The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had access to information regarding the Company through the EDGAR system of the SEC, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act, since the filing of such Form 10-K and prior to the date hereof.

The Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares, except in compliance with the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

3.4 Registration or Exemption Requirements.

(e) The Company shall notify the Purchaser, if the Purchaser has registered Shares in the Registration Statement which remain unsold, and (if requested by the Purchaser) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information relating to the Registration Statement, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event which

4

makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any 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 not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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, and (vi) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(f) The Company may, upon written notice to the Purchaser of (i) the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.1(e)(ii), 4.1(e)(iii), 4.1(e)(iv), 4.1(e)(v) or 4.1(e)(vi) hereof or (ii) that, in the judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, it is advisable to suspend use of the prospectus for a discrete period of time due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or similar events, discontinue disposition of Shares covered by the Registration Statement or prospectus until copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4.1(h) hereof are distributed to the Purchaser, or until the Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and the Purchaser has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus. The Company shall not suspend use of a prospectus or Registration Statement under this Section 4.1(f) for more than 45 days at a time and more than twice in any 12-month period. Any period for which use of a prospectus or Registration Statement is suspended under this Section 4.1(f) shall be added to the time for which the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof, under Section 4.1(c).

(g) The Company shall use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest possible moment.

(h) The Company shall, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.1(e)(v) or 4.1(e)(vi) above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(i) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 4.1 with respect to the registration of the Shares that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding itself, the shares of Common Stock held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such Shares as is reasonably required to effect the registration of the Purchaser’s Shares.

4.2 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which the Purchaser may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any

5

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus (preliminary or final), as amended on the applicable date thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement or any prospectus (preliminary or final), as amended on the applicable date thereof, and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse the Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or an omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, or (ii) any untrue statement or the omission of a material fact in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which the Company may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in such Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable in any such case for any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission that has been corrected, in writing, by the Purchaser, delivered to the Company before the sale from which such loss occurred, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or the omission or alleged omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will, as incurred, reimburse the Company for ally legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Purchaser’s indemnification obligation shall be limited to the net proceeds received from its sale of the Shares.

(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 4.2, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and the indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of the indemnifying person’s election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person.

6

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.2 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as the result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4.2(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 4.2(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.2(d), the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Shares to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Purchaser under this Section 4.2 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and the Purchaser and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act.

SECTION 5. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF SHARES;

COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT

5.1 Restrictions on Transferability. The Shares shall not be transferable in the absence of a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom or in the absence of compliance with any term of this Agreement.

NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

7

5.3 Compliance With Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell securities of the Company without registration, until such time as when the Purchaser no longer holds any Shares, the Company covenants that it will file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchaser to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall take such action as reasonably necessary to cooperate in any sale of any Shares by the Purchaser in accordance with Rule 144, including arranging for any instructions or legal opinions in an appropriate form under Rule 144 to the Company’s stock transfer agent and removing any legends or stop transfer instructions under the Securities Act as to any Shares which are eligible for sale in accordance with Rule 144(b)(1).
