(c)Additional Purchase and Sale. After the Initial Closing, the Purchaser hereby conveys to the Company the option (such option, the “Purchaser Commitment”), exercisable on or prior to the Exercise Expiration Date, to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees and commits to purchase from the Company, upon the Company’s exercise of such option via delivery by the Company of an Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 1.2(c), on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to any Additional Closing set forth in this Agreement, in one or more Additional Closings, (i) the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Delayed Draw Preferred Shares”) equal to the number of shares set forth in such Exercise Notice which shall be (1) greater than or equal to 50,000 or, if less than 50,000, (2) the number of the Undrawn Portion, for the Preferred Shares Purchase Price; provided that the aggregate number of the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares to be purchased, issued and sold in connection with all Additional Closings shall not exceed 150,000 (such number of shares, as may be reduced by the Commitment Reduction Amount from time to time, the “Total Delayed Draw Preferred Commitment”); provided further that the Company may reduce, in whole or in part, upon a written notice (a “Commitment Reduction Notice”) to the Purchaser at any time or from time to time, the Total Delayed Draw Preferred Commitment (as of any time of determination, the number of shares specified in all such written notices delivered at or prior to such time, the “Commitment Reduction Amount”), (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Delayed Draw Common Shares” and, together with the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares, the “Delayed Draw Shares”) equal to the number of the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares set forth in such Exercise Notice divided by 150,000 multiplied by the Total Delayed Draw Common Commitment, for the Common Shares Purchase Price; provided that the aggregate number of the Delayed Draw Common Shares to be issued in connection with all Additional Closings shall not exceed 3,375,000 (subject to equitable adjustment for any stock dividend (including any dividend of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Initial Closing or pursuant to Section 1.1(e) from time to time, the “Total Delayed Draw Common Commitment”) and (iii) the Top Up Shares, if any,
2

pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 1.1(d) for the Common Shares Purchase Price (each such transaction, an “Additional Purchase and Sale”).
(d)Top Up Shares. In the event that the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for the 30 Trading Days immediately prior to the Additional Closing Date for any Additional Purchase and Sale (the “Measurement Price”) fails to exceed the Threshold Price, the Purchaser shall purchase, and the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Top Up Shares”) with an aggregate value (based on the Measurement Price) equal to (i) the value of the Delayed Draw Common Shares to be issued in connection with such Additional Closing (valued based on the Threshold Price) less (ii) the value of the Delayed Draw Common Shares to be issued in connection with such Additional Closing (valued based on the Measurement Price); provided that the aggregate number of Initial Closing Common Shares, Initial Closing II Common Shares, Delayed Draw Common Shares and Top Up Shares to be issued in connection with all Closings shall not exceed 13,975,000 (subject to equitable adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or stock combination of the Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Initial Closing or pursuant to Section 1.1(e) from time to time, the “Total Transaction Common Commitment”).
(e)Adjustments. Each of the Total Delayed Draw Common Commitment and the Total Transaction Common Commitment (each, a “Common Commitment”) shall be subject to adjustment (an “Adjustment”) from time to time as provided in this Section 1.1(e).
(i)Adjustment Upon Non-Cash Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Initial Closing, (a) pay a non-cash dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Stock, or (b) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, each Common Commitment immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased so that such Common Commitment is for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment was for immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, each Common Commitment immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased so that such Common Commitment is for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment was for immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event. Any Adjustment under this Section 1.1(e)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or consolidation.
3

