REGISTRATIONS


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
the 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
five (5) 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 three (3) business 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 2.1.1 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 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 3.1 of this Agreement; provided, further,
that an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall not count as a Demand Registration.


 






     


     


    

 


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 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,
(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; 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 Underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering by the
majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.


 


2.1.4. Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing
Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in good faith, advise 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), the 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),
the 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.


 


2.1.5. 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 2.1.1 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 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 2.1.5.


 






     


     


    

 


2.2. Piggyback Registration.


 


2.2.1. Piggyback 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, 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 2.1 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 seven (7) 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 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 three (3) 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 Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested
by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 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 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the Underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The notice periods set forth in this subsection
2.2.1 shall not apply to an Underwritten Shelf Takedown conducted in accordance with subsection 2.3.3.


 


2.2.2. Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing
Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback Registration (other than Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in
good faith, advise the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing
that the dollar amount or number of the shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the 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 Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the 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:


 


(a) If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s
account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the 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 2.2.1, Pro Rata, 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), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual
piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, 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), the 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;


 






     


     


    

 


(b) 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, the 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 2.2.1, Pro Rata, 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), the 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), the 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.


 


2.2.3. 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 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 2.2.3.


 


2.2.4. Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes
of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to
a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.


 


2.3. Shelf Registrations.


 


2.3.1. 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 similar
short form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”), or if the Company
is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1; a registration statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 (a “Shelf”)
shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally
available to, and requested by, any Holder. Within three (3) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder
or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed
Registration 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 shall so notify the Company, in writing,
within three (3) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not
more than ten (10) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on a Shelf, 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 subsection 2.3.1 if 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. The Company shall maintain
each Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Shelf.
In the event the Company files a Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form
S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.


 






     


     


    

 


2.3.2. If any Shelf ceases to be effective
under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon are still outstanding, the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective
under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf),
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably
expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration
statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities including
on such Shelf, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent
Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration
to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such
Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities
Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included thereon. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration
shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration
shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale
on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, a Shelf (including
by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable
after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however,
the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered once annually after inquiry of the Holders.


 


2.3.3. At any time and from time to time after a Shelf has been
declared effective by the Commission, the Sponsor may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten
offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided
that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with
a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed,
in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company
at least 48 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number
of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting
discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the
securities requested to be included by any holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least 24 hours
prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights
of such holder (including to those set forth herein). The Sponsor shall have the right to select the underwriter(s) for such offering
(which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to
this subsection 2.3.3 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section
2.1 hereof.


 


2.3.4. If the managing Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar
amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken
together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of
Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities
of the Sponsor 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), the 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), the Common Stock or other equity
securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, if any, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, determined
Pro Rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Takedown Requesting Holder has so requested to be included
in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.


 


2.3.5. The Sponsor shall have the right to withdraw from an
Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriters (if any)
of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf
Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses
incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to a withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.5.


 






     


     


    

 


2.4. 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 2.1.1 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.


 


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 the
Holders or any Underwriters 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 the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration, and such Holders’ 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 the Holders 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;


 


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 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 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 (other than by way of a document
incorporated by reference) furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel;


 


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, the Underwriters,
if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriters 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, Underwriters, 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;


 


3.1.11. 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 Underwriters 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 Underwriters 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 Underwriters 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 Underwriters
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.


 


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.


 


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, to the extent that such
rule or such successor rule is available to the Company), 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.


 


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; provided, however, that the obligation to
indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each
such Holder of Registrable Securities 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. 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.


 






     


     


    

 


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 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. The Company and each Holder
of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified
party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for
any reason.


 


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.





 






     


     


    

 


ARTICLE V 


STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS


 


5.1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
at any time and from time to time on or after the date that the Company consummates a Business Combination and for so long as the
Sponsor holds any Registrable Securities:


 


5.1.1. The Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to designate three individuals to be appointed or nominated, as the case may be, for election to the Board (including any successor,
each, a “Nominee”) by giving written notice to the Company on or before the time such information is
reasonably requested by the Board or the Nominating Committee of the Board, as applicable, for inclusion in a proxy statement for
a meeting of stockholders provided to the Sponsor.


 


5.1.2. The Company will, as promptly as practicable, use its
best efforts to take all necessary and desirable actions (including, without limitation, calling special meetings of the Board
and the stockholders and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies) so that there are three Sponsor Directors serving on
the Board at all times.


