(e)             Removal; Vacancies. The Equityholder Representative or the Sponsor Representative, as applicable, shall have the
exclusive right to (i) remove their nominees from the Board, and PubCo shall take all Necessary Action to cause the removal of any such
nominee at the request of the applicable Party and (ii) designate or nominate directors for election or appointment, as applicable, to
the Board to fill vacancies created by reason of death, removal or resignation of its nominees to the Board, and PubCo shall take all
Necessary Action to nominate or cause the Board to appoint, as applicable, replacement directors designated by the applicable Party to
fill any such vacancies created pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above to be filled by replacement directors designated by the applicable
Party as promptly as practicable after such designation (and in any event prior to the next meeting or action of the Board or applicable
committee). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1, no Party shall have the right to designate
a replacement director, and PubCo shall not be required to take any action to cause any vacancy to be filled by any such designee, to
the extent that election or appointment of such designee to the Board would result in a number of directors nominated or designated by
such Party in excess of the number of directors that such Party is then entitled to nominate for membership on the Board pursuant to this
Investor Rights Agreement.


 


(f)             Committees. In accordance with PubCo’s Organizational Documents, (i) the Board shall establish and maintain
committees of the Board for (x) Audit, (y) Compensation and (z) Nominating and Corporate Governance, and (ii) the Board may from time
to time by resolution establish and maintain other committees of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including
the rules of any applicable securities exchange, the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees should include the
director, if any, elected to the Board pursuant to Section 2.1(c) hereof.


 


(g)            Independent Directors. PubCo has determined that the initial slate of directors referenced in Section 2.1(a)
includes the requisite number of individuals meeting the independence requirements of Nasdaq. From and after such initial slate is constituted,
PubCo shall take all Necessary Action to ensure that the Board consists of the requisite number of directors meeting the independence
requirements of Nasdaq or any other securities exchange on which the Equity Securities of PubCo are then listed, in each case giving effect,
when applicable, to Section 2.1(h).


 


(h)            Controlled
Company Exception. At all times in which PubCo is a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq or any other
securities exchange on which the Equity Securities of PubCo are then listed as a result of the ownership of Common Stock, among
others, any Sellers or their Permitted Transferees, PubCo shall take all Necessary Action to avail itself of all “controlled
company” exemptions to the rules of Nasdaq or any other exchange on which the Equity Securities of PubCo are then listed and
shall comply with all requirements under Law (including Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K) and all disclosure requirements to take such
actions. Among other things, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller Representative, for so long as PubCo is a
 “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq or any other securities exchange on which the Equity Securities of PubCo
are then listed as a result of the ownership of Common Stock, among others, any Sellers or their Permitted Transferees, PubCo shall
take all Necessary Action to exempt itself from each of (i) any requirement that a majority of the Board consist of independent
directors; (ii) any requirement that the Nominating and Governance Committee be composed entirely of independent directors or have a
written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; (iii) any requirement that the Compensation Committee
be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities;
(iv) the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the Nominating and Governance Committee and Compensation Committee; and
(v) each other requirement that a “controlled company” is eligible to be exempted from under the rules of Nasdaq or any
other exchange on which the Equity Securities of PubCo are then listed.


 






    12


     


    

 


(i)              Reimbursement of Expenses. PubCo shall reimburse the directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board and any committees thereof, including travel, lodging and meal expenses.


 


(j)              Indemnification. For so long as any Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director serves as a director of PubCo,
(i) PubCo shall provide such Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director with the same expense reimbursement, benefits, indemnity,
exculpation and other arrangements provided to the other directors of PubCo and (ii) PubCo shall not amend, alter or repeal any right
to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director nominated pursuant to
this Investor Rights Agreement as and to the extent consistent with applicable Law, Articles VIII and X of the Certificate
of Incorporation, Article V of the Bylaws and any indemnification agreements with directors (whether such right is contained in
the Organizational Documents or another document) (except to the extent such amendment or alteration permits PubCo to provide broader
indemnification or exculpation rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto).


 


(k)             D&O Insurance. PubCo shall (i) purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount
determined by the Board to be reasonable and customary and (ii) for so long as any Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director
serves as a director, maintain such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with respect to such director; provided,
that upon removal or resignation of such Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director for any reason, PubCo shall take all actions
reasonably necessary to extend such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with respect to such Joint Director,
Seller Director or Sponsor Director for a period of not less than six (6) years from any such event in respect of any act or omission
of such Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director occurring at or prior to such event.


 


Section
2.2              PubCo Cooperation. PubCo shall take all Necessary Action to cause the Board to consist of the number of directors
specified in Section 2.1 and to include in the slate of nominees to be voted upon by the stockholders of PubCo the Persons designated
for nomination to the Board in accordance with Section 2.1. The Parties agree that the rights of the Sellers, the Sponsors and
the Other Holders to nominate a number of directors specified in Section 2.1 shall be reduced to the extent required by the rules
of Nasdaq or any other securities exchange on which the Equity Securities of PubCo are then listed.


 






    13


     


    

 


