Except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Law, including the federal securities laws, or the rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or Nasdaq, no Party will, and each Party will cause its Affiliates and its Representatives not to, issue any press release or other public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the other Parties; provided that, in any event, the use of a Commitment Party’s name, or the names of any of its Affiliated funds, investment vehicles and/or managed accounts, in any press release or public announcement shall require the prior written consent of such Commitment Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 9.11 No Recourse.

Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates, Affiliated Funds or Related Parties or Representatives or any of such Party’s Affiliates’, Affiliated Funds’ or Related Parties’ Affiliates or Representatives in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties or Representatives, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.11 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

Section 9.12 Relationship Among Parties.

(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Commitment Parties arising under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Commitment Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any parties that the Commitment Parties, are in any way acting in concert or as a “group” (or a joint venture, partnership or association), and the Company will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and each Commitment Party confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement with the advice of counsel and advisors.

(b)In connection with any matter requiring consent or a request of the Commitment Parties under this Agreement, there is no requirement or obligation that such holders agree among themselves to take such action and no agreement among such holders with respect to any such action. In connection with any matter that may be requested by the Commitment Parties, each such holder may, through its counsel, make such request; provided, that the Company will only be required to take such action if it receives the request of the Commitment Parties, as the case may be. In connection with any matter requiring consent of the Commitment Parties hereunder, the Company will solicit consent independently from each such holder or its respective counsel; provided, that such consent shall only be granted if the approval of the Commitment Parties (as applicable) is obtained.

(c)The Company acknowledges that each Commitment Party may be (or may be affiliated with) a full service financial firm and as such from time to time may, together with its Affiliates, effect transactions for its own account or the account of customers, and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities or loans of business entities that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any claims the Company may have with respect to any conflict of interest arising from such transactions, activities, investments or holdings, or arising from the failure of any Commitment Party or any of its respective Affiliates to bring such transactions, activities, investments or holdings to the Company’s attention.

Section 9.13 Further Assurances.

From and after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of any Party hereto, any other Party hereto shall execute, acknowledge, file and/or deliver all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, and shall do (or cause to be done) all such additional acts and things, that are necessary, proper, advisable or desirable to carry out, consummate and make effective any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.14 Guarantee.

Oaktree hereby guarantees the payment of Oaktree Buyer’s Commitment Amount at the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, following the Closing, Oaktree shall have no further liability or obligation of any nature, whether in tort, contract (including a claim based on failure to act in good faith) or otherwise. To the extent that Oaktree Buyer is relieved from all or any portion of its payment obligations under this Agreement or applicable Law, Oaktree shall be similarly relieved of such payment obligations, to such extent, from its obligations pursuant to this Section 9.14. The provisions of this Section 9.14 are subject to Oaktree’s right to assert any defense, right, remedies or set-offs that could be asserted by Oaktree Buyer. This guarantee shall apply regardless of any amendments, variations, alterations, waivers or extensions to this Agreement that are made in accordance with Section 9.7.

Section 4. Dividends.

(a)Accumulation and Payment of Dividends. No dividends shall be paid on the Series B Preferred Stock unless as, if and when declared by the Board. Except as set forth below, commencing from and after the Closing Date, dividends will accumulate for each Dividend Period with respect to each share, or fraction of a share, of Series B Preferred Stock at the Accumulated Dividend Rate on the Stated Value per whole share (or fraction thereof with respect to fractional shares) and will increase the Stated Value of such share of Series B Preferred Stock on and effective as of the applicable Dividend Date without any further action by the Board (the “Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividend”); provided, that, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and only as, if and when declared by the Board, dividends will be declared and paid in cash with respect to each share, or fraction of a share, of Series B Preferred Stock at the Cash Dividend Rate on the Stated Value per whole share (or fraction thereof with respect to fractional shares) and will be payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the applicable Dividend Date (the “Series B Preferred Cash Dividend” and together with the Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividend, the “Series B Preferred Dividend”). Other than as permitted pursuant to Section 4(d), any Series B Preferred Cash Dividend shall be paid prior and in preference to dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock and any shares of other Junior Stock and pari passu with any shares of Parity Stock (to the extent such Parity Stock is such because it ranks on a par with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) commencing on the Closing Date, the Series B Preferred Dividend shall accumulate daily on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day periods on the Stated Value of each share of Series B Preferred Stock (as such Stated Value may be increased by any Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividends pursuant to this Section 4(a)) and (y) the amount of Series B Preferred Dividends accumulated on the Series B Preferred Stock for any period other than a full Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period over a 360-day year.

