NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: Article I GOVERNANCE MATTERS 1.1 Board Composition; Representation. (a) Immediately following the Effective Time, the Company shall take any and all necessary action to cause the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to be comprised of a total of seven (7) authorized directorships. At the Effective Time, the Company will cause to be appointed to the Board: (i) the two (2) MSD Representatives listed in Exhibit A hereto, at least one (1) of which must be, in the good faith determination of the Board or the Governance Committee, an Independent Director, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company immediately following the Effective Time, and (iii) the four (4) other directors to be continued on the Board, in each case as listed in Exhibit A. (b) From and after the date of the Closing, the manner for selecting nominees for election to the Board will be as follows: (i) In connection with each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected (each such annual or special meeting, an “Election Meeting”), MSD Credit Opportunity Master Fund, L.P. (“MSD COF Master Fund”) shall have the right to designate for nomination a number of MSD Representatives as follows: (A) for so long as the MSD Percentage Interest is greater than or equal to 20%, two (2) MSD Representatives; provided, that at least one (1) of such MSD Representatives must be, in the good faith determination of the Governance Committee, an Independent Director; (B) for so long as the MSD Percentage Interest is less than 20% but greater than or equal to 10%, one (1) MSD Representative; and (C) if the MSD Percentage Interest is less than 10%, no MSD Representatives. (ii) MSD COF Master Fund shall give written notice to the Governance Committee (as defined below) identifying each such MSD Representative within a reasonable amount of time prior to date on which the proxy is to be filed (and in any event at least 60 days prior to the later of (i) a date provided by the Company as the expected date on which a proxy statement is expected to be filed and (ii) the first anniversary of the mailing date of the proxy statement for the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the prior year) in connection with the applicable Election Meeting. Following provision such notice, MSD COF Master Fund shall provide, or cause such 1 DB1/ 97884447.26

individual(s) to provide, to the Company such information about such individuals at such times as the Company may reasonably request in order to ensure compliance with the Exchange Rules and the applicable securities Laws and to enable the Board of any committee thereof to make determinations with respect to the qualifications of the individual(s) to be MSD Representative(s) (the “Required Information”); provided, however, that if MSD COF Master Fund fails to give such notice or the Required Information in a timely manner, MSD COF Master Fund shall be deemed to have nominated the incumbent MSD Representative or MSD Representatives, as applicable, in a timely manner; provided, further, that if the number of incumbent MSD Representatives is less than the number of MSD Representatives MSD COF Master Fund is entitled to designate pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(i), the Company and MSD COF Master Fund shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to mutually agree on the MSD Representative or MSD Representatives, as applicable, for such Election Meeting. If for any reason the Board or any committee thereof determines that an individual identified by MSD COF Master Fund is not qualified to be an MSD Representative, it shall promptly notify MSD COF Master Fund and MSD COF Master Fund may identify a replacement for such individual. (iii) In the event that the Company amends its certificate of incorporation to provide that the Board shall be classified into separate classes of directors, then proper provision shall be made such that the designees of the MSD Parties shall be distributed as evenly as possible among such classes of directors in order to preserve the designation rights of the MSD Parties in accordance with this Section 1.1. (iv) In the event that the Board increases or decreases the size of the Board in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the number of MSD Representatives applicable under Section 1.1(b) shall be increased or decreased based on (A) the percentage of the number of MSD Representatives as applicable under Section 1.1(b)(i) divided by seven, multiplied by (B) the total number of directors on the Board, rounding up to the nearest whole number; provided, at any time MSD COF Master Fund has the right to designate two (2) MSD Representatives to the Board pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(i), the Board shall not decrease the size of the Board below seven (7) without the prior written consent of MSD COF Master Fund. (c) From and after the date of the Closing until the Board Designation Expiration Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary (to the extent such actions are permitted by Law) to cause the Board to include the MSD Representative(s) entitled to be designated by MSD COF Master Fund pursuant to Section 1.1(b) and otherwise to reflect the Board composition contemplated by Section 1.1, including the following: (i) at each Election Meeting, include for election to the Board the MSD Representative(s) entitled to be designated by MSD COF Master Fund pursuant to Section 1.1(b), (ii) to solicit proxies in order to obtain stockholder approval of the election of the MSD Representative(s), including causing officers of the Company who hold proxies (unless otherwise directed by the Company stockholder submitting such proxy) to vote such proxies in favor of the election of such MSD Representative(s), and (iii) to cause the MSD Representative(s) to be elected to the Board, including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the MSD Representative(s) in any proxy statement used by the Company to solicit the vote of its stockholders in connection with each Election Meeting. (d) If at any time the number of MSD Representatives serving on the Board exceeds the allowed number provided under this Section 1.1, then unless otherwise requested by the Board, the MSD Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such MSD Representative to offer to resign from the Board within 90 days or if such offer of resignation is not given within such period, the Board shall be entitled to remove such director such that, following such resignation(s) or removal(s), the number of MSD Representatives serving on the Board does not exceed such allowed number following such period. If at any time the Board or the Governance Committee determines in good faith that an MSD Representative that was required pursuant to Section 1.1(b)(i)(A) to be an Independent Director ceases to be an Independent Director and, as a result, there is no Independent Director among the MSD Representatives, then unless otherwise requested by the Board, the MSD Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such MSD Representative to resign from the Board, or if such resignation is not given promptly, the Board shall be entitled to remove such director, it being understood that MSD COF Master Fund shall be entitled to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom in accordance with Section 1.2. (e) On the date that the MSD Parties Beneficially Own less than ten percent (10%), or at such earlier time that the MSD Parties deliver an irrevocable written termination of its rights under Article 1 to the Company pursuant to Section 1.4, the MSD Parties will have no further rights to nominate any directors to the Board. (f) Following such time as the MSD Parties have no further rights to nominate any directors to the Board based on the MSD Parties Beneficially Owning less than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, if and so long as the MSD Parties continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of the Voting Securities held by the MSD Parties 2 DB1/ 97884447.26

