For the avoidance of doubt, such adjustments shall be made in connection with the occurrence of each such event, and shall be made in addition to any prior adjustments effected hereunder.

“Maximum Number of Shares” means 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to the following adjustments:

(a) If, as the result of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or any reclassification of the Common Stock, or any split up or combination of the Common Stock, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased, the Maximum Number of Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery date of any such event, be proportionally increased or decreased, as the case may be.

(b) If, pursuant to a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, other business combination, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action (including, without limitation, a reorganization in bankruptcy or liquidation or a scheme of arrangement), the Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or other property, the Maximum Number of Shares shall, effective upon such exchange, be adjusted by multiplying the Maximum Number of Shares at such time by the number of securities, the amount of cash or the fair market value of any other property exchanged for one share of Common Stock in such event. For purposes of the foregoing, where a share of Common Stock may be converted or exchanged into more than a single type of consideration based upon any form of shareholder election, such consideration will be deemed to be (i) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (ii) if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amount of consideration actually received by such holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions shall apply in connection with the occurrence of each such event, in addition to any prior adjustments or modifications effected hereunder.

Section 2. Loans Of Shares; Transfers of Loaned Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make available for borrowing by Borrower on the date hereof shares of Common Stock up to, in the aggregate, the Maximum Number of Shares.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, by written notices to Lender, each substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (a “Borrowing Notice”), initiate one or more transactions in which Lender will lend Loaned Shares to Borrower upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement (together, the “Loan”, or as context requires, “Loans”, “a Loan” or “any Loan”). Such Loans shall be confirmed through the book-entry settlement system of the Clearing Organization. The records maintained by the Clearing Organization shall constitute conclusive evidence with respect to such Loans, including the number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Borrower be entitled to receive, or shall be deemed to receive, any Loaned Shares if, immediately upon giving effect to such receipt of such Loaned Shares, (i) the “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of shares of Common Stock by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower or any other person subject to aggregation with Borrower under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder or any “group” (within the meaning of such Section 13 and rules) of which Borrower is a member (collectively, the “Borrower Group”) would be equal to or greater than 8.0% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit. The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of shares of Common Stock that Borrower and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Borrower (Borrower or any such person, a “Borrower Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Lender that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of shares of Common Stock (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion. The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Borrower Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Borrower Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If any delivery owed to Borrower hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Lender’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Lender shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, Borrower gives notice to Lender that such delivery would not result in any such limitation being breached. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any delivery of Common Stock is erroneously made to Borrower or Borrower otherwise receives or is deemed to have received Common Stock in excess of the foregoing limitation contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph, such Common Stock shall remain the property of Lender and Borrower shall be deemed to hold the same as bailee of Lender and shall have no voting, dispositive control or pecuniary interest with respect thereto.

(d) Lender shall transfer Loaned Shares to Borrower on or before the Cutoff Time on the date specified in the Borrowing Notice for the commencement of any Loan, which date shall not be earlier than the second Business Day following the receipt by Lender of the Borrowing Notice. Transfer of the Loaned Shares to Borrower shall be made in the manner and to the account set forth under Section 11 below.

Section 3. Consideration. Lender acknowledges that Lender will benefit directly from the Loan of any Loaned Shares hereunder, which benefit is hereby acknowledged as consideration for the Loan made hereunder. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a one-time fee of $0.01 per Loaned Share borrowed by Borrower. Such fee shall be paid net of applicable withholding taxes, shall be paid concurrent with such Loaned Share being delivered to Borrower and shall not exceed $300,000 in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement.

Section 4. Loan Terminations.

(a) Borrower may terminate all or any portion of a Loan on any Business Day by giving written notice thereof to Lender and transferring the corresponding number of Loaned Shares under such Loan to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower. Any such Loan termination shall be effective upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of the Loaned Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Subject to Section 10 below, the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding on the last day of the Loan Availability Period shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 13 (the “Facility Termination Date”) and all Loaned Shares then outstanding, if any, shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the fifth Business Day following the Facility Termination Date.

(c) Subject to Section 10 below, if the Loan or any portion thereof is terminated upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Section 9, the Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the termination date of such Loan.