(b)Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. For so long as any share of Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, if Series B Preferred Cash Dividends are not declared and paid in full upon the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock with the same dividend payment date or with a dividend payment date which arises during the dividend period ending on a Dividend Date, all Series B Preferred Cash Dividends declared upon shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock will be declared on a proportional basis, with the effect that the amount of dividends declared per share will be declared and paid among them in the same ratio as the amount of all accumulated but unpaid dividends as of the Dividend Date for the applicable dividend period per share of Series B Preferred Stock is to the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends as of the end of the applicable dividend period per share of any Parity Stock.

(c)Dividends After Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, no share of Series B Preferred Stock shall accrue any dividends after the date on which (i) such share has been redeemed or purchased by the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof or (ii) the Corporation has validly sought to redeem or purchase such share in accordance with Section 7 but has been unable to do so because of the failure of the holder thereof to return the certificate representing such share, so long as the Corporation has set aside funds for such redemption or payment in accordance with Section 7(f). For each share of Series B Preferred Stock, the date that is the earliest of the dates specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(c) is referred to herein as such share’s “Dividend Cessation Date.”

(d)Restrictions. Until the Dividend Cessation Date of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock, neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries shall declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, other than (i) dividends payable on (A) Senior Stock, (B) Parity Stock in compliance, to the extent applicable, with the provisions of Section 4(b) and (C) Junior Stock payable solely in the form of additional shares of Junior Stock and (ii) dividends or distributions by a Subsidiary; provided that the Corporation may pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock (“Class A Cash Dividends”) if either (x) no Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividends have accumulated on any shares of Series B Preferred Stock prior to or on the date such dividend is paid on the Series A Preferred Stock or (y) as of the date such dividend is paid on the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation has redeemed, in accordance with Section 7, shares of Series B Preferred Stock having a Stated Value that has been increased as a result of all Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividends that have accumulated since the Closing Date in respect of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding as of such date and the Corporation has paid a Series B Preferred Cash Dividend for such Dividend Period with respect to any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that remain outstanding. Until the Dividend Cessation Date of all Series B Preferred Stock, neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any (x) Junior Stock, other than repurchases of Common Stock of departing directors and officers of the Corporation or (y) Parity Stock, other than in compliance, to the extent applicable, with the provisions of Section 7(d).

(e)Tax Treatment of Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividend. The Corporation shall not report any accumulation of a Series B Preferred Accumulated Dividend pursuant to Section 4(a) as a distribution or dividend for U.S. federal income

A-5

tax purposes as long as there is “substantial authority” for this treatment as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6662- 4(d)(2).

(f)Record Date. The Board may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days and no less than ten days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Section 5. Liquidation Event.

(a)Distributions. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Senior Stock or Parity Stock in connection therewith, upon any Liquidation Event, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Corporation may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Stock in connection with such Liquidation Event, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder equal to the sum of (i) the Stated Value plus (ii) all accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to such share calculated through the day prior to such payment. Other than as expressly set forth in the immediately foregoing sentence, upon receipt of the aggregate amount owed to such holder upon a Liquidation Event (as determined in accordance with the immediately foregoing sentence), no holder of Series B Preferred Stock, in its capacity as such, shall be entitled to any further payments upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which have received the full amount to which they are entitled under this Certificate of Designations upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event or for which the full amount to which they are entitled has been made available by the Corporation in accordance with Section 7(f) shall, automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder thereof, be cancelled effective upon receipt or the making available by the Corporation of such amount in accordance with Section 7(f); provided that such cancellation shall not impair the right of a holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to subsequently receive the amount that has been made available.

(b)Partial Distributions. If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation to be distributed in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock are insufficient to permit payment in respect thereof of the aggregate amount to which they are entitled under this Certificate of Designations upon such Liquidation Event, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock based upon the aggregate amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled upon such Liquidation Event with respect to such Series B Preferred Stock or Parity Stock, as applicable.

(c)Notice of Liquidation Event. The Corporation shall provide written notice to the Stockholders’ Representative and each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at least 10 days prior to the consummation of a Liquidation Event.

Section 6. Voting Rights.

(a)Voting Rights Generally. Other than any voting rights provided by applicable law or as expressly provided by this Certificate of Designations, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (in their capacities as such) shall not have voting rights of shareholders under this Certificate of Designations, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the Securities Act of 1933, as

amended, on account of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock from time to time held by such holders.


(b)	Stockholders’ Representative.

