(b) the Board to include one member to be designated by the FP Investor Parties, who shall be a Class II Director whose term expires at the 2019 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Initial Investor Director Designee”); and

(c) the Compensation Committee of the Board to be comprised of 3 members, one of whom shall be the Initial Investor Director Designee.

SECTION 2.02. Committee Composition.

(a) For so long as the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, the FP Investor Parties shall have the right to designate one Investor Director to serve on the Compensation Committee and to remove and/or replace such Person, and the Company shall cause the Board to promptly designate such Investor Director to serve as a member of the Compensation Committee as the FP Investor Parties shall identify and remove such Investor Director as a member of the Compensation Committee as identified by the FP Investor Parties; provided, that such designation shall in each case be subject to such Investor Director meeting the applicable Committee Qualification Requirements. Other than as required by the rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ, the Company’s corporate governance guidelines applicable to all of the members of such committee or such committee’s charter, no Investor Director designated to the Compensation Committee pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be removed from his or her position on such committee without the consent of the FP Investor Parties.

(b) If at any time the Investor Director does not meet the Committee Qualification Requirements, the FP Investor Parties shall have the right to select one of the Other Directors, and the Board shall take all necessary action to appoint such Other Director (subject to such Other Director’s agreement to serve and such Other Director meeting the Committee Qualification Requirements), to serve on the Compensation Committee in place of the applicable Investor Director.

(c) For so long as the 10.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, the FP Investor Parties shall have the right to designate any person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Investor Director, if any) to serve as a

non-voting observer (an “Observer”) on each committee of the Board that does not include the Investor Director as a member, which Observer shall have the rights set forth in Section 2.03(c).

SECTION 2.03. Investor Director; Observer.

(a) Unless and until there has occurred a Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, (i) for so long as the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, the FP Investor Parties shall be entitled (A) to designate for nomination one (1) nominee to serve as the Investor Director Designee, subject to such Person’s satisfaction of the Director Qualification Standards, and (B) to designate one (1) Observer to the Board and (ii) for so long as the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied and the 10.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, the FP Investor Parties shall be entitled to designate one (1) Observer to the Board.

(b) In the event that the FP Investor Parties nominate any Investor Director Designee pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, the Company shall (i) include the Investor Director Designee in its slate of nominees for election to the Board at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected and at which the seat held by the Investor Director Designee is subject to election and (ii) recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of such Investor Director Designee at any such annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Investor Director Designee to be elected by the stockholders, subject in each case to the Directors’ fiduciary duties. The Company and the Board shall take all necessary actions to ensure that, at all times when the Investor Director Designee is eligible to be appointed or nominated, there are sufficient vacancies on the Board to permit such designation. For the avoidance of doubt, the FP Investor Parties shall not be required to comply with the advance notice provisions generally applicable to the nomination of Directors by the Company so long as the FP Investor Parties provide reasonable advance notice to the Company of the Director Designee prior to the mailing of the proxy statement by the Company (provided, that the Company shall provide reasonable advance notice to the FP Investor Parties of the expected mailing date).

(c) In the event that the FP Investor Parties designate an Observer pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or an Observer of a Board committee pursuant to Section 2.02(c), such Observer shall (i) have the right to receive (when and as received by the Directors of the Board or members of such committee) due notice of and to attend (whether in person or by telephone) and participate in discussions at (but not vote on any matters on which the Directors are entitled to vote) all meetings of the Board and all meetings of committees of the Board, and (ii) have the right to receive copies of all documents and other information, including minutes, consents, business plans, presentation materials, budgets and financial information furnished generally to members of the Board and all committees thereof when and as received by the members of the Board or committee thereof, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to exclude the Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof upon the vote of a majority of the Directors or members of such committee, as

applicable, if (x) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, (y) the Company has received advice of legal counsel that if the Observer obtained such information it would result in a conflict of interest or (z) the Company has received advice of legal counsel that providing the Observer such information is prohibited under applicable Laws; provided, further, that the Observer appointed, from time to time by the FP Investor Parties shall hold all Confidential Information disclosed at any meeting of the Board or in connection with any consent of the Board, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02. The Company shall use its good faith efforts to provide advance written notice to the Observers of any intent to withhold information from such Observer or to exclude such Observer from attending any meeting or portion thereof in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), together with a general description of the information or materials that has been withheld to the extent that providing such description is not reasonably expected to either jeopardize the attorney-client privilege to be preserved or result in the conflict to be avoided.

