2.Closing.
a.The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely on May 8, 2026, or such other date as is mutually agreed upon, orally or in writing, between the parties hereto so long as such date occurs prior to the Outside Date (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below.

The Investor acknowledges that the Company offered to make certain non-public information available to the Investor subject to customary trading restrictions and non-disclosure requirements.
j.The Investor acknowledges that certain information provided to it was based on forecasts. The Investor understands and agrees that such forecasts were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Consequently, Investor acknowledges and agrees that actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forecasts and that the Company does not guarantee the accuracy of any such forecasts. The Investor acknowledges that all forward-looking information and forecasts were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or forecasts.
k.The Investor became aware of this offering of the Securities solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Securities were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company.

The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the Securities. The Investor will not look to TD Securities (USA), LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. or any of their respective affiliates, in each’s capacity as placement agent (collectively, the “Placement Agents”), for all or part of any such loss or losses the Investor may suffer. Investor represents that: (i) it is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Securities; (ii) has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Securities; and (iii) has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the Securities.

Investor represents that it is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in the Company. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
n.In making its decision to purchase the Securities, the Investor has relied solely upon its own independent investigation and that of its advisors, if any. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied (and disclaims reliance) on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning the Company, the Transaction, this Subscription Agreement, the Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities.
o.The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons: (i) have not provided the Investor with any information or advice with respect to the Securities; (ii) have not made or make any representation, express or implied as to the Company, the Company’s credit quality, the Securities or the Investor’s purchase of the Securities; (iii) have not acted as the Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary in connection with the issue and purchase of Securities; (iv) may have acquired, or during the term of the Securities may acquire, non-public information with respect to the Company, which, subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Investor agrees need not be provided to it; (v) may have existing or future business relationships with the Company (including, but not limited to, lending, depository, risk management, advisory and banking relationships); (vi) will pursue actions and take steps that it deems or they deem necessary or appropriate to protect its or their interests arising therefrom without regard to the consequences for a holder of Securities, and that certain of these actions may have material and adverse consequences for a holder of Securities.

r.The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement are within the Investor’s powers, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the legal authority of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligation under this Subscription Agreement. If the Investor is not an individual, the execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Subscription Agreement will not violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine. If the Investor is an individual, the signatory has legal competence and Investor has the capacity to execute this Subscription Agreement. If the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute this Subscription Agreement. Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

w.The Investor, when required to deliver payment to the Company pursuant to Section 2 above, will have sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
x.Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Investor has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Investor first became aware of the potential Transaction from the Company or any other Person representing the Company and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
y.The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of the Investor and its affiliates.
z.If the Investor is or is acting on behalf of: (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); (ii) a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”); or (iv) an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws,” and together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), the Investor represents and warrants that (A) neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has provided investment advice or has otherwise acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Securities; (B) none of the parties to the Transaction is or shall at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision in connection with the Investor’s investment in the Securities; and (C) its purchase of the Securities will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable Similar Law.
7.Registration Rights.

a.On or prior to the Closing Date, and in no event later than 30 calendar days after the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will endeavor to file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration
14


Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) five (5) business days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC requires that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to cause the Company to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company, in which case the Company’s obligation to register the Shares will be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. The Company’s obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Company held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Shares. Investor shall also execute documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the obligations of the Company under this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. Upon notification by the SEC that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, within one (1) business day thereafter, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The Company agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of: (i) the second anniversary of the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement registering all Shares for resale by the Investor; (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement; or (iii) the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner of sale limitations. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale the number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In the event the Company amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended.
15


b.For as long as the Investor holds the Warrant or, if shorter, through the date of expiration, or redemption or termination of the Warrant in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Warrant Shares for listing on the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed. For as long as the Investor holds Warrant or, if shorter, through the date of expiration, or redemption or termination of the Warrant in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable the Investor to resell the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor), as applicable.
c.The Company may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that either in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act (a “Suspension Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days, not more than twice or more than a total of ninety (90) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (ii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in connection with any sale of Shares where, following such sale, subsequent public distribution of such shares shall not require registration under the Securities Act.
d.The Company shall remove any restrictive legend included on the certificates (or, in the case of book-entry shares, any other instrument or record) representing the Investor’s ownership of the Shares, and the Company shall issue a certificate (or evidence of the issuance of such securities in book-entry form) without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the Investor, if: (i) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to the effective Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 where, following such sale, subsequent public distribution of such shares shall not require registration under the Securities Act; or (ii) such Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Following Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of such Shares without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company, upon the written request of Investor and after providing the Company with all customary documentation, shall instruct the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend from such Shares (in whatever form) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the transfer agent.
e.At its expense, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the Investor within five (5) business days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included in such Registration Statement or for additional information; (iii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
16


effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide written notice of the happening of any of the foregoing or of a Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading. The notice sent by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not contain any material non-public information other than the description of such event, which the parties agree may constitute material non-public information. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (i) through (v) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted under this Agreement to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included in such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
f.For purposes of this Section 7:
(i)“Shares” shall include, as of any date of determination, (A) the Shares, (B) the Warrant Shares and (C) any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Shares or Warrant Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event.
(ii)“Investor” shall include any person or entity to which the rights under this Section 7 shall have been duly assigned.
g.Notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, and employees of the Investor, each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable and documented costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) and reasonable and documented expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (or incorporated by reference) in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or
17


