(a)Mandatory Shelf Registration.

As set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company agrees to file with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable following the effectiveness of the Company’s Form 10 (but in no event later than May 15, 2020), a shelf Resale Registration Statement on Form N-2, or such other form under the Securities Act then available to the Company, providing for the resale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 415, from time to time, by the Holders (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after the initial filing thereof (but in no event later than December 31, 2020) and to cause the Registrable Shares to be listed on a National Securities Exchange concurrently with the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement. Any Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for the resale, from time to time, of any and all Registrable Shares by the Holders pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available and customarily used (including, without limitation, a block trade, an Underwritten Offering, a forward sale, an option, a short sale, a put, a call or other derivative transaction, a direct sale to purchasers or a sale through brokers or agents, which may include sales over the internet). Nothing in this Section 2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to modify in any way any agreement (with the Company or with any underwriter) by any Holder not to sell Registrable Shares for any period of time, including pursuant to Section 7 hereof.

5

(b)IPO Registration.

(i)Filing and Inclusion of Registrable Shares. If the Company proposes to file a registration statement on Form N-2 or such other form under the Securities Act providing for the initial public offering of the Common Stock (the “IPO Registration Statement”), the Company will notify in writing each Holder of the filing before (but no earlier than ten (10) Business Days before) or within five (5) Business Days after the initial filing, and afford each Holder an opportunity to include in the IPO Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in the IPO Registration Statement all or any part of the Registrable Shares held by such Holder shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing (the “Inclusion Notice”), and in such Inclusion Notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Shares such Holder wishes to include in the IPO Registration Statement. Any election by any Holder to include any Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement will not affect the inclusion of such Registrable Shares in the Shelf Registration Statement until such Registrable Shares have been sold under the IPO Registration Statement.

(ii)Right to Terminate IPO Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw the IPO Registration Statement prior to the effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement; provided, however, the Company must provide each Holder that elected to include any Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement prompt written notice of such termination or withdrawal. Furthermore, in addition to actions required of the Company pursuant to Section 2(b)(i), in the event the IPO Registration Statement is not declared effective within one hundred twenty (120) days following the initial filing of the IPO Registration Statement, unless a road show for the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement is actually in progress at such time or such IPO Registration Statement has been terminated or withdrawn pursuant to this Section 2(b)(ii), the Company shall promptly provide a new written notice to all Holders giving them an additional opportunity to submit an Inclusion Notice and elect to include their Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement as described above in clause (b)(i).

6

(iii)          Shelf Registration Not Impacted by IPO Registration Statement. The Company’s obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof shall not be affected by the filing or effectiveness of the IPO Registration Statement. In addition, the Company’s obligation to file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become and keep effective the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof shall not be affected by the filing or effectiveness of an IPO Registration Statement.

(c)Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares that are included in a Resale Registration Statement at such time or the consent of the lead managing underwriter in connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Shares, and each Holder represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and, in connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Shares, the consent of the lead managing underwriter of such Underwritten Offering, it shall not make any offer relating to the Registrable Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. The Company represents that any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus will not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in any Resale Registration Statement or the related Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when taken together with the information in such Resale Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)Underwriting. The Company shall advise all Holders who have provided an Inclusion Notice to include any Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement of the Lead Bookrunner(s) for the Underwritten Offering proposed under the IPO Registration Statement. The right of any such Holder to include Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Shares through such Underwritten Offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering and complete, execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, any questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, securities escrow agreements and other documents, including opinions of counsel, reasonably required under the terms of such Underwritten Offering, and furnish to the Company such information in writing as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Resale Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law or reasonably requested by the underwriters.

Notwithstanding Section 7(d) hereof, by electing to include Registrable Shares in the IPO Registration Statement, the Holder of such Registrable Shares shall be deemed to have agreed not to effect any public sale or distribution of securities of the Company of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in the IPO Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, during such periods as reasonably requested (but in no event for a period longer than the period specified in Section 7 hereof) by the representatives of the underwriters, in an Underwritten Offering, or by the Company in any other registration.

7

If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter(s), delivered by not later than the effective time of the IPO Registration Statement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be included, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Shares) from the IPO Registration Statement and Underwritten Offering, and any shares included in such IPO Registration Statement and Underwritten Offering shall be allocated first (subject to the last proviso of this paragraph), to the Company for shares to be sold in a primary offering for its own account, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Shares in such IPO Registration Statement (on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Shares then held by each such Holder who is requesting inclusion); provided, however, that the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the IPO Registration Statement shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company held by (i) officers, directors, other employees of the Company and consultants and (ii) other holders of the Company’s capital stock with registration rights that are inferior (with respect to such reduction) to the registration rights of each of the Holders set forth herein, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration; provided, further, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, selling shareholders shall be permitted to include shares comprising at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total securities included in the Underwritten Offering proposed under the IPO Registration Statement.