(ii)Adjustment Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Recapitalization, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. If the Company reorganizes its capital, reclassifies or recapitalizes the stock of the Company (other than (x) a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or (y) as a result of a non-cash dividend or other distribution upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or subdivision or combination of the Common Stock to which Section 1.1(e)(i) shall apply), consolidates or merges with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving Person or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), or sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person, or any cash, units, shares or stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of the units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to holders of the Common Stock, each Common Commitment shall be equitably adjusted so that such Common Commitment is for the number of units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person or of the Company, if it is the surviving Person, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment was for immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive upon the happening of such event. If any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets occurs, the successor or acquiring Person (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities of the Company hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) in order to provide for adjustments of each Common Commitment, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 1.1(e), and all references in this Agreement to the “Company” shall be deemed to be a reference to such successor or acquiring Person and all references in this Agreement to “Common Stock” shall be deemed to be references to the applicable units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities and/or property receivable upon consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such transaction, then the Purchaser, in connection with such transaction and at the same time holders of Common Stock are allowed to make such election, shall be given the right to make a similar election with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment is for.
(iii)Adjustment Upon Spin-Off. If the Company makes any payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), each Common Commitment immediately prior to such Spin-Off
4

shall be increased by multiplying such Common Commitment by the quotient of (x) the sum of (A) the average of the Market Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of such stock or equity interest over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off and (B) the average of the Market Prices of Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “Spin-Off Common Stock Market Price”), divided by (y) the Spin-Off Common Stock Market Price. Such Adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iii) shall occur on the tenth consecutive Trading Day after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off. No Adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iii) which shall have the effect of decreasing a Common Commitment.
(iv)Adjustment Upon Cash Dividend. If the Company makes any cash dividend (excluding any cash dividend distributions in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up) or distribution during any quarterly fiscal period to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, each Common Commitment immediately prior to such cash dividend shall be adjusted by multiplying such Common Commitment by the quotient of (x) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way without the right to receive such distribution (the “Cash Dividend Common Stock Market Price”), divided by (y) the difference between (A) the Cash Dividend Common Stock Market Price, minus (B) the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock. Such Adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iv) shall become effective immediately following the date for such determination. No Adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iv) which shall have the effect of decreasing a Common Commitment.
(v)The provisions of Section 1.1(e)(i)-(iv) shall similarly apply to successive transactions.
Section I.2Closing.
(a)Initial Closing. On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Initial Closing Shares (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of final documents and signature pages, on the second (2nd) Business Day after all of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Initial Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), or such other time and place as the Company and the Purchaser may agree.

The date on which the Initial Closing II is to occur is herein referred to as the “Initial Closing II Date.” At the Initial Closing II, upon receipt by the Company of payment of the Initial Purchase Price II by or on behalf of the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the issuance of the Initial Closing II Common Shares in the name of the Purchaser in book entry form on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.
(c)Additional Closings. On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to any Additional Closing set forth in this Agreement, each closing of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Delayed Draw Shares and, if any, the Top Up Shares to be issued at such Additional Closing (each, an “Additional Closing” and, collectively, the “Additional Closings”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of final documents and signature pages, on the later of (i) the third (3rd) Business Day after all of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at such Additional Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time) and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day after which the Company provides written notice to the Purchaser that the Company is exercising its option to sell Delayed Draw Shares pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and the number of Delayed Draw Shares the Company intends to sell in such Additional Closing (such written notice an “Exercise Notice”), or such other time and place as the Company and the Purchaser may agree. An “Additional Closing Date” means each such date on which an Additional Closing is to occur. Exercise Notices in respect of an Additional Closing may only be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser on or prior to the Exercise Expiration Date and may not be revoked without the written consent of the Purchaser. At an Additional Closing, upon receipt by the Company of payment of the full purchase price to be paid at the Additional Closing therefor by or on behalf of such Purchaser to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the issuance of the Delayed Draw Shares and, if any, the Top Up Shares, to be issued in connection with such Additional Closing in the name of the Purchaser in book entry form on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.
Section I.3Purchaser Commitment Premium. In consideration for the Purchaser’s agreement to provide the Purchaser Commitment in accordance with this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Purchaser a commitment premium (the “Purchaser Commitment Premium”) payable in cash at the applicable Commitment Premium Rate in accordance with this Section 1.3. The Company shall pay to the Purchaser on the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing and on the first Business Day of each successive three (3)
6

