Section 2. Registration Rights 

2.1 Shelf Registration. (a) At any time and from time to time on or after the date that the Company is eligible to use a Shelf
Registration Statement in connection with a public offering of its securities held by any Holder, any Holder may deliver to the Company a written notice (a “Shelf Registration Notice”) requiring the Company to prepare and file with
the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to resales of some or all Registrable Securities by the Holders as promptly as practicable after receiving the Shelf Registration Notice, but in no event more than 45 days following
receipt of such notice. Unless such Shelf Registration Statement shall become automatically effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the
Commission for all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby as promptly as practicable following delivery of the Shelf Registration Notice (if it is not an automatically effective Shelf Registration Statement) but in no event later than
90 days after the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement. To the extent the Company is a WKSI at the time that the Shelf Registration Statement is to be filed, the Company shall file an automatic Shelf Registration Statement which covers
such Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf 

  
 4 








 
Registration Statement (or a successor Registration Statement filed with respect to the Registrable Securities) continuously effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration Statement if
the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires) in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be lawfully delivered and the Shelf Registration Statement useable for resale of the Registrable Securities, so long as there are any
Registrable Securities outstanding (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). 
 (b) Shelf Offerings. Upon the written
request of a Holder (“Shelf Offering Notice”) to the Company from time to time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a “takedown” of Registrable
Securities off of the Shelf Registration Statement by such Holder (“Shelf Offering”) by amending or supplementing the Prospectus related to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by such Holder as promptly
as reasonably practicable upon receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice and taking other actions contemplated by Section 3.1 that may be applicable to such Shelf Offering. Neither the Company nor any stockholder of the Company
(other than the Holders) may include securities in any offering requested under Section 2.1 of this Agreement. 

(c) Non-Shelf Demand Registration. At any time and from time, if the Company has not effected or is not diligently pursuing a
Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or the Company is not eligible to file a Shelf Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be effective, any Holder may deliver to the
Company a written notice (a “Non-Shelf Demand Registration Notice”) informing the Company that the Holder requires the Company to register for resale some or all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities (a “Non-Shelf
Demand Registration”). Upon receipt of the Non-Shelf Demand Registration Notice, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission as promptly as practicable after receiving the Non-Shelf Demand
Registration Notice, but in no event more than 45 days following receipt of such notice, a Registration Statement covering all requested Registrable Securities (the “Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement”), and agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof, but in no event later than 90 days after the filing
of such Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement. The Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to keep any Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement continuously effective (including the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements
necessary for that purpose) for a period of not less than 60 days (“Minimum Effective Period”). All offers and sales by a Holder under a Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement shall be completed within the period during which
such Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement remains effective and not the subject of any stop order, injunction or other order of the Commission. Upon notice that such Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement is no longer effective, no Holder will
offer or sell the Registrable Securities under the Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement. 
 (d) Notice to Holders. The
Company shall give written notice of the proposed filing of any Shelf Registration Statement or Non-Shelf Demand Registration Statement to all Holders as soon as practicable, and each Holder who wishes to participate in such Registration Statement
shall notify the Company in writing within five Business Days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company, and shall specify in such notice the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the applicable Registration
Statement. 

  
 5 








 (e) Underwritten Offerings. If any registration or offering pursuant to
Section 2.1 involves an underwritten offering (whether on a “firm,” “best efforts” or “all reasonable efforts” basis or otherwise), or an agented offering, the Majority Selling Holders shall have the right to
select the underwriter or underwriters and manager or managers to administer such underwritten offering or the placement agent or agents for such agented offering.

2.2 Piggy-Back Registration Rights. (a) To the extent a Holder’s Registrable Securities have not been registered
pursuant to Section 2.1(a), if (i) the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities by the Company for its own account (other than a Shelf
Registration Statement relating to primary offerings by the Company) or for any of the other security holders of the Company for their account (other than pursuant to Section 2.1) or (ii) equity securities of the Company are to
be sold in an underwritten offering (whether or not for the account of the Company) (other than pursuant to Section 2.1) pursuant to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement or a Registration Statement covering the Registrable
Securities, then the Company shall (i) give prompt written notice of such proposed filing and/or offering to all Holders if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is used in such offering or, if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is
not used, those Holders with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, as soon as practicable but in no event less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement or anticipated
date of pricing of such underwritten offering, which notice shall, subject to the Holder agreeing in writing to keep such information confidential, 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(s) or Agent, if any, of the offering, and (ii) offer to the Holders in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of or include in such offering, as applicable, such number
of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five Business Days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any
securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration or prior to the pricing of any such underwritten offering, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or
to delay registration of such securities or to discontinue such underwritten offering, as applicable, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, (x) in the case of a determination not to
register or to discontinue such offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration or undertake such offering, as applicable, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay
registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall cause all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a
non-underwritten registration to be included in such registration and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering (or Agent with respect to an agented offering) to permit the
inclusion of the Registrable Securities requested in such underwritten or agented offering to be so included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the managing underwriter(s) to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through a
Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter(s) or Agent shall (i) in connection with such distribution enter into an underwriting or agency agreement, as applicable, in reasonable and customary form with the