(d) Without the prior written consent of the FP Investor Parties, until such time as the Fall-Away of the Investor Board Rights has occurred, the Board shall not remove any Investor Director or Observer from his or her respective position (subject to Section 2.04). The FP Investor Parties shall have the sole right to remove any Investor Director or Observer at any time and to nominate, designate or appoint, as applicable, any replacement or successor thereof.

(e) If an Investor Director ceases to serve on the Board for any reason (other than pursuant to Section 2.04) during his or her term (until such time as the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied), the vacancy created thereby shall be filled, and the Company shall cause the Board to fill such vacancy, with a new Investor Director Designee and appoint such Investor Director to the Compensation Committee, subject to satisfaction of the applicable Committee Qualification Requirements.

(f) Until such time as the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied, upon the written request of the FP Investor Parties, the Board shall cause the Company to call a special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock for the purpose of electing the Investor Director at such time and location as the FP Investor Parties may reasonably request (subject to applicable Law), in addition to designation by written request of the FP Investor Parties.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor Director and Observer shall be entitled to travel and expense reimbursement for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with travelling to and from meetings of the Board and/or any committee of the Board. In addition, (x) the Investor Director shall be entitled to enter into a customary indemnification agreement with the Company on terms that are, in the event that the Company has entered into any such agreement with another non-employee Director, no less favorable than that provided to such other non-employee Director and in any event no less favorable than as in effect as of the Signing Date, and (y) the Company shall maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance containing terms that are reasonably satisfactory to the FP Investor Parties. Each Investor Director shall be covered as an insured director, in such a manner as to

provide each Investor Director in his or her capacity as a Director with rights and benefits under all directors’ and officers’ insurance policies no less favorable than those provided to any other non-employee Directors. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any Investor Related Party who is an officer, director or other fiduciary of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i.e., its obligations to such Person are primary and any obligation of any other Persons to which such Investor Director or its Affiliates may have rights to advancement of expenses or to indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Investor Related Party are secondary).

SECTION 2.04. Step-Downs of Investor Board Rights.

(a) If at any time the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is not satisfied (but the 10.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied) and there is one Investor Director on the Board at such time, then, at the written request of a majority of the Other Directors to the FP Investor Parties, the Investor Director, as specified by the FP Investor Parties (or, if the FP Investor Parties fail to do so within five Business Days of such requirement not being satisfied, as specified by a majority of the Other Directors), shall immediately resign, and the FP Investor Parties shall cause such Investor Director to immediately resign, from his or her position as a member of the Board and the Compensation Committee, in each case effective as of the receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after such time as the 25.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is no longer satisfied (but the 10.0% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied), the FP Investor Parties shall only have the right to designate an Observer in accordance with Sections 2.02(c) and 2.03(a)(ii).

Registration Rights

SECTION 3.01. Registration.

Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file within 120 days after the date hereof a registration statement covering the sale or distribution from time to time by any Investor holding Registrable Securities (the “Holders”), on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, of all of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, then such registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for

resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the FP Investor Parties) (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (and in any event within 180 days after the date hereof).

(b) Effectiveness Period. Once declared effective, the Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be continuously effective and usable until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(c) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf Registration ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf Registration to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf Registration in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective and usable until the end of the Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be a registration statement on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the FP Investor Parties.

(d) Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if required by the Securities Act or the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration.

(e) Subsequent Holder Notice. If a Person entitled to the benefits of this Agreement becomes a Holder of Registrable Securities after a Shelf Registration becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written notice to the Company of such Person becoming a Holder and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the prospectus related to the Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Holder Notice”):

(i) if required and permitted by applicable Law, file with the SEC a supplement to the related prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration so that such Holder is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment or a supplement to the related prospectus for such purpose in any 30-day period;

(ii) if, pursuant to clause (i) above, the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration that is not automatically effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable; and

(iii) notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to clause (i) above.

(f) Underwritten Offering.

(i) Subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer in this Agreement or otherwise, any of the FP Investor Parties may, after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten Offering Notice”) specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration is intended to be conducted through an underwritten offering (the “Underwritten Offering”); provided, however, that the FP Investor Parties may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (x) launch more than three (3) Underwritten Offerings at the request of the FP Investor Parties within any three-hundred sixty-five (365) day period, (y) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $5,000,000 (unless the FP Investor Parties are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities) or (z) launch any underwritten offering within the period commencing fourteen (14) days prior to and ending two (2) days following the Company’s scheduled earnings release date for any fiscal quarter or year.

(ii) In the event of an Underwritten Offering, the FP Investor Parties shall select the managing Underwriter or Underwriters to administer the Underwritten Offering; provided that the choice of such managing Underwriter(s) shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and the. In making the determination to consent to the FP Investor Parties’ choice of managing underwriter(s), the Company may take into account its business and strategic interests. The Company, the Investors and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Underwritten Offering will enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such offering.

