Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, where applicable, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser; provided that, with respect to each such agreement, the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 4.03 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party by such Purchaser and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of such Purchaser is subject, (b) conflict with or result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Purchaser, or (c) violate any Law of any Governmental Authority or body having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or the property or assets of such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (a) and (c), for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults as would not prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Transaction Documents.

Section 4.04 Certain Fees. No fees or commissions are or will be payable by such Purchaser to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the purchase of any of the Purchased Shares or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for fees or commissions for which the Company is not responsible. Such Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims, demands, or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement, or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Shares or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.05 Unregistered Securities.

(a) Accredited Purchaser Status; Sophisticated Purchaser. Such Purchaser is (a) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, as amended, and (b) an Institutional Account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) and (c) a sophisticated institutional investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, including such Purchaser’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby. Such Purchaser has determined based on its own independent review and such professional advice as it deems appropriate that its purchase of the Purchased Shares and participation in the transactions contemplated hereby (i) are fully consistent with its financial needs, objectives and condition, (ii) comply and are fully consistent with all investment policies, guidelines and other restrictions applicable to such Purchaser, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, (iv) do not and will not violate or constitute a default under such Purchaser’s charter, by-laws or other constituent document or under any law, rule, regulation, agreement or other

obligation by which it is bound and (v) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for such Purchaser, notwithstanding the substantial risks inherent in investing in or holding the Purchased Shares. Such Purchaser is able to bear the substantial risks associated with its purchase of the Purchased Shares, including but not limited to loss of its entire investment therein.

(b) Information. Such Purchaser and its Representatives have (i) received, reviewed and understood the offering materials made available to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company directly, (iii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company that have been requested and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares that have been requested by such Purchaser. In connection with such Purchaser’s investigation of the Company and its businesses and operations, such Purchaser and its Representatives have received from the Company certain forward-looking information. Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) there are uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, (b) such Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and (c) such Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluations of the adequacy and accuracy of all forward-looking statements so furnished to it or its Representatives. Based on such information as such Purchaser has deemed appropriate and without reliance upon the Agent, such Purchaser has independently made its own judgment concerning the Company and its businesses, operations and prospects and analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Agreement, such Purchaser is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchased Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Company, including but not limited to all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters. Neither any inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted at any time by such Purchasers and its Representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchasers’ right (i) to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III above or (ii) to indemnification or any other remedy based on, or with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in any Transaction Document. Such Purchaser understands that as of the date of this Agreement, the Common Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act. Such Purchaser also understands that its purchase of the Purchased Shares involves a high degree of risk. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Purchased Shares.

(c) Residency. Such Purchaser shall cooperate reasonably with the Company to provide any information necessary for any applicable securities filings.

(d) Legends. Such Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Purchased Shares have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or the Purchased Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular

date that can then be immediately sold, the Purchased Shares will bear a restrictive legend substantially as follows: “The securities represented hereby have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities commission of any state in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, accordingly, may not be transferred unless (i) such securities have been registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (ii) such securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.” Additionally, if required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Shares shall bear the legend required by such state authority.

(e) Purchase Representation. Such Purchaser is acquiring its entire beneficial ownership interest in the Purchased Shares for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to any distribution of the Purchased Shares in any manner that would violate the securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction. Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction or the laws of any other jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) and in compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in the Transaction Documents. Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Company, in issuing the Purchased Shares, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser contained in this Article IV in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(f) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely unless and until the Purchased Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser has been advised of and is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(g) Reliance by the Company. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Purchased Shares.

Section 4.07 No Prohibited Trading. From such time as such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or any other Person acting on behalf of the Company regarding the transactions contemplated hereby until the first public announcement of the execution of this Agreement, such Purchaser and any Affiliate of such Purchaser which (i) had knowledge of the

transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) has or shares discretion relating to such Purchaser’s investments or trading or information concerning such Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the Common Shares, or (iii) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) has not (a) offered, sold, contracted to sell, sold any option or contract to purchase, purchased any option or contract to sell, granted any option, right or warrant to purchase, lent, or otherwise transferred or disposed of, directly or indirectly, any of the Purchased Shares or (b) directly or indirectly engaged in any Short Sales or other derivative or hedging transactions with respect to Common Shares, including by means of any swap or other transaction or arrangement that transfers or that is designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, result in the transfer to another, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Purchased Shares, regardless of whether any transaction described in this Section 4.07 is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.07 shall preclude any actions described in clauses (a) or (b) above following the first public announcement of the execution of this Agreement.