(i)Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Ares as the sole and exclusive attorney-in-fact and proxy of such holder of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Stockholders’ Representative”), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to exercise or abstain from exercising the rights granted to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 (other than any amendments that are either (i) adversely disproportionate to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock as compared to other holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) adversely affect the definition of Cash Dividend Rate or Accumulated Dividend Rate or the redemption required by Section 7(a)(ii)) to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any action taken or not taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall not be subject to challenge or input from any such holder of Series B Preferred Stock. Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock and no subsequent proxies (whether revocable or irrevocable) shall be given (and if given, such subsequent proxies shall not be effective) by such holder with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock that conflict with this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney is intended to be irrevocable and is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted for good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and shall be valid and binding on any person to whom the holder

A-6

of Series B Preferred Stock may transfer any of its Series B Preferred Stock. The power of attorney granted herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of each holder of Series B Preferred Stock. The provisions of this Section 6(b) shall terminate with respect to a holder of Series B Preferred Stock once such holder no longer owns any Series B Preferred Stock. The Stockholders’ Representative may appoint one or more successor representatives to the Stockholders’ Representative, subject to the approval of holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(ii)Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock hereby irrevocably delegates all power and authority to the Stockholders’ Representative to exercise, on behalf of such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, any and all rights of such holder in respect of such Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 (other than any amendments that are either (i) adversely disproportionate to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock as compared to other holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) adversely affect the definition of Cash Dividend Rate or Accumulated Dividend Rate or the redemption required by Section 7(a)(ii)), including the granting of any waivers or the exercise of any consent, approval or voting rights or powers on behalf of such holder.

(iii)The Stockholders’ Representative shall not, in the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, have any liability to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock whatsoever with respect to its actions, decisions and determinations, and shall be entitled to assume that all actions, decisions and determinations are fully authorized by each and every one of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation hereby agrees that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not, in its capacity as such, have any liability to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates whatsoever with respect to its actions, decisions or determinations.

(c)Consent Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Dividend Cessation Date of all Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly (whether by merger, consolidation, amendment of this Certificate of Designations or otherwise), without the prior written approval of the Stockholders’ Representative:

(i)create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue any shares of, (A) Senior Stock, (B) Parity Stock (including any Series B Preferred Stock), (C) any Capital Stock that votes as a single class with the Series B Preferred Stock on any of the matters which require the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6, or (D) any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of the Corporation, other than issuances by a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Corporation to the Corporation;

(ii)reclassify, alter or amend any Capital Stock of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other Capital Stock senior to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or the payment of dividends;

(iii)enter into any agreement with respect to, or consummate, any merger, consolidation or similar transaction with any other Person pursuant to which the Corporation or such Subsidiary would not be the surviving entity in such transaction, if as a result of such transaction, any capital stock or equity or equity-linked securities of such Person would rank senior to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the surviving entity or such Subsidiary;

(iv)assume, incur or guarantee, or authorize the creation, assumption, incurrence or guarantee of, any indebtedness for borrowed money (specifically excluding letters of credit, performance or payment bonds, and capitalized lease obligations) if, after taking into account such assumption, incurrence or guarantee of such indebtedness for borrowed money, the aggregate outstanding amount of such indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries would exceed $5,000,000 on a consolidated basis, other than (x) any indebtedness for borrowed money under the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2018, as amended and restated as of November 2, 2018 and as further amended and restated as of November 16, 2018 (the “Existing Facility”), or (y) any refinancing thereof in a principal amount not to exceed the available amount under the Existing Facility;

(v)authorize or consummate any Change of Control or Liquidation Event unless on or prior to the consummation of such Change of Control or Liquidation Event, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemed, paid or purchased in full at the Optional Redemption Price;

(vi)alter, amend, supplement, restate, waive or otherwise modify any provision of this Certificate of

A-7

Designations or any other governing document of the Corporation (including any other Certificate of Designations) in a manner that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the rights or obligations of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided that any amendments that are either (i) adversely disproportionate to holders of the Series

B Preferred Stock as compared to other holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) adversely affect the definition of Cash Dividend Rate or Accumulated Dividend Rate or the redemption required by Section 7(a)(ii) shall require the prior written approval of each adversely affected holder of Series B Preferred Stock.

(vii)at any time when the Corporation is prohibited from making Class A Cash Dividends pursuant to Section 4(d), utilize the restricted payment basket set forth in Section 8.05(l) of the Credit Agreement for any purpose other than making a Series B Preferred Cash Dividend or redeeming, repurchasing or otherwise retiring Series B Preferred Stock; or

(viii)enter into any amendment to the Credit Agreement (including an amendment and restatement or refinancing) that materially and adversely affects the ability of the Corporation to make cash dividend payments, liquidation payments or redemption payments compared to the Credit Agreement in effect on the Closing Date.

