 ARTICLE II 

REGISTRATION 

Section 2.1. Demand Registration. 

2.1.1 Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.5 and Section 2.4 hereof,
at any time and from time to time, the Holder may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of its Registrable Securities on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not
available to be used by the Company at such time, on Form F-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holder) (or, if the Company is not a foreign
private issuer, Form S-3) (or, if Form S-3 is not available to be used by the Company at such time, on Form S-1 or another
appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holder), which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution
thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Holder when making a Demand Registration may request that the registration be made pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Resale Shelf Registration).
The Company shall comply in all respects with all notification requirements and obligations to include other holders in such registration pursuant to Section 2.2 of the IRA. The Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, the
Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Holder pursuant to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than two (2) Demand Registrations for the Holder. 

2.1.2 Holder Information. The Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities held by the Holder in any Registration
Statement are contingent upon the Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the securities of the Company held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be
reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling
shareholder in similar situations. 
 2.1.3 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or
any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and remains effective for not less than 180 days (or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or
withdrawn), or if such Registration Statement relates to an Underwritten 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 and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, however, that if, after such Registration
Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or 

  
 6 













 
injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared
effective for purposes of counting Registrations under subsection 2.1.1 above unless and until (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and the Holder thereafter affirmatively elects to continue
with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, however, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file
another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration becomes effective or has been terminated. 

2.1.4 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.5 and Section 2.4 hereof, if
the Holder advises the Company as part of its Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of the Holder to include its
Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon the Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of the Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided
herein. In the event the Holder is proposing to distribute its Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.4, it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s)
selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Holder, which Underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. 
 2.1.5
Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holder in writing that the dollar amount or number
of Registrable Securities that the Holder desires to sell, taken together with all other Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written
contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other shareholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the
proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then
the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holder that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the
extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Common Shares or other equity securities of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to
separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; 

  
 7 













 2.1.6 Demand Registration Withdrawal. The Holder shall have the right to withdraw
from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter(s) (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration (i) in the case of an
Underwritten Offering, prior to the launch of the roadshow for the offering, and (ii) otherwise, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Demand Registration. If the Holder initiating a Demand Registration withdraws from a proposed offering pursuant to this Section 2.1.6, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration
provided for in Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.6. 
 Section 2.2. Piggyback
Registration. 
 2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If at any time or from time to time, the Company proposes to file a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of shareholders of
the Company, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (iii) for an exchange offer or offering of
securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iv) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (v) to register the offering of securities in connection with a transaction to be
registered on Form F-4 or S-4 or (vi) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder as soon as
practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of
distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter(s), if any, in such offering, and (B) subject to the expiration or waiver by the Company of any applicable lock up with respect to the Common Shares pursuant to the Note Purchase
Agreement, offer to the Holder the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as the Holder may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback
Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter(s) of a proposed Underwritten
Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holder pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such
Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Holder when proposing to distribute Registrable Securities through an Underwritten
Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. 

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggyback
Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holder when participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of Common Shares that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) Common
Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to
Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) Common Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the
Maximum Number of Securities, then: 

  
 8 














	 	(i)	 If the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such
Registration (A) first, Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing section (A), the Registrable Securities of the Holder exercising its rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof and any other Common Shares or other equity
securities for the account of other Persons as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of such other Persons, in each case pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable
Securities that the Holder and such other shareholders have requested be included, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 If the Registration is pursuant to a request by Persons or entities other than the Holder, then the Company
shall include in any such Registration (A) first, Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting Persons, other than the Holder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing section (A), the Registrable Securities of the Holder exercising its rights to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, and
any other Common Shares or other equity securities for the account of other Persons as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons, in each case pro rata based on the respective
number of Registrable Securities that the Holder and such other shareholders have requested be included, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. 



2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. The Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason
whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to (i) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the date on which the roadshow
for the offering is launched, and (ii) otherwise, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result
of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this
subsection 2.2.3. 

  
 9 













 2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any
Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof, and there shall be no limit on the
number of Piggyback Registrations. 
 2.2.5 Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw
any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. 

Section 2.3. Resale Shelf Registrations. 

2.3.1 Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the right of the Holder to request a Resale
Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.1, upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission as soon as practicable (but in any case no later
than 45 calendar days after notice from the Holder) a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holder of
all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable after filing, but no later than the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) calendar days after the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (or seventy-five (75) calendar days after the filing of the Resale Shelf
Registration Statement if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the
Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company shall cause the Resale Registration Statement or a replacement Resale Registration Statement to remain effective until
three (3) years after the Holder’s receipt of the Conversion Shares or the Redemption Warrant Shares, as applicable, in respect of the entire outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes or the exercise in full of the Redemption
Warrant, as applicable. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed on any then applicable form. If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form F-1 and thereafter the Company
becomes eligible to use Form F-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf
Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on Form F-3. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is filed on Form F-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form F-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such ineligibility and use its best
efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form F-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement
declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such 

  
 10 













 
replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is
available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holder until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities;
provided, however that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form F-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall
file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form F-3. Once effective, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep
the Resale Shelf Registration Statement that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure
that such Registration Statement is available at all times until the date on which the Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 shall contain a
Prospectus in such form as to permit the Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective
date for such Registration Statement (subject to compliance or waiver by the Company of any lock up provisions contained in the Note Purchase Agreement), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or
combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holder. To the extent the Company is not a foreign private issuer, the references to Form F-1 and F-3
above shall be, instead, to Form S-1 and S-3, respectively. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed hereunder may also register Common Shares or other securities
other than Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including shares sold by the Company to other shareholders. 
 2.3.2
Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the
Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective (which may be accomplished by the issuance of a press release with such information), and shall furnish to the Holder, without charge, at its request, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf
Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the
Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (to the extent any of
such documents are not available on EDGAR). 
 2.3.3 SEC Cutback. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this
Section 2.3, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single
registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform the Holder and use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale
Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”) on Form F-3 (or Form S-3, as applicable), or
if Form F-3 (or Form S-3, as applicable) is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the
Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however that prior to filing such 

