A&R Voting Agreement

In connection with the Chisholm Purchase Agreement, the Issuer, certain of the Reporting Persons and EnCap Investments L.P. entered into an amended and restated voting agreement (the “A&R Voting Agreement”), which amended and restated the Voting Agreement. The A&R Voting Agreement provides the Reporting Persons the same right to appoint one director to the Issuer’s Board as provided under the Voting Agreement, and does not modify the obligations of the Reporting Persons and EnCap Investments L.P. to vote all of their shares of Common Stock for the Board’s nominees for election as directors at any meeting of the Issuer’s shareholders. The A&R Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the first date on which the Reporting Persons and their respective permitted transferees collectively beneficially own less than 8% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock, (b) the first date on which the Reporting Persons and their respective permitted transferees collectively beneficially own less than 10% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock as a result of a sale by the Reporting Persons (other than affiliate transfers) and (c) the date on which the Reporting Persons and their respective permitted transferees deliver written notice to the other parties terminating the A&R Voting Agreement.

Chisholm Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Chisholm Registration Rights Agreement”) with Chisholm and certain of the Reporting Persons pursuant to which the Issuer granted shelf registration rights and piggyback registration rights to such stockholders, for the resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the Common Stock held by them, subject to certain conditions set forth therein.

Chisholm Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the Chisholm Purchase Agreement, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Chisholm Lock-Up Agreement”) with the Issuer providing that such Reporting Persons will not transfer any of the shares received pursuant to the Chisholm Purchase Agreement for a period of 120 days after the Chisholm Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

Escrow Agreement

In connection with the Chisholm Purchase Agreement, the Issuer, EEH, Chisholm and Direct Transfer, LLC, the Issuer’s transfer agent, entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which the Escrow Shares were placed in escrow for any amounts due by Chisholm to the Issuer pursuant to the indemnification provisions in the Chisholm Purchase Agreement. Subject to customary holdbacks for any pending indemnification claims, 50% of the remaining Escrow Shares will be disbursed on August 15, 2022 and the remainder on February 15, 2023.

The foregoing descriptions of the A&R Voting Agreement, the Chisholm Registration Rights Agreement, the Chisholm Lock-Up Agreement and the Escrow Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

The last three paragraphs of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D set forth under the heading “General” are hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D in connection with the closings of the Purchase Agreement and the Chisholm Purchase Agreement and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

Subject to the Chisholm Lock-Up Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, subject to the terms of the A&R Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board, and stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
