The parties desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which Seller will sell and transfer (or cause to be sold and transferred) to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, (i) all of the Company’s membership interest (and all units representing the same) held as of the Agreement Date by Seller or its permitted transferees thereof, and (ii) any additional membership interests of the Company (and all units representing the same) held as of the Closing Date (as defined below) by Seller or its permitted transferees (the interests and units in this clause (ii), “Additional Interests”), it being understood that Buyer’s purchase of such Additional Interests is subject to the AHR Non-Funding Exception in Section 2.1(c) requiring each AHR Member (as defined below) to fund its then full pro rata share of such Additional Capital Contribution (such membership interests so sold, transferred and purchased, collectively, the “Purchased Company Interests”).

Furthermore, in the event that Manager elects to fund acquisitions (other than purchase options in accordance with the terms of the existing lease or development joint ventures) at the Company or any of its subsidiaries with equity during the term of this Agreement, then the amount of equity so funded shall reduce amounts available to be called in accordance with Section 3.03(i) of the LLC Agreement for “Identified Initiatives” as set forth in the Approved Business Plan (but not to less than zero). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.9(c) shall in any way modify the rights and the obligations of the members of the Company during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to under Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 of the LLC Agreement or Article Four of the LLC Agreement, and Seller’s agreement not to assert any Claims during the term of this Agreement arising out of or relating to distributions of Available Cash under Article Four of the LLC Agreement herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any Claims thereunder.

Seller has read and understands Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECTS TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” Seller hereby expressly waives all rights and benefits under that section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction. Section 6.10 Continuing Obligations. The rights of each Seller and its Affiliates to be indemnified under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument or applicable law are independent of and in addition to any rights of Seller or its Affiliates to be indemnified under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the rights of Seller and its Affiliates and the obligations of the Company to indemnify Seller or its Affiliates under the LLC Agreement and in connection with any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Seller or its Affiliates by a third party in connection with the LLC Agreement or Seller’s ownership interest in the Company, shall remain in full force and effect following the Closing Date consistent with, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 5.04(b) of the LLC Agreement.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the general obligation at law of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any Damages which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by an Indemnifying Party of any representation or warranty, covenant, condition or obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

Accrued but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable or on the date of redemption, as the case may be. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series A Preferred Stock and those of any Parity Securities as to dividend rights shall be authorized in a manner that is pro rata across all of them so that the amount of dividends authorized per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other Parity Security shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the accrued dividends per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other Parity Security bear to each other; it being understood that accrued dividends in respect of any Parity Security as to dividend rights shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such other Parity Security does not have a cumulative dividend. In addition, except as provided in this subparagraph (c) of this Section 4, and subject to subparagraph (d) of this Section 4, unless full accumulated dividends on the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid, or authorized and declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment, for all past dividend periods, (i) no Common Shares or any other Junior Securities as to dividend rights shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such securities) by the Corporation, and (ii) no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Parity Securities shall be redeemed by the Corporation. (d) The limitations in subparagraph (c) of this Section 4 shall not however apply to (i) any redemption in which all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed or outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemed in part on a pro rata basis; (ii) any redemption in which all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights are simultaneously redeemed or outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights are redeemed in part on a pro rata basis; (iii) any dividend or distribution payable in Common Shares or other Junior Securities as to dividend rights, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share; (iv) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Common Shares or other Junior Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights only in connection with the payment of applicable taxes as part of any benefit or other incentive plan, including any employment contract; (v) purchases of fractional interests in Common Shares or in any other Junior Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Common Shares or such other Junior Securities or any securities exchangeable for or convertible into such Common Shares or such other Junior Securities; (vi) any dividends or distributions of Common Shares or other Junior Securities (including fractions thereof), including any rights to Common Shares or other Junior Securities, in connection with a stockholders’ rights plan, stockholders’ rights agreement or other similar “poison pill” arrangement; (vii) the exchange or conversion of Junior Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights for or into other Junior Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights or of Parity Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights for or into other Parity Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) and/or for or into Junior Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights, and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares; (viii) the purchase or other acquisition by the Corporation of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to the Holders of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (ix) the purchase or other acquisition by the Corporation of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to the then holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities. 7 753949568.26 (e) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code) (the “Capital Gains Amount”) any portion of the dividends (as determined for federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes or series of capital stock, then, except as otherwise required by applicable law, the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to the Holders shall be the amount that the total dividends (as determined for federal income tax purposes) paid or made available to the Holders for the year bears to the total dividends (as determined for federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for the year to holders of all classes or series of capital stock. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Corporation will make a similar allocation with respect to any undistributed long-term capital gains of the Corporation that are to be included in its stockholders’ long-term capital gains based on the allocation of the Capital Gains Amount that would have resulted if such undistributed long-term capital gains had been distributed as “capital gains dividends” by the Corporation to its stockholders. 5. Liquidation Preference. (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (referred to herein sometimes as a “Liquidation Event”; it being understood that a Fundamental Change shall not constitute a Liquidation Event), the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of legally available funds, the sum of (i) the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment thereof, but without interest, before any distribution of assets is made to any holders of Common Shares or any other classes or series of Junior Securities as to liquidation rights that the Corporation then has outstanding. (b) If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to make full payment of the Liquidation Preference plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to Holders and the amounts due upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation with respect to the shares of any class or series of Parity Securities as to liquidation rights, then the Holders and the holders of all other such classes or series of Parity Securities as to liquidation rights shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. (c) Written notice of any such Liquidation Event, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days immediately preceding the payment date stated therein, to each Holder at the respective addresses of such Holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. (d) After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends, to which Holders are entitled, a Holder shall have no right or claim to participate in any further distribution of, or to receive, any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. In determining whether a distribution (other than upon a Liquidation Event) by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or otherwise is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, no effect shall be given to amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock upon dissolution of the Corporation. 6. Redemption at the Option of Holders. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, then each Holder shall have the right (a “Holder Put Right”), at such Holder’s option, to require the Corporation to redeem for cash, out of funds legally available therefor, any or all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a date specified by the Corporation (the “Holder Put Date”) that can be no later than 60 days following the date of delivery by the Corporation of a notice of the Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) at the Redemption Price.