(e)Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of Registrable Shares sold in such registration) of all discounts and commissions payable to underwriters or brokers and all transfer taxes and transfer fees, if any, in connection with a registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)JOBS ACT Submissions. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Company elects to confidentially submit a draft of the Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission pursuant to the JOBS Act, the date on which the Company makes such confidential submission shall be deemed the initial filing date of such Shelf Registration Statement.

3. RULES 144 AND 144A REPORTING

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the resale of the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, until such date as no Holder owns any Registrable Shares, the Company agrees to:

(d)hold, a reasonable time after the availability of such financial statements and upon reasonable notice to the Holders and KBW (either by mail, by posting on the Company’s website or by press release), a quarterly investor conference call to discuss such financial statements, which call will also include an opportunity for the Holders to ask questions of management with regard to such financial statements, and will also cooperate with, and make management reasonably available to, KBW personnel in connection with making Company information available to investors; and

(e)furnish to the Holder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Form 10 filed by the Company), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), and (ii) a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports of the Company.

5. BLACK-OUT PERIOD

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and a good faith determination by the Company that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the use of the Resale Registration Statement, following the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or state securities commissions), the Company, by written notice to the Review Parties with respect to such Resale Registration Statement and the Holders, may direct the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event (x) on more than two occasions during any rolling 12-month period, (y) for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any rolling twelve (12) month period or (z) for more than sixty (60) days in any rolling ninety (90) day period), if (i) the representative of the underwriters of an Underwritten Offering of primary shares by the Company has advised the Company that the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s primary Underwritten Offering, (ii) the Company shall have determined in good faith that (A) the offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination or other significant transaction involving the Company, (B) upon the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law or SEC Guidance, and (C) (1) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (2) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction or (3) renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the Resale Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Resale Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable, or (iii) the Company shall have determined in good faith, upon the advice of counsel, that it is required by law, rule or regulation or that it is in the best interests of the Company to supplement the Resale Registration Statement or file a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement in order to incorporate information into the Resale Registration Statement for the purpose of (A) including in the Resale Registration Statement any prospectus required under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (B) reflecting in the Prospectus included in the Resale Registration Statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement (or of the most recent post-effective amendment) that, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth therein or (C) including in the Prospectus included in the Resale Registration Statement any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Resale Registration Statement or any material change to such information. Upon the occurrence of any such suspension, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Resale Registration Statement on a post-effective basis or to take such other action or actions as necessary to make resumed use of the Resale Registration Statement compatible with the Company’s best interests, as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registrable Shares as soon as possible.

(b)In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Resale Registration Statement (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the Holders and the Review Parties with respect to such Resale Registration Statement to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is using commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the Resale Registration Statement as promptly as possible. The Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after they have received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). If so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and the Review Parties with respect to such Resale Registration Statement in the manner described above promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect.

17

(c)Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 5, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which the applicable Resale Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and shall provide copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.

6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

(a)The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder of Registrable Shares and any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder (including, if applicable, KBW), (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) any such Person described in clause (i) (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents of any such Person or any Controlling Person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above may hereinafter be referred to as a “Purchaser Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, actions, out-of-pocket expenses and other liabilities (the “Liabilities”), including without limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any suit, action, litigation, Proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened (each, an “Action”), including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Purchaser Indemnitee, joint or several, directly or indirectly related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with, (A) with respect to any Resale Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading or (B) with respect to any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any preliminary Prospectus or any other document used to sell the Registrable Shares, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for use therein. The Company shall notify each Purchaser Indemnitee promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Action of which it shall have become aware in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement that involves the Company or a Purchaser Indemnitee. The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee.

(b)In connection with any Resale Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Shares is participating, and as a condition to such participation, such Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and the respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents of such Person or Controlling Person to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Purchaser Indemnitee, but only with reference to Actions in respect of untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in such Resale Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus. The aggregate liability of any Holder pursuant to this paragraph and the contribution sections of this Section 6 shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus.

