hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the Business Day prior to the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed

Not later than five Business Days prior to each anticipated Additional Filing Determination Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the Investors of such anticipated Additional Filing Determination Date. Each Investor shall notify the
Company of the number of Additional Registrable Securities to be included by it in such Initial Registration Statement (and shall provide such other information as is required by Section 4(a)) not later than the third

thereafter designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder in accordance with SEC Guidance, the Company
shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form in accordance with SEC Guidance and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such
form is available for secondary sales in accordance with SEC Guidance, provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has become effective.
(e) Termination of Exchange Act Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, if the Company expects that it will no
longer be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subject to the condition precedent that the Company shall have entered into a New Registration
Rights Agreement with the Investors holding Registrable Securities at such time, at the time it is no longer subject to such reporting requirements, the Company shall no longer be required to comply with Section 8 or
to file or maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statements filed under this Agreement or perform any Registration Actions (as defined below) and may withdraw any such Registration Statements in accordance with SEC Guidance. The New
Registration Rights Agreement shall provide that it supersedes this Agreement in its entirety.
8
(f) Conduct of Underwritten Offerings and Alternative Transactions.
(i) Upon written request
by an Investor holding Shelf Registered Securities (the “Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder”), which request (the “Underwritten Offering Request”) shall specify the class or series and amount of such Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder’s Shelf Registered Securities to be sold (the “Requested Shelf Registered Securities”), the Company shall perform its obligations hereunder with respect to the sale of such Requested Shelf Registered
Securities in the form of a firm commitment underwritten public offering (unless otherwise consented to by the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder) (an “Underwritten
Offering”) if the aggregate proceeds reasonably anticipated to be generated, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, from the sale of the Requested Shelf Registered Securities equals or exceeds $10.0 million (as determined by the
Company in good faith, as of the date the Company receives the Underwritten Offering Request), unless such Underwritten Offering shall include all of the Registrable Securities then owned by the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder(s). Within
five Business Days of receipt of an Underwritten Offering Request, the Company shall provide notice (the “Underwritten Offering Notice”) of such proposed
Underwritten Offering (which notice shall state the material terms of such proposed Underwritten Offering, to the extent known, as well as the identity of the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder) to the other Investors holding Shelf
Registered Securities. Such other Investors may, by written request to the Company and the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holders, within one Business Day after receipt of such Underwritten Offering Notice, offer and sell up to all of their
Shelf Registered Securities of the same class or series as the Requested Shelf Registered Securities in such proposed Underwritten Offering. No Investor shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering
unless such Investor has complied with clause (iv), below. The lead managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering shall be an investment bank of national reputation selected by the Underwritten Offering Requesting
Holder(s) and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The terms and conditions of any customary underwriting or purchase arrangements pursuant to which Registrable Securities shall be sold in an Underwritten Offering shall be approved by
the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder(s) and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(ii) In an Underwritten
Offering, if the lead managing underwriter advises the Company and the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder that, in its view, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering (including any
securities that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the number of Registrable Securities that may be sold without having a material and adverse effect on such Underwritten Offering (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering the following securities, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum
Offering Size:
(A) first, Shelf Registered Securities that are requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder(s);
9
(B) second, Shelf Registered Securities that are requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by Investors other than the Underwritten Offering Requesting Holder(s); and
(C) third, all securities that are registered on the applicable Registration Statement and are requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by the Company (including
securities to be included pursuant to other applicable registration rights agreements or provisions).
(iii) The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in a timely manner with any request of the Investors holding Shelf Registered Securities in respect of any block trade, hedging transaction, derivatives transaction, short sale, stock loan or
pledge or other transaction that is registered under a Registration Statement that is not a firm commitment Underwritten Offering (each, an “Alternative Transaction”),
including entering into customary agreements with respect to such Alternative Transactions (and providing customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in such agreements) as well as providing other reasonable assistance in
respect of such Alternative Transactions of the type applicable to a transaction registered on a Registration Statement, subject to Section 3, to the extent customary for such transactions.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no Investor may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Investor accurately completes and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements,
underwriting agreements (as approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and other documents reasonably requested under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that all Persons participating in such Underwritten Offering shall be required to complete and execute, on the same terms and conditions, such questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody
agreements, underwriting agreements, and other documents (if applicable). The right of an Investor to register and sell Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering shall also be subject to any restrictions, limitations or prohibitions on
the sale of Registrable Securities as may be required by the underwriters in the interests of the offering (and, without limiting the foregoing, each such Investor shall in connection therewith agree to be bound by (and if requested, execute and
deliver) a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of any such Underwritten Offering as provided in clause (v), below).
