True and complete copies of the Purchaser’s filings with the SEC are available to the Sellers through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (other than any information for which the Purchaser has received confidential treatment from the SEC). The Purchaser has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other

-11-

documents required to be filed by the Purchaser under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Filings”), for the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof. At the time of filing thereof, the SEC Filings complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act or 1934 Act, as applicable, and, as of their respective dates, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

4.4.Compliance with NASDAQ Continued Listing Requirements. The Purchaser is in compliance with applicable NASDAQ continued listing requirements. There are no proceedings pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser relating to the continued listing of the Purchaser Common Stock on NASDAQ and the Purchaser has not received any notice of, nor, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for, the delisting of the Purchaser Common Stock from NASDAQ.

4.5.No Integrated Offering. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Purchaser security or solicited any offers to buy any Purchaser security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Purchaser on Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act for the exemption from registration for the transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be purchased hereunder under the 1933 Act.

4.6.Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Seller and each of the Specified Brostmeyer Parties set forth in Section 3, the offer and sale of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to the Seller as contemplated hereby is exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. The issuance and sale of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

4.7.Rule 144. The Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and cause the Transfer Agent to reasonably cooperate, with the Seller in connection with the resale of the Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar or analogous replacement rule promulgated under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Purchaser to remain a public reporting company.

5.Miscellaneous.

5.1.Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address of such party set forth on the signature pages hereto or at such other address as such party shall specify by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

-12-

5.2.Section Headings. Section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

5.3.Interpretation. The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “or” shall be deemed to include the term “and” and the singular or plural number shall be deemed to include the other.

5.4.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, in all respects, by the laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of its choice of law rules. Any and all legal proceedings arising hereunder shall be heard and resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party hereto hereby waives any objection it may have to commencement or transfer of any such proceeding to either of said venue and hereby affirmatively consents to the same.

5.5.Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event of any breach of this Agreement and that, as a result, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of a party’s obligations hereunder. Accordingly, the parties expressly agree that, upon any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by any party, the other parties hereto shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, including specific performance, in addition to any available remedies at law, from any court of competent jurisdiction, wherever located, without the requirement of posting a bond.

5.6.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, executors, and administrators of each party hereto, and inures to the benefit of each party hereto, and its agents, directors, officers, employees, heirs, successors and assigns.

5.7.Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all the parties hereto.

5.8.Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, each such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

5.9.Entire Agreement. The terms of this Agreement are intended by the parties hereto to be the final and exclusive expression of their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement, any and all of which are superseded hereby. The parties further intend that this Agreement, together with the Other Agreements, shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any

-13-

judicial, administrative or other legal proceeding involving this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that it was not relying on any representations of the other party hereto that were not contained in this Agreement and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of the Other Agreements shall continue in full force and effect, in accordance with its respective terms. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Other Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

5.10.Confidentiality of Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall be kept confidential by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement may be disclosed if such disclosure is required: (a) in response to an order or subpoena of a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, in which event immediate written notice shall be given to each of the other parties hereto; (b) in response to an inquiry or order issued by a state or federal agency of competent jurisdiction, in which event immediate written notice shall be given to each of the other parties hereto; (c) to the parties’ respective legal, tax and financial advisors, (d) to the extent necessary to report to appropriate regulatory authorities, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market, and in other related dealings with regulatory authorities; (e) to the extent necessary to report income to appropriate taxing authorities and in other related dealings with taxing authorities; or (f) in connection with any litigation between any of the parties hereto regarding enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement.

5.11.Fees & Expenses. The parties hereto agree to bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees and related expenses associated with this Agreement.

5.14.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of the signature page to this Agreement by email, facsimile, portable document format (pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 (including DocuSign) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