(d) If at any time the number of Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the outstanding Loan shall immediately terminate to the extent of such excess and, subject to Section 10 below, such excess number of Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the fifth Business Day following the first date as of which such excess exists.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of Borrower hereunder to Lender in respect of return of the relevant Loaned Shares shall be satisfied in accordance with Section 11 below.

Section 5. Distributions.

(a) If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender pays a cash dividend or makes a cash distribution in respect of all its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Borrower shall pay to Lender (regardless of whether Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned Shares), within three Business Days after the payment of such dividend or distribution, as the case may be, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares outstanding at such time; provided that if Borrower returns any Loaned Shares to Lender following a record date for such a dividend or distribution on such Loaned Shares, but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution on such Loaned Shares, Borrower shall nonetheless pay to Lender the amount of such dividend or distribution, as the case may be, within three Business Days after the payment of such dividend or distribution.

(b) If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes a distribution in respect of all of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in property or securities, including any spin-off securities or assets, options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a distribution of Common Stock, but including any spin-off securities or assets, options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (a “Non-Cash Distribution”), Borrower shall deliver to Lender in kind (regardless of whether Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned Shares) within twenty Business Days after the date of such Non-Cash Distribution, the property or securities so distributed in an amount (the “Delivery Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such Non-Cash Distribution and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares outstanding at such time; provided that if Borrower returns any Loaned Shares to Lender following a record date for such a Non-Cash Distribution on such Loaned Shares, but prior to the settlement of such Non-Cash Distribution on such Loaned Shares, Borrower shall nonetheless deliver to Lender the Delivery Amount in respect of such Non-Cash Distribution within twenty Business Days after the settlement date of distribution.

Section 6. Rights in Respect of Loaned Shares.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Borrower’s obligation to return the Loaned Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender or Borrower and any subsequent transferee of Loaned Shares, insofar as such person is the record owner of any such Loaned Shares, such person shall have all of the incidents of ownership in respect of any such Loaned Shares, including the right to transfer the Loaned Shares to others. Borrower agrees that neither it nor any affiliate of it that is the record owner of any Loaned Shares that are (a) initially transferred hereunder and (b) held for delivery to Lender or held by Borrower or its affiliates (other than any such securities that are held in the accounts of, and beneficially owned by, any unaffiliated third party, where such third party has the power to, and has, directed the vote of such securities) shall vote such Loaned Shares on any matter submitted to a vote of Lender’s shareholders; provided that, if by failing to vote such Loaned Shares there shall not be a quorum at any meeting of shareholders relating to such a matter, as advised by Lender to Borrower in writing, Borrower shall vote its shares proportionately to the votes of all other shareholders voting on such matter at such meeting.

(a) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, (i) if as a result of complying with Section 4, the Borrower Group would beneficially own more than 8.0% of the Outstanding Shares, then Borrower shall be permitted to extend the delivery due date for all or a portion of the corresponding delivery obligation to permit Borrower to return, as promptly as reasonably practicable but subject to applicable law, regulation or policy, such Loaned Shares through one transaction or a series of transactions without causing the Borrower Group to become, directly or indirectly, a beneficial owner of more than 8.0% of the Outstanding Shares at such time, and (ii) without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to extend the delivery due date for all or a portion of the corresponding delivery obligation if Borrower reasonably determines in good faith upon advice of counsel that such extension is reasonably necessary to enable Borrower (or any of its affiliates), due to illiquidity or otherwise, to effect purchases of shares of Common Stock in connection with this Agreement in a manner that would be in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements (A) applicable to Borrower or such affiliates in purchasing such shares of Common Stock or (B) if Borrower were deemed to be Lender or an affiliated purchaser of Lender, that would be applicable to Lender in purchasing such shares of Common Stock.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if all or a portion of a Loan terminates pursuant to Section 4 and, on the date on which the related Loaned Shares are due to Lender, the purchase of shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to all or any portion of the number of Loaned Shares to be delivered in accordance with Section 4 shall (i) be prohibited by any law, rules or regulation of any governmental authority to which it is or would be subject (including rules or codes of conduct generally applicable to members of any self-regulatory organization of which Borrower is a member or to the regulation of which it is subject (whether