month period (each such period, a “Commitment Premium Period”) the Purchaser Commitment Premium by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser, computed at the then-applicable Commitment Premium Rate on the product of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Undrawn Portion measured as of the last day of the immediately preceding Commitment Premium Period (or, if there is no preceding Commitment Premium Period, the day immediately prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date). The “Undrawn Portion” means, as of any time of determination, (x) the Total Delayed Draw Preferred Commitment (as reduced by any Commitment Reduction Amount) less (y) the aggregate number of the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares purchased, issued and sold in connection with any Additional Closings occurring prior to such time of determination. The “Commitment Premium Rate” shall be (i) 1.5% per annum for the period from and including the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date up to but excluding the 12 month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and (ii) 3.0% per annum from and including the 12 month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date up to but excluding the Exercise Expiration Date. The Purchaser Commitment Premium shall be computed daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days based on the Undrawn Portion computed as of 11:59:59 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the immediately preceding Commitment Premium Period (or, if there is no preceding Commitment Premium Period, the day immediately prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date). The Purchaser Commitment Premium shall cease to accrue on the earlier of (1) the Exercise Expiration Date and (2) the date on which there is no Undrawn Portion. The parties hereto agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Purchaser Commitment Premium is intended to be treated as the payment by the Company to the Purchaser of the premium for a put option sold by the Purchaser to the Company hereunder that reduces the Purchaser’s basis with respect to the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares issued in any Exercise Notice and does not create original issue discount for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable Law.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Series A Director are primary and any obligation of the Purchaser Parties or their Affiliates to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Series A Director are secondary).
(e)For so long as the Purchaser Parties hold the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to appoint three (3) non-voting observers to the Board of Directors (collectively, “Observers”), which Observers shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors (excluding, except as provided in Section 4.1(a), any meetings of the committees thereof), and to receive any notices, minutes, consents and other materials that were provided to the Directors at the same time and the same manner, subject to such Observers entering into a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably approved by the Board of Directors; provided, that such Observers may be excluded from any portion of any such meetings and/or distributions of materials if the Company determines in good faith that such exclusion or withholding of information is reasonably necessary to (i) preserve any attorney-client privilege, (ii) protect any confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any confidential or proprietary information of a third party that the Company is reasonably required or requested to hold in confidence or (iii) prevent an actual or potential conflict of interest.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchased Preferred Shares may only be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred to a Person that is (i) a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (ii) a “foreign government” eligible for and claiming the benefits of an exemption from taxation under Section 892 of the Code (including a 0% rate of withholding with respect to U.S.-source dividends); provided that such foreign government delivers to the Company prior to such transfer a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-8EXP (including any required attachments) to establish such exemption from taxation under Section 892 of the Code and agrees that if the information provided on any such IRS Form W-8EXP previously delivered changes, or if a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the information on such IRS Form W-8EXP obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, such foreign government shall promptly inform the Company and deliver promptly an updated, duly executed, valid, accurate
24

and properly completed IRS Form W-8EXP), or (iii) a “withholding foreign partnership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-5(c)(2)) that has assumed primary responsibility for withholding under chapters 3 and 4 of the Code, information reporting under chapter 61 of the Code, backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code, and/or withholding under other provisions of the Code; provided that such Person delivers to the Company prior to such transfer a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) certifying that such holder is a “withholding foreign partnership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-5(c)(2)) that is compliant with the terms of its withholding foreign partnership agreement with the IRS (including any required attachments) and agrees that if the information provided on any such IRS Form W-8IMY previously delivered changes, or if a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the information on such IRS Form W-8IMY obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, such Person shall promptly inform the Company and deliver promptly an updated, duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-8IMY (including any required attachments).

investment in the Company.

The Purchaser shall be responsible for any non-compliance with this Section 4.5 by its Representatives or any such prospective purchaser.
(b)In the event that the Purchaser or any of its Representatives is required or requested by applicable law (including oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Purchaser will provide the Company with prompt notice (unless such notification is prohibited by applicable law and other than in connection with a routine audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a regulatory or governmental entity that does not reference the Company or this Agreement) so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.5. In the event that such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, that no such notice is required to be provided to the Company or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.5, the Purchaser may disclose such Confidential Information without liability hereunder.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, financial statements and other reports required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 4.6 filed by the Company with the SEC and available on XXXXX (or such other free, publicly-accessible internet database that may be established and maintained by the SEC as a substitute for or successor to XXXXX) shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Purchaser Parties on the date on which the Company posts such documents to XXXXX (or such other free, publicly-accessible internet database that may be established and maintained by the SEC as a substitute for or successor to XXXXX).

