executed and delivered by the Seller. Assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its
terms.
Section 2.2 The Shares. The Seller is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares. Except for this Agreement, there is no agreement, arrangement or
understanding with any other Person regarding the sale or transfer of any Shares, and there exist no liens, claims, options, proxies, voting agreements, charges or encumbrances of any kind affecting the Shares, other than any restrictions on
transfer that may be imposed by Law. Upon transfer of the Shares to the Purchaser at the Closing against payment of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser will acquire ownership of the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims, options, proxies,
voting agreements, charges or encumbrances of any kind affecting the Shares, other than any restrictions on transfer that may be imposed by Law.
2
Section 2.3 Investment Purpose; Affiliate Status; Holding Period. The Seller represents that it (a) acquired the Shares for investment purposes only and not

indirectly, including through a broker or finder engaged in any general solicitation relating to the purchase of the Shares; and (b) the Purchase Price was determined through private arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Seller,
and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller is under any obligation or compulsion to enter into this Agreement.
Section 2.5 Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not (i) violate, conflict with, or result in the breach, acceleration,
default or termination of, or otherwise give any other contracting party the right to terminate, accelerate, modify or cancel any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the organizational documents of the Seller or any material agreements or

commission for such person’s participation in the offer or sale of the Shares, including solicitation of purchasers for the Seller, is subject to an event that would disqualify an issuer or other covered person under Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D
or is subject to a statutory disqualification described under Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Section 2.8 Excluded Information.
(a) The Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser may be an existing stockholder of the Company and that the Purchaser may have
access to and may possess nonpublic information regarding the Company not known to the other party (the “Excluded Information”). The Excluded Information may or may not be material, may or may not have been publicly disclosed by or on
behalf of the Company or the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, and may or may not be available to the Seller from sources other than the Company or the Purchaser. Such Excluded Information may include information received (A) by the Purchaser or
its Representatives in their capacities as directors, stockholders or affiliates of the Company, (B) from the Company on a confidential basis, or (C) on a privileged basis from the attorneys, financial advisers or other
3
Representatives of the Company. Although such Excluded Information may be indicative of a value of the Shares that is substantially different
than the Purchase Price, the Seller is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in trading securities of public and private companies and understands the disadvantages to which the Seller may be subject on account of the disparity of
information as between the Purchaser and the Seller, and the Seller has nonetheless deemed it appropriate to engage in the sale of the Shares hereunder. In respect of this Section 2.8, the Seller further represents, warrants and acknowledges that
it: (a) is a sophisticated seller with respect to its Shares, (b) has adequate information concerning its Shares, (c) has conducted, to the extent it deemed necessary, an independent investigation of such matters as, in its judgment, is necessary
for it to make an informed investment decision with respect to the sale of its Shares to the Purchaser and with respect to the Purchaser as the buyer of its Shares, and (d) has not relied upon the Purchaser for any investigation into, assessment
of, or evaluation with respect to the sale of its Shares to the Purchaser or with respect to the Purchaser as the purchaser of the Shares.
(b) The Seller hereby:
(1) agrees that neither the Purchaser nor its directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members, investors,
employees, attorneys, agents or Representatives shall have any liability to the Seller or its affiliates with respect to the existence, possession or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information, whether arising directly or indirectly, primarily or
secondarily, by contract or operation of law or otherwise, including as a matter of contribution, indemnification, set-off, rescission, or reimbursement;
(2) waives any right, claim or cause of action, at law or in equity,
arising from or relating to, directly or indirectly, the existence, possession or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information, including without limitation pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20A of the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to a seller of securities with respect to the Shares to the maximum extent permitted by law, as well
as all rights to participate in any claim, action or remedy others may now or hereafter have with respect to the foregoing; and
(3) with respect to the disposition and sale of the Shares, releases and
discharges the Purchaser and its directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members, investors, employees, attorneys, agents or Representatives and all successors and assigns thereto (each a “Purchaser Released Party”) of and from
any and all suits, demands, obligations, liabilities, claims and causes of action, contingent or otherwise, of every kind and nature, at law and in equity, which the Seller and/or its affiliates, successors or assigns may have against any
Purchaser Released Party, to the extent arising from or in connection with the existence, possession or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information whether asserted, unasserted, absolute, contingent, known or unknown.
4
(c) The Seller hereby represents to each Purchaser Released Party that (i) it has not assigned any claim or possible claim
against the Purchaser Released Parties, (ii) it fully intends to release all claims against the Purchaser Released Parties as set forth above, and (iii) it has been advised by, and has consulted with, counsel with respect to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and has been fully apprised of the consequences of the waivers and releases set forth in this Section 2.8.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER
The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller as follows:
Section 3.1 Authorization of Agreement. The Purchaser has the power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and
all action necessary on the part of the Purchaser to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction has been duly and validly taken. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Purchaser. Assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Seller, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its
terms.
Section 3.2 Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not (i) violate, conflict with, or result in the breach, acceleration,
default or termination of, or otherwise give any other contracting party the right to terminate, accelerate, modify or cancel any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or any material agreements or
instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it or its assets may be bound, or (ii) constitute a violation of any material applicable Law.
Section 3.3 Investment Experience. Purchaser is a sophisticated investor and has (a) by reason of its business and
financial experience, the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares hereunder, (b) such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable Purchaser to evaluate the merits and risks
associated with the purchase of the Shares hereunder and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto, (c) adequate information concerning the Shares, (d) conducted, to the extent it deemed necessary, an independent investigation of