18

(c)If any Action shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses), and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in such Action and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to such Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such Action, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel (including local counsel), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel do not, in the sole judgment of the Indemnified Party, actively and vigorously pursue the defense of such action or (iv) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party, or any Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that, either (A) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party or (B) a conflict may exist between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume nor direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties. Such separate firm and local counsel shall be designated in writing by those Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the Registrable Shares sold by all such Indemnified Parties in the transaction subject to such Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

19

(d)If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein) or is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party(ies), on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Liabilities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party(ies) and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and any Purchaser Indemnitees, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser Indemnitees and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e)The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if such Indemnified Parties were treated as one entity for such purpose), or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Liabilities referred to in Section 6(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event shall a Purchaser Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Purchaser Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser Indemnitee has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. For purposes of this Section 6, each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) a Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the same rights to contribution as such Purchaser Indemnitee, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the Company, and each officer, director, partner, employee, representative, agent or manager of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any Action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation it or they may have under this Section 6 or otherwise, except to the extent that any party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

20

(f)The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties referred to above. The Purchaser Indemnitee’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Shares sold by each of the Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder and not joint.

7. MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENTS

(a)Each Holder owning Registrable Securities agrees that, in connection with an Underwritten Offering, except for sales in such Underwritten Offering, it will not effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 and pursuant to derivative transactions) of Common Stock in connection with an Underwritten Offering, during (A) the period commencing on the effective date of, and ending on the 60th day (180th day, in the case of an IPO) following, the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities in connection with such Underwritten Offering or (B) such shorter period as the underwriters with respect to such Underwritten Offering may require; provided that the duration of the restrictions described in this clause (i) shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company (or Persons in substantially equivalent positions) in connection with such Underwritten Offering.

(b)In connection with an Underwritten Offering, except for sales in such Underwritten Offering, the Company agrees that it shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its executive officers and directors to agree that they shall):

(i)not effect any public sale or distribution of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or Form N-14 or any similar or successor form under the Securities Act) during (A) the period commencing on the seventh day prior to the expected time of circulation of a preliminary prospectus with respect to such Underwritten Offering (or, if no preliminary prospectus is circulated, the commencement of any marketing efforts with respect to such Underwritten Offering), and ending on the 60th day (180th day, in the case of an IPO) following the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities in connection with such Underwritten Offering or (B) such shorter period as the underwriters with respect to such Underwritten Offering may require; and

21

(ii)to the extent requested by the underwriters participating in such Underwritten Offering, agree to include provisions in the relevant underwriting or other similar agreement giving effect to the restrictions described in clause (i) above, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such underwriters.

(c)The periods set forth in this Section 7 shall be extended to the extent necessary to comply with SEC Guidance, FINRA rules or other applicable laws, rules or regulations.

(d)the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any officer or director that entered into agreements that are no less restrictive (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to such officer or director by the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by such officer or director); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7(d) shall be construed as a right to proportionate release for the executive officers and directors of the Company upon the expiration of the period applicable to all Holders other than the executive officers and directors of the Company.

(e)this Section 7 shall not be applicable if a Shelf Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act has been declared effective prior to the filing of an IPO Registration Statement.

(f)In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the securities as subject to this Section 7 and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares and such other securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

8. LIMITATIONS ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Except as contemplated by Section 2(d), from and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder to (a) include such securities in any Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to the terms hereof, unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Shares of the Holders that is included or (b) have its securities registered on a registration statement that could be declared effective prior to, or within one hundred eighty (180) days of, the effective date of any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, the limitations in this Section 8 shall not apply to holders of Legacy Shares.

22

9. TERMINATION OF THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION

The Company shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to this Agreement if, (a) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by a Holder may be sold in a single transaction without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144, (b) the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days and is current in the filing of all such required reports and (c) the Registrable Shares have been listed for trading on a National Securities Exchange.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

(b)Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, KBW and each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein (or, in the case of KBW, in the Purchase/Placement Agreement) or granted by law, including the rights granted in Section 2(e) hereof and recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Subject to Section 6, the Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(c)Amendments and Waivers. Except as set forth otherwise herein, the provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without (i) the written consent of the Company and Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares or (ii) in the case of Section 2, the written consent of the Company and the Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares; provided, however, that any amendments, modifications or supplements to, or any waivers or consents to departures from, the provisions of Section 7 hereof that would have the effect of extending the sixty (60) or one hundred eighty (180) day periods referenced therein shall be approved by, and shall only be applicable to, those Holders who provide written consent to such extension to the Company. No amendment shall be deemed effective unless it applies uniformly to all Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to or departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Resale Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders may be given by such Holder; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first and second sentences of this paragraph.
