”)
that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the RSA, the Chapter 11 Proceedings or any other similar claims and related litigation, the
Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offering, the payment of the Put Option Premium or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offering, or any breach by the Debtors of any
representation, warranty, covenant, 

  
 52 

 
obligation or other provision of this Agreement, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is
a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable and
documented (subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve
or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of
whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses
(a) as to a Defaulting Backstop Party and its Related Parties, caused by a Backstop Party Default by such Backstop Party, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise
from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. 
 Section 8.02. Indemnification Procedure. Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder
against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to
such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article 8. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be
entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof or participation therein, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person;
provided that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal
defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (A) such
Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood

  
 53 

 
that all such expenses shall be reimbursed as they occur), (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such
Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims, (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed or is failing to defend such claim, and is provided written notice of such failure by the
Indemnified Person and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (D) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. 

Section 8.03. Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified
Claims effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise
subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this Article 8. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person
shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article 8, the Indemnifying
Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for
reimbursement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an
Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought
hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance acceptable to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject
matter of such Indemnified Claims and (B) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 

Section 8.04. Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or
insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and
such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion 

  
 54 

 
as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Unsubscribed Shares and the Rights Offering Shares in the Rights Offering
contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Put Option Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their
comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim. 

Section 8.05. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under
this Article 8 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article 8 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the obligations of the Company under this Article 8 shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under Sections 503(b) and
507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Company may comply with the requirements of this Article 8 without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court. 

Section 8.06. No Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the
Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnification and other obligations of the Company pursuant to this Article 8 and the other obligations set forth in Section 9.02 shall survive the Closing Date until the latest date permitted by applicable Law and, if applicable, be assumed by
Reorganized C&J and its Subsidiaries.

	 	2.	Shelf Registration. 

 (a) Shelf Registration. At any time after the Effective
Date, the Required Holders may request that the Company file a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1
Shelf”) or, if available, on Form S-3 (a “Form S-3 Shelf” and, together with the Form S-1 Shelf and any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”); provided that, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, and in any event within 10 calendar days of the date the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 or the latest date the Company would be required
to file a Form 10-K specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations applicable to non-accelerated filers (the “Form 10-K Filing Date”), the Company shall file an initial Shelf Registration Statement without the delivery of
any request from the Required Holders. The Company shall give written notice (a “Company Shelf Registration Notice”) of the anticipated filing of any Shelf Registration Statement within ten (10) Business Days prior to such
filing to all Holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement all Registrable Securities held by Holders on the date of the Company Shelf Registration Notice with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days of the date of the Company Shelf Registration Notice. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as
promptly as practicable and to remain effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold; (ii) the date on which all such securities are no longer Registrable
Securities; and (iii) the maximum length permitted by the Commission (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 (b) Conversion to Form S-3. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to convert any Form S-1 Shelf to a Form S-3 Shelf as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. 
 (c) Automatic Shelf Registration. Further, upon the
Company becoming a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, (i) the Company shall give written notice to all of the Holders as promptly as reasonably practicable, and such notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the basis on which the Company has
become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and (ii) the Company shall, 

  
 6 

 
as promptly as practicable, register, under an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the sale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company
shall use reasonable best efforts to file such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after it becomes a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and to cause such Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement to remain effective thereafter until the end of the Effectiveness Period and shall file additional Automatic Shelf Registration Statements as necessary until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities
included in such registration have been sold; and (ii) the date on which all such securities are no longer Registrable Securities. The Company shall give written notice of filing such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to all of the Holders
as promptly as practicable thereafter. At any time after the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement by the Company, if the Company is no longer a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer (the “Determination Date”), the Company shall
(A) as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 20 calendar days after such Determination Date, give written notice thereof to all of the Holders and (B) within 30 calendar days after such Determination Date, file a Registration
Statement on an appropriate form (or a post-effective amendment converting the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to an appropriate form) covering all of the Registrable Securities, and use reasonable best efforts to have such Registration
Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is no longer useable by the Holders to sell their Registrable Securities. 

(d) Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared
effective by or, in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, filed with, the Commission, the Required Holders may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten Public Offering that is registered
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, that the Company will not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2(d) if (A) within the 90 calendar day
period preceding the date of a request for a Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company priced a Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown, such Required Holders received notice of such Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and,
if such Required Holders elected to sell pursuant to such Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown, were able to sell 80% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein at the time thereof or within 30 calendar days
thereafter or (B) such Underwritten Shelf Takedown is not expected to yield aggregate gross proceeds of at least $25 million. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “Demand
Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Demand Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Demand
Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown to all other Holders (a “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, shall
include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. 

