    REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     

    The Company will perform and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to perform and comply, with such of the following provisions as are applicable to it.  Each Holder will perform and comply with
      such of the following provisions as are applicable to such Holder.

     

    Section 2.1.          Demand Registration.

     

    Section 2.1.1.           Request for Demand Registration.

     

    (a)        Following the effective date of this Agreement, any one or
      more Holders shall have the right to make a written request from time to time (a “Demand Registration Request”) to the Company for Registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders.  Any such Registration pursuant
      to a Demand Registration Request shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Demand Registration”.

     

    (b)          Each Demand Registration Request shall specify (x) the kind and aggregate amount (or maximum amount or desired
      range) of Registrable Securities to be registered, and (y) the intended method or methods of disposition thereof.

     

    (c)         Upon receipt of the Demand Registration Request, the Company shall as promptly as
      practicable file a Registration Statement (a “Demand Registration Statement”) relating to such Demand Registration, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Demand Registration Statement to be promptly declared effective under the
      Securities Act.

     

    Section 2.1.2.          Limitation on Demand Registrations.  The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to
      effect any Demand Registration (i) less than thirty days following the date of this Agreement or (ii) if a Demand Registration was declared effective or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown was consummated within the preceding ninety days (unless otherwise
      consented to by the Board).  The Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.1.1 must represent (i) an aggregate offering price of Registrable Securities that is reasonably expected to equal at least $40 million or
      (ii) all of the remaining Registrable Securities owned by the Holders.  The Holders shall be limited to no more than five Demand Registration Requests in the aggregate by all Holders.

     

    Section 2.1.3.          Demand Notice.  Promptly upon receipt of a Demand Registration Request pursuant to Section
        2.1.1 (but in no event more than two Business Days thereafter), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Demand Notice”) of any such Demand Registration Request to all other Holders, if any, and the Demand Notice shall offer each
      such Holder the opportunity to include in the Demand Registration that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing.  The Company shall include in the Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to
      which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within two Business Days after the date that the Demand Notice was delivered.

     

    
      8

      
        


    

    Section 2.1.4.          Demand Withdrawal.  A Demanding Holder that has requested its Registrable Securities be included
      in a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.3 may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration from such Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Demand
      Registration Statement.  Upon receipt of a notice to such effect from a Demanding Holder (or if there is more than one Demanding Holder, from all such Demanding Holders) with respect to all of the Registrable Securities included by such Demanding
      Holder(s) in such Demand Registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement.

     

    Section 2.1.5.          Effective Registration.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Demand
      Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for not less than one hundred eighty days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold or
      withdrawn), or, if such Demand Registration Statement relates to an underwritten Public Offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters a Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with
      sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer.

     

    Section 2.1.6.        Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration.  If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued
      use of a Demand Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, 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, the Demand Registration Statement (a “Demand Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Demand Suspension for a period exceeding thirty days on any one occasion or for more than
      ninety days in the aggregate during any twelve-month period.  In the case of a Demand Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable
      Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above.  The Company shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue
      statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request.  The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Demand Registration
      Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Demand Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may
      reasonably be requested by the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities that are included in such Demand Registration Statement.

     

    
      Section 2.1.7.       Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations.  If the managing underwriter
        or underwriters of a proposed underwritten Public Offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration, advise the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such
        Demand Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the
        securities to be included in such Registration shall be in the case of any Demand Registration (x) first, allocated to each Demanding Holder that has requested to participate in such Demand Registration an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
        number of such Registrable Securities requested to be registered or sold by such Demanding Holder, and (ii) a number of such shares equal to such Demanding Holder’s Pro Rata Portion, (y) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause
        (x) have been included, the number of other securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect other than securities to be sold by the Company and (z) third, the securities to
        be sold by the Company (not to exceed the number of other securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect).  In the event that any Holders have requested pursuant to Section








          2.3.1 to have Registrable Securities included in such Public Offering, the priority with respect to such Holders shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.3.2.

       

      

    

    
      9

      
        


    

    Section 2.1.8.          Resale Rights.  In the event that a Holder requests to participate in a Registration pursuant to
      this Section 2.1 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by such Holder.

     

    Section 2.2.          Shelf Registration.

     

    Section 2.2.1.          Request for Shelf Registration.