Section 2.3              Sharing
of Information. To the extent permitted by antitrust, competition or any other applicable Law, each of PubCo, the Sellers, the Other
Holders and the Sponsors agrees and acknowledges that the directors designated by the Equityholder Representative and the Sponsor Representative
may share confidential, non-public information about PubCo and its Subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) with
the Sellers, the Other Holders and the Sponsors, as applicable. Each of the Sellers, the Other Holders and the Sponsors recognizes that
it, or its Affiliates and Representatives, has acquired or will acquire Confidential Information the use or disclosure of which could
cause PubCo or its Subsidiaries substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at Law would
be adequate. Accordingly, each of the Sellers, the Other Holders and the Sponsors covenants and agrees with PubCo that it will not (and
will cause its respective controlled Affiliates and Representatives not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of PubCo,
directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information known to it to any third party, unless (a) such information becomes known
to the public through no fault of such Party, (b) disclosure is required by applicable Law (including any filing following the Closing
Date with the SEC pursuant to applicable securities laws) or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a Governmental Entity; provided,
that (other than in the case of any required following the Closing Date with the SEC or in connection with any routine audit or examination
as described below) such Party promptly notifies PubCo of such requirement or request and takes commercially reasonable steps, at the
sole cost and expense of PubCo, to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (c) such information was available or becomes
available to such Party before, on or after the Effective Date, without restriction, from a source (other than PubCo or its Subsidiaries)
without any breach of duty to PubCo or its Subsidiaries or (d) such information was independently developed by such Party or its Representatives
without the use of the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Investor Rights Agreement shall prohibit
the Sellers, the Other Holders or the Sponsors from disclosing Confidential Information to (x) any Affiliate, Representative, limited
partner, member or shareholder of such Party; provided that such Person shall be bound by an obligation of confidentiality with
respect to such Confidential Information and such Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 2.3 by any such Person
or (y) if such disclosure is made to a governmental or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over such Party in connection with a routine
audit or examination that is not specifically directed at PubCo or the Confidential Information, provided that such Party shall
request that confidential treatment be accorded to any information so disclosed. No Confidential Information shall be deemed to be provided
to any Person, including any Affiliate of the Sellers, the Other Holders or the Sponsors, unless such Confidential Information is actually
provided to such Person, and furthermore, receipt of Confidential Information shall not be imputed to any Affiliate of the Sellers, the
Other Holders or the Sponsors solely by virtue of the fact that the party serves in a similar capacity for such Affiliate (a “Shared
Representative”) and has received Confidential Information unless a Shared Representative (x) conveys, shares or communicates,
in any manner, Confidential Information to such Affiliate or (y) participates, directly or indirectly, on behalf of such Affiliate in
activities prohibited by this Investor Rights Agreement.

ARTICLE
III

REGISTRATION RIGHTS


 


Section
3.1           
Shelf Registration.


 


(a)             Filing. PubCo shall file, within 30 days of the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”) a Registration
Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), or if PubCo is ineligible to use a Form S-3
Shelf, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf,” and together with the Form
S-3 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration), the “Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all Registrable
Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. PubCo shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the Shelf to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. The 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. PubCo shall maintain the Shelf in accordance with the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement, and shall prepare and file with
the SEC 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.
In the event PubCo files a Form S-1 Shelf, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any
Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after PubCo is eligible to use Form S-3.


 


(b)             Subsequent
Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while there are any
Registrable Securities outstanding, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause
such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf
in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an
additional Registration Statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the
resale of all outstanding Registrable Securities from time to time, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally
available to, and requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts
to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably
practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement if PubCo is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration 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 outstanding. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that PubCo is eligible
to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder
holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, PubCo, upon request of a Holder,
shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at
PubCo’s option, the Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the
same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject
to the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement.


 






    15


     


    

 


(c)             Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time after the Shelf has been declared effective
by the SEC, the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered
pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that PubCo shall only be obligated
to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities
and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $30 million (the “Minimum Takedown
Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to PubCo, which shall specify
the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net
of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that each Holder agrees that the fact
that such a notice has been delivered shall constitute Confidential Information subject to Section 2.2. PubCo shall give written
notice of such request to all Holders of Registrable Securities promptly (but in any even within five business days after receipt of such
request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown) and shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included
by any holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least 48 hours prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Holder (including those set forth herein).The Holders
that requested such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Demanding Holders”) shall have the right to select the Underwriters
for such offering (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable nationally or regionally recognized investment banks), and to agree
to the pricing and other terms of such offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the consent of PubCo, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights
Agreement, in no event shall any Holder or any Transferee thereof request an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during the Lock-Up Period applicable
to such Person. There shall be no limit to the number of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns that may be requested by any Holder, subject to
the proviso in the first sentence of this Section 3.1(c).


 


(d)            Reduction
of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith,
advise PubCo, 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 PubCo desires to sell and all other Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any,
that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration
rights held by any other stockholders, 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 PubCo shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: at all times
(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 Shelf Takedown) 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 PubCo desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (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 that PubCo is obligated to include in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to
separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Securities.


 






    16


     


    

 


(e)             Withdrawal. Any of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw
from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”)
to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Demanding Holder’s intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf
Takedown, prior to the public announcement of the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by PubCo; provided that a Holder not so withdrawing
may elect to have PubCo continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied or if the Underwritten
Shelf Takedown would be made with respect to all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal
Notice, PubCo shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, PubCo shall be responsible for the
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to delivery of a Withdrawal Notice under this
Section 3.1(e).


 


(f)              Long-Form Demands. Upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Person, and during such times as
no Shelf is effective, each of the Sellers, together with its, his or her Permitted Transferees, and the Sponsor Representative (acting
upon the instructions of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Sponsors and the Other Holders) may demand
that PubCo file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the purpose of conducting an Underwritten Offering of any or all of such Holder’s
or Holders’ Registrable Securities. PubCo shall file such Registration Statement within 30 days of receipt of such demand and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to be declared effective within 60 days of filing. The provisions of Section 3.1(c),
Section 3.1(d) and Section 3.1(e) shall apply to this Section 3.1(f) as if a demand under this Section 3.1(f)
were an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, provided that in order to withdraw a demand under this Section 3.1(f), such withdrawal
must be received by PubCo prior to PubCo having publicly filed a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3.1(f).


 






    17


     


    

 


Section
3.2           
Piggyback Registration.


 


(a)             Piggyback
Rights. If PubCo or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if PubCo proposes to file a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Equity Securities of PubCo, or securities or other obligations
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into Equity Securities of PubCo, for its own account or for the account of
stockholders of PubCo (or by PubCo and by the stockholders of PubCo including an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section
3.1), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any
employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to PubCo’s existing
stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of PubCo, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment
plan, then PubCo shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all Holders as soon as practicable but not less than three
(3) calendar days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering
pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the launch date of such offering, 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 and if known, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders the opportunity to include
in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within two (2) calendar day
after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”); provided that
each Holder agrees that the fact that such a notice has been delivered shall constitute Confidential Information subject to Section
2.2. PubCo shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its reasonable
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 Section 3.2(a) to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same
terms and conditions as any similar securities of PubCo included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other
disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any
Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to abide by the
terms of Section 3.6 below.