  
 6 








 
underwriter(s) or Agent selected by the Company or the Person exercising demand registration rights, as applicable, and (ii) complete and execute all questionnaires, powers-of-attorney,
indemnities, opinions and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement or agency agreement, as applicable; provided, that any such indemnities, contribution or expense reimbursement obligations shall
not be more onerous to the Holders than those set forth under Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement. 

(b) Withdrawal. Any Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any
Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the pricing of an underwritten offering, as applicable. The Company (whether on its own
determination or as the result of a withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement without thereby
incurring any liability to the Holders. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holders in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 5. 

Section 3. Additional Obligations of the Company and the Holders

of any Registrable Securities or facilitate or effect any offering pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall:

trade, promptly enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and
consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein) and promptly take all other customary actions at such times as customarily occur in similar registered offerings in order to facilitate the disposition of

jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors and officers (including each director and officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement), and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as follows: 

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, action, cost, judgment and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out
of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which the Registrable Securities of such Holder were registered under the Securities
Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of or based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the
aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged
untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Holder; and 
 (iii) against any
and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, defending against or participating in (as a witness or otherwise) any litigation, or investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether or not a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent
that any such expense is not paid under subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above; 
 provided, however, that the indemnity provided
pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall only apply with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, action, cost judgment or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in 

  
 12 








 
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.2, a Holder and any permitted assignee shall not be required to indemnify the Company, its officers, directors or control persons with respect to
any amount in excess of the amount of the total net proceeds to the Holder or such permitted assignee, as the case may be, from sales of the Registrable Securities of the Holder under the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, that is
the subject of the indemnification claim. 
 4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. An indemnified party hereunder shall
give reasonably prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under the indemnity agreement provided in Section 4.1 or 4.2 above, unless and only to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the indemnified
party results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided under Section 4.1 or 4.2 above and the contribution obligation provided in Section 4.4 below. If the indemnifying party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt
of such notice, the indemnifying party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the
indemnified party unless such settlement, compromise or consent secures the unconditional release of the indemnified party and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any
indemnified party; and provided, further, that, if the indemnified party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel or that,
upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party (or in the situation where the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to
defend diligently the action or proceeding within 20 Business Days after receiving notice from the indemnified party that the indemnified party believes the indemnifying party has failed to do so), then the indemnifying party shall not be entitled
to assume such defense and the indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, claim or
proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
additional firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to
the preceding sentence, the indemnifying party’s counsel shall be entitled to conduct the indemnifying party’s defense and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the indemnified party, it being
understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the indemnifying party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such


  
 13 








 
action or does not assume such defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the indemnifying party, not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. If an indemnifying party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of
counsel for the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding. 
 4.4 Contribution. In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction to any indemnified party although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the relevant Holder shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, actions, costs, judgments and expenses of the nature
contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and the Holder, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holder on the other hand, in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, actions, costs, judgments or expenses. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. 
 The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that it would have been obligated to pay by way
of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 4.2 had been available under the circumstances. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 4.4, each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any of their partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
 In addition, no Person
shall be obligated to contribute hereunder for any amounts in payment for any settlement of any action or claim, effected without such Person’s written consent. 