     

    (a)        Upon the written request of one or more Holders from time to time following the date that
      is thirty days after the effectiveness of this Agreement (a “Shelf Registration Request”), the Company shall promptly file with the SEC a shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act (“Shelf
        Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by any Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement
      and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to promptly become effective under the Securities Act.  Any such Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration Request shall hereinafter be referred to
      as a “Shelf Registration.”

     

    (b)          If on the date of the Shelf Registration Request: (i) the Company is a WKSI, then the Shelf Registration Request
      may request Registration of an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities; and (ii) the Company is not a WKSI, then the Shelf Registration Request shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered.  The Company shall
      provide to any Holder, at such Holder’s request, the information necessary to determine the Company’s status as a WKSI upon request.

     

    
      Section 2.2.2.         Shelf Registration Notice.  Promptly upon receipt of a Shelf Registration Request (but in no
        event more than two Business Days thereafter), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Shelf Registration Notice”) of any such request to all other Holders, if any, which notice shall specify, if applicable, the amount of Registrable
        Securities to be registered, and the Shelf Registration Notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to include in the Shelf Registration that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing.  The Company shall
        include in such Shelf Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within two Business Days after the date that the Shelf Registration Notice has been delivered.

    

     

    

    
      10

      
        


    

    Section 2.2.3.        Continued Effectiveness.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf
      Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming part of the Shelf Registration Statement to be usable by Holders until the earlier of: (i) the date as of which all Registrable
      Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or another Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174
      thereunder); and (ii) the date as of which all included securities have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”).  Subject to Section 2.2.4, the Company shall be deemed not to
      have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Holders of the Registrable Securities
      covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.

     

    Section 2.2.4.          Suspension of Registration.  If the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement at any
      time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”);







      provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension for a period exceeding thirty days on any one occasion or for more than ninety days in the aggregate during any twelve-month period.  In the case
      of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above.  The Company
      shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies
      of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request.  The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for
      the Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Holders.

     

    Section 2.2.5.          Shelf Takedown.

     

    (a)          At any time during which the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement, but
      subject to Section 2.2.4, by notice to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, a Holder may make a written request (a “Shelf Takedown Request”) to the Company to effect a Public Offering, including
      an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, of all or a portion of the Holder’s Registrable Securities that are covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (stating the approximate number or range of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Public
      Offering), and as soon as practicable the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose.  The Registrable Securities requested to be included in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown must represent an aggregate offering
      price of Registrable Securities that is reasonably expected to equal at least $40 million.  The Holders shall be limited to no more than five Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in the aggregate by all Holders.

     

    
      11

      
        


    

    (b)         Promptly upon receipt of a Shelf Takedown Request (but in no event more than two Business Days thereafter) for any
      Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall deliver a notice (a “Shelf Takedown Notice”) to each other Holder with Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, or to all other Holders if such Registration
      Statement is undesignated (each a “Potential Takedown Participant”).  The Shelf Takedown Notice shall offer each such Potential Takedown Participant the opportunity to include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown that number of Registrable
      Securities as each such Potential Takedown Participant may request in writing.  The Company shall include in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion
      therein no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day immediately following the Shelf Takedown Notice Delivery Time; it being understood that for the purposes of this Section 2.2.5, the “Shelf Takedown Notice
        Delivery Time” shall be deemed to be the date of delivery of such notice if it is delivered to Holders at or prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time and shall be deemed to be the business day immediately following delivery of such notice if it
      is delivered to Holders after 12:00 p.m. New York City time.  Subject to Section 2.2.6, any Potential Takedown Participant’s participation in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be on the same terms as the Holders who made the Shelf Takedown
      Request.  Any Potential Takedown Participant’s request to participate in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be binding on the Potential Takedown Participant, except that such participation may be conditioned on the Underwritten Shelf Takedown being
      completed within ten Business Days of its acceptance at a price per share (after giving effect to any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) to such Potential Takedown Participant of not less than ninety percent (90%) of the closing price for the
      shares on their principal trading market on the Business Day immediately prior to such Potential Takedown Participant’s election to participate (the “Participation Conditions”).  Notwithstanding the delivery of any Shelf Takedown Notice, but
      subject to the Participation Conditions (to the extent applicable), all determinations as to whether to complete any Underwritten Shelf Takedown and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Underwritten Shelf Takedown contemplated by
      this Section 2.2.5 shall be determined by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities offered by the Holders who made the applicable Shelf Takedown Request.