(A) Each
Investor hereby agrees that, except for sales in such Underwritten Offering: (1) it will not effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 and through
derivative transactions) of Common Stock during (x) the period from the date of the Underwritten Offering Notice until the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date of commencement of
such Underwritten Offering (which period may be extended to the extent required by applicable Law or SEC Guidance) or (y) such shorter period as the underwriters participating in such Underwritten Offering may
require; provided, that the duration of the restrictions described in this subclause (1) shall be no longer than the duration
of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company (or persons in substantially equivalent positions) in connection with such Underwritten Offering; and
(2) it will execute a lock-up agreement in favor of the underwriters in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and the underwriters to such effect.
10
(B) The Company agrees that (1) it shall not effect any public sale or distribution (including through derivative transactions) of Common Stock (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any similar or successor form under the
Securities Act) during (x) the period from the date of the Underwritten Offering Notice until the end of the 90-day period beginning on the date of commencement of such Underwritten
Offering (which period may be extended to the extent required by applicable Law or SEC Guidance) or (y) such shorter period as the underwriters participating in such Underwritten Offering may require; and (2) to the
extent requested by the underwriters participating in such Underwritten Offering, it shall agree to include provisions in the relevant underwriting or other similar agreement giving effect to the restrictions described in the preceding subclause
(1), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such underwriters and the Required Holders.
(C) With
respect to the 90-day periods described in clauses (A) and (B) above, unless the provisions of FINRA Rule 2241 do not apply to research reports issued by the managers or co-managers of the
relevant offering of Registrable Securities, such lock-up restrictions shall continue to apply to the extent reasonably requested by the underwriters to facilitate compliance with such rule (but in no event shall such an extended period extend
beyond the expiration of the 18th day following the end of the initial 90-day period), and any lock-up agreements contemplated by such paragraphs shall be subject to such extension.
11
(g) Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2(g), the Company shall be entitled to suspend
its obligation to (i) file or submit (but not to prepare) any Registration Statement, (ii) file or submit any amendment to such a Registration Statement, (iii) file, submit or furnish any supplement or amendment to a
prospectus included in such a Registration Statement, (iv) make any other filing with the SEC, (v) cause such a Registration Statement or other filing with the SEC to become or remain effective or (vi) take any
similar actions or actions related thereto (including entering into agreements and actions related to the marketing of securities) (collectively, “Registration
Actions”) upon (1) the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to such a Registration Statement under
Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (2) the determination of the Company’s board of directors that any such Registration Action should not be taken
because it would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with or require the public disclosure of any material corporate development or plan, including any material financing, securities offering, acquisition, disposition, corporate
reorganization or merger or other transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (3) the Company possessing material non-public information the disclosure of which its board of directors determines
would reasonably be expected to not be in the best interests of the Company. Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in clause (1), (2) or (3)
above in connection with undertaking a Registration Action, the Company shall give prompt notice of such suspension (and whether such action is being taken pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above) (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Investors. Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Investors and shall promptly proceed with all Registration Actions that were suspended pursuant to this Section 2(g). The Company may only suspend Registration Actions pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above on three occasions during any period of 12 consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the Suspension Notice but not exceeding an
aggregate of 90 days (which period may not be extended or renewed) during such 12 consecutive month period (each such occasion, a “Suspension
Period”). Each Suspension Period shall be deemed to begin on the date the relevant Suspension Notice is given to the Investors and shall be deemed to end on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which the
Company gives the Investors a notice that the Suspension Period has terminated and (y) the date on which the number of days during which a Suspension Period has been in effect exceeds the 90-day
limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be in breach of, or have failed to comply with, any obligation under this Agreement where the Company acts or omits to take any action in order to comply
with applicable Law, any SEC Guidance or any Order. Each Investor shall keep confidential the fact that a Suspension Period is in effect unless otherwise notified by the Company, except (a) for disclosure to the
Investors and any underwriters or counterparties in Alternative Transactions, and their employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information, (b) for disclosures to the extent
required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who are subject to confidentiality arrangements with such Investor, (c) if and to the extent such
matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other Person that, to the actual knowledge of such Investor, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) as required by applicable Law (provided, that the Investor gives prior written notice to the Company of such requirement and
the contents of the proposed disclosure to the extent it is permitted to do so under applicable Law), and (e) for disclosure to any other Investor who is subject to the foregoing confidentiality requirement.