8 753949568.26 (b) Procedures for Holder Put Right. (i) Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall provide to the Holders a Fundamental Change Notice, which notice shall be addressed to the respective Holders at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and shall specify: (i) the events constituting the Fundamental Change; (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change; (iii) the Holder Put Date; (iv) the Redemption Price; (v) the date prior to which a Holder is required to deliver a completed redemption notice to the Corporation stating the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, which delivery date shall be no earlier than 10 Business Days following the delivery of the Fundamental Change Notice; (vi) the place or places where the certificates, if any, representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (vii) the procedures for surrendering uncertificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock for payment of the Redemption Price. The failure of the Corporation to give the foregoing Fundamental Change Notice or any defect contained therein shall not limit the redemption rights of the Holders or affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. (ii) On or after the Holder Put Date, each Holder of shares to be redeemed shall present and surrender the certificates, if any, representing such Xxxxxx’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation at a place designated therefor in the Fundamental Change Notice, and upon such presentation and surrender, the Corporation shall thereupon pay the Redemption Price of such shares, without interest, to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall then be canceled, or, in the case of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price of such shares, without interest, in the name of the Holder through book-entry transfer. If a Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock are certificated and fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. (iii) If (A) the Holder Put Right has been exercised in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section 6, (B) the funds necessary for the redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder exercising its Holder Put Right have been set apart by the Corporation in trust for the benefit of such Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so tendered for redemption and (C) irrevocable instructions have been given to the applicable paying agent to pay the Redemption Price, then from and after the Holder Put Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders in respect of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the Redemption Price in cash (without interest). (iv) If a Holder Put Date is prior to the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend, such Holder will not have the right to receive any declared dividends in respect of the redeemed shares. If a Holder Put Date is on or after the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend and prior to the Dividend Payment Date, such Holder shall receive that dividend in respect of the redeemed shares on the relevant Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding such redemption, and the Redemption Price otherwise payable on such redeemed shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the full dividend payable on the Dividend Payment Date on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed. 7. Optional Redemption by the Corporation. (a) The Corporation shall have the right (a “Corporation Redemption Right”), in its discretion, upon giving a notice in accordance with subparagraph (c)(i) of this Section 7 (the “Corporation Redemption Notice”) in advance of the date fixed for redemption (the “Corporation Redemption Date”), at any time and from time to time, to redeem (in whole or in part) any or all of each Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock in cash at the Redemption Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not redeem, at any one time, shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate Liquidation Preference of less than $25 million, and, in the event the aggregate Liquidation Preference of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is less than $50 million, the Corporation (if it exercises its Corporation Redemption Right) may only so redeem in whole and not in part. (b) If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to the Corporation Redemption Right, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of 9 753949568.26 Directors and the shares to be redeemed will be selected by the Board of Directors pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) from the Holders of such shares in proportion to the number of such shares held by such Holders, by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may determine as fair and equitable. If such redemption is to be non-pro rata and, as a result of such redemption, (i) any Holder (other than an Excepted Holder) would Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, (ii) any Holder (other than an Excepted Holder) would Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Common Share Ownership Limit, or (iii) any Excepted Holder would Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder, in each case, because such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock were not redeemed, or were only redeemed in part, then, except as otherwise provided in the Charter (including these Articles Supplementary), the Corporation shall redeem the requisite number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Holders such that no Holder will hold shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the applicable ownership limit or otherwise violate Section 11 of these Articles Supplementary or Article VII of the Charter upon such redemption. (c) Procedures for Corporation Redemption Right. (i) Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph (c)(i), the Corporation Redemption Notice pursuant to this Section 7 shall be addressed by the Corporation to the respective Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, and mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, as of a date set by the Corporation that is not more than 60 days prior to the Corporation Redemption Date (but, if the Holder will then have an Optional Conversion Right, then subject to its Conversion Priority Right if applicable). Failure to give such Corporation Redemption Notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to shares held by a Holder to whom notice was defective or not given; provided that a Corporation Redemption Notice given to the last address of record of a Holder shall be deemed to be valid notice. In addition to any information required by law or the applicable rules of any National Securities Exchange upon which shares of Series A Preferred Stock may then be listed or admitted to trading, each Corporation Redemption Notice shall state: (A) the Corporation Redemption Date (but, if the Holder will then have an Optional Conversion Right, then the Corporation Redemption Notice shall also indicate that the Holder may have the Conversion Priority Right); (B) the Redemption Price; (C) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (or, if less than all the shares held by any Holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed from such Holder); (D) the place or places where the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment, together with the certificates, if any, representing such shares (duly endorsed for transfer) and any other documents the Corporation requires in connection with such redemption; and (E) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the Corporation Redemption Date. The Corporation shall additionally issue a press release and post notice on the Corporation’s website following any date on which the Corporation provides a Corporation Redemption Notice under this subparagraph (c)(i). (ii) On or after the Corporation Redemption Date, each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender the certificates, if any, representing such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation at a place designated therefor in the Corporation Redemption Notice, and upon such presentation and surrender, the Corporation shall thereupon pay the Redemption Price of such shares, without interest, to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall then be canceled, or, in the case of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price of such shares, without interest, in the name of the Holder through book-entry transfer. If a Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock are certificated and fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. (iii) If (A) a Corporation Redemption Notice has been given in accordance with subparagraph (c)(i) of this Section 7, (B) the funds necessary for such redemption have been set apart by the Corporation in trust for the benefit of the Holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption and (C) irrevocable instructions have been given to the applicable paying agent to pay the Redemption Price, then from and after the Corporation Redemption Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders in respect of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the Redemption Price in cash (without interest). 10 753949568.26 (iv) If a Corporation Redemption Date is prior to the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend, such Holder will not have the right to receive any declared dividends in respect of the redeemed shares. If a Corporation Redemption Date is on or after the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend and prior to the Dividend Payment Date, such Holder shall receive that dividend in respect of the redeemed shares on the relevant Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding such redemption and the Redemption Price otherwise payable on such redeemed shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the full dividend payable on the Dividend Payment Date on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed. 8. Conversion at Option of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any property or other securities of the Corporation or any other Person. (b) Subject to Section 8(e)(i), Section 8(e)(ii) and Section 8(e)(v), each Holder shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, after June 30, 2026 to convert (such right, the “Optional Conversion Right”) some or all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a number of Common Shares per each share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Rate (the “Common Share Conversion Consideration”) following the delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Corporation that is signed by the Holder (the “Conversion Notice”). The Conversion Notice shall set forth (i) the requested Business Day for conversion, which may not be less than 10 days after the date the Corporation has received the Conversion Notice, and (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be so converted. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, but subject to Section 8(e)(i), Section 8(e)(ii), Section 8(e)(v) and the following proviso, if the foregoing Optional Conversion Right is then exercisable, a Holder may exercise its Optional Conversion Right even after the Corporation’s delivery of a Corporation Redemption Notice under subparagraph (c)(i) of Section 7 (but only during the 30-day period following the Corporation’s delivery of such Corporation Redemption Notice), and if the Holder does so exercise within that period, then the Corporation shall not be permitted to consummate its Corporation Redemption Right in respect of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which the Holder has instead exercised its Optional Conversion Right and such shares shall instead be so converted (a “Conversion Priority Right”). (c) If there occurs a Fundamental Change pursuant to which Common Shares shall be converted into the right to receive, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (“Alternative Form Consideration”), then, from and after such Fundamental Change, each Holder shall only have a right to receive, upon conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the same amount and kind of Alternative Form Consideration as such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Change if such Holder had held a number of Common Shares equal to the Common Share Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of such Fundamental Change. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder shall have no entitlement to convert its Series A Preferred Stock into Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation (or of any successor corporation or any other Person) from and after such Fundamental Change, but shall only have the right to receive (upon conversion) the Alternative Form Consideration. (d) “Conversion Rate” means an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Liquidation Preference, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but not including, the Optional Conversion Date, by (ii) the lesser of (x) the NAV per share and (y) 125% of the Common Share Price. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted pro rata for any stock splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of Common Shares), subdivisions or combinations (in each case, a “Stock Split”) with respect to the Common Shares such that the adjusted number of Common Shares into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible after a Stock Split shall be the number of Common Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Stock Split by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Stock Split and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Stock Split. (e) Miscellaneous. (i) In connection with this Section 8 and prior to each exercise of its Optional Conversion Right, each Holder shall have obtained and complied with all Requisite Approvals (if any) in connection with such exercise. 11 753949568.26 (ii) A Holder may not on any one occasion convert fewer than 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to its Optional Conversion Right, unless at such time the Holder then holds less than 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in which case the Holder may only so convert all (and not less than all) of such shares. In addition, no fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, Holders shall receive the cash value of such fractional shares based on the applicable Conversion Rate. (iii) To exercise an Optional Conversion Right, if a Holder’s interest is in certificated form, such Holder must do each of the following on the Optional Conversion Date in order to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock: (A) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice, or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice, and deliver the same to the Corporation’s transfer agent; (B) surrender the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation’s transfer agent; (C) if required by the transfer agent, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and (D) if due as a result thereof, pay all transfer or similar taxes. If a Holder’s interest is a beneficial interest in a global certificate representing Series A Preferred Stock, then in order to convert such Holder must comply with clauses (C) and (D) of this Section 8(e)(iii) and comply with applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company for converting a beneficial interest in a global security. The Corporation’s transfer agent shall, on a Holder’s behalf, convert the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Shares in accordance with the proper terms of the notice delivered by such Holder described in this Section 8(e)(iii). (iv) On the Optional Conversion Date, dividends on the converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be authorized or declared, and such shares shall no longer be outstanding, subject to the rights of the Holders thereof to receive the applicable conversion consideration. (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, no Holder will be entitled to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Shares or Alternative Form Consideration to the extent that receipt of such Common Shares or Alternative Form Consideration (A) would cause such Holder or any other Person (other than an Excepted Holder) to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, (B) would cause such Holder or any other Person (other than an Excepted Holder) to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Common Share Ownership Limit, (C) would cause such Holder (if it is an Excepted Holder) or any other Person that is an Excepted Holder to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder, or (D) would cause such Holder or any other Person to otherwise violate Section 11 of these Articles Supplementary or Article VII of the Charter. (vi) No allowance or adjustment in respect of unconverted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of dividends payable to holders of the Common Shares of record as of any date prior to the close of business on the Optional Conversion Date in respect of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Prior to the close of business on the Optional Conversion Date, Common Shares issuable upon conversion of, or other securities issuable upon conversion of, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted on such date shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and Holders shall have no rights with respect to such Common Shares or such other securities (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for such Common Shares or other securities and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on such Common Shares or other securities) by virtue of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. (vii) If an Optional Conversion Date on which a Holder elects to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock is prior to the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend, such Holder will not have the right to receive any declared dividends in respect of the converted shares. If an Optional Conversion Date on which a Holder elects to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock is on or after the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend and prior to the Dividend Payment Date, such Holder shall receive that dividend in respect of the converted shares on the relevant Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion and the amount of the full dividend payable on the Dividend Payment Date on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being converted shall not be considered in determining the Conversion Rate applicable to the conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 9. Voting Rights. (a) Holders shall not have any voting rights, except as set forth below.
![slide17](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1503707/000150370723000031/projectbeacon-membership017.jpg)
12 753949568.26 (b) Subject to the first sentence of subparagraph (c) of this Section 9, whenever dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive (a “Preferred Dividend Default”), the Holders, voting together as a single class with the holders of all Parity Securities (whether as to dividend rights, liquidation rights or as to both dividend rights and liquidation rights) and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are then exercisable (the “Voting Parity Preferred Shares”), shall be entitled to elect a total of two additional directors to the Board of Directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”) at a special meeting called by the Holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On any matter in which the Holders are entitled to vote (as expressly provided in subparagraph (d) of this Section 9), including any action by written consent, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have one vote per share. The Preferred Stock Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast collectively by the Holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Voting Parity Preferred Shares, voting together (as a single class), to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and their successors are duly elected and qualify or until such Preferred Stock Directors’ right to hold the office terminates pursuant to a Preferred Dividend Remedy Event, whichever occurs earliest. (c) If and when with respect to a Preferred Dividend Default all accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full (a “Preferred Dividend Remedy Event”), the Holders shall be divested of the voting rights set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Section 9 (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Dividend Default) and the term of office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate. Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the vote or consent of, and shall not be removed otherwise than by the affirmative vote of the Holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Voting Parity Preferred Shares, voting together (as a single class), entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast (or, if the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then listed on a National Securities Exchange, such higher vote threshold as is required to comply with the applicable listing eligibility rules and standards of such National Securities Exchange) pursuant to subparagraph (b) of Section 9. So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a plurality of the votes cast collectively by the Holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Voting Parity Preferred Shares, voting together (as a single class). The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter submitted for vote before the Board of Directors. (d) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or the Charter, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, if the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then listed on a National Securities Exchange, such higher consent threshold as is required to comply with the applicable listing eligibility rules and standards of such National Securities Exchange), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (such series voting separately as a class): (i) authorize, create or issue, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or liquidation rights, or reclassify any authorized equity securities of the Corporation that were not previously so senior into any such senior equity securities, or authorize, create or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such senior equity securities; or (ii) subject to subparagraph (e) of this Section 9, amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Charter (including these Articles Supplementary), whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise, so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock. (e) In connection with clause (ii) of Section 9(d): (A) so long as the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that, upon the occurrence of a merger or consolidation, the Corporation may not be the surviving entity and the surviving entity may not be a corporation, the occurrence of a merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or other event shall not be deemed to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock, and, in such case, the Holders shall not have voting rights under clause (ii) of Section 9(d) with respect thereto; (B) even if the Series A Preferred Stock would not remain outstanding (or would remain outstanding but its terms would be materially changed) following a merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or other event, if a Holder will receive, in connection with such merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or other event, the consideration to which it would otherwise be entitled under these Articles Supplementary upon a Liquidation Event 13 753949568.26 as provided in Section 5 above or exercise of a Holder Put Right as provided in Section 6 above, then such Holders shall not have any voting rights under clause (ii) of Section 9(d) with respect thereto; and (C) an amendment, alteration or repeal of the provisions of the Charter (including these Articles Supplementary) to authorize, create, issue, increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, to amend or alter the terms of, or to eliminate, any class or series of Junior Securities or Parity Securities as to dividend rights or liquidation rights shall not be deemed to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock, and, in such case, the Holders shall not have voting rights under clause (ii) of Section 9(d) with respect thereto. (f) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote or consent would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called or submitted for redemption upon proper notice, and sufficient funds shall have been set apart for such redemption, or if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been converted into Common Shares or submitted for conversion into Common Shares. 10. Information Rights. During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will transmit by mail or other permissible means under the Exchange Act to such Holder as its name and address appear in the Corporation’s record books and without cost to such Holder: (a) within 15 Business Days after the next date by which the Corporation would be required to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for a fiscal year with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Corporation were subject thereto: (i) an audited balance sheet as of the end of such year; (ii) audited statements of income or operations and of cash flows for such year; (iii) a statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such year, with all such financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and (iv) a copy of management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation (the “MD&A”) for such year; and (b) within 15 Business Days after the next date by which the Corporation would be required to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a fiscal quarter with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Corporation were subject thereto: (i) an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such quarter; (ii) unaudited statements of income or operations and of cash flows for such quarter; (iii) a statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such quarter, with all such financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (except that such unaudited financial statements may be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments); and (iv) a copy of the MD&A for such quarter. 11. Ownership Limitations. The Series A Preferred Stock constitutes a class of Preferred Shares, and Preferred Shares constitute Shares of the Corporation. As such, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit applicable with respect to Shares generally and to all other restrictions and limitations on the Transfer and Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership of Shares set forth in the Charter and applicable to Shares.

