Section 4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo represents and warrants to the Company, each only with respect to itself and not with respect to the other representing party, that, as of the date of this Agreement:

4.1 Organization and Qualification. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with the requisite power and authority to own, lease, operate and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Purchaser nor HoldCo is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its Organizational Documents. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except, in each case, where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s or HoldCo’s ability to perform its obligations under any Transaction Document (a “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect”).

4.2 Authorization; Enforcement. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo has the requisite power and authority to enter this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each such Transaction Document and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each other applicable Transaction Document by the Purchaser and HoldCo and the consummation by such party of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Purchaser and HoldCo (as applicable) and no stockholder approval or other proceedings on the part of the Purchaser or HoldCo are necessary to authorize this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Purchaser or HoldCo is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by such party, and when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Purchaser and HoldCo of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the such party of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and will not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such party or its Subsidiaries, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of such party or its Subsidiaries pursuant to, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or

both) of, any Contract to which such party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or asset of such party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected or (c) subject to obtaining the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any Law to which the such party or any of its Affiliates is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of such party or any of its Affiliates is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c), for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Purchaser nor HoldCo is required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, other than such filings and registrations as are required to be made under applicable federal and state securities laws.

4.5 Own Account. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo is acquiring the Shares and the Warrants (as applicable) as principal for its own account for investment only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the Shares or Warrants or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of the Shares or the Warrants and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other Persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of any of the Shares or the Warrants.

4.6 Purchaser and HoldCo Status. At the time the Purchaser and HoldCo were offered the Shares and the Warrants (as applicable), each such party was, and as of the date of this Agreement each such party is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated under the Securities Act. None of the Purchaser, HoldCo or any of their respective Affiliates is, nor at any time during the last three years has been, an “interested stockholder” of the Company (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL).

4.7 Experience of the Purchaser and HoldCo. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares and the Warrants, as applicable, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo has had the opportunity to review the SEC Reports and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning the Company and the Shares and the Warrants, as applicable. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of such party’s investment. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo understands that the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Common Stock. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

4.8 Sufficient Funds. As of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser has sufficient funds presently available to deliver the Cash Purchase Price in full and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

4.9 Manipulation of Price.

Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo understands that the Shares and the Warrants (as applicable) are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such party’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser and HoldCo set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser and HoldCo to acquire the Shares and the Warrants, as applicable. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo understands that, until such time as a registration statement has been declared effective or the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, (a) the certificates evidencing the Warrants will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the form set forth in the form of Warrant attached as Exhibit B and (b) the certificates evidencing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER OF SUCH SECURITIES. THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO RECOGNIZE OR GIVE EFFECT TO ANY TRANSFER MADE IN VIOLATION OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS. A COPY OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo understands that no federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.

4.11 Certain Transactions. Since the initial date the Purchaser and HoldCo were contacted by or on behalf of the Company regarding the offering of the Shares by the Company, none of the Purchaser, HoldCo or any of their respective Affiliates, nor any group of Persons of which the Purchaser, HoldCo or any of their respective Affiliates is a member, has established or increased, directly or indirectly, a put equivalent position, as defined in Rule 16(a)-1(h) under the Exchange Act, with respect to the Company’s equity securities. Immediately prior to the entry into this Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor HoldCo is the Beneficial Owner of, or has the right to acquire, any Equity Securities.

Section 5. Additional Agreements.

5.1 Confidentiality.

(a) Confidential Information. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, Recipient agrees that it shall keep confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose and shall not use for any purpose other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement any Confidential Information of Disclosing Party. Recipient may use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only to the extent required to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or the Services Agreement. Recipient shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own (but no less than reasonable care) to ensure that its employees, agents, consultants, contractors and other representatives do not disclose, or use in violation of the terms hereof, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Recipient shall promptly notify Disclosing Party in writing upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party. Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.1 by its respective Affiliates and Representatives and its and their respective employees, directors and officers, and such other Persons to which a Recipient provides Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in accordance with Section 5.1(c)(ii) as if such Persons were a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any disclosure permitted under the Services Agreement, including any such disclosure that includes any Confidential Information.

(b) Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality and restriction on use under Section 5.1(a) shall not apply to any information that Recipient can prove by competent written evidence (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of Recipient, generally known or available to the public, (b) is known by Recipient at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by its records, other than by previous disclosure of Disclosing Party, or its Affiliates or its or their employees, agents, consultants, or contractors, (c) is hereafter furnished to Recipient without restriction by a Third Party who has no obligation of confidentiality or limitations on use with respect thereto, as a matter of right or (d) is independently discovered or developed by Recipient without the use of, or access to, Confidential Information of Disclosing Party.

