g.At the time the Registration Statement was originally declared effective, and at the time the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the Commission after the original effective date of the Registration Statement (if applicable), the Company met the then-applicable requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Act, including, but not limited to, General Instruction I.B.1. of Form S-3.

No other financial statements or schedules (historical or pro forma) are required by the Act, the Exchange Act, the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations or the Rules and Regulations to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

So long as delivery of the Prospectus relating to any Placement Shares may be required to be delivered by the Sales Agent or any dealer under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations or any similar rule), the Company will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Act, as from time to time in force, and to file on or before their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act.

c.The Company will furnish to the Sales Agent, without charge, written and electronic copies of each of the Registration Statement and of any pre- or post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits thereto, the Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus Supplement, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto that are filed with the Commission during any period that a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Act, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as the Sales Agent may from time to time reasonably request and, at the Sales Agent’s request, will also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Placement Shares may be made; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to the Sales Agent to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.

d.The Company will use its best efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

e.So long as delivery of the Prospectus relating to any Placement Shares may be required to be delivered by the Sales Agent or any dealer under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations or any similar rule), the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the Sales Agent’s request, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that, in the Sales Agent’s

reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Placement Shares by the Sales Agent (provided, however, that the failure of the Sales Agent to make such request shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Sales Agent’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement). The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by the Sales Agent and by all dealers to whom the Placement Shares may be sold, both in connection with the offering or sale of the Placement Shares and for any period of time thereafter during which the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection therewith. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company or counsel to the Sales Agent should be set forth in the Prospectus in order to make any statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to supplement or amend the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will notify the Sales Agent to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will forthwith prepare and duly file with the Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and will deliver to the Sales Agent, without charge, such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Prospectus as the Sales Agent may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Sales Agent and, if requested by the Sales Agent, will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

f.The Company will use its reasonable best efforts and cooperate with the Sales Agent in connection with the registration or qualification of the Placement Shares for offer and sale under the state or foreign securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Sales Agent may request and to maintain such registration or qualification in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement); provided, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business or as a dealer of securities in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign corporation. In each applicable jurisdiction, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such registration or qualification in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement).

g.The Company will, so long as required under the Rules and Regulations, furnish to its stockholders as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year an annual report (including a balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, certified by independent public accountants) and, as soon as practicable after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date), consolidated summary financial information of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, for such quarter in reasonable detail.

h.The Company will make generally available to holders of its securities as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earning statement covering a period of 12 months that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act (including Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations).

i.Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or reimburse if paid by the Sales Agent all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to costs and expenses of or relating to (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement and exhibits to it, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, including any fees required by the Commission in connection

therewith, (ii) the preparation and delivery of certificates, if any, representing the Placement Shares, including any stock or other transfer taxes and any capital duties, stamp duties or other duties or taxes payable upon the sale, issuance or delivery of the Placement Shares to the Sales Agent, (iii) furnishing (including costs of shipping and mailing) such copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, as may be requested by the Sales Agent for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares, (iv) the listing of the Placement Shares on the Exchange, (v) any filings required to be made in connection with clearance of the offering of the Placement Shares with FINRA (including the reasonable, documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Sales Agent in connection therewith), (vi) the registration or qualification of the Placement Shares for offer and sale under state or foreign securities or Blue Sky laws and the preparation, printing and distribution of any Blue Sky memoranda (including the reasonable, documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Sales Agent in connection therewith), (vii) fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Company and of the Accountants, (viii) the transfer agent for the Placement Shares and (ix) all other reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Sales Agent incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder not otherwise specifically provided for herein, including the reasonable, document fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Sales Agent (in addition to those set forth in clauses (v) and (vi)); provided, however, that in no event under clauses (v), (vi) and (ix) shall the Company be required to pay or reimburse any reasonable, documented Sales Agent costs and expenses (including the reasonable, documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Sales Agent) in excess of $75,000 in connection with the establishment of the ATM Program and $10,000 for each periodic update of the ATM Program.