(vi) If at any time an Individual would be considered to Beneficially Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit or the Common Share Ownership Limit by reason of the ownership of Shares by the Investor, then the waiver of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and the Common Share Ownership Limit granted pursuant to this waiver shall be rescinded automatically, with no further action by any person, with immediate effect and without prior notice, and Shares Beneficially Owned by the Investor shall be governed by the otherwise applicable provisions as set forth in Article VII of the Articles.

(viii) The Investor shall promptly provide to the Company such information as the Company or the Board of Directors may reasonably request to determine the effect of such Investor’s ownership of Shares on the Company’s status as a REIT (including the impact, if any, of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code and on the Company’s ability to satisfy the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code), provided that the Company agrees it will not publicly disclose such information or the waiver granted herein other than as required by law, rule or regulation. (ix) The Investor covenants that, after the date hereof, it will immediately notify the Company of any date on which the foregoing representations and warranties are no longer true and correct in all respects. (x) If the Investor violates any of the representations or undertakings in this waiver (or takes any other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Sections 7.1.1 through 7.1.6 of the Articles), other than as a result of a stock dividend, rights dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company, then the waiver of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and the Common Share Ownership Limit granted pursuant to this waiver

Within 10 Business Days after receipt of such request, if the Company chooses to seek to effect the registration contemplated by this Section 2, then the Company will give written notice of such Demand Registration request to all other Holders and include in such registration all such Registerable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five Business Days after the mailing of the Company’s notice to the applicable Holder. Each such request must specify the number of Registerable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof in order to be included in such registration. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) below, if the Company chooses to seek to effect the registration contemplated by this Section 2, then the Company need not effect more than two Demand Registrations in total in order for the Company to continue to have the benefit of the Dividend Cap. The number of Registerable Securities proposed to be sold by the Initiating Holders either (i) shall be all the Registerable Securities or (ii) shall have a Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of at least $25,000,000. If the Company chooses to seek to effect the registration contemplated by this Section 2, then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Demand Registration Statement no later than 45 days after the Initiating Holders’ request for a Demand Registration in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3 and 90 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-11 or such other appropriate form. If the Company chooses to seek to effect the registration contemplated by this Section 2, then it will use its commercially reasonable efforts 5 4877-1320-6390v 12 to keep any Demand Registration Statement continuously effective (which shall include, but not be limited to, updating and amending the Demand Registration, if applicable, upon the issuance of Registerable Securities) and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for sale of such Registerable Securities until the 90th day following its initial effectiveness. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company need not seek to effect the registration contemplated by this Section 2(a) but in such case will not have the continued benefit of the Dividend Cap. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the Registerable Securities are issued by the Company following its exercise of the Second Extension Option, the Holders shall have no rights to request a Demand Registration or a Demand Registration Statement under this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, if at the time the Company receives a request for a Demand Registration, the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may include all or part of the Registerable Securities covered by such request in such Shelf Registration Statement, including by virtue of including the Registerable Securities in a prospectus supplement to such Shelf Registration Statement and filing such prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act (in which event, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section 2 with respect to such Demand Registration request and such Shelf Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a Demand Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement). (c) If the Demand Registration will be made in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriters of the requested Demand Registration advise the Company and the Holders that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of Registerable Shares proposed to be included in the Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registerable Shares that can be sold in an Underwritten Offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering price per share) (such maximum number of shares, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), and if the Company chooses to seek to effect the registration contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof, then the Company will include in such Demand Registration only such number of Registerable Shares that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, can be sold without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering price per share), with such Maximum Number of Shares allocated, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holders, (i) first, the number of Registerable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders, pro rata among the Holders on the basis of the number of Registerable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders and (ii) second (and only to the extent the number of Registerable Securities to be sold by the Holders is less than the Maximum Number of Shares), the Registerable Shares requested to be included in such registration by other Persons (including, if applicable, the Company) pro rata among such other Persons on the basis of the number of Registerable Shares requested to be included by such Persons. (d) In connection with any Demand Registration, the Company shall have the right to (i) select the managing underwriters and any additional underwriters (and their roles) in the offering and (ii) determine the structure of the offering and negotiate the terms of any underwriting agreement as they relate to the Holders, including: (A) the number of shares to be sold (if not all shares offered can be sold at the highest price offered by the underwriters); provided that the request provided by Holders pursuant to Section 2(a) requesting the number of Registerable Securities to be listed are all included to the extent the Maximum Number of Shares is not exceeded; and (B) the offering price and underwriting discount; provided that the identity of the managing underwriters and any additional underwriters and such structure and terms are reasonably acceptable to the Holders; provided, further that, if the sale of Registerable Securities in an Underwritten Offering is not completed pursuant to this Section 2(d) after the public announcement of the launch of such Underwritten Offering, the Holders of such Registerable Securities shall pay all Selling Expenses incurred by such Holders and reimburse the Company for its reasonable out- of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to such uncompleted sale. 6 4877-1320-6390v 12 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company chooses to seek to effect the registration contemplated by Section 2(a) above, and if the Board determines that the filing of a Demand Registration Statement would: (i) be detrimental to the Company in that such registration would interfere with a material corporate transaction; (ii) according to the underwriters of an underwritten public offering of shares of Capital Stock by the Company, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s offering; (iii) require the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company that at the time is not, in the judgment of the Board, in the best interest of the Company to disclose and is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose at such time; or (iv) require the disclosure of a significant bona fide business opportunity (including the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), including any significant merger, consolidation, tender offer, or other similar transaction) available to the Company that the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interests to disclose, then the Company will have the right to defer such filing for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than 60 days in any 90-day period or more than 120 days in any 365-day period); provided that the Board may only defer such filing two times in any one-year period. The Company will give written notice of its determination to such Initiating Holders to defer the filing and of the fact that the purpose for such deferral no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a filing has been deferred, the notice and the contents of such notice for the duration of the deferral or until otherwise notified by the Company, except (i) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential and (ii) as required by law, rule or regulation. If the Company shall postpone the filing of a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2(e), the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding held by the Initiating Holders shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration on behalf of all Initiating Holders. Such withdrawn registration request shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2 (and shall not be counted as a permitted Demand Registration), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. (f) Subject to Section 2(g), a registration shall not count as a permitted Demand Registration until it has become effective under the Securities Act. A request for a Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding held by the Initiating Holders for which registration was requested in the Demand Registration (a “Withdrawn Request”), and, if the filed Demand Registration Statement is not an automatic Shelf Registration Statement, a Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof by the Holders holding a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding held by the Initiating Holders for which registration was requested in the Demand Registration (a “Withdrawn Demand Registration”), and, subject to Section 2(g), such withdrawals shall be treated as a permitted Demand Registration which shall have been effected pursuant to this Section 2 unless the Holders of Registerable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration (to the extent actually incurred); provided, however, that if a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn Demand Registration is made because (i) of a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or prospects of the Company, (ii) of a postponement of such registration pursuant to Section 2(e) or (iii) of the occurrence of any event that would reasonably be expected to permit the Company to exercise its rights to suspend the use of a Demand Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3, then such withdrawal shall not be treated as a permitted Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2, and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. (g) The Company and the Holders shall cooperate in good faith to determine the Minimum Holders Condition in consultation with the applicable National Securities Exchange. In the event that prior to the Initiating Holder’s distribution or sale of the Registerable Securities the applicable National Securities Exchange determines that the Minimum Holders Condition has not been satisfied, the Company and the

