REGISTRATIONS


 


Section 2.01 Demand Registration.


 


a) Request
for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.01(d) and Section 2.04 hereof,
at any time and from time to time on or after the date the Company consummates its initial Business Combination, the Holders of
at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”)
may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe
the amount and type 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”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days
after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from
a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, 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 three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under
this subsection 2.01(a) 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 may be available at such time (“Form S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities
requested 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 3.01 of this Agreement.


 


b) Effective
Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.01(a) 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 a 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 subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or
state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not
to have been declared effective, unless and until, (x) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated,
and (y) 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; 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.


 






    5


     


    

 


c) Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.01(d) and Section 2.04 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
2.01(c) 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.


 


d) Reduction
of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the
dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell,
taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity 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 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 such 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 and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included
in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting
Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”))
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company
desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that
the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Common Stock or other equity
securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written
contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.


 






    6


     


    

 


e) Demand
Registration Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest
of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.01(a) shall have the right
to withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification
to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible
for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal
under this subsection 2.01(e).


 


Section 2.02 Piggyback Registration.


 


a) Piggyback
Rights. If, at any time on or after the date the Company consummates its initial 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, for its own account or for the account of
stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant
to Section 2.01 hereof), 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
stockholders, (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 give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement,
which notice shall (A) 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, in such offering, and (B) offer
to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities
as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback
Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback
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 by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.02(a) to be included
in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration
and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution
thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection
2.02(a) shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten
Offering by the Company.


 




    7


     


    

 


b) Reduction
of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback
Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration
in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the
shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements
with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to
which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common
Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights
of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:


 


i.
If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first,
Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A),
the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.02(a) hereof,
Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration
has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;


 


ii.
If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the
Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting
persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A),
the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection
2.02(a), pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten
Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten
Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities
that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to
the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), Common
Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant
to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities.

c) Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his,
her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed
with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as
the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration
Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.02(c).


 


d) Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof
shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.01 hereof.


 


Section 2.03 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, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission),
register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement
that 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. Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt
of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall
promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and
each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder
of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than twelve (12) days after the Company’s
initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall register all or such portion of
such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable
Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder
or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration
pursuant to this Section 2.03 if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of
Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such
Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the
public of less than $10,000,000.


 




    9


     


    

 


Section 2.04 Restrictions
on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s
good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date
of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt
of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.01(a) and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all
reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an
Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain 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. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Registration shall be effected or permitted and no Registration Statement shall
become effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities held by any Holder, until after the expiration of the Founder Shares
Lock-Up Period or the Private Placement Lock-Up Period, as the case may be.

obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;


 


h) 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 or its counsel;


 


i) 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 3.04 hereof;


 


j) permit
a representative of the 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;


 






    11


     


    

 


k) obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration, 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;


 


l) 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;


 


m) 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 Underwritten Offering;


 


n) 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);


 


o) if the
Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable
best 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


 


p) 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.


 


Section 3.02 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.


 






    12


     


    

 


Section 3.03 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 (a) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (b) 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.


 


Section 3.04 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 he, she or 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 he,
she or 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 3.04.


 


Section 3.05 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 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.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION


 


Section 4.01 Indemnification.


 


a) 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, without limitation, reasonable 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.


 


b) 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.


 


c) 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 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.


 






    14


     


    

 


d) 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.


 


e) If the
indemnification provided under Section 4.01 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 4.01(e) 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 4.01(a), 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) 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 4.01(e) 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 4.01(e). 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 4.01(e) from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in

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.

shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this

an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced. A signed

    16


     


    

 


Section 5.04 Governing Law;
Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY
AGREE THAT 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 THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN NEW
YORK COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


 


EACH PARTY
HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT

Section 5.05 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 his, her
or 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.

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.


 


Section 5.07 Term. This
Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, (b) the date
as of which (x) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior

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 or (c) with respect to a particular Holder, the date as of which all Registrable Securities
held by such Holder have been sold (x) 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))
