Ladies and Gentlemen:
MediaCo Holding Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”) and Moelis & Company LLC (“Moelis”, and,
together with BTIG, the “Agents”) as set forth below. The Company, BTIG and Moelis are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties”.
1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell
through the Agents, as sales agents, up to that number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”),
having an aggregate offering price of $2,031,019 (the “Shares”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Agents such number of Shares that would (a) cause the Company not to satisfy the eligibility requirements for use of Form S-3
(including, if and so long as applicable, General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3), (b) exceed the number of Shares or dollar amount of Common Stock then available for offer and sale under the currently effective Registration Statement (as defined
below) pursuant to which the offering hereunder is being made, (c) exceed the number of Shares or dollar amount of Common Stock registered on the Prospectus Supplement (as defined below) or (d) exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of
the Company’s Common Stock (the lesser of (a), (b), (c) and (d), the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the Maximum Amount of Shares that may be
issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company, and that the Agents shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of Shares through the Agents will be effected pursuant to
the Registration Statement filed by the Company and which was declared effective under the Securities Act (as defined below) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
The Company has prepared and filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), with the Commission, not earlier than three years prior to the
date hereof, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281481), including a base prospectus, with respect to offerings of certain securities of the Company, including the Shares, and which incorporates by reference documents that the
Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement at the time it became effective specifically relating
to the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Company will furnish to the Agents, for use by
the Agents, copies of the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement at the time it became effective, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, as
declared effective by the Commission, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430B or 430C under the Securities Act, as applicable, to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness and all documents filed
as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in the Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, collectively, are herein
called the “Registration Statement,” and the base prospectus included in the registration statement at the time it became effective,
including all documents incorporated therein by reference to the extent such information has not been superseded or modified in accordance with Rule 412 under the Securities Act (as qualified by Rule 430B(g) of the Securities Act), as it may be
supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, together with any “issuer free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (“Rule 433”), relating to the Shares that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company or (ii) is exempt from filing pursuant
to Rule 433(d)(5)(i), in each case, in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g), is herein called the “Prospectus.” If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement to register additional securities of the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act, then any reference to the Registration Statement in this Agreement shall also be deemed to include such abbreviated registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act. Any reference herein
to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement”
with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission deemed to be incorporated by reference therein (such documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference are herein called the “Incorporated Documents”). For purposes of this Agreement,
all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system, or if
applicable, the Interactive Data Electronic Applications system when used by the Commission (collectively, “EDGAR”).
2. Placements. With respect to any offer to sell Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees that any offer to sell, any solicitation of an offer to buy Shares and any sales of Shares
shall be effected only by or through the Agent designated by the Company (the “Designated Agent”) in the Placement Notice (as defined
below), and only a single Agent, on any single given date, and in no event shall the Company request that more than one Agent sell the Shares on the same day. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify the Designated Agent by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties) of the amount
of Shares requested to be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in a given time period, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the amount of Shares that may be sold in any single day, any minimum price
below which sales may not be made or any minimum price requested for sales in a given time period and any other instructions relevant to such requested sales (a “Placement Notice”), the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1. A Placement Notice shall
originate from any of the individual representatives of the Company set forth on Schedule 3, and shall be addressed to each of the
individual representatives of the Agents set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time. Provided the Company is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Placement Notice shall be effective unless and until (i) the
Designated Agent, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its
sole discretion (which shall not be deemed a breach of the Agents’ agreement herein), (ii) the entire amount of the Shares thereunder have been sold or the aggregate Shares sold under this Agreement equals the Maximum Amount, whichever occurs
first, (iii) the Company, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, suspends or terminates the Placement Notice or sales
thereunder, which suspension or termination rights may be exercised by the Company in its sole discretion, (iv) the Designated Agent, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, suspends sales under the Placement Notice, (v) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice or (vi) this Agreement has
been terminated under the provisions of Section 12. The amount of any commission to be paid by the Company to the Designated Agent in connection with the
sale of the Shares effected through the Designated Agent, as agent, shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2.
It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor the Designated Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Designated
Agent, and such Designated Agent does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms
of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.
3. Sale of Shares by the Agents. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Company’s issuance of a
Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Shares described therein has been suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Designated Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its
normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Exchange”),
for the period specified in the Placement Notice to sell such Shares up to the amount specified by the Company in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice. The Designated Agent will provide written confirmation to the
Company, no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) next following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Shares hereunder, setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Company to
the Designated Agent with respect to such sales pursuant to Section 2, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization
of the deductions made by the Designated Agent (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds for the Shares that it receives from such sales. The
Agents may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the Exchange, on any other existing trading market
for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network. During the term of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Agents agree that in no event will it or any of their
affiliates engage in any market making, bidding, stabilization or other trading activity with regard to the Common Stock if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that the Agents will be successful in selling Shares hereunder and (ii) the Agents will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell
Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agents to use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices to sell such Shares as required under this Section 3, and (iii) the Agents shall be under no obligation to purchase Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which Common Stock is purchased and sold on the principal market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.
4. Suspension of Sales.
(a) The
Company or the Agents may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individual representatives of the other party set forth on Schedule 3, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by
verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individual representatives of the other party set forth on Schedule 3),
suspend this offering and any sale of Shares for a period of time (a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of
the Parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against the other unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule 3 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time. During a Suspension Period, the Company shall not issue any Placement
Notices and the Agents shall not sell any Shares hereunder. The party that issued a Suspension Notice shall notify the other party in writing of the Trading Day on which the Suspension Period shall expire not later than twenty-four (24) hours
prior to such Trading Day.
(b) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer or sell, or request the offer or sale of, any Shares and, by notice to the Agents given by telephone (confirmed promptly by verifiable facsimile transmission or email), shall
cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of any Shares, and the Agents shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Shares, (i) during any period in which the Company is, or may be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public
information concerning the Company or (ii) except as expressly provided in Section 4(c) below, at any time from and including the date (each, an “Announcement Date”) on which the Company shall issue a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings,
revenues or other results of operations (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the
time that the Company files (a “Filing Time”) a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or an annual report on Form 10-K that includes
consolidated financial statements as of and for the same period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement.
(c) If
the Company wishes to offer, sell or deliver Shares at any time during the period from and including an Announcement Date through and including the time that is 24 hours after the corresponding Filing Time, the Company shall, as conditions to the
giving or continuation of any Placement Notice, (i) prepare and deliver to the Agents (with a copy to counsel to the Agents) a report on Form 8-K which shall include substantially the same financial and related information as was set forth in the
relevant Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings or other projections, similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings
8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and their counsel, (ii) provide the Agents with the officer’s certificate called for by Section 7(m), dated the date of the Placement Notice, which certificate shall be deemed to remain in effect during the applicable period unless withdrawn by the Company, and the negative assurance letter of Company Counsel
(as defined below) (or Reliance Letter (as defined below), as applicable) and Comfort Letter (as defined below) called for by Sections 7(n) and 7(o), respectively, dated the date of the Placement Notice, (iii) afford the Agents the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 7(k) hereof and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission (so that it is deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act). The
provisions of clause (ii) of Section 4(b) shall not be applicable for the period from and after the time at which the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence shall have been satisfied (or, if later, the time that is 24 hours after the time that the relevant Earnings Announcement was first publicly released) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the Filing
Time of the relevant Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be. For purposes of clarity, the Parties agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, negative assurance letter of Company Counsel (or
Reliance Letter, as applicable) and Comfort Letter pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this
Agreement with respect to any quarterly report on Form 10-Q, annual report on Form 10-K, or report on Form 8-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver the officers’ certificate, negative assurance letter of
Company Counsel (or Reliance Letter, as applicable) and Comfort Letter called for by Sections 7(m), 7(n) and 7(o), respectively, which Sections shall have independent application, and (B) this Section 4(c) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of the provisions of clause (i) of Section 4(b), which shall have independent application.
5. Settlement.
(a) Settlement of Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the first (1st) Trading Day
following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a
Settlement Date against receipt of the Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price received by the
Designated Agent for the Shares, after deduction for (i) the Designated Agent’s commission for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2