(e) Block Sales. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2(d), any of the Holders shall be permitted to demand or participate in a Block
Sale, subject to the provisions of this 

  
 7 

 
Section 2(e). All requests for a Block Sale by a Backstop Party (a “Holder Block Sale”) shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “Block Sale
Notice”). Each Block Sale Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Holder Block Sale and the proposed date of such proposed Holder Block Sale, provided that such date must be at least
five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Block Sale Notice. Within two (2) Business Days after receipt of any Block Sale Notice and no later than 48 hours before the date of such proposed Holder Block Sale, the Company shall give
written notice of such requested Holder Block Sale to all other Holders (a “Company Block Sale Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, shall include in such Holder Block Sale all Registrable Securities
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 24 hours of sending the Company Block Sale Notice. 

(f) Priority on Underwritten Shelf Takedowns and Holder Block Sales. If the managing underwriters for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown
or Holder Block Sale advise the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder,
other securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed
offering price range acceptable to the Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale, timing or method of distribution of the
offering, the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale the number of Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities beneficially
owned by the Holders requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale (as applicable), allocated pro rata among the respective Holders beneficially owning such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number
of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by each such Backstop Party; (ii) second, any securities to be sold by the Company for its own account requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale by the
Company; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale (as applicable) to the extent permitted hereunder; provided that the Company shall not include in any
Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale any such securities pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii) which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable
Securities initially requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale. 
 (g) Selection of
Underwriters. The Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting an Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Holder Block Sale shall have the right to select the managing underwriters (which shall consist of one
or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks) to administer the Public Offering after consultation with the Company. 
  

	 	3.	Demand Registration. 

 (a) Requests for Registration. At any time and from time to
time on or following the Effective Date, the Required Holders may request registration under the Securities 

  
 8 

 
Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Required Holder(s) (A) on Form S-1 (or any successor form then in effect) (a “Long-Form
Registration”) or (B) on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (a “Short-Form Registration”), if available (any registration under this Section 3(a), a “Demand
Registration”); provided, that the Company will not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3(a) if (A) within the 180 calendar day period preceding the date of a Demand Registration Notice, the Company effected
a Demand Registration (other than a Block Sale), such Required Holders received notice of such Demand Registration, and such Required Holders were able to register and sell pursuant to such registration all of the Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such registration either at the time of the registration or within 30 calendar days thereafter or (B) such Demand Registration is not expected to yield aggregate gross proceeds of at least $25 million. 

(b) Demand Registration Notices. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the
“Demand Registration Notice”). Each Demand Registration Notice shall specify (i) whether such Demand Registration shall be an underwritten Public Offering and (ii) the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed
to be sold in the Demand Registration. The Company shall promptly give written notice (a “Company Demand Registration Notice”) of the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3 to all of the Holders not less than
five (5) Business Days before such filing and, subject to the provisions of Section 3(d) below, shall include in such Demand Registration all Registrable Securities beneficially owned by Holders on the date of the Company Demand
Registration Notice with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Company Demand Registration Notice. 

(c) Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any
applicable short form registration statement under the rules and regulations of the Securities Act, unless the underwriters, in their reasonable discretion, determine that the use of a Long-Form Registration is necessary in order for the successful
offering of such Registrable Securities. Promptly after the Company has become eligible to use Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 (or any successor form)
available for the resale of Registrable Securities on a continuous or delayed basis. 

  
 9 

 (d) Priority on Demand Registrations. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten Public
Offering and the managing underwriters for such Demand Registration advise the Company and applicable Holders in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be
included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price range acceptable to the Holders beneficially
owning a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requested to be included in the Demand Registration, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable
Securities which can be sold without such adverse effect in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by Holders requested to be included in such Demand Registration, allocated pro
rata among the respective Holders beneficially owning such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by each such Backstop Party; (ii) second, any securities to be sold by the
Company for its own account requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Company; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder; provided
that the Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any such securities pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii) which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders beneficially owning a majority of the
Registrable Securities initially requested to be included in such Demand Registration. 
 (e) Selection of Underwriters. The Holders
beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Demand Registration which is an underwritten Public Offering shall have the right to select the managing underwriters (which shall consist of one or more reputable
nationally recognized investment banks) to administer the Public Offering after consultation with the Company. 
 (f) Effective Demand
Registration. A registration shall not constitute an effective Demand Registration unless: 
 (i) it has been declared effective by, or
became automatically effective upon filing with, the Commission and remains continuously effective for the Required Effective Period; 

(ii) if after such Demand Registration has become effective and prior to all of the Registrable Securities registered in such Demand
Registration being sold, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency
or court for any reason not attributable to the Holder requesting the Demand Registration, such interference is eliminated within 45 calendar days thereafter; or 

(iii) if the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not
satisfied or waived, it is by reason of a failure on the part of the Holders. 