(c) Authorized Disclosure. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of Disclosing Party to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement, or if and to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(i) complying with applicable orders of courts or other Governmental Authorities, or in connection with Tax matters with Governmental Authorities; and

(ii) disclosure to potential and actual investors, acquirors, licensees and other financial or commercial partners solely for the purpose of evaluating or carrying out an actual or potential investment, acquisition or collaboration, in each case under written obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as stringent as those herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Recipient is required to make a disclosure of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(i), it shall, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance written notice to Disclosing Party of such disclosure and use efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information at least as diligent as Recipient would use to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. In any event, the parties agree to take all reasonable action to avoid disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder. Any information disclosed pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(i) shall remain Confidential Information and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.

(d) Publicity; Public Disclosures. The parties agree to consult with each other reasonably and in good faith with respect to the text and timing of any press releases or announcements relating to this Agreement, which shall be agreed in advance by the parties prior to the issuance thereof; provided that a party may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to such releases by more than five (5) Business Days and that either party may issue press releases or disclosures to the SEC or other applicable Governmental Authorities as it determines, based on advice of counsel, is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable Laws or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange. Each party shall provide the other party with advance written notice of legally required disclosures to the extent practicable; provided that each party shall have the right to make such filings as it reasonably determines necessary under applicable Laws.

(e) Prior Confidentiality Agreement. As of the date hereof, the terms of this Section 5.1 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the confidentiality provisions of the Services Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that a party would suffer upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the parties agree that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.1. In addition to all other remedies, a party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.1.

(g) Survival. The obligations and prohibitions contained in this Section 5.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) years; provided that, with respect to any Confidential Information that qualifies as a trade secret under applicable Laws, such obligations and prohibitions shall survive for so long as such Confidential Information qualifies as a trade secret under applicable Laws.

(h) Material Non-Public Information. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo acknowledges that U.S. securities laws and other laws restrict any person who has material, non-public information concerning a company with publicly traded securities from purchasing or selling any of such securities, and from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

5.2 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) HoldCo covenants and agrees that it shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, at any time prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, (i) offer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer (or enter into an obligation regarding, the future sale, assignment, pledge or transfer of) (a “Transfer”) any interest in any of the Shares or the Warrants (other than in accordance with Section 6.6), (ii) create any Encumbrance over any of the Shares or the Warrants or (iii) enter into any derivative transaction, including any short sales, involving any security of a type referred to in clause (d) of the definition of “Beneficial Ownership” in Section 1.1 or any lending transaction, in either case of such derivative or lending transaction, that would have the same economic impact as a sale of any shares of Common Stock or disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a)(i), the Purchaser or HoldCo (as applicable) at any time (i) may tender the Shares or the Warrants into a tender or exchange offer made by a Third Party to holders of Common Stock generally and recommended by the Board of Directors that, if successful, would result in a Change of Control of a type referred to in clause (c) of the definition thereof with respect to the Company; provided that any Shares or Warrants not so tendered (or not ultimately purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer) will continue to be subject to the restrictions of this Section 5.2 and (ii) may transfer the Shares or Warrants in connection with a transaction that would result in a Change of Control of the type referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof with respect to the Company.

(c) The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.2 and, until the end of the applicable Transfer restriction period or the Transfer of the Shares, the Warrants or Additional Shares in accordance with this Section 5.2, may, if applicable, stamp each certificate evidencing any of the Shares or Additional Shares with the legend set forth in Section 4.10.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2 and Sections 5.11 and 6.6, the holders of the Shares, the Warrants or any Additional Shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Purchaser or HoldCo (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will not be entitled to any of the rights, or be subject to any of the obligations, of the parties set forth in this Agreement.

5.3 Board Representation.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days), the Company shall take all actions necessary to enlarge the Board of Directors by one member and appoint Dr. Jonathan Isaacsohn to the Board of Directors in accordance with Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(c).

(b) For so long as (i) the Purchaser (together with its Affiliates) has Beneficial Ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock not less than the Closing Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transactions) and (ii) there does not exist a Material Breach (each, a “Termination Event”), the Purchaser shall have the right to designate to the Board of Directors one individual; provided, however, that such individual must (A) be qualified to serve as a member of the Board of Directors under all applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements and (B) agree to comply with all of the Company’s policies and rules applicable to the Company’s directors (clauses (A) and (B) together, the “Director Requirements”).

