to time on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding
number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”) may make a written demand for
Registration 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, but not more than forty-five (45) days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration,
the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such 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.


 






    4 


     


    

 


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; and 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.


  


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 (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), the Registrable
Securities of Holders (Pro Rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has so requested) exercising
their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, 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 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 (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the
foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the shares of 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

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

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

of Securities, then:

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

incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

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”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through
an Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable
Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to
all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion

days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than twelve (12)
days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall register 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 Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable

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
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 twelve (12)-month period.

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 or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof
to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of
any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus;


 


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;


 


3.1.10 permit a representative
of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating 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; and provided further, the Company may not
include the name of any Holder or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or
Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference
into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder
or Underwriter and providing each such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document,
which comments the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law;


 


3.1.11 obtain a “cold
comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration
which the participating Holders may rely on, 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

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


 






    9 


     


    

 


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 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 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 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 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.


 


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 and directors and agents and each person
who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including
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 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 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.


 






    10 


     


    

 


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 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 without limitation
reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the 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.


 


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, 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 (plus local 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 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 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 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.

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 or in part.


 


5.2.2 Prior 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.

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.


 


5.2.4 This Agreement shall

written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement
(which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as

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
(I) 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
AND (II) THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY IN THE STATE

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 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.

Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date as of which (A)
all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period

under the Securities Act without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale. The provisions of Section
3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.