7 4877-1320-6390v 12 Initiating Holders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to adjust the number of shares and plan of distribution accordingly to satisfy the Minimum Holders Condition. If the Initiating Holders are not willing to adjust the number of shares and plan of distribution in a manner that would satisfy the Minimum Holders Condition, the Company shall have no further obligations with respect to such Demand Registration and may withdraw or suspend such Demand Registration, and, in such case, the Company will be deemed to have taken all actions necessary for it to continue to have the benefit of the Dividend Cap notwithstanding such withdrawal or suspension; and further, in such case, the Holders of Registerable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable Registration Expenses relating to such Demand Registration and such Demand Registration shall be counted as a permitted Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2(a). (h) Subject to the following provisos and Section 2(g) and Section 2(i), in the event that (i) the Initiating Holders provide written notice to the Company requesting a registration under Section 2(a) to distribute or sell their Registerable Securities issued by the Company (other than following the Company’s exercise of the Second Extension Option) or (ii) the Holders of a majority of then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock have provided written notice that they plan to affect a distribution or sale of their Registerable Securities issued by the Company following its exercise of the Second Extension Option, in each case, that would result in the Minimum Holders Condition being met upon such distribution or sale (and if the Minimum Holders Condition is in fact met upon such distribution or sale) and that has a proposed distribution or sale date that is at least 5 days prior to the applicable listing deadline set forth below, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and provided such distribution or sale occurs at least 5 days prior to the applicable listing deadline set forth below, such Registerable Securities must be listed on a National Securities Exchange on or before the first anniversary of the Company’s receipt of such written notice for the Company to have the continued benefit of the Dividend Cap; provided, if such Registerable Securities are issued by the Company following its exercise of the Second Extension Option (and the Company receives the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and such distribution or sale occurs at least 5 days prior to the applicable listing deadline set forth below), such Registerable Securities must be listed on a National Securities Exchange on or before the later of September 30, 2025 and 15 days following the Company’s receipt of such notice for the Company to have the continued benefit of the Dividend Cap; provided, however, that, if Holder does not cooperate in good faith with the Company to satisfy the Minimum Holders Condition in consultation with the applicable National Securities Exchange after such distribution or sale, the Company may cease its efforts to list (or maintain the listing of) the Registerable Securities, and, in such case, the Company will be deemed to have taken all actions necessary for it to continue to have the benefit of the Dividend Cap. (i) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company need not comply with the terms of this Agreement but in such case will not have the continued benefit of the Dividend Cap. Section 3. Suspension. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(e), Section 2(g) and Section 3(e) below, in the event that the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the filing of a Demand Registration Statement under Section 2(a), or the use of an effective Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or any related Prospectus, the Company may, upon delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders of Registerable Securities covered by any such effective registration statement, suspend the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than 60 days in any 90-day period or more than 120 days in any 365-day period), if any of the following events will occur: (i) the underwriters of an underwritten public offering of shares of Capital Stock by the Company advise the Company that the 8 4877-1320-6390v 12 concurrent resale of the Registerable Securities by the Holders pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s offering; (ii) there is material non-public information regarding the Company that (A) the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose, (B) would, in the good faith determination of the Company, require a revision to the Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, so that it will not contain any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (C) the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose at such time; or (iii) there is a significant bona fide business opportunity (including the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), including any significant merger, consolidation, tender offer, or other similar transaction) available to the Company that the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interests to disclose. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company delivering to the Holders an End of Suspension Notice or (ii) the end of the maximum permissible suspension period, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Demand Registration Statement, if and as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registerable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e), in the event that (i) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension or (ii) the consummation of any business combination or acquisition by the Company has occurred or is probable that would require the Company to file financial statements with the SEC under Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the Company may (A) suspend the rights of the Holders to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration of any Registerable Securities and (B) upon delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders with Registerable Securities covered by an effective Demand Registration Statement, may direct such Holders to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement (in each case, to the extent required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), until the date on which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Demand Registration Statement. In such case, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file such reports or obtain and file the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e), with respect to any underwritten public offering of Capital Stock by the Company, each Holder agrees not to directly or indirectly sell, offer for sale or otherwise transfer any Registerable Securities during any of the following periods: (i) unless the managing underwriters administering the offering otherwise agree, the period commencing 10 days prior to the anticipated effective date of a registration statement for any underwritten public offering of Capital Stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Capital Stock) and ending 90 days after such effectiveness and (ii) if the Demand Registration Statement is a Shelf Registration Statement, unless the managing underwriters administering the offering otherwise agree, the period commencing 10 days prior to the anticipated date of the Company’s notice of commencement of distribution in connection with such offering and ending 90 days after the commencement of such distribution. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3(c): (i) any applicable period shall terminate on such earlier date as the Company gives notice to the Holders that the Company declines to proceed with any such offering set forth in this Section 3(c); (ii) all executive officers and directors of the Company then holding shares of Capital Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Capital Stock shall enter into similar agreements for not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder; and (iii) the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any executive officer or director that entered into similar agreements. 9 4877-1320-6390v 12 (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e), upon any of the following events: (i) the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (ii) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; or (iii) the happening of any event during the period such registration statement is effective (other than the events covered in Section 3(a)) as a result of which such registration statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or such Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; the Company will deliver a Suspension Notice to the Holders with Registerable Securities covered by any such Demand Registration Statement to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities. (e) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of an effective Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or the related Prospectus pursuant to this Section 3 (each, a “Suspension Event”), the Company will give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Holders with Registerable Securities covered by such effective registration statement to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities, and such notice will state that such suspension will continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of such registration statement and any related Prospectus as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Suspension Event has occurred, the Suspension Notice and the contents of such Suspension Notice for the duration of the suspension or until otherwise notified by the Company, except (i) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential and (ii) as required by law, rule or regulation. The Holders will not affect any sales of the Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. If so directed by the Company, the Holders will deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in the Holders’ possession of the Prospectus covering the Registerable Securities at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. Any Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registerable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration Statement following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice will be given by the Company to the Holders in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. Section 4. Registration Procedures. Whenever Holders request a Demand Registration under Section 2, and if the Company chooses to seek to effect such registration (within the limitations of Section 2(a) above), then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registerable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof (which may include an Underwritten Offering), and in connection with any such request: (a) subject to Section 3, the Company will, within the time periods set forth in Section 3, prepare and file a Demand Registration Statement (on a Form S-3 or any form for which the Company then qualifies, or which counsel for the Company shall reasonably deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registerable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended distribution thereof), as applicable, which registration statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and remain continuously effective for so long as such registration statement is required to be kept effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registerable 10 4877-1320-6390v 12 Securities covered by such registration statement during the period in which such registration statement is required to be kept effective; (b) will (i) within a reasonable period of time prior to filing a registration statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Holder of Registerable Securities being registered reasonably complete drafts of such registration statement as proposed to be filed and provide each such Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to such information prior to such registration statement or such other registration statement, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Holder such number of conformed copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (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 such other documents proposed to be filed including documents that are to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement, amendment or supplement or as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; (c) will furnish to each Holder of Registerable Securities being registered, without charge, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits) other than those which are being incorporated into such registration statement by reference, such number of copies of the Prospectus contained in such registration statements (including each complete Prospectus and any summary or preliminary Prospectus) and any other Prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, including documents incorporated by reference, as any Holder or an underwriter, if any, of the Registerable Securities being registered may reasonably request, in each case, including each such amendment and supplement thereto, to the extent such other documents are not available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system), in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities by such Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Holders and their underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registerable Securities thereby); (d) subject to Section 3, (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period described in Section 4(a), (ii) cause each Prospectus contained therein to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act, and (iii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale of all securities covered by each such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution specified by the Holders; (e) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain exemption from registration or qualification for, the sale of all Registerable Securities by the time the applicable registration statement is declared effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption does not apply) as any Holder or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to Section 4(a), cooperate with the Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holders to consummate the sale in each such jurisdiction of such Registerable Securities owned by the Holders; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise

11 4877-1320-6390v 12 be required to qualify, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject to taxation or (iii) consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; (f) promptly notify the Holders and, if requested, confirm such advice in writing (i) when such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) unless a notice or Suspension Notice contemplated in Section 3(e) has been, or will promptly be, delivered to the Holders, of the happening of any event during the period such registration statement is effective as a result of which such registration statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or such Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (g) during the time periods referred to in Section 4(a), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of such registration statement or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registerable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as reasonably practicable; (h) except as provided in Section 2(e) or Section 3(a), upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d)(iii), use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such registration statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registerable Securities, such registration statement will 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 not misleading and such Prospectus will 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, upon request, promptly furnish to the Holders a reasonable number of copies of each such supplement or post-effective amendment; (i) enter into customary agreements and take all other commercially reasonable actions as the Holders reasonably request in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the distribution of the Registerable Securities, including, in the case of a Demand Registration and to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, making appropriate officers of the Company available to participate in a reasonable number of virtual “road shows” and one-on-one meetings with institutional investors and other customary marketing activities scheduled at reasonable times; (j) subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2(g) and Section 2(h), use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) list or include all Registerable Securities on such National Securities Exchange and enter into such customary agreements, including a supplemental listing application and indemnification agreement in customary form and (ii) cure the Company’s listing or inclusion application of any deficiencies cited by the National Securities Exchange in the process of pursuing such listing; (k) prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act and, to the extent the Company’s obligation to file such reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act expires prior to the expiration of the time a Demand Registration Statement is required to be 12 4877-1320-6390v 12 kept effective by Section 2(a), the Company will register the Registerable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement under the Exchange Act and maintain such registration through the time such Demand Registration Statement is required to be kept effective by Section 2(a); (l) cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement; (m) in connection with any sale of the Registerable Securities under a registration statement contemplated by this Agreement that will result in the shares of Preferred Stock being delivered no longer constituting Registerable Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registerable Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any transfer restrictive legends arising under federal or state securities laws, and to enable such Registerable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request at least three Business Days prior to any sale of the Registerable Securities; (n) in connection with a registered offering of Registerable Securities, whether or not such offering is an Underwritten Offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a “comfort” letter from the independent public accountant for the Company and any acquired entity or target of the Company whose financial statements are included or are required to be included or incorporated by reference in such registration statement, in form and substance customarily given by independent certified public accountants in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Selling Holders; (o) execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including an underwriting agreement or placement agent agreement, as applicable in customary form) and take such other actions and obtain such certificates and opinions as sellers of the Registerable Securities being sold reasonably require in order to effect a public offering of such Registerable Securities and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the offering is an Underwritten Offering, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such registration statement and documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Holders and the underwriters of such Registerable Securities opinions and negative assurance letters of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) will be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and counsels to the Holders), covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in Underwritten Offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and any such underwriters; and (p) upon reasonable request of any Holder, the Company will file an amendment to any such registration statement (or prospectus supplement, as applicable) to update the information provided by such Holder in connection with such Holder’s sale of Registerable Securities thereunder. Section 5. Required Information. (a) The Company may require a Holder to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution of Registerable Securities by such Holder as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as will be required to effect registration of the Registerable Securities and/or for the Company to satisfy the Listing Requirements.

Section 6. Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration of the Registerable Securities pursuant to this Agreement and any other actions that may be taken in connection with the registration contemplated herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses relating to a registration of its Registerable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or relating to the sale of its Registerable Securities pursuant to any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement. Each Selling Holder’s pro rata allocation of Selling Expenses shall be the percentage derived by dividing (a) the number of Registerable Securities (i) sold by such Selling Holder in connection with such sale or (ii) in the event Registerable Securities are registered but not sold, registered on behalf of such Holder in connection with such registration by (b) the aggregate number of Registerable Securities (i) sold by all Selling Holders in connection with such sale or (ii) in the event Registerable Securities are registered but not sold, registered by all Selling Holders in connection with such registration. Section 7. Indemnification. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Person who controls each Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders, partners, limited partners, agents and employees of each of them (each an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any related Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; in each case except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon (i) information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) information regarding such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of the Registerable Securities and was approved by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registerable Securities in connection with their offer and sale pursuant to any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Holders provided in this Section 7(a). (b) Each Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and the directors of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed or signs any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, and if requested by an underwriter for an applicable registration statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person, and their officers and directors, acting on behalf of the Holders to sell the Registerable Securities covered by any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any related Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material 14 4877-1320-6390v 12 fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is based upon (i) information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder (in its capacity as a Holder) expressly for use therein or (ii) information regarding such Xxxxxx’s proposed method of distribution of the Registerable Securities and was approved by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. (c) Each Indemnified Party under this Section 7 will give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless (i) the employment of such counsel will have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action or (iii) the Indemnified Party will have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, will, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Section 7 in respect of any Losses, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder will, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such 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 or such Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable consideration referred to above in this Section 7(d). (e) No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (f) In no event will any Holder be liable for any Losses pursuant to this Section 7 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder of any Registerable Securities sold by such Holder.

15 4877-1320-6390v 12 (g) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any sale of Registerable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. (h) The provisions of this Section 7 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. Section 8. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or otherwise assigned to a transferee or assignee of Registerable Securities, provided (a) such transferee or assignee becomes a party to this Agreement or agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee or assignee were an original party hereunder and (b) the Company and NorthStar are given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment stating the name and address of such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with regard to which such rights and obligations are being transferred or assigned. Section 9. Cure Period. If the Holders believe the Company has failed to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions in this Agreement, the Holders shall provide written notice thereof to the Company, and, after written notice thereof is received by the Company, the Company shall have 30 days to cure such failure. If the Company timely cures a failure pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall be deemed to have complied with the terms applicable to it in this Agreement despite any such failure. Section 10. Miscellaneous. (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder or related in any way to the foregoing, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.

ANY PARTY MAY MAKE SERVICE ON ANY OTHER PARTY BY SENDING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF THE PROCESS TO THE PARTY TO BE SERVED AT THE ADDRESS AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES IN SECTION 10(E). NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10(A), HOWEVER, WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AT EQUITY.

The Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be on a registration statement on Form S-3 (on an automatically effective basis to the extent the Company is eligible to do so) (“Form S-3”) or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registerable Securities, covering the Registerable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Selling Holder covered by such Shelf Registration Statement to sell such Registerable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect) at any time beginning on the Effective Date for such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that if the Company is not eligible to file an automatic Shelf Registration Statement at such time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective within 60 calendar days after the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, if, at the expiration of the Conversion Lockout Period, the Company has an effective registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form, the Company may include all or part of the Registerable Securities in such registration statement, including by virtue of including the Registerable Securities in a prospectus supplement to such shelf registration statement and filing such prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act (in which event, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section 2 and such shelf registration statement shall be deemed to be a Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement).