 


(b)            Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that
is to be a Piggyback Registration (other than an Underwritten Shelf Takedown), in good faith, advises PubCo and the Holders participating
in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo
desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered
offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders hereunder and (ii)
the Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 3.2, exceeds
the Maximum Number of Securities, then:


 


(i)            If the Registration is initiated and undertaken for PubCo’s account, PubCo shall include in any such Registration
(A) first, the Common Stock or other Equity Securities that PubCo 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 Section 3.2(a)
(pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration), 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 Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, as to which
Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of PubCo, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; or


 






    18


     


    

 





(ii)           If
the Registration is pursuant to a request by Persons other than the Holders, then PubCo shall include in any such Registration (A) first,
the Common Stock or other Equity Securities, if any, of such requesting Persons, other than the Holders, 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
Section 3.2(a) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in
such 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 Common Stock or other Equity Securities
that PubCo 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 Common Stock
or other Equity Securities, if any, for the account of other Persons that PubCo is obligated to register pursuant to separate written
contractual piggyback registration rights of such Persons, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.


 


Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 3.2(b), in the event a Demanding Holder has submitted notice for a bona fide Underwritten Shelf Takedown
and all sales pursuant to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 3.1 have not been effected in accordance with the
applicable plan of distribution or submitted a Withdrawal Notice prior to such time that PubCo has given written notice of a Piggyback
Registration to all Holders pursuant to Section 3.2, then any reduction in the number of Registrable Securities to be offered in
such offering shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.1(d), instead of this Section 3.2(b).


 


(c)             Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever
upon written notification to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of such Holder’s intention to withdraw from such
Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration
or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus
or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. PubCo (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 SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include
the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Investor Rights Agreement, PubCo shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback
Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 3.2(c).


 






    19


     


    

 


(d)             Restriction
on Transfer. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Equity Securities of PubCo, each Holder that holds more than 5% of
the issued and outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to the exchange of all outstanding Company Units for Class A Common
Stock) agrees that it shall not Transfer any Common Stock (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Investor
Rights Agreement), without the prior written consent of PubCo, during the five (5) days prior (to the extent notice of such
Underwritten Offering has been provided) to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (or such shorter
period as agreed with the Underwriter managing the offering), subject to customary exceptions agreed with the Underwriter managing
the offering, and except in the event the Underwriter managing the offering otherwise agrees by written consent, and further agrees
to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms
and conditions as all such Holders). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall not be subject to this Section 3.3 with respect
to an Underwritten Offering unless each Holder that holds at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (after giving
effect to the exchange of all outstanding Company Units) and each of PubCo’s directors and executive officers have executed a
lock-up on terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Underwritten Offering as requested of the Holders.


 


Section
3.3           
General Procedures. In connection with effecting any Registration or Shelf Takedown, subject to applicable Law and
any regulations promulgated by any securities exchange on which PubCo’s Equity Securities are then listed, each as interpreted by
PubCo with the advice of its counsel, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of the
Registrable Securities included in such Registration in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto
PubCo shall, as expeditiously as possible:


 


(a)             prepare and file with the SEC as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities
and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold;


 


(b)             prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements
to the Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by any Holder or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable
to the registration form used by PubCo or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement
effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution
set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;


 


(c)             prior 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,
if any, 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 or the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;


 






    20


     


    

 


(d)             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 (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or
qualification) 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 Entities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of
PubCo 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 PubCo 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;


 


(e)             cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar
securities issued by PubCo are then listed;


 


(f)              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;


 


(g)             advise each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, promptly after it shall receive notice
or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC 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;


 


(h)             at least three (3) calendar 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 draft thereof to each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or its counsel,
if any (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);


 


(i)              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 3.7;


 






    21


     


    

 


(j)              permit
Representatives of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or
Underwriter to participate, at each such Person’s own expense except to the extent such expenses constitute Registration
Expenses, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, make available for inspection by the Holders of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement
and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall
be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause PubCo’s officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Representative, Underwriter, attorney, consultant or accountant
in connection with the Registration, and cause PubCo’s officers, directors and employees to cooperate fully in any offering of
Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement
with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in reasonably requested
meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential investors; provided, however, that such Persons agree
to confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to PubCo, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;


 


(k)             obtain a “cold comfort” letter, and a bring-down thereof, from PubCo’s independent registered public accountants
in the event of an Underwritten Offering 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;


 


(l)              on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative
assurances letter, dated such date, of counsel representing PubCo 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 the participating Holders;


 


(m)            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;


 


(n)             make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of
at least 12 months beginning within three months 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 SEC);


 


(o)             if an Underwritten Offering involves Registrable Securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities
and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million, use its reasonable best
efforts to make available senior executives of PubCo to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably
requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and


 


(p)             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.


 






    22


     


    

 


Section
3.4            Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by PubCo. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the
Holders selling any Registrable Securities in an offering 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 such Holders, in each case pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that such Holders have
sold in such Registration.


 


Section
3.5           
Requirements for Participating in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Investor Rights Agreement, if any Holder does not provide PubCo with its requested Holder Information, PubCo may exclude such Holder’s
Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if PubCo determines, based on the advice of counsel, that
such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person
may participate in any Underwritten Offering of Equity Securities of PubCo pursuant to a Registration under this Investor Rights Agreement
unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting and other arrangements
approved by PubCo in the case of an Underwritten Offering initiated by PubCo, and approved by the Demanding Holders in the case of an
Underwritten Offering initiated by the Demanding Holders and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney,
custody agreements, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Subject to the minimum thresholds set forth in Section 3.1(c) and 3.3(o),
the exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.5 shall not affect the registration of the other
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.