(a) Subject to Sections 1.1 and 1.4, if at any time the number of MSD Representatives serving on the Board is less than the total number of MSD Representatives that the MSD Parties are entitled to designate pursuant to Section 1.1(b), whether due to the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office as a member of the Board of a MSD Representative or otherwise, the Board shall take all action (to the extent permitted by Law) required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such replacement designated by the MSD Parties as promptly as practicable. In furtherance thereof, the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts, if requested by the MSD Parties, to fill such vacancy prior to the time the Board next takes action on any other matter. (b) In the event of any vacancy on the Board occurring due to the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office as a member of the Board of any director of the Company other than the MSD Representatives, the Board shall take all action (to the extent permitted by Law) required to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom with such replacement selected by the Company as promptly as practicable. 1.3 Selection of MSD Representatives; Committees.

Specifically, such acquisition will be treated (i) by the Members as if they had sold their limited liability company units of Sidewinder to the Company and (ii) by the Company as if it had purchased the assets of Sidewinder. None of the Parties nor their Affiliates will take any position inconsistent with such treatment in notices to or filings with Tax authorities, in audit or other proceedings with respect to Taxes (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or in other documents or notices relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code. 2.5 Disclaimer of Corporate Opportunity Doctrine.

(c) In addition to, and without limitation of, Section 2.5(b), each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that: (i) a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (1) the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (2) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company or (3) is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy; (ii) To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 2.5(c)(iii), the Company and its Affiliates do not have any rights in or to the business ventures of any Identified Person, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of the Identified Persons may conduct business with or otherwise transact with any potential or actual customer, supplier or other commercial counterparty; and (iii) the Company does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any MSD Representative if such opportunity is expressly offered or presented to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and the provisions of Section 2.5(b) shall not apply to any such corporate opportunities. (d) In the event of any conflict between any policies or manuals of the Board to which an MSD Representative may be subject and the provisions of this Section 2.5, the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall govern. (e) Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Section 2.5, nor the adoption of any provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this Section 2.5, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 2.5 in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim against any Identified Person that, but for this Section 2.5, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption. This Section 2.5 shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any MSD Representative under this Agreement or any other document, instrument or policy. (f) Neither the Board nor the Company shall take any action, or omit take any action, inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5. 2.6 Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Identified Person from and against Losses incurred by such Identified Person on or after the date of the closing of the Merger arising from any litigation or proceeding brought by a current or former shareholder of the Company as of the date of the closing of the Merger to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or relating solely due to their status as a stockholder of the Company as of the date of the closing of the Merger (“Applicable Losses”); provided, that the foregoing indemnification rights in this Section 2.6 shall not be available to the extent that (1) any such Losses are incurred as a result of such Identified Person’s action or inaction, including any willful misconduct or gross negligence; (2) any such Losses are incurred as a result of non-compliance by such Identified Person with any Laws or regulations applicable to any of them; (3) subject to the rights of contribution provided for below, to the extent indemnification for any Losses would violate any applicable Law or public policy; or (4) any such Losses are incurred as a result of any actions or inaction by the Company or such Indemnified Person prior to the closing of the Merger, or any Losses relating to the Merger or the Merger Agreement. The rights of any Identified Person to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such party may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Identified Person is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. In the event of any payment of indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.6, to the extent that any Identified Person is indemnified for Losses, the Company will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the related rights of 8 DB1/ 97884447.26