hereof, (ii) any other amounts with respect to such sale of Shares due and payable by the Company to the Designated Agent hereunder pursuant to Section 7(g)
hereof and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales of Shares.
(b) Delivery of Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, issue and electronically transfer the Shares
being sold by crediting the Designated Agent’s or its designees’ (provided the Designated Agent shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which Shares in all cases shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement
Date, the Agents will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company prior to the Settlement Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent, defaults in its obligation to deliver
Shares on a Settlement Date, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 10(a), the Company will (i) hold the
Agents, their directors, officers, members, partners, employees and agents of the Agents and each person, if any, who (A) controls the Agents within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (B) is
controlled by or is under common control with BTIG or Moelis, respectively (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) (an “Agent Affiliate”),
harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii) pay
to the Agents any commission or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.
(c) Limitations on Offering Size. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any number of Shares or dollar amount pursuant to
this Agreement if, after giving effect to the sale of such Shares or dollar amount, the aggregate number of Shares or dollar amount thereof sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Amount and (ii) the number or
amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to the Agents in writing. Under no
circumstances shall the aggregate number of Shares or dollar amount thereof sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that compliance
with the limitations set forth in this Section 5(c) on the number of Shares or dollar amount that may be issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the
sole responsibility of the Company, and that the Agents shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance.
6. Representations and
Warranties of the Company. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents), the Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Agents that as of (i) the date of
this Agreement, (ii) each Representation Date (as defined in Section 7(m)) on which a certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(m), (iii) date on which any Placement Notice is delivered by the Company hereunder, and (iv) each time of sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement
(each such time of sale, an “Applicable Time”), as the case may be:
(a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements for and comply with the conditions for the use of
Form S-3 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and has been declared effective under the Securities Act. The Prospectus Supplement will name the Agents as the agents in the section entitled “Plan
of Distribution.” The Company has not received, and has no notice of, any order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, or threatening or instituting proceedings for that purpose. The Registration
Statement and the offer and sale of Shares as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act and comply in all material respects with said Rule. Any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are
required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed, as applicable. Copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and any such
amendments or supplements and all documents incorporated by reference therein that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been delivered, or are available through EDGAR, to the Agents and their counsel. The
Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur of each Settlement Date and completion of the distribution of the Shares, will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering or sale of the Shares other than the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433) to which the Agents have consented, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or that is required by applicable law or
the listing maintenance requirements of the Exchange. The Common Stock is currently quoted on the Exchange under the trading symbol “MDIA.” To the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(b) No Misstatement or Omission. At each Settlement Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as of such date, will conform in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement, when it became or becomes effective, did not, and will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, on the date thereof and at each Applicable Time, did not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or any supplement thereto did
not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein will not, when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such document or
necessary to make the statements in such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing shall not apply to statements in, or omissions from, any such document made in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, information furnished to the Company by the Agents specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(c) Conformity with Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433) or
any amendment or supplement thereto, and the Incorporated Documents, when such documents were or are filed with the Commission under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or became or become effective under the Securities Act, as the case may
be, conformed or will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable.
(d) Financial Information. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, together with the related notes and schedules, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries (as defined below) as of the dates indicated and the consolidated results
of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of the Company and the Subsidiaries for the periods specified (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either
individually or in the aggregate) and have been prepared in compliance with the published requirements of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, as applicable, and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis (except (i) for such adjustments to accounting standards and practices as are noted therein and (ii) in the case of
unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) during the periods involved; the other financial and statistical data with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries contained or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, are accurately and fairly presented and prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements and books and records of the Company; there are no financial
statements (historical or pro forma) that are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus that are not included or incorporated by reference as required; the Company and the Subsidiaries
do not have any material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), not described in the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus which are required to be described in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus; and all disclosures contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, if any, regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the
Commission) comply in all material respects with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, to the extent applicable.
(e) Conformity with EDGAR Filing. The Prospectus delivered to the Agents for use in connection with the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement will be
identical to the versions of the Prospectus created to be transmitted to the Commission for filing via EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(f) Organization. The Company and any subsidiary that is a significant subsidiary (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the
Commission) (each, a “Subsidiary,” collectively, the “Subsidiaries”),
are, and will be, duly organized, validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization. The Company and the Subsidiaries are duly licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation
for transaction of business and in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such license or qualification, and have all
corporate power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the assets, business, operations, earnings, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, stockholders’ equity or
results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Material Adverse
Effect”).
(g) Subsidiaries. The Company owns directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests of the Subsidiaries free and clear of any lien, charge, security interest,
encumbrance, right of first refusal or other restriction, and all the equity interests of the Subsidiaries are validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive and similar rights. The Company does not own or control,
directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than the subsidiaries listed in Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year and other than (i) those subsidiaries not
required to be listed on Exhibit 21.1 by Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and (ii) those subsidiaries formed since the last day of the most recently ended fiscal year.
(h) No Violation or Default. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is (i) in violation of its charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents; (ii) in
default, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other similar agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject; or
(iii) in violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such violation or default
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, no other party under any material contract or other agreement to which it or any Subsidiary is a party is in default in any respect
thereunder where such default would have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the most recent financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus, there has not been (i) any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that would result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any transaction which is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii)
any obligation or liability, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), incurred by the Company or the Subsidiaries, which is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) any material change in the
capital stock (other than (A) the grant of additional options or shares of restricted stock under the Company’s existing equity compensation plans, (B) changes in the number of outstanding Common Stock of the Company due to the issuance of shares
upon the exercise or conversion of securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof, (C) as a result of the issuance of Shares, (D) any repurchases of capital stock of the Company, (E) as described in a
proxy statement filed on Schedule 14A or a Registration Statement on Form S-4, or (F) otherwise publicly announced) or outstanding long-term indebtedness of the Company or the Subsidiaries or (v) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared,
paid or made on the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than in each case above in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus (including any document incorporated by
reference therein).
(j) Capitalization. The issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and, other than
as disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, are not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights. The Company has an authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus as of the dates referred to therein (other than (i) the grant of additional options under the Company’s existing stock option plans, (ii) changes in the number of outstanding Common Stock of the Company
due to the issuance of shares upon the exercise or conversion of securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof, (iii) as a result of the issuance of Shares, or (iv) any repurchases of capital stock
of the Company) and such authorized capital stock conforms to the description thereof set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The description of the Common Stock in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus is complete and
accurate in all material respects. Except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents), the Company did not have outstanding any options to purchase, or any rights or
warrants to subscribe for, or any securities or obligations convertible into, or exchangeable for, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, any shares of capital stock or other securities.
(k) S-3 Eligibility. At the time the Registration Statement was initially filed, and, if thereafter, at the time the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K was filed with the Commission, the Company met the then applicable requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, including, but not limited to, General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, if applicable. As of the close of trading
on the Exchange on December 11, 2024, the aggregate market value of the outstanding voting and non-voting common equity (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company held by persons other than affiliates of the Company
(pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, those that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Company) (the “Non-Affiliate Shares”), was approximately $6,093,057 (calculated by multiplying (x) the price at which the common equity of the Company was last sold on the Exchange on October 16, 2024 times (y)
3,061,838 shares of the Company’s common equity (including shares of Class A and Class B common stock) held by non-affiliates). The Company is not a shell company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and has not been a shell company
for at least 12 calendar months previously and if it has been a shell company at any time previously, has filed current Form 10 information (as defined in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3) with the Commission at least 12 calendar months
previously reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
(l) Authorization; Enforceability. The Company has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform the transactions contemplated