Section 7. Redemption Rights.

(a)Redemption Events.

(i)The Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at the Optional Redemption Price per share; provided, that any such redemption shall be on a pro rata basis among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holders.

(ii)On February 15, 2025, the Corporation shall redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at the Mandatory Redemption price per share.

(iii)Concurrently with and as a condition to the consummation of a Change of Control, subject to the prior repayment in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement as required pursuant to the terms thereof, the Corporation shall repurchase all Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at the Optional Redemption Price per share.

(iv)In the event of a Qualifying Equity Sale, the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the consummation of such Qualifying Equity Sale), use all of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Qualifying Equity Sale to redeem the maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are redeemable from such Net Cash Proceeds from such Qualifying Equity Sale at the Optional Redemption Price per share; provided that any such redemption shall be on a pro rata basis among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holders; provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to effect any redemption pursuant to this clause (iv) unless such redemption is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement (or any credit facility that refinances or replaces the Credit Agreement so long as any such credit facility that refinances or replaces the Credit Agreement or any amendment of the Credit Agreement after the date hereof is not more restrictive than the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof with respect to such redemptions).

(v)In the event of a Significant Disposition, the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the consummation of such Significant Disposition), use all of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Significant Disposition to redeem the maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are redeemable from such Net Cash Proceeds from such Significant Disposition at the Optional Redemption Price per share; provided that (x) any such redemption shall be on a pro rata basis among the holders of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holders and (y) if any portion of the consideration from such Significant Disposition is not in the form of cash consideration, then for purposes of this clause (iv) any such non-cash consideration shall be included in the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds as and when converted to cash; provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to effect any redemption pursuant to this clause (v) unless such redemption is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement (or any credit facility that refinances or replaces the Credit Agreement so long as any such credit facility that refinances or replaces the Credit Agreement or any amendment of the Credit Agreement after the date hereof is not more restrictive than the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof with respect to such redemptions).

(b)Redemption Price. In connection with any redemption pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i), 7(a)(iii), 7(a)(iv) or 7(a)(v), the Corporation shall pay a price per share of Series B Preferred Stock in cash equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon since the immediately preceding Dividend Date calculated through

A-8

the day prior to such redemption and (ii) $1,500, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon since the immediately preceding Dividend Date calculated through the day prior to such redemption, minus the amount of any Series B Preferred Cash Dividends actually paid on such share of Series B Preferred Stock since the Closing Date (the “Optional Redemption Price”).

In connection with any redemption pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii), the Corporation shall pay a price per share of Series B Preferred Stock in cash equal to the Stated Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon calculated through the day prior to such redemption (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”). There shall be no premium or penalty payable in connection with any such mandatory redemption.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, if the Corporation pays or makes available in accordance with Section 7(f) to the holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock the Optional Redemption Price or Mandatory Redemption Price, as applicable, in respect of such share of Series B Preferred Stock when and as required, such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be cancelled notwithstanding failure of the holder thereof to return the certificate representing such share; provided that such cancellation shall not impair the right of the holder of such share to subsequently receive the amount that has been made available.

(c)Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation shall provide written notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to the Stockholders’ Representative and each record holder of Series B Preferred Stock of any redemption not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the date on which such redemption is to be made (the “Redemption Date”) and a calculation specifying the amount owed to such holder by the Corporation in respect of each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder as of the Redemption Date. To the extent that any

redemption is being made in connection with the occurrence of one or more events, the Corporation may make the redemption contingent upon consummation of such event.

(d)Redemptions of Less than All Shares. If the Corporation is redeeming less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Corporation shall redeem such number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and each class or series of Parity Stock required to be redeemed, if any, such that the amount payable to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock in respect of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and/or Parity Stock, as the case may be, upon a Liquidation Event immediately after consummation of such redemption bears, as nearly as practicable, the same proportion to the total amount payable to holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock upon a Liquidation Event in respect of such shares immediately prior to consummation of such redemption. In the event that, for any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, fewer than the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five Business Days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(e)Other Redemptions or Acquisitions. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to purchase such Series B Preferred Stock from time to time.

(f)Effectiveness of Redemption. If a Redemption Notice has been duly given and if, on or before the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice, all funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust or escrow for the pro rata benefit of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor (subject to applicable escheat laws), or deposited by the Corporation with a bank or trust company in trust or escrow for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the Redemption Date, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall be cancelled and shall cease to be outstanding, all dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date, and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such Redemption Date cease and terminate without further liability to, or obligation of, the Corporation, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the Optional Redemption Price or Mandatory Redemption Price, as applicable, without interest.