Section 4.08 No General Solicitation. Such Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Purchased Shares as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising.

Section 4.10 No Side Agreements. There are no binding agreements by, among or between such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than the Transaction Documents.

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

Section 6.01 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, and hold

each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to (a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by the Company contained herein to be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.13(a), (b) and (c) or Section 3.17 or other representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which, in each case, shall be true and correct in all respects) when made and as of the Closing Date (except for any representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall be required to be true and correct as of such date only) or (b) the breach of any covenants of the Company contained herein; provided that, in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a), such claim for indemnification is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty; provided, further, that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Purchaser Related Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Company shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made; and provided, further, that the aggregate liability of the Company to each Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be greater in amount than such Purchaser’s Funding Obligation, and the aggregate liability of the Company to all Purchasers pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not exceed the Total Funding Obligation. No Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, lost profits, speculative or punitive damages under this Section 6.01; provided, however, that such limitation shall not prevent any Purchaser Related Party from recovering under this Section 6.01 for any such damages to the extent that such damages are in the form of diminution in value or are payable to a third party in connection with any Third-Party Claims.

Section 6.02 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought; provided, however, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VI, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01.

(b) Promptly after any Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The

Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

Section 6.03 Tax Matters. All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the applicable Purchaser’s Funding Obligation for Tax purposes except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE VII

(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and a Purchaser, with respect to itself but not any other Purchaser;

(b) by written notice from either the Company or a Purchaser, with respect to itself but not any other Purchaser, if any Governmental Authority with lawful jurisdiction shall have issued a final order, decree or ruling or taken any other final action restraining, enjoining or

otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and such order, decree, ruling or other action is or shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(c) by written notice from a Purchaser, with respect to itself but not any other Purchaser, if the Closing does not occur by 11:59 p.m. New York time on the Drop-Dead Date; provided, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(c) if such party is, at the time of providing such written notice, in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7.02 Certain Effects of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no further force or effect, except that the provisions of Section 8.03(b) shall remain operative and in full force and effect as between the parties, but the parties shall not be released from any liability arising from or in connection with any breach hereof occurring prior to such termination.

When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be

excluded. If the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 8.04 No Waiver: Modifications in Writing.

(a) Delay. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.

(b) Specific Waiver; Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein or as specifically provided otherwise in any other Transaction Document with respect thereto, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of any Transaction Document shall be effective unless signed by each of the parties thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Company or any Purchaser in any case shall entitle the Company or such Purchaser to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any investigation by or on behalf of any party shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

Section 8.05 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, each of the Purchasers and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except

as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

other applicable exemptions) to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state Laws, including (if there is no such registration statement) a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), a covenant to inform the Company if it should thereafter become an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) and to consent to the notation of an appropriate restriction, and a certification as to the length of time such securities have been held. The Company shall cooperate with each Purchaser to effect the removal of the legend referred to in Section 4.05 at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

Section 8.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein.

Exhibit A

Form of Legal Opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, L.L.P.

(i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation, and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with the corporate power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct the businesses in which it is currently engaged.

(ii) Each of the Company’s material subsidiaries listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Material Subsidiaries”) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has all requisite limited liability company or partnership power and authority, as applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation necessary to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects as described in the Company SEC Documents.

(iii) Except as have been waived or satisfied or as contained in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any Purchased Share pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Company or any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 or any Current Report or Quarterly Report filed thereafter to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound.

(iv) The Purchased Shares have been duly authorized in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws and, when issued and delivered by the Company to the Purchasers upon payment therefor in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(v) No consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of any federal or Delaware court, Governmental Authority or body having jurisdiction over the Company is required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Purchased Shares, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except (i) as may be required in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement to register the resale of the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act, (ii) those that have been obtained or made, (iii) as may be required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, as to which we do not express any opinion, or (iv) such that the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

(vi) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers and the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement and the Investor Representation Letters, the offer, issuance and sale of the Purchased Shares by the Company to the Purchasers solely in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that we express no opinion as to any subsequent sale.

(vii) The Company is not an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(viii) None of the offering, issuance or sale by the Company of the Purchased Shares or the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will result in a breach or violation of (A) the Organizational Documents of the Company, (B) any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 or any Current Report or Quarterly Report filed thereafter, or (C) the DGCL or U.S. federal law, which in the case of clauses (B) or (C) would be reasonably expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that we express no opinion pursuant to this paragraph (viii) with respect to any securities or other anti-fraud law.

(ix) Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except insofar as the enforceability thereof may be limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (B) public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