     

    (c)        The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Underwritten Shelf Takedown if a Demand
      Registration or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown was consummated within the preceding ninety days (unless otherwise consented to by the Board).

     

    
      Section 2.2.6.          Priority of Securities Sold Pursuant to Shelf Takedowns.  If the managing underwriter or
        underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.2.5 advise the Company in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in the proposed Underwritten Shelf Takedown
        exceeds the number that can be sold in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, the number of
        Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be (x) first, allocated to each Holder that has requested to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the number of such Registrable Securities
        requested to be registered or sold by such Holder, and (ii) a number of such shares equal to such Holder’s Pro Rata Portion, (y) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (x) have been included, the number of other securities
        that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect other than securities to be sold by the Company and (z) third, the securities to be sold by the Company (not to exceed the number of
        other securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect).

    

     

    

    
      12

      
        


    

    Section 2.2.7.         Resale Rights.  In the event that a Holder elects to request a Registration pursuant to this Section







        2.2 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by the Holder.

     

    Section 2.3.          Piggyback Registration.

     

    Section 2.3.1.         Participation.  If the Company at any time proposes to file a Registration Statement under the
      Securities Act or to conduct an underwritten Public Offering with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration under Section 2.2 of which the
      Holder has received a Shelf Registration Notice pursuant to Section 2.2.2, (ii) a Registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form to such Forms, (iii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to
      employees or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement or (iv) pursuant to a rights offering), then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than two Business Days
      prior to the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement or, in the case of any such Public Offering, the anticipated pricing or trade date), the Company shall give written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing or
      Public Offering to all Holders, and such Piggyback Notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register under such Registration Statement, or to sell in such Public Offering, such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request
      in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”).  Subject to Section 2.3.2, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement or in such Public Offering as applicable, all such Registrable Securities that are requested to be included
      therein within three Business Days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register or sell any securities and prior to the effective date of the
      Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, or the pricing or trade date of such Public Offering, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or sell or to delay Registration or the sale of such securities, the
      Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register or sell, shall be relieved of its obligation to register or sell any Registrable Securities in connection with
      such Registration or Public Offering (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holders entitled to request that such Registration or sale be effected as a
      Demand Registration under Section 2.1 or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.2, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registration or sale, in the absence of a request for a Demand
      Registration or an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as the case may be, shall be permitted to delay registering or selling any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering or selling such other securities.  If the offering
      pursuant to such Registration Statement or Public Offering is to be underwritten, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall, and the Company shall make such arrangements with the
      managing underwriter or underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such underwritten offering.  If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement or Public Offering is to be on any other basis, then each Holder making a request
      for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall, and the Company shall make such arrangements so that each such Holder may, participate in such offering on such basis.  Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or part
      of its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, that such request must be made in writing prior to the effectiveness of such
      Registration Statement or, in the case of a Public Offering, at least two Business Days prior to the earlier of the anticipated filing of the “red herring” Prospectus, if applicable, and the anticipated pricing or trade date.

    Section 2.3.2.           Priority of Piggyback Registration.

     

    (a)          If the registration or Public Offering referred to in the first sentence of Section 2.3.1 is to be a
      registration or Public Offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed offering of Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration informs the Company and the participating Holders in
      writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities that such Holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect
      on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, one hundred percent (100%) of the securities that the Company
      proposes to sell, (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the other Holders and securities of the same class of the Company requested

          all travel, meals and lodging.  All such expenses are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.”  The Company shall not be required to pay any fees and disbursements to underwriters not customarily paid by the issuers of securities in an
          offering similar to the applicable offering, including underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

    Section 2.9.          Indemnification.

     

    Section 2.9.1.        Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent
      permitted by law, each Holder, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner thereof, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner of each such shareholder, member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates,
      officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and against any and all
      losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or based
      upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus
      contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including any report and other
      document filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light
      of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of
      its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report; provided, that no selling Holder shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section
        2.9.1 in respect of any untrue statement or omission contained in or omitted from any information furnished in writing by such selling Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in a Registration Statement that has not been corrected in a
      subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim.  This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.  Such indemnity shall remain in full
      force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by such Holder.  The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer
      managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as
      provided above with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

     

    
      23

      
        


    

    Section 2.9.2.        Indemnification by the Selling Holders.  Each selling Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to
      indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting
      from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any
      amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus
      or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information furnished
      in writing by such selling Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement that has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person
      asserting the claim.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
      obligation less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.9.4 and any amounts paid by such Holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.  The Company shall be entitled
      to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to
      information furnished in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement.

