REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

Demand Registration.


 


2.1.1.
Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time on or after (i) the date that the Company consummates a Business
Combination with respect to the Private Warrants (or underlying securities) and Working Capital Warrants (or underlying securities)
or (ii) three months prior to the Release Date with respect to all other Registrable Securities, the holders of a majority-in-interest
of such Private Warrants (or underlying securities), Working Capital Warrants (or underlying securities) or other Registrable
Securities, as the case may be, held by the Investors, officers or directors of the Company or their affiliates, or the transferees
of the Investors, may make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Private Warrants
(or underlying securities), Working Capital Warrants (or underlying securities) or other Registrable Securities, as the case may
be (a “Demand Registration”). Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will within 10 days of the Company’s
receipt of the Demand Registration notify all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder of Registrable
Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each
such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall
so notify the Company within ten (10) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request,
the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section
2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of two
(2) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of all Registrable Securities.


 


2.1.2.
Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with
the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its
obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been
declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order
or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand
Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed,
rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter affirmatively elect to
continue the offering and notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days of such election; provided,
further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has
been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.


 






    	 	3	 



     


    

 


2.1.3.
Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company
as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand
Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable
Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion
of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing
to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.


 


2.1.4.
Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten
offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities
which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Ordinary Shares or other securities which the Company
desires to sell and the Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back
registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum
number of shares that can be sold in such 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 shares, as applicable,
the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the
Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with
the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares
held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as "Pro Rata")) that can be sold without
exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under
the foregoing clause (i), the Ordinary Shares or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), the other securities registrable pursuant to the terms of the Unit Purchase Option issued to EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc. or its designees in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Unit Purchase Option”
and such registrable securities, the “Option Securities”) as to which “piggy-back” registration
has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (iv)
fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii),
the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to
written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.


 


2.1.5.
Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled
to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to
withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw
prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If
the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such
registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in this Section 2.1.


 






    	 	4	 



     


    

 


2.2
Piggy-Back Registration.


 


2.2.1.
Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company proposes
to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other
obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for
shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation,
pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other
benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii)
for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then
the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable
but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall 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, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity
to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5)
days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith,
cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter
or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back
Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition
of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities
proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.


 


2.2.2.
Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten
offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of Ordinary
Shares which the Company desires to sell, taken together with Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which registration has been demanded
pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the holders of Registrable Securities
hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the Ordinary Shares,
if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other
shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:


 


a)
If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) the Ordinary Shares or other securities that the Company
desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Ordinary Shares or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable
Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration
rights of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) to the extent
that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Ordinary Shares or other securities
for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration
rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and


 






    	 	5	 



     


    

 


b)

the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of the demanding persons, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (A), the Ordinary Shares or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses
(A) and (B), the shares of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms
hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account
of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that
can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and


 


c)
If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the holders of
Registrable Securities or of Option Securities, (A) first, the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of the demanding
persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of
Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Ordinary Shares or other securities that the Company desires to
sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively the Ordinary Shares or other securities comprised of
Registrable Securities and Option Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof
and of the Unit Purchase Option, as applicable, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Ordinary

2.2.3.
Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable
Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making
a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders
of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.


 


2.2.4.
Unlimited Piggy-Back Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof
shall not be counted as a registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.


 


2.3
Registrations on Form S-3. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time, request in writing
that the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration
which may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
to effect such request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give
written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and each holder of Registrable Securities
who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall so
notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company, and, as soon
as practicable thereafter but not more than twelve (12) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request
for a registration, effect the registration of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities
as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company,
if any, of any other holder or holders joining in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 if: (i) Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the holders
of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such
registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of
less than $500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected
pursuant to Section 2.1.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.


 


3.1
Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:


 


3.1.1.
Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible and in any event within sixty (60) days
after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration
Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form
shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s)
of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for
the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration
for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration
to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by
the Chairman of the Board of Directors or President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected
at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately
preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration

in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such holders.

Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary

Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s)
of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement (which period shall not exceed the sum of one hundred eighty (180) days
plus any period during which any such disposition is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any

3.1.4.
Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2)
business days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such

days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any

and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating
thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment
to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement,
such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission
a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference,
the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel
for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders
and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any
Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which
such holders or their legal counsel shall reasonably object.