References herein to Shelf Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement. (d) The Company may require each Selling Holder to promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Holder, the Registerable Securities held by it and the intended method of distribution of the Registerable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. (e) In the event that the Company fails to file, or if filed, fails to maintain the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders may participate in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 4; provided, that if and so long as a Shelf Registration Statement is on file and effective, then the Company shall have no obligation to allow participation in a Piggyback Registration. Section 3. Demand Registration Rights. (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, commencing after the expiration of the Conversion Lockout Period, and from time to time so long as there are any Registerable Securities outstanding, if the Company is not eligible to file a Shelf Registration Statement, if the Company has not caused a Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC in accordance with Section 2, if the Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be effective or if the Demand Registration will be made in the form of an Underwritten Offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) may request that the Company prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, including post-effective amendments and new registration statements, in each case including the Prospectus contained therein, all exhibits thereto and all materials and documents incorporated by reference therein, a “Demand Registration Statement”), registering under the Securities Act the offer and sale of all or part of the then-outstanding Registerable Securities (a “Demand Registration”) of such Initiating Holders by giving written notice thereof to the Company, which request will specify the number of Registerable Securities proposed to be sold by such Initiating Holders and the intended method of disposition thereof. Within 10 Business Days after receipt of such request, the Company will give written notice of such Demand Registration request to all other Holders and include in such registration all such Registerable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five Business Days after the mailing of the Company’s notice to the applicable Holder. Each such request must specify the number of Registerable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof in order to be included in such registration. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(f) below, (i) the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than three Demand Registrations in total (subject to a maximum of one Underwritten Offering during any 90-day period), except that a registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriters’ cutback provision in Section 3(c), fewer than 50% of the total number of Registerable Securities requested to be included by the Holders in such Demand Registration are actually included and (ii) the number of Registerable Securities proposed to be sold by the Initiating Holders either (A) shall be all the Registerable Securities owned by the Initiating Holders or (B) shall have an estimated market value at the time of such demand (based upon the then market price of Common Stock) of at least $25,000,000. In connection with a Demand Registration, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Demand Registration Statement no later than 45 days after the Initiating Holders’ request for a Demand Registration in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3 and 180 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-11 or such other appropriate form. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Demand Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for sale of such Registerable Securities for at least 180 days. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, if at the time the Company receives a request for a Demand Registration, the Company has an effective Shelf Registration 6 4865-0312-6116v 16 Statement, the Company may include all or part of the Registerable Securities covered by such request in such registration statement, including by virtue of including the Registerable Securities in a prospectus supplement to such Shelf Registration Statement and filing such prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Securities Act (in which event, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section 3 with respect to such Demand Registration request and such Shelf Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a Demand Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement); provided, that, if such Demand Registration was requested to be made in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the Company exercises its right under this Section 3 to include Registerable Securities covered by such request in a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will facilitate an Underwritten Offering of such Registerable Securities via such Shelf Registration Statement as if it were a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3. (c) If the Demand Registration will be made in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriters of the requested Demand Registration advise the Company and the Holders that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Demand Registration exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that can be sold in an Underwritten Offering without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering price per share) (such maximum number of shares, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), the Company will include in such Demand Registration only such number of shares of Common Stock that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, can be sold without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering price per share), with such Maximum Number of Shares allocated, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holders, (i) first, the number of Registerable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders, pro rata among the Holders on the basis of the number of Registerable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders and (ii) second (and only to the extent the number of Registerable Securities to be sold by the Holders is less than the Maximum Number of Shares), the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by other Persons (including, if applicable, the Company) pro rata among such other Persons on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included by such Persons. (d) In connection with any Demand Registration, the Company shall have the right to (i) select the managing underwriters and any additional underwriters (and their roles) in the offering and (ii) determine the structure of the offering and negotiate the terms of any underwriting agreement as they relate to the Holders, including: (A) the number of shares to be sold (if not all shares offered can be sold at the highest price offered by the underwriters); provided, that the request provided by Holders pursuant to Section 3(a) requesting the number of Registerable Securities to be listed are all included to the extent the Maximum Number of Shares is not exceeded; and (B) the offering price and underwriting discount; provided, that the identity of the managing underwriters and any additional underwriters and such structure and terms are reasonably acceptable to the Holders; provided, further that, if the sale of Registerable Securities in an Underwritten Offering is not completed pursuant to this Section 3(d) after the public announcement of the launch of such Underwritten Offering, the Holders of such Registerable Securities shall pay all Selling Expenses incurred by such Holders and reimburse the Company for its reasonable out- of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to such uncompleted sale. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board determines that the filing of a Demand Registration Statement would: (i) be detrimental to the Company in that such registration would interfere with a material corporate transaction; (ii) according to the underwriters of an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock by the Company, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s offering; (iii) require the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company that at the time is not, in the judgment of the Board, in the best interest of the Company to disclose and is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose at such time; or (iv) require the disclosure of a significant bona fide business opportunity (including the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than 7 4865-0312-6116v 16 in the ordinary course of business), including any significant merger, consolidation, tender offer, or other similar transaction) available to the Company that the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interests to disclose, then the Company will have the right to defer such filing for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than 60 days in any 90-day period or more than 120 days in any 365-day period); provided that the Board may only defer such filing two times in any one-year period. The Company will give written notice of its determination to such Initiating Holders to defer the filing and of the fact that the purpose for such deferral no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a filing has been deferred, the notice and the contents of such notice for the duration of the deferral or until otherwise notified by the Company, except (i) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential and (ii) as required by law, rule or regulation. If the Company shall postpone the filing of a Demand Registration, the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding held by the Initiating Holders shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration on behalf of all Initiating Holders. Such withdrawn registration request shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 3 (and shall not be counted as a permitted Demand Registration), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. (f) A registration shall not count as a permitted Demand Registration until it has become effective under the Securities Act. A request for a Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding held by the Initiating Holders for which registration was requested in the Demand Registration (a “Withdrawn Request”), and, if the filed Demand Registration Statement is not an automatic Shelf Registration Statement, a Demand Registration may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof by the Holders holding a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding held by the Initiating Holders for which registration was requested in the Demand Registration (a “Withdrawn Demand Registration”), and such withdrawals shall be treated as a permitted Demand Registration which shall have been effected pursuant to this Section 3, unless the Holders of Registerable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration (to the extent actually incurred); provided, however, that if a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn Demand Registration is made because (i) of a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or prospects of the Company, (ii) the managing underwriters advise that the amount of Registerable Securities to be sold in such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 3(c) by more than 50% of the Registerable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration, (iii) of a postponement of such registration pursuant to Section 3(e) or (iv) of the occurrence of any event that would reasonably be expected to permit the Company to exercise its rights to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration Statement pursuant to Section 5, then such withdrawal shall not be treated as a permitted Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 3, and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. (g) The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 2. Section 4. Piggyback Registration. (a) Subject to Section 2(a), if at any time the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (or a prospectus supplement to effect a takedown from an effective shelf registration statement) with respect to an offering of shares of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of other security holders of the Company on any registration form (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the SEC) or filed in connection with an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing security holders) that permits the inclusion of the Registerable Securities, the Company will give the Holders written