modification of any such Permit or has any reason to believe that such Permit will not be renewed in the ordinary course, except where the failure to obtain any such renewal would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

Form 10-K, indicating that it (i) has failed to pay any dividend or sinking fund installment on preferred stock or (ii) has defaulted on any installment on indebtedness for borrowed money or on any rental on one or more long-term leases, which

shown thereon through the date hereof, to the extent that such taxes have become due and are not being contested in good faith, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in or
contemplated by the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary which has had, or would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company
has no knowledge of any federal, state or other governmental tax deficiency, penalty or assessment which has been or is likely to be asserted or threatened against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(z) Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiary own or possess adequate enforceable rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks (both
registered and unregistered), trade names, trademark registrations, service marks, service mark registrations, Internet domain name registrations, copyrights, copyright registrations, licenses and know-how (including trade secrets and other
unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures) (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”), necessary for
the conduct of their respective businesses as conducted as of the date hereof, except to the extent that the failure to own or possess adequate rights to use such Intellectual Property would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and the Subsidiaries have not received any written notice of any claim of infringement or conflict which asserted Intellectual Property rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if
the subject of an unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending, or to the Company’s knowledge, threatened judicial proceedings or interference proceedings challenging the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s
rights in or to or the validity of the scope of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ patents, patent applications or proprietary information. No other entity or individual has any right or claim in any of the Company’s or any of its
Subsidiary’s patents, patent applications or any patent to be issued therefrom by virtue of any contract, license or other agreement entered into between such entity or individual and the Company or any Subsidiary or by any non-contractual
obligation, other than by written licenses granted by the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company has not received any written notice of any claim challenging the rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries in or to any Intellectual Property owned,
licensed or optioned by the Company or any Subsidiary which claim, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(aa) Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Company has not been advised, and has no reason to believe, that it and each of its subsidiaries are not conducting
business in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it is conducting business, except where failure to be so in compliance would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(bb) Environmental Laws. The Company and the Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules,
regulations, decisions and orders relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as
described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
pollutants or contaminants, except, in the case of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, for any such failure to comply or failure to receive required permits, licenses, other approvals or liability as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect
to any differences. The Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus). Since the date of the latest audited financial
statements of the Company included in the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus). The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) that comply with the
requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently
ended (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the most recent Evaluation Date, and the “disclosure controls and procedures” are effective.
(dd) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the Company’s directors or
officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the principal executive officer and the principal
financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it or furnished by it to the Commission during the past 12 months. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal
executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15.

with the transactions herein contemplated, except as may otherwise exist with respect to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement.

and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), except where the failure to be in such compliance would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body
or any arbitrator involving the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

the Company, any of its affiliates and any unconsolidated entity, including, but not limited to, any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity (each, an “Off-Balance Sheet Transaction”) that would affect materially the Company’s liquidity or the availability of or requirements for its capital resources, including those Off-Balance Sheet Transactions described in the
Commission’s Statement about Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations (Release Nos. 33-8056; 34-45321; FR-61), required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which have not
been described as required.

Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, no “accumulated funding deficiency” as defined in Section 412 of the Code has been incurred, whether or not waived, and the fair market value of the assets of each such plan (excluding for these
purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) equals or exceeds the present value of all benefits accrued under such plan determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions, other than, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.

7. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Agents that:
(a) Registration Statement Amendments. After the date of this Agreement and during any period in which a Prospectus relating to any Shares is required to be
delivered by the Agents under the Securities Act (without regard to the effects of Rules 153, 172 and 173 under the Securities Act) (the “Prospectus
Delivery Period”), (i) the Company will notify the Agents promptly of the time when any subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement, other than the Incorporated Documents, has been filed with the Commission and/or has become
effective or any subsequent supplement to the Prospectus has been filed and of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (ii) the Company will prepare
and file with the Commission, promptly upon the Agents’ request, any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that, in the Agents’ reasonable judgment, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution
of the Shares by the Agents (provided, however, that the failure of the Agents to make such request shall not relieve the Company of any
applicable obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Agents’ right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement); (iii) the Company will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus relating to the Shares (except for the Incorporated Documents) unless a copy thereof has been submitted to the Agents a reasonable period of time before the filing and the Agents have not reasonably objected thereto (provided, however, (A) that the failure of the Agents to make such objection shall not relieve the Company of any applicable obligation or
liability hereunder, or affect the Agents’ right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, (B) that, if the Agents object thereto, the Agents may cease making sales of Shares pursuant to this Agreement
and (C) that the Company has no obligation to provide the Agents any advance copy of such filing or to provide the Agents an opportunity to object to such filing if such filing does not name the Agents or does not relate to the transactions
contemplated hereunder); (iv) the Company will furnish to the Agents at the time of filing thereof a copy of any document that upon filing is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable,
except for those documents available via EDGAR; (v) the Company will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act
(without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) of the Securities Act) or, in the case of any Incorporated Document, to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed (the determination to file or not
file any amendment or supplement with the Commission under this Section 7(a), based on the Company’s reasonable opinion or reasonable objections, shall be
made exclusively by the Company).
(b) Notice of Commission Stop Orders. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will advise the Agents, promptly after it receives notice or obtains
knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice objecting to, or other order preventing or suspending the use of, the Prospectus, of the suspension of
the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose or any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Securities Act, or if the Company becomes the subject of a
proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with the offering of the Shares; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop
order should be issued. Until such time as any stop order is lifted, the Agents may cease making offers and sales under this Agreement.
(c) Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the
Securities Act, as from time to time in force, and to file on or before their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act. If the Company has omitted any information from the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, it will use its best efforts to comply with the
provisions of and make all requisite filings with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 430A and to notify the Agents promptly of all such filings. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as
then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period
it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify the Agents to suspend the offering of Shares during such period, and the Company will promptly
amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; provided, however, that the Company may delay the filing of any amendment or supplement, if in the judgment of the Company, it is in the best interest of the Company; provided further, however, that in the event of such delay, the Company shall promptly deliver the Agents written notice thereof.
(d) Listing of Shares. During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed on the

documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable via e-mail in “.pdf” format to an e-mail account designated by the Agents and, at the
Agents’ request, will also furnish copies of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Shares may be made; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to the Agents to the extent such document is available on EDGAR.

Securities Act. The terms “earnings statement” and “make generally available to its security holders” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

of Section 12 hereunder, will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including, but not limited to, expenses relating