4.5 Survival. The indemnification and contribution provisions in this Section 4 shall be a continuing right and shall survive
the registration and sale of any securities by any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution, as applicable hereunder, and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 Section 5. Registration Expenses 

The Company shall pay all expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its registration obligations under Section 2 above,
including (i) all expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing and distribution of any Registration Statement and Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) Commission and state securities registration,
listing and filing fees, (iii) all fees and expenses of complying with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the
securities and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions), (iv) all Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. fees and fees of any applicable stock exchange, (v) fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for the independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters), (vi) all internal expenses
of the Company (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties); (vii) the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company in connection with the
preparation of any Registration Statement; and (viii) the fees and disbursements of counsel representing the Holders registering Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and/or participating in the offering, as applicable.
Each Holder shall be responsible for the payment of any brokerage and sales commissions, fees and disbursements of the Holder’s accountants and other advisors (other than legal counsel to the Holders), and any transfer taxes relating to the
sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any other costs or expenses incurred by the Holders, including underwriting discounts or selling commissions
attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the Holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such Holders. In addition, in an underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company
shall bear the expenses of the underwriters, pro rata, in proportion to the respective amount of shares each sells in such offering. 

Section 6. Rule 144 Compliance 
 The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file as and when applicable, on a timely basis, all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep current public
information available as specified in paragraph (c) of Rule 144 (or any successor rule) promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as may be reasonably required from
time to time to enable the Holders to Transfer Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration. Upon the request of any
Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof, as well as any such other information as may be reasonably requested to allow such Holder to
sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. In connection with any Transfer of Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder to facilitate


  
 15 








 
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any Securities Act legend, and enable certificates for such Registrable
Securities to be for such number of shares and registered in such names as Holder may reasonably request at least five Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities hereunder or, if practicable, and at the request of such Holder, have
such Registrable Securities delivered electronically via DWAC through the Depository Trust Company. 
 Section 7. Miscellaneous 

7.1 Additional Agreements; Certain Transactions. 

(a) In the event that any Common Shares or other securities are issued in respect of, or in exchange for, or in substitution of the
Registrable Securities by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, share dividend, split-up, sale of assets, distribution to stockholders or combination of
the shares or any other similar change in the Company’s capital structure, the Company agrees that appropriate adjustments shall be made to this Agreement to ensure that the Holders have, immediately after consummation of such transaction,
substantially the same rights from the Company or another issuer of securities, as applicable, as it has immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction in respect of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement. 

(b) The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to the Company’s securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted
to the Holders under this Agreement, and no such agreement is currently in effect. 
 7.2 In-Kind Distributions. If any Holder
seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities to its direct or indirect equity holders, the Company will cooperate with such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind
distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Holder and consistent with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Act. 

7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement. The express terms of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. 

7.4 Amendments and Waivers. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 7.4, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of the Company and the Holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in

 16 








 (b) Notice of any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreement adopted in accordance
with this Section 7.4 shall be provided by the Company to the Holders prior to the effective date of such amendment, modification or supplement. 

7.5 No Implied Waivers; Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, privilege, power, or
remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing shall operate as a waiver of any such right, privilege, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, privilege, power or remedy under this Agreement preclude any other
or further exercise of any such right, privilege, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, privilege, power or remedy. No waiver shall be asserted against any party unless signed in writing by such party. The rights, privileges, powers
and remedies available to the parties are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, privileges, powers or remedies provided by statute, at law, in equity or otherwise. 

7.6 Assignment. 

(a) Except as expressly provided in this Section 7.6, the rights of the parties hereto cannot be assigned and any purported
assignment or Transfer to the contrary shall be void ab initio. Subject to the terms and limitations contained this Section 7.6, any Holder may assign any of its rights under this Agreement, without the consent of the
Company, (x) to any Person to whom such Holder Transfers any Registrable Securities or any rights to acquire Registrable Securities so long as such Transfer is not made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (or
any successor provision thereto) under the Securities Act or (y) in connection with a pledge of Registrable Securities to a bona fide lender. 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.6(a), no Holder may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such
Holder Transfers any Registrable Securities if the Transfer of such Registrable Securities requires registration under the Securities Act. 

(c) The nature and extent of any rights assigned shall be as agreed to between the assigning party and the assignee. No Person may be assigned
any rights under this Agreement unless (x) the Company is given written notice by the assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee, identifying the securities of the Company as to which rights are
being assigned, and providing a description of the nature and extent of the rights that are being assigned and (y) the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a “Holder”,
including the provisions of this Section 7.6. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Limited Partner and the
Adviser may each assign its rights, under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company to one or more of its Affiliates; provided, that either (i) each of the Special Limited Partner and the Adviser remains
responsible for the obligations under this Agreement with respect to such assignee or (ii) the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a “Holder”, including the provisions
of this Section 7.6. 
 7.7 Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be construed, to confer any rights or benefits on any Persons that are not party hereto other than