(c) Prior to designating any director, the Purchaser shall, to the extent requested in writing by the Company, enter into a written agreement with such director whereby such director agrees to resign as a member of the Board of Directors upon a Termination Event or at the Purchaser’s request, as applicable. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such an agreement is in the best interest of the Company and the Purchaser, and that the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of the terms and conditions of such an agreement, and the Company shall have the right to enforce the rights of the Purchaser under such an agreement to the extent such rights arise as a result of a Termination Event.

(d) For so long as the Purchaser is entitled to designate any individual to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 5.3 and subject to the Director Requirements, the Company shall take all action reasonably available to it to cause such individual (or any replacement designated by the Purchaser) to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (and/or in connection with any election by written consent) and the Company shall use the same efforts to cause the election of such nominee as it uses to cause other nominees recommended by the Board of Directors to be elected, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of such nominee.

(e) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of a director nominated or designated pursuant to this Section 5.3, or in the event of the failure of any such nominee to be elected, the Purchaser shall have the right to designate a replacement who satisfies the Director Requirements to fill such vacancy, or, if applicable, the Company shall take all necessary action to expand the Board of Directors by one seat and such vacancy shall then be filled by such replacement designated by the Purchaser. The Company shall take all action reasonably available to it to cause such vacancy to be filled by the replacement so designated, and the Board of Directors shall promptly elect such designee to the Board of Directors.

5.4 Board Recommendation. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof (and, in any event, within thirty (30) days), the Company shall propose to the Board of Directors (and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof) that the Board of Directors consider in good faith, upon his appointment as a director in accordance with Section 5.3(a), the possible appointment of Dr. Jonathan Isaacsohn as Chairperson of the Board of Directors.

5.5 Board Observer. For so long as the Purchaser is entitled to designate a director under Section 5.3, the Purchaser will have the right to designate a representative (the “Board Observer”), initially to be Dr. August Troendle, to act as a non-voting observer of meetings of the Board of Directors with the right to receive notice of and attend or otherwise participate in all meetings of the Board of Directors and to receive all information furnished to the Company’s directors at the same time as it is so furnished; provided that (a) the Board of Directors will have the right to approve the Board Observer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that Dr. August Troendle is hereby deemed approved, and (b) the Board of Directors may exclude the Board Observer from such portions of any meeting where the Board of Directors reasonably determines that such exclusion is necessary to preserve attorney-client privilege or to avoid a conflict of interest. The Purchaser, in consideration of its

attendance and participation at such meetings, hereby agrees to cause the Board Observer to be bound by and comply with the Company’s confidentiality, trading windows and black-out policies applicable to insiders and others receiving the Company’s confidential and proprietary information in the forms provided to the Purchaser prior to the date hereof, as amended from time to time (provided that no such policies shall restrict the Board Observer from making disclosures of information to the Purchaser and its Affiliates, it being understood that any information so disclosed will be subject to Section 5.1).

5.6 Shelf Registration Rights.

(a) Filing. The Company agrees that it shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities, on a delayed or continuous basis, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (or sixty (60) calendar days after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, if the SEC informs the Company that it will “review” the Shelf Registration Statement). The Company shall maintain such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as of which all Shares registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or cease to be Registrable Securities. The Company shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to file any replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement to become effective prior to the expiration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 5.6(a).

(b) Suspension of Filing or Registration. If the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser and HoldCo a certificate, signed by a senior executive of the Company, stating that the filing, effectiveness or continued use of any Shelf Registration Statement would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, then the Company shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has been declared effective, to suspend the use by the Purchaser and HoldCo of such Shelf Registration Statement (in each case, a “Shelf Suspension”) for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to effect a Shelf Suspension pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days during any twelve (12)-month period. The Purchaser and HoldCo shall keep confidential the fact that a Shelf Suspension is in effect, the certificate referred to above and its contents for the permitted duration of the Shelf Suspension or until otherwise notified by the Company. In the case of a Shelf Suspension that occurs after the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, the Purchaser and HoldCo agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus for the permitted duration of such Shelf Suspension in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Shares, upon receipt of the certificate referred to above. The Company shall notify the Purchaser and HoldCo upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, and (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement that has not been declared effective, shall promptly use its

commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of an effective Shelf Registration Statement, shall amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any material misstatement or omission prior to the expiration of the Shelf Suspension and furnish to the Purchaser such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Purchaser may reasonably request.

(c) Shelf Take-Downs. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 5, following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Purchaser or HoldCo (each, an “Initiating Party”) may (for itself and/or on behalf of HoldCo) initiate a Shelf Take-Down that shall be specified in the written demand delivered by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.6(c).

