(i) Future Financings. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company may complete additional financings in the future in order to develop the proposed business of the Company and to fund its ongoing development. There is no assurance that any such financings will be available and, if available, on reasonable terms and the Purchaser does not have any contractual right to participate in such financings. Any such financings may have a dilutive effect on current shareholders, including the Purchaser. If such future financings are not available, the Company may be unable to fund its ongoing development and the lack of capital resources may result in the failure of its business venture.
(j) Sophisticated Investor. The Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the proposed investment.

The Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation, review and analysis of, and reached its own independent conclusions regarding, the Company and its operations, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects.

The Purchaser has been represented by, and had the assistance of, counsel in the conduct of its due diligence, the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
(l) No Other Representations. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that other than the representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in this Agreement, none of the Company, any of the Company’s representatives or any other Person has made or makes any representation or warranty, written or oral, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to the Company, including any representation or warranty as to merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. None of the Company or any of its representatives have made, and shall not be deemed to have made, any representations or warranties in the information or materials relating to the Company or its business made available to the Purchaser and its representatives, including projections, due diligence materials, data room materials, or in any presentation by management of the Company or others in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Evaluation Material”), and no statement contained in any
5
of such information or materials or made in any such presentation shall be deemed a representation or warranty hereunder or otherwise or deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser in executing, delivering and performing this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the Purchaser represents that it has not relied on any Evaluation Material.

The restrictions set forth in this Section 5 shall terminate upon a Sale Event (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) or a QPO (as defined in the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation).
SECTION 6. Financial Information. Notwithstanding the fact that the Purchaser will not be a 5% Holder (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser the financial information contemplated to be furnished to 5% Holders pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(b) of the Stockholders Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. In addition, the Purchaser may from time to time (but not more than once per calendar quarter) submit a written inquiry to the Company as to whether the Company has in a new primary issuance issued shares of capital stock (excluding issuances due to option or warrant exercises), in which case the Company shall inform the Purchaser as to whether any such new issuances of shares of capital stock have occurred and, if such issuance has occurred, the valuation of the Company implied by such issuance.

(a) Registration Rights. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act for sale to the public (except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering such shares for sale to the public), then, for as long as the Purchaser owns any shares of Common Stock of the Company, each such time it will give written notice at the applicable address of record to the Purchaser of its intention to do so.

Stock of the Purchaser to be registered under the Securities Act and qualified for sale under any state blue sky law, all to the extent required to permit such sale or other disposition of such shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that if the Company is advised in writing in good faith by any managing underwriter of the Company’s securities being offered in a public offering pursuant to such registration statement that the amount to be sold by persons other than the Company (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) is greater than the amount which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the Company may reduce the amount offered for the accounts of the Selling Stockholders (including the Purchaser) to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter.
(b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (including its partners (including partners of partners and shareholders of such partners)) and directors, officers, employees and agents of the Purchaser, and each other Person who participates in the offering of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Liability”), joint or several, to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such Liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus used in connection with any offering, including but not limited to, any free writing prospectus used by the Company, the underwriters or the stockholders of the Company, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any sale or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration.

(c) Indemnification by the Purchaser. If any of the Purchaser’s securities are included in a registration being effected, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each other selling holder of any securities, the Company, its directors and officers, employees and agents, each underwriter and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or such underwriter (collectively, the “Other Indemnified
7
Persons”), against any Liability, joint or several, to which any such Other Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such Liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request of the Purchaser, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus used in connection with such offering, including but not limited to, any free writing prospectus used by the Company, the underwriters or the any stockholder of the Company, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission by the Purchaser to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any information provided at the instruction of the Purchaser to any Person participating in the offer at the point of sale containing any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting any material fact required to be included in such information or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, free writing prospectus, or other information, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use therein. The Purchaser shall reimburse any Other Indemnified Person for any legal fees incurred in investigating or defending any such Liability; provided, however, that in no event shall the Liability of the Purchaser for indemnification under this Section 7(c) in its capacity as a seller of Registrable Securities exceed the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total securities sold under such registration statement which is being held by the Purchaser, or (ii) the amount equal to the proceeds to the Purchaser of the securities sold in any such registration; provided, further, that no selling Stockholder shall be required to indemnify any Person against any Liability arising from any untrue or misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final prospectus or for any Liability which arises out of the failure of any Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act.

All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of the Company, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement; except that (i) each party to the Stockholders Agreement shall be a third party beneficiary to Section 5, (ii) each Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be a third party beneficiary to Section 7(b), and (iii) each Other Indemnified Party shall be a third party beneficiary to Section 7(c), in each case, with the right to enforce such provision.
(k) Law Governing. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
(l) Remedies. It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any party hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other party or third party beneficiaries hereto, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which they may have, such other party or third party beneficiaries may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by law) and the Company may refuse to recognize any unauthorized transferee as one of its stockholders for any purpose, including, without limitation, for purposes of dividend and voting rights, until the relevant party or parties have complied with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement.
(m) Dispute Resolution. The parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any dispute that may arise under or with respect to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”); provided, however, the parties shall work in good faith to resolve any such Dispute for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed fifteen (15) business days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties). Any Dispute that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in English in the State of Delaware by a panel of three arbitrators. The parties agree that the existence, conduct and content of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 9(m) shall be kept confidential and no party shall disclose to any Person any information about such arbitration, except in connection with such arbitration or as may be required by Law. The decision and award of any such arbitrator shall be final, non-appealable and binding upon the parties involved in such Dispute, and shall be enforceable by any such party in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any party hereto may elect to seek injunctive relief and other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction with respect a Dispute, and (ii) if a party hereto is seeking an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any Dispute, such party may elect to seek such remedy from a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 9(n) of this Agreement without submitting such Dispute to arbitration pursuant to this Section 9(m).

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9(n) SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or portable document format (“.pdf”)) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