or not such rules or codes of conduct are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Borrower)) or would be unadvisable if Borrower or its affiliate were to effect such purchases of Loaned Shares as if Borrower or its affiliate, as the case may be, were Lender or an affiliated purchaser of Lender while remaining in compliance with such law, rules, regulations or codes of conduct, (ii) violate, or would upon such purchase or borrow likely violate, any order or prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority, (iii) require the prior consent of any court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such purchase, (iv) subject Borrower or its affiliate making such purchase, in its commercially reasonable judgment exercised in good faith, to any liability or potential liability under any applicable federal securities laws (including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act), or (v) be commercially impracticable, in the reasonable judgment of Borrower, as a result of a demonstrable legal or regulatory impediment (including regulations of self-regulatory organizations) to such purchases in the time period required by Xxxxxxx 0 (xxxx xx (x), (xx), (xxx), (xx) and (v), a “Legal Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the Legal Obstacle and the basis therefor, whereupon Borrower’s obligations under Section 4 shall be suspended until such time as no Legal Obstacle with respect to such obligations shall exist (a “Repayment Suspension”); provided that, in the case of an inability of the Borrower to return such purchase of Common Stock or the delivery of such Common Stock to the Lender because it is commercially impracticable under clause (v) above, Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable steps to purchase such Common Stock as soon as possible after the cause of such inability shall be rectified. Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Repayment Suspension, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to remove or cure the Legal Obstacle as soon as practicable; provided that (except in circumstances where the Legal Obstacle resulted from the failure by Borrower to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations or the rules of a securities self-regulatory organization) Lender shall promptly reimburse all reasonable costs and expenses (including of legal counsel to Borrower) incurred, or, at Borrower’s election, provide adequate surety or guarantee for any such costs and expenses that may be incurred, by Borrower, in each case in removing or curing any Legal Obstacle described in Clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) immediately above. If Borrower cannot remove or cure the Legal Obstacle within five Business Days, then Lender shall have the right at any time thereafter, upon prior written notice (the “Lender Notice”), to require Borrower to elect to either (A) pay to Lender, in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares in accordance with Section 4(c), the Replacement Cash (as defined below) or (B) provide collateral to Lender in lieu, and with a value equal to, the Replacement Cash, in each case within 12 Business Days of such notification. If Borrower is unable to remove or cure the Legal Obstacle within 30 Business Days of the termination of the Loan under Section 4, then Borrower shall, upon the written request of Lender (the “Lender Request”), pay to Lender, in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares in accordance with Section 4, an amount in immediately available funds (the “Replacement Cash”) equal to the product of the Average Closing Price and the number of Loaned Shares otherwise required to be delivered. Any payment or collateral transfer under this Section 10(b) will be made by Borrower, and Borrower shall notify Lender of the Average Closing Price (or equivalent cash value, if applicable) and expected date of such payment or transfer, as soon as practicable after the determination of the Average Closing Price (or equivalent cash value, if applicable) by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. As used herein, “Average Closing Price” shall mean the average Closing Price during the ten consecutive Business Day period beginning on, and including, the Business Day immediately following (1) the date Lender provides the Lender Notice or (2) the date Lender provides the Lender Request, as applicable.

(c) Upon the termination of the Loan by Lender under Section 9, Borrower may, with the prior consent of, and in consultation with, Lender, in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares in accordance with Section 4(c), pay to Lender Replacement Cash in respect of all or a portion of the relevant Loaned Shares equal to the product of the average Closing Price during the ten consecutive Business Day period beginning on, and including, the Business Day immediately following the date of termination and the number of Loaned Shares otherwise required to be delivered. Such payment will be made by Borrower, and Borrower shall notify Lender of such average Closing Price and expected date of such payment, as soon as practicable after the determination of such average Closing Price by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) If Borrower shall fail to deliver Loaned Shares to Lender when due or in accordance with Section 10(a) or 10(b) above, then, in either case, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under applicable law, Lender shall have the right (upon prior written notice to Borrower) to purchase a like amount of Loaned Shares (“Replacement Shares”) in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that if any Repayment Suspension or failure to deliver shall exist and be continuing, Lender may not exercise its right to purchase Replacement Shares unless Borrower shall fail to deliver the Loaned Shares, pay the Replacement Cash to Lender or provide collateral to Lender with a value equal to the Replacement Cash, in each case when due in accordance with Section 10(a) or (b) above. To the extent Lender shall exercise such right, Borrower’s obligation to return a like amount of Loaned Shares or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate and Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder), all of which shall be due and payable within three Business Days of notice to Borrower by Lender of the aggregate purchase price of the Replacement Shares. The purchase price of Replacement Shares purchased under this Section 10 shall include broker’s fees and commissions or other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase.