 


Section
3.6            Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from PubCo 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 (and PubCo hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or
amendment as soon as practicable after giving such notice), or until it is advised in writing by PubCo that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed. If (1) the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any
Registration at any time would require PubCo to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration
Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to PubCo for reasons beyond PubCo’s control or (2) PubCo determines
that the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by PubCo or any of its subsidiaries to engage in
any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation,
tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, financing or other transaction involving PubCo, PubCo 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 may PubCo exercise the right to delay or suspend for more than two
periods in any twelve (12) month period and not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period,
determined in good faith by PubCo to be necessary for such purpose (a “Blackout Period”). In the event PubCo
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 such Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell
Registrable Securities. PubCo shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any Blackout Period during which it
exercised its rights under this Section 3.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PubCo shall not exercise its rights under this
Section 3.6 to invoke a Blackout Period unless it applies the same Blackout Period restrictions contained herein to all other
securityholders of the Company with contractual registration rights.


 






    23


     


    

 


Section
3.7           
Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, PubCo, 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 PubCo after the Effective Date 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; provided that any documents publicly filed
or furnished with the SEC pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished
to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.7.


 


Section
3.8           
Other Obligations. In connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities exempt from Section 5 of the Securities
Act or through any broker-dealer transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within the Prospectus and pursuant to the
Registration Statement of which such Prospectus forms a part, PubCo shall, subject to applicable Law, as interpreted by PubCo with the
advice of counsel, and the receipt of any customary documentation required from the applicable Holders in connection therewith, (a) promptly
instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being Transferred and (b) cause
its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under clause
(a). In addition, PubCo shall cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders,
in connection with the aforementioned Transfers; provided, however, that PubCo shall have no obligation to participate in any “road
shows” or assist with the preparation of any offering memoranda or related documentation with respect to any Transfer of Registrable
Securities in any transaction that does not constitute an Underwritten Offering.


 


Section
3.9           
Indemnification and Contribution.


 


(a)             PubCo
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers, managers, directors, trustees, equityholders, beneficiaries,
affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against
all losses, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (or actions in respect thereto)
caused by, resulting from, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or similar document incident to any Registration, qualification,
compliance or sale effected pursuant to this ARTICLE III 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, or
(ii) any violation or alleged violation by PubCo of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities Laws, and
will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder, its officers, managers, directors, trustees, equityholders, beneficiaries,
affiliates, agents and Representatives and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or action; provided that, PubCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, damage,
loss, liability or expense are caused by or arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance and in
conformity with written information furnished to PubCo by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. PubCo 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 sentence with respect to the indemnification of each Holder.


 






    24


     


    

 


(b)             In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder
shall furnish to PubCo in writing such information and affidavits as PubCo reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by Law, such Holder shall indemnify
and hold harmless PubCo, its directors, officers, employees, equityholders, affiliates and agents and each Person who controls PubCo (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of, resulting from or based on any untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or similar document or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of
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 sentence with respect to indemnification of
PubCo.


 


(c)             Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.9 shall (i) give prompt written notice, after such Person
has actual knowledge thereof, to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which such Person 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 in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation) and (ii) permit such indemnifying
party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) and the indemnified party may participate in such defense at the indemnifying party’s expense if representation
of such indemnified party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. An indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, without
the consent of each indemnified party, may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) includes as a term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability with
respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include any recovery (including any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability
or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party) other than monetary damages, and provided, that any sums payable
in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the indemnifying party.


 






    25


     


    

 





(d)             The
indemnification provided under this Investor Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, manager, director, Representative or controlling Person of such indemnified
party and shall survive the Transfer of securities.


 


(e)             If the indemnification provided in this Section 3.9 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 Section 3.9(e) 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 Sections 3.9(a), 3.9(b) and 3.9(c), any legal or other fees, charges
or expenses reasonably incurred by such Party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Parties agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.9(e) 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 Section 3.9(e). 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 Section 3.9(e) from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


Section
3.10        Other
Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights set forth in the Original RRA, in the registration rights agreements entered
into with the PIPE Investors (the “PIPE RRAs”), and the registration rights agreements entered into with the Pre-PIPE
Investors (the “Pre-PIPE RRAs”), PubCo represents and warrants that no Person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Investor Rights Agreement, has any right to require PubCo to register any securities of PubCo for sale or to include
such securities of PubCo in any Registration Statement filed by PubCo for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account
of any other Person. Further, each of PubCo, the Other Holders and the Sponsors represents and warrants that this Investor Rights Agreement
supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreements (including the Original RRA), other than the PIPE RRAs and the Pre-PIPE
RRAs.


 


Section
3.11        Rule
144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, PubCo
covenants that it will (a) make available at all times information necessary to comply with Rule 144, if such Rule is available with
respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, and (b) take such further action as the Holders may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable them to sell Registrable Securities without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if
available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rule may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of
any Holder, PubCo will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether PubCo has complied with such information
requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.


 






    26


     


    

 


Section
3.12        Term.
ARTICLE III shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities.
The provisions of Section 3.10 shall survive any such termination with respect to such Holder.


 


Section
3.13        Holder
Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing by PubCo, to represent to PubCo the total number of Registrable Securities
held by such Holder in order for PubCo to make determinations under this Investor Rights Agreement, including for purposes of Section
3.12. Other than the Sellers, a Party who does not hold Registrable Securities as of the Closing Date and who acquires Registrable
Securities after the Closing Date will not be a “Holder” until such Party gives PubCo a representation in writing of
the number of Registrable Securities it holds.


 


Section
3.14        Termination
of Original RRA. Upon the Closing, PubCo, the Other Holders and the Sponsors hereby agree that the Original RRA and all of the respective
rights and obligations of the parties thereunder are hereby terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect.


 


Section
3.15        Distributions.


 


(a)             In the event that a Seller distributes all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to its direct equity holders, such
distributees shall be treated as a Seller under this Investor Rights Agreement; provided that such distributees, taken as a whole, shall
not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred on a Seller, as if such Seller remained a single party to this Investor Rights
Agreement.


 


(b)             In the event that any Sponsor that is an entity distributes all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to its direct
equity holders, such distributees shall be treated as a Sponsor under this Investor Rights Agreement; provided that such distributees,
taken as a whole, shall not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred on such distributing Sponsor, as if such distributing Sponsor
remained a single party to this Investor Rights Agreement.