     

    
      Section 2.9.3.          Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder
        shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its
        obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory
        to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses
        of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time
        after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that
        there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a
        conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of
        the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person).  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such
        action without the consent of the indemnified party.  No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
        indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified party.  If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
        will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld.  It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth
        in this Section 2.9.3, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such
        jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may
        be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between
        such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

       

      

    

    
      24

      
        


    

    Section 2.9.4.          Contribution.  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2
      is unavailable to an indemnified party (other than as a result of exceptions contained in Sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2) or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the
      amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection
      with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying
      party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
      relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The parties hereto agree that
      it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.9.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section







        2.9.4.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The amount paid or
      payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
      indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.9.4, in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, a selling Holder shall not be
      required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section







        2.9.2 and any amounts paid by such Holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.  If indemnification is available under this Section 2.9, the indemnifying parties shall
      indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2 hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 2.9.4.  The remedies provided for in this Section 2.9 are not exclusive
      and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

     

    
      25

      
        


    

    Section 2.10.      Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S.  The Company shall file the reports
      required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make publicly
      available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time
      or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), and the Company will 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 Registrable Securities
      without Registration under the Securities Act in transactions that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement and within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may
      be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.  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.

     

    Section 2.11.       Existing Registration Statements.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
      contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, the Company may satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by notice to the
      Holders, a Registration Statement that previously has been filed with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all references to any such obligation shall
      be construed accordingly; provided, that such previously filed Registration Statement may be amended or, subject to applicable securities laws, supplemented to add the number of Registrable Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to
      identify as selling stockholders those Holders requesting the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  To the extent this Agreement refers to the filing or effectiveness of other Registration Statements by or at a
      specified time and the Company has, in lieu of then filing such Registration Statements or having such Registration Statements become effective, designated a previously filed or effective Registration Statement as the relevant Registration Statement
      for such purposes, in accordance with the preceding sentence, such references shall be construed to refer to such designated Registration Statement, as amended.

      statements in connection with the announcement of the Transactions, the Holders and the Company shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, consult with each other and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, such press release or
      any such public statement, and shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable law, order, judgment, injunction,

      the date that a Holder no longer has, or has otherwise irrevocably waived, the right to designate one or more Holder Designees and no Holder Designee is serving on the Board (the “Standstill Period”), if such Holder (together with its Affiliates and
      any Persons that are part of a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act)) directly or indirectly beneficially owns 10% or more of the aggregate amount of Common Stock (assuming that all Notes are fully converted into and settled in
      Common Stock as of the time of such determination) (provided that, with respect to any such Holder, any shares of Common Stock that are (x) held in any exchange-traded fund or similar passive investment vehicle that is owned, managed or controlled by
      such Holder, its investment manager or any of its or their Affiliates or any Persons that are part of a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with such Holder, or (y) held by any fund or account that is managed by investment
      professionals that do not manage such Holder (such funds, investment vehicles and accounts referred to in clauses (x) or (y) being such Holder’s “Independent Investment Vehicles”), shall not be deemed to be directly or indirectly beneficially owned
      for purposes of this Section 3.5 and any such shares of Common Stock shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.5 (provided that, with respect to funds or accounts managed by investment professionals that do
      not manage such Holder, in the event that any such investment professionals coordinate (including but not limited to making a coordinated acquisition of stock) or act in concert with the investment professionals that manage such Holder with respect
      to the Company’s equity securities, any shares of Common Stock held by such funds or accounts shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.5)), such Holder will not, directly or indirectly, and will cause its Affiliates
      not to:

     

    
      27

      
        


    

    (a)          acquire, offer or seek to acquire, agree to acquire or make a proposal to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, except for transactions among the
      Holder, its Affiliates or its Independent Investment Vehicles, any equity securities or direct or indirect rights to acquire any equity securities of the Company or any of its Affiliates, any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such
      equity securities, any options or other derivative securities or contracts or instruments in any way related to the price of shares of Common Stock or any assets or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however,
      that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Permitted Hedging Transactions;

     

    (b)          make or in any way encourage or participate in any “solicitation” of “proxies” (whether or not relating to the
      election or removal of directors), as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC, to vote, or knowingly seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to voting of, any voting securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or call or
      seek to call a meeting of the Company’s stockholders or initiate any stockholder proposal for action by the Company’s stockholders, or seek election to or to place a representative on the Board or seek the removal of any director from the Board;