(i) The Initiating Party may elect in a written demand delivered to the Company (a “Shelf Take-Down Notice”) for any Shelf Take-Down (a “Shelf Take- Down”), and the Company shall, if so requested, file and effect an amendment or supplement of the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Shelf Take-Down pursuant to this Section 5.6(c)(i) unless the aggregate offering price of the Shares covered by such registration shall be reasonably expected to exceed $40,000,000 (after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions), in the case of any marketed Shelf Take-Down.

(ii) The Initiating Party may elect in a Shelf Take-Down Notice for a Shelf Take-Down in the form of a “over-night deal” or no-roadshow “block trade” where pricing is expected to occur within a limited time frame after such initiation, and the Company shall, if so requested, file and effect an amendment or supplement of the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Shelf Take-Down pursuant to this Section 5.6(c)(ii) unless the aggregate offering price of the Shares covered by such registration shall be reasonably expected to exceed $25,000,000 (after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions).

(iii) Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo, individually, may not demand more than one (1) Shelf Take-Down pursuant to this Section 5.6(c) in any twelve (12) month period, with at least ninety (90) days between any such demands. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1) marketed Shelf Take- Down, and the Company will also not be obligated to effect any Shelf Take-Down during a Management Blackout Period.

(iv) The Initiating Party shall have the right to select the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters to administer such Shelf Take-Down; provided that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to select a co- Managing Underwriter in the case of any marketed Shelf Take-Down; provided that such co-Managing Underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.

(v) With respect to any Shelf Take-Down, the right of the Purchaser and HoldCo, as applicable, to participate in such Shelf Take-Down shall be conditioned upon (i) the Purchaser’s and HoldCo’s (as applicable) participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Purchaser’s and/or HoldCo’s Shares in the Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 5.10 and (ii) the Purchaser’s and HoldCo’s (as applicable) entry into a customary lock-up agreement with the Underwriter(s) during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the Managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering. The Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and/or HoldCo (as applicable), on the other hand, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected in accordance with Section 5.6(c)(iv). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.6, if the Managing Underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration creates a substantial risk that the price per share of securities offered thereby will be reduced, then the Managing Underwriter(s) and the Company may exclude securities (including Registrable Securities) from the Shelf Take-Down, and the number of securities that may be included in such registration shall include: (1) first, any Equity Securities that the Initiating Party proposes to sell; (2) second, to the extent that the number of securities does not exceed the Underwriters’ limitation under clause (1), any other securities, if any, included in such registration by the Company; and (3) third, to the extent that the number of securities does not exceed the Underwriters’ limitation under clauses (1) and (2), any other securities, if any, requested to be included in such registration to be allocated pro rata among the holders thereof, or in the case of clauses (2) and (3), such other formulation as to comply with each of the Rights Agreements.

5.7 Right to Piggyback. Following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act for its own account or otherwise and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Equity Securities (each, a “Piggyback Registration”) (except for registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any successor form thereto, or any “over-night deal” or no-roadshow “block trade” initiated by the Company), the Company shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the Purchaser and HoldCo of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and will use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities (in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 5.7(a) and 5.7(b) below) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion specifying the number of Equity Securities desired to be registered, which request shall be delivered within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Company’s notice. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion.

(a) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company and the Managing Underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Equity Securities requested to be included in the registration creates a substantial risk that the price per share of the primary securities will be reduced or that the amount of the primary securities intended to be included on behalf of the Company will be reduced, then the Managing Underwriter(s) and the Company may exclude

securities (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of securities that may be included in such registration and underwriting shall include: (1) first, any Equity Securities that the Company proposes to sell; and (2) second, to the extent that the number of securities does not exceed the Underwriters’ limitation under clause (1), any other securities, if any, requested to be included in such registration to be allocated pro rata among the holders thereof, or in the case of clause (2), such other formulation as to comply with each of the Rights Agreements.

(b) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary offering on behalf of any entity (other than the Company or Purchaser) and the Managing Underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in the registration creates a substantial risk that the price per share of securities offered thereby will be reduced, then the Managing Underwriter(s) and the Company may exclude securities (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of securities that may be included in such registration and underwriting shall include the following priority: (1) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the initiating party or parties, and (2) second, to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock does not exceed the Underwriters’ limitation under clause (1), any other shares of Common Stock, if any, requested to be included in such registration (including the Company) to be allocated pro rata among the holders thereof, or in the case of clause (2), such other formulation as to comply with each of the Rights Agreements.