Section 11. Transfers.

(a) All transfers of Loaned Shares to Borrower hereunder shall be made by the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such Loaned Shares to the Borrower’s “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) maintained with such Clearing Organization as Borrower shall inform Lender. All transfers of Loaned Shares to Lender hereunder shall be made by the crediting of such Loaned Shares to Lender’s Designated Account (whereupon, for the avoidance of doubt, such Loaned Shares credited to Lender’s Designated Account shall become the property of Lender, and Borrower shall have no voting, dispositive control or pecuniary interest with respect thereto). In every transfer of “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder, the transferor shall take all steps necessary (i) to effect a delivery to the transferee under Section 8-301 of the UCC, or to cause the creation of a security entitlement with respect to such financial assets in favor of the transferee under Section 8-501 of the UCC, (ii) to enable the transferee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC), and (iii) to provide the transferee with comparable rights under any applicable foreign law or regulation that is applicable to such transfer.

(b) All transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds to the account specified by the relevant party.

(c) A transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 11 on any day except a day on which the transferee is closed for business at its address set forth in Section 15 or a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.

(d) The rights and duties of Borrower under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or duties hereunder to Borrower’s ultimate parent entity or any directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower’s ultimate parent entity (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the prior written consent of Lender as long as (i) such Permitted Transferee is of equal or better credit rating as the Borrower or is guaranteed by the Borrower or an entity of equal or better credit rating as the Borrower or (ii) provided that, upon such assignment or transfer, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and agreed, that, to the extent any of Borrower’s duties under this Agreement are not completed by such Permitted Transferee, Borrower shall be obligated to continue to perform or to cause any other of Permitted Transferee to perform in respect of such duties.

(e) The rights and duties of Lender under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by Lender, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of Borrower.

(f) Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with Section 11(d) or 11(e) of this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be null and void.

Section 12. Indemnities.

(a) Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, Taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses (including, without limitation, direct losses relating to Borrower’s market activities as a consequence of becoming subject to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, and including, without limitation, any forbearance from market activities or cessation of market activities and any losses in connection therewith or with respect to this Agreement) incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with, (i) any breach by Lender of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 7, (ii) any breach by Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, in each case under (i) and (ii) above, to the extent that it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, evidenced by a final non-appealable order, that Borrower is liable to the Lender with respect to such claims, or (iii) any Taxes relating to any payments under this Agreement made or to be made by Borrower or any of its affiliates to Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

(b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, Taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 7 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement, in each case to the extent that it has been finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, evidenced by a final non-appealable order, that Borrower is liable to the Lender with respect to such claim.

(c) In case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of a party under this Section 12 (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall come to the attention of the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within its indemnification obligations under this Section 12. Such response shall be delivered no later than 30 days after the initial notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice within 30 days, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

(d) An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof (unless the Indemnified Party reasonably objects to such assumption), with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party), and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (regardless of whether the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim 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 any Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this Section 12 without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 13. Termination Of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the termination, pursuant to its terms, of the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2019, between Lender and Xxxxxxxxx LLC, in connection with Lender’s offering of Convertible Notes, and (ii) the first Business Day following the last day of the Loan Availability Period, and may be terminated earlier (A) at any time by the written agreement of Lender and Borrower, or (B) by Lender or Borrower upon the occurrence of a Default of the other party.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, the provisions of Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
