2. Demand Registration.

(a) Requests for Registration. The Required Holders may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Required Holder(s) (A) on Form S-1 (or any successor form then in effect) (a “Long-Form Registration”) or (B) on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (a “Short-Form Registration”), if available (any registration under this Section 2(a), a “Demand Registration”); provided that the Company will not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2(a) of this Agreement if within the 120 calendar day period preceding the date of a Demand Registration Notice: (i) the Company effected a Demand Registration, (ii) such Required Holders received notice of such Demand Registration and (iii) such Required Holders were able to register and sell pursuant to such Demand Registration at least 60% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein either at the time of the effectiveness thereof or within 90 calendar days thereafter. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any Demand Registration or cause the same to be declared effective prior to the time the Company would be required to file a Shelf Registration Statement under Section 3(a) of this Agreement or cause the same to be declared effective.

(b) Demand Registration Notices. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Demand Registration Notice”). Each Demand Registration Notice shall specify (i) whether such Demand Registration shall be an underwritten Public Offering and (ii) the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Demand Registration. The Company shall promptly give written notice (a “Company Demand Registration Notice”) of the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2 to all of the Holders within five (5) Business Days after such filing, and, subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) below, shall include in such Demand Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Company Demand Registration Notice.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form registration statement under the rules and regulations of the Securities Act, unless the underwriters, in their reasonable discretion, determine that the use of a Long-Form Registration is necessary in order for the successful offering of such Registrable Securities. Promptly after the Company has become eligible to use Form S-3 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 (or any successor form) available for the resale of Registrable Securities on a continuous or delayed basis.

(d) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration, provided that the Company may include in such Demand Registration shares of its Equity Securities for sale for its own account, subject to the priority provision described below. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriters for such Demand Registration advise the Company and applicable Holders in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold without such adverse effect in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration, allocated pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; (ii) second, securities offered by the Company; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder.

(e) Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting a Demand Registration which is an underwritten Public Offering shall have the right to select the managing underwriters to administer the Public Offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

(f) Effective Demand Registration. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration:

(i) unless it has been declared effective by the Commission and remains continuously effective for the Required Effective Period (as defined below);

(ii) if after such Demand Registration has become effective and prior to all of the Registrable Securities registered in such Demand Registration being sold, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Holders requesting the Demand Registration and such interference is not eliminated within forty-five (45) days thereafter; or

(iii) if the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on the part of the Holders.

3. Shelf Registration.

(a) Requests for Shelf Registration. As soon as practicable after June 28, 2018, the Company shall file a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 covering the resale of the Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) or, if available, on Form S-3 (a “Form S-3 Shelf” and, together with a Form S-1 Shelf, a “Shelf Registration Statement”); provided, that for so long as the Company is actively pursuing an Initial Public Offering, the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement may be delayed until 120 days following the closing of such Initial Public Offering. The Company shall give written notice (a “Company Shelf Registration Notice”) of the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement within five (5) Business Days of such filing to all Holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the Company Shelf Registration Notice. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective on or before September 30, 2018; provided that if as of September 30, 2018 the Company is actively pursuing an Initial Public Offering, the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement may be delayed until 180 days following the closing of such Initial Public Offering. The Shelf Registration Statement shall be effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold; (ii) the date on which all such securities cease to be Registrable Securities or (iii) the maximum length permitted by the Commission. The Company shall maintain the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Conversion to Form S-3. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert any Form S-1 Shelf to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

(c) Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Required Holders may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten Public Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”), provided that the net proceeds to be received by Holders in connection with such Public Offering will be reasonably expected to exceed $25 million. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “Demand Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Demand Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any Demand Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown to all other Holders which have Registrable Securities included on such Shelf Registration (a “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of Section 3(d) below, shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business Days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice.