such matters as, in its judgment, is necessary for it to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares and the purchase of the Shares hereunder, and (e) not relied upon the Seller for any investigation into, assessment of, or
evaluation with respect to the Shares and/or the purchase of the Shares hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser has reviewed with its own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of its
investment in the Shares and the Transaction. The Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Seller or any of its agents regarding the tax consequences of the Transaction. The Purchaser
understands that it (and not the Seller) shall be responsible for the Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of its investment in the Shares and the Transaction.
Section 3.4 No General Solicitation, etc. The Purchaser acknowledges that (a) neither the Seller nor any of its Representatives has either directly or
indirectly, including through a broker or finder engaged in any general solicitation relating to the sale of the Shares; and (b) the Purchase Price was determined through private arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Seller and
neither the Purchaser nor the Seller is under any obligation or compulsion to enter into this Agreement.
5
Section 3.5 Opportunity to Seek Counsel. The Purchaser has (a) had an opportunity to review and consider this Agreement
before signing it, (b) consulted with its own attorney(s) and confidential advisors before signing this Agreement, and (c) read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 3.6 No View to Distribution; Accredited Investor. The Purchaser represents that it is buying the Shares (a) as principal, for its own accounts for
investment only and not as a broker or agent for another party and (b) not with a view or any present intention toward effecting a distribution or resale in violation of any applicable securities laws. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as
such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Section 3.7 Blue Sky Laws; Future Transfer. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or
qualified under any state security laws (“Blue Sky Laws”) and may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by the Purchaser without compliance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are being transferred hereby under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and Blue Sky Laws which impose certain restrictions on the Purchaser’s
ability to transfer the Shares. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including without limitation the applicable holding periods thereunder.
Section 3.8 Broker’s Fees. The Purchaser has no liability or obligation to pay any fees or commissions to
any broker, finder or agent with respect to the Transaction.
Section 3.9 Excluded Information.
(a) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller is an existing stockholder of the Company and that the Seller may have
access to and may possess Excluded Information. The Excluded Information may or may not be material, may or may not have been publicly disclosed by or on behalf of the Company or the Seller, directly or indirectly, and may or may not be available
to the Purchaser from sources other than the Company or the Seller. Such Excluded Information may include information received (A) by the Seller or its Representatives in their capacities as directors, officers, stockholders or affiliates of the
Company, (B) from the Company on a confidential basis, or (C) on a privileged basis from the attorneys, financial advisers or other Representatives of the Company. Although such Excluded Information may be indicative of a value of the Shares that
is substantially different than the Purchase Price, the Purchaser is experienced, sophisticated and knowledgeable in trading securities of public and private companies and understands the disadvantages to which the Purchaser may be subject on
account of the disparity of information as between the Purchaser and the Seller, and the Purchaser has nonetheless deemed it appropriate to engage in the purchase of the Shares hereunder.
(b) The Purchaser hereby:
6
(1) agrees that neither the Seller nor its directors, officers,
partners, stockholders, members, investors, employees, attorneys, agents or Representatives shall have any liability to the Purchaser or its affiliates with respect to the existence, possession or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information,
whether arising directly or indirectly, primarily or secondarily, by contract or operation of law or otherwise, including as a matter of contribution, indemnification, set-off, rescission, or reimbursement;
(2) waives any right, claim or cause of action, at law or in equity,
arising from or relating to, directly or indirectly, the existence, possession or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information, including without limitation pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20A of the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, as well as all rights to participate in any claim, action or remedy others may now or hereafter have with respect to the foregoing; and
(3) with respect to the disposition and sale of the Shares, releases and
discharges the Seller and its directors, officers, partners, stockholders, members, investors, employees, attorneys, agents or Representatives and all successors and assigns thereto (each a “Seller Released Party”) of and from any and all
suits, demands, obligations, liabilities, claims and causes of action, contingent or otherwise, of every kind and nature, at law and in equity, which the Purchaser and/or its affiliates, successors or assigns may have against any Seller Released
Party, to the extent arising from or in connection with the existence, possession or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information whether asserted, unasserted, absolute, contingent, known or unknown.
(c) The Purchaser hereby represents to each Seller Released Party that (i) it has not assigned any claim or possible claim
against the Seller Released Parties, (ii) it fully intends to release all claims against the Seller Released Parties as set forth above, and (iii) it has been advised by, and has consulted with, counsel with respect to the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and has been fully apprised of the consequences of the waivers and releases set forth in this Section 3.9.

any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.

Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (including its statutes of limitations), without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Each party irrevocably submits to the

Transaction. Each party agrees (a) to commence any such Action in such courts and (b) that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth on the signature page hereto shall
be effective service of process with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 4.6. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives (i) any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action in such courts,
or that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (ii) all right to trial by jury in any such Action.
Section 4.7 No Other Representations; No Liability. Each party acknowledges that the representations and warranties of
the other party expressly and specifically set forth herein constitute such other party’s sole and exclusive representations and warranties in connection with the Transaction, and further agrees that all other representations and warranties of any
kind or nature express or implied are specifically disclaimed. Except for each Party’s rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement, each party hereby irrevocably waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all Actions it
has or may have against any other party, or any of its Representatives directly or indirectly based upon, relating to, or arising out of the Transaction, including any Action, whether under applicable securities Law or otherwise, directly or
indirectly based upon, relating to, or arising out of the knowledge, possession, use or non-disclosure of any Excluded Information by such other party or any of its Representatives.