(c) Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Piggyback Registration, the Company will have such right to select the Managing Underwriter(s) in respect of such offering in its sole discretion.

(d) Payment of Expenses for Piggyback Registrations. The Company will pay only its own Registration Expenses with respect to the Piggyback Registrations under this Section 5.7.

(e) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.7 whether or not the Purchaser or HoldCo has elected to include securities in such registration. Should the Purchaser or HoldCo request a withdrawal of a demand under this Section 5.7, the Purchaser and HoldCo shall be responsible for the expenses incurred, unless the withdrawal counts as one of the two allowable demands under Section 5.6(c).

5.8 Company Procedures. Whenever required under this Section 5 to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or cease to be Registrable Securities;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

(c) in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the Managing Underwriter(s) of such offering; the Purchaser, HoldCo and any other parties participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

(d) notify the Purchaser and HoldCo as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof is received by the Company of any written comments by the SEC or any request by the SEC or any other federal or state Governmental Authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or for additional information;

(e) notify the Purchaser and HoldCo at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a material misstatement or omission;

(f) notify the Purchaser and HoldCo as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any order by the SEC or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, or any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Equity Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(g) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable;

(h) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make available for inspection by the Underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such Registration, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as such parties may reasonably request, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by the Underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in connection with the Registration or qualification of such Equity Securities for offer and sale under the “Blue Sky” or securities laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as the Underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing, and do any and all other things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such Registration or qualification in effect; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or take any action which would subject it to taxation or service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(j) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, obtain for delivery to the Underwriters an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in customary form, scope and substance, which opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, as the case may be, and their counsel;

(k) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, obtain for delivery to the Underwriters a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters reasonably request, dated the date of execution of the underwriting agreement and brought down to the closing under the underwriting agreement;

(l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Registrable Securities that are covered by such Registration Statement with any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

(m) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(n) in the case of an Underwritten Offering that is marketed, cause the senior executive officers of the Company to participate in the customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriters and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto; and

(o) otherwise, in good faith, reasonably cooperate with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by, the Purchaser or HoldCo, in connection with such Registration.

5.9 Indemnity.

(a) The Company will, and does hereby undertake to, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, HoldCo and each of the Purchaser’s and HoldCo’s officers, directors, trustees, employees, partners, managers, members, equityholders, beneficiaries, affiliates and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or HoldCo, within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Section 5, and each Underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any Underwriter, of the Registrable Securities held by or issuable to the Purchaser or HoldCo, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state law arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other similar document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such Registration, qualification, compliance or sale effected pursuant to this Section 5, or

based on any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made and will reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser and HoldCo (as applicable), each such Underwriter and each such director, officer, trustee, employee, partner, manager, member, equityholder, beneficiary, affiliate, agent and controlling person, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser or HoldCo or Underwriter expressly for use therein.

(b) The Purchaser does hereby undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its officers, directors, employees, equityholders, affiliates and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each Underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any Underwriter, of the Company’s Registrable Securities covered by such a Registration Statement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document, or any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse, as incurred, the Company, each such Underwriter, and each such officer, director, trustee, employee, partner, equityholder, beneficiary, affiliate, agent and controlling person of the foregoing, for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information that (i) relates to the Purchaser in its capacity as a selling security holder and (ii) was furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein.

(c) HoldCo does hereby undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its officers, directors, employees, equityholders, affiliates and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each Underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any Underwriter, of the Company’s Registrable Securities covered by such a Registration Statement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document, or any 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse, as incurred, the Company, each such Underwriter, and each such officer, director, trustee, employee, partner, equityholder, beneficiary, affiliate, agent and controlling person of the foregoing, for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, free writing prospectus or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information that (i) relates to HoldCo in its capacity as a selling security holder and (ii) was furnished to the Company by HoldCo expressly for use therein.

(d) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.9 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim as to which indemnification may be sought promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge thereof, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be subject to approval by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense if representation of such Indemnified Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; and provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5.9, except to the extent that such failure to give notice materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. An Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, may, without the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include any recovery (including any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party) other than monetary damages, and provided, that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in case indemnification is prohibited or limited by law, 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 or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and such Person’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such actions; provided, however, that, in any case, (i) the Purchaser and HoldCo will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchaser and HoldCo upon the sale of the Equity Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.10 Information by the Purchaser and HoldCo. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and proposed distribution as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any Registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 5. Each of the Purchaser and HoldCo agrees, if requested in writing by the Company, to represent to the Company the total number of Equity Securities held in order for the Company to make determinations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if either the Purchaser and HoldCo does not provide the Company with information requested pursuant to this Section 5.10, the Company may exclude the Purchaser’s or HoldCo’s (as applicable) Equity Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines in good faith, based on the advice of outside counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the Registration and the Purchaser or HoldCo, as applicable, continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering of Equity Securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration under this Agreement unless such Person completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Subject to the minimum thresholds set forth in Section 5.6(c) the exclusion of the Purchaser’s or HoldCo’s, as applicable, Equity Securities as a result of this Section 5.10 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