  
 10 

	 	4.	Piggyback Registration. 

 (a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to
file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or conduct a Shelf Takedown with respect to a Public Offering of any class of the Company’s Capital Stock (other than a Demand Registration, Underwritten Shelf Takedown, Holder Block Sale
or Excluded Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration (the “Piggyback Registration
Notice”) and (i) in the case of a Piggyback Registration that is a Shelf Takedown or is automatically effective upon filing, such Piggyback Registration Notice shall be given not less than five (5) Business Days (two
(2) Business Days in the case of a Block Sale) prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Shelf Takedown and (ii) in the case of any other Piggyback Registration, such Piggyback Registration Notice shall be
given not less than five (5) Business Days after the public filing of such Registration Statement; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of a
Piggyback Registration that includes an underwritten Public Offering advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion that the inclusion of any of a Holder’s Registrable Securities requested for inclusion in the subject Piggyback
Registration would likely have an adverse effect in any material respect on the price, timing or distribution of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Piggyback Registration, the Company shall have no obligation to provide a Piggyback
Registration Notice to such Holder and such Holder shall have no right to include any Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration. The Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) below, include in such Piggyback Registration,
as applicable, all Registrable Securities beneficially owned by Holders on the date of the Piggyback Registration Notice with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days (two
(2) Business Days in the case of a Block Sale) after the date of the Piggyback Registration Notice. 
 (b) Priority on Piggyback
Registrations. For any Piggyback Registration that includes an underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
Piggyback Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price range acceptable to the Holders beneficially owning a majority
of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold
without such adverse effect in the following order of priority: (i) first, if the Piggyback Registration includes a primary offering of Company securities for the Company’s own account, the securities offered by the Company thereby;
(ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the remaining Holders allocated pro rata among the remaining Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities
beneficially owned by each Holder; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, if any. 

(c) Selection of Underwriters. For any Piggyback Registration that includes an underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall have the
right to select the managing underwriters to administer the Public Offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

	 	5.	Suspensions; Withdrawals; Notices. 

 (a) Suspensions. The Company may postpone,
for up to 90 calendar days from the date of the Demand Registration Notice, Demand Shelf Takedown Notice, Block Sale Notice or request for a Shelf Registration Statement, the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand
Registration or Shelf Registration Statement or suspend the use of a Prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration for up to 90 calendar days from the date of the Suspension Notice and therefore suspend sales of Registrable Securities included
therein by providing written notice to the Holders included in such registration if the Company shall have furnished to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer (or other authorized officer) of the Company stating that the
Company’s Board of Directors has determined in its reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities should be suspended; provided that the Company may not invoke a delay pursuant to this Section 5(a) more
than twice or for more than 120 calendar days in the aggregate, in each case, in any 12-month period. The Company may invoke this Section 5(a) only if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its
advisors or legal counsel, that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to: (i) have a Material Adverse Effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material
acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or
(ii) require premature disclosure of material non-public information (“MNPI”) that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential. Furthermore, the Company shall not be required to effect any
registration pursuant to this Agreement while awaiting the Commission to declare the effectiveness of a registration statement of the Company. 

(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement as set forth in Section 5(a) or Section
6(a)(vi)(A), (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable
Securities and such notice shall state that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. The Company shall not include any MNPI in the Suspension Notice or otherwise provide such information to
a Holder unless specifically requested by a Holder in writing. A Holder shall not sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and
prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Holders may recommence sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension
Notice”) from the Company, and such End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and Counsel to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event. 

(c) Time Extension. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company gives a Suspension Notice with respect to any
Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5(c), the Company agrees that it shall (i) extend the Required Effective Period which 

  
 12 

 
such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to
and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice; and (ii) provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such
period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. 

(d) Withdrawal Requests. At any time prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Required Holders may withdraw such
demand or request for registration (“Withdrawal Request”) by providing written notice of such withdrawal to the Company. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Registration Statement subject to a
Withdrawal Request. Any Holder may withdraw its request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to remove its Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement within two (2) Business Days before the earlier of (i) the expected date of the commencement of marketing efforts for the Public Offering in connection with such Registration Statement or (ii) the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement. 
  

	 	6.	Company Undertakings. 

 (a) Whenever Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to
this Agreement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant
thereto the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable: 
 (i) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with
regard to such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 60 calendar days of its receipt of an applicable notice from the Required Holders (unless the Registration Statement would be required pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities Act to include any audited or unaudited consolidated or pro forma financial statements that are not then currently available, in which case, promptly after such financial statements are available) and use reasonable
best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable; 
 (ii) before
filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are requested to be included in the Registration Statement copies of all such documents, other than exhibits,
documents that are incorporated by reference and such documents that are otherwise publicly available on EDGAR, proposed to be filed and such other documents reasonably requested by such Holders and provide Counsel to the Holders with a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on such documents of no less than three (3) Business Days; 
 (iii) notify each Holder of the
effectiveness of each Registration Statement and prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a