recovery of the Identified Person to which such payment is made against all other persons. Such Identified Person shall execute all papers reasonably required to evidence such rights. The Company will be entitled at its election to participate in the defense of any third party claim upon which indemnification is due pursuant to this Section 2.6 or to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Identified Person unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Identified Person, a conflict of interest between the Company and such Identified Person may exist, in which case such Identified Person shall have the right to assume its own defense and the Company shall be liable for all reasonable expenses therefor. Except as set forth above, should the Company assume such defense all further defense costs of the Identified Person in respect of such third party claim shall be for the sole account of such party and not subject to indemnification hereunder. The Company will not without the prior written consent of the Identified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) effect any settlement of any threatened or pending third party claim in which such Identified Person is or could have been a party and be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes an unconditional release of such Identified Person from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such claim. If the indemnification provided for above is unavailable in respect of any Losses, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying an Identified Person, shall, if and to the extent permitted by Law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Identified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Identified Person in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations. For purposes of this Section 2.6, Losses shall include all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges, disbursement and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement or exercise by an MSD Party of any right granted to it or provided for hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, no Identified Person shall be obligated to pursue recovery for any Applicable Losses under any other agreement, policy or other instrument to which such Identified Person is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary and the Company shall have no right to pursue recovery in any manner for any Losses under any such agreement, policy or other instrument. 2.7 Permitted Disclosure.

Such liquidated damages shall be paid by the Company within ten (10) Business Days of the end of each 60-day period, as applicable. Such payments shall constitute the Holders’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events unless the circumstances above are a result of a willful breach by the Company, but shall not affect the right of the Holders to seek injunctive relief.

The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the MSD Parties; provided that such selections are reasonably acceptable to the Company. (d) The Company (i) may delay the filing or a request for effectiveness, or suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) shall not be required to effect an Underwritten Offering during any Permitted Black-Out Period; provided that (1) such right to suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement or delay an Underwritten Offering shall be exercised by the Company only if the Company has generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black- out rights against holders of similar securities that have registration rights, (2) the Company shall not issue and sell any registered securities for its own account during such Permitted Black-Out Period, (3) without the prior written consent of the MSD Parties, a Permitted Black-Out Period may not occur more than twice in any period of 365 consecutive days, the duration of any Permitted Black-Out Period shall not exceed sixty (60) consecutive days, and the number of days in Permitted Black-Out Periods during any period of 365 consecutive days shall not exceed ninety (90) days and (4) a Permitted Black-Out Period shall terminate automatically upon the cessation of the conditions that gave rise to such Permitted Black- Out Period, and the Company shall notify all Holders within one Business Day following such termination.

Any such person that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the pricing date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or 10 DB1/ 97884447.26

withdraw any registration under this Section 3.1(e) prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not the MSD Parties or any other Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration; or (ii) In the case of any Underwritten Offering initiated by the MSD Parties pursuant to Section 3.1(c) involving more than 48 hours of road show or other substantial marketing efforts (whether in person or remotely) by any underwriter of such offering with the participation of Company management (a “Marketed Underwritten Offering”), promptly after the MSD Parties deliver notice of such Marketed Underwritten Offering to the Company, the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice thereof to all Holders, and the Company shall include in such Marketed Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities of such Holders for which the Company receives written requests within three (3) Business Days of such notice from the Company, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Holder to be offered and sold pursuant to such Marketed Underwritten Offering; provided, that the number of Registrable Shares of any Holder to be included shall not exceed such Holder’s pro rata share of the total number of Registrable Securities owned by all such requesting Holders and the MSD Parties in the aggregate. (f) With respect to any offering contemplated by Section 3.1(e), the right of any MSD Parties and all other Holders to registration or participation therein will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such persons’ Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such participating person will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (in the case of Section 3.1(e)(i)) or the MSD Parties (in the case of Section 3.1(e)(ii)). Any Holder so participating shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters in connection with such underwriting agreement other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities, such Holder’s authority to sell the Registrable Securities, such Holder’s intended method of distribution, absence of liens with respect to the Registrable Securities, enforceability of the applicable underwriting agreement as against such Holder, receipt of all consents and approvals with respect to the entry into such underwriting agreement and the sale of such Registrable Securities by such Holder and any other representations required to be made by such Holder under applicable law, rule or regulation, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Holder in connection with such underwriting agreement shall not exceed such Holder’s net proceeds from such underwritten offering (i.e., less underwriting discounts and commissions).