(d) Priority on Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. The Company shall not include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown that is not a Piggyback Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, provided that the Company may include in such Demand Registration shares of its Equity Securities for sale for its own account, subject to the priority provision described below. If the managing underwriters for such Underwritten Shelf Takedown advise the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Takedown in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown the number of Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten

Shelf Takedown allocated pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; (ii) second, securities offered by the Company; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown to the extent permitted hereunder.

(e) Restrictions on Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two Underwritten Shelf Takedowns during any period of 12 consecutive months and shall not be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown within 60 days after the pricing of a previous Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

(f) Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to select the managing underwriters to administer the Public Offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

(g) Automatic Shelf Registration. Further, upon the Company becoming a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, (i) the Company shall give written notice to all of the Holders as promptly as reasonably practicable, and such notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the basis on which the Company has become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and (ii) the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, register, under an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the sale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after it becomes a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and to cause such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective thereafter until there are no longer any Registrable Securities. The Company shall give written notice of filing such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to all of the Holders as promptly as practicable thereafter. At any time after the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement by the Company, if the Company is no longer a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer (the “Determination Date”), the Company shall (A) as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 20 calendar days after such Determination Date, give written notice thereof to all of the Holders and (B) within 30 calendar days after such Determination Date, file a Registration Statement on an appropriate form (or a post-effective amendment converting the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to an appropriate form) covering all of the Registrable Securities, and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is no longer useable by the Holders to sell their Registrable Securities.

4. Piggyback Registration.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or conduct a Shelf Takedown with respect to a Public Offering of any class of the Company’s Equity Securities (other than a Demand Registration or registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and (i) in the case of a Piggyback Registration that is a Shelf Takedown, such notice shall be given not less than (A) in the case of a “bought deal,” “registered direct offering” or “overnight transaction” (a “Bought Deal”), two (2) Business Days; or (B) otherwise, five (5) Business Days, in each case under this clause (i), prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Shelf Takedown; or (ii) in the case of any other Piggyback Registration, such notice shall be given not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the commencement of marketing efforts for an offering on such Registration Statement. The Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) below, include in such Piggyback Registration, as applicable, all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within (x) in the case of a Bought Deal, two (2) Business Days; (y) in the case any other Shelf Takedown, three (3) Business Days; or (z) otherwise, two (2) Business Days, in each case after the date of the Company’s notice; provided that the Company may not commence marketing efforts for such Public Offering until after such periods and the inclusion of all such securities requested subject to Section 4(b). Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that the fact that such a notice has been delivered shall constitute confidential information and such Holder agrees not to disclose that such notice has been delivered or effect any sale

or distribution of Common Stock until the earlier of (i) the date the registration statement prepared in connection with such Piggyback Registration has been publicly filed with the SEC and (ii) 20 days after the date of such notice; provided however, that with respect to any Piggyback Registration in connection with an initial public offering each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to not effect any sale or distribution of Common Stock from the date of such notice through the marketing period for such offering which marketing period begins within 10 days after the date of notice.

(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. For any Piggyback Registration that includes an underwritten Public Offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price range acceptable to the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the number of Registrable Securities which can be sold without such adverse effect in the following order of priority: (i) first, if the Piggyback Registration includes a primary offering of Company securities for the Company’s own account, the securities offered by the Company thereby; (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Holders allocated pro rata among the Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder; and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, if any.

(c) Selection of Underwriters. For any Piggyback Registration that includes an underwritten Public Offering, the Company will have the sole right to select the underwriters for the Public Offering, each of which shall be a nationally recognized investment bank, reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities, if any, to be included in such Public Offering, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

5. Suspensions; Withdrawals

(a) Suspensions. The Company may postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the Demand Registration Notice, the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a Prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration for up to 45 days from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined below) and therefore suspend sales of Registrable Securities included therein by providing written notice to the Holders if the Company shall have furnished to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer (or other authorized officer) of the Company stating that the Company’s Board of Directors has determined in its reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities should be suspended; provided that the Company may not invoke a delay pursuant to this Section 5(a) more than twice or for more than sixty (60) days in the aggregate, in each case, in any twelve (12) month period. The Company may invoke this Section 5(a) only if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its external advisors or legal counsel, that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to: (i) have a Material Adverse Effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) require premature disclosure of material non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential.