(iii) The Company will not include in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the FP Investor Parties. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters advise the Company and the Investors in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions or is such so as to adversely affect the success of such offering, the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (A) first, the Registrable Securities that have been requested to be so included on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders and (B) second, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included.

(g) Take-Down Notice. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, at any time that any Shelf Registration is effective, if an Investor delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect a sale or distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on any Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Offering, then the Company shall amend, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, or supplement the Shelf Registration as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be sold and distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering.

SECTION 3.02. Piggyback Registration.

(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to, or otherwise commence, a public offering of its Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than any registration statement filed (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any substitute or successor forms or (ii) filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), the Company will promptly give to each Investor written notice of such filing or commencement, which notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing date or commencement date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to each such Investor on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities.

(b) Right to Participate. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement and offering the number of shares of Registrable Securities as an Investor on behalf of any such Holder may request (each, a “Piggyback Registration Statement”). Subject to Section 3.02(c), the Company shall include in each Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each, a “Piggyback Request”) within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Piggyback Notice but in any event not later than one (1) Business Day

prior to the filing date of a Piggyback Registration Statement. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration Statement beyond the earlier of (x) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement.

(c) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 3.01(f) or this Section 3.02 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided therein. If any of the securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 3.02 are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each Holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Each Holder proposing to distribute its securities through a Piggyback Registration Statement shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company or by the stockholders of the Company who have the right to select the Underwriters (such underwriting agreement to be in the form negotiated by the Company or such stockholders, as the case may be). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.02, if the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering with respect to which Holders have exercised their piggyback registration rights advise the Board that in its or their good faith opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the offering thereby and all other securities proposed to be sold in the offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such underwritten offering in light of market conditions or is such as to adversely affect the success of such filing, the Registrable Securities and such other securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated, (i) first, (A) in the event such offering was initiated by the Company, up to the total number of securities that the Company has requested to be included in such registration for its own account and (B) in the event such offering was initiated by holders of securities (including the FP Investor Parties) who have exercised their demand registration rights, up to the total number of securities that such holders of such securities have requested to be included in such offering, allocated pro rata among such holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the Holders that have requested to participate in such underwritten offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities owned by such

Holders; and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be included in such offering. 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 or Underwriters, provided that such election is made prior to the earlier of (a) the effectiveness of the registration statement and (b) the time at which the offering price or the underwriter’s discount is determined with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting (i) may be substituted by securities held by the Holders to be included in such registration; or (ii) in the event the Holders elect not to substitute any shares, may be substituted by securities held by the Company to be included in such registration; or (iii) in the event that the Holders and the Company elect not to substitute any shares, shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company or the holders of securities who have caused Registrable Securities to be included in a registration statement pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 to be filed as contemplated by this Section 3.02, as the case may be, shall have the right to have any registration initiated by it or them, as applicable, under this Section 3.02 terminated or withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof, whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(ii) during such time as such Holder or Holders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a distribution of the Registrable Securities, such Holder or Holders will, and they will cause their Affiliates to, comply with all Laws applicable to such distribution, including Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, and, to the extent required by such Laws, will, and will cause their Affiliates to, among other things (A) not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the securities of the Company in contravention of such Laws, (B) distribute the Registrable Securities acquired by them solely in the manner described in the applicable registration statement and (C) if required by applicable Law, cause to be furnished to each agent or broker-dealer to or through whom such Registrable Securities may be offered, or to the offeree if an offer is made directly by such Holder or Holders or their respective Affiliates, such copies of the applicable prospectus (as amended and supplemented to such date) and documents incorporated by reference therein as may be required by such agent, broker-dealer or offeree;

SECTION 3.07. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of Rule 144 to the Holders, the Company agrees that, for so long as a Holder owns Registrable Securities, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the date of this Agreement;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

SECTION 3.08. Holdback Agreement. If during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall file a registration statement (other than in connection with the registration of securities issuable pursuant to an employee stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or pursuant to a merger, exchange offer or a transaction of the type specified in Rule 145(a) under the Securities Act) with respect to an underwritten public offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, such securities or otherwise informs the Investors that it intends to conduct such an offering utilizing an effective registration statement or pursuant to an underwritten Rule 144A and/or Regulation S offering and provides each Investor and each Holder the opportunity to participate in such offering in accordance with and to the extent required by Section 3.02, each Investor and each Holder shall, if requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, enter into a customary “lock-up” agreement relating to the sale, offering or distribution of Registrable Securities, in the form reasonably requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, covering the period commencing on the date of the prospectus pursuant to which such offering may be made and continuing until 90 days from the date of such prospectus or such shorter period as may be agreed by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters.