  
 13 

 
period of not less than (A) 90 calendar days in the case of a Demand Registration that is not a Shelf Registration or (B) in the case of a Shelf Registration, until the date on which
all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities, (or, in each case, if sooner, until all Registrable Securities have been sold under such Registration Statement), and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (including by preparing and filing with the Commission any Prospectus or supplement to be used in connection therewith) with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders as set forth in such Registration Statement (each such period as applicable, the “Required Effective Period”); 

(iv) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of the applicable
Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, and any other Prospectus (including any Prospectus filed under Rule 424,
Rule 430A or Rule 430B promulgated under the Securities Act and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus)), all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as such seller or such managing underwriters may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, and upon request, a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to or received from, the Commission or any other governmental authority
relating to such offer; 
 (v) (A) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests in writing, (B) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect, and (C) do any and all other acts and things which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to
do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

 (vi) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, the managing underwriters and Counsel to the Holders (A) at any time when a
Prospectus relating to the applicable Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (1) upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, such Registration Statement, or the Prospectus
or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make
the statements in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating thereto not misleading or otherwise requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or document, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, furnish a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or amendment
to each seller of such Registrable Securities, Counsel to the Holders and the managing underwriters and file such supplement or amendment with the Commission so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such

  
 14 

 
Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (2) as soon as the Company becomes aware of any comments or inquiries by the Commission or any requests by the Commission or any federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus covering Registrable Securities or for additional information relating thereto, (3) as soon as the Company becomes aware of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission
of any stop order suspending or threatening to suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities or (4) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Security for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (B) when each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has
been filed with the Commission and when each Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 

(vii) use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities (A) if the Common Stock is then listed on a National
Securities Exchange or included for quotation in a recognized trading market, to continue to be so listed or included, and (B) to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable
the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities; 
 (viii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer
agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities from and after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement; 
 (ix)
in connection with any underwritten Public Offering (including an Underwritten Shelf Takedown): 
 (A) enter into and
perform under such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form, including customary representations and warranties and provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution) and take all such other actions as the
Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requested to be sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and provide
reasonable cooperation, including causing appropriate officers to attend and participate in “road shows” and analyst or investor presentations and such other selling or other informational meetings organized by the underwriters, if any
(taking into account the needs of the Company’s businesses and the responsibilities of such officers with respect thereto and the requirement of the marketing process); and 

(B) use reasonable best efforts to obtain and cause to be furnished to each such Holder included in such underwritten Public

  
 15 

 
Offering and the managing underwriters a signed counterpart of (i) one or more comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountant(s) in customary form and covering such
matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters and (ii) a legal opinion (and negative assurance letter) of counsel to the Company addressed to the relevant underwriters and/or such Holders of Registrable Securities, in each case in
customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by such letters as the managing underwriters and/or Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requested to be included in such underwritten
Public Offering reasonably request; 
 (x) upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours, make available for
inspection by a representative appointed by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, Counsel to the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition
pursuant to such registration, as applicable, and any other attorney or accountant retained by such Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or Shelf Takedown, as applicable, and make
themselves available at mutually convenient times to discuss the business of the Company and other matters reasonably requested by any such Holders, sellers, underwriter or agent thereof in connection with such Registration Statement as shall be
necessary (subject to the Company’s compliance with Regulation FD) to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, as applicable (any information provided under this Section 6(a)(x), “Due Diligence Information”);
provided that the Company shall not provide any Due Diligence Information to a Holder unless such Holder explicitly requests such Due Diligence Information in writing and such Holder has entered into a customary confidentiality agreement with
the Company with respect to MNPI; provided, further, that any Due Diligence Information subject to such restrictions shall be conspicuously labeled as confidential and potentially containing MNPI. 

(xi) permit Counsel to the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement, and any other
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any Holder or underwriter, to participate (including, but not limited to, reviewing, commenting on and attending all meetings) in the preparation of such Registration Statement and any Prospectus
supplements relating to a Shelf Takedown, if applicable; 
 (xii) in the event of the issuance or threatened issuance of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such Registration Statement for sale in any
jurisdiction, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) prevent the issuance of any such stop order, and in the event of such issuance, to obtain the withdrawal of such order and (B) obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending
or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or suspending qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest practicable date; 

  
 16 

 (xiii) provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities prior to the effective date of the
first Registration Statement including Registrable Securities; 
 (xiv) promptly notify in writing the participating Holders, the sales or
placement agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriters of the securities being sold: (A) when such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any Prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective
amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; and (B) of any written comments by the Commission and by the blue sky or securities commissioner
or regulator of any state with respect thereto; 
 (xv) (A) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, including post effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the
applicable time period required hereunder and, if applicable, file any Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act; (B) cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (C) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any applicable
securities exchange or other recognized trading market with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set
forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; and (D) provide additional information related to each Registration Statement as requested by, and obtain any required approval necessary from, the
Commission or any federal or state governmental authority; 
 (xvi) cooperate with each Holder and each underwriter, if any, participating
in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; 