 


5.1.3. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, use its best efforts to take all actions necessary to ensure that: (i) each Nominee is included in the Board’s
slate of nominees to the stockholders of the Company for each election of Directors; and (ii) each Nominee is included in the proxy
statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with soliciting proxies for every meeting of the stockholders of
the Company called with respect to the election of members of the Board, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and
on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of
members of the Board.


 


5.1.4. If a vacancy occurs because of the death, disability,
disqualification, resignation, or removal of a Sponsor Director or for any other reason, the Sponsor shall be entitled to designate
such person’s successor, and the Company will, as promptly as practicable following such designation, use its best efforts
to take all necessary and desirable actions, to the fullest extent permitted by law, within its control such that such vacancy
shall be filled with such successor Nominee.


 


5.1.5. If a Nominee is not elected because of such Nominee’s
death, disability, disqualification, withdrawal as a nominee or for any other reason, the Sponsor shall be entitled to designate
promptly another Nominee and the Company will take all necessary and desirable actions within its control such that the director
position for which such Nominee was nominated shall not be filled pending such designation or the size of the Board shall be increased
by one and such vacancy shall be filled with such successor Nominee as promptly as practicable following such designation.


 


5.1.6. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the request
of any Sponsor Director, the Company shall enter into an indemnification agreement with such Sponsor Director, in the form entered
into with the other members of the Board. The Company shall pay the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Sponsor Director in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf of the Company, including attending meetings or
events attended explicitly on behalf of the Company at the Company’s request.


 


5.1.7. The Company shall (i) purchase directors’ and officers’
liability insurance in an amount determined by the Board to be reasonable and customary and (ii) for so long as a Sponsor Director
serves as a Director of the Company, maintain such coverage with respect to such Sponsor Director; provided that upon removal
or resignation of such Sponsor Director for any reason, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to extend such
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of not less than six years from any such event in
respect of any act or omission occurring at or prior to such event.


 


5.1.8. For so long as a Sponsor Director
serves as a Director of the Company, the Company shall not amend, alter or repeal any right to indemnification or exculpation
covering or benefiting any Director nominated pursuant to this Agreement as and to the extent consistent with applicable law,
whether such right is contained in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or second amended
and restated bylaws, each as amended, or another document (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits the
Company to provide broader indemnification or exculpation rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto).


 


5.1.9. Each Nominee may, but does not need to qualify as “independent”
pursuant to listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (or such other national securities exchange upon which the Company’s
securities are then listed).





 






     


     


    

 


5.1.10. Any Nominee will be subject to the Company’s customary
due diligence process, including its review of a completed questionnaire and a background check. Based on the foregoing, the Company
may object to any Nominee provided (a) it does so in good faith, and (b) such objection is based upon any of the following: (i)
such Nominee was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
and other minor offenses), (ii) such Nominee was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree not subsequently reversed, suspended
or vacated of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining such proposed director from, or otherwise
limiting, the following activities: (A) engaging in any type of business practice, or (B) engaging in any activity in connection
with the purchase or sale of any security or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws, (iii) such Nominee
was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority
barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described in
clause (ii)(B), or to be associated with persons engaged in such activity, (iv) such proposed director was found by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment
in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or (v) such proposed
director was the subject of, or a party to any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding,
not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to a violation of any federal or state securities laws or regulations.
In the event the Board reasonably finds the Nominee to be unsuitable based upon one or more of the foregoing clauses (i) through
(v) and reasonably objects to the identified director, Sponsor shall be entitled to propose a different nominee to the Board within
30 calendar days of the Company’s notice to Sponsor of its objection to the Nominee and such replacement Nominee shall be
subject to the review process outlined above.


 


5.1.11. The Company shall take all necessary action to cause
a Nominee chosen by the Sponsor, at the request of such Nominee to be elected to the board of directors (or similar governing body)
of each material operating subsidiary of the Company. The Nominee, as applicable, shall have the right to attend (in person or
remotely) any meetings of the board of directors (or similar governing body or committee thereof) of each subsidiary of the Company.

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.


 


6.9. Titles and Headings. Titles and headings of sections
of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.


 


6.10. Waivers and Extensions. Any party to this
Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right to waive, 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 of any other obligations or acts.


 






     


     


    

 


6.11. Remedies Cumulative. In the event that the Company
fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Holders 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.


 


6.12. 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.


 


6.13. Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier
of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the date as of which no Registrable Securities remain outstanding.
The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.