j.The Company will not at any time, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, or that will constitute, stabilization of the price of the shares of Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Placement Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase Common Stock in violation of Regulation M, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than the Sales Agent.

k.The Company will conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will be or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

l.The Company will use the Net Proceeds in the manner set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds.”

m.The Company and the Subsidiaries will maintain and keep accurate books and records reflecting their assets and maintain internal accounting controls in a manner designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and including those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (iii)  receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with management’s and the Company’s directors’ authorization and (iv) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements. The Company and the Subsidiaries will maintain such controls and other procedures, including, without limitation, those required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the applicable regulations thereunder that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to ensure that

material information relating to the Company or the Subsidiaries is made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which such periodic reports are being prepared.

n.Without the prior written consent of the Sales Agent, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the fifth Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to Sales Agent hereunder and ending on the fifth Trading Day immediately following the final Settlement Date with respect to Placement Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice (or, if the Placement Notice has been terminated or suspended prior to the sale of all Placement Shares covered by a Placement Notice, the date of such suspension or termination); and will not directly or indirectly in any other “at the market offering” or continuous equity transaction offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to this Agreement or as contemplated by Section 1(a) of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, shares of Common Stock prior to the later of the termination of this Agreement and the sixtieth day immediately following the final Settlement Date with respect to Placement Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice; provided, however, that such restrictions will not be required in connection with the Company’s (i) issuance, sale or grant of shares of Common Stock, equity awards or rights, or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or settlement of equity awards or rights, pursuant to any employee or director equity incentive, stock purchase or benefits plan, stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan (but not shares Common Stock subject to a waiver to exceed plan limits in its dividend reinvestment plan) of the Company whether now in effect or hereafter implemented or pursuant to any inducement award in accordance with Exchange rules, (ii) issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of securities or the exercise or redemption of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding, and disclosed in filings by the Company available on EDGAR or otherwise in writing to the Sales Agent; (iii) issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, exchangeable or redeemable for shares of Common Stock as consideration for mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations, joint ventures, collaborations, licensing arrangements or strategic alliances occurring after the date of this Agreement which are not issued for capital raising purposes; (v) modification of any outstanding equity awards, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock; (vi) issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into, exercisable for or redeemable for shares of Common Stock, offered and sold in a privately negotiated transaction to vendors, customers, strategic partners or potential strategic partners conducted in a manner so as not to be integrated with the offering of the Placement Shares hereby and which are not issued for capital raising purposes and (vii) for the avoidance of doubt, non-public discussions or negotiations with respect to any of the foregoing.

o.Prior to the date of the first Placement Notice, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the Exchange.

p.The Company will, at any time during the pendency of a Placement Notice, advise the Sales Agent promptly after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document required to be provided to the Sales Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

q.During the term of this Agreement, the Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Sales Agent, its representatives and its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as the Sales Agent may reasonably request.

r.The Company agrees that on or prior to such dates as the Act shall require, the Company will (i) file a prospectus supplement with the Commission under the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b), which prospectus supplement will set forth, within the relevant period, the number or amount of

Placement Shares sold through the Sales Agent, the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Sales Agent with respect to such Placement Shares, and (ii) deliver such number of copies of each such prospectus supplement to each exchange or market on which such sales were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market; provided, that, unless a prospectus supplement containing such information is required to be filed under the Act, the requirement of this Section 7(r) may be satisfied by Company’s inclusion in the Company’s Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as applicable, of the number or amount of Placement Shares sold through the Sales Agent, the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation payable by the Company to the Sales Agent with respect to such Placement Shares during the relevant period.

s.Prior to the date on which the Company first delivers a Placement Notice and each time the Company:

(i)files the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or amends or supplements (other than a prospectus supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Placement Shares) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker or supplement but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares;

(ii)files an annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act (including any Form 10-K/A containing amended financial information or a material amendment to the previously filed Form 10-K);