(xvii) within the deadlines specified by the Securities Act, make all required filing fee payments in respect of any Registration Statement
or Prospectus used under this Agreement (and any Public Offering covered thereby); 
 (xviii) if requested by any participating Holder or
the managing underwriters, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Holder or managing underwriters may reasonably request, including in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities,
and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such request; 

(xix) in the case of certificated Registrable Securities, cooperate with the participating Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing
underwriters to facilitate the 

  
 17 

 
timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each participating Holder
that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered by such Holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as the Holders or managing underwriters may reasonably request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities; and 

(xx) use reasonable best efforts to take all other actions deemed necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of the Company to effect
the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. 
 (b) From and after the date that is sixty (60) days
after the Effective Date, the Majority Holders may at any time, by written notice to the Company (a “Listing Request”), request that the Company list the shares of Common Stock on a National Securities Exchange or Alternative
Securities Exchange that is approved in writing by the Majority Holders. In the event the Common Stock is listed on an Alternative Securities Exchange but not a National Securities Exchange, the Majority Holders retain the right to make subsequent
Listing Requests until the Company is listed on a National Securities Exchange, provided such listing is then permitted under the rules of such National Securities Exchange. 

(i) Upon receipt of a Listing Request, the Company shall make public disclosure of such Listing Request to the extent it may be required
pursuant to Regulation FD and also disclose the Listing Request to all other Holders (except any Holders that have made an Opt-Out Election pursuant to 7(e)); provided that the Company may first request that the Majority Holders withdraw such
Listing Request if (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors such Listing Request is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at such time or (ii) at the time of the Listing Notice the
Company does not meet the listing standards and eligibility requirements of such National Securities Exchange or Alternative Securities Exchange and in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors meeting such standards and
requirements would require commercially unreasonable efforts on the part of the Company. The Majority Holders may decide in their sole discretion to withdraw the Listing Request. 

(ii) If the Listing Request is not withdrawn, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock to be publicly
traded and listed on such National Securities Exchange or Alternative Securities Exchange as soon as possible but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of such Listing Request; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to meet any listing standards and eligibility requirements of such National Securities Exchange or Alternative Securities Exchange at the time of the
Listing Notice. 
 (c) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the
Company pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission
in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a 

  
 18 

 
subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than
by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that to the extent permitted by law, it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental
body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at the Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such
information. 
 (d) As of the date hereof and except as provided pursuant to the Plan, the Company represents and warrants that it is not a
party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any securities of the Company, including securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into or for shares of any Capital
Stock of the Company. 
 (e) With a view to making available certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the
Registrable Securities to the public without registration, on and after the Effective Date and until such date as no Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to: 

(i) use reasonable best efforts to continue to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder; 
 (ii) make available information
necessary to comply with Section 4(a)(7) under the Securities Act and Rule 144, Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at
all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(7), Rule 144, Rule 144A
and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be amended from time to time, or any other similar rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission; and 

(iii) upon the reasonable written request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether the
Company has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance. 
 (f) The Company agrees
that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Holders, at any time and from time to time, from selling or otherwise transferring Registrable Securities pursuant to a private placement or other transaction which is not registered pursuant to the
Securities Act. 
  

	 	7.	Holder Undertakings. 

 (a) Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Holder represents that
it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or used or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any
written materials in connection with the offer or sale of Common 

  
 19 

 
Stock without the prior written consent of the Company and, in connection with any underwritten Public Offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and
the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. 

(b) Information for Inclusion. Each selling Holder that has requested or will request inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any
Registration Statement shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and its plan and method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The Company may
refuse to proceed with the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities if such Holder unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 

(c) Underwritten Public Offering Participation. No Person may participate in any underwritten Public Offering hereunder unless such
Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form entered into pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no Holder included in any underwritten Public Offering shall be required to make any
representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than (A) representations and warranties regarding (1) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (2) such Holder’s
power and authority to effect such transfer, and (3) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters, and (B) such other representations, warranties and other
provisions relating to such Holder’s participation in such Public Offering as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in
Section 11(b), or to the underwriters with respect thereto, except to the extent of the indemnification being given to the underwriters and their controlling Persons in Section 11(b). 