the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as reasonably
practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). Each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not
misleading. The term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within five Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company is advised
by the SEC that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel
pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two Business Days after the submission of
such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) In accordance with SEC
Guidance, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus
is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. The “Plan of Distribution” section of each Registration Statement shall permit all lawful means of disposition of
Registrable Securities, including firm-commitment underwritten public offerings, block trades, agented transactions, sales directly into the market, purchases or sales by brokers, derivative transactions, short sales, stock loan or stock pledge
transactions and sales not involving a public offering. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section
3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or
shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
(c) The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least two Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all
Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or any such amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i)
copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration
Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant
to this Section 3.
13
(d) The Company shall upon request furnish to each
Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and
any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, 10 copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such
other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; provided, that any such item which is available on the SEC’s XXXXX System (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
(e) The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Required Holders may reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications
in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e),
(y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal
Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or
“blue sky” Laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(f) The Company shall
notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (which may be by email) of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section
3(q), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and upon request deliver 10 copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other
number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request) provided, that any such item which is available on the SEC’s XXXXX System (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form. The Company shall also promptly
notify Legal Counsel in writing (which may be by email) (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By the end of the Business Day following the date any post-effective
amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
14
(g) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension as early as is reasonably practicable and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the
resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(h) Subject to customary
confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall make available for inspection (upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours) by any Investor and any underwriter or
counterparty in an Alternative Transaction participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement and any attorney (including Legal Counsel), any accountant or any other professional retained by any such Investor, underwriter or
counterparty (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively,
the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility and comply with SEC Guidance, and
cause the officers and the employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that
it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration
Statement or related prospectus, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) disclosure of such Records is necessary to comply with SEC Guidance, federal or state
securities Laws or the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which any Common Stock is listed or traded or is otherwise required by applicable Law, SEC Guidance or administrative or legal process, (iv) the information in such
Records was known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a violation of this paragraph (h) or
any other agreement or duty of confidentiality, (v) the information in such Records is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by any Inspector in violation of the confidentiality
agreements or (vi) is or was independently developed by any Inspector without the benefit of the information in such Records. Each Inspector agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, it shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential. Nothing in this
paragraph (h) (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Inspector) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent
with applicable Law.
15
(i) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make
any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement or
related prospectus, (ii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with SEC Guidance, federal or state
securities Laws or the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which any Common Stock is listed or traded or is otherwise required by applicable Law, SEC Guidance or administrative or legal process, (iv) the information in such
information was known to the Company on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Investors or has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a violation of this paragraph (i)
or any other agreement or duty of confidentiality, (v) such information is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Company in violation of the confidentiality agreements or (vi)
is or was independently developed by the Company. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction or
through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(j) The Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if
any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section
3(j).
(k) The Company shall
cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend if such shares are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement to a person who is not an affiliate of the Company) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case
may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
(l) If requested by an
Investor, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating
to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the manner of such sale and distribution, the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.
16
(m) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement.
(n) The Company shall make
generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of a Registration Statement.
(o) The Company shall
otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all SEC Guidance in connection with any Registration Statement.
(p) Within two Business
Days after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies
to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has become effective. The Company shall provide such confirmation to any underwriters or counterparties in
Alternative Transactions covered by such Registration Statement.
(i) The Company shall
enter into any underwriting or other agreements that are reasonably necessary to complete transactions of such type, which agreements shall provide for representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that are customary for transactions of
such type;
(ii) The Company shall
furnish to each Investor and to each underwriter in an Underwritten Offering or counterparty in an Alternative Transaction, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such underwriter or counterparty, of (A) an
opinion or opinions of counsel to the Company and (B) a comfort letter or comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the kind customarily
covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, any Investor or the lead managing underwriter (or lead counterparty, as the case may be) therefor reasonably requests;
(iii) Prior to filing or
submitting to the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or distributing publicly any materials (including free writing prospectuses, prospectus supplements, materials to be incorporated by reference in the relevant Registration Statement and
amendments or supplements to the relevant Registration Statement) related to such Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction, the Company shall afford counsel to any underwriter or counterparty in such Alternative Transaction a reasonable
opportunity to review and comment on any such materials, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any such comments; and
17
(iv) The Company shall take all other actions as are
reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any such Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction, including, if required, (A) engaging a “qualified
independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with FINRA, (B) providing reasonable cooperation to any underwriters or counterparties in Alternative Transactions in
their filings with FINRA, (C) causing its senior management, upon reasonable request and at reasonable times to prepare and make presentations at any “road shows” in connection with Underwritten Offerings and
Alternative Transactions and otherwise cooperate as requested by the underwriters or counterparties in an Alternative Transaction in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities, (D) including in
such Registration Statement such additional information for marketing purposes as the managing underwriter or counterparty in an Alternative Transaction reasonably requests (which information may be provided by means of a prospectus supplement if
permitted by SEC Guidance), (E) furnishing the underwriters or counterparties in Alternative Transactions such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto filed with the SEC
(in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus
filed under Rule 424, Rule 430A, Rule 430B or Rule 430C under the Securities Act and such other documents as such underwriters or counterparties may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities.
