The Initial Registration Statement shall become immediately effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act for a period of three years from the date of effectiveness in order to permit the prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the Investor until the date as of which there are no Registrable Securities outstanding. The Initial Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference), at the time of effectiveness, will comply in all material respects as to form with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Upon request, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge, at least one copy of the Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and, if the Investor so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto.

(b)(i) If the Company shall not be eligible to file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement at the time of the Closing or (ii) otherwise, at any time, there shall not be an effective Shelf Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities and available for resales thereof by the Investor and any Permitted Holders (other than any such unavailability due to (x) a suspension pursuant to Section 4 or (y) a suspension due to Investor’s failure to provide

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for any inability to use an Alternative Registration Statement or participate in any such registration in the manner contemplated by this Agreement if such use or participation would not be permitted by the applicable form or if the Company’s auditors are unable to provide consent in connection with such Alternative Registration Statement for any reason (following the Company’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent). Following the filing of an Alternative Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Alternative Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable, but, in any event, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline. The Alternative Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference), at the time of the filing and at the time of effectiveness thereof, will comply in all material respects as to form with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Alternative Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (1) the date on which the Investor notifies the Company in writing that the Registrable Securities included in such Alternative Registration Statement have been sold or the offering therefor has been terminated or (2) (x) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing, if the Company is a WKSI and filed an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in satisfaction of such demand, (y) forty (40) Business Days following the date on which such Alternative Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, if the Company is not a WKSI and registered for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 in satisfaction of such demand or (z) fifty (50) Business Days following the date on which such Alternative Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, if the Company is neither a WKSI nor then eligible to use Form S-3 and registered for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or other applicable form in satisfaction of such demand; provided that each period specified in clause (2) of this sentence shall be extended automatically by one (1) Business Day for each Business Day that the use of such registration statement or prospectus is suspended by the Company pursuant to any Suspension Period, pursuant to Section 4. Upon request, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge, at least one copy of the Alternative Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, and, if the Investor so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto. The right to require the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to file pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be exercisable by the Investor on two occasions, but the second exercise shall not be valid if the Company would be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration

statement less than 180 days after the effectiveness of the first registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 2(b).

(c)Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, all Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Investor in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities for which registration was requested.

(v)enter customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities, including, if the method of distribution of Registrable Securities is by means of an underwritten offering, using commercially reasonable efforts to (A) participate in and make documents available for the reasonable and customary due diligence review of underwriters during normal business hours, on reasonable advance notice and without undue burden or hardship on the Company; provided that (x) any party receiving confidential materials shall execute a confidentiality agreement on customary terms if reasonably requested by the Company and (y) the Company may in its reasonable discretion restrict access to competitively sensitive or legally privileged documents or information, (B) cause appropriate members of senior management of the Company to be available at reasonable dates and times to participate in “road show” presentations and/or investor conference calls to market the Registrable Securities during normal business hours, on reasonable advance notice and without undue burden or hardship on the Company; provided that the aggregate number of days of “road show” presentations in connection with an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities for each registration pursuant to a demand made under Section 2 shall not exceed three (3) Business Days and (C) negotiate and execute an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering and such other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using commercially reasonable efforts to procure a customary legal opinion and auditor “comfort” letters (which commercially reasonable efforts shall in no event include the preparation of any financial statements or other information that the Company is not required by SEC regulations or other applicable Law to produce); provided that in no event shall the Company or any of its officers and directors be obligated to enter into any lock-up or other restriction on sales or other dispositions of any equity or derivative securities.

Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (A) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Inspector’s judgment (after consultation with legal counsel), to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement, (B) the release of such records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after compliance with the last sentence of this Section 3(a)(vi) or (C) the information in such records was known to the Inspectors on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or has been made generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure by the Inspectors in violation hereof).

In connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the registration statement cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the registration statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the registration statement; and

(ix)subject to the provisions of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions, and do and cause to be done all other things, necessary or reasonably advisable in the reasonable opinion of the Investor to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

(b)In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall give notice to the Investor as promptly as reasonably practicable:

(ii)of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2 (or any information incorporated by reference in, or exhibits to, such registration statement) or the prospectus (including information incorporated by reference in such prospectus) included in such registration statement or for additional information;

(iii)of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2 or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(iv)of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(v)of the occurrence of any event that requires the Company to make changes to any effective registration statement or the prospectus so that, as of such date, they (A) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (B) do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(c)The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in Section 3(b)(iii) at the earliest practicable time.

(d)Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Sections 3(b)(iii) through 3(b)(v) above, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or an amendment or supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document to remedy the basis for any suspension of the registration statement and so that the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Investor in accordance with Sections 3(b)(iii) through 3(b)(v) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Investor (and any Permitted Holder) shall suspend the use of such prospectus and use its reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in its or its representatives’ possession.

The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2, to the extent required by the registration form used by the Company pursuant to Section 2 or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder and promptly notify the Investor thereof.

(b)Upon receipt of written notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3(d), the Investor (and any participating Permitted Holder) shall immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until the Investor (and any such Permitted Holder) (i) has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement or (ii) is advised in

writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor (and any such Permitted Holder) shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in its possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Indemnification

(a)Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and any Permitted Holder and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, members, stockholders, representatives and Affiliates, and each person or entity, if any, that controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, employees, agents and employees of each such controlling Person (each, an “Investor Indemnitee”), against any and all Damages; provided that the Company shall not be liable to such Investor Indemnitee for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor Indemnitee expressly for use in connection with such registration, (ii) offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Investor Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Securities Act Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (iii) the failure to deliver or make available to a purchaser of Registrable Securities a copy of any preliminary prospectus, pricing information or final prospectus contained in the applicable registration statement or any amendments or supplements thereto (to the extent the same is required by applicable Law to be delivered or made available to such purchaser at the time of sale of contract); provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Investor and any Participating Holder such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the applicable registration statement and any amendments or supplements thereto pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii) no later than the time of contract of sale in accordance with Rule 159 under the Securities Act.