(d) Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an underwritten Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown requested by
Holders pursuant to this Agreement, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Holders beneficially owning a majority of the Registrable
Securities initially requested to be included in such underwritten Public Offering. 
 (e) Notice Opt-In and Opt-Out. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until a Holder makes an affirmative written election, the Company shall not be required to and shall not deliver any notice or any information to such Holder that would reasonably be expected to constitute
MNPI, including any applicable registration notices (including a Listing Request), or any other information under this Agreement. Upon receipt of written election to receive such notices or information (an “Opt-In Election”) the
Company shall be required to and shall provide to the Holder all applicable notices or information pursuant 

  
 20 

 
to this Agreement from the date of such Opt-In Election. At any time following a Holder making an Opt-In Election, such Holder may also make a written election to no longer receive any such
notices or information (an “Opt-Out Election”), which election shall cancel any previous Opt-In Election, and, following receipt of such Opt-Out Election, the Company shall not be required to, and shall not, deliver any such notice
or information to such Holder from the date of such Opt-Out Election. An Opt-Out Election may state a date on which it expires or, if no such date is specified, shall remain in effect indefinitely. A Holder who previously has given the Company an
Opt-In Election or Opt-Out Election may revoke such election at any time, and there shall be no limit on the ability of a Holder to issue and revoke subsequent Opt-In Elections and Opt-Out Elections. Should any Holder have made an Opt-In Election
and have received a notice or any information that would reasonably be expected to constitute MNPI, such Holder agrees that it shall treat such MNPI as confidential and shall not disclose or use such MNPI, in each case, without the prior written
consent of the Company until such time as such MNPI is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided that a Holder may deliver or disclose
MNPI (A) to its external advisors or legal counsel, but solely to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to its evaluation of exercise of its rights under this Agreement and the sale of any Registrable Securities in connection therewith,
such external advisors or legal counsel are bound by confidentiality agreements adopted in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Holder and the Holder remains responsible under this Agreement for any
breach of such confidentiality obligations by its external advisors or legal counsel; (B) when disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities;
(C) when disclosure of such information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of any Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus referred to in this
Agreement); (D) when such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or (E) when such information becomes available to any such Person from a source other than the Company and
such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement. 
  

	 	8.	Registration Expenses. 

 (a) Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with this Agreement (“Registration Expenses”) will be borne by the Company. These fees and expenses will include without limitation (i) stock exchange, Commission, FINRA and other registration and filing
fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with any securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable
Securities), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of its independent public accountants and any other accounting and legal fees, charges and expenses
incurred by the Company (including any expenses arising from any special audits or “comfort letters” required in connection with or incident to any registration) and other Persons retained by the Company, (v) the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on a National Securities Exchange, and (vi) reasonable and customary fees and expenses of any underwriter (for an underwritten Public Offering permitted by the terms of this
Agreement) excluding discounts and commissions for the sale of Registrable Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, Registration Expenses shall not include Selling Expenses. 

  
 21 

 (b) Reimbursement of Counsel. The Company will also reimburse or pay, as the case may be,
the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one Counsel to the Holders relating to or in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Agreement within 30 calendar
days of presentation of an invoice approved by such Holders and disbursements of each additional counsel retained by any Holder for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such Holder in connection with any underwritten Public Offering
if the managing underwriters of such Public Offering or the Company reasonably request such legal opinion and Counsel to the Holders cannot reasonably provide such legal opinion due to legal jurisdiction or otherwise. 

 

	 	9.	Lock-Up Agreements. 

 (a) Lock-Up Agreements and Market Stand-Off. 

(i) In the event of any underwritten Public Offering or an Excluded Registration, if reasonably requested by the Company and the managing
underwriters of such underwritten Public Offering and required by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in such Public Offering, each Holder agrees that in connection with such underwritten Public Offering it shall
not (A) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code), directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock of the Company (including Capital Stock of the
Company that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such Holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission) (collectively, “Equity Securities”), (B) enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect as described in clause (A) above, (C) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Equity Securities, whether such transaction is to be
settled by delivery of such Equity Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (A), (B) and (C) above, a “Sale Transaction”), or (D) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, from the earlier
of (1) the date of the pricing of such Public Offering or (2) the filing of a preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus supplement immediately prior to the commencement of marketing efforts by the managing underwriters until (and including) the
date that is 90 calendar days following the date of the final Prospectus or Prospectus supplement, as applicable, for such Public Offering (the “Restricted Period”), unless the underwriters managing the Public Offering otherwise
agree in writing in a Lock-Up Agreement pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii); provided further that the foregoing restrictions shall only be applicable to any Holder if all executive officers and directors of the Company are bound by Lock-Up
Agreements or substantially similar transfer restrictions; provided further that if any Holder’s Lock-Up Agreement is any less restrictive than the foregoing provisions, then such less restrictive provisions shall apply. 

(ii) Any Lock-Up Agreement (a “Lock-Up Agreement”) required pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) shall be addressed to the managing
underwriters of such underwritten Public Offering and be in customary form and substance with customary exceptions as reasonably requested by such managing underwriters. Each Lock-Up Agreement shall set forth a Holder’s agreement not to engage
in any Sale Transactions during the Restricted Period. The foregoing requirements to enter into a Lock-Up Agreement are only applicable to a Holder if all executive officers and directors of the Company are bound by and have entered into
substantially similar or more restrictive Lock-Up Agreements. 