(g)	Tax Treatment of Redemption.

(i)The Corporation and the applicable holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed pursuant to this Section 7 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock as a distribution received in full payment in exchange of such Series B Preferred Stock under Section 302(a) of the Code.

A-9

(ii)The Corporation shall not declare any accumulated but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares in connection with any redemption of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7.

(iii)The Corporation shall report the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a sale or exchange and not as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes as long as there is “substantial authority” for this reporting as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6662-4(d)(2).

Section 8. [Reserved].

Section 9. Status of Redeemed or Otherwise Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed or otherwise purchased or acquired by the Corporation, in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, shall be canceled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to retire such shares and reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.

Section 10.Preemptive Rights. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, in their capacities as such, shall not have any preemptive rights.

Section 11.Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, a holder of Series B Preferred Stock may transfer all or any portion of shares of such Series B Preferred Stock to any Person who is not, at the time of such transfer, a Competitor. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions, conditions, and obligations contained in this Certificate of Designations to which such holder of Series B Preferred Stock is subject shall continue to be applicable to and binding upon the transferee(s) of such Series B Preferred Stock and the transferee(s) of such Series B Preferred Stock shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Certificate of Designations.

Section 12.Board Designation Rights. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Corporation agrees to increase the size of the Board in order to appoint one director designated by the Stockholders’ Representative to the Board for a term expiring at the 2021 annual meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders. So long as there is more than $20 million of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, the Corporation agrees to at all times appoint or nominate for election to the Board one director designated by the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the exclusive right to remove or replace the director designated by the Stockholders’ Representative to the Board. Upon appointment or election to the Board, the Corporation agrees to promptly appoint the director designated by the Stockholders’ Representative to serve on each committee of the Board, subject in each case to meeting the applicable requirements for service on such committee as set forth in the listing rules of NASDAQ, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines applicable to all of the members of such committee and such committee’s charter.

Section 13.Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing one or more shares of any Series B Preferred Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor, its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such Capital Stock represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. Dividends shall accrue on any Series B Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date with respect to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

Section 00.Xxx Matters.

(a)Withholding. All payments and distributions (or deemed payments and distributions) on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to withholding and backup withholding of tax to the extent required by law, subject to applicable exemptions, and amounts withheld, if any, shall be treated as received by holders. The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any direct or indirect withholding taxes that may become due in connection with any payment or distribution (or deemed payment or distribution) on the Series B Preferred Stock; provided that such cooperation does not cause material detriment to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. The Corporation shall not withhold any U.S. federal income taxes with respect to a holder if such holder provides a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, unless otherwise required pursuant to a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof. Any payments by the Corporation in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made out of funds legally available for payment thereof and shall only be made to the extent that the payment thereof would not cause the Corporation to be rendered

A-10

insolvent or to violate any law to which the Corporation is subject.

(b)Calculation of Redemption Premium. Notwithstanding Section 7(b), for purposes of determining “redemption premium” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5(b), the redemption price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $1,000.

(c)Cooperation. Prior to issuing any Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 or reporting any other income or payment pursuant to Section 305 of the Code, in each case with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a draft of such reporting statement and the underlying calculations for such holders’ review and approval. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not take an inconsistent position with respect to such reporting as approved by the Stockholders’ Representative in any tax return or in connection with any tax audit. If at any time the Corporation believes it is not permitted under law to take a position approved by the Stockholders’ Representative in any tax return or any tax audit, then the Corporation shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative in writing of such disagreement and cooperate, and direct its Affiliates and representatives to cooperate, in good faith with the Stockholders’ Representative to give effect to such approved position to the greatest extent possible.

(d)The Corporation agrees that the Series B Preferred Stock is not “fast pay stock” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7701(l)-3(b) and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

Section 15.Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation may deem and treat the record holder of any share of the Series B Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 16.Notices.

(a)To Holders. All public announcements, notices or communications to the holders of, or otherwise in respect of, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be given or delivered for purposes of this Certificate of Designations if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid. All notices or communications shall also be given or delivered for purposes of this Certificate of Designations if given or delivered in such manner as may be permitted in this Certificate of Designations, in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or by applicable law or regulation. Furthermore, if the Series B Preferred Stock is issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any similar facility, such notices may be given or delivered to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in any manner permitted by such facility and such notices will be deemed given and delivered in compliance with this Certificate of Designations.