5.11 Standstill Restrictions.

(a) During the Lock-Up Period, HoldCo covenants and agrees that, unless invited in writing with the approval of a majority of the whole Board of Directors, it shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, any Equity Securities (other than the Shares, the Warrants, the Additional Shares acquired in accordance with Section 5.11(c), any shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities issued by the Company with respect to the Shares or Additional Shares pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split or other recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock or pursuant to any shareholder rights or similar plan or any shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities issued by the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents) or any other security, including any cash-settled option or other derivative security, that transfers all or any portion of the economic benefits or risks of the ownership of Equity Securities to the Purchaser, HoldCo or any of their respective controlled Affiliates;

(ii) make any statement or proposal to the Company or any of the Company’s stockholders regarding, or make any public announcement, proposal or offer (including any “solicitation” of “proxies” as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act) with respect to, or otherwise solicit or effect, or seek or offer or propose to effect (whether directly or indirectly, publicly or otherwise) (A) any business combination, merger, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any Change of Control, (B) any restructuring, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any divestiture, break-up or spinoff, or (C) any acquisition of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s equity securities or rights or options to acquire interests in the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s equity securities;

(iii) negotiate, have any discussions or act in concert with, or advise or knowingly finance, assist or encourage, any other Person in connection with any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, or otherwise form, join or participate in a group (other than a group comprised solely of HoldCo and its Subsidiaries) with respect to any Equity Securities in connection with any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above;

(iv) request, call or seek to call a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, nominate any individual for election as a director of the Company at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, submit any stockholder proposal (pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act or otherwise) to seek representation on the Board of Directors or any other proposal to be considered by the stockholders of the Company, or publicly recommend that any other stockholder vote in favor of, or otherwise publicly comment favorably about, or solicit votes or proxies for, any such nomination or proposal submitted by another stockholder of the Company, or otherwise publicly seek to control or influence the Board of Directors, management or policies of the Company;

(v) deposit any shares of the voting stock of the Company in a voting trust or similar arrangement or subject any shares of voting stock of the Company to any voting agreement, pooling arrangement or similar arrangement;

(vi) take any action which would reasonably be expected to require the Company or any of its Affiliates to make a public announcement regarding any of the actions set forth in this Section 5.11(a); or

(vii) request that the Company, directly or indirectly, amend, waive or terminate any provision of this Section 5.11(a) (including this sentence), unless and until the Person seeking such amendment, waiver or termination has received the prior written invitation or approval of the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.11(a), if (i) the Company enters into a binding definitive agreement with any third party providing for a Change of Control or (ii) any Person or group (other than the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) announces a proposal providing for a Change of Control and the Board of Directors has publicly recommended such proposal, then the provisions of Section 5.11(a) will terminate solely to the extent necessary to facilitate a public or private offer by the Purchaser or its Affiliates to acquire directly or indirectly at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Purchaser or its Affiliates from submitting to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if no Chairperson shall then be sitting, another member of the Board of Directors) one or more confidential proposals or offers for a potential transaction (including a Change of Control transaction) with the Company (as long as such confidential offer or proposal is made in a manner

that would not reasonably be expected to require the Purchaser, HoldCo or the Company to make a public announcement regarding such confidential proposal or offer); provided that, except as otherwise permitted by the first sentence of this Section 5.11(b) (in which case the limitation in this sentence shall not apply), prior to submitting any such written confidential proposal or offer during the Lock-Up Period relating to any Change of Control transaction, the Purchaser or its Affiliate will advise the Company of its intention and will refrain from submitting such proposal or offer if affirmatively so requested by the Company based on action by its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will have the sole and absolute discretion whether to accept any such proposal or offer.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.11(a)(i), the Purchaser and its consolidated Subsidiaries will be entitled to purchase, subject to compliance with applicable Laws, from time to time in one or more transactions, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with holders of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, additional shares of common stock of the Company (any such shares so acquired, the “Additional Shares”); provided that, when taken together with all other shares of common stock of the Company Beneficially Owned by the Purchaser and its Affiliates at the time such transaction is consummated, such purchase will not as of the time of such purchase result in the Purchaser and its Affiliates being the Beneficial Owner of more than 35.00% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding, as reported in the most recent report filed by the Company with the SEC containing such information as of such time.