8 4865-0312-6116v 16 notice thereof promptly (but in no event less than 10 days prior to the filing date) and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register the resale of such number of Registerable Securities as each Holder may request pursuant to a written request received within 5 Business Days after delivery of such notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Sections 4(b) and 4(c), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registerable Securities requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to include any Registerable Securities in any registration under this Section 4(a) prior to expiration of the Conversion Lockout Period. (b) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary Underwritten Offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company will include in such registration, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holders, (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second (to the extent the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company is less that the Maximum Number of Shares), the number of Registerable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by other Persons, pro rata among the Holders and other Persons on the basis of the number of Registerable Securities and other shares of Common Stock requested to be included by each such Holder and other Person, respectively. (c) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a secondary underwritten offering on behalf of a holder of shares of Common Stock other than under this Agreement, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company will include in such registration, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the holders (including the Holders, if any), (i) first the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration, and (ii) second (to the extent the number of such shares of Common Stock to be sold by such other requesting holders is less that the Maximum Number of Shares), the number of Registerable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders and the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by other Persons (including, if applicable, the Company), pro rata among the Holders and other Persons on the basis of the number of Registerable Securities and other shares of Common Stock requested to be included by each such Holder and other Person, respectively. (d) If any Piggyback Registration is a primary or secondary Underwritten Offering, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) select the managing underwriters and any additional underwriters (and their roles) in the offering and (ii) to administer any such offering, including to determine the structure of the offering and negotiate the terms of any underwriting agreement, including the number of shares to be sold (if not all shares offered can be sold at the highest price offered by the underwriters), the offering price and underwriting discount. (e) Nothing in this Section 4 shall create any liability on the part of the Company to the Holders if the Company in its sole discretion decides not to file a registration statement previously proposed to be filed as described in Section 4(a) on which the Holders’ Piggyback Registration request was based or to withdraw such registration statement subsequent to its filing. Section 5. Suspension. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e) related to Demand Registrations and Section 5(e) below, in the event that the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the 9 4865-0312-6116v 16 filing of a Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2(a) or a Demand Registration Statement under Section 3(a), or the use of an effective Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or any related Prospectus, the Company may, upon delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders of Registerable Securities covered by any such effective registration statement, suspend the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than 60 days in any 90-day period or more than 120 days in any 365-day period), if any of the following events will occur: (i) the underwriters of an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock by the Company advise the Company that the concurrent resale of the Registerable Securities by the Holders pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Demand Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s offering; (ii) there is material non-public information regarding the Company that (A) the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interest to disclose, (B) would, in the good faith determination of the Company, require a revision to the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, so that it will not contain any untrue statement of any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (C) the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose at such time; or (iii) there is a significant bona fide business opportunity (including the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), including any significant merger, consolidation, tender offer, or other similar transaction) available to the Company that the Board determines not to be in the Company’s best interests to disclose. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company delivering to the Holders an End of Suspension Notice or (ii) the end of the maximum permissible suspension period, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, if and as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registerable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(e), in the event that (i) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension or (ii) the consummation of any business combination or acquisition by the Company has occurred or is probable that would require the Company to file financial statements with the SEC under Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the Company may (A) suspend the rights of the Holders to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration of any Registerable Securities and (B) upon delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders with Registerable Securities covered by an effective Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, may direct such Holders to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement (in each case, to the extent required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), until the date on which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable. the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file such reports or obtain and file the financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in the Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(e), with respect to Underwritten Offerings by the Company, each Holder agrees not to directly or indirectly sell, offer for sale or otherwise transfer any Registerable Securities during any of the following periods: (i) unless the managing underwriters administering the offering otherwise agree, the period commencing 10 days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of a registration statement for any underwritten public offering of Common Stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for the Common Stock) and ending 90 days after 10 4865-0312-6116v 16 such effectiveness and (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, unless the managing underwriters administering the offering otherwise agree, the period commencing 10 days prior to the anticipated date of the Company’s notice of commencement of distribution in connection with such offering and ending 90 days after the commencement of such distribution. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(c), (i) any applicable period shall terminate on such earlier date as the Company gives notice to the Holders that the Company declines to proceed with any such offering set forth in this Section 5(c); (ii) all executive officers and directors of the Company then holding shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock shall enter into similar agreements for not less than the entire time period required of the Holders hereunder; and (iii) the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any executive officer or director that entered into similar agreements. (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(e), upon any of the following events: (i) the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (ii) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; or (iii) the happening of any event during the period such registration statement is effective (other than the events covered in Section 5(a)) as a result of which such registration statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or such Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; the Company will deliver a Suspension Notice to the Holders with Registerable Securities covered by any such Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities. (e) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of an effective Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or the related Prospectus pursuant to this Section 5 (each, a “Suspension Event”), the Company will give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Holders with Registerable Securities covered by such effective registration statement to suspend sales of the Registerable Securities, and such notice will state that such suspension will continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of such registration statement and any related Prospectus as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Suspension Event has occurred, the Suspension Notice and the contents of such Suspension Notice for the duration of the suspension or until otherwise notified by the Company, except (i) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential and (ii) as required by law, rule or regulation. The Holders will not affect any sales of the Registerable Securities pursuant to such registration statement at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. If so directed by the Company, the Holders will deliver to the Company (at the reasonable expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in the Holders’ possession of the Prospectus covering the Registerable Securities at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. Any Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registerable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice will be given by the Company to the Holders in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. Section 6. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2 or whenever Holders request a Demand Registration under Section 3, the Company will 11 4865-0312-6116v 16 use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registerable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof (which, in the case of a Demand Registration or in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement to satisfy a Demand Registration in the form of Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3(b), may include an Underwritten Offering), and in connection with any such request: (a) subject to Section 5, the Company will, within the time periods set forth in Sections 2 and 3, prepare and file a Shelf Registration Statement (on Form S-3) or a Demand Registration Statement (on a Form S-3 or any form for which the Company then qualifies, or which counsel for the Company shall reasonably deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registerable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended distribution thereof), as applicable, which registration statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filed registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and remain continuously effective for so long as such registration statement is required to be kept effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement during the period in which such registration statement is required to be kept effective; (b) will (i) within a reasonable period of time prior to filing a registration statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to each Holder of Registerable Securities being registered reasonably complete drafts of such registration statement as proposed to be filed and provide each such Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to such information prior to such registration statement or such other registration statement, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Holder such number of conformed copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (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 such other documents proposed to be filed including documents that are to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement, amendment or supplement or as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; (c) will furnish to each Holder of Registerable Securities being registered, without charge, such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits) other than those which are being incorporated into such registration statement by reference, such number of copies of the Prospectus contained in such registration statements (including each complete Prospectus and any summary or preliminary Prospectus) and any other Prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, including documents incorporated by reference, as any Holder or an underwriter, if any, of the Registerable Securities being registered may reasonably request, in each case, including each such amendment and supplement thereto, to the extent such other documents are not available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor system), in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registerable Securities by such Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Holders and their underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registerable Securities thereby); (d) subject to Section 5, (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period described in Section 6(a), (ii) cause each Prospectus contained therein to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule
![slide27](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1503707/000150370723000031/projectbeacon-membership027.jpg)
12 4865-0312-6116v 16 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act, and (iii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale of all securities covered by each such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution specified by the Holders; (e) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain exemption from registration or qualification for, the sale of all Registerable Securities by the time the applicable registration statement is declared effective by the SEC under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where an exemption does not apply) as any Holder or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective pursuant to Section 6(a), cooperate with the Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holders to consummate the sale in each such jurisdiction of such Registerable Securities owned by the Holders; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject to taxation or (iii) consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; (f) promptly notify the Holders and, if requested, confirm such advice in writing (i) when such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) unless a notice or Suspension Notice contemplated in Section 5(e) has been, or will promptly be, delivered to the Holders, of the happening of any event during the period such registration statement is effective as a result of which such registration statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or such Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (g) during the time periods referred to in Section 6(a), shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if issued, to obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of such registration statement or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registerable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as reasonably practicable; (h) except as provided in Section 3(e) or Section 5(a), upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(d)(iii), use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such registration statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registerable Securities, such registration statement will 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 not misleading and such Prospectus will 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, upon request, promptly furnish to the Holders a reasonable number of copies of each such supplement or post-effective amendment; 13 4865-0312-6116v 16 (i) enter into customary agreements and take all other commercially reasonable actions as the Holders reasonably request in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the distribution of the Registerable Securities, including, in the case of a Demand Registration and to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, making appropriate officers of the Company available to participate in a reasonable number of virtual “road shows” and one-on-one meetings with institutional investors and other customary marketing activities scheduled at reasonable times; (j) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) list or include all Registerable Securities on any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or included and enter into such customary agreements, including a supplemental listing application and indemnification agreement in customary form and (ii) cure the Company’s listing or inclusion application of any deficiencies cited by the exchange or market in the process of pursuing such listing; (k) prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the Exchange Act and, to the extent the Company’s obligation to file such reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act expires prior to the expiration of the time a Demand Registration Statement is required to be kept effective by Section 3(a), the Company will register the Registerable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement under the Exchange Act and maintain such registration through the time such Demand Registration Statement is required to be kept effective by Section 3(a); (l) cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement; (m) in connection with any sale of the Registerable Securities under a registration statement contemplated by this Agreement that will result in the shares of Common Stock being delivered no longer constituting Registerable Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registerable Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any transfer restrictive legends arising under federal or state securities laws, and to enable such Registerable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request at least three Business Days prior to any sale of the Registerable Securities; (n) in connection with a registered offering of Registerable Securities, whether or not such offering is an Underwritten Offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a “comfort” letter from the independent public accountant for the Company and any acquired entity or target of the Company whose financial statements are included or are required to be included or incorporated by reference in such registration statement, in form and substance customarily given by independent certified public accountants in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Selling Holders; (o) execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including an underwriting agreement or placement agent agreement, as applicable in customary form) and take such other actions and obtain such certificates and opinions as sellers of the Registerable Securities being sold reasonably require in order to effect a public offering of such Registerable Securities and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the offering is an Underwritten Offering, (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such registration statement and documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Holders and the underwriters of such Registerable Securities opinions and negative assurance letters of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) will be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any, and counsels to the Holders), covering the matters customarily covered in opinions 14 4865-0312-6116v 16 requested in Underwritten Offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and any such underwriters; and (p) upon reasonable request of any Holder, the Company will file an amendment to any such registration statement (or prospectus supplement, as applicable) to update the information provided by such Holder in connection with such Holder’s sale of Registerable Securities thereunder. Section 7. Required Information. (a) The Company may require a Holder to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution of Registerable Securities by such Holder as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as will be required to effect registration of the Registerable Securities.