     

    (c)          demand a copy of the stock ledger list of stockholders or any other books and records of the Company;

      Company, or any other extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective equity securities, or enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements, understandings or agreements (whether
      written or oral) with any other Person regarding any of the foregoing;

     

    (e)          otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence, in any manner, the management,

    (f)          make any proposal or statement of inquiry or disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with any of
      the foregoing;

     

    (g)         take any action that would require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of any of the
      events described in this Section 3.5;

     

    (h)         enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements, arrangements or understandings with any third party (including
      security holders of the Company) with respect to any of the foregoing, including forming, joining or in any way participating in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any third party with respect to any securities of the
      Company or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing;

    (i)         request the Company or any of its Representatives, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section







        3.5; provided that this clause shall not prohibit the Holders from making a confidential request to the Company seeking an amendment or waiver of the provisions of this Section 3.5, which the Company may accept or reject in its
      sole discretion, so long as any such request is made in a manner that does not require public disclosure thereof by any Person;

        Notes into Common Stock, privately make and submit to the Company and/or the Board any proposal that is intended by the Holders to be made and submitted on a non-publicly disclosed or announced basis (and would not reasonably be expected to require

        shares of Common Stock into any tender or exchange offer (subject to Section 3.6) or (2) the ability of each Holder Designee to exercise his or her legal duties or otherwise act in his or her capacity as a member or observer of the Board.

    Section 3.6.1.         For thirty days following the Closing, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, including Section







        3.6.2 and Section 3.6.3, neither the Holders nor their Affiliates will (i) Transfer any Notes or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes, other than a Transfer to (a) any entity or fund (x) that is affiliated with the
      Transferor and (y) for which the Transferor or its Affiliate serves as the general partner, manager or advisor or (b) any investment vehicle directly or indirectly wholly owned by any entity or fund described in  the foregoing clause (a); or (ii)
      make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a short sale of or the purpose of which is to offset the loss which results from a decline in the market
      price of, the Notes or shares of Common Stock, or otherwise establish or increase, directly or indirectly, a put equivalent position, as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act, with respect to the Notes or the Common Stock or any other
      capital stock of the Company (any such action, a “Hedge”), other than Permitted Hedging Transactions.

     

    
      29

      
        


    

    Section 3.6.2.          Notwithstanding Section 3.5 and Section 3.6.1, each Holder shall be permitted to Transfer any portion or all of its
      Notes or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes to (i) any Affiliate of such Holder, (ii) any successor entity of such Holder and (iii) with respect to any Holder that is an investment fund, vehicle or similar entity, any other investment
      fund, vehicle or similar entity of which such Holder or an Affiliate, advisor or manager of such Holder serves as the general partner, manager or advisor of such Holder, provided that the transferee agrees in writing prior to such Transfer
      for the express benefit of the Company (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and with a copy thereof to be furnished to the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and if the transferee and the transferor agree for
      the express benefit of the Company that the transferee shall Transfer the Notes or Common Stock so Transferred back to the transferor at or before such time as the transferee ceases to be an entity described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

     

    Section 3.6.3.          Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.6 to the contrary, the restrictions set forth in Section 3.6.1 shall not
      apply to any shares of Common Stock that are held in an Independent Investment Vehicle of the applicable Holder; provided that, in the event that any investment professionals of such Holder’s Independent Investment Vehicles coordinate
      (including but not limited to making a coordinated acquisition of stock) or act in concert with the investment professionals that manage such Holder with respect to the Company’s equity securities, any shares of Common Stock held by such funds or
      accounts shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.6.1.

     

    Section 3.6.4.           Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 3.6 shall be null and void ab initio.

     

    Section 3.7.          [Reserved].

     

    Section 3.8.          Voting.

     

    (a)          During the Standstill Period, at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company and at every postponement or
      adjournment thereof, each Holder that beneficially owns shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that represent 10% or greater of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall take such action as may be required so that all
      of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such Holder and entitled to vote at such meeting of stockholders are voted (i) in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board for election at any such
      meeting, (ii) against any stockholder nominations for director which are not approved and recommended by the Board for election at any such meeting, (iii) in favor of the Company’s “say-on-pay” proposal and any proposal by the Company relating to
      equity compensation that has been approved by the compensation committee of the Board and (iv) in favor of the Company’s proposal for ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting; provided that no
      Holder shall be under any obligation to vote in the same manner as recommended by the Board or in any other manner, other than in the Holders’ sole discretion, with respect to any other matter.