(g) If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration or Marketed Underwritten Offering under Section 3.1(e), the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) With respect to any offering contemplated by Section 3.1(e)(i), (A) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (B) second, Registrable Securities of the MSD Parties and all other Holders who have requested registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i), as applicable, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person, and (C) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) With respect to any offering contemplated by Section 3.1(e)(ii), (A) first, all Registrable Securities of the MSD Parties and all other Holders who have requested registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person, and (B) second, the securities the Company proposes to sell. (h) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the MSD Parties, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed, or any Underwritten Offering conducted, under Section 3.1 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration or take-down only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders which are included or (b) to demand registration of their 11 DB1/ 97884447.26

securities. 3.2 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company.

make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such Loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnitee expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalf such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company; (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with any such registration, qualification, compliance or sale of Registrable Securities; (iii) any failure to register or qualify Registrable Securities in any state where the Company or its agents have affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company (the undertaking of any underwriter being attributed to the Company) will undertake such registration or qualification on behalf of the Holders of such Registrable Securities (provided that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has undertaken its reasonable best efforts to so register or qualify such Registrable Securities); or (iv) any actions or inactions or proceedings in respect of the foregoing whether or not an Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether such Registration Statement, final prospectus, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) or other document is issued pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. (b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act to the same extent as the exception to the Company’s indemnification obligations provided for in clause (i) of Section 3.6(a) from the Company to the Holders applies, but only to the extent that such statement or omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnitee, expressly for use in any Registration Statement or any prospectus, including any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of such Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and commissions) received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 3.6 (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligation, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis. (d) In any case in which any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such Indemnifying Party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an Indemnifying Party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or 15 DB1/ 97884447.26

delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes as 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, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (z) does not involve any injunctive or equitable relief that would be binding on the indemnified party or any payment that is not covered by the indemnification hereunder. (e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement. (f) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.6 is unavailable to a Indemnified Party from the Person against the Indemnifying Party with respect to any Losses or is insufficient to hold the Indemnified Party harmless as contemplated therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the 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 3.6(f) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 3.6. No Indemnified Party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 3.7 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of the MSD Parties to registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article 3 may be assigned to any permitted transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the number of Registrable Securities that are being assigned. 3.8 Company Holdback.

such securities without registration; and (d) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request (including, without limitation (i) making its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reasonably available to potential purchasers in a reasonable manner (by telephone where feasible) and except during periods when the Company has restricted access to investors in accordance with its Regulation FD procedures and other policies and procedures required by applicable law; and (ii) executing a customary engagement letter that will provide for customary indemnification of a placement agent with respect to such placement), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act, and provided that the commission and fees for such placement shall be at the expense of the requesting Holder 3.10 Opt-Out Notice. At any time, any Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed underwritten offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing.

The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that violates or is inconsistent or conflicts with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement. 5.5 Amendments and Waivers; etc. (a) Subject to Section 5.5(b), the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived only upon the prior written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the MSD Parties; provided that (i) the Company may amend Schedule I hereto to add any Persons who are entitled to receive any Shares in accordance with the Merger Agreement who are not Member Parties as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) any provision of this Agreement applicable to all Member Parties (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not just the MSD Parties) shall only be amended or waived upon the prior written consent of (x) other than with respect to Article III, the Member Parties holding more than 50% of the Shares still held by the Member Parties or a Permitted Transferee thereof, or (y) with respect to Article III, Member Parties holding more than 50% of the Registrable Shares as of the time of such amendment or waiver.

(c) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law. Any reference in this Agreement to the consent of the MSD Parties shall mean the consent of the MSD Parties in their sole discretion. 5.6 Successors and Assigns. Except as set forth in Section 3.7, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that the Member Parties may assign its rights hereunder to any Affiliate of such Member Party; provided that such Affiliate (x) has executed a customary joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, in which such Affiliate agrees to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the Member Party and (y) remains an Affiliate of the Member Party for so long as Article I remains in effect.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 5.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart. 23 DB1/ 97884447.26

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such State and without reference to the choice or conflict of law principles (whether of the state of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the Laws of a different jurisdiction. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the state of Delaware (or solely if such courts decline jurisdiction in any federal court located in the state of Delaware) any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such Action may be heard and determined in such court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, counterclaim, or otherwise, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action. The parties hereto further agree, (i) to the extent permitted by Law, that final and nonappealable judgment against any of them in any Action contemplated above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment and (ii) that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 5.14. 5.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereto knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by any of them against the other arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, or any other agreements executed in connection herewith or the administration thereof or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein. No party hereto shall seek a jury trial in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or any other litigation procedure based upon, or arising out of, this Agreement or any related instruments or the relationship between the parties hereto. No party hereto will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. Each party hereto certifies that it has been induced to enter into this agreement or instrument by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications set forth above in this Section 5.11. No party hereto has in any way agreed with or represented to any other party that the provisions of this Section 5.11 will not be fully enforced in all instances. 5.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.10, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court set forth in Section 5.10, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. 5.13 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person other than the parties hereto and each such party’s respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, all of whom shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement; provided that (i) any Person (other than the Member Parties) that becomes a Holder shall be an intended third-party beneficiary hereof, (ii) the Identified Persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of Section 2.6, (iii) each member of the MSD Group is an intended third-party beneficiary of Section 2.5, and (iv) the Persons indemnified under Article III are intended third-party beneficiaries of Article III. 5.14 Notices.
