2.             REGISTRATION
RIGHTS.


 


2.1           Demand
Registration.


 


2.1.1 Request for Registration. At
any time and from time to time on or after (i) the date that the Company consummates a Business Combination with respect to
the Private Units (or underlying shares of Common Stock) and Over-Allotment Units (or underlying shares of Common Stock) or (ii) three
months prior to the Release Date with respect to all other Registrable Securities, the holders of a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities, as the case may be, held by the Investors, officers or directors of the Company or their affiliates, or
the transferees of the Investors, may make a written demand, on no more than two occasions, for registration under the Securities
Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities, as the case may be (a “Demand Registration”). Any
demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended
method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder
of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration
(each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”)
shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such
request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject
to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than
an aggregate of one (1) Demand Registration under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of all Registrable Securities. Additionally,
the right to a Demand Registration set forth under this Section 2.1.1 with respect to the Registrable Securities shall terminate
on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date.


 


2.1.2 Effective Registration. A registration
will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand
Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect
thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other
governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will 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 thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the
Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted
as a Demand Registration or is terminated.


 


2.1.3 Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration,
the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering.
In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such
holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting
to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting
shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting
by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.


 


2.1.4 Reduction of Offering. If the
managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the
Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire
to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares
of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights
held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that
can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the
probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum
Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities
as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that
each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such
proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i),
the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Shares; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is
obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the
Maximum Number of Shares.


 


2.1.5 Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities
in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written
notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders
withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration
provided for in Section 2.1.


 






    3


     


    

 


2.2           Piggy-Back
Registration.


 


2.2.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If at any
time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement
under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable
for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account
(or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than
a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange
offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is
convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give
written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than
ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included
in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters,
if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register
the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following
receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities
to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed
underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms
and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute
their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. Notwithstanding the
provisions set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, the right to a Piggy-Back Registration set forth under this Section 2.2.1
with respect to the Registrable Securities shall terminate on the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date.


 


2.2.2 Reduction of Offering. If the
managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and
the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the Company desires
to sell, taken together with the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written
contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as
to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration
has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds
the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:


 


a)       If
the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities
that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent
that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities,
if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual
piggy-back registration rights of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and
(B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register
pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Shares;


 






    4


     


    

 


b)       If
the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the holders of Registrable
Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be
sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not
been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised
of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other
persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.


 


2.2.3 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable
Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration
by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The
Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual
obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such
Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.


 


2.2.4 Registrations on Form S-3.
The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request in writing that the Company register the resale
of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which may be available at
such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such
request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of
the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration
of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together
with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company, if any, of any other holder or holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice
from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, together
with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable
Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.


 


3.             REGISTRATION
PROCEDURES.


 


3.1           Filings;
Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2,

intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:


 


3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement.
The Company shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant

to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts
to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep it effective for the period required
by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty
(30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which
such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by Chief Executive
Officer or Chairman of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would
be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided
further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in this provision more than once in
any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will
not contain an 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 promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in
such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement
or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish
to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders,
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with

or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their
legal counsel shall object.

under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders 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

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

existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction
on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed

Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from
and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which
the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or
summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising
out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation
promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with
any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus,
or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing,
by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities,
their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially
the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.


 






    8


     


    

 


4.2           Indemnification
by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration
is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each Underwriter (if any), and each other selling
holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered
under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement,
or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder
expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling
person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and
not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.


 


4.3           Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability
or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified
Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder,
notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and
solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification
with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate
in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the
defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the
Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but
no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability
arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with
the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such
Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry
of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.


 


4.4           Contribution.


 


4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for
in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability
or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the
actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.


 






    9


     


    

 


4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 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 the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.


 


4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified
Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of
Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment
of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


5.             RULE
144.


 


5.1           Rule 144.
The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.


 


6.             MISCELLANEOUS.


 


6.1           Other
Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that, except as disclosed in the Company’s registration statement
on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252044), no person, other than the holders of the Registrable Securities, has any right to
require the Company to register any of the Company’s share capital for sale or to include the Company’s share capital
in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of share capital for its own account or for the account of any other person.


 


6.2          Assignment;
No Third Party Beneficiaries. 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. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable
Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the
extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties, to the permitted assigns of the Investors or holder of Registrable
Securities or of any assignee of the Investors or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any
rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2.


 


6.3           Notices.
All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”)
required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram,
telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by
written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram,
telex or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a business day or is after normal business hours,
then such notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given
on the next business day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable air courier service with an order for next-day
delivery.

provided that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and
specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default
waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall
be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver
or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance

under this Agreement, the Investor or any other holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights
by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction
against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal
or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers
or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative
and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law,
in equity, by statute or otherwise.

provisions thereof that would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.


 


6.12     Waiver
of Trial by Jury. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to a trial by jury in any action, suit,
counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or relating to this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the actions of the Investor in the negotiation, administration, performance
or enforcement hereof.