option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock (other than the Shares offered pursuant to this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, Common Stock during
the period beginning on the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to the Agents hereunder and ending on the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately following the final Settlement
Date with respect to Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice (or, if the Placement Notice has been terminated or suspended prior to the sale of all Shares covered by a Placement Notice, the date of such suspension or termination); and will
not directly or indirectly in any other “at-the-market” or continuous equity transaction offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock (other than the Shares offered pursuant to this
Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, Common Stock prior to the later of the termination of this Agreement and the twentieth (20th) day immediately
following the final Settlement Date with respect to Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice; provided, however, that such restrictions
will not be required in connection with the Company’s issuance or sale of (i) Common Stock, options to purchase Common Stock, other equity awards to acquire Common Stock, or Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or vesting of options or other
equity awards, pursuant to any employee or director equity awards or benefits plan, stock ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan (but not Common Stock subject to a waiver to exceed plan limits in its dividend reinvestment plan) of the
Company whether now in effect or hereafter implemented, (ii) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of securities or the exercise or vesting of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding, and disclosed in filings by the Company
available on EDGAR or otherwise in writing to the Agents, (iii) Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, offered and sold in a privately negotiated transaction to vendors, customers, strategic partners or
potential strategic partners or other investors conducted in a manner so as not to be integrated with the offering of Common Stock hereby and (iv) Common Stock in connection with any acquisition, strategic investment or other similar transaction
(including any joint venture, strategic alliance or partnership).
(j) Change of Circumstances. The Company will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, advise the Agents promptly after it shall have received notice or
obtained knowledge of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document that is required to be provided to the Agents pursuant to this Agreement.
(k) Due Diligence Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agents or their agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as the Agents may
reasonably request.
(l) Required Filings Relating to Shares. The Company agrees (i) as promptly as practicable after the close of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters, or on such
other dates as required under the Securities Act or under interpretations by the Commission thereof, the Company shall prepare a prospectus supplement, which will set forth the number of Shares sold through the Agents during such quarterly period
(or other relevant period), the Net Proceeds to the Company and the compensation paid payable by the Company to the Agents with respect to such sales of Shares and shall file such prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities
Act (and within the time periods required by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430B or 430C under the Securities Act, as applicable) and shall file any issuer free writing prospectus that is required to be filed with the Commission within the applicable time
period prescribed for such filing by Rule 433 of the Securities Act or (ii) if such prospectus supplement is not so filed with respect to a particular fiscal quarter, the Company shall disclose the information referred to in clause (i) above in
its annual report on Form 10-K or its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as applicable, in respect of such quarterly period. The Company shall furnish copies of the Prospectus and such prospectus supplement to each exchange or market on which sales
were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market.
(m) Representation Dates; Certificate. On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given pursuant to this Agreement and each time the Company (i) files
the Prospectus relating to the Shares or amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares (other than (A) a prospectus supplement filed in accordance with Section 7(l) or (B) a supplement or amendment that relates to an offering of securities other than the Shares) by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement, but not by means of
incorporation of document(s) by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares; (ii) files an annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act (including any Form 10-K/A containing amended financial information
or a material amendment to the previously filed Form 10-K); (iii) files a quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; or (iv) files a report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than information “furnished”
pursuant to Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K or to provide disclosure pursuant to Item 8.01 of Form 8-K relating to the reclassifications of certain properties as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144) under the Exchange Act (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) shall be a “Representation
Date”); the Company shall furnish the Agents within three (3) Trading Days after each Representation Date with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) (but in the case of clause (iv) above; provided, however, that such certificates shall be furnished
only if the Agents reasonably determine that the information contained in such Form 8-K is material). The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 7(m)
shall be automatically waived for any Representation Date occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice is pending, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for
such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date) and the next occurring Representation Date; provided, however, that such
waiver shall not apply for any Representation Date on which the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following a Representation Date when the Company
relied on such waiver and did not provide the Agents with a certificate under this Section 7(m), then before the Company delivers the Placement Notice or
the Agents sell any Shares, the Company shall provide the Agents with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) dated the date of the
Placement Notice.
(n) Legal Opinions. On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents a
written opinion and negative assurance letter of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, as issuer’s counsel to the Company, or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agents (“Company Counsel”), and a written Indiana local counsel opinion (which shall be limited to matters of Indiana law) of Bose, McKinney & Evans LLP (“Company Indiana Counsel”), or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, in each case, substantially in the forms previously agreed between the Parties. Thereafter, within five (5) Trading Days
after each Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) for
which no waiver is applicable pursuant to Section 7(m), and not more than once per calendar quarter, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents
a negative assurance letter of Company Counsel substantially in the form previously agreed between the Parties, modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented; provided, however, that if Company Counsel has previously furnished to the Agents such negative assurance letter substantially in the form
previously agreed between the Parties, Company Counsel may, in respect of any future Representation Date, furnish the Agents with a letter (a “Reliance Letter”)
in lieu of such negative assurance letter to the effect that the Agents may rely on the prior negative assurance letter of Company Counsel delivered pursuant to this Section
7(n) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such Reliance Letter (except that statements in such prior letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the
date of such Reliance Letter).
(o) Comfort Letter. On or prior to the date the first Placement Notice is given pursuant to this Agreement and within three (3) Trading Days after each
Representation Date with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) for which no
waiver is applicable pursuant to Section 7(m), the Company shall cause (A) its independent accountants to furnish the Agents a letter, dated as of such
date (the “EY Comfort Letter”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, (i) confirming that they are an independent registered
public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the PCAOB and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in
connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “EY Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the EY Initial
Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the EY Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to
the date of such letter; and (B) BDO USA, P.C., as auditors of Estrella Broadcasting, Inc. (“Estrella”), to furnish the Agents a letter,