  
 22 

 (iii) The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common
Stock (or other securities) subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(a) until the end of the applicable Restricted Period of the Lock-Up Agreement. 

(b) Company Lock-Up. If reasonably requested by the managing underwriters for any underwritten Public Offering, the Company shall:
(i) agree to a customary lock up provision applicable to the Company in an underwriting agreement as reasonably requested by the managing underwriters for such Public Offering and (ii) cause each of its executive officers and
directors, in each case, to enter into Lock-Up Agreements with the managing underwriters of such Public Offering meeting the requirements of Section 9(a)(ii). 
  

	 	10.	Public Reports. 

 (a) For so long as the Company is subject to the requirements to
publicly file information or reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use best efforts to timely file all information and reports with the Commission and comply with all such
requirements. Subject to Section 10(c), if the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall continue to file such information with the Commission within the time periods specified
in the Commission’s rules and regulations applicable to non-accelerated filers (as in effect on the date hereof) with (i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission
on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, all certified by the principal financial or accounting
officer of the Company and, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants, and (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if
the Company were required to file such reports. 
 (b) Conference Calls. Subject to Section 10(c) and after the Common Stock is
listed on a National Securities Exchange or the NYSE MKT, the Company will arrange and participate in quarterly conference calls with the Holders and securities analysts to discuss its results of operations (including any financial information filed
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or Section 10(a)) no later than three (3) Business Days following that date on which each of the quarterly and annual reports are made available; provided that
the Company may limit the information made available during such conference calls to the extent the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such information (i) would not be material to Holders or to the business, assets,
operations or financial positions of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) would otherwise cause material competitive harm to the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company will provide dial-in conference call information and presentations or materials referred to on such calls, if any, substantially concurrently with the posting of such reports as provided for pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or pursuant to Section 10(a). 
 (c) Waiver. The Company’s obligations under
this Section 10 may be waived at any time by prior written consent of the Majority Holders. 

  
 23 

	 	11.	Indemnification; Contribution. 

 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder registered pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder’s Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, agents and any Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any underwriter that facilitates the sale of the Registrable Securities and any Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (“Losses”) to which they or any of them may
become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered, Prospectus, preliminary
prospectus, any road show, as defined in Rule 433(h)(4) under the Securities Act a (“road show”), or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in the case of any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading and the Company agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Losses (whether or not the indemnified party is a party to any proceeding); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such Loss arises
out of or is based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any such Holder specifically for
inclusion therein, including, without limitation, any notice and questionnaire. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each
of its Affiliates, directors, employees, members, managers, agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any underwriter that facilitates
the sale of Registrable Securities and any Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against
any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement pursuant to which Registrable
Securities were registered, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, road show, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in the case of any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any written information furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion 

  
 24 

 
therein; provided, however, that the maximum amount to be indemnified by such Holder pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting
underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Holder in the Public Offering to which such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relates; provided,
further, that a Holder shall not be liable in any case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, each Holder has furnished in writing to the Company, information expressly for use in, and within a reasonable period of time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the use of the Prospectus, preliminary
prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously provided to the Company. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which any such Holder may otherwise have. 
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 11 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11(c), notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 11(a) or Section 11(b) above unless and to the extent such action and such failure
results in material prejudice to the indemnifying party and forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party
other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 11(a) or Section 11(b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, except as provided in the next
sentence, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s rights in the prior sentence, the indemnified party shall
have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if: 

(i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with an actual or
potential conflict of interest; 
 (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party; 

  
 25 

 (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or 
 (iv) the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. 
 No indemnifying party
shall, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 11(c) to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or
action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent
of each indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise unless such settlement or compromise (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein, to such indemnified party, of a full and final release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. 
 (d) Contribution. 

(i) In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 11(a) or Section 11(b) above is unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the aggregate Losses (including reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or
defending same) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other from the Public
Offering of the Common Stock; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited in the case of any Holder to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and
commissions) received by such Holder in connection with such registration. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

  
 26 

 (ii) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 11(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders of Registrable Securities or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 11(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to above in this Section 11(d) shall be deemed to include any
reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11(d), no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

(iv) For purposes of this Section11, each Person who controls any Holder, agent or underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each director, officer, employee and agent of any such Holder, agent or underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, agent or underwriter, and each Person who
controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to
the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 11(d). 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 1011 will remain in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 11, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities. 

