2.1.3 The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Subscription Agreement 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, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Subscriber pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Subscriber is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of Subscriber, taken as a whole (a “Subscriber Material Adverse Effect”), or materially affect the legal authority of Subscriber to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (b) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of Subscriber; or (c) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Subscriber or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Subscriber Material Adverse Effect or materially affect the legal authority of Subscriber to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.4 Subscriber (a) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) and an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth in Schedule A, (b) is acquiring the Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is an accredited investor and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (c) is not acquiring the Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule A following the signature page hereto). Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

2.1.5 Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands that the Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber, any investment fund or managed account managed by the same investment adviser as Subscriber or having the same general partner or an affiliated general partner (each “Subscriber Affiliate”) absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration statement is not required and an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available, and that any certificates or book entries representing the Shares shall contain a legend to such effect. Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Shares.

2.1.6 Subscriber acknowledges that no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements are being made to Subscriber by the Company or any of its officers, affiliates, directors, agents or advisors expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.7 Subscriber represents and warrants that (a) it is not a Benefit Plan Investor as contemplated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or (b) its acquisition and holding of the Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

2.1.8 In making its decision to purchase the Shares, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received and has had an adequate opportunity to review, and ask questions with respect to, such financial and other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares and made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant tax, legal and other economic considerations relevant to Subscriber’s investment in the Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has reviewed the documents provided to Subscriber by the Company. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber has had the full opportunity to ask such questions, and has received such answers and obtained such information regarding the Company as Subscriber has deemed necessary and adequate to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

2.1.9 Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Shares solely and directly from the Company as a result of a pre-existing, substantial relationship with the Company, and the Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Company. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that each of the Company and the Placement Agent (as defined below) has not acted as its financial advisor, agent or fiduciary. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Shares (a) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (b) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any other federal, state or foreign securities laws.

2.1.10 Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Shares. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder meets the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).

2.1.11 Subscriber represents and acknowledges that Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial, investment and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares, has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Shares and determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber further acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss of investment exists and that it is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated in this Subscription Agreement.

2.1.12 Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal, state or other agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

2.1.13 Subscriber represents and warrants that neither Subscriber, nor any director or officer of Subscriber, nor to the knowledge of Subscriber, any employee, agent, affiliate or representative of Subscriber or any director or officer of any of its subsidiary is (a) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity that is the subject of any sanctions administered or enforced by OFAC , the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authorities (“Sanctions”), (b) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against Sanctions and the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Shares were legally derived.

2.1.14 Subscriber has, and at the Closing will have, sufficient available funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.1.

2.2.13 The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate domestic or foreign regulatory authority necessary to conduct its business, except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

2.2.14 Subject to the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued in conformity with the terms of this Subscription Agreement constitute transactions which are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and from all applicable state registration or qualification requirements.

2.2.16 As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the filed SEC Documents are the only filings required of the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company is engaged in all material respects only in the business described in the SEC Documents and the SEC Documents contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects of the business of the Company. Since the filing of each of the SEC Documents, no event has occurred that would require an amendment or supplement to any such SEC Document and as to which such an amendment or supplement has not been filed prior to the date hereof.

2.2.17 The financial statements included in each SEC Document comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement) and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of the dates shown and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and, in the case of quarterly financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company has not incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent (as to amount and nature) with past practices since the date of such financial statements, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2.18 Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Documents, the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (b) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (c) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (d) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company has established internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (the “internal controls”) as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of such internal controls based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Documents, since the Evaluation Date, there have been

no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

2.2.19 The Company has timely prepared and filed (or has obtained an extension of time within which to file) all tax returns required to have been filed by the Company with all appropriate governmental agencies and timely paid all taxes shown thereon or otherwise owed by it, other than taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been made on the Company’s financial statements included in the SEC Documents, except in all such cases where the failure to so file or the failure to so pay has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate in all material respects, and there are no material unpaid assessments against the Company nor any basis for the assessment of any additional taxes, penalties or interest for any fiscal period or audits by any federal, state or local taxing authority except for any assessment which is not material to the Company. All taxes and other assessments and levies that the Company is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been duly withheld and collected and paid to the proper governmental entity or third party when due, other than taxes being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been made on the Company’s financial statements included in the SEC Documents, except where the failure to so withhold, collect or pay has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no tax liens or claims pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its assets or property. Except as described in the SEC Documents, there are no outstanding tax sharing agreements or other such arrangements between the Company or other corporation or entity.

2.2.20 Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company has good and marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by it, in each case free from liens, encumbrances and defects that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or currently planned to be made thereof by them; and except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company holds any leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that would materially interfere with the use made or currently planned to be made thereof by them, except where such exceptions have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.2.21 All Intellectual Property of the Company is currently in compliance in all material respects with all legal requirements (including timely filings, proofs and payments of fees) and is valid and enforceable, except where such failure has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, no Intellectual Property of the Company which is necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted is now involved in any cancellation, dispute or litigation, and no such action is threatened. To the Company’s knowledge, no patent of the Company has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or opposition proceeding. For purposes of this Section 2.2.21, “Intellectual Property” means, unless the context provides otherwise, all of the Company’s (a) patents, patent applications, patent disclosures and inventions (whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice); (b) trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, corporate names, logos, slogans and Internet domain names, together with all goodwill associated with each of the foregoing; (c) copyrights and copyrightable works; (d) registrations, applications and renewals for any of the foregoing; and (e) proprietary computer software (including but not limited to data, data bases and documentation).