 


(c)             In the event that an Other Holder distributes all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to its direct equity holders,
such distributees shall be treated as an Other Holder under this Investor Rights Agreement; provided that such distributees, taken as
a whole, shall not be entitled to rights in excess of those conferred on an Other Holder, as if such Other Holder remained a single party
to this Investor Rights Agreement.


 


(d)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution for purposes of this Section 3.15 may occur prior to the conclusion
of any Lock-Up Period applicable to the Sponsors, such Other Holder or such Seller, as applicable.


 


Section
3.16        Adjustments.
If there are any changes in the Common Stock as a result of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through
merger, consolidation, recapitalization or other similar event, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this
Investor Rights Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations under this Investor Rights
Agreement shall continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed.

ARTICLE
IV

LOCK-UP


 


Section
4.1           
Lock-Up.


 


(a)             No Holder shall effect any Transfer, or make a public announcement of any intention to effect such Transfer, of any Lock-Up
Shares (as defined below) Beneficially Owned or otherwise held by such Person during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below) applicable
to such Person; provided, that such prohibition shall not apply to Transfers (i) permitted pursuant to Section 4.2, (ii)
permitted pursuant to ARTICLE III, (iii) any Transfer by the Sellers of any Company Units in accordance with the Company A&R
LLCA (and any related Transfer of Class B Voting Stock), (iv) by any Seller following the Seller Lock-Up Period (as defined below), (v)
by the Other Holders following the Other Holder Lock-Up Period (as defined below) or (vi) by any Sponsor following the Sponsor Lock-Up
Period (as defined below). The “Seller Lock-Up Period” shall be the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing
until the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date; provided that, the Seller Lock-Up Period with respect to the Earnout
Shares and the Earnout Common Units shall not end prior to the date that such Earnout Shares or such Earnout Common Units are earned in
accordance with the BCA. The “Other Holder Lock-Up Period” shall be the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing
until the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date. The “Sponsor Lock-Up Period” shall be the period commencing
on the Closing Date and continuing until the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date. “Lock-Up Period” means
with respect to the Sellers (including any Person who succeeds to such Seller’s rights under this Investor Rights Agreement pursuant
to Section 5.1), the Seller Lock-Up Period, with respect to the Other Holders (including any Person who succeeds to such Other
Holder’s rights under this Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1), the Other Holder Lock-Up Period and with respect
to the Sponsors (including any Person who succeeds to such Sponsor’s rights under this Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to Section

by the Holders as of the Closing Date, including Class A Common Stock, Class B Voting Stock and the Company Units, (ii) the Earnout Shares
and the Earnout Common Units, in each case, whether or not earned prior to the end of the Seller Lock-Up Period, and (iii) shares of Class
A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company A&R LLCA upon exchange of Company Units held as of the Closing Date, along with an equal
number of Class B Voting Stock, for Class A Common Stock.


 


(b)             During the Lock-Up Period, any purported Transfer of Lock-Up Shares other than in accordance with this Investor Rights Agreement
shall be null and void, and PubCo shall refuse to recognize any such Transfer for any purpose; provided that the Sellers shall be permitted
to exchange any Company Unit or Class B Voting Stock held by such Sellers for Class A Common Stock.


 






    28


     


    

 





(c)             The
Holders acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, the Equity
Securities in the Company (including the Earnout Shares, the Earnout Common Units, shares of Class B Voting Stock and shares of Class
A Common Stock), in each case, Beneficially Owned by such Person shall remain subject to any restrictions on Transfer under applicable
securities Laws of any Governmental Entity, including all applicable holding periods under the Securities Act and other rules of the
SEC.


 


Section
4.2            Permitted
Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, during the Lock-Up Period
applicable to such Person, the Holders may Transfer, without the consent of PubCo, any of such Person’s Lock-Up Shares to (i)
any of such Person’s Permitted Transferees, upon written notice to PubCo and, in the case of such a Transfer by a Sponsor, an
Other Holder or its, his or her Permitted Transferees, the Equityholder Representative, and in the case of such a Transfer by a
Seller or its, his or her Permitted Transferees, the Sponsor Representative; (ii) (a) a charitable organization, upon written notice
to PubCo and, in the case of such a Transfer by a Sponsor, an Other Holder or its, his or her Permitted Transferees, the
Equityholder Representative, and in the case of such a Transfer by a Seller or its, his or her Permitted Transferees, the Sponsor
Representative; (b) in the case of an individual, by virtue of Laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (c) in
the case of an individual, by operation of Law or pursuant to a court order, such as a qualified domestic relations order, divorce
decree or separation agreement; (d) as a distribution to limited partners, members or stockholders of such Holder; or (e) to a
nominee or custodian of a Person to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under this clause (ii); (iii) pursuant to
any liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of PubCo’s stockholders having the
right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Business Combination; (iv)
pledges of Lock-up Shares as security or collateral in connection with a borrowing or the incurrence of any indebtedness by the
Holder, provided, however, that such borrowing or incurrence of indebtedness is secured by either a portfolio of assets or equity
interests issued by multiple issuers; (v) pursuant to an order or decree of a governmental authority; (vi) from an employee to PubCo
or its Subsidiary death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such employee; (vii) transfers pursuant to a bona
fide third-party tender offer, merger, stock sale, recapitalization, consolidation or other transaction involving a change of
control of PubCo (including negotiating and entering into an agreement providing for any such transaction); provided, however, that
in the event that such tender offer, merger, recapitalization, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up
Shares subject to this Agreement shall remain subject to this Agreement; (viii) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule
10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Lock-up Shares
during the Lock-Up Period; (ix) to PubCo (a) pursuant to the exercise of any option to purchase Common Stock granted by PubCo
pursuant to any employee benefit plans or arrangements (including any employee benefit plans or arrangements assumed in connection
with the Merger), or (b) for the purpose of satisfying any withholding taxes (including estimated taxes) due as a result of the
exercise of any option to purchase Common Stock or the vesting of any stock-based awards granted by PubCo pursuant to employee
benefit plans or arrangements (including any employee benefit plans or arrangements assumed in connection with the Merger); or (x)
with the prior written consent of PubCo pursuant to a written instrument executed by both PubCo and, if Seller has a right to a
board designee pursuant to this Agreement, any board designees of Seller, or, if such person is not serving as a director of PubCo,
Byron Roth or John Lipman; provided, that in connection with any Transfer of such Lock-Up Shares pursuant to clause (ii)
and (iii) above, (A) the restrictions and obligations contained in Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2 will continue
to apply to such Lock-Up Shares after any Transfer of such Lock-Up Shares and such Transferee shall agree to be bound by such
restrictions and obligations in writing and acknowledged by Pubco, and (B) the Transferee of such Lock-Up Shares shall have no
rights under this Investor Rights Agreement, unless, for the avoidance of doubt, such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee in
accordance with this Investor Rights Agreement. Any Transferee of Lock-Up Shares who is a Permitted Transferee of the Transferor
pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be required, at the time of and as a condition to such Transfer, to become a party to this
Investor Rights Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder in the form attached to this Investor Rights Agreement as Exhibit
A, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Party (with the same rights and obligations as the Transferor) for all
purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, a Holder may not
make a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee if such Transfer has as a purpose the avoidance of, or is otherwise undertaken in
contemplation of avoiding, the restrictions on Transfers in this Agreement (it being understood that the purpose of this provision
includes prohibiting the Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (A) that has been formed to facilitate a material change with respect to
who or which entities Beneficially Own the underlying Lock-Up Shares or (B) followed by a change in the relationship between the
Holder and the Permitted Transferee (or a change of control of such Holder or Permitted Transferee) after the Transfer with the
result and effect that the Holder has indirectly made a Transfer of Lock-Up Shares by using a Permitted Transferee, which Transfer
would not have been directly permitted under this ARTICLE IV had such change in such relationship occurred prior to such
Transfer).

Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.


 


(a)             Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Investor Rights Agreement, no Party may assign such Party’s rights
and obligations under this Investor Rights Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Equityholder Representative,
in the case of (i) an assignment by a Sponsor or a Permitted Transferee thereof or (ii) an assignment by an Other Holder or a Permitted
Transferee thereof, or the Sponsor Representative, in the case of an assignment by a Seller or a Permitted Transferee thereof. Any such
assignee may not again assign those rights, other than in accordance with this ARTICLE V. Any attempted assignment of rights or
obligations in violation of this ARTICLE V shall be null and void.


 


(b)             Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement (other than the succeeding sentence of this Section
5.1(b)), (i) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Holder, no Holder may Transfer such Holder’s
rights or obligations under this Investor Rights Agreement in connection with a Transfer of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities, in whole or in part, except in connection with a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.2; and (ii) after the expiration
of the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Holder, a Holder may Transfer such Holder’s rights or obligations under this Investor
Rights Agreement in connection with a Transfer of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, in whole or in part, to (x) any of
such Holder’s Permitted Transferees, or (y) any Person with the prior written consent of PubCo. In no event can the Sponsors,
the Other Holders, the Sellers, the Equityholder Representative, or the Sponsor Representative assign any of such Person’s
rights under Section 2.1. Any Transferee of Registrable Securities (other than pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement or a Rule 144 transaction) pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be required, at the time of and as a condition to
such Transfer, to become a party to this Investor Rights Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder in the form attached to
this Investor Rights Agreement as Exhibit A, whereupon such Transferee will be treated as a Party (with the same rights and
obligations as the Transferor) for all purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement. No Transfer of Registrable Securities by a Holder
shall be registered on PubCo’s books and records, and such Transfer of Registrable Securities shall be null and void and not
otherwise effective, unless any such Transfer is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Investor Rights Agreement,
and PubCo is hereby authorized by all of the Holders to enter appropriate stop transfer notations on its transfer records to give
effect to this Investor Rights Agreement.

(c)             All of the terms and provisions of this Investor Rights Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective
successors, assigns, heirs and representatives, but shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors, assigns, heirs
and representatives of any Party only to the extent that they are permitted successors, assigns, heirs and representatives pursuant to
the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement.


 


(d)             Nothing in this Investor Rights Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Party, other than the Parties
and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs and representatives, any rights or remedies under this Investor Rights Agreement
or otherwise create any third party beneficiary hereto.


 


Section
5.2           
Termination. Except for Section 2.1(i) - (k), ARTICLE II shall terminate automatically (without any
action by any Party) as to the Sellers, the Other Holders, or the Sponsors at such time at which such Party no longer has the right to
designate an individual for nomination to the Board under this Investor Rights Agreement. ARTICLE III of this Investor Rights Agreement
shall terminate as set forth in Section 3.13. The remainder of this Investor Rights Agreement shall terminate automatically (without
any action by any Party) as to each Holder when such Holder ceases to Beneficially Own any Registrable Securities; provided that,
the provisions of Section 3.10 shall survive any such termination with respect to such Holder.


 


Section
5.3           
Severability. If any provision of this Investor Rights Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
by any Governmental Entity, the remaining provisions of this Investor Rights Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law shall remain in
full force and effect.


 


Section
5.4           
Entire Agreement; Amendments; No Waiver.


 


(a)             This Investor Rights Agreement, together with the Exhibit to this Investor Rights Agreement, the BCA, the LLC Agreement,
and all other Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the BCA), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings and discussions, whether oral or written,
relating to such subject matter in any way and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements among the Parties in connection
with such subject matter except as set forth in this Investor Rights Agreement and therein.


 






    31


     


    

 





(b)             No
provision of this Investor Rights Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time without the express written consent
of (i) PubCo, (ii) for so long as the Sellers and their Permitted Transferees collectively Beneficially Own Class A Common Stock (in
the Company and PubCo, without duplication) representing 10% or more of the Class A Common Stock held by the Sellers immediately after
the Closing (excluding for these purposes from both the percentage Beneficially Owned immediately after the Closing and percentage then
Beneficially Owned at any time, the number of Company Units and the corresponding number of shares of Buyer Class B Voting Stock, in
each case, sold, assigned and transferred by Sellers to Pubco pursuant to and in accordance with the BCA), the Equityholder Representative,
(iii) for so long as the Sponsors and its, his or her Permitted Transferees or the Other Holders and its, his or her Permitted Transferees
collectively Beneficially Own Class A Common Stock in PubCo representing 50% or more of the Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsors
or the Other Holders immediately after the Closing, the Sponsor Representative, and (iv) in any event at least the Holders holding in
the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders; provided that any
such amendment or modification that would be materially and disproportionately adverse in any respect to any Holder shall require the
prior written consent of such Holder; provided, further that a provision that has terminated with respect to a Party shall not
require any consent of such Party (and such Party’s Class A Common Stock shall not be considered in computing any percentages)
with respect to amending or modifying such provision.


