2.1. Demand
Registration.


 


2.1.1 Request
for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.3 of this Agreement,
at any time and from time to time on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, any Demanding Holder may
make a written demand for Registration of all of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities and the Company shall file with the
Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the receipt of such written
demand, a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities (a “Demand Registration”). Such
written demand will specify the intended methods of distribution. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to be declared effective by, or become effective pursuant to rules promulgated by, the Commission as soon
as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration Statement in accordance with Section 3.1 of this
Agreement.


 


2.1.2 Effective
Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 of this Agreement 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, or become
effective pursuant to rules promulgated by, the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under
this Agreement with respect thereto. 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 is subsequently
terminated. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Demand Registration on such appropriate
registration form of the Commission (x) as shall be selected by the Company and (y) as shall permit the disposition of
the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Demand Registration.
If at any time a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement
is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable
Securities included on such Registration Statement, the Company will amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be
necessary in order to enable such offering to take place in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


2.1.3 Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.3 of this Agreement, any Demanding
Holder may make a written demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in
accordance with Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement (an “Underwritten Demand”). The Company shall,
within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Underwritten Demand, notify, in writing, all other Holders of such demand,
and each Holder who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten
Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such Underwritten Offering, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing,
within two (2) days (one (1) day if such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after the receipt by the
Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s),
such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Underwritten Offering pursuant
to an Underwritten Demand. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering
under this subsection 2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected
for such Underwritten Offering by the Demanding Holders initiating the Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company is not obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.3
and is not obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this subsection 2.1.3 within ninety (90) days after
the closing of an Underwritten Offering.


 






    4


     


    

 


2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten
Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Underwritten Demand, in
good faith, advises or advise the Company, the Demanding Holders, the Requesting Holders and other persons or entities
holding Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company is obligated to include pursuant to separate
written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of
Registrable Securities or other equity securities of the Company requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering
exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities of the Company that can be sold in the Underwritten
Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of
success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the
“Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as
follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata
based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has
requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding
Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering (such proportion is referred to
herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
(ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (i), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell and that 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 Stock or other equity securities of the
Company held by other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to include pursuant to separate written contractual
arrangements with such persons or entities and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.


 


2.1.5 Demand
Registration Withdrawal. The Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1
of this Agreement shall have the right to withdraw from such Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason
whatsoever upon written notification to the Company of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under
this subsection 2.1.5.


 


2.2. Piggyback
Registration.


 


2.2.1 Piggyback
Rights. If, at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination, the Company proposes to (i) file
a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities of the Company, or securities
or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities of the Company, for its own account
or for the account of stockholders of the Company, other than a Registration Statement (A) filed in connection with any employee
stock option or other benefit plan, (B) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing
stockholders, (C) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (D) for a dividend
reinvestment plan, or (ii) consummate an Underwritten Offering for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company,
then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed action to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable
(but in the case of filing a Registration Statement, not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration
Statement), which notice shall (x) describe the amount and type of securities to be included, the intended method(s) of distribution
and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, and (y) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing
within (a) five (5) days in the case of filing a Registration Statement and (b) two (2) days in the case of an Underwritten
Offering (unless such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering, then one (1) day), in each case after receipt of
such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith,
cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing
Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant
to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of the Company included in such Piggyback Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to include Registrable
Securities in 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.


 




    5


     


    

 


2.2.2 Reduction
of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback
Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration
in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of the equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell,
taken together with (i) the shares of equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering
has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable
Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested
pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement and (iii) the shares of equity securities of the Company, if any, as
to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration
rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:


 


(a) If
the Registration or Underwritten Offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such
Registration or Underwritten Offering (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company that the Company
desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the
Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders
exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of this Agreement, Pro
Rata, 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 Stock or other
equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which Registration or Underwritten Offering has been requested pursuant to written
contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities; or


 


(b) If
the Registration or Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable
Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or Underwritten Offering (A) first, Common Stock or other
equity securities of the Company, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities,
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their
rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of this Agreement, Pro Rata, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities of
the Company that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B)
and (C), Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company for the account of other persons or entities that the
Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.


 


2.2.3 Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her
or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with
the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the
result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration
Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.


 


2.2.4 Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration or Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.2
of this Agreement shall not be counted as an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand effected under Section
2.1 of this Agreement.


 






    6


     


    

 


2.3 Restrictions on Registration
Rights. If (A) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and the
Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (B) the
Holders have requested a Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and in the good
faith judgment of the Board such Registration or Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the
Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the undertaking of
such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by
the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the
Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that it
is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or undertaking of such Underwritten Offering. In
such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing or offering for a period of not more than thirty (30) days;
provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month
period.

Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’
commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration
Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.


 


3.3. Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of
the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes
all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary
documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.


 


3.4 Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains
a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received
copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants
to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it
is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued
use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration or Underwritten Offering at any time would require the Company to
make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable
to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action
to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period
of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose.
In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentences in this Section 3.4, the Holders agree to suspend,
immediately upon their receipt of the notices referred to in this Section 3.4, their use of the Prospectus relating to any
Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders
of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.


 


3.5 Reporting
Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all
to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request
of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION


 


4.1. Indemnification.


 


4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify,
to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who
controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified
Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights
under this Section 4.1) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under 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 or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use
therein.


 


4.1.2 In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish
to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company,
its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable
attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting
from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Holder so furnished
in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling
Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.


 


4.1.3 Any
person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right
to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless
in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties
may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be
subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated
to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such
claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party
and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified
party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment
of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.


 


4.1.4 The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive
the transfer of securities.


 






    10


     


    

 


4.1.5 If the indemnification provided
under Section 4.1 of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to 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 the 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 such
indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that
the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2
and 4.1.3 of this Agreement, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

shall become effective thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice as provided in this Section 5.1.


 


5.2 Assignment;
No Third Party Beneficiaries.


 


5.2.1 This
Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole

Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors.

in this Agreement and Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

5.4 Governing
Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY
AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG
NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
OF SUCH JURISDICTION.


 


5.5 Amendments
and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement
may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a
holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such
capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other
party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or
remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder
or thereunder by such party.


 


5.6 Other
Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has
any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company
in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.
Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement
with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the
terms of this Agreement shall prevail.


 


5.7 Term.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii)
with respect to any Holder, the date as of which such Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Article