SECTION 3.09. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by Company. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company will, with respect to any Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement or prospectus, or as to which registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each Person controlling such Holder within the meaning of

Section 15 of the Securities Act and such Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each Underwriter thereof, if any, and each Person who controls any such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all expenses, claims, losses, damages, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorney’s fees and any legal or other fees or expenses actually incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), judgments, fines, penalties, charges, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities, joint or several (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or other document, in each case related to such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rules or regulations thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limiting the preceding portions of this Section 3.09) the Company will reimburse each of the Company Indemnified Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating, defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.09, settling any such Losses or action, as such expenses are incurred; provided that 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 (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to a Holder in any such case for any such Losses or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation or alleged violation of any state or federal Law (including any claim arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the registration statement or prospectus) which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder or its authorized representatives expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of any Holder.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws is being effected, indemnify, severally and not jointly with any other Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, each of its Representatives, each Person who controls the Company or such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Parties”), against all Losses (or actions in respect thereof) to the extent arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular, “issuer free writing prospectus” or other document, in each case related to such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each of the Holder Indemnified Parties for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal expenses and any other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating, defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.09, settling any such Losses or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, “issuer free writing prospectus” or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder furnished to the Company by such Holder or its authorized representatives and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 3.09(b) payable by the Investors and any Holder exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after payment of Selling Expenses) received by each such Holder in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3.09(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the applicable Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Notification. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.09 (each, an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party required to provide indemnification (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding as to which indemnity is sought. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party as promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or litigation, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this Section 3.09(c)) be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal expenses and other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or litigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve an Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 3.09 only to the extent that the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial or harmful to such Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability

in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 3.09 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification set forth in this Section 3.09 shall be in addition to any other indemnification rights or agreements that an Indemnified Party may have. An Indemnifying Party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will 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 Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.09 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party, other than pursuant to its terms, with respect to any Losses or action referred to therein, then, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.09, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, 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, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.09(d) was determined solely upon pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 3.09(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount an Investor and any Holder will be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 3.09(d) will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after payment of Selling Expenses) received by such Investor and/or such Holder in respect of the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute. 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.

SECTION 3.10. Transfer of Registration Rights. Any rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder under this Article III may be transferred or assigned to any Affiliate of such Holder or any investment fund managed or controlled by such Holder or its Affiliates to whom shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock are transferred pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.02 or any other party to whom such Holder may transfer any shares of Series A Preferred Stock

pursuant to Section 4.02; provided, however, that (i) prior written notice of such assignment of rights is given to the Company and (ii) such Person agrees in writing to be bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a “Holder” pursuant to a written instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

SECTION 3.11. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any particular Holder to cause the Company to register securities under Article III shall terminate with respect to such Holder upon the date upon which such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The registration rights contained in this Article III shall terminate on the date on which all shares of Common Stock issuable (or actually issued) to any of the Investors upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock cease to be Registrable Securities.

SECTION 3.12. Registration Default. If any of the following events shall occur (each, a “Registration Default”), then the Company shall pay Registration Default Dividends (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) to the Investors as contemplated in the Series A Certificate of Designations:

(a) if a Resale Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the date that is 120 days after the date hereof;

(b) if a Resale Shelf Registration Statement is filed but not declared effective by the SEC (or has not become effective in the case of an automatic shelf registration statement) on or prior to the date that is 180 days after the date hereof; or

(c) if a Shelf Registration has been declared or become effective but ceases to be effective or usable for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities (without being succeeded immediately by an effective replacement registration statement), or the Shelf Registration or prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable in connection with the resales of Registrable Securities for a period of time which exceeds one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate in any consecutive 12-month period because of a suspension under Section 3.04 or otherwise; provided that, no such Registration Default Dividends shall accrue under this Section 3.12(c) if the registration statement ceases to be effective or usable for the offer, sale and resale of Registrable Securities solely as a result of requirement to file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the prospectus to make changes to the information regarding selling securityholders or the plan of distribution provided for therein;

provided further, however, that (i) upon the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (a) above), (ii) upon the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (b) above), or (iii) upon such time as the Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective or usable for resales again becomes effective and usable for resales (in the case of paragraph (c) above), the Registration Default Dividends shall cease to accrue.