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the rights of the Purchaser Parties under this Section 4.6 may be assigned by the Purchaser Parties to any transferee of Purchased Preferred Shares of at least the Threshold Amount and upon such assignment, such transferee shall also be considered a Purchaser Party for

The Purchaser Parties shall pay or cause to be paid the Company’s reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with the provision of information under this Section 4.8(a).
(b)Tax Treatment. For all U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, the Company and the Purchaser, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or by a change in applicable Law, (i) subject to the final
30

sentence of this Section 4.8(b), shall not treat or report any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock (including any dividends that are accrued and added to the Liquidation Preference, as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as income or gain to the Purchaser in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, unless and until any such amounts are declared and paid in cash (or as a Non-Cash Dividend) to the Purchaser in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) shall treat the sum of the Common Stock Allocation and the Discount as a U.S. dollar-denominated amount giving rise to a U.S. dollar-denominated reduction in the “issue price” paid by the Purchaser for the Series A Preferred Stock (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that the Purchaser shall be required to accrue and include in income for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes as a dividend over the term of the Series A Preferred Stock on a constant-yield-to-maturity basis. The Company and the Purchaser shall file all income Tax Returns in a manner consistent with Section 1.3 and this Section 4.8 except as otherwise required by a change in Law (including any interpretation by a Governmental Entity) or by a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company (or its Affiliates) be liable to the Purchaser or to any other party for any damages (including Taxes) arising from any of the foregoing “changes in applicable Law” or “determinations.”
(c)Investment Unit Allocation. The Purchaser and the Company shall treat and report the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issued to the Purchaser hereunder as having been issued as part of an “investment unit” within the meaning of Code Section 1273(c)(2) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), with (x) a portion of the total amount paid for such Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock equal to the aggregate fair market value of such Common Stock (which shall be determined based on the applicable trading price of the Company’s Common Stock) being allocated to such Common Stock (the “Common Stock Allocation”) and (y) the remainder being allocated to such Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days after the Initial Closing II Date and each subsequent Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a draft valuation setting forth in reasonable detail the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation with respect to the Purchased Shares issued on such Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Closing II Date, with respect to the Purchased Shares issues on the Initial Closing Date and the Initial Closing II Date) (such draft valuation, the “Draft Purchased Shares Valuation”) for the Purchaser’s review. If the Purchaser does not agree with the Draft Purchased Shares Valuation, then within ten (10) days of receipt of the Draft Purchased Shares Valuation the Purchaser shall determine and deliver to the Company a proposed valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation (the “Purchaser’s Proposed Valuation”). If the Purchaser and the Company are not able to come to an agreement as to the final valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation within ten (10) days thereafter, the Purchaser and the Company shall agree in good faith on an independent nationally recognized valuation or financial advisory firm (the “Valuation Firm”) to determine the final valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation, which valuation must be within the range of the Purchaser’s Proposed Valuation and the Draft Purchased Shares Valuation. All fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Valuation Firm hereunder shall be borne in inverse proportion to the relative extent to which the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand,
31

prevail on the disagreements resolved by the Valuation Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Valuation Firm. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Valuation Firm shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. Each valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation shall, once final (as finalized, a “Purchased Shares Valuation”), be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company, and the Purchaser and the Company agree to file all U.S. federal, state and local income Tax Returns consistent with each Purchased Shares Valuation.
(d)The Company (and any other applicable withholding agent hereunder) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable tax Law. To the extent that such withheld amounts are paid over to or deposited with the proper Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section IV.9Nasdaq Listing. To the extent required by the Nasdaq Global Market and the Company has not done so prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall apply to cause the Purchased Common Shares to be approved for listing prior to the Initial Closing or Additional Closing, as applicable, on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of all of the Purchased Common Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of the Purchased Common Shares. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying the obligations under this Section 4.9.
Section IV.10State Securities Laws. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) obtain all necessary permits and qualifications, if any, or secure an exemption therefrom, required by any state or country prior to the offer and sale of Common Stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock and (b) cause such authorization, approval, permit or qualification to be effective as of the applicable Closing.
Section IV.11Section 16b-3 Matters.