 

	 	12.	Transfer of Registration Rights. 

 The rights of a Holder hereunder may be transferred,
assigned, or otherwise conveyed on a pro rata basis in connection with any transfer, assignment, or other conveyance of Registrable Securities to any transferee or assignee; provided that all of the following additional conditions are
satisfied with respect to any transfer, assignment or conveyance of rights hereunder: (a) such transfer, assignment or conveyance (other than any transfer, assignment or conveyance of rights of a Holder to an Affiliate or Related Fund of such
Holder) is for not less than the lesser of (i) 1% of the outstanding Common Stock and (ii) all of the Common Stock initially held by such Holder upon the Effective Date of the Plan; (b) such transfer, assignment or conveyance is
effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (c) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a Joinder; and (d) the Company is given
written notice by such Holder within 15 Business Days of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee, identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or
assigned and the total number of Registrable Securities and other Capital Stock of the Company beneficially owned by such transferee or assignee.

 (a) Amendment. This
Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument, (a) signed by (i) the Company, and (ii) the Majority Holders;
provided, that no provision of this Agreement shall be modified or amended in a manner that is disproportionately and materially adverse to any Holder, without the prior written consent of such Holder, as applicable, or (b) in the case
of a waiver, by the party hereto waiving compliance. 
 (b) Changes in Common Stock. If, and as often as, there are any changes in
the Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof as
may be required so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed and the Company shall make appropriate provision in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization or
recapitalization that any successor to the Company (or resulting parent thereof) shall agree, as a condition to the consummation of any such transaction, to expressly assume the Company’s obligations hereunder. 

(c) Effect of Waiver. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such
terms and conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly
provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party
against whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such
provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

(d) Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further instruments and documents and take all such further
action as any other party hereto may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 
  

	 	14.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including any trustee in bankruptcy) whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not
any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of purchasers or Holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent Holder. No assignment or delegation
of this Agreement by the Company, or any of the Company’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder, shall be effective against any Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder. 

  
 28 

 (b) Remedies; Specific Performance. Any Person having rights under any provision of this
Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor; provided that the liability of the
Holders shall be several and not joint. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court
of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement and shall not be required to prove
irreparable injury to such party or that such party does not have an adequate remedy at law with respect to any breach of this Agreement (each of which elements the parties admit). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that each and every
obligation applicable to it contained in this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable against it and hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of their respective obligations hereunder. All
rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise
delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement. 

(c) Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when (i) delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) e-mailed or sent by facsimile to the recipient, or (iii) one Business Day after being sent to the recipient by
reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid). Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to the Company at the address set forth below and to any Holder at the address set forth on the signature page hereto (with copies

 (d) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is
inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement. 
 (e) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and may be delivered by means of facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format (“pdf”), each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding
upon the party who executed the same, but all of such counterparts shall constitute the same agreement. 
 (f) Descriptive Headings;
Interpretation; No Strict Construction. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement
shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or
instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. The words “include,” “includes” or “including” in this Agreement shall be deemed to be
followed by “without limitation.” The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any of the provisions of this Agreement. All references to laws, rules, regulations and forms in this Agreement shall be deemed to be references to such laws, rules, regulations and forms, as amended from time to time or, to the extent replaced,
the comparable successor thereto in effect at the time. All references to agencies, self-regulatory organizations or governmental entities in this Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the comparable successors thereto from time to time.

  
 30 

 (g) Delivery by Facsimile and Electronic Means. This Agreement, the agreements referred to
herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other
electronic means, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request
of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use
of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the
formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. 
 (h) Arm’s Length Agreement.
Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees and acknowledges that this Agreement has been negotiated in good faith, at arm’s length, and not by any means prohibited by law. 

(i) Sophisticated Parties; Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties to this Agreement specifically acknowledges that (i) it is a
knowledgeable, informed, sophisticated Person capable of understanding and evaluating the provisions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) it has been fully advised and represented by legal counsel of its own independent selection and has relied
wholly upon its independent judgment and the advice of such counsel in negotiating and entering into this Agreement. 
 (j) Governing
Law. This Agreement and the exhibits, attachments and annexes hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) to the extent such rules or provisions would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. 

(k) Submission to Jurisdiction. Any action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out
of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York state court, in each case, located in the Borough of
Manhattan, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such action, suit or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such, action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

  
 31 

 (l) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees to waive its
respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the
subject matter of this Agreement, including contract claims, tort claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into this Agreement, that each has already
relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and
that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY
REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 14(l) AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be
filed as a written consent to a trial by the court. 
 (m) Complete Agreement. This Agreement and any certificates, documents,
instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto, represent the complete agreement among the parties hereto as to all matters covered hereby, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings among the parties. 

(n) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 (o)
Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided that (i) any Holder may elect to terminate its obligations under this
Agreement by giving the Company written notice thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to a Holder that no longer holds any Registrable Securities; provided further that the provisions of Sections 6(c),
7(e), 8, 9, 11 and 14 shall survive any termination pursuant to this Section 14(o). 
 (p) Independent Agreement by the Holders. The
obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Holder vis-à-vis any other Holder. Nothing contained
herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in
concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.
