ARTICLE II


 


REGISTRATIONS


 


2.1            Demand
Registration.


 


2.1.1            Request
for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, at
any time and from time to time on or after the date the Company consummates the initial Business Combination, the Holders of at least
thirty percent (30%) in interest of the then outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”)
may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities, 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 Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s
receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of
Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such
Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days 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) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, the Registration of all Registrable
Securities requested by the Demanding Holder(s) and Requesting Holder(s) pursuant to such Demand Registration, including by
filing a Registration Statement relating thereto as soon as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after
the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than an aggregate
of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or
all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless
a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-1”)
has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting
Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.


 


2.1.2            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 (ii) the
Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further,
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 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,
unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect 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,
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 is subsequently terminated.


 


2.1.3            Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their 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 such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder
(if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such
Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided
herein. 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 majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.


 






    4 


     


    

 


2.1.4            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, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number
of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other
shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which
a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders
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 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 Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration) 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), the Common Stock 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), the Common Stock or other equity securities of other persons or entities 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.


 


2.1.5            Demand
Registration Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest
of the Requesting Holders (if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 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 or Underwriters (if any) 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
(or in the case of an Underwritten Registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at least two business days prior to
the time of pricing of the applicable offering). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Company may
effect any Underwritten Registration pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available
for such offering and (ii) 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 an initial Business Combination, 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 stockholders of the
Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof),
other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an
exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that
is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written
notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities 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 or Underwriters,
if any, in such offering, and (B) 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 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 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 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 distribute their 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.


 






    5 


     


    

 


2.2.2            Reduction
of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration 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 Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of
Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration 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 has
been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration
has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds
the Maximum Number of Securities, then:


 


(a)            If
the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the
shares of Common Stock or other equity securities 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 hereof, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has so requested exercising
its rights to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, 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), the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written
contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities;


 


(b)            If
the Registration 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 (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, 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, pro rata, based on
the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate
number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Registration, 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), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities 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), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities 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 (or in the case of an Underwritten Registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at
least two business days prior to the time of pricing of the applicable offering). 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.


 






    6 


     


    

 


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.


 


2.3            Shelf
Registrations.


 


2.3.1            The
Holders of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”),
or if the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3, on Form S-1; a registration statement filed pursuant to this subsection
2.3.1 (a “Shelf”) shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to
any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder. Within three (3) days of the Company’s
receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall promptly
give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities
who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration shall so notify the
Company, in writing, within three (3) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable
thereafter, but not more than ten (10) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration
on a Shelf, the Company shall file a Registration Statement relating to all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining
in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 if the Holders of
Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration,
propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than
$5,000,000. The Company shall maintain each Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission
such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf continuously effective, available
for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities
included on such Shelf. In the event the Company files a Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.


 


2.4            Restrictions
on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good
faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of,
a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand
Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts
to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and
the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good
faith judgment of the Board such Registration 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 at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders
a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary of the Company 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
in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall
have the right to defer such filing 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 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to effect or permit any Registration or cause any Registration Statement
to become effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities held by any Holder, until after the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up
Period or the Private Placement Lock-Up Period, as the case may be.

to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such
Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all
exhibits thereto and 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 Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Holders;


 


3.1.4            prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States
as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) 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 Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement 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 jurisdiction where it
is not then otherwise so subject;


 


3.1.5            cause
all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed;


 


3.1.6            provide
a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of
such Registration Statement;


 


3.1.7            advise
each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any
stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if
such stop order should be issued;


 


3.1.8            at
least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel;


 


3.1.9            notify
the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;


 






    8 


     


    

 


3.1.10            permit
a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter 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, attorney or accountant in connection
with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;


 


3.1.11            obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the
managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;


 


3.1.12            on
the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any,
and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given
as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and
negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;


 


3.1.13            in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;


 


3.1.14            make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months
beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated
thereafter by the Commission);


 


3.1.15            if
the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, 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 in any Underwritten Offering; and


 


3.1.16            otherwise,
in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection
with such Registration.


 


3.2            Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the 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 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 ninety (90) days in any 12-month period,
determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding
sentence, the Holders agree 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. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders
of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.


 






    9 


     


    

 


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 Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. 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 the Common Stock 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, directors and agents
and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) 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
not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company
by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who
controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) 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 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 indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each
person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) 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
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 such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall
be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable
Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and
each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing
with respect to indemnification of the Company.


 






    10 


     


    

 


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 he, she or 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, 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. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such 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 out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified
party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket 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 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 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 above,
any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket 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.

to the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period or the Private Placement Lock-Up Period, as the case may be, no Holder may assign
or delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection with a transfer
of Registrable Securities by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee but only if such Permitted Transferee agrees to become bound by the
transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and
the permitted assigns of the Holders, which shall include Permitted Transferees.

Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this
Agreement and Section 5.2 hereof.


 


5.2.5            No
assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company
unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof
and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions

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.

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.