34

the maximum extent permitted by law, when the Purchaser Parties take any action under this Agreement to give or withhold their consent, the Purchaser Parties shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company or the other stockholders of the Company and may act exclusively in their own interest; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the parties hereto to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the fiduciary duties of the Series A Director.

Section IV.15Corporate Actions. The Company shall not adopt any stockholder rights agreement, “poison pill” or similar anti-takeover agreement or plan that prohibits the Purchaser Parties from taking any of the actions permitted by this Agreement under Section 4.2 or the Certificate of Designations.
Section IV.16Corporate Opportunities. In recognition and anticipation that (1) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Company, (2) the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or proposes to engage, and (3) members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or proposes to engage, the provisions of this Section 4.16 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Purchaser Parties, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith. None of (1) the Purchaser Parties or any of their Affiliates, or (2) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (1) and (2) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from,
35

directly or indirectly, (A) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (B) otherwise competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any of its Affiliates. Subject to the following sentence, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of this Company) if such opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and this section shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (1) the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (2) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company, or (3) is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
Section IV.17Financing Cooperation. If requested by the Purchaser Parties, the Company will provide the following cooperation in connection with the Purchaser Parties obtaining any Permitted Loan following the Closing: (i) using good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an issuer agreement (an “Issuer Agreement”) with each lender in customary form in connection with such transactions (which agreement may include, without limitation, agreements and obligations of the Company relating to procedures and specified time periods for effecting Transfers upon foreclosure, agreements to not intentionally hinder or delay exercises of remedies on foreclosure, acknowledgments regarding corporate policy, if applicable, certain acknowledgments regarding securities law status of the pledge arrangements and a specified list of Company Competitors) and subject to the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with such changes thereto as are requested by such lender and customary for similar financings, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to (A) remove any restrictive legends on certificates representing pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, obtaining CUSIP numbers for shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including if
36

requested by Purchaser obtaining a different CUSIP number for shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are issued at a particular Closing from the CUSIP number for shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are issued at a different Closing) and depositing such pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in book entry form on the books of The Depository Trust Company, when eligible to do so (for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock will not be considered so eligible prior to the date the lender has a valid six-month “holding period” (as defined in Rule 144) in such shares of Common Stock) or (B) without limiting the generality of clause (A), if such Series A Preferred Stock is eligible for resale under Rule 144A, depositing such pledged Series A Preferred Stock in book entry form on the books of The Depository Trust Company or other depository with customary Rule 144A restrictive legends in lieu of the legends specified in Section 4.3 above, (iii) if so requested by such lender or counterparty, as applicable, (x) re-issuing the pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in certificated form in the name of a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates and/or (y) re-registering the pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in certificated form or in book-entry form, as so requested, in the name of the relevant lender, counterparty, custodian or similar party to a Permitted Loan, with respect to Permitted Loans solely as securities intermediary and only to the extent a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates continues to beneficially own such pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, (iv) entering into customary triparty agreements with each lender and the Purchaser Parties relating to the delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock to the relevant lender for crediting to the relevant collateral accounts upon funding of the loan and payment of the purchase price including a right for such lender as a third party beneficiary of the Company’s obligations hereunder to issue the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock upon payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (v) such other cooperation and assistance as the Purchaser Parties may reasonably request (which cooperation and assistance, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any requirements that the Company deliver information, compliance certificates or any other materials typically provided by borrowers to lenders) that will not unreasonably disrupt the operation of the Company’s business, in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), subject to receipt of customary legal opinions and certificates and the satisfaction of any relevant requirements of the Company’s transfer agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the Company’s obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement is conditioned on (i) the relevant Purchaser Party certifying to the Company in writing that (A) the loan agreement with respect to which the Issuer Agreement is being delivered constitutes a Permitted Loan being entered into in accordance with this Agreement, such Purchaser Party has pledged Common Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock as collateral to the lenders under such Permitted Loan and that the execution of such Permitted Loan and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (B) to the extent applicable, whether the registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are being assigned to the lenders under that Permitted Loan and (C) such Purchaser Party acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be relying on such certificate when entering into the Issuer Agreement and any inaccuracy in such certificate will be deemed a breach of this Agreement and (ii) the Issuer Agreement containing customary representations, warranties and covenants for the benefit of the Company from the relevant Purchaser Party and the lender reasonably satisfactory to the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an undertaking of the lender to sell any pledged Series A Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock in compliance with the Foreclosure Limitations). The Purchaser Parties acknowledge and agree that the
37

statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement are solely for the benefit of the applicable lenders party thereto and that in any dispute between the Company and the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to use the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement against the Company.
Section IV.18Registration Statement. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause there to be an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued in any Additional Closing in advance of such Additional Closing, to the extent legally permissible. In the event the shares of Common Stock to be issued in an Additional Closing are not registered at the time of consummation of such Additional Closing, the Company agrees that, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such Additional Closing, it will use reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of Common Stock and to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or 120 calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review such registration statement) and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Company is notified by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

So long as the Purchaser Parties own any Purchased Preferred Shares, if the Company makes any public or non-public offering of any capital stock of, other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company or any securities that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) capital stock of, other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company (collectively “Preemptive Securities”), including, for the purposes of this Article VI, warrants, options or other such rights (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (1) issuances of any securities to directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company, (2) issuances of any securities pursuant to an employee stock option plan, management incentive plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan or stock ownership plan or similar benefit plan, program or agreement, (3) issuances made as consideration for any acquisition (by sale, merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or otherwise) by the Company of equity in, or assets of, another Person, business unit, division or business, (4) issuances of any securities issued as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, reclassification or reorganization or similar event and (5) shares of a Subsidiary of the Company issued to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company), the Purchaser Parties shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company its Preemptive Rights Portion of such New Securities for the same price and on the same terms as that offered to the other purchasers of such New Securities; provided, that the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to acquire any New Securities pursuant to this Article VI to the extent the issuance of such New Securities to the Purchaser Parties would require approval of the stockholders of the Company as a result of the Purchaser status, if applicable, as an Affiliate of the Company or pursuant to the rules and listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market until the Company obtains such approval, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval as promptly as practicable.
Section VI.2Calculation of Preemptive Rights Portion. Subject to the foregoing proviso in Section 6.1, the amount of New Securities that each Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (1) the total number of such offered shares of New Securities by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of the Purchased Common Shares held by the Purchaser, as of such date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date (the “Preemptive Rights Portion”).
44

Section VI.3Preemptive Rights Notices and Procedures. If the Company proposes to offer New Securities, it shall give the Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the anticipated price (or range of anticipated prices), anticipated amount of New Securities and other material terms and timing upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed with respect to such offering) at least seven (7) Business Days prior to such issuance (or, in the case of a registered public offering, at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the commencement of such registered public offering) (provided that, to the extent the terms of such offering cannot reasonably be provided seven (7) Business Days prior to such issuance, notice of such terms may be given as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event prior to such issuance). The Company may provide such notice to the Purchaser on a confidential basis prior to public disclosure of such offering. Other than in the case of a registered public offering, the Purchaser may notify the Company in writing at any time on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of such issuance (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of such issuance, at any time prior to such issuance) whether the Purchaser will exercise such preemptive rights and as to the amount of New Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 6.2. In the case of a registered public offering, the Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing at any time prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of commencement of such registered public offering (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of commencement of such registered public offering, at any time prior to the date of commencement of such registered public offering) whether the Purchaser will exercise such preemptive rights and as to the amount of New Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 6.2. Such notice to the Company shall constitute a binding commitment by the Purchaser to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. Subject to receipt of the requisite notice of such issuance by the Company, the failure of a Purchaser to respond prior to the time a response is required pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Purchaser’s purchase rights under this Article VI only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.
Section VI.4Purchase of New Securities. The Purchaser shall purchase the New Securities that it has elected to purchase under this Article VI concurrently with the related issuance of such New Securities by the Company (subject to the receipt of any required approvals); provided, that if such related issuance is prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date on which the Purchaser has notified the Company that it has elected to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Article VI, then the Purchaser shall purchase such New Securities within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the related issuance. If the proposed issuance by the Company of securities which gave rise to the exercise by the Purchaser of its preemptive rights pursuant to this Article VI shall be terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any New Securities, then the purchase rights of the Purchaser pursuant to this Article VI shall also terminate as to such proposed issuance by the Company (but not any subsequent or future issuance), and any funds in respect thereof paid to the Company by the Purchaser in respect thereof shall be promptly refunded in full.
45

