2.1 Demand Registration.


 


2.1.1 Request for Registration. Subject
to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time on or after the
date the Company consummates a Business Combination, either (i) the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities held
by the Existing Holders, their affiliates and transferees, or (ii) the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
held by the New Holders, their affiliates and transferees (the “Demanding Holders”) may make

of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”).
The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other
Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a
portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes
all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”)

receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s), such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled
to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon
thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration,
the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration.
Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of four (4) Registrations pursuant to a Demand
Registration under this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however,
that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that

by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance
with Section 3.1 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each of (a) the holders of a majority-in-interest of

Registrable Securities.


 


2.1.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration
shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration
pursuant to the Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its
obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that if, after such Registration Statement
has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with

with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction
is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration
thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later
than five (5) days, of such election; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required
to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated. 


 


2.1.3 Underwritten Offering. Subject
to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the
Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder
(if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such
Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided
herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection
2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten
Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.

securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate
written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum
dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed
offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of the Underwritten Offering (such maximum dollar amount
or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”),
then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding
Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder

the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would
be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration
Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement
to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the
Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however,
that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.


 


ARTICLE III


COMPANY PROCEDURES


 


3.1 General Procedures. If at any time
on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable
Securities, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:


 


3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission as
soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
have been sold;


 


3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be requested by
any Holder or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to
the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement
effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution
set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;


 


3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement
or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and each Holder of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration, and each such Holder’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed
to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated
by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other
documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such
Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;


 






    10


     


    

 


3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable
Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under
such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included
in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary
to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that
may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action
to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;


 


3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to
be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;


 


3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent,
as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;


 


3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable
Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending
the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use
its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;


 


3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the
filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller
of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters
received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus; 


 


3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus
relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result
of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such
Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;


 


3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders
(such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant
retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration
Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that
such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and provided further, the Company may not include the name of any Holder
or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement
to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or
Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter and providing each
such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall
include unless contrary to applicable law;


 






    11


     


    

 


3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter
from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration which the participating
Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters
as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;


 


3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities
are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering
such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales
agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably
satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;


 


3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of
such offering;


 


3.1.14 make available to its security holders,
as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first
day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter
by the Commission);


 


3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration
of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives
of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in
any Underwritten Offering; and


 


3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably
with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.


 


3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration
Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental
selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees,
Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees
and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.


 


3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten
Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration
initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements. 


 






    12


     


    

 


3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.
Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders
shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as
soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may
be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time
would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements
that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice
of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest
period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose.
In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt
of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell
Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its
rights under this Section 3.4. and, upon the expiration of any such period, the Holders shall be entitled to resume the
use of any such Prospectus in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.


 


3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long
as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act,
covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to
be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take
such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares
of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided
by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including
providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly
authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.


 


ARTICLE IV


INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION


 


4.1 Indemnification.


 


4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the
extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused
by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished
in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors
and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing
with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.


 






    13


     


    

 


4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement
in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and
affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent
permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information
or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;  The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify
the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation
to indemnify under this Section 4.01(b) shall be several, not joint and several, among the Holders of Registrable Securities, and the
total indemnification liability of a Holder under this Section 4.01(b) shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received
by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.


 


4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification
herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
(provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent
such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment
a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying
party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the
indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim
shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without
the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all
respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which
settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release
from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.


 


4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or
any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.


 


4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof
from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying
party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall
be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations
set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges
or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or
by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection
4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

5.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.


 


5.2.1 This Agreement and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part.


 


5.2.2 Prior to the expiration of the Founder
Shares Lock-up Period, New Holder Lock-up Period or the Private Placement Lock-up Period, as the case may be, no Holder may assign or
delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection with a transfer
of Registrable Securities by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee but only if such Permitted Transferee agrees to become bound by the
transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Insider Letter, the Anchor Investor Subscription Agreements and other applicable
agreements.


 


5.2.3 This Agreement and the provisions hereof
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and the permitted assigns of the Holders,
which shall include Permitted Transferees.


 


5.2.4 This Agreement shall not confer any rights
or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and Section 5.2 hereof.


 






    15


     


    

 


5.2.5 No assignment by any party hereto of such
party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall
have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof and (ii) the written
agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement
(which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as
provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.


 


5.3 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The words “execution,” signed,” “signature,”
and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include
images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”,
“tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). 
The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated,
sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, 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, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable
law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.


 


5.4 Governing Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT (I) THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO
AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION AND (II) THE
VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 


 


5.5 Amendments and Modifications. Upon
the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question,
compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions,
covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any
amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock
of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder
so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of
a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies
of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as
a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.


 


5.6 Other Registration Rights. The
Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to
register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company
for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that
this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a
conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.


 


5.7 Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date as of which (A) all of the
Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to
in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by
the Commission)) or (B) the Holders of all Registrable Securities are permitted to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144
(or any similar provision) under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale and without
compliance with the current public reporting requirements set forth under Rule 144(i)(2). The provisions of Section 3.5 and
Article IV shall survive any termination.
