(ii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a
lien or encumbrance on any of the Stockholder Securities owned by the Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture,

by which the Stockholder or the Stockholder Securities owned by the Stockholder is bound.


 


(b) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder

or limitation on the Stockholder’s voting rights, charge or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever (“Encumbrance”)
with respect to the Stockholder Securities, directly or indirectly, or initiate, solicit or encourage any person to take actions
which could reasonably be expected to lead to the occurrence of any of the foregoing.

Assurances. The Stockholder shall execute and deliver such further documents and instruments and take all further action as
may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good

SECTION 4.06. Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed
by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of Delaware. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby,
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. The parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the foregoing courts
and consent that any process or notice of motion or other application to any of said courts or a judge thereof may be served inside
or outside the State of New York or the Southern District of New York by registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to
the party being served at its address set forth on the signature ages to this Agreement (and service so made shall be deemed complete
three (3) days after the same has been posted as aforesaid) or by personal service or in such other manner as may be permissible
under the rules of said courts. Each of the Company and the Stockholder irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought
in such a court and any claim that suit, action, or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


SECTION 4.07. Termination.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate immediately following the occurrence of the Shareholder Approval.