(iii)files a quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; or

(iv)files a current report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than information “furnished” pursuant to Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K) under the Exchange Act (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) shall be a “Representation Date”),

the Company shall furnish the Sales Agent (but in the case of clause (iv) above only if the Sales Agent reasonably determines that the information contained in such Form 8-K is material at a time when a Placement Notice is pending or in effect and the Sales Agent requests a certificate within three Trading Days of the Company’s filing of such Form 8-K) with a certificate, in the form attached hereto, dated the Representation Date, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 7(s) shall be waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time a Suspension is in effect, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date on which the Company delivers instructions for the sale of Placement Shares hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when a Suspension was in effect and did not provide the Sales Agent with a certificate under this Section 7(s), then before the Company delivers the instructions for the sale of Placement Shares or the Sales Agent sells any Placement Shares pursuant to such instructions, the Company shall provide the Sales Agent with a certificate in conformity with this Section 7(s) dated as of the date that the instructions for the sale of Placement Shares are issued.

t.Prior to the date of the first Placement Notice and within five Trading Days of each Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(s) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Sales Agent a written opinion and negative assurance letter of Fenwick & West LLP (“Company Counsel”), or other counsel satisfactory to the Sales Agent, and a written opinion of intellectual property counsel to the Company satisfactory to the Sales Agent (“IP Counsel”), each in form and substance satisfactory to Sales Agent and its counsel, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion or negative assurance letter for subsequent Representation Dates, Company Counsel and IP Counsel may furnish the Sales Agent with a letter (a “Reliance Letter”) to the effect that the Sales Agent may rely on a prior opinion

delivered under this Section 7(t) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion or negative assurance letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented as of the date of the Reliance Letter); provided, further, that the Company shall be required to furnish no more than one opinion or negative assurance letter (or Reliance Letter) hereunder per calendar quarter.

u.Prior to the date of the first Placement Notice and within five Trading Days of each Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(s) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause the Accountant to furnish the Sales Agent letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date the Comfort Letter is delivered, which shall meet the requirements set forth in this Section 7(u); provided, that if requested by the Sales Agent, the Company shall cause a Comfort Letter to be furnished to the Sales Agent within 10 Trading Days of the date of occurrence of any material transaction or event, including the restatement of the Company’s financial statements; provided, further, that any such Comfort Letter in connection with a material transaction or event will only be required to the extent that the Company’s filing with respect thereto includes financial statements filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus. The Comfort Letter shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Sales Agent, (i) confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Act and the PCAOB, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter. The Company shall be required to furnish no more than one Comfort Letter hereunder per calendar quarter.

v.The Company will promptly notify the Sales Agent if the Company ceases to be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Act, at any time during the term of this Agreement.

w.If, immediately prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Date”), any of the Placement Shares remain unsold and this Agreement has not been terminated, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Date, file a new shelf registration statement or, if applicable, an automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Common Stock that may be offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement (which shall include a prospectus reflecting the number or amount of Placement Shares that may be offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement), in a form satisfactory to the Sales Agent and its counsel, and, if such registration statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement, will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Date. The Company will take all other reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit the public offer and sale of the Placement Shares to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement and this Agreement. From and after the effective date thereof, references herein to the “Registration Statement” shall include such new shelf registration statement or such new automatic shelf registration statement, as the case may be.

x.If, from and after the date of this Agreement, the Company is no longer eligible to use Form S-3 (including pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6.) at the time it files with the Commission an annual report on Form 10-K or any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, then it shall promptly notify the Sales Agent and, within two Business Days after the date of filing of such annual report on Form 10-K or amendment to the Registration Statement, the Company shall file a new prospectus supplement with the Commission reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock available to be offered and sold by the Company under this Agreement pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3; provided, however, that the Company may delay the filing of any such prospectus supplement for up to 30 days if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, it is in the best interest of the Company to do so, provided that no Placement Notice is in effect or pending during such time. Until such time as the Company shall have corrected such misstatement or omission or effected such compliance, the Company shall not notify the Sales Agent to resume the offering of Placement Shares.

y.The Company represents and agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Sales Agent, and the Sales Agent represents and agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company, it (including its agents and representatives, other than the Sales Agent in its capacity as such) has not made and will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder or otherwise make any offer relating to the Placement Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405), required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Sales Agent, as the case may be, is herein called a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and that it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Rules and Regulations applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission, where required, recordkeeping and legending. For the purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that all free writing prospectuses, if any, listed in Schedule 4 hereto are Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses.