5.12 Reporting Obligations. With a view to making available to the Purchaser and HoldCo the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees, so long as the Purchaser or HoldCo owns Registrable Securities, to make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 and to promptly furnish the Purchaser with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the SEC pursuant to EDGAR shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.12. Following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company further covenants that it shall take such further and customary action as Purchaser or HoldCo may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Purchaser or HoldCo to sell shares of Common Stock held by such party without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of Purchaser, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser or HoldCo (as applicable) a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

5.13 Nasdaq Listing. For so long as a prospectus is required under the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with any sale of the Shares, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or the New York Stock Exchange and, in accordance therewith, will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such market or exchange, as applicable.

5.14 Removal of Legends. Following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and subject to receipt by the Company of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection therewith, upon the earlier of such time as the Shares (a) have been sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) such time as the Shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (c) are eligible for resale without any restriction (volume or otherwise) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to timely remove any restrictive legends related to the book-entry account holding such Shares and make a new, unlegended entry for such book-entry Shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends, including, if necessary, causing its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act. Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall, unless otherwise directed by the Purchaser, be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser or HoldCo, as applicable, by crediting the account of such party’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System (DTC) as directed by such party. The Company shall be responsible for all fees (with respect to its Transfer Agent, counsel, DTC or otherwise) associated with such issuance.

5.15 Additional Cooperation. The Purchaser and HoldCo will cooperate with the Company with respect to providing such reasonable information and access to the Purchaser’s, HoldCo’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ employees and the employees of their independent accountants as is reasonably necessary for the Company to comply on a timely basis with its disclosure and reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act including any such obligations arising out of a registration (or other offering) of any securities of the Company, including any registration of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such cooperation will include making appropriate officers of the Purchaser, HoldCo and their respective Subsidiaries available for any reasonable and customary due diligence efforts with respect to any registration (or other offering) of the Company’s securities and using reasonable efforts to cause the Purchaser’s and HoldCo’s independent accountants to participate in any reasonable and customary due diligence activities (including providing a customary “comfort letter,” if appropriate) with respect to any registration (or other offering) of the Company’s securities. The Company will pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser, HoldCo or their respective directors, officers, partners, members, agents, counsels, accountants, advisers, representatives or directors relating to their performance of this Section 5.15.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party will pay its own direct and indirect expenses incurred by it in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees and expenses of its advisors and representatives.

All notices, requests, consents and other communications under this Agreement to any party must be in writing and are deemed duly delivered when (a) delivered if delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid), (b) transmitted via email (including via attached .pdf document) to the email address set out below or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by United States of America certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; in each case to the following addresses or email of the individual (by name or title) designated below (or to such other address, email or individual as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

6.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents (together with the exhibits and schedules thereto) and the other written agreements entered into between the parties as of the date hereof, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

6.4 Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor will any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

6.5 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance.

(a) The representations and warranties and, to the extent contemplating or requiring performance in full at the Closing, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument, agreement or other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate effective immediately as of the Closing, and there shall be no liability in respect thereof (except in the case of Fraud). Each covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement that is to be performed by its terms after the Closing shall survive until the last date for performance of such covenant or agreement as provided in this Agreement.

(b) In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by the Purchaser, HoldCo and their Representatives, the Purchaser, HoldCo and their Representatives have received and may continue to receive from the Company and its Representatives certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information containing such information and other information, regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses and operations. The Purchaser and HoldCo hereby acknowledge that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, with which the Purchaser and HoldCo are familiar, that each of the Purchaser and HoldCo is making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking or other information, as well as such business plans, so furnished to the Purchaser or HoldCo (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information or business plans), and except for the

representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 3, the Purchaser and HoldCo have not relied on and will have no claim against the Company and its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Representatives with respect thereto and (ii) it has relied solely on its own inspection and examination of the Company and on the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 and has not relied and is not relying on any other statements made or other information made available or any other express or implied representations or warranties of any nature made by the Company or any of its Representatives.

(c) The Purchaser and HoldCo unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 6.5 are an integral part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) without the agreements set forth in this Section 6.5, the Company would not enter into this Agreement.