form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The indemnity obligation set forth in this Section 7(g) shall not apply, however, to the extent that any untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in any of the SEC filings referenced in this Section 7(g). The Company shall notify the Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Company is aware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company.
h.The Investor shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Investor, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, stockholders, or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor.
i.Any person or entity entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification under this Subscription Agreement to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. Without the consent of the indemnified party, no indemnifying party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
18


j.The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.
k.If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to in this Section 7, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, the amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(k) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties to this Subscription Agreement shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of: (a) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to terminate this Subscription Agreement; or (b) May 11, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), if the Closing has not occurred by such date other than as a result of a breach of Investor’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(b) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”). Nothing in this Subscription Agreement will relieve, however, any party from liability for any willful breach of this Subscription Agreement prior to the time of termination. Each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect (except that the provisions of Section 7(g) through (k), this Section 8, Sections 9 through 12 and Section 14 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of the Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely). Following the Termination Event, any monies paid by the Investor to the Company in connection with this Subscription Agreement shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) be returned to the Investor without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off.
9.Miscellaneous.
a.Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Securities acquired under this Subscription Agreement, if any) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement and all or a portion of the Investor’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to one or more funds or accounts managed by the same investment manager
19


as the Investor or by or to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such investment manager without the prior consent of the Company. Prior to such assignment being valid, any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall relieve the Investor of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.
b.The Company may request from the Investor such additional information as the Company deems reasonably necessary to register the resale of the Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities. Investor agrees to promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available. The Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Investor confidential except: (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Company is required to file under this Subscription Agreement; (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities; or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Company with such requested information, the Company may not be able to register the Investor’s Shares or Warrant Shares for resale pursuant to Section 7. Investor also agrees that, without any liability under this Subscription Agreement, the Company may reject the Investor’s Subscription Amount prior to the Closing Date in the event the Investor fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate the Investor’s eligibility or the Company determines that the Investor is not eligible. The Investor acknowledges that the Company may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of the Company.
c.The Investor acknowledges that the Company and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A.

e.This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Subscription Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy. Nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties under this Subscription Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the parties would otherwise have.
f.This Subscription Agreement (including Schedule A) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter of the Subscription Agreement.

g.Except as otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns. The agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
h.If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired by such court and shall continue in full force and effect so long as this Subscription Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Subscription Agreement and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
i.This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or any other form of electronic delivery (including.pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com or other transmission method)) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all
21


parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
j.The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Consequently, the parties acknowledge and agree that a party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement. The parties also acknowledge and agree that the foregoing equitable remedies shall be in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
k.This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as to all matters (including any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, mediation, claim, charge, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, audit, investigation or reviews by or before any governmental entity related), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.
l.Each party under this Subscription Agreement, and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary in accordance with Section 9(f) may do so only if he, she or it, irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement or any related document (“Legal Dispute”) shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, but only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware) (collectively the “Chosen Courts”). Each party under this Subscription Agreement consents to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party irrevocably waives, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in the Chosen Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 9(l) is pending before the Chosen Courts, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts. Each party and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that: (a) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason; (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts; (c) such party’s property is exempt or immune from execution; (d) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (e) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 9(l) following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
22


CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

24

Subject to Section 11, if disclosure is required pursuant the preceding sentence, the disclosing member of the Company Group will, as soon as practicable, notify the Investor of such requirement (except where prohibited by Applicable Law) so that the Investor (or its applicable affiliate) may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy prior to such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make disclosures to an auditor or governmental or regulatory authority pursuant to any routine investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry without providing the Investor with any notification thereof, unless the Investor is the subject of any such investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry (in which case the preceding sentence shall govern).
b.The Company, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the acquisition of the Securities and the execution and adoption of this Subscription Agreement are not intended to establish, and shall not establish, an investment advisory relationship by and among, (i) on the one hand, the Investor or any affiliate, or any of its or their members, owners, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives (each, an “Investor Party”), and (ii) on the other hand, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents or representatives (each, a “Company Party”), whereby any Investor Party serves as an investment adviser to any Company Party or that would otherwise result in any Investor Party meeting the definition of an investment adviser in Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, with respect to any Company Party. Further, the Company, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Company Parties are not relying upon any Investor Party for investment advice, analysis or recommendations regarding any investment or potential investment.
c.In the event the Investor or any of its affiliates directly or indirectly holds or otherwise beneficially owns or may otherwise be deemed to beneficially own any of the Company’s securities that are subject to beneficial ownership limitations as of the Closing Date and such securityholder may elect to opt out of or otherwise adjust such beneficial ownership limitations, the Investor agrees neither it nor any of its affiliates will elect to opt out of or otherwise reduce such beneficial ownership limitations until the earlier of (i) such time that any required filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“HSR Act”) have been made by the Company and such securityholder, as applicable, and the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) has expired or been terminated and (ii) such time that the Company and such securityholder have agreed in writing that no applicable filing or waiting period is required under the HSR Act.

Furthermore, because Ares may be deemed to be in possession of nonpublic information regarding the Company in the future, Ares may waive certain rights and privileges under its Subscription Agreement and the Warrant regarding the public disclosure of such information. The Investor acknowledges that neither the provision of information by the Company to Ares or its affiliates nor any waiver by Ares of such rights would result in the terms of Ares’ investment under its Subscription Agreement being more favorable terms to the terms provided to the Investor under this Agreement, including for purposes Section 5(i).