(b)To the Corporation. All notices or communications to the Corporation shall be deemed given and delivered to the Corporation if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid to the Corporation’s principal place of business.

The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as expressly set forth herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law and regulation.

Section 18.Remedies. The remedies available to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock under this Certificate of Designations shall be in addition to any other remedy to which such holders are entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue any such remedy shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the holders of Series B Preferred Stock from seeking to pursue any other remedy to which it is entitled under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity. Payment of the Optional Redemption Price or Mandatory Redemption, as applicable, in respect of a share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be in full satisfaction of any claim or remedy of a holder thereof in respect of such share of Series B Preferred Stock.

Section 00.Xxx Treatment of Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation and the holders shall treat the Series B Preferred Stock as equity for all applicable U.S. federal income, state and local income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable law occurring after the date hereof. For so long as any holder holds Series B Preferred Stock, such holder shall be a United States person for U.S. federal tax purposes that is eligible to, and that does, deliver a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 to the Corporation or any applicable withholding agent thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no holder shall be entitled to transfer any Series B Preferred Stock to any person that is not a United States person for U.S. federal tax purposes, and any such transfer shall be void ab initio.

Section 20.Non-Circumvention. The Corporation shall not seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of

A-11

the terms of this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, by amending its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designations has been executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chief Executive Officer this 14th day of May, 2019.

3.	Exercise of Warrant.

(a)Exercise Procedure. This Warrant may be exercised for any or all unexercised Warrant Shares upon:

(i)surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction), together with a notice of exercise (each a “Notice of Exercise”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly completed (including specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased) and executed; and

(ii)payment to the Company of the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 3(b).

(b)Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder as expressed in the Notice of Exercise, by the following methods:

(i)by delivery to the Company of a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;

(ii)by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price; or


(iii)	any combination of the foregoing.

In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such

incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share as of the Exercise Date.

(c)Delivery of Stock Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares. Upon receipt by the Company of a Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, at the option of the Holder, either (i) execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise or (ii) cause to be issued to such Holder by entry on the books of the Company (or the Company’s transfer agent, if any) the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, in each

B-4

case, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 3(b). The stock certificate or certificates or book-entry interests of Warrant Shares so delivered or issued, as the case may be, shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the exercising Holder shall reasonably request in the Notice of Exercise and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to compliance with Section 5 below, such other Person's name as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates or book-entry interests of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

(d)Delivery of New Warrant. Unless the purchase rights represented by this Warrant shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates or book-entry interests representing the Warrant Shares being issued in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexpired and unexercised Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant. Such new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.

(e)Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares; Payment of Taxes. With respect to the exercise of this Warrant, the Company hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

(i)This Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued.

(ii)All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be, upon issuance, and the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that such Warrant Shares are, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all taxes, liens and charges.

(iii)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock or other securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

(iv)The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(f)Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or treasury shares constituting Warrant Shares, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, and the par value per Warrant Share shall at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Exercise Price. The Company shall not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4.Adjustments. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Warrant Share Number issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment (an “Adjustment”) from time to time as provided in this Section 4 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4).

(a)Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Stock, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, in each case other than any such transaction covered by Section 4(b), Section 4(c), or Section 4(d), the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased so

B-5

that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any event described above, had this Warrant been exercised or converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any event described above, had this Warrant been exercised or converted immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. Any Adjustment under this Section 4(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-dividend Date for such dividend or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such subdivision or combination.

(b)Adjustment Upon Cash Distributions and Other Distributions. If the Company distributes to the holders of Common Stock, (x) cash or any other property or securities, or (y) any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing (other than, in each case set forth in clause (x) and clause (y), any dividend or distribution described in Section 4(a) or Section 4(d)), then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, no repurchase or redemption by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any securities of the Company shall be considered a distribution.

(c)Adjustment Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person, (v) Deemed Liquidation Event or (vi) other similar transaction, in each case which entitles all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, cash or other assets or consideration with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, be canceled (without any action of the Holder and regardless of any limitation or restriction on the exercisability of this Warrant that may otherwise be applicable) with the Holder entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of stock, securities, cash or other assets or consideration resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled as a holder of the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant). The Company shall make provision for compliance with this Section 4(c) in the agreements, if any, relating to such transactions, if necessary to give effect to this Section 4(c).