 


(c)             No waiver of any provision or default under, nor consent to any exception to, the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement
shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be bound and then only to the specific purpose, extent and instance so
provided.


 


Section
5.5           
Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Investor Rights Agreement and any other agreements, certificates, instruments
and documents delivered pursuant to this Investor Rights Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts and by fax,
e-mail or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement. No Party shall raise the use of a fax machine, e-mail or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that
any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine, email or other electronic transmission
as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a Contract and each Party forever waives any such defense.

Section
5.7           
Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. The Law of the State of Delaware shall govern (a) all claims or
matters related to or arising from this Investor Rights Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions
concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability hereof, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this
Investor Rights Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions
(whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Delaware. EACH PARTY TO THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED
WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG
THE PARTIES UNDER THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER
WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or if such court declines
jurisdiction, then to the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Investor
Rights Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring
any Action arising out of or relating to this Investor Rights Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 5.7, however,
shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a
final judgment in any Action so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided
by Law or at equity.


 






    34


     


    

 


Section 5.8           
Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that, in the event any of the provisions hereof are not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or otherwise are breached, money damages would be inadequate (and therefore the non-breaching Party would have no adequate
remedy at Law) and the non-breaching Party would be irreparably damaged. Accordingly, each Party agrees that each other Party shall be
entitled to specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security or needing to prove
irreparable harm) to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to enforce specifically this Investor Rights Agreement to the extent
expressly contemplated herein or therein and the terms and provisions hereof in any Action, in addition to any other remedy to which
such Person may be entitled. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief
on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy
for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Investor
Rights Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in accordance with this Section 5.8 shall not be
required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.


 


Section
5.9           
Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Any Equity Securities of PubCo or the Company acquired subsequent to the Effective
Date by a Holder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Investor Rights Agreement and such shares shall be considered to
be “Registrable Securities” as such term is used in this Investor Rights Agreement.


 


Section
5.10        Legends.
Each of the Holders acknowledges that (i) no Transfer, hypothecation or assignment of any Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by
such Holder may be made except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and (ii) PubCo shall (x) place customary
restrictive legends on the certificates or book entries representing the Registrable Securities subject to this Investor Rights Agreement
and (y) remove such restrictive legends at the time the applicable Transfer and other restrictions contemplated thereby are no longer
applicable to the Registrable Securities represented by such certificates or book entries.


 


Section
5.11        No
Third Party Liabilities. This Investor Rights Agreement may only be enforced against the named parties hereto. All claims or
causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to any of this Investor Rights
Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Investor Rights Agreement (including any representation or warranty
made in or in connection with this Investor Rights Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Investor Rights Agreement), may
be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto, as applicable; and no past, present or future
direct or indirect director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, portfolio company in which
any such Party or any of its investment fund Affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa), agent, attorney or
representative of any Party hereto (including any Person negotiating or executing this Investor Rights Agreement on behalf of a
Party hereto), unless a Party to this Investor Rights Agreement, shall have any liability or obligation with respect to this
Investor Rights Agreement or with respect any claim or cause of action (whether in contract or tort) that may arise out of or relate
to this Investor Rights Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Investor Rights Agreement (including a
representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Investor Rights Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this
Investor Rights Agreement).

Section
5.12        Indemnification;
Exculpation.


 


(a)             PubCo will, and PubCo will cause each of its subsidiaries to, jointly and severally indemnify, exonerate and hold the Holders
and each of their respective direct and indirect partners, equityholders, members, managers, Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees, representatives and agents and each of the partners, equityholders, members, Affiliates,
directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Holder
Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses,
damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred
by the Holder Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Investor Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry, arbitration or claim (each,
an “Action”) to the extent arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) any Holder’s
or its Affiliates’ ownership of Equity Securities of PubCo or control or ability to influence PubCo or any of its subsidiaries (other
than any such Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any breach of this Investor Rights Agreement
by such Holder Indemnitee or its Affiliates or other related Persons or the breach of any fiduciary or other duty or obligation of such
Holder Indemnitee to its direct or indirect equity holders, creditors or Affiliates, (y) to the extent such control or the ability to
control PubCo or any of its subsidiaries derives from such Holder’s or its Affiliates’ capacity as an officer or director
of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, or (z) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are directly caused by such Person’s willful
misconduct), (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or (iii)
any services provided prior to, on or after the date of this Investor Rights Agreement by any Holder or its Affiliates to PubCo or any
of their subsidiaries; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or
unenforceable for any reason, PubCo will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable Law. For the purposes of this Section 5.12, none of
the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply
absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation
is so determined to apply to any Holder Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by PubCo or any of its subsidiaries,
then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Holder Indemnitee to PubCo and its subsidiaries. The rights of any Holder Indemnitee
to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument
to which such Holder Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Law or regulation or under the
organizational or governing documents of PubCo or its subsidiaries.


 






    36


     


    

 


(b)            PubCo
will, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, reimburse any Holder Indemnitee for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any other litigation-related expenses) as they are
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or assisting in the defense of any Action for which the
Holder Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Section 5.12, or any action or proceeding
arising therefrom, whether or not such Holder Indemnitee is a party thereto. PubCo or its subsidiaries, in the defense of any Action
for which a Holder Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Section 5.12, may, without the
consent of such Holder Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement if and only if it (i) includes as a
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such Holder Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all
liability with respect to such Action, (ii) does not impose any limitations (equitable or otherwise) on such Holder Indemnitee, and
(iii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Holder
Indemnitee, and provided, that the only penalty imposed in connection with such settlement is a monetary payment that will be
paid in full by PubCo or its subsidiaries.