Section VI.5Consideration Other than Cash. In the case of the offering of securities for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the offering of such securities.
Section VI.6Miscellaneous. The election by the Purchaser to not exercise its subscription rights under this Article VI in any one instance shall not affect its rights as to any subsequent proposed issuance. The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Purchaser’s rights pursuant to this Article VI, including securing any required approvals or consents.
Article VII

(c)Such Persons further covenant not to bring a proceeding with respect to the Applicable Matters (or that could affect any Applicable Matter) other than in such Chosen Court and not to challenge or enforce in another jurisdiction a judgment of such Chosen Court.
(d)Process in any such proceeding may be served on any Person with respect to such Applicable Matters anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such Chosen Court.

Section VII.7Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may be assigned (a) in connection with a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee permitted by Section 4.2(a), (b) as collateral security to any lender to the Purchaser; provided, however, that a Purchaser Party may assign its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part (including, without limitation, solely the right to purchase Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock at the Closings in accordance with Section 1.2) to one or more Permitted Transferees, including as contemplated in Section 4.2(a) and in the event of such assignment, the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including the rights, interests and obligations so assigned and (c) as contemplated by Section 4.6(f). No other assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, any assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.2(f).
Section VII.8Headings. The Section, Article and other headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section VII.9Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by each party hereto. Any party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other party or parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party or parties hereto to be performed or complied with. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
Section VII.10Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.
(a)For the purposes hereof: (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules and Exhibits) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits, and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified;
49

(iii) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified; and (iv) the word “or”, “any” or “either” shall not be exclusive. References to a Person are also to its permitted assigns and successors. When calculating the period of time between which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded (and unless, otherwise required by Law, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day).
(b)With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration will be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto.
Section VII.11Severability. Any provision hereof that is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof, provided, however, that the parties will attempt in good faith to reform this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intent of any such ineffective provision for the purpose of carrying out such intent.
Section VII.12Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur and that a party may not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party shall without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages or posting a bond be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms, provisions and covenants contained therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company to specifically enforce the obligation of the Purchaser to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and the purchase of the Purchased Shares to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance resulting in the consummation of the issuance of the applicable Purchased Shares in exchange for receipt in full by the Company of the applicable Purchase Price therefor, and (ii) the payment of monetary damages at any time.
Section VII.13Public Announcement. Subject to each party’s disclosure obligations imposed by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which its securities are listed, each of the parties hereto will cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of all news releases and other public information disclosures with respect to this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser will make any such news release or public disclosure without first
50