(d)Adjustment of Warrant Upon Spin-off. If, at any time after the issuance of this Warrant but prior to the exercise hereof, the Company shall spin-off another Person (the “Spin-off Entity”), then the Company (a) shall issue to the Holder a new warrant to purchase, at the Exercise Price, the number of shares of common stock or other proprietary interest in the Spin-off Entity (and any other consideration) that the Holder would have owned had the Holder exercised or converted this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such spin-off and (b) shall make provision therefor in the agreement, if any, relating to such spin-off. Such new warrant shall provide for rights and obligations which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the rights and obligations provided for in this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4(d) (and any equivalent thereof in any such new warrant) shall apply to successive transactions.


(e)	Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i)As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an officer of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail such Adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a

B-6

certificate of an officer of the Company certifying the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.


(f)	Notices. In the event:

(i)that the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution (including any spin-off); or

(ii)of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another Person;

(iii)of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding- up of the Company; or

(iv)

any other event that may cause an Adjustment; then, and in each such case, the Company shall send or cause to be sent to the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days or, if less, as soon as practicable, prior to the applicable Ex- dividend Date, record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the Ex-dividend Date, the record date for such dividend or distribution, and a description of such dividend or distribution, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or other event is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or other event, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.

(g)In the event that more than one Adjustment is required to be made in connection with an event or series of events, the Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4 shall be applied in such order as to provide the holders of the Warrants with the benefits to which they would have been entitled had the Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the earliest record date for such events.

5.Transfer of Warrant. Subject to the transfer conditions referred to in the legend endorsed hereon and in Section 9, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are and will be transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder without charge to the Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its then principal executive offices with a properly completed and duly executed assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, together with funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes described in the proviso to Section 3(e)(iv) in connection with the making of such transfer. Upon such compliance, surrender and delivery and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant, if any, not so assigned and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

6.Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder; Limitations on Liability. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company until the Holder has received Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends (except as set forth in Section 5) or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

Such new Warrant or Warrants shall be of like tenor to the surrendered Warrant or Warrants and shall be exercisable in the aggregate for an equivalent number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant or Warrants so surrendered in accordance with such notice.

This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES, IF ANY, ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:

(i)REPRESENTS THAT IT IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION D AS PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND

a.TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR

b.PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

c.PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

B-8

REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.”

The requirement imposed by this Section 9 shall cease and terminate as to this Warrant or any particular Warrant Share when, in the written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, such legend is no longer required in order to assure compliance by the Company with the Securities Act. Wherever such requirement shall cease and terminate as to this Warrant or any Warrant Share, the Holder or the holder of such Warrant Share, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, a new warrant or a new stock certificate, as the case may be, not bearing the legend set forth in this Section 9.

(b)Representations of the Holder. In connection with the issuance of this Warrant, the Holder specifically represents, as of the date hereof, to the Company by acceptance of this Warrant as follows:

(i)The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof for investment for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

(ii)The Holder understands and acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

(iii)The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic and financial risk of its investment for an indefinite period, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Warrant and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.

10.Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that (i) the Warrant shall be treated as common equity of the Company for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes and (ii) the exchange of the Warrant for Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3 shall be treated as a recapitalization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used in this Exhibit C (this “Exhibit”) and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Equity Commitment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of May 14, 2019, by and among the Company and the Commitment Parties thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 1.2 (Construction) of the Agreement shall apply to this Exhibit, mutatis mutandis.

The Company, on behalf of itself and each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, represents and warrants to each Commitment Party, as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Closing, as follows:

(a)Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are entities duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and each has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than the Persons set forth on Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), the Company has no Subsidiaries and does not own Capital Stock in any other Person.

(b)Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Agreement and the other Definitive Documents, to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities (as defined below) in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the Agreement and the other Definitive Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Securities and the reservation for issuance and issuance of Common Stock (as defined below) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Warrant Certificate) have been duly authorized by the Company, and such authorization has not been, and as of the Closing will not have been, subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, and (other than the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the amended Registration Rights Agreement and Form D, if applicable, and the filing of the Certificate of Designations pursuant to and in accordance with the Agreement), no further filing, consent or authorization is or will be required to be made by or on behalf of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective boards of directors, stockholders or other governing bodies in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Documents. The Agreement has been, and the other Definitive Documents to which the Company is a party will be, prior to the Closing, duly executed and delivered by the Company, and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by applicable federal or state securities Law (the “General Enforceability Exceptions”). At or prior to the Closing, the Company will cause the Certificate of Designations to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Company will ensure that, at and as of the Closing, the Certificate of Designations will be in full force and effect, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms and will not have been amended or modified. “Securities” means the Series B Preferred Stock and the Warrants (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants), in each case, that will be delivered to each of the Commitment Parties at the Closing.