dated as of such date (the “BDO Comfort Letter” and, together with the EY Comfort Letter, the “Comfort Letter”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, (i) confirming that they are independent certified public accountants with respect to Estrella
under Section 1.200 of the AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct, and its interpretations and rulings, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily
covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “BDO Initial
Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the BDO Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the BDO Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter; provided that no comfort letters shall be
required pursuant to this Section 7(o)(B) for so long as no Estrella financial statements are required by the rules and regulations of the Commission to be included or incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
any prospectus supplement.
(p) Market Activities. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons not to, directly or
indirectly, (i) take any action designed to stabilize or manipulate, or which constitutes or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of, the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale
or resale of the Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Shares to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement in violation of Regulation M, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting the purchases of the Shares, other than the Agents.
(q) Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks the Company reasonably
deems adequate.
(r) Compliance with Laws. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, all material permits, licenses and other
authorizations required by federal, state and local law in order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall conduct their businesses, or cause their businesses to be conducted,
in substantial compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable laws, except where the failure to maintain or be in compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(s) Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time
in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Prospectus Delivery Period,
the Company will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act (giving effect to permissible extensions in accordance with Rule 12b-25 under the
Exchange Act).
(t) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company will maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded book value for assets is compared with the fair market value of such assets (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission and the Exchange promulgated thereunder.
(u) No Offer to Sell. Other than a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) approved in advance in writing by the Company and the
Agents in their capacity as agents hereunder, neither the Agents nor the Company (including its agents and representatives other than the Agents in their capacity as such) will, directly or indirectly, make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or
refer to any free writing prospectus relating to the Shares to be sold by the Agents as agents hereunder.
(v) Investment Company Act. The Company shall conduct its affairs in such a manner so as to reasonably ensure that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will be
or become, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.
(w) Transfer Agent. The Company shall maintain, at its sole expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock.
(x) Blue Sky and Other Qualifications. The Company will use
its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents, to qualify the Shares for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Shares to be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other
jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Agents may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this
Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a
foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each jurisdiction
in which the Shares have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as
required for the distribution of the Shares (but in no event for less than one year from the date of this Agreement).
(y) Renewal of the Registration Statement. If, immediately prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration
Statement (the “Renewal Date”), any of the Shares remain unsold and this Agreement has not been terminated for any reason, the Company
will, prior to the Renewal Date, file a new shelf registration statement or, if applicable, an automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Agents and their counsel, and, if such registration
statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement, will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Date. The Company will take all other reasonable actions
necessary or appropriate to permit the public offer and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Shares. From and after the effective date thereof, references herein to “Registration
Statement” shall include such new shelf registration statement or such new automatic shelf registration statement, as the case may be.
(z) Consent to Purchases by the Agents. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Agents may, to the extent permitted under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act (including, without limitation, Regulation M promulgated thereunder), purchase and sell shares of Common Stock for their own account and for the account of its clients while this Agreement is in effect, including, without limitation, at the
same time any Placement Notice is in effect or any sales of Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Agents acknowledge and
agree that any such transactions are not being, and shall not be deemed to have been, undertaken at the request or direction of, or for the account of, the Company, and that the Company has and shall have no control over any decision by the
Agents and their affiliates to enter into any such transactions.
8. Representations and Covenants of the Agents. Each of the Agents represent and warrant that they are duly registered as a broker-dealer under FINRA, the Exchange Act and the
applicable statutes and regulations of each state in which the Shares will be offered and sold, except such states in which such Agent is exempt from registration or such registration is not otherwise required. Each of the Agents shall continue,
for the term of this Agreement, to be duly registered as a broker-dealer under FINRA, the Exchange Act and the applicable statutes and regulations of each state in which the Shares will be offered and sold, except in such states in which such
Agent is exempt from registration or such registration is not otherwise required, during the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Agents will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the sale of Shares pursuant to this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
9. Conditions to the Agents’ Obligations. The obligations of the Agents hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations
and warranties made by the Company herein, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, to the completion by the Agents of a due diligence review satisfactory to the Agents in their reasonable judgment, and to the continuing
satisfaction (or waiver by the Agents in their sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:
(a) Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for the offer and sale of all Shares that have been
issued or are contemplated to be issued pursuant to all Placement Notices that have been delivered to the Agents by the Company.
(b) Prospectus Supplement. The Company shall have filed with the Commission the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act not later
than the Commission’s close of business on the second Business Day following the date of this Agreement.
(c) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any request for additional information
from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or other order preventing or suspending the use of
the Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any material statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any material document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will
not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not
contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) No Misstatement or Material Omission. The Agents shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in the Agents’ reasonable opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in the Agents’ opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.
(e) Material Changes. Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, there shall not have been any
material adverse change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized capital stock of the Company or any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or
withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities, the effect
of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of the Agents (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus.
(f) Legal Opinion. The Agents shall have received the opinion and negative assurance letter of Company Counsel and the opinion of Company Indiana Counsel, each as
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(n) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinions are required pursuant to Section 7(n).
(g) Comfort Letter. The Agents shall have received the Comfort Letter or Comfort Letters, as applicable, required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(o) on or before the date on which such delivery of such Comfort Letter or Comfort Letters, as applicable, are required pursuant to Section 7(o).

letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Company shall have furnished the Agents with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as the Agents shall have reasonably
requested.
(k) Securities Act Filings Made. All filings with the Commission required by Rule 424(b) and Rule 433 under the Securities Act to have been filed prior to the
issuance of any Placement Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) of the Securities Act) and Rule 433.
(l) Approval for Listing. The Shares shall have been approved for listing on the Exchange, subject only to notice of issuance.
(m) No Termination Event. There shall not have occurred any event that would permit the Agents to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(a).
10. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, their directors, officers, members, partners, employees and
agents and each Agent Affiliate, if any, as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid
in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement
or omission; provided
that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Agents), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
relating to the Agents that has been furnished in writing to the Company by the Agents expressly for inclusion in any document described in clause (i) of this Section
10(a). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification by the Agents. The Agents agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Company against
any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section 10(a), as and when incurred, but only with
respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433) or the Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Agents that has been furnished to the Company by the Agents expressly for inclusion in any document as described in clause (i) of Section 10(a).
(c) Procedure. Any indemnified party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 10 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 10, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10
and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 10 unless, and only to the extent that,
such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party
will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection
with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of
counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) that there may be legal defenses available to it
or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of
such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It
is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm
admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party
will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 10 (whether or not any
indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding and (2) 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.
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of
this Section 10 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 10(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds
from the sale of the Shares (net of commissions to the Agents but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Agents from the sale of Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the
allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence
but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agents, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and
the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in
respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(d) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 10(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 10(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
10(d), neither BTIG nor Moelis shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by such Agent individually under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any officers, directors, members, partners, employees or agents of the Agents, will have the same rights to
contribution as that party, and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution,
promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 10(d),
will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 10(d) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from
whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10(c) hereof, no party will be liable for
contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 10(c) hereof.
11. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section
10 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company and the Agents herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or
on behalf of the Agents, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
12. Termination.
(a) Each
Agent shall have the right, by giving notice as hereinafter specified in Section 13, at any time to terminate this Agreement, as to itself, if: (i) any
Material Adverse Effect, or any development that has actually occurred and that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, has occurred that, in the reasonable judgment of the Agents, may materially impair the ability of
the Agents to sell the Shares hereunder; (ii) there has occurred any (A) material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, (B) outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other
calamity or crisis (including, without limitation, any epidemic or pandemic, as determined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control or the United Nations World Health Organization, other than any epidemic or pandemic existing as of the date of
this Agreement) or (C) change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Agents, may materially
impair the ability of the Agents to sell the Shares hereunder; (iii) trading in the Common Stock has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the Exchange, or if trading generally on the Exchange has been suspended or limited (including
automatic halt in trading pursuant to market-decline triggers other than those in which solely program trading is temporarily halted), or minimum prices for trading have been fixed on the Exchange; (iv) any suspension of trading of any securities
of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing; (v) a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) a
banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities. Any such termination pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall be without
liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions of Section 7(g) (Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification), Section 11 (Survival of Representations), Section 12(f), Section 17 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 18 (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(b) The
Company shall have the right, by giving five (5) days notice as hereinafter specified in Section 13, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at
any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except that the provisions of Section 7(g),
Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17 and Section 18 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(c) Each
Agent shall have the right, by giving five (5) days notice as hereinafter specified in Section 13, to terminate this Agreement, as to itself, in its sole
discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section
7(g), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17 and Section 18 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(d) Unless
earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 12, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Shares through the
Agents on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided that the provisions of Section 7(g), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17
and Section 18 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(e) This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), (b), (c), or (d) above or
otherwise by mutual agreement of the Parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed
to provide that Section 7(g), Section 10, Section 11, Section 12(f), Section 17 and Section 18 shall remain in full force and effect.
(f) Any
termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agents or the Company, as the case
may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Shares, such termination shall not become effective until the close of business on such Settlement Date and such Shares shall settle in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.
13. Notices.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Agent

