AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the following terms have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Constructive Disposition” means, with respect to a security, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a derivative contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative, swap, “put-call”, margin, securities lending or other transaction that has or reasonably would be expected to have the effect of changing, limiting, arbitraging or reallocating the economic benefits and risks of ownership of such security.

(b) “Termination Date” means the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the date on which any amendment to the Merger Agreement is effected, or any waiver of the Company’s rights under the Merger Agreement is granted, in each case, without the Stockholders’ prior written consent, that (A) diminishes the Per Share Price to be received by the stockholders of the Company, (B) changes the form in which the Per Share Price is payable to the stockholders of the Company, (C) extends the Termination Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (D) imposes any additional conditions on the Stockholder’s right to receive the Per Share Price.

(c) A person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of a security if such person, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly (i) offers, sells, leases, assigns, gifts, grants an option with respect to, transfers, exchanges, tenders or disposes (by merger, by testamentary disposition, by operation of law or otherwise, including by way of Constructive Disposition) of such security or any interest in such security, (ii) creates or permits to exist any pledge, lien, charge, mortgage, encumbrance, hypothecation or security interest of any kind or nature whatsoever on such security, except, in the case of each item described in clause (ii), that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially prevent, delay or impair or otherwise adversely impact the Stockholders’ ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (iii) deposits such security into a voting trust or enters into a voting agreement or arrangement or grants any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or (iv) agrees or commits (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii). For the avoidance of doubt, any direct or indirect transfer of equity or other interests in the Stockholder by its equityholders shall not constitute a Transfer.

2. Transfer Restrictions. From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, each Stockholder agrees not to Transfer (or cause or permit the Transfer of) any of the Covered Shares, or enter into any agreement relating thereto, except with Parent’s prior written consent; provided, however, that any Stockholder may Transfer any such Covered Shares to (a) any other Stockholder or any Affiliate of any such Stockholder or (b) any beneficial owner of the Stockholder, in each case only if the transferee of such Covered Shares evidences in writing reasonably satisfactory to Parent such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same effect as such transferring Stockholder. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Covered Shares in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, no Stockholder shall make any demands to

register any of its Covered Shares pursuant to the terms of that certain Registration Rights and Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2019, by and between the Company and the persons listed on Schedule A attached thereto, as amended.

3. Agreement to Vote.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the 203 Approval, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company (and at every adjournment or postponement thereof) to vote on any matter contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder shall vote, and shall cause or direct to be voted, all of such Stockholder’s Covered Shares:

(i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger;

(ii) in favor of the approval of any proposal to adjourn the meeting to a later date, if there are not sufficient affirmative votes (in person or by proxy) to obtain the Stockholder Approval on the date on which such meeting is held and Parent proposes or requests such postponement or adjournment in accordance with the Merger Agreement;

(iii) against (A) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement or result in any condition set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied prior to the Termination Date, (B) any Acquisition Proposal or (C) approval of any other proposal, transaction, agreement or action that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

(iv) in favor of any other matter or action necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(b) From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, if requested by Parent, each Stockholder shall execute and deliver to Parent a written consent with respect to the Covered Shares approving any matter referenced in sub-clause (i), (ii), or (iv) of Section 3(a) and against the approval of any matter referenced in sub-clause (iii) of Section 3(a). Unless requested by Parent to execute and deliver a written consent in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3(b), each Stockholder agrees not to execute or deliver a written consent with respect to any matter referenced in sub-clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 3(a).

(c) Each Stockholder shall appear, in person or by proxy, at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company or adjournment or postponement thereof (or otherwise cause its Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat) for purposes of calculating a quorum and to vote on any matter contemplated by this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall vote all of its Covered Shares in accordance with this Section 3.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Stockholder shall remain free to vote (or execute proxies with respect to) the Covered Shares with respect to any matter not covered by Section 3(a) in any manner the Stockholder deems appropriate.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 3, shall limit or restrict any Stockholder, Affiliate or designee of any Stockholder who serves as a member of the Company Board in acting in his or her capacity as a director of the Company and exercising his or her fiduciary duties and responsibilities, it being understood that this Agreement applies to each Stockholder solely in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company and does not apply to, and shall not limit or affect in any manner, any such Stockholder, Affiliate or designee’s actions, judgments or decisions as a director of the Company.

4. Termination of Sales Plans. Upon public disclosure of the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder shall (a) terminate any trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in respect of Company Common Stock, to which such Stockholder is a party (any such plan, a “Sales Plan”), (b) take all actions necessary to ensure the continued effectiveness of the termination of any Sales Plan and (c) not Transfer (or cause or permit the Transfer of) Company Common Stock pursuant to any Sales Plan at any time upon or after the execution of this Agreement.

With respect to each Stockholder that is not a natural person, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement, and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, limited liability partnership or similar equivalent action on the part of such Stockholder and (ii) such Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the applicable law of its jurisdiction of formation. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, this Agreement is enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by Enforceability Limitations.

(b) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery by such Stockholder of this Agreement, the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) require any consent or approval under, or result in a violation or breach of, any agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder may be bound, including any voting agreement or voting trust, (ii) result in the creation of any pledge, lien, charge, mortgage, encumbrance or security interest of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than Permitted Liens or those created by this Agreement) on any of the assets or properties of such Stockholder, (iii) violate any applicable law or order or (iv) with respect to each Stockholder that is not a natural person, violate the organizational documents of such Stockholder.

(g) No Inconsistent Agreements. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, such Stockholder (i) has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any of its Covered Shares and (ii) has not granted a proxy or power of attorney or entered into any other arrangement with respect to any of its Covered Shares, in each case, that is inconsistent with such Stockholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not terminate upon a Company Board Recommendation Change unless the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such party granting such waiver. 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 or in equity.

(d) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that, (i) the parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, neither the Stockholder nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. It is explicitly agreed that Parent shall have the right to an injunction,

specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing each Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.

Without limitation the rights of any party against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for beach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages for breach of this Agreement from, any Non-Recourse Party.

No party hereto may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