(c)Issuance of Securities. The issuance of the Securities is duly authorized, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Definitive Documents will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent such concepts are

The issuances of the Securities in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Documents are in compliance, in all respects, with all applicable Laws, and the Securities are not subject to, and will not be issued in violation of, any purchase options, call options, rights of first refusal, preemptive rights, subscription rights or any similar rights under applicable Law, the Company Organizational Documents or any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound. Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Commitment Parties set forth in Article IV of the Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. As of the Closing, the Company will have reserved from its duly authorized Capital Stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock authorized under its Certificate of Incorporation that are available after giving effect to shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. Upon the issuance of Common Stock following an exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Certificate, such Common Stock, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all Liens with respect to the, with the holders thereof being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. “Company Organizational Documents” mean the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended through the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Company’s bylaws, as amended through the date hereof (the “Bylaws”).

The execution, delivery and performance of the Definitive Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the issuance of the Securities and the reservation for issuance and issuance of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Certificate) will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation contained therein), Bylaws, certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group Companies Organizational Documents”), or any Capital Stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (after receiving a consent from the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Contract that would be required to be filed by the Company as a “material contract” pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act (a “Material Contract”) or other agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or (iii) result in a material violation of any Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, foreign, federal and state securities Laws and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market) or Order that would be material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with (other than the filing with the SEC of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the amended Registration Rights Agreement and Form D, if applicable, and the filing of the Certificate of Designations and making any required filings with the Principal Market), any Governmental Entity or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or contemplated by the Definitive Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. To the Company’s Knowledge, no facts or circumstances exist which might prevent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from obtaining or effecting any of the registrations, applications or filings contemplated by the Definitive Documents.

The Company further acknowledges that no Commitment Party is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Definitive Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, and any advice given by a Commitment Party or any of its Representatives in connection with the Definitive Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to such Commitment Party’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Commitment Party that the Company’s decision to enter into the Definitive Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent

C-2

evaluation by the Company and its Representatives.

(g)No General Solicitation; Agents’ Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Representatives or any other Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, their Affiliates, Representatives nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities pursuant to the Definitive Documents to be integrated with other offerings of securities of the Company.

(i)Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary actions, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement), stockholder rights plan or other similar anti-takeover provision under any of the Group Companies Organizational Documents or the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise which is or could become applicable to any Commitment Party as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Documents, including the Company’s issuance of the Securities and ownership by any Commitment Party of the Securities. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(j)SEC Documents; Financial Statements. During the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act or the Securities Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered or has made available to the Commitment Parties true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Documents not available on the XXXXX system. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, in each case, applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the Company’s Subsidiaries is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect to any of the SEC Documents. To the Company’s Knowledge, no SEC Document is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC investigation. As of their respective dates, the audited and unaudited financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents (including, in each case, the notes thereto, the “Financial Statements”) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such Financial Statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). The reserves, if any, established by the Company or the lack of reserves, if applicable, are reasonable based upon facts and circumstances known by the Company on the date hereof, and there are no loss contingencies that are required to be accrued by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which are not provided for by the Company in the Financial Statements. No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any of the Commitment Parties which is not included in the SEC Documents

C-3

The Company is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements (including any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the Company with respect thereto), nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, do there exist any facts or circumstances which would require the Company to amend or restate any of the Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and does not plan to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

(l)No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances. Except with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Documents, or in the SEC Documents, since the 10-K Date, no event, liability, obligation, development or circumstance (whether absolute, accrued, contingent, fixed or otherwise) has occurred or existed, or is reasonably expected to exist or occur with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or condition (financial or otherwise), that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(m)Conduct of Business; Regulatory Permits. Except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default under its Certificate of Incorporation, any certificate of designation, preferences or rights of any other outstanding series of preferred stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the other Group Companies Organizational Documents, respectively.

(i)has received in the last three (3) years a notification or communication from any Governmental Entity asserting that it is not or has not been in compliance with any applicable Law or Order and

(ii)will conduct its business in violation of any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements

C-4

of the Principal Market, and has no Knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal Market in the foreseeable future. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, during the two (2) years prior to the date hereof, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market and (iii) the Company has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal Market regarding the suspension or delisting of the Common Stock from the Principal Market. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate Governmental Entity necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, authorization or permit.

All premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance policies maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been paid in full. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on substantially the same terms as now in effect. Excluding insurance policies that have expired and been replaced in the ordinary course of business, no such insurance policy of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been, or has been threatened to be, cancelled by the applicable insurer in the past three (3) years, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of cancellation or non-renewal of any such insurance policy.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign Laws respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