(r) Neither the Company
nor any subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an “underwriter” in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC or any Eligible Market without the prior written consent of such Investor (it being understood, that if the
Company is required to name such Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement by the SEC (after a good faith discussion with the SEC to lift such requirement, including, without limitation, any reduction in the number of
Registrable Securities of such Investor to be registered on such Registration Statement (to the extent necessary to lift such requirement)), such Investor shall have the option of electing to exclude all such Registrable Securities from such
Registration Statement or to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement”).
(s) Neither the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries shall have entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of
impairing the rights granted to any Investor pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
(a) At least five Business
Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing (which may be by email) of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have
any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall
be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
18
(b) Each Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company
as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing (which may be by email) of such Investor’s election to exclude
all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) Each Investor agrees
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its
transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s
receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet
settled.
(d) Each Investor covenants
and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall
be paid by the Company. In connection with each registration pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall reimburse the Required Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Legal Counsel, which
reimbursement amount shall not exceed $100,000 per registration without the prior approval of the Company.
19
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Company
will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or
defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or other Governmental Authority, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a
party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or
threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any
filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” Laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the Effective Date of such
Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact
necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other
Law, including, without limitation, any state securities Law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the
matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company
shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or
any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); (ii) shall not apply to expenses or damages which arise out of an Indemnified Person’s failure to send or give
a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the Securities Act to the Person asserting the existence of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
20
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in
which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly
for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the
net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
(c) Promptly after receipt
by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and
the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified
Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the
case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to
which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to
the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or
litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
21
(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The indemnity
agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others and (ii) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the Law.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by Law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities
who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any
other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep adequate
current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the
applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
22
(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor
owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors
to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; provided, that any such item which is available on the
SEC’s XXXXX System (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
The rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such
Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and obligations and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a
reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights and obligations hereunder are being transferred or assigned and (c) any other information which the Company requests in
order to reflect such transferee as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities Laws; and (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all
of the provisions contained herein.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that
complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of
such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it
applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other
than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investors, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to
the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company
nor any Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.
23
(b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, including any transferees of Registrable Securities
permitted under Section 9. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, including by way of a fundamental change, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. No
purchaser of any of the Common Stock or the Notes from an Investor shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase; provided, however, that an Investor may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company to any permitted assignee, in which event such
assignee shall be deemed to be an Investor hereunder with respect to such assigned rights. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the rights of a permitted assignee hereunder, the assignment of this Agreement to a permitted assignee
shall not relieve the Company of any obligations to an Investor for any fees, reimbursement of expenses, indemnification or any other payments hereunder.
(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may
any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person, except that each Indemnified Person shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 6.
(d) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been
delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon transmission, when delivered by email or facsimile; or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly
addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

24
Any party to this Agreement may change such address for notices by sending to the parties to this Agreement written notice of a new address for such
purpose.
(e) Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that money damages are not an adequate remedy for violations of this Agreement and that any party may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court
of competent jurisdiction for specific performance or injunctive or such other relief as such court may deem just and proper in order to enforce this Agreement or prevent any violation hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each
party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal Laws of the
State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that
such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(g) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(h) Extensions; Waivers. Any party may, for itself only, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement,
(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the
agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation
or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of
any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy.
25
(i) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by Law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited,
invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s)
in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties. Executed copies of the signature pages of this Agreement sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically in Portable Document Format shall be treated as
originals, fully binding and with full legal force and effect, and the parties waive any rights they may have to object to such treatment.
(k) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) this Agreement, whenever an Investor exercises a
right, election, demand or option under this Agreement and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon
written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
(m) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
26
(n) Several and Not Joint. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the rights, duties, and obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint, and no Investor shall be liable hereunder for
the duties or obligations of any other Investor. No Investor makes any representation or warranty hereunder to or for the benefit of any other Investor.