     

    
      30

      
        


    

    (b)         Until the earlier of (x) the expiration of the Standstill Period and (y) eighteen  months after the date the Notes
      are issued (the “Issue Date”), no Holder or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of Holders may vote any shares of Common Stock in excess of 20% of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any meeting of
      stockholders or act by written consent with respect to such excess shares; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock that are held in an Independent Investment Vehicle of the applicable Holder; provided
      that, in the event that any investment professionals of such Holder’s Independent Investment Vehicles coordinate (including but not limited to making a coordinated acquisition of stock) or act in concert with the investment professionals that manage
      such Holder with respect to the Company’s equity securities, any shares of Common Stock held by such funds or accounts shall be subject to the foregoing restrictions.

     

    Section 3.9.          Stockholder Approval.

     

    (a)         As promptly as practicable after the Issue Date (and in any event no later than thirty Business Days after the Issue
      Date), the Company agrees to prepare and file a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the SEC that includes, to the extent required by the listing rules of the NYSE, a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the
      Holders in connection with any future conversion of the Notes (the “Stockholder Approval”) at a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which will be held as soon as practicable after the Issue Date. 
      Subject to the directors’ fiduciary duties, the Proxy Statement shall include the Board’s recommendation that the stockholders vote in favor of the Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall use its reasonable best
        efforts to solicit from the stockholders proxies in favor of the Stockholder Approval and to obtain the Stockholder Approval.  The Holders and their Affiliates agree to furnish to the Company all information concerning the Holders and their
      Affiliates as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the Proxy Statement and the Stockholder Meeting.  The Company shall respond reasonably promptly to any comments received from the SEC with respect
        to the Proxy Statement.  The Company shall provide to each Holder who owns more than 10% of the Notes, as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof, any written comments from the Commission or any written request from the SEC or its
        staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide each such Holder with copies of all correspondence between the Company, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement.
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, the Company
        shall provide each Holder who owns more than 10% of the Notes with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC confirms that it has
        no further comments on the Proxy Statement, (i) take all action required to establish a record date for and give notice of the Stockholder Meeting, (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date
        established for the Stockholder Meeting and (iii) take all action reasonably required to duly call, convene and hold the Stockholder Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s
        stockholders.

     

    (b)       If the Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the Stockholder Meeting, (i) the Company will seek Stockholder Approval
      at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of the stockholders and (ii) the Notes that would upon conversion into shares of Common Stock represent more than 19.9% of the then outstanding Common Stock will be convertible into cash only, until such
      Stockholder Approval is received according to Section 13.13 of the Indenture.  If, on the one-year anniversary of the Issue Date, the Stockholder Approval has not been obtained and the Existing Credit Agreement is still outstanding, the coupon and
      remaining amortization on the Notes will be adjusted according to Section 4.10(a) of the Indenture.

    Section 3.10.        Tax Matters.

     

    (a)         The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold Taxes on all payments on the Notes or
      Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of the Notes to the extent required by applicable law.  Promptly following the date of this Agreement or, in the case of a Permitted Transferee, the date such Permitted Transferee first acquires
      any Notes or Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of the Notes, each Holder shall deliver to the Company or its paying agent a duly executed, accurate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or an
      appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable.  If the information on any such form provided by a Holder changes, or upon the Company’s reasonable request, the Holder shall provide the Company with an updated version of such form.

     

    (b)          Absent a change in law or a contrary determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), the Holders and the
      Company agree to treat the Notes as debt of the Company for all purposes under the Code and the Treasury Regulations, and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

     

    (c)          The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issue or transfer Tax due on (x) the issue of the
      Notes and (y) the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes. However, in the case of conversion of Notes, the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue
      and delivery of shares of Common Stock or Notes to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the Notes immediately prior to such conversion, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has
      paid to the Company the amount of any such Tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax or duty has been paid.

     

    Section 3.11.      Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge that
      nothing herein is intended to supersede or conflict with the terms of the Rights Agreement.