14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Agents and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, as to Sections 5(b) and 10, the other indemnified parties specified
therein. References to any of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any
rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
other party; provided, however, that the Agents may assign their rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of the Agents without
obtaining the Company’s consent.
15. Adjustments for Stock Splits. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted to take into account any stock split, stock
dividend or similar event effected with respect to the Common Stock.
16. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement
and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a
written instrument executed by the Company and the Agents. In the event that any one or more of the terms or provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as written by a
court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such term or provision and the remainder of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the
Parties as reflected in this Agreement.
17. GOVERNING LAW AND TIME; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME. THE COMPANY AND THE AGENTS EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO

THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY
CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF (CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO

19. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Each
of the Agents are acting solely as agent in connection with the sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the Company or any of its respective
affiliates, stockholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
irrespective of whether the Agents have advised or are advising the Company on other matters, and the Agents have no obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except the obligations expressly set
forth in this Agreement;
(b) The
Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

deemed appropriate;
(d) The
Company is aware that the Agents and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and the Agents have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to
the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or otherwise; and
(e) The
Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Agents for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Agents shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect, in
contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, partners, employees or creditors of the
Company.
20. Effect of Headings; Knowledge of the Company. The section and Exhibit headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. All references in this Agreement to
the “knowledge of the Company” or the “Company’s knowledge” or similar qualifiers shall mean the actual knowledge of the directors and officers of the Company, after due inquiry.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile or electronic transmission. Any signature (including, without limitation, (x) any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other
record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record and (y) any facsimile, E-pencil or .pdf signature) hereto or to any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement, and any
contract formation or record-keeping, in each case, through electronic means, shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this Agreement.