(b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a Suspension Notice, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registerable Securities pursuant to a registration statement until the receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Section 8. Registration Expenses.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses relating to a registration of its Registerable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or relating to the sale of its Registerable Securities pursuant to any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement. Each Selling Holder’s pro rata allocation of Selling Expenses shall be the percentage derived by dividing (a) the number of Registerable Securities (i) sold by such Selling Holder in connection with such sale or (ii) in the event Registerable Securities are registered but not sold, registered on behalf of such Holder in connection with such registration by (b) the aggregate number of Registerable Securities (i) sold by all Selling Holders in connection with such sale or (ii) in the event Registerable Securities are registered but not sold, registered by all Selling Holders in connection with such registration. Section 9. Indemnification. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Person who controls each Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders, partners, limited partners, agents and employees of each of them (each an “Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any related Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; in each case except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon (i) information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) information regarding such Xxxxxx’s proposed method of distribution of the 15 4865-0312-6116v 16 Registerable Securities and was approved by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registerable Securities in connection with their offer and sale pursuant to any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Holders provided in this Section 9(a). (b) Each Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and the directors of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed or signs any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, and if requested by an underwriter for an applicable registration statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person, and their officers and directors, acting on behalf of the Holders to sell the Registerable Securities covered by any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) against any Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any related Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is based upon (i) information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder (in its capacity as a Holder) expressly for use therein or (ii) information regarding such Xxxxxx’s proposed method of distribution of the Registerable Securities and was approved by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. (c) Each Indemnified Party under this Section 9 will give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 except to the extent of the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless (i) the employment of such counsel will have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of such action or (iii) the Indemnified Party will have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, will, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Section 9 in respect of any Losses, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder will, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute
![slide28](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1503707/000150370723000031/projectbeacon-membership028.jpg)
16 4865-0312-6116v 16 to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such 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 or such Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable consideration referred to above in this Section 9(d). (e) No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. (f) In no event will any Holder be liable for any Losses pursuant to this Section 9 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder of any Registerable Securities sold by such Holder. (g) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 9 shall survive the completion of any sale of Registerable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. (h) The provisions of this Section 9 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. Section 10. Rule 144. The Company covenants, at the Company’s expense, that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions, as may be reasonably requested by such Holder from time to time, to comply with all applicable requirements under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder as to enable any Holder to sell its Registerable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including to (a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are defined in Rule 144(c), (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner any reports and documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, (c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance 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, (iii) provide within five Business Days following receipt of a supportable request therefor, at the Company’s expense, to the Company’s transfer agent an opinion of counsel as may be reasonably necessary in order for the Holders to avail themselves of such rule to allow the Holders to sell such Registerable Securities without registration, and (iv) such other information as may be reasonably requested by a Holder so as to enable such Holder to sell Registerable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the exemptions provided by Rule 144, and (d) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registerable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 (including reasonably cooperating with the Holders to cause the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend on certificates evidencing Registerable Securities). This Section 10 shall survive the termination of the Agreement so long as any Holder continues to hold Registerable Securities. Section 11. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or otherwise assigned to a transferee or assignee of Registerable Securities, provided (i) such transferee or assignee 17 4865-0312-6116v 16 becomes a party to this Agreement or agrees in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if such transferee or assignee were an original party hereunder and (ii) the Company and NorthStar are given written notice by such Holder of such transfer or assignment stating the name and address of such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with regard to which such rights and obligations are being transferred or assigned. Section 12. Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. Excluding the Registration Rights Agreement entered into on the date hereof relating to the Preferred Stock, from and after the date hereof, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registerable Securities, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any equity securities of the Company that would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include equity securities in any registration statement filed by the Company on a basis that is superior in any respect to the rights granted to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement. Section 13. Miscellaneous. (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder or related in any way to the foregoing, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY AGREES TO COMMENCE ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF IMPROPER VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SO BROUGHT AND WAIVES ANY BOND, SURETY, OR OTHER SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED OF ANY OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. ANY PARTY MAY MAKE SERVICE ON ANY OTHER PARTY BY SENDING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF THE PROCESS TO THE PARTY TO BE SERVED AT THE ADDRESS AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES IN SECTION 13(E). NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 13(A), HOWEVER, WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AT EQUITY.

(b) “Junior Securities” mean each class or series of capital stock that AHR may issue in the future the terms of which does not expressly provide that it ranks on a parity with, or senior to, the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or as to distribution rights upon AHR’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up (referred to in the Articles Supplementary as “liquidation rights”), as applicable based on the usage thereof in the Articles Supplementary. (c) “NorthStar Entity” means NorthStar Parent and any subsidiary of NorthStar Parent (including NorthStar Seller).

Put Right. (a) Put Right. If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time that any NorthStar Entity holds shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then such NorthStar Entity shall have the right (the “Put Right”), at such NorthStar Entity’s option, to require AHR to repurchase for cash, out of funds legally available 1 To be updated depending on closing date under MIPA, e.g., if the closing date occurs after 3/31/24 then clause (i) becomes extraneous. 3 757538756.5 therefor, any or all of such NorthStar Entity’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a date specified by AHR (the “Put Date”) that can be no later than 60 days following the date of delivery by AHR of a notice of the Fundamental Change (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) at the Repurchase Price. (b) Procedures for Put Right. (i) Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, AHR shall provide to such NorthStar Entity a Fundamental Change Notice, which notice shall be addressed to such NorthStar Entity at its address as it appears on the stock transfer records of AHR and shall specify: (A) the events constituting the Fundamental Change; (B) the date of the Fundamental Change; (C) the Put Date; (D) the Repurchase Price; (E) the date prior to which such NorthStar Entity is required to deliver a completed notice to AHR stating the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased by AHR, which delivery date shall be no earlier than 10 Business Days following the delivery of the Fundamental Change Notice; (F) the place or places where the certificates, if any, representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price; and (G) the procedures for surrendering uncertificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock for payment of the Repurchase Price. The failure of AHR to give the foregoing Fundamental Change Notice or any defect contained therein shall not limit the Put Right of the NorthStar Entities herein or affect the validity of any proceedings for the repurchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Put Right. (ii) On or after the Put Date, the NorthStar Entities shall present and surrender the certificates, if any, representing the NorthStar Entities’ shares of Series A Preferred Stock to AHR at a place designated therefor in the Fundamental Change Notice, and upon such presentation and surrender, AHR shall thereupon pay the Repurchase Price of such shares, without interest, to such NorthStar Entities, and each surrendered certificate shall then be canceled, or, in the case of uncertificated shares, AHR shall pay the Repurchase Price of such shares, without interest, in the name of such NorthStar Entities through book-entry transfer. If the NorthStar Entities’ shares of Series A Preferred Stock are certificated and fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be repurchased, a new certificate shall be issued to the NorthStar Entities representing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such NorthStar Entities that were not repurchased by AHR. (iii) If (A) the Put Right has been exercised by any NorthStar Entity in accordance with this Section 2(b), (B) the funds necessary for the repurchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such NorthStar Entity has been set apart by AHR in trust for the benefit of such NorthStar Entity and (C) irrevocable instructions have been given to the applicable paying agent to pay the Repurchase Price, then from and after the Put Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the NorthStar Entities in respect of such shares shall terminate, except the right to receive the Repurchase Price in cash (without interest). (iv) If a Put Date is prior to the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend, the NorthStar Entities will not have the right to receive any declared dividends in respect of the repurchased shares. If a Put Date is on or after the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend and prior to the Dividend Payment Date, the NorthStar Entities shall receive that dividend in respect of the repurchased shares on the relevant Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding such repurchase, and the Repurchase Price otherwise payable on such repurchased shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the full dividend payable on the Dividend Payment Date on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being repurchased. 3. Exception to Fundamental Change. In the event that a transaction (or series of transactions) occurs that would constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) but for the 4 757538756.5 application of subsection (B) of the proviso in the definition of Fundamental Change in the Articles Supplementary, then each NorthStar Entity shall have the right to exercise the Holder Put Right (in respect of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such NorthStar Entity) under Section 6 of the Articles Supplementary from and after the closing of such transaction(s), subject to the other terms, conditions and procedures set forth in Section 6 and elsewhere in the Articles Supplementary for an exercise of the Holder Put Right in respect of such shares. 4. Miscellaneous. (a) This Letter constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, undertakings and understandings, both written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof. No provision of this Letter may be amended, supplemented or modified except by a written instrument making specific reference hereto signed by both Parties hereto. No party may assign this Letter nor any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto; it being further understood by NorthStar Seller that no transferee of, or any other successor to, its shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall succeed to any rights of NorthStar Seller hereunder without the prior written consent of AHR unless such transferee or successor is a NorthStar Entity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Letter are held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Letter. (b) This Letter and all claims arising hereunder (in tort, contract or otherwise) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to be applied. (c) This Letter may be executed in one or more 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Letter by facsimile or e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