All of the licenses and sublicenses and consent, royalty or other agreements concerning Intellectual Property which are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted to which the Company is a party or by which any of its assets are bound (other than generally commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf software application programs having a retail acquisition price of less than $10,000 per license) (collectively, “License Agreements”) are valid and binding obligations of the Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there exists no event or condition which will result in a violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default by the Company under any such License Agreement, except for such violations, breaches and defaults as have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.

To the Company’s knowledge, the Company owns or has the valid right to use all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary for the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted and for the ownership, maintenance and operation of the Company’s properties and assets, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, adverse claims or obligations to license all such owned Intellectual Property, other than licenses entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, except for such liens, encumbrances, adverse claims or obligations as have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has a valid and enforceable right to use all third party Intellectual Property used or held for use in the business of the Company.

To the Company’s knowledge, the conduct of the Company’s business as currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise impair or conflict with in any material respect (collectively, “Infringe”) any Intellectual Property rights of any third party or any confidentiality obligation owed to a third party, and, to the Company’s knowledge, the Intellectual Property of the Company which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted is not being Infringed by any third party. There is no litigation or order pending or outstanding or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Intellectual Property of the Company and the Company’s use of any Intellectual Property owned by a third party, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.

4. Transfer Restrictions.

4.1 The Shares may only be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) or pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or

a transfer to the Company, as applicable or to one or more Subscriber Affiliates or to a lender to Subscriber pursuant to a pledge and, thereafter, a transferee thereof pursuant to a foreclosure, of Subscriber, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares, under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement such transferee and each Subscriber Affiliate transferee and each lender transferee and their subsequent transferees shall have the rights and obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement.

4.2 Subscriber agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4, of a legend on any of the Shares in the following form:

THE SECURITY REPRESENTED HEREBY HAS 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 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE OFFERED, TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS.

4.3 Subject to applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the interpretations of the Commission thereunder and any requirements of the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall ensure that instruments, whether certificated or uncertificated, evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.2), (a) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (b) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (c) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, and in each case, Subscriber provides the Company with an undertaking to effect any sales or other transfers in accordance with the Securities Act, or (d) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) (the earliest of such dates, the “Effective Date”).

4.4 Subscriber agrees with the Company that Subscriber will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from instruments representing Shares is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

5. Registration.

5.1 The Company agrees that, within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that the Company shall have the Registration Statement declared effective within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for, provided that such extension shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days. The Company shall provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission (the “Filing Date”), and Subscriber shall provide any comments on the Registration Statement to the Company no later than the day immediately preceding the Filing Date. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement; provided, that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable holders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling holder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling holders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file one or more new Registration Statement(s) (such amendment or new Registration Statement shall also be deemed to be “Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Shares and cause such amendment or Registration Statement(s) to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement (the “Additional Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that the Company shall have such Registration Statement declared effective within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for, provided that such extension shall not exceed sixty (60) calendar days. Any failure by the Company to file a Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline or Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect a Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 5. A “Business Day” shall be defined as a day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

5.2 The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, including to prepare and file any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus such that the prospectus will not include any untrue statement or a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, until the earlier of (i) two (2) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, and (ii) the date on which all of the Shares shall have been sold and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. For so long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, qualify the Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock are then listed, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) for so long as Subscriber holds the Shares, make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements to enable Subscriber to resell the Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Shares and, at the request of a Holder, cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Shares held by such Holder that may be sold by such Holder without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (iii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (ii) upon the receipt of such supporting documentation, if any, as reasonably requested by such counsel. “Holder” shall mean Subscriber or person to which the rights under this Section 5 shall have been assigned pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist the Company in making the determination described above.

5.3 The Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company a completed selling holder questionnaire in customary form that contains such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling holder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided, that the Company shall request such information from Subscriber, including the selling holder questionnaire, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement. For the avoidance of

doubt, Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of the Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines in good faith that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would reasonably be expected to require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that (w) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

5.4 Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) of the happening of (a) an issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such event, (b) any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such Suspension Event, or (c) or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (w) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

5.5 For purposes of this Section 5, (i) “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement, and (ii) “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 5 shall have been duly assigned pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

5.6 Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth herein, if the Commission informs the Company that the resale of all of the Shares as a secondary offering cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the holders of the Shares thereof and use its reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of the Shares permitted to be registered by the Commission. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Subscription Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of the Shares permitted to be registered on the Registration Statement, the number of the Shares to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders whose securities are included in such Registration Statement. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the applicable holder of the Shares a at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such holder’s allotment. In the event the Company amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Shares that were not otherwise registered. “SEC Guidance” means (a) any publicly-available written or oral guidance of the Commission staff, or any comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff and (b) the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.7 Furnishing of Information; Public Information.

6.12 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

6.17 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Subscription Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

6.18 Reserved.

6.19 Listing of Shares and Related Matters. Promptly following the date of this Subscription Agreement, and as provided for herein, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed on the NYSE. Further, if the Company applies to have its Common Stock or other securities traded on any other principal stock exchange or market, it shall include in such application the Shares and will take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to cause such Common Stock to be so listed. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the NYSE and, in accordance, therewith, will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such market or exchange, as applicable.