 


(c)             PubCo
acknowledges and agrees that PubCo shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily
responsible for the payment to any Holder Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly
Indemnifiable Claims (as defined below), pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the Organizational Documents, each as amended, (ii) any director indemnification agreement, (iii) this Investor
Rights Agreement, any other agreement between PubCo or any of its subsidiaries and such Holder Indemnitee (or its Affiliates)
pursuant to which such Holder Indemnitee is indemnified, (iv) the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any
subsidiary of PubCo or (v) the certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating
agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of any
subsidiary of PubCo ((i) through (v) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of
recovery such Holder Indemnitee (or its Affiliates) may have from any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than PubCo, any of its subsidiaries or the insurer under and
pursuant to an insurance policy of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries) from whom such Holder Indemnitee may be entitled to
indemnification with respect to which, in whole or in part, PubCo or any of its subsidiaries may also have an indemnification
obligation (collectively, the “Indemnitee-Related Entities”). Under no circumstance shall PubCo or any of its
subsidiaries be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement
or recovery any Holder Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of such
Holder Indemnitee or the obligations of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of
the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to any Holder Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any
Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) PubCo shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its subsidiaries to, reimburse the
Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such
Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by PubCo or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to
clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such
payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Holder Indemnitee against PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, and (z)
such Holder Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to
secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities
effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the Parties agree that each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be
third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 5.12(c), entitled to enforce this Section 5.12(c) as though
each such Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Investor Rights Agreement. PubCo shall cause each of its subsidiaries to
perform the terms and obligations of this Section 5.12(c) as though each such subsidiary were a party to this Investor Rights
Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.12(c), the term “Jointly Indemnifiable Claims” shall be broadly
construed and shall include, without limitation, any Indemnified Liabilities for which any Holder Indemnitee shall be entitled to
indemnification from both (1) PubCo or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Indemnification Sources, on the one hand, and (2) any
Indemnitee-Related Entity pursuant to any other agreement between any Indemnitee-Related Entity and such Holder Indemnitee (or its
Affiliates) pursuant to which such Holder Indemnitee is indemnified, the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization
of any Indemnitee-Related Entity or the certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement,
operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of
any Indemnitee-Related Entity, on the other hand.


 






    37


     


    

 


(d)             In no event shall any Holder Indemnitee be liable to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries for any act, alleged act, omission
or alleged omission that does not constitute willful misconduct or fraud of such Holder Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(e)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Investor Rights Agreement, for purposes of this Section 5.12,
the term Holder Indemnitees shall not include any Holder or its any of its partners, equityholders, members, Affiliates, directors, officers,
fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents or any of the partners, equityholders, members, Affiliates, directors,
officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing who is an officer or director of PubCo
or any of its subsidiaries in such capacity as officer or director. Such officers and directors are or will be subject to separate indemnification
in such capacity through this Investor Rights Agreement or the certificate of incorporation or organization, bylaws or limited partnership
agreements and other instruments of PubCo and its subsidiaries.


 


(f)              The rights of any Holder Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.12 will be in addition to any other
rights any such Person may have under any other section of this Investor Rights Agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which
such Holder Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the certificate
of limited partnership, limited partnership agreement, certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent governing documents) of PubCo
or any of its subsidiaries.

Section
5.13        Other
Opportunities.


 


(a)             The
Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) each of the Holders (including
(A) their respective Affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which they or any of their respective investment fund Affiliates have
made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other
similar direct or indirect investors) and the Joint Director, the Seller Directors and the Sponsor Directors has the right to, and
shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly engage in and possess interests in other
business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of
business as PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or deemed to be competing with PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, on its own account, or
in partnership with, or as an employee, officer, director or shareholder of any other Person, with no obligation to offer to PubCo
or any of its subsidiaries, or any other Holder the right to participate therein; (ii) each of the Holders (including (A) their
respective Affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which they or any of their respective investment fund Affiliates have made a
debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar
direct or indirect investors) and the Joint Director and the Seller Directors and the Sponsor Directors may invest in, or provide
services to, any Person that directly or indirectly competes with PubCo or any of its subsidiaries; and (iii) in the event that any
of the Holders (including (A) their respective Affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which they or any of their respective
investment fund Affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners,
non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) or any Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director,
respectively, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate or other business opportunity for
PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, such Person shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present
such corporate opportunity to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or any other Holder, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any
provision of this Investor Rights Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or any other
Holder (or its Affiliates) for breach of any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such Person,
directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not
present such opportunity to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or any other Holder (or its Affiliates). For the avoidance of doubt,
the Parties acknowledge that this paragraph is intended to disclaim and renounce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law
, any right of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the matters set forth herein, and this paragraph shall be construed
to effect such disclaimer and renunciation to the fullest extent permitted by Law.


 


(b)            Each of the Parties hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:


 


(i)            confirms that none of the Holders or any of their respective Affiliates have any duty to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries
or to any other Holder other than the specific covenants and agreements set forth in this Investor Rights Agreement;


 


(ii)           acknowledges
and agrees that (A) in the event of any conflict of interest between PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of
the Holders or any of their respective Affiliates (or any Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director acting in his or her
capacity as such), on the other hand, such applicable Holder or applicable Affiliates (or any Joint Director, Seller Director or
Sponsor Director acting in his or her capacity as a director) may act in its best interest and (B) none of the Holders or any of
their respective Affiliates or any Joint Director, Seller Director or Sponsor Director acting in his or her capacity as a director
or observer, shall be obligated (1) to reveal to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries confidential information belonging to or relating
to the business of such Person or any of its Affiliates or (2) to recommend or take any action in its capacity as a direct or
indirect stockholder or director, as the case may be, that prefers the interest of PubCo or its subsidiaries over the interest of
such Person; and


 






    39


     


    

 


(iii)          waives any claim or cause of action against any of the Holders and any of their respective Affiliates, and any officer,
employee, agent or Affiliate of any such Person that may from time to time arise in respect of a breach by any such person of any duty
or obligation disclaimed under Section 5.13(b)(i) or Section 5.13(b)(ii).


 


(c)             Each of the parties hereto agrees that the waivers, limitations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section