8.Conditions of the Obligations of the Sales Agent.

The obligations of the Sales Agent hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, to the completion by the Sales Agent of a due diligence review satisfactory to the Sales Agent, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by the Sales Agent in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

a.The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Sales Agent, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Sales Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any and all investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred and documented in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, or the omission or alleged omission to state in such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which they were made; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from the sale of the Placement Shares to any person by the Sales Agent. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

b.The Sales Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to Sales Agent, as set forth in Section 9(a), but only insofar as losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with the Sales Agent Information. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability that the Sales Agent might otherwise have.

c.Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 9 shall, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 9, notify each such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, enclosing with such notice a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the loss of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable, documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (plus local counsel) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party. An indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

d.If an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable, documented fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by this Section 9 effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

e.If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under this Section 9 in respect of any losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the Sales

Agent, such as persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Act, officers of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and directors of the Company, who also may be liable for contribution) by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Sales Agent from the sale of the Placement Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Sales Agent, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Sales Agent, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Sales Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(e) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 9(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 9(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred and documented by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(e), the Sales Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9(e), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against any such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 9(e), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify will not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 9(e). No party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

f.The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Sales Agent, (ii) acceptance of any of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

10.Reimbursement of Certain Expenses.

In addition to its other obligations under Section 9(a) of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Sales Agent on a quarterly basis for all reasonable, documented legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out of or based upon, in whole or in part, any statement or omission or alleged statement or omission, all as described in Section 9(a), notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the obligations under this Section 10 and the possibility that such payment might later be held to be improper; provided, however, that, to the extent any such payment is ultimately held to be improper, the persons receiving such payments shall promptly refund them.

11.Termination.

a.The obligations of the Sales Agent under this Agreement may be terminated and the Sales Agent may terminate this Agreement at any time, by notice to the Company from the Sales Agent, without liability on the part of the Sales Agent to the Company if, in the sole judgment of the Sales Agent, (i) there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Effect, any Material Adverse Change or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or a Material Adverse Change, (ii) trading in any of the equity securities of the Company shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the Exchange or trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) trading in securities generally on the Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on the Exchange, or material governmental restrictions shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by the Exchange, by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority or by the Exchange, (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities or any material disruption of the securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, or (v) any material adverse change in the financial or securities markets in the United States or elsewhere or in political, financial or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities, a declaration of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, shall have occurred, the effect of which is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Sales Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to sell the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11(a), neither party shall have any liability to the other party, except that Sections 7(i), 9, 10 and 13 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If the Sales Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 11(a), the Sales Agent shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 13.

b.The Company shall have the right, by giving five days’ prior notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 7(i), 9, 10 and 13 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

c.The Sales Agent shall have the right, by giving five days’ prior notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 7(i), 9, 10 and 13 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

d.This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b), or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 7(i), 9, 10 and 13 hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

e.Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Sales Agent or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

12.No Fiduciary Relationship.

Notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Sales Agent, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the offering and sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Sales Agent,(b) the Sales Agent is acting solely as agent in connection with the public offering of the Placement Shares and in connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and the Sales Agent has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the

Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Sales Agent has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (c) the Sales Agent and its affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Sales Agent has no obligation to disclose or account to the Company for any of such differing interests, and (d) the Company has consulted its own legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate, is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has not relied upon the Sales Agent or legal counsel for the Sales Agent for any legal, tax, accounting and financial advice in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares.  The Company hereby waives any claim, and agrees that it will not claim, that the Sales Agent or its affiliates have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with the sale of Placement Shares under this Agreement or the process leading thereto. The Company agrees that the Sales Agent and its affiliates shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to it in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on its behalf or in right of it or the Company, employees or creditors of Company.

13.Miscellaneous.