  
 11 













 
amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a
limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the
registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Holder as to further limit its Registrable Securities to be included on the Registration Statement, the number of Registrable Securities
to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holder, subject to a determination by the Commission that the Holder must be reduced first based on
the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holder. In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use
its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

 2.3.4 Underwritten Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the Commission, to the extent such Resale Shelf Registration may be used for an underwritten offering, the Holder may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered
pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, however that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering
shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be
made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall comply in all respects with all notification requirements
and obligations to include other holders in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.3.4 of the IRA. The Holder when proposing to distribute its Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under this
subsection 2.3.4 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Holder (who must be reasonably acceptable to the Company). 

2.3.5 Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise
the Company and the Holder in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Holder desires to sell, taken together with all other Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together
with (i) Common Shares, if any, as to which participation in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holder, and (ii) Common Shares, if any, as to
which participation in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown has been requested pursuant 

  
 12 













 
to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Holder that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached
under the foregoing section (i), any other Common Shares or other equity securities for the account of other Persons as to which inclusion in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements
with such Persons, in each case pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that the Holder and such other shareholders have requested be included; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has
not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. 

2.3.6 Registrations effected by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3.1 or Section 2.3.6
shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1. 
 2.3.7 Under no circumstances
shall the Company be obligated to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns for the Holder. 

Section 2.4. Restrictions on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Company shall not be obligated to (but may, at its sole option) file a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration request made under Section 2.1 during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to
Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that Company has delivered written notice to the Holder prior to
receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective. 

Section 2.5. Other Registration Rights. The Company represents that, as of the date hereof and other than as
set forth herein, no Person has the right to request or require it to register any equity securities issued by it, other than such registration rights granted pursuant (i) to those certain subscription agreements, entered into as of
February 15, 2021, with investors participating in the private placement of securities of the Company in connection with the financing of the Company’s completed business combination, (ii) IRA and (iii) the Note Purchase
Agreement dated as of September 29, 2021. The Company will not grant any Person any registration rights with respect to the capital shares of the Company that are prior in right or in conflict or inconsistent with the rights of the Holder as
set forth in this Article II in any material respect (it being understood that this shall not preclude the grant of additional demand and piggyback registration rights in and of themselves so long as such rights are not prior in right to the rights
under this Agreement).

the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or are no longer outstanding; 

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the

documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holder or the legal counsel for any the Holder may

may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business
and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holder to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such

or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

 3.1.9 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or

Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof; 
 3.1.11 permit a
representative of the Holder, the Underwriter(s), if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by the Holder or such Underwriter(s) to participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and
cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that

3.1.12 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an

Underwriter; 

  
 15 













 3.1.13 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such
Registration, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Underwriter(s), if any, covering such legal matters with respect
to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Underwriter(s) may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

customary form, with the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering; 
 3.1.15 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably

3.1.16 if a Registration, including an Underwritten Offering, involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in
excess of $10,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter(s) in any Underwritten Offering;
and 
 3.1.17 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the
Holder, in connection with such Registration. 
 Section 3.2. Registration Expenses. All Registration
Expenses shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holder that the Holder shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage
fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holder. 

Section 3.3. Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any
Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 Section 3.4. Suspension of Sales;
Adverse Disclosure. The Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing if a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement and, upon receipt of such written notice from the Company, the Holder shall forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement, provided that the Company hereby covenants promptly to prepare and file any required supplement or
amendment correcting any Misstatement promptly after the time of such notice and, if necessary, to request the immediate effectiveness thereof. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a


  
 16 













 
Registration Statement or Prospectus included in any Registration Statement at any time (a) would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) would require the inclusion in
such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (c) requires the Company to update the financial statements contained in such Registration Statement pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Commission through the filing of a post-effective amendment which is subject to potential Commission review, or (d) in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, which judgment shall be documented in writing and provided to the Holder in the form of a written certificate signed by such officer, such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement would be materially
detrimental to the Company. The Company shall have the right to defer the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement pursuant to (a), (b) or (c) for a period of not more than ninety (90) days in any three
hundred and sixty (360)-day period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holder agrees to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above,
their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. 

Section 3.5. Reporting Obligations. As long the Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all
times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to, upon request, promptly furnish the Holder with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as the Holder may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell Common Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including using commercially reasonable efforts to provide any legal opinions. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a written certification of a
duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
 Section 3.6. Limitations on
Registration Rights. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holder and in the event of any conflict between any such agreement or
agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 
 ARTICLE IV 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION 

Section 4.1. Indemnification. 

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Holder, its officers and directors and agents and each Person who
controls the Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material 

  
 17 













 
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by
or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriter(s), their officers and directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder. 

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Holder is participating, the Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing
such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors
and officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from
any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by the Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that
the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among the Holder, and the liability of the Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by the Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement. The Holder of shall indemnify the Underwriter(s), their officers, directors and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing
with respect to indemnification of the Company. 
 4.1.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written
notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent
such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such
claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay
the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified
party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all
respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. 

  
 18 













 4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or Affiliate of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and the Holder to the extent participating
in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution (pursuant to subsection 4.1.5) to such party in the event the Company’s or the Holder’s indemnification is
unavailable for any reason. 
 4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying
party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to
the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified
party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of the Holder under this
subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by the Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.2, 4.1.2 and 4.13 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(D of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this
subsection 4.1.5 from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