(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement as set forth in Section 5(a) or 6(a)(vi)(A) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. The Company shall not include any material non-public information in the Suspension Notice and or otherwise provide such information to a Holder unless specifically requested by a Holder in writing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension

Notice. Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and Counsel to the Holders, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

(c) Time Extension. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company gives a Suspension Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5, the Company agrees that it shall (i) extend the Required Effective Period which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice; and (ii) provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

(d) Withdrawal Requests. At any time prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Required Holders may withdraw such demand or request for registration (“Withdrawal Request”) by providing written notice of such withdrawal to the Company. A Withdrawal Request shall count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder unless: (i) such withdrawal arose out of the fault of the Company; (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Required Holders, a Material Adverse Effect has occurred; (iii) a Suspension Notice was delivered to the Holders; or (iv) the managing underwriters advise that the amount of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 2(d) by more than 25% of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Registration Statement subject to a Withdrawal Request. Any Holder may withdraw its request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to remove its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement within two (2) Business Days before the earlier of (i) the expected date of the commencement of marketing efforts for the Public Offering in connection with such Registration Statement or (ii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

6. Company Undertakings.

(a) Whenever Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable:

(i) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with regard to such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of an applicable notice from the Required Holders (unless the Registration Statement would be required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Act to include any audited or unaudited consolidated or pro forma financial statements that are not then currently available, in which case, promptly after such financial statements are available) and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable;

(ii) before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are requested to be included in the Registration Statement copies of all such documents, other than exhibits, documents that are incorporated by reference and such documents that are otherwise publicly available on XXXXX, proposed to be filed and such other documents reasonably requested by such Holders and provide Counsel to the Holders with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents of no less than three (3) Business Days;

(v) (A) to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests in writing, (B) keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect, and (C) to do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);

(vi) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, the managing underwriters and Counsel to the Holders (A) at any time when a Prospectus relating to the applicable Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (1) upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, such Registration Statement, or the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relating thereto not misleading or otherwise requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or document, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, furnish a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each seller of such Registrable Securities, Counsel to the Holders and the managing underwriters and file such supplement or amendment with the Commission so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (2) as soon as the Company becomes aware of any comments or inquiries by the Commission or any requests by the Commission or any Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus covering Registrable Securities or for additional information relating thereto, (3) as soon as the Company becomes aware of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending or threatening to suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities or (4) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Security for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (B) when each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when each Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(viii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities from and after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement;

(ix) in connection with any underwritten Public Offering (including an Underwritten Shelf Takedown):

(xx) use commercially reasonable efforts to take all other actions deemed necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of the Company to effect the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

(b) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at the Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(c) As of the date hereof and except as provided pursuant to the Plan, the Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any securities of the Company, including securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into or for shares of any Equity Securities of the Company.

(d) With a view to making available certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, until such date as no Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to:

(ii) make available information necessary to comply with Section 4(a)(7) under the Securities Act and Rule 144, Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)7), Rule 144, Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be amended from time to time, or any other similar rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission; and

(iii) upon the reasonable written request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether the Company has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

(e) The Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Holders, at any time and from time to time, from selling or otherwise transferring Registrable Securities pursuant to a private placement or other transaction which is not registered pursuant to the Securities Act. To the extent reasonably requested by a Holder and the total price of the Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred in such sale or transfer is reasonably expected to exceed $25 million, the Company shall assist and cooperate with such Holder to facilitate such sale or transfer by providing Due Diligence Information to potential purchasers consistent with Section 6(a)(x).