Commencing on the date any such Registration Default occurs, Registration Default Dividends shall accrue on the Stated Value (as defined in the Series

A Certificate of Designations) of the Series A Preferred Stock, (i) at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the date such Registration Default occurs and (ii) 0.50% per annum thereafter. Registration Default Dividends shall cease to accrue when, (i) with respect to paragraph (a) above, the relevant filing is made and (ii) with respect to paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the relevant registration statement becomes effective.

Any amounts of Registration Default Dividends due pursuant to this Section 3.12 will be payable in cash on the next succeeding dividend payment date with respect to Preferred Dividends (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) to Investors entitled to receive such Registration Default Dividends on the relevant dividend payment date for the payment of Preferred Dividends. If any share of Series A Preferred Stock ceases to be outstanding during any period for which Registration Default Dividends is accruing, the Company will prorate the Registration Default Dividends payable with respect to such share. Upon the cure of all Registration Defaults then continuing, the accrual of Registration Default Dividends will automatically cease and the dividend rate borne by the Series A Preferred Stock will revert to the dividend rate otherwise in effect at such time.

If Registration Default Dividends would be payable because more than one Registration Default occurs, the Company shall only be obligated to pay Registration Default Dividends in an amount not exceeding 0.50% per annum. Other than the Company’s obligation to pay Registration Default Dividends in accordance with this Section 3.12, the Company will not have any liability for damages with respect to a Registration Default.

SECTION 6.02. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Company and the FP Investors and, if such amendment or waiver shall be enforced against Chrysalis, Chrysalis. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

SECTION 6.03. Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered (by facsimile, electronic transmission or otherwise) to the other parties.

SECTION 6.04. Governing Law; Specific Enforcement; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such state.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 6.04(c), without proof of damages or otherwise (in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.04) (and each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.04 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, or that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.

(c) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any

state or federal court within the State of Delaware), for the purposes of any demand, action, suit, countersuit, arbitration, inquiry, proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental Entity or any arbitration or mediation tribunal (“Action”) or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action or proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 6.01 shall be effective service of process for any such Action or proceeding.

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.04(d).

SECTION 6.05. Interpretation. (a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of

this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall”. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and shall not simply mean “if”. All references to “$” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term, and references to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include other gender. Except as specifically stated herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Whenever a consent, approval, designation, nomination or similar right is provided to the FP Investor Parties, such right may be exercised by a majority-in-interest of the FP Investor Parties based on the FP Investor Parties’ ownership of the Company’s Capital Stock at such time. Each of the parties hereto has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of determining beneficial ownership, the FP Investor Parties may rely on the Company’s most recent publicly available Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K to determine the number of issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Company at any given time and any Person’s beneficial ownership percentage, unless the Company provides written notice to the FP Investor Parties with an updated number of Equity Securities of the Company then issued and outstanding.

(c) In the event that the Common Stock is listed on a National Securities Exchange other than NASDAQ, all references herein to NASDAQ rules shall be deemed to be to the most comparable rule applicable to such other National Securities Exchange and all references to NASDAQ shall be deemed to be such other National Securities Exchange, in each case, mutatis mutandis. In the event that the Common Stock is listed on both NASDAQ and any other National Securities Exchange, the Company and the FP Investor Parties shall cooperate to make any amendments to this Agreement reasonably requested by the other party; provided, that in no event shall an FP Investor Party be required to accept any changes that would result from any shares Capital Stock beneficially owned by any FP Investor Party being listed on any exchange other than a National Securities Exchange.

SECTION 6.06. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced because of any Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse in any material respect to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 6.07. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.08, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, whether as third party beneficiary or otherwise.

SECTION 6.08. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any party hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Company shall be permitted to assign this Agreement and its rights, interests and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of any other party hereto to the successor or surviving entity in any merger, business combination or other transaction involving a change of control of the Company and (b) this Section 6.08 shall not prohibit any Transfer permitted under Section 5.02; provided, further, that in the event of any such assignment pursuant to clause (b) or (c), the applicable Investor will remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 6.09. Termination.

(a) Automatic Termination. Other than the termination provisions applicable to particular Sections of this Agreement that are specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to Section 6.09(b), (i) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and the FP Investor Parties and (ii) at such time when the FP Investor Parties no longer beneficially own shares of Capital Stock.

(b) Survival. In the event that this Agreement shall terminate, all provisions of this Agreement shall terminate and shall be void, except Section 5.02 and Articles I and VI and shall survive any such termination indefinitely. The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for any breach by a party of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.10. Entire Agreement, etc. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto), together with the Series A Certificate of Designations and the Investment Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that nothing herein shall limit, restrict, prevent or supersede the other Transaction Documents, or serve as a consent or waiver thereunder.