(b)The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates against any and all Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor or any Permitted Holder expressly for use in connection with a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2. In no event shall the liability of the Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the aggregate dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor and any Permitted Holders upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the Investor or any Permitted Holders.

(c)If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense in such proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and

expenses incurred in connection with such defense; provided that any such notice or other communication pursuant to this Section 5 between the Company and an Indemnifying Party or an Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall be delivered to or by, as the case may be, the Investor; provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Section 5, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that representation of both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate because of an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless (x) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party or (y) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5).

(d)If the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b), as the case may be, or is insufficient to hold the Indemnified Party harmless as contemplated therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is

appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of the Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by the Investor. No Indemnified Party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from an Indemnifying Party not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Obligations of the Investor

(a)If reasonably requested by the Company, the Investor agrees to furnish information regarding the Investor and any participating Permitted Holder as may be reasonably required by the Company in connection with the filing of a registration statement and the completion of any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement. If (i) the Investor fails to provide the requested information after prior written notice of such request and (ii) the requested information is required by applicable Law to be included in a registration statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2, the obligations of the Company to file such registration statement shall be suspended until the Investor provides the requested information.

(b)The Investor shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the Company, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or deemed delivered) under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event, of which the Investor has knowledge, relating to the Investor or its sale of Registrable Securities thereunder requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered (or deemed delivered) to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 are made, not misleading.

(c)Subject to compliance by the Company with Section 6(d) below, upon receipt of a Shelf Suspension Notice, the Investor (i) shall treat such Shelf Suspension Notice as confidential information, (ii) shall not trade in Common Stock until notice of the termination of such Self Suspension pursuant to Section 4(a) and (iii) shall not disclose receipt of such Shelf Suspension Notice; provided, that the Investor may disclose receipt of such Self Suspension Notice if required by Law or legal process, but the Investor shall cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) to limit the extent of such disclosure through protective

order or otherwise, and to seek confidential treatment of the information. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6(c) shall be deemed to extend the maximum allowable period for Shelf Suspension set forth in Section 4(a)

(d)Following the six-month anniversary of the Closing, (i) the Investor and the Permitted Holders shall not resell Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) unless the Investor delivers prior written notice (a “Sale Notice”) to the Company that it or they intend to resell Registrable Securities, in which case the Investor and the Permitted Holders shall be entitled to resell Registrable Securities for a thirty (30)-day period following delivery of the Sale Notice and (ii) the Company shall not deliver a Shelf Suspension Notice to the Investor, except during the thirty (30)-day period following receipt of a Sale Notice.

Rule 144 Reporting

. With a view to making available to the Investor and the Permitted Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities that are Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) make and keep available public information necessary to comply with Rule 144 at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Investor to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time (“Rule 144”), or any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC; (b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act and (c) so long as the Investor or any Permitted Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Investor upon reasonable request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Exchange Act. Within one (1) Business Day after receipt of a written request from the Investor, the Company shall inform the Investor in writing of the first date on or after the date of such request as of which the Company’s officers and directors are permitted to trade in securities of the Company pursuant to internal policies established and consistently maintained by the Company; provided that if such request is received by the Company either (x) during the course of a Shelf Suspension or (y) at a time when the Company could deliver a Shelf Suspension Notice in accordance with Section 4(a), the Company may inform the Investor of such date within (1) Business Day after the termination of such Shelf Suspension and provided, further that the Company shall not be required to respond to any such request on more than one occasion unless the Company thereafter delivers a Shelf Suspension Notice, in which case the Investor shall have the right to make (and the Company shall respond to) one additional request following each delivery of a Shelf Suspension Notice.

Termination

. Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Investor, (b) the later of (i) date on which the Investor and the Permitted Holders no longer hold any Registrable Securities and (ii) the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following the first day on which there is no longer any Escrow Equity held in the Escrow Accounts (which thirty (30) Business Day period shall automatically be extended by one Business Day for each Business Day (x) on which any Escrow Equity released to the Investor is not Freely Tradeable in the hands of the Investor or (y) on which there is no registration statement effective and available

for use by the Investor and the Permitted Holders (including any such unavailability due to a Shelf Suspension)) and (c) three years after the date of this Agreement; provided that the parties’ obligations under ‎Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Miscellaneous

(a)No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that, except for any agreements that are included as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018, it has not entered into any agreement with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates or is otherwise inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investor under this Agreement, and agrees that it will not enter into during the term of this Agreement any agreement with respect to its securities that violates or subordinates the rights granted to the Investor under this Agreement.

The parties hereby (i) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party, (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the sale may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts, (iii) agree to not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the Delaware Courts and (iv) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 9(g).

(c)Waiver of Jury Trial.

NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR RELATED INSTRUMENTS.

NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS Section 9(c) WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

(d)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of parties under this Agreement shall not be assignable to any Person without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may be conditioned on such assignee or successor entering into an executed joinder agreement to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Joinder Agreement”).

(e)No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