 


3.1.5.
Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution)
may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to
be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities or securities exchanges, including the Nasdaq Capital Market,
as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may
be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph
or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which
are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the
holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. No holder of Registrable Securities included in such
registration statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except as reasonably
requested by the Underwriters and, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s organization, good standing, authority,
title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder’s material agreements and organizational
documents, and with respect to written information relating to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly
for inclusion in such Registration Statement.

or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and fees
of any securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities
or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications
of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (iv) the Company’s internal
expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.11; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public
accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters
requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection
with such registration; and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a majority-in-interest
of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts
or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts
or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling shareholders and
the Company shall bear the expenses of the underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling
in such offering.


 


3.4
Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the
Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments
and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.


 






    	 	11	 



     


    

 


3.5
Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any underwritten offering for equity
securities of the Company pursuant to a registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell
such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes
and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other
customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.


 


3.6
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a registration statement
or prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until
it has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company
hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until
it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or
continued use of a registration statement in respect of any registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse
Disclosure (as defined below) or would require the inclusion in such registration statement of financial statements that are unavailable
to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action
to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such registration statement for the shortest
period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose.
In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their
receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the prospectus relating to any registration in connection with any sale
or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during
which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.6. “Adverse Disclosure” shall mean any public disclosure of material
non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the principal executive officer or principal financial
officer of the Company, after consultation with counsel to the Company, (i) would be required to be made in any registration statement
or prospectus in order for the applicable registration statement or prospectus not to contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein (in the case of any prospectus and any
preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (ii) would not be required
to be made at such time if the registration statement were not being filed, and (iii) the Company has a bona fide business purpose
for not making such information public.


 


3.7
Reporting Obligations. As long as any holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall
be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants
that it shall take such further action as any holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such holder to sell Ordinary Shares held by such holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of
the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request
of any holder, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it
has complied with such requirements.

4.
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.


 


4.1
Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of
Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys
and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”),
from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or
based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under
which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement,
or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation
promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with
any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss,
judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary
prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company,
in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable
Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter
on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.


 


4.2
Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event
that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held
by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any),
and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar
as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such
Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are
based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and
officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them
in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification
obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received
by such selling holder. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities,
their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter to the same
extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.


 






    	 	13	 



     


    

 


4.3
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or
liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified
Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder,
notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and
solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification
with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate
in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of
the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to
the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but
no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability
arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party,
with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel
of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent
to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified
Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment
or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

4.4
Contribution.


 


4.4.1.
If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect
of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and
the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such
Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.


 


4.4.2.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 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 the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations
set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts,
commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution
obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


4.5
Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person of such Indemnified
Party and shall survive the transfer of securities.


 


5.
UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.


 


5.1
Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time
to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

6.
MISCELLANEOUS.


 


6.1
Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of the Registrable Securities,
has any right to require the Company to register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include shares
of the Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its
own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes
any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between
any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.


 


6.2
Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder
may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of
the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in
conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and the permitted assigns of the Investor or
holder of Registrable Securities or of any assignee of the Investor or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not
intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article
4 and this Section 6.2. No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall
be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment
and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement).


 


6.3
Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively, “Notices”)
required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram,
telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by
written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram,
telex or facsimile; provided, that if such service or transmission is not on a business day or is after normal business hours,
then such notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given
on the next business day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable air courier service with an order for next-day
delivery.

6.4
Severability. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision
hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore,
in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part
of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible that is valid
and enforceable.


 


6.5
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 


6.6
Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments
delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between
the parties, whether oral or written.


 


6.7
Modifications and Amendments. Upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66-2/3%) of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and
conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one holder
of Registrable Securities, solely in its capacity as a holder of the Ordinary Shares, in a manner that is materially different
from the other holders of Registrable Securities (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the holder so affected. No course
of dealing between any holders of Registrable Securities or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on
the part of a holder of Registrable Securities or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any holder of Registrable Securities or the Company. No single or partial exercise
of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights
or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

6.8
Titles and Headings. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction of any provision of this Agreement.


 


6.9
Waivers and Extensions. Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party has the right
to waive, provided that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such
party, and specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach
or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained
shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained.
No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for
performance of any other obligations or acts.


 


6.10
Remedies Cumulative. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed
or performed under this Agreement, the Investor or any other holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce
its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for
an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce
any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of
the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter
available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.


 


6.11
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within the State of New York, without giving effect
to any choice-of-law provisions thereof that would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.


 


6.12
Waiver of Trial by Jury. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to a trial by jury in any action,
suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or relating
to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the actions of the Investor in the negotiation, administration, performance
or enforcement hereof.