7. Holder Undertakings

(a) Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or used or refer to, any Free Writing Prospectus, and has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company and, in connection with any underwritten Public Offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(b) Information for Inclusion. Each selling Holder that has requested inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and its plan and method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The Company may refuse to proceed with the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities if such Holder unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

(c) Underwritten Public Offering Participation. No Person may participate in any underwritten Public Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in customary form entered into pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no Holder included in any underwritten Public Offering shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than (A) representations and warranties regarding (1) such Holder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (2) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (3) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters, and (B) such other representations, warranties and other provisions relating to such Holder’s participation in such Public Offering as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 10(b) hereof, or to the underwriters with respect thereto, except to the extent of the indemnification being given to the underwriters and their controlling Persons in Section 10(b) hereof.

(d) Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an underwritten Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Takedown requested by Holders pursuant to this Agreement, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such underwritten Public Offering.

(e) Notice Opt-In and Opt-Out. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until a Holder makes an affirmative written election, the Company shall not be required to and shall not deliver any notice or any information to such Holder that would reasonably be expected to constitute material non-public information, including any applicable notices or other information under this Agreement. Upon receipt of written election to receive such notices or information (an “Opt-In Election”) the Company shall be required to and shall provide to the Holder all applicable notices or information

pursuant to this Agreement from the date of such Opt-In Election. At any time following a Holder making an Opt-In Election, such Holder may also make a written election to no longer receive any such notices or information (an “Opt-Out Election”), which election shall cancel any previous Opt-In Election, and, following receipt of such Opt-Out Election, the Company shall not be required to, and shall not, deliver any such notice or information to such Holder from the date of such Opt-Out Election. An Opt-Out Election may state a date on which it expires or, if no such date is specified, shall remain in effect indefinitely. A Holder who previously has given the Company an Opt-In Election or Opt-Out Election may revoke such election at any time, and there shall be no limit on the ability of a Holder to issue and revoke subsequent Opt-In Elections and Opt-Out Elections.

8. Registration Expenses.

(a) Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement (“Registration Expenses”) will be borne by the Company. These fees and expenses will include without limitation (i) stock exchange, Commission, FINRA and other registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with any securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Company and of its independent public accountants and any other accounting and legal fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including any expenses arising from any special audits or “comfort letters” required in connection with or incident to any registration) and other Persons retained by the Company, and (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on a National Securities Exchange.

(b) Reimbursement of Counsel. The Company will also reimburse or pay, as the case may be, the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Counsel to the Holders relating to or in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Agreement within 30 calendar days of presentation of an invoice approved by such Holders and disbursements of each additional counsel retained by any Holder for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such Holder in connection with any underwritten Public Offering if the managing underwriters of such Public Offering or the Company reasonably request such legal opinion and Counsel to the Holders cannot reasonably provide such legal opinion due to legal jurisdiction or otherwise.

9. Lock-Up Agreements.

(a) Lock-Up Agreements. (i) If required by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in an underwritten Public Offering and requested by the managing underwriters of such Public Offering, each of the Holders participating in such Public Offering shall, or (ii) if requested by the managing underwriters of a Public Offering for the account of the Company, each Holder shall, enter into a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriters of such Public Offering to not make any sale or other disposition of any of the Company’s Equity Securities owned by such Holder (a “Lock-Up Agreement”), such agreement to be in customary form and substance with customary exceptions; provided that all executive officers and directors of the Company (and, in the case of clause (i) hereof, the Holders requesting such Lock-Up Agreements) are bound by and have entered into substantially similar Lock-Up Agreements; provided further that the foregoing provisions shall only be applicable to the Holders if all stockholders, officers and directors are treated similarly with respect to any release prior to the termination of the lock-up period such that if any such persons are released, then all Holders shall also be released to the same extent on a pro rata basis. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Registrable Securities (or other securities) subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(a) until the end of the applicable period of the Lock-Up Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9(a) shall cease to apply to such Holder once such Holder no longer beneficially owns any Registrable Securities.

(b) Company Lock-Up. In connection with any underwritten Public Offering, and upon the reasonable request of the managing underwriters, the Company shall: (i) agree to a customary lock-up provision applicable to the Company in an underwriting agreement as reasonably requested by the managing underwriters; and (ii) cause each of its executive officers and directors to enter into Lock-Up Agreements, in each case, in customary form and substance, and with exceptions that are customary, for an underwritten Public Offering.