      Section 4.3.         Termination and Effect of Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate
        upon the date on which no Holder holds any Notes or Registrable Securities, except for the provisions of Sections 2.9 and 2.10, which shall survive any such termination.  No termination under this Agreement shall relieve any Person of
        liability for breach prior to termination.  In the event this Agreement is terminated, each Person entitled to indemnification rights pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof shall retain such indemnification rights with respect to any matter that
        (i) may be an indemnified liability thereunder and (ii) occurred prior to such termination.

    Section 4.4.          Assignment.

     

    (a)          Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or
      otherwise, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that the Holder may assign its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to
      one or more Permitted Transferees, or as otherwise contemplated in Section 3.6; provided that no such assignment will relieve any Holder of its obligations hereunder prior to the Closing; provided, further, that no party hereto shall
      assign any of its obligations hereunder with the primary intent of avoiding, circumventing or eliminating such party’s obligations hereunder.  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit
      of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     

    (b)       The rights of a Holder hereunder may be assigned (but only with all related obligations as set forth below) in
      connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities or Notes effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person who, if not already a Holder, has delivered to the Company a written acknowledgment and agreement in form and substance
      reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such Person will be bound by, and will be a party to, this Agreement (such Person, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that, if such proposed Transfer of Registrable Securities or Notes is to
      a Transferee who is not (i) an Affiliate of the Transferor, (ii) successor entity of such Holder or (iii) with respect to any Holder that is an investment fund, vehicle or similar entity, any other investment fund, vehicle or similar entity of such
      Holder or an Affiliate, advisor or manager of such Holder, the Registrable Securities or Notes proposed to be Transferred represent at least 3% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (assuming that all Notes are fully converted into and settled in
      Common Stock as of the time of such determination).  A Permitted Transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 4.4(b) may not again transfer those rights to any other Permitted Transferee, other than as provided in this Section







        4.4(b).

     

    Section 4.5.         Remedies.  The parties to this Agreement shall have all remedies
      available at law, in equity or otherwise in the event of any breach or violation of this Agreement or any default hereunder.  The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies that
      may be available, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations of the other parties hereto and, in addition, to such other equitable remedies (including preliminary or temporary relief) as may be appropriate
      in the circumstances.  No delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it
      be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any such delay, omission nor waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or
      default occurring before or after that waiver.

     

    
      34

      
        


    

    Section 4.6.        Amendments.  This Agreement may not be orally amended, modified, extended
      or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and Holder(s)
      owning a majority of the Registrable Securities at any time.  Each such amendment, modification, extension or termination shall be binding upon each party hereto and each other Holder.  In addition, each party hereto may waive any right hereunder by
      an instrument in writing signed by such party.

     

    Section 4.7.          Governing Law.  This Agreement and all claims arising out of or based
      upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that
      would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

     

    Section 4.8.         Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each party to this Agreement, by its execution
      hereof, (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the County of New York in the State of New York for the purpose of any action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or
      otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, (ii) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, and agrees not to
      allow any of its subsidiaries to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment
      or execution, that any such proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) hereby agrees not to commence or maintain
      any action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof other than before one of the above-named
      courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation to any court other
      than one of the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any party hereto is or becomes a party in any litigation in connection with which it may assert
      indemnification rights set forth in this Agreement, the court in which such litigation is being heard shall be deemed to be included in clause (i) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to this Agreement may commence and maintain an action
      to enforce a judgment of any of the above-named courts in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by New York law, and agrees that service of process
      by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.

     

    
      Section 4.9.        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES
        AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR
        INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING.  EACH
        PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 4.9 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN
        ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 4.9 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

       

      

    

    
      35

      
        


    

    Section 4.10.      Merger.  Binding Effect, Etc.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
      agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or discussions with respect to such subject matter, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
      hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and permitted assigns.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Holder or other party hereto may assign any of its respective rights or delegate any of its respective
      obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

     

    Section 4.11.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
      each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument.

     

    Section 4.12.       Severability.  In the event that any provision hereof would, under
      applicable law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable law.  The provisions
      hereof are severable, and in the event any provision hereof should be held invalid or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not invalidate, render unenforceable or otherwise affect any other provision hereof.

     

    Section 4.13.       No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied
      in this Agreement, the Company and each Holder covenant, agree and acknowledge that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any current or future Affiliate,
      director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, equityholder or member of any Holder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any
      statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future Affiliate of any Holder, any current or
      future officer, agent or employee of any Holder or any current or future member or stockholder of any Holder or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Holder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such, for
      any obligation of any Holder under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