consulting with the other, and, in each case, also receiving the other’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each party shall coordinate with the party whose consent is required with respect to any such news release or public disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.13 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by the Company or a Purchaser (a) that is consistent with prior disclosure and does not contain any information relating to the transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is made to its auditors, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, limited partners or other Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either this Section 7.13 limit disclosure by any Purchaser Party and their respective Affiliates of ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to its existing or prospective general and limited partners, equityholders, financing sources, members, managers and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, including disclosing information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on their websites in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.
Section VII.14Purchaser Representative. Each Purchaser Party hereby consents to and authorizes (a) the appointment of BCP Helios Aggregator L.P. as the Purchaser Representative hereunder (the “Purchaser Representative”) and as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Purchaser Party, and (b) the taking by the Purchaser Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted by, or with respect to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) the exercise of the power to agree to execute any consents under this Agreement and (ii) to take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Purchaser Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Purchaser Party shall be bound by the actions taken by the Purchaser Representative exercising the rights granted to it by this Agreement, and the Company shall be entitled to rely on any such action or decision of the Purchaser Representative. If the Purchaser Representative shall resign or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Purchaser Parties shall appoint a new Purchaser Representative as soon as reasonably practicable by written consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Purchased Preferred Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser or Purchaser Parties that are successors or assigns of the Purchaser by sending notice and a copy of the duly executed written consent appointing such new Purchaser Representative to the Company.
Section VII.15Non-Recourse. Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto (the “Contract Parties”) and then only with respect to the specific obligations of such party and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein or therein. No Person other than the Contract Parties, including no member, partner, stockholder, unitholder, Affiliate or Representative thereof, nor any member, partner, stockholder, unitholder, Affiliate or Representative of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or based on,
51

in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or their respective negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each of the Contract Parties hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such third Person.
Section VII.16Further Assurances. From the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, without further consideration, the Company and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, appropriate or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and any and all other agreements or instruments executed and delivered to the Purchaser by the Company hereunder or thereunder, as applicable.
Section VII.17HSR Filings.
(a)The Company and the Purchaser agree to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form (the “Initial HSR Form”) pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Initial Closing and the Initial Closing II (which shall request the early termination of any waiting period applicable to the Transactions under the HSR Act) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days (unless the parties mutually agree to a later date), and to supply, as advisable, as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act, and the Company and the Purchaser agree to use reasonable best efforts to promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents that may be required pursuant to the HSR Act, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The “Initial HSR Approval Date” means the date upon which any applicable waiting periods shall have expired or been terminated, and any approvals required shall have been obtained, relating to the transactions contemplated by the Initial Closing and the Initial Closing II.
(b)To the extent required by Law, the Company and the Purchaser agree to make, if necessary, an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form (the “Subsequent HSR Form”, and together with the Initial HSR Form, the “HSR Forms”) pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Additional Closing (which shall request the early termination of any waiting period applicable to such transactions under the HSR Act), and to supply, as advisable, as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act, and the Company and the Purchaser agree to use reasonable best efforts to promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents that may be required pursuant to the HSR Act, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require or obligate the Purchaser to, and the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, agree or otherwise be
52

required to sell, divest or dispose of any assets or business (or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits the freedom of action with respect to, or ability to retain, any businesses, product lines, assets, relationships, or contractual rights), or any other action contemplated by Section 7.17(b) with respect to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including any portfolio company of the Purchaser’s Affiliates, as such term is customarily used in the private equity industry), which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, Blackstone Inc. and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, Blackstone Inc. or any portfolio company or investment of Blackstone Inc. or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle.
(d)Each of the Company and the Purchaser shall (i) cooperate in all respects with the other party in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, including any proceeding initiated by a private person, (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, from or given by the Company or the Purchaser to, as the case may be, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with the other party with respect to information relating to such party and its respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third Person or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that materials furnished pursuant to this Section 7.17(d) may be redacted (a) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and the transactions contemplated hereby or other confidential information, (b) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (c) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns, and the parties may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive or any confidential business material provided to the other under this Section 7.17(d) as “counsel only” or, as appropriate, as “outside counsel only”, and (iv) to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.
(e)Each of the Company and the Purchaser shall not take or agree to take any action that would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or receipt of any governmental approvals that are conditions to any Closing pursuant to Article V.
Section VII.18Commercial Cooperation. For so long as the Purchaser Parties hold the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to introduce the Company to any Sponsor portfolio company involved in renewable energy that could be a potential customer for the Company’s products and any Sponsor portfolio company
53

that could reasonably be expected to be a supplier to the Company that could assist the Company in reducing the cost of its raw materials or components used in its products.