6.6 Successors and Permitted Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Neither the Purchaser nor HoldCo may assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that, Purchaser and HoldCo, as applicable, may Transfer any or all of such party’s Shares or the Warrants, and in connection therewith assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement, to a wholly-owned subsidiary of such party if such subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, so long as such subsidiary is not a Sanctioned Person; provided, further, that, for so long as the Closing Note remains outstanding, the Purchaser may Transfer the Closing Shares pursuant to the foregoing proviso only if (i) the Purchaser Transfers one hundred percent (100%) of the Closing Shares to a single transferee in such Transfer and (ii) concurrently with such Transfer of the Closing Shares, the Purchaser assigns to such transferee, and such transferee agrees to assume from the Purchaser, the obligations of the Purchaser under the Closing Note. None of the rights granted to the Purchaser or HoldCo pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents may be exercised by any Person, other than the Purchaser or HoldCo, as applicable, or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser or HoldCo, as applicable, to which such party’s rights are assigned in accordance with this Section 6.6 (so long as such assignee continues to be an Affiliate of the such party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such party will remain primarily liable for the performance of all obligations of such party under the Transaction Documents notwithstanding any assignment pursuant to this Section 6.6. In the event that the Purchaser or HoldCo becomes a Sanctioned Person (whether due to a Change of Control or otherwise), the Purchaser shall immediately notify the Company in writing and the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Purchaser.

6.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

6.8 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term

or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each of the Company, the Purchaser and HoldCo intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable law.

6.9 Remedies. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by any party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by such party. Without prejudice to the dispute resolution provisions of Section 6.13 (which shall apply at all times), the parties accordingly agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at law or in equity, each party is entitled to injunctive relief to (i) prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other party and (ii) enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement against the other party. Each party expressly waives any requirement that the other party obtain any bond or provide any indemnity in connection with any action seeking injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.

6.10 Disclaimer. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Services Agreement, (a) the Company makes no warranty, express or implied, as to any matter whatsoever relating to the Shares or the Warrants or any other matter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including as to (i) the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing in any manner, or (ii) the probable success or profitability of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing, and (b) neither the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, employees or agents will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Purchaser, HoldCo or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Purchaser, HoldCo or their respective Representatives of, or the Purchaser’s or HoldCo’s use of, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, including any descriptive memoranda, summary business descriptions, financial forecasts, projections or models, or any information, documents or material made available to the Purchaser, HoldCo or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, whether orally or in writing, in management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions, responses to questions submitted on behalf of the Purchaser or HoldCo or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.11 Business Days. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is not a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

6.12 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto.

6.13 Governing Law; Venue and Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable principles of conflicts of law that could mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and any subsequent amendments thereof), or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, and any question of the Arbitral Tribunal’s jurisdiction or the existence, scope or validity of this arbitration agreement or the arbitrability of any claim (each a “Dispute”), shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

(d) There shall be three arbitrators (the “Arbitral Tribunal”), of whom the claimant and respondent each will select one within thirty (30) Business Days of the receipt by the respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If either the claimant or respondent fails to appoint an arbitrator within the time periods specified herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. The two arbitrators so appointed shall nominate the third and presiding arbitrator (the “Chair”) within thirty (30) Business Days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. In the event that the two party-appointed arbitrators fail to reach an agreement on a Chair within thirty (30) Business Days of their appointment, then the AAA shall appoint the Chair.

(e) The arbitration, and any decisions and awards arising thereunder, will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.).

(f) Any arbitration hereunder shall be confidential, and the parties and their Representatives agree not to disclose to any third party: (i) the existence or status of the arbitration; or (ii) any information made known and documents produced in the arbitration not otherwise in the public domain, and (iii) all awards arising from the arbitration, except and to the extent that disclosure is required by applicable Law or is required to protect or pursue a legal right.

(g) In addition to monetary damages, the Arbitral Tribunal shall be empowered to award equitable relief, including an injunction and specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement.

(h) The award of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any Disputes presented to the Arbitral Tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over any party or any of its assets.

(i) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to award attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses, as well as the costs of the arbitration, to such extent and to such parties as it sees fit.

(j) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies that may be granted by a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to request that a court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the Arbitral Tribunal’s orders to that effect.

(k) The parties consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York County in the State of New York (the “New York Courts”), to compel arbitration or for interim or provisional remedies in aid of arbitration and for the enforcement of any arbitral award rendered hereunder. In any such action: (i) each party hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any New York Court; (ii) each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service will constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof; nothing contained herein will be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law; and (iii) each party waives any right to trial by jury in any court. Furthermore, nothing herein shall affect the parties’ right to bring legal action or proceedings to enforce an arbitral award in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

6.14 Counterparts and Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by email delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

6.15 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the Closing, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of the other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder or thereunder.