10. Indemnification; Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder registered pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder’s Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, agents and any Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any underwriter that facilitates the sale of the Registrable Securities and any Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (“Losses”) to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, any road show, as defined in Rule 433(h)(4) under the Securities Act a (“road show”), or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in the case of any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading and the Company agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses (whether or not the indemnified party is a party to any proceeding); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any such Holder specifically for inclusion therein, including, without limitation, any notice and questionnaire. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its Affiliates, directors, employees, members, managers, agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any underwriter that facilitates the sale of Registrable Securities and any Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities were registered, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in any such Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in the case of any Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that the maximum amount to be indemnified by such Holder pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Holder in the Public Offering to which such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus relates; provided, further, that a Holder shall not be liable in any case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, each Holder has furnished in writing to the Company, information expressly for use in, and within a reasonable period of time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the use of the Prospectus, preliminary prospectus, road show or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously provided to the Company. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10(c), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) above unless and to the extent such action and such failure results in material prejudice to the indemnifying party and forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, except as provided in the next sentence, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s rights in the prior sentence, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if:

(i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest;

(ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party;

(iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or

(iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.

No indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 10(c) to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise unless such settlement or compromise (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein, to such indemnified party, of a full and final release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and (y) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) Contribution.

(i) In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) above is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the aggregate Losses (including reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other from the Public Offering of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited in the case of any Holder to the net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Holder in connection with such registration. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by 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 on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(ii) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders of Registrable Securities or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to above in this Section 10(d) shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(d), no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 10, each Person who controls any Holder, agent or underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each director, officer, employee and agent of any such Holder, agent or underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, agent or underwriter, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each officer and director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 10(d).

(e) The provisions of this Section 10 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling Persons referred to in this Section 10 hereof, and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

11. Transfer of Registration Rights.

The rights of a Holder hereunder may be transferred, assigned, or otherwise conveyed on a pro rata basis in connection with any transfer, assignment, or other conveyance of Registrable Securities to any transferee or assignee; provided that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied with respect to any transfer, assignment or conveyance of rights hereunder: (a) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a Joinder; and (c) the Company is given written notice by such Holder within fifteen (15) Business Days of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee, identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned and the total number of Registrable Securities and other Equity Securities of the Company beneficially owned by such transferee or assignee.

12. Amendment, Modification and Waivers; Further Assurances; Joinder.

(a) Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument, (a) signed by (i) the Company, and (ii) the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided, that no provision of this Agreement shall be modified or amended in a manner that is disproportionately and materially adverse to any Holder, without the prior written consent of such Holder, as applicable, or (b) in the case of a waiver, by the party hereto waiving compliance.

(b) Changes in New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock. If, and as often as, there are any changes in the New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof as may be required so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed and the Company shall make appropriate provision in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization that any successor to the Company (or resulting parent thereof) shall agree, as a condition to the consummation of any such transaction, to expressly assume the Company’s obligations hereunder.

(c) Effect of Waiver. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(d) Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further instruments and documents and take all such further action as any other party hereto may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Joinder. Stockholders of New Common Stock or New Preferred Stock or New Common Stock into which the New Preferred Stock converts may join this Agreement as Holders at the approval of the Company, provided that such stockholder agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Company a Joinder.

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including any trustee in bankruptcy) whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of purchasers or Holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent Holder. No assignment or delegation of this Agreement by the Company, or any of the Company’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder, shall be effective against any Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder.

(b) Remedies; Specific Performance.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement and shall not be required to prove irreparable injury to such party or that such party does not have an adequate remedy at law with respect to any breach of this Agreement (each of which elements the parties admit). The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge that each and every obligation applicable to it contained in this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable against it and hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of their respective obligations hereunder.

(o) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).

(q) Independent Agreement by the Holders.

Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.
